in the, in the world, this is no coincidence. ah, these women who are celebrating each other today, call themselves the harkin la army. ah, the hearken, the army is a conservationist group comprising of rural women who are on a single mission. ah, and that mission is to save the heart below before it's too late. i, unlike mainstream methods in species protection, the heart of the army prides itself in using cultural tools like traditional music festivities and dance to spread their message.
2:27 am
i, folksongs and dance are a huge part of community culture, not just in a some, but throughout india. when the har gala army picks its celebration style of environmental activists into the streets, it is met with instant success. he's a members write your own songs about the car, glad that they seem to the tune of existing folk and devotional song a
2:28 am
one. but i want them, i know most guys on i so and dos i go yeah, i was, i way much more. ha ha, are of the low end get dicky mccollugh echoed i was i i now i meet i wanna be i'd strong echo dyer ami, that boy down morgan gloria by name would they be so good about it did was a me down a book in 2014, a big her name of founded the high gala army when she led them with a simple idea that the heartless were a part of their local culture in history illness. and by adopting them as one of their own. these women could make a real impact on saving this species from extinction. without them i often that over no my deb, one way let me say so. able saw, i look at them and it is all right. i got to up and look at our ne by. he's
2:29 am
a boring time eyes and all horrible. horrible. it is a do home bubble up. none of us have bordered on it. so i was the by. did you stop packing your bit? yep. 90 lead board with images, with a hoc in the army, operates vertical hottie, the capital city of a some in the last 50 years go hotties population has more than double to make way for the expansion of human habitat wetlands that when surrounded the city have been rapidly cleared. mm. even though many communities in the northeast of india or match millennial, this is not really resulted in women having more advantage or independence. in
2:30 am
everyday life. men are usually the only ones who are able to leave their house for an education or job. and with that had the ability to earn an income. ah, the per capita income of a son is one of the lowest in the country. oh, emma lives and hattie with her husband and twin daughters conservation work. unlike a 9 to 5 job can continue 247 but being one of the only female conservationists in a some has not been easy although it is not man's and anyway,
2:31 am
but if he did it, if he did that, women or men cannot be gonzales and his so i had that day and then there be, are in my life in the do when i was working. and then when i have this barrier, and i realize more about the way men empowerment, because if i having my my so to be having a good education, if i could fit that. so how, what about those who really room in? ah, not only encouraged pennyman to involved in real women, she knew that once given an opportunity like her women would be able to bring a considerable change in people's attitude towards the bird. busy ready ah, so if we all day mean hiding and so one or many zeno every are many they create the
2:32 am
season model season so. so if we, if we could all day mean i think our mission would be successful. tough as it might have been. her efforts have not gone unnoticed. hern emma has won several awards and grants, which she likes to keep laid out in her living room as reminders. oh yeah. i know. i. oh i. what is the women whose life drastically changed is to nally berman to nally,
2:33 am
moved to deborah in 2015 after marriage, where she came in contact with the hard glove army that demons on us. and then when i got here, there wasn't much awareness about the business. if the american people didn't really know much about the hagler or how it could benefit them, he never went over. what i'm born him of. i then poor nima came on foot the hog in the army. did they always come after i started working with the high gonna army and was able to earn some income. it really made a difference for my family. i think lana the damn me on once we started attending meetings and leaving the confines of our home, we started to understand more of the world. what was said, it motivated us, it changed the course of our lives. i'm on the one of the what the whole anyway, william ah,
2:34 am
in one of her award applications, her name a proposed to buy sewing machines to help recruit women in the heart of the army. and it worked. the lure of such an opportunity brought hundreds of women into the movement. ah, that yeah, i'm way i can learn it. then i now have a new sense of identity. what that is, i, i know i am donati bowman, member of the hog, allow me a minute. the hottest so yeah, having lack hoggard, i live in these trees. so i mean, what i did, they live right next to my house diamond. we can see the birds, we can hear them and we can smell them on it's a smell. you'll never forget a grass out of these intimate spaces shared by the birds and humans had created a huge challenge for the har gala army as they pushed for
2:35 am
a change in behavior towards the bird. the droppings of the bird comparable to those of a big animal. create a stench that fills up the entire area where it resides. in ohio, honey, there are a few issues that we have to deal with. if a bird falls down from a tree and we fail to notice, or if it dies, then there's a strongest inch and, and people start to complain about the smell. they come and tell us why this man is coming from a nozzle. i haven't, you checked on any of the, the trees that the hog on the generally built nests on, are called the cut them, or bur flower trees. a fully mature tree can grow up to 45 meters parker, las usually build their nest right on top. the haga la chick is dependent on its parents entirely until 4 months after its birth. while learning how to fly, it is common for young harlow babies to fall out. many times,
2:36 am
even though it is fallen from its nest, the baby bird can be saved if it is found in time. after years of awareness campaigns, the villagers know that if they spot a baby bird that has fallen from the tree, they can call any member of the har gala army. usually per niema or her team can arrive as quickly as possible to the location and try to save the bird life. oh oh i my doctor reminded him a deal because the by day my it is a high month's body just dying to fly and go back the dough with them. but i then then suddenly feel that it happens every year, as i mentioned, and more than people give us and but hold on in need needed eskew and all. and many
2:37 am
of them die us despite several requests, neither the state government nor the forest department have set up a formal center for rescue and release of carlos. for now, the forest department does allow pardon of his team to use a room in an abandoned office. he did not do it as soon as it did them, body any negative, we made it like you did so like, oh my gum, our guy says, but this does not deter pennyman who leads no stone unturned to try and save the rescued birds. sometimes however, injured animals require trained medical aid, and this can be complicated when no such facilities are available.
