photo was lost, your cell phone? i yes, 3 reasons why. 1115. we are here to help you make up your mind. we are here on please find your mind. so the topics i'm much up to you for couple fixed a new culture and entertainment. let's say together, nicholas talks about community life on the surface of this research is now on the we often forget that this planet does not belong just to us. it is also shared by magnificent creatures as the planets belongs to them as much as industrial. hello and welcome. i am sorry to cut the body annual watching equal in depth. and while

these creatures have had a bus, the largest to live, but also try the non natural environment, we have made their lives living. and this episode is all about those people who are trying to change this and help see i biodiversity ok. imagine this, it's late june and july. it's a warm evening and light as dusk steps and you'll see tiny spect so flight in the as close to the trees. but nothing to worry. this just means that fireflies have entered project. but did you know that fireflies are close to extinction because of habitats loss best to size and artificial light? well, as a community, i try we community in the rest and state of my head astra. which is trying to do something to help save these fireflies and work on their phones of these. or the say you are there is that an imposing mountain region west and india as douglas

falls over them, a very special light comes on the bio luminous and lights of the fireflies. while a female is slight to some weights on the ground, male fly around lighting up the sky and looking for that perfect meet the one man who is very invested in this phenomenon is almost button. and then to monitor just the fire flavor. basically the beatles. ok, a little bit out of color flavors that actually beat those that a few just on this planet who communicate with the light signal. so firefly that a one of the this natural phenomenon has done into a popular tourist attraction. organize mostly at camp sites. firefly festivals have been drawing, taurus and hordes. one festival and the other tribal village of bush bodies stands out. it is a lead entirely by the brutal community that organizes expeditions for urban

travelers. the villages with residents work as local guides who shared that experiences with fireflies. so i guess not the kind of the list that they, i mean that we did the door is the spots, but they can be seen in abundance. it could have but they tell them about what scenes they like to sit on. how often they come out and why the glue in the night need to cut some of the food and i me, uh no, but it there goodness on it. uh well, this child community firefly tourism has done into a unique livelihood opportunity right in the backyard. more than a 100 families take part in hosting tourist showing them what router life is like, including to traditional means. each family owns it on $3000.00 rupees or $33.00 euros a month. but this is a red case of lucas benefiting as well as

a gentle form of tourism. normally, 5 like festivals in my head, i started cause for concern among why life was the firefly, 51 of a lot of going to have of that. but i believe in the view of taking good photos, they need to be made aware of that. what you see on the plan, you're gonna need to mean when you walk and you have the plan for the feeling of female, which is walking down below. you know, below your feet. people should not be allowed to go near that 3 because the communication will be disappeared apart from that. the female or a really good kid. so if they're cute, the, you know, make them arisen with them for cut into the over 20 different firefly festivals organized by various to operate those across my roster. but they differ from this one. doris i lot to offers of loud music bodies every night. barbecue isn't count. files sounded light pollution from these activities are among the biggest threats to fireflies which need darkness to survive by basically calling to just on

spend a good has been fighting against us so far with had from the forest department. he has identified festivals that cause a disturbance and has managed to put a stop to some of the commercial activities. unfortunately, i'd be very harsh to see that the monthly total groups who are taking people firefly for students have 0 understanding of fireplace. they don't know the species, they gives the heater information, they just go to see that. and then they have the thing lights, which i put out. and this is part of that system. that is, you know, that's not going very far. a lack of studies and knowledge about fireflies have already led to a significant decline habitat loss due to oven development. pesticides and vehicles of traffic have also contributed. and this has left a big impact on more species than just fireflies. fireplaces are basically

predatory in nature. there are 100. ringback that in this small but a very important condos in the forest. so they control is the population of the car, doors that control the population of many other, you know, me, flies and get his flies and several other insects which can become best levels. so they had ruled as best control, is very, very large. so any number of, of drop in the number of fireflies can have a direct impact on the forest with their livelihoods closely, intertwined with the beads and species. the butterfly, the community tells us they are overcautious about the barrels of commercialization doors here. i mean to, to the line, including with fools, like no use a flashlight, a new overcrowding, they put it there that done it. they've been some doris even tried to catch the fireflies some but we don't allow them to do that. um folk are nice fireflies, a dining and fragile and will immediately die if you catch them. you know, we educate the daughters that the seas will be does with a short life span. and the beauty of nature is best enjoyed by watching mobile

