a times the illusion, one and 7 species now facing extinction. and many others in decline. the time has come to we address that finding the today, the united kingdom is one of the most nature to treat these countries on our planet . but now he's not the time to dispense as individuals and communities of hazing. the way towards the price of each and the now is a time for speech like the

on the aisle of mon, scotland change is in the, the light tailed eagles. the you case, largest bed frame with a wing span of up to 8 feet. this magnificent that was hunted to extinction in the u. k. and the 19th century is the time. and victoria ends out shooting grouse, another game the time when sheet, but being bullied into the highlands and they didn't want any predators around. so white till he goes with top of the list to get rid of the last name, whites out ego in the highlands, shots in the chapman's in 1918. just shameful, really, well, human beings are capable of doing
8:19 pm
a bit off to decades of hard work and dedication that breeding david sexton and all those involved. it's been a lifelong late. but as now the of to several found attempts, the reintroduction program gathered momentum in the 19 seventy's. and today that continued what has led to one of the most successful wildlife conservation projects in the building 10 the yeah. and no way from 75 to 85. and they were kept in avery's own rum and science and taft, and then released. and that was the beginning of it already. that sounds a little started with these well,
8:20 pm
but did not ask that piece to then from and despite to successfully introduction, it took 10 years until they saw the fast successful breeding attempt from a positive settlement on i was lucky enough to be here in 1985, working for the r as b b. when that 1st check sledge we were here was ness protection. people ready at that time it was always the bar in risk of a collective. and it was a collectors that totally finished the builds of a 100 years previously. and so it was amazing on a to be part of that bit of conservation history in our tenants on the edge of the law. looking out houses committees is all about. we were the happiest people in the land, i think at that time not just the fest checked fly in the u. k. skies for maybe 70 is. that was quite
8:21 pm
a moment. the. the descendants of that matriarchal ego still living on now today in 2021 was a record to you so checks the highest number of checks i've ever known in my time. and we've fledged 20 checks this year, which is just a phenomenal result. and those checks take a lot of reading because when they hatch in mid april, may you know they come out of an egg. so does that sort of size kind of a little bullet down that would fit in how much you had in 10 weeks that going from that? so the grown equals the 8 foot long span, which is just phenomenal dates of drugs. and by the time they fly the nest, that's it. that's all the credit and they, they're pretty much changes, but they didn't get any bigger than what doc brown, top the tab and it's not until they reach maturity at 5 years old,
8:22 pm
but they get that amazing pale blown bright yellow beep. i'm not blaming white tale . most success story in bringing these beds back from extinction shows the change can happen when individuals and communities come together. but even today, conservation conflict remains a hot topic. one of the reasons why it to the was became extinct because of the to see conflict with lice stoke and there's no denying that egos. i printed 3 birds, golden eagle, and white told eagles a going to take some lambs the year. but what's going to fall now is, is the exaggeration and the claims of losses, which go way beyond reality. that equals why teddy doesn't particular have now just become the number one thing to fly, like, because big scavengers. so they will come in and take something off the other
8:23 pm
predators and started the process. and if they see something like that, going on, fill it out, they'll come in an individual and take the land. it might already be dead, it might be very dead. but either way, just it's the ego look at see and get slain. that's just an easy target. it's human kind and predators, you know, we, we tolerate them up to a point, but as soon as they interact in any way with what we want to do, we want rid of them. and that's the sort of challenge which we face. and you understand it from the, the farmers and across those point of view because the animals of a livelihood. but what we're trying to do is find ways through that to find ways of accommodating these bugs back in our lives. and normally slowly waiting studies you know that they respond to things like diverse and the feeding. you have to put
8:24 pm