2:38 am
they don't have a 3rd year, but we have to add internet to quality head from a different location. so you said that he would be gone, you'd be dying to come with panama becomes a surrogate mother to the rescued parts. only 1200, greater adjutant story, remain on the entire planet. these wetlands are also shrinking at an alarming rate. along with human encroachment, climate change forces and pollution are drying up their water sources more than a 1000000000 people depend on them for a living and 40 percent of the world's species live and breathe in wetlands. ah, the future of the planet is also at stake. if these fragile ecosystems disappear
2:39 am
forever, ah, and without a natural habitat, the hardened as existence will come in conflict with human activity. even more. this makeshift ski center is in a deplorable condition. despite efforts of the heart of the army, no one else as yet seems interested in taking the life of the rescued. harmless seriously. i merely thrust the dead because i feel like there are. the hardy lovers don't get dress bag after that is, you know, when and under any my leg, tigers and i know they have had they have if something happens to the other animals . so i think the how you log marred doesn't did the same as break from the office, isn't all

dead poise that we have to and bard him to was conservation. ah, the tradition of weaving is an intrinsic part of assamese culture. ready ready ah, they. ready historically, a woman's weaving skills were an important determinant for marriage eligibility, but to day it is a skill that has helped women of the heart color army to further their cause. busy ah, with government support weaving centers in various villages have been set up for local women are taught to run the move. no,
2:47 am
ne ridgemont. she is one of the head weavers of the group. ah, i mean, who has opened on us on what i say adam body. so we, we know we began in 2015, got there and weaving here ever since her law we make various articles of clothing and i also have a loon that home out there who is senior. that's where i know we love us here. we work in a group, i'm what i work here during the day and at night i, we've on my own lou in indian mythology, storks were carriers of the hindu god, vishnu. the creator of the universe. by popularizing this ancient religious reference, the harlem motif was created as another way to bring familiarity and respect for the bird. this motif is now woven on to everything. they make towels shirts, dresses, micheler chad, doors, and even bags. it has become
2:48 am
a way to recognize the members from afar. they are always wearing the hard color on their clothes. ready ready ready ah, did the hot, i think a boy did it when people see hug and as every day, not just in the fields, but on so close the manual, they take more interest in the birds. i mean, yeah, i also sell uh products online. and people ask us questions about rosetti ball they cola and they want to know more about it, but i'm on the on. it's done a lot to support our efforts by the go see the honda civic. oh, i thought of them as like of wouldn't of us back at the make shift rescue facility . a veterinary doctor has finally been able to check on the rescued bird you know, do that. oh i thought that the less like i would have had
2:49 am
to leave the dedication of the team has paid off. the rescued bird has been given a clean chip by the doctor and can be released. his number, the ring on the birds leg will help identify it as a rescued bird in the future. but this is a rudimentary set up. and currently there is no real way to monitor the birds whence they are back in the wild. now, more than ever, a formalized system of rescue and release has become a pressing need. if, if the order for this is a stronghold of the greater adjutant stoke, as you know, this bird is an endangered species. so it's important to see to the care of as many as possible in order to support the population. that's why it is crucial to have a rescue center close by to reduce the transport distance and stress to the animals . if the birds receive proper, they can also be released right here. it is always better to treat and release animals in the same place. they what nationally rescued is again unfortunately,
2:50 am
not all the rescued birds can be saved. sometimes nature takes its course and the weakest ones do not survive well. oh, well, i will hold that for you. okay. well, it isn't possible to give every bird a proper funeral per anymore. and her team do a quick burial for the ones who were rescued. regardless, i don't know, i had a little boy, even i'm not going to do. i was able to, a full can in about my, my be what had implemented of i, the guys are included amazon. then a photo body will put some powers us for aspect via the amazon filename here to they follow the same traditional customs that they would for bearing people. it's a symbolic way of giving the bird the same affection you would when a family member passes away.
2:51 am
oh ah oh yeah, what did you really have been with? even though most of the women in the heart of the army have barely had access to education, this has never stopped them from constantly innovating and pushing their mission further. noni and her group of weavers have decided to set up a travelling store whenever the women travel for meetings or visit festivals and exhibitions. they carry their little boutique with them. i from a b because out of
2:52 am
my beloved down on her, my me bubble gum. we sold a lot of mass during lockdown. me to be honest. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. might have stopped doing not go out of the high. gonna army didn't slow down a bit with best thought. we were kept busy weaving up. we'll see later we may, i go to iowa and we made mom boxy less. and that enabled us to earn an income and you go moxie lies you out. always about money, i'm was i bought their efforts in consequence success have shown how women from low income societies can become powerful partners in species conservation light on what are my like the how do you think are visiting them. other countries also like to buy the hockey like amazon, you go to, they want to know what a hog ya is. and what we in the ha, gonna do. what our responsibilities are. i mean, the highland motif has made the high gala army known all over the world. hi my name, quarter body. bad. not that significant. otherwise,
2:53 am
in mostly just house was on you, but now the whole world was the notice i'm to go to who it who mm. mm, the day arrives when one of the rescued birds is ready for release current emma has come to the us some soon to prepare the final steps. the forest department has offered to let her use some of their resources to aid this process. in order to not injure the bird during transportation, the right box is really crucial. technically only trained persons should be involved in the release of any species into the wild. but after years of experience and experimentation per animal feels confident about such missions. if that can, oh oh, what it was? mock the glasses and so the time has come for the bird to join. it's akin in
2:54 am
nature. eliza will only own a place of relief which borders the weapons where more harmless live has already been identified. with in the last 5 years, hundreds of young birds have been saved to such rescue missions. ah, just before sunset, the motley rescue crew begin their journey to take the bird far from the madding crowd. kearney my daughters have also joined her. not even