events as the light of the firefly. not only symbolizes its own health, but that of the forest. the local community and the entire ecosystem would stick the regulations and more conscious stores of the fireflies light can know for a long time to come. busy or how would you feel if someone gap charge you for 2 inside a cage and sold you off against filled with sounds pretty hardly, right? well, this is something that is frequently done to exotic, unprotected animals cross the border, illegal animal smuggling is the g o t w w. f estimates that'd be in the good vital life trade business is a 10000000000 dollar business and it is on the rise. her heart is still in the wild, but now can you live within an enclosure? spanish animal shelter near a country. the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old,

which he has suffered greatly. caregiver belly die is nursing her back to health, a queen outside although the she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her the government, she must have been poorly fed from the start. and she's even gone blind to the private breeder now has to face the authorities for violating the convention on international trade in endangered species. the east asian founded leopards is also an endangered species. so can you, is a rarity. spain has become a gateway for a legally traded exotic species. the police often find them when inspect the ships arriving in a country or from the nearby continent of africa. maria pay us their works for a special environmental crime unit. passenger luggage here that the airports. she's

found birds, snakes, and tortoises for another like it's so sad. left side topic will be so ruthless, people have no chromes about tearing these animals from their habitat. told them no, not in treating them like twice when see that i'm my being forwarded to this police . video from september 2021 shows the liberation of a female chimpanzee who would be alone in a cage for 5 years. the illegal imports of protected animals are rising in 2022 smuggling into spain increased by more than half compared to the previous year. a full service and 3 minutes. total organized criminals are often behind it up to notify ability. think of something that you need contacts and the country of origin to find the animals

in it, and you need a network in europe to import them and they will seal this is a highly profitable business being taken care of. but if a monkey, for example, it might cost $5.00 or 6 zeros in africa, and here it can fetch 2000 euros or more e mailed or include so much according to the world wildlife fund, this global business is worth billions. so if you d as says the illegal animal trades comes a 3rd after drugs and weapons, but it's impact is underestimated. or she didn't even go to adams. i'm going to go to as arms trafficking and drug smuggling, or taken more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement twilio on illegal animal trafficking is just a serious, but it isn't seen a search. it's not pursued and prosecuted as often that makes these crimes even more lucrative. we look at this for the 30s are often overwhelmed and the fight

against the exotic animal trade. this would cost, for instance, was probably traffic from morocco to spain. but the smugglers were able to cover the trucks. well the cell, i know i tend to look for yeah, the dealers are using new technologies, selling the animals on the internet on it. i say, well that service they avoid detection because they can hide behind anonymous network. so for the known, you, my bookkeeper, they know for a fella, they even use the dark web guard what the authorities don't have enough specialists to investigate properly. and animals are often rescued when it's too late. as we can you the collaborative leverage the music that they lost, the yellow she used to use to people and she's blind in the wild. she would never be able to deal with her own species. said that she was raised in captivity. so

she's condemned to a life in captivity and go through a list of so either this illegal trade mix can you and many other wild animals like current products that lose their freedom forever. the it is just sad. what can we do to want to move despite every thing that to do for us? well, guess who was a farm was best friend, steining little ones and beyond? they should be visa williams can do magic's to the such entity and the productivity of the site. and then also key to maintaining the biodiversity under the ground. don't be scared of work for all of us. so i need to be held. the 3rd forms all really necessary. azako deed in a form of from the village and audio is making natural fertilizer using these 2

months. and what is that the about the, you know, what's i, oh, not a bit of gone that, that a lot of families around our village. so i wanted to do some things related to agriculture. i also have some line, i can source visual materials from that. so i thought i would do is let me con post . i got this idea from my father was also a farmer. and he was to do a lot of vegetate before me. another guy did it, but he only used me from forced for his crops and it produced good use. i learned to stick me from the goddess. is it? so i'm up on the more the a lot of the now the only difficult thing, but the technique is very simple for us to prepare to combust bed and put got done on it. man, a for a low on the, the have to submit it on over. i'm been put renata leaves on don't want to keep it then push it down. we've been working to it for 15 days and it becomes soft like a button, which is how the rooms prefer to eat and let it, not all this oper. the governments of provides of dark space only then to let them

come up and eat. they diagnosed the organic ways and outcomes, the fertilizer $14.00 on the market. there are 2 types of both worlds. native lands, an african one addict of the going by the number i'll pick them to to doing is what we use. are the optic an odd funds because the native months, not only the sort of the most oper oper to know what to do, but the after 218 more things and give us a better use? some of them, they also multiply very far. you know, i'm, i guess not, they can modify the optic or the either one the longer just wanted to boost the codes from reproduction. the also a geography to the go down and put it in the bit. these are old natural methods are used to fertilize the solvent, the not 11 the the academy. we typically stop getting to use in $45.00 to $90.00 days, or that's what we think it's on the top and save it to remove any small rocks or 2

