illusion, one and 7 see she's now facing extinction. and many others in decline. the time has come to we address that problem. today the united kingdom is one of the most nature depleted countries on our planet. now is not the time to dispense as individuals and communities of hazing. the way towards right. each of the now is a time across these like the the on the aisle of miles scotland change is in the, the
2:18 pm
white tailed eagles, the case largest bed frame with a wing span of up to 8 feet. this magnificent bed was hunted to extinction in the u. k. in the 19th century was the time and victorians out shooting grouse. another game the time when sheet but being bought into the highlands and they didn't want any predators around. so why until he goes to the 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 a bit of the decades of hard work and dedication
2:19 pm
and that breeding david sexton and all those involved. it's been a nice long labor. as now the of to several found attempts. the reintroduction program gathered momentum in the 19 seventies and today that continued was because 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 room and said, taffeta and then released. and that was the beginning of it already. that sounds a little started with these well, but did not ask that piece. and then from end, despite to successful re introduction,
2:20 pm
it took 10 years until they saw the fast successful breeding attempt from a positive sentiments on i was lucky enough to be here in 1985 working for the r as p b. when that 1st check sledge, we were here was ness protection, people ready at that time it was always the wiring and risk of a collective. and it was a collect. does that probably finish the builds off a 100 years previously? and so it was amazing on a to be part of that bit of conservation history and 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. and that was the 1st check to fly in the u. k. skies for maybe 70 is. that was quite a moment. the. the descendants of that matriarchal ego still living on mount today. in 2021 was
2:21 pm
a record to you for 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 they you know, they come out of an egg. so that sort of size kind of a little bowl of down that would sit in time. or if you had, in 10 weeks, they've gone from that totally cloud, an eagles, the 8 foot wing span, which is just phenomenal dates of dress. and by the time they fly the nest, that's it. that's all the credit. and they that 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, but they get that amazing tail blown bright yellow beep and not beaming white tail
2:22 pm
malls. success story. and bringing these beds back from extinction shows that change can happen when individuals and communities come together. but even today, conservation conflicts remains a hot topic. one of the reasons why it to the was became extinct because of the does the conflict with livestock or if there's no denying that it goes up pregnancy bugs, golden eagle on white though the goals are going to take some labs each year. but what's going to follow now is, is the exaggeration and the claims of loss ease, uh, which go way beyond reality. that equals why to those in particular have now just become the number one thing to play, like, because of big scavengers. so they will come in and take something off the other predators and stopped in the process. and if they see something like that, going on show that they'll come in and intervene and take the land. it might
2:23 pm
already be dead, it might be very dead. but either way, just it's the equal look at see and get flamed, that 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 want to stand it from the farm is in the customer's point of view because the animals of their livelihood a lot like science design ways through that to find ways of accommodating these bugs back in our lives. and normally so ways that we know that they respond to things like diversity feeding you and you have to put out some alternative suits. so small, everything happened to be missed and they're learning taught like 3 or 4 fish
2:24 pm
a day. and they will take that and leave everything else alone. but what is happening more and more now is actually a change in the landscape and the change in the way land is manage. the people are wanting to be more about because logical restoration. and that's their main focus. it's not about the stalking bounce shooting sheets, ami a welcome white to deals like dental them. so there's a definite new era approaching the despite misconceptions. white towed, eagles, shining post and phone keeping other predators of pay, maintaining balance within the food chain. and for an isolated island community like mo, these magnificent birds, who so generate surprising economic benefit. bringing in as much as $5000000.00
2:25 pm
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 watson to, to season people up for the tiers. and sometimes when they see an eagle in its natural habitat soaring in the sky. and that has 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 associate on a holiday here to fill this mess it the something across the loved ones with the
2:26 pm
prize speech to the whole let out from it 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 for the protection of the finally, the coming the mel protection officer in 2003 job. he's still family committed to today. one of the things like gives me most pleasure at the moment, is the fact that we're now able to do for england, but no way did for us back in the seventy's. you know, they had a thriving population of lots of egos and they donated a couple of 100 birds over the 3 releases. now because animals are doing so well, we're helping projects who are releasing went to the eagles on the out of white. so now there are numbers of white vehicles already soaring over the south and west coast of india meal. so surprised for me that all is able to be part of that
2:27 pm
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. at the end of the day, it's what most people want in their lives. you want a rich bottles of us countryside the i still get a huge kick out of watching these beds and i do it. so how's a week? you know, it's part of the job. i need to know where they are and what they're doing and that they're secure, stopped. i would also just do it because i loved doing it the i came having the right good friend back in the eighty's. he's now passed away. but