out some alternative suits so slow, that means they happened to be missed and they're learning, taught like 3 or 4 fish a day. and they will take that and leave everything else alive. but what is happening more and more now is actually a change in the landscape of new changes in the way land is manage, the people are wanting to be moved about because logical restoration. and that's their main focus. it's not about of the stalking about shooting the sheep, simon. they welcome white toad eagles like one of them. so there's a definite new era approaching the despite misconceptions. white toad eagles shining pools and phone keeping other predators of pay, maintaining balance within the food chain. and for an isolated island community like mo, these magnificent beds,
8:25 pm
who say generate surprising economic benefit. bringing in as much as $5000000.00 pounds a year. as a result of white tailed eco tourism but i think in addition to the economic benefit, which is great and we need it, it is also just that was a mental health and wellbeing. the thing that they provide for people they give back bucket loads to the mountain. people are now coming to walk into to season people up for tears. and sometimes when they see an eagle in its natural habitat soaring in the sky. and that as much was in my view as of any pounds and then economic study david has never forgotten his fasting counter. plus staying among the 1980s. i'd see my
8:26 pm
associated on a holiday here. tough. so this mass, it the something across the last in melbourne for the prize speech to the whole let down the sort up and over the ridge. and that was the trigger for me. there was no going back to david and he began a lifelong career walk into the world societies of the protection of fat. finally, becoming the malware protection officer in 2003 jump. he's still finally committed to today. one of the things that gives me most pleasure at the moment is the fact that we're now able to do for england. what no way did for us back in the seventy's, you know, they had a thriving population brought to the goes and they donated a couple of 100 birds over the 3 releases now because that was a doing so well, we're helping projects who are releasing want to the eagles on the on of white so
8:27 pm
now there are numbers of white vehicles already soaring over the 1000 west coast of india meal. so i'm surprised for me that now is able to be part of that project. increasing a we need to make room in our lives for these animals that right. so you should be here. you know, we, we were the ones that got rid of them for no good reason. because the end of the day is what most people want in their lives. they want a rich by that's this countryside, the still get a huge kick out of watching these books and i do it. so how's a we know it's part of the job. i need to know where they are and what they're doing and then secure stopped. i would also just do it because i love doing it.
8:28 pm
i came having the right good friend back in the eighty's. he's now passed away. but that's my connection to him. you know, i think about it all the time. when i bought my girlfriend here, now my wife, you know, she loved mile and the eagles were part of that connection. my daughter's life growing up on mount eagles upon it, allied side of the whole connection speed went to davis. my life, who's expectedly, intertwine and con, separate it sorry, yeah, of the and then the,
8:29 pm
and sometimes we can look to native a help in more ways than one might imagine the around the world news is extreme tombs and becoming commonplace. and it's global temperatures continue to rise. as much as 51 percent of the world's population could be at risk from severe flooding. but one animal may be able to help be raising visa. these semi aquatic memos could play a significant role in person's nature, recovery and make the countryside more resilient to the impacts of climate change beavers and not to engineers. by failing trees and building dams,
8:30 pm
they can improve the quality of rivers. slowing down, cleaning and storing water. and these newly formed move habitats attractive, diverse abundance of wildlife. once native, because the whole of the you, k fevers were hunted to extinction 400 years ago. for the meat, for st guns, spots successful attempts to bring them back into wild have led to the fest up in beaver v introduction program in plymouth. lead and supported by progressive thinking council. the 6 hex every waltney enclosure, sat in an ancient with the natures of surrounded by local housing states. when you're inside the enclosure, it doesn't feel like you're in the area told, it feels pretty. wireless is basically a large community. nature is a why with
8:31 pm
a wildlife can link up trying to create a more diverse how the top i'm for the locals and just nature in general. j best to make again working approved from 5 years ago and became inspired to bring beef. it's back to the area of to watching a film about re welding. i think we're at a point now as well. i would love to say to place it in this country compared to a lot of countries that i think we still have to do is to try and bring a lot of that back to wherever possible and practical about 3 years ago. we still applies together and so could we really speak with a, a the logistics a was very difficult, but i think for most of the passions side of things we'll, we're ready how the heads in the right place. and we're already king trying to achieve that. the of to many consultations,
8:32 pm
the passion and dedication page in november 2020 alone male visa was introduced into, especially posing sasha, the fast to inhabit the valley. in over 400 years. few months makes sense. he was joined by a female when she was 1st released, she lived separately aside from the mail for the good 2 or 3 weeks, and then someone sold them swimming together on the pond. i'm not going to realize that they pads and they were living in the same thorough cheese. definitely the more dominant and in control. and he sort of just hooks up with what she wants to do and she'll snatch 6 off and she brought down the tray. she felt the majority of the time she saw of the ring leader, and he's just lot follows around everywhere you
8:33 pm
ration fevers can way up to 38 kilograms and a substantially larger than batch as well. there. they will clumsy forge for food on land. they have a water proof flare that eyes nevada like tao for swimming, which makes them better suited to life. and the water is a common misconception that they like fish, but they don't eat fish that completely. i've ever us a very basic level strip. the bulk of the tray analysis i think, will become the environs an 8th, which is basically really sugary strip that goes all the way through the woods. and then that also a large amount of vegetation, so that late brambles, out of funds, and brock and you know, everything that you might find that will, that will feed on that piece is past life. and the recent arrivals
8:34 pm
attracted a lot of interest from both young and old, within the community. and there is no doubts about joe's feeling towards these animals, which is an tim, the nickname of these, a man off of that, just to be honest, that he may never sent them a lot. they just just put in. i think that it's amazing to see an animal that can just basically do what you want to do for conservation and its own time. and it can completely shape an environment. you know, you can change the whole rid of the system. you can change the whole area of trees just from one level that's taking channels and building dams and things that yeah, i think that great and i think they should be protected and encouraged to spreads and controlled ways. the, the main reservation i saw was the welfare of the beavers. i think people worried
8:35 pm
that, you know, you might get a few people coming down and breaking in and doing things that they shouldn't be there. and so something that we took on boards, that's why i've got the cameras out keeping an eye on it. we've got the regular beaver patrols pieces allows the know tunnel, which means the camera traps that those that can observe the nighttime activities as well as monitoring the welfare around the clock. a time to just follow where that feed and signs also if it's of interest in a new a new tree, they started no rain or obviously when they started building the time. and when is be the steaks that turn off in a new location. and i'll try them to somebody about getting on kind of a lot of good for is that i got luckily, was just for yourself. think you're not going be there in china and dissipate why they've got the job. can already see a difference in the landscape of to any a few months of be frame away with the baby is one of the main names west to
8:36 pm
potentially show that flooding can be reduced from that behaviors. if you imagine you've got a more to cost, that actually is the same all the way through in all cases and $600.00 make is at the same topography of water and they've not put them in front of it. you know, half of really fast area of water comes in. it slows right down. when you stand back and look at both channels, you can see it and notice the difference between the channel and they have affected in the channel that housing factors the as the beam is installed more times and slight was having big problems. i'm trying to apply the volt can be sold, should show it in a big storm event that those big dams should bounce all or to reduce the amount that flows through the side and downstream. yet sometimes the johnny to a while the plan it can take longer than expected and
8:37 pm
then a crew twist of fate. a story took a very different time when a severe storm hit bassetti, the torrential rain caused substantial damage to the enclosure. and those fevers escape the the males sort refuge nearby. sadly, the female died of the if these architects have been here just a little longer with more time to build them and slow the fluff or to then the outcome could have been very different. joe and the team remained committed to the project and a rebuilding the fences with a new strong good design. they are hoping to welcome beavers back again in the near
8:38 pm
future the what's the facing that you see it would be so that the visit proved from other or thirty's, which would follow seat in areas at risk of floating around the weld of the restoring nature. back to its original state. is that some sort of as a land base concept? yes, it's the oceans in which to life when asked depend the you can islands comprise over 6000 islands and the war to surrounding these coastal communities for many volumes. and i don't either, hudson is