2:28 pm
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 are part of that connection. my daughter's like growing up on mount eagles and part of their lives. sort of the whole connection. so the, this is why unto davis my life he's expectedly, intertwine, and con, separate to sorry, yeah. the and then the and sometimes we can look to native a help in more ways than one might imagine the
2:29 pm
around the world news is extreme toombs that come in common place 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 the raising visa. these semi aquatic novels 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 finding trees and building dams, they can improve the quality of rivers. slowing down, cleaning and storing water. and these newly formed river habitats
2:30 pm
attracted 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 the st. guns spots successful attempts to bring them back in the wild have led to the fest been b for the introduction program in plymouth. lead and supported by progressive thinking council. the 6 heck to re walls. enclosure is that in an ancient with the natures of surrounded by local housing states. when you're inside the enclosure, it doesn't fill out your entire toilet, feels pretty wireless. it's basically a large community of nature's, of why with a wild life can link up trying to create a more diverse of the top and for the locals and just nature and general type
2:31 pm
estimate. again, walking 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, obviously, 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, unpractical. about 3 years ago, we still applies together and so could we really see it as a a logistics a was very difficult, but i think from most of passion 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 that passion and dedication page in november 2020 alone male pizza was introduced into especially bells,
2:32 pm
enclosure the fast to inhabit the valley in over 400 years. few months they said 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's or just hooked up with what she wants to do and she'll snatch 6 off and she brought down the tracy belt, the majority of the, of the down. so she saw of the ring leader and he's just lot, all those around everywhere. you raising fevers. can way up to 38 kilograms, and a substantially larger than badges. well there they will comes in the
2:33 pm
far to feed on land. they have a water pre flare that eyes and a rather like tell for swimming, which makes them better suited to life. and that will, to there's a common misconception that they really fish, but they don't eat fish that completely. i've ever us so they basically will strip the bulk of the tray and lead thanks. i think old account being byron today, 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, that late funds and brock and you know, everything that you might find that will, that will feed on it piece is past life. and the recent arrivals attracted a lot of interest from both young and old,
2:34 pm
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 of it just just barely. and i think that is 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 a whole rid of the system. you can change the whole area of trees just from one animal, that's the channels and building dams and things. so 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 that, you know, you might get a few people coming down and keep breaking in and doing things that they shouldn't be there. and so it's something that we took on boards,
2:35 pm
that's why i've got the cameras out keeping an eye on it. we've got the ranking and be the patrols pieces allows the not tunnel, which means the camera traps that joe sets can observe. the nighttime activities as well as monitoring the welfare around the clock for a time to just follow where that feet and signs also for something interested in a new, a new tree, they started nor, you know, obviously when they started building the dom, i'm one is be the stakes that turn up in a new location and i'll try them to somebody about getting uncovered. a lot of good for is that i got, luckily, was just for yourself, thinking not going beaver and trying to anticipate why they've got a chance. can already see a difference in the landscape of to only a few months of the spring away with the baby is one of the main names was to potentially show that flooding can be reduced from that behaviors. if you imagine you've got to move to costs,
2:36 pm
that actually is the same all the way through in all cases and 600 meters at the same topography of water. and then they've not put them in front of it. you know, half of really fast area of water comes and they slows right down. when you stand back and look at both channels, you can see it. and notice the difference between the channel that may have affected in the generally having the faxes the has to be was installed more times than slight, was having the channel flat. and it will, it can be sold. should show that in a big storm event, that those big dams should bounce all or to reduce the amount that flows through the side downstream. yet sometimes the johnny to a while the plan it can take longer than expected. and then a crew twist of fate. a story took a very different time when a severe storm hit assessing,
2:37 pm
the torrential rain cause substantial damage to the enclosure. and those fevers escape 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 to flow for to and the outcome could have been sorry. different jo and the team remain 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 future. the with a facing bag as it would be for the, the visit proved from other or thirty's were to follow seats in areas at risk of
2:38 pm
floating around the weld of the restoring nature, back to its original state is as intuitive as a land base concept. yes, it's the oceans in which to life when asked depend the, the, you can islands comprise over 6000 islands and the war to surrounding these coastal communities for many volumes. and i don't, i the hudson is a reset scientists and the roots is around the west coast of scotland and have past
2:39 pm