8:39 pm
a research scientist and the roots is around the west coast of scotland and have pass in the state of the hebrides is basically one of the most amazing places that we have not only in the you k, but in, in europe. as soon as you mentioned to me by a diverse place and the reason is so by base is because of the topography, so around and you get lots and lots of findings. channels right next, very shallow areas. the colors of office is extremely rich. and so when that comes up to the surface in certain areas around the world that's causing the strength of falling. so that brings he's looking nutrients to the surface and acts almost like kind of like a fair. why is that those and on cultural land around to see if the opportunities to change the facing of life. and it's just
8:40 pm
a really, really special thing. the feasible is of which in zoo clinton derived from the greek meaning wondering animals. this type of clinton change anything from microscopic organisms to largest species like jelly fish. this pretty much trying to set something magic whose sequence of events attracting other creatures to come and feed. so you get fish like micro hiring sprout song deals. sun hills are actually the lifeline. if the hebrides, if you like, there really fast, which makes and that brings all the savers recitations of the whales and open. and then that also brings the species i went to exclusive with the task. and so the reaching is the 40 feet and then it is the 2nd
8:41 pm
largest show can the ocean and they my great to be shoes every year, making this area one of the world's biggest spots, the speeding on this. and they sell top to 2000 tons of c o 2 an hour, 3 that goes acting like a giant says the these gen 2 creatures crew slowly along the ocean surface, which has in the past made them an easy target for hunting. they're pretty easy to find that right at the surface, the very slow moving. and so it's very, very easy to use to helping can shop it's liver. it contains an oil field, squalling oil back in the day that used to be used as an energy source oil on
8:42 pm
specifically thankfully the hunting u. v. shocks was found and the u. k. and the 19 ninety's iowa thinks that the current population is still recovering from that exploitation. and so the shocks a likely very, very long lived. so it takes them a long time to grow, to reach their actual maximum size. spending a small percentage of that time at the surface means that we still know chevy. little about these elusive animals. much of that allow you framing the depths remains a mystery. even to those who study these magnificent giants of the sea, we know that the vast can shop comes back to walters every summer. and we know they come back up to the surface to feed on the points and then we know that they go
8:43 pm
back down the dates and you know, they kind of my great sizes and kilometers and they can go thousands of need to speak to as well. we don't exactly know what it is that they're doing down there. we've never signed the nice thing. no one's actually ever seen about since i've given birth in the wild. i'm the only just starting to scratch the surface of what the boss can chalks. life is outside of the time and it comes back to us as well as to feed the understanding that breeding habits and migrate to repass ins could be key to protecting them from the invisible changes of climate change. for me, sees depleted feed sources and pollution are affecting the delicate balance of all marine ecosystems. shocks are keystone species, which basically means they played a super important role in the ecosystem. the marine ecosystem is basically
8:44 pm
assignment oil machine. so all of the conks have to be turning for the next part of the machine to work. and so when you see the boston chalks and you see, you know, large populations of in laws, obligations that means that the food that it symbolizes the housing car system. if the shocks on the it may be, signifies that something is going wrong with the rest of the machine this season. so we're worrying an unexpected change throughout the sea of hebrides to boston. shouts that normally with time, year on year, almost nowhere to be seen. there is no definitive explanation as to why this has happened, but it's a poignant reminder of how fragile these habitats trulia. as i led over it given a pipe, she and a team got lucky. on the late tool this afternoon,
8:45 pm
they caught sight of abbas ski shock and had one of the few encounters in the region that yeah, the and i felt really nice because it's very rare for me to get see almost the end of august and to have not seen one, the entire thing is and also it just shared joy. it signals to us that the shocks of silva and the ecosystem is still working, how it should, the
8:46 pm
being next to an animal of that size is probably one of the most humbling experiences that you can possibly have. so it makes me feel quite swollen because it was kind of takes you out with yourself or the they are very, very focused on where the status so she lying nicely still and slot and quiet the surface st. valley new way through that. and so it's almost like open a door into thinking well, and you're just a very interesting concept. the not only is a window into