the state of the hebrides is basically one of the most amazing places that we have not only in the u. k, but in europe is huge. they seem to me by a diverse place. and the reason is, is because of the topography, so around and you get lots and lots of findings. channels right next, the very shallow areas, the comfortable thing is extremely nature rich. and so when that comes up to the surface in certain areas around the world that's causing the trains of falling. so that brings he's looking nutrients back up to the surface and the ax almost like kind of like a effect. why is it does and on cultural land around the sea of properties, ok see change. so i basic is life and it's just a really, really special thing. the
2:40 pm
feasible which 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 jenny fish displaying this, trying to set something magical sequence of events, attracting other creatures to come and feed. so you get fish like micro hiring, sprout sun deals, sun hills are actually the lifeline. if the hebrides, if you like, there really fast, which makes and that brings all the savers elicitation. so the whales and dolphins and then also brings the species i went through exclusively the asking. so the reaching is a 40 feet and then it is the 2nd largest show can the ocean and they migrate to
2:41 pm
these shoes every year. making this area, one of the world's biggest hotspots, the speeding on this evening, and they felt up to 2000 tons of c o 2, an hour, 3 that goes out seem 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. that's pretty easy to find that right at the surface, the very slow moving. and so it's very, very easy to use to helping skins up. it's liver, it contains an oil field, squalling oil. back in the day that used to be used as an energy source oil long specifically. thankfully the hunting of the shocks was found in the u. k. in the 19
2:42 pm
ninety's, iowa thinks that the current population is still recovering from that expectation. so the shocks a likely very, very long lived, so it takes them a long time to grow, to reach their actual max and size spending. a small percentage of that time at the surface means that we still know very little about these elusive animals. much of value framing, the depths remains a mystery. even to those who study these magnificent giants of the sea, we know that the basking shot comes back to walter's every summer. and we know they come back up to the surface to feed on the points, and then we know that they go back down the dates and you know, that kind of line great poses 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.
2:43 pm
we've never signed the nice thing. no one's actually ever seen about special or given birth in the wild. i'm only just starting to scratch the surface of what the boston talks. life is outside of the time that it comes back to us as well as to feed. the understanding that breeding habits to migrate to repass ins could be key to protecting them from the invisible changes of climate change. for me, sees to please read food 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 assignment oil machine. so all of the cocks have to be turning for the next part of the machine to work. and so when you see the boston shocks and you see, you know,
2:44 pm
large populations of in laws obligations that means that this is that it symbolizes the housing process. and if the shops on there 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 see if have produced. the boss can shocks that normally return year on year. almost nowhere to be seen. there is no definitive explanation as to why this has happened. but it's a pointing reminder how fragile these habitats truly all. as i lead over given a pipe, a cnn, a team called lucky. on the late tool this afternoon, they caught sight of abbas ski shock and had one of the few encounters in the region that yeah, the
2:45 pm
2:46 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 you 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 is flat and quiet the surface st. valley new way through that. and so it's almost like open the door into it and thinking well, and you're just the very types of homes that the not only is a window into a world that you know, usually why not pause, but it's also kind of like a door and you just save these, these animals that have been successful for such
2:47 pm
a long time waiting longer than 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 impacts that we can have. we have such a huge influence on the natural itself. you know, i've been on the planet for almost 3 decades. so in my life time, we've seen an almost 71 percent decrease in the number of shocks across the world. the majority of that is down to over expectation from fishing. we all taking these animals. i was named our system and we offers and that decline. so the majority of oceanic shock species are threatened by extinction positives today,
2:48 pm
i love having lived all her life by the sea, diving beneath the waves has opened her eyes to this hidden wild from me so many logical experience. and it's also kind of where i feel most myself, the, 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 the. so it's really, really mindful experience the you don't have, you know, emails coming in the background. you don't have a showing in your back pocket. or you just kind of switch off from all of that life online and just become completely messed in this other world. the
2:49 pm
i've got to some of the hardest times in my life by being in the ocean in the regular basis. it's so important to me the, you know, there's a reason why people have been through. busy that or being very difficult times auction, you know, see, comfortable saying fair kind of physical and mental policies are so words protect them because we have habitats here that you don't find anywhere else in the world. we have habitats here. the huge comp and store is the count for us. and so of you know, that not just beautiful, but not just in this,
2:50 pm
regardless of juvenile fish, they're actually also stoned defensive, and they're also natural comp installs. these are all things that can benefit us, as well as, you know, just 7, a function within, within the marine, the, as a lots protects 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 me, or we actually starting to start to lease the a logical restoration of a natural. well, it's a complex subject. has to be there to the future and restore what has been lost. we must continue to recognize the livelihood shad