8:47 pm
a world that you know, usually way not pause, but it's also kind of like a door and and just saying this is animals that have been successful for such a long time waiting long and then humans have and just kind of being and in some its presence is just so special the, it's almost mind blowing to think about the impact that we can have. we have such, it's a huge influence on the natural world itself. you know, i've seen on the planet for almost 3 decades today. and in my life time, we've seen an almost 71 percent decrease and the number of shocks across the world the majority of that is down to an over expectation from fishing. we are taking these ottomans iras news go system. and we offers and that decline. so the majority
8:48 pm
of oceanic shock species are threatened by extinction positives today of the iowa having lived all her life by the sea, diving beneath the waves as opened her eyes to this hidden weld from me. so many magical experience. and it's also kind of where i feel most myself when you're under the waves, as a kind of don't really get tell us to think about what else would have been kind of what's around you. the search and really, really mindful expo. busy the you don't have a new e mails coming in the background. you don't have a show in your back pocket. when you just kind of switch off from all of that life
8:49 pm
on lines and just become completely messed in this other world. the i've got to some of the times of my life by being in the ocean in a regular basis. it's so important to me the you know, there's a reason why people have been through to. busy that or being very difficult times auction, you seek out the whole thing for kind of physical and mental i'll sees are so worst protect them because we have habitats here that you don't find
8:50 pm
anywhere else in the world. we have habitats here, the huge kaufman stores the count for us. and so you know that not just be to full but not just and this re grounds for juvenile fish. they're actually also stone defenses. and they're also natural comp and stores. these are all things that can benefit us as well as, you know, just 7, a function within, within the marine, the, there's a lot for tests and a lot that needs to be done. but we can stop by just showing people how, how much there is and, and you know, what we, we actually started to start to lease the of the ecological restoration of a natural. well, it's a complex subject. has to be there to the future and
8:51 pm
restore what has been lost. we must continue to recognize the livelihood shad consent, facing communities by here and around the world. yet when we can find ways of working together, the outcome can often be as surprising as it is rewarding. the ground breaking project policy island england is living proof of how urban environments and the natural weld contrives together in 2008 fundings cross around project, excavated over $8000000.00 tons of us to make way for us new, underground valet deep beneath the capital. lacking in partnership with the royal society for the protection of buds,
8:52 pm
3000000 tons of the excavated a was relocated to help create an expensive coast to wetland the most innovative project of this type in northern europe. by raising the land above sea level, they created a new into title area, salt marsh islands and mud flats. covering 115, hacked us as well as a network of creeks, say line, the gains and large areas of grazing most land, which is managed by some phone tag. with rising sea levels threatening the case case 9. these specialized areas, not any provide slots protection that they have created, which fire device habitats benefits in place to wild life and the local community.
8:53 pm
the policy island is now home again to large populations of native to migrate, to reboot and has become a conservation area. internationally, complaints in the gulf and tens located in great numbers as to as a wintering, wages and wild file in the summer months, nesting bows like the opposite. once on the brink of extinction in the u. k. now the rise in this protects it haven. the kind of a ton is one of the most successful conservation storms in recent years.

an arbor fund in 9, no shops here, the desire to investigate sustainable reduction, met him to return to his funding rates. but this time it was at quick culture. so when people ask me what i do, i usually say, like pricing cymbalta. when a local muscle phone came up for sale and cool, james found himself with the coughing edge of sustainable foaming people talk about society. but it seems a bit of a kind of both words and, and kind of trying to get behind what, what the sustainable mean and for me it's, it's how do you produce this pricing that we will need, have a from that you can increase the size of it, you know, kind of, let's scale it so that you can produce more and more, but without having a negative effect on the environment, the