weeks on the well. then we package it into individual bods of 10 by 25 or 50 kilo's . what if i waive them? i'm finally deliver them to our customers on the positive is to get all the possible risk on. if we do on get to know if this going on a good deed and has to become a successful entrepreneur in audio little small city and coming onto lately, she has also started teaching them in the fund, moves in the area about how to raise alarms and produce, let me come, falls to using the fields so far in human farm is from the surrounding villages have benefited from an initiative and the years ago and i might as well do, you don't at home, but she told me to do will make on posting since i have some land and resources. when she gets orders from customers, she says she will buy the ford light bill from us and sell it to them. we used to use chemical for the night of those, but now we have switched to will make on post because of that the ground next step

because the way that these the, and the shoots out onto big and they use a met the, the is integral out of the thing, and i'm also the one that most of my orders come from people who have dentist gardens and people who own body fees because they mostly live in bangalore, engine light. but i also shift on places in time and not the government, the full of a low, kind of predict that since you started a business in 2019 for sales have increased the study. she sense of where the lives of will have the practice of becoming an old entity in the homeless mother. i'm very happy to be doing this business. i have started a small thing and brought it to so many be a lot of i'm going to be said that a call being identical from national, reviving the simple traditional method for fertilizing metric a saga dealer and has adult when you become a non dependent with a work she's also protecting the in one

in the beautiful city of naples, what once was a prizing business is now in danger. i am talking about red corner. this beautiful species is on the track because of several impressions among them on a rising sea temperatures. what a pollution several home for pushing methods. i'm the biggest to for in the the lead off of that. gordon's, like saving these is extremely cool. should naples in southern italy for centuries, the region has been famous for corals under the shadow of mount vesuvius lies totally del good. i quote, the unofficial capital of the global coral trade local business leaders are upbeat, read coral jewelry is once again in demand. international fashion and jewelry. brands are flocking to totally del, could echo local onto putting your money at a c. monet believes this success has helped by

a serious commitment to conservation. she says her business strictly follows environmental protection rules. she's aware of the legal coral trade, but says that's a different world. if you have a name, you have a story you have uh uh, something to defend and uh you don't do this things that are manufacturers. i mean, also has more, which has a name as respectful name, and i'm sure they don't, they have enough things to do with these the but eventually we find a merchant who's willing to discuss the darker side of the coral trade maple contralto says the atmosphere is something akin to a gold rush, he says, although authorities are keeping a closer eye on the problem, smugglers continue finding new routes. i see something of a very cold i'll do for because a day like to um,

let the boss of the woods goods, the car from spain as the needs of as soft to con 3 and so base pain of files and then coming any needs any day finding another way, we had to the other side of the mediterranean sea, where into barca onto nice as northern mediterranean coast. for centuries, everything here revolved around precious coral. but unlike in italy, business, the slow local residents tell us 90 percent of the shops of closed because there's no more coral available was a what am i stuck on? what at some point that would probably be no more or a left at all heavy and people die out more. that shortage already makes it unaffordable for people here. and they need to have no money. who can afford top polity, coral jewelry, that may be artists or business people them? that's it for years sullen boudreau we worked as a carl diver, he insists he always stuck to the rules,

but now he's grown too old for the job and allows other divers to use his boat. instead. left fisher was a lot of legal fishing going on, and that creates huge problems for us because at this roys or carlos stocks and the entire seabed, me to the fault, my house, if 10 kilos of carl or growing on a rock illegal fishing methods will destroy all the habitats around it. yeah, because you know, the height is on drop as you know, he lives up the carl is last the only one kilo ends up being costs. so almost to answer the phone. he says, the coral is smuggled by a tanisha incense all over the world. demand in southern europe and asia is especially high. he says it's hard for us already is to verify the corals origins. the coast guard regularly conduct searches of boats at the small port of to barca. 3 years ago they uncovered a network of smugglers from algeria, tanisha and spain,

whose global trade and coral was worth millions of bureaus. a hustler, an honest one, is the consumer. they often store the goods in the city, it'd be that with a capital tune as possible. then they tried to explore it, not for the classic route as to italy. deputy been witness, but could be that. from there, the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india some moments, but then as he thought he led him in many asian countries, the underwater species are said to have health benefits and even supernatural powers. criminal networks go to great lengths to cash in on the precious corals which often leave hundreds of meters below the surface. jewelry artisan more odd or folly is convinced that all the problems plaguing the coral stem from one thing, humans and their great you and how to wish and thought of that will just like many other species are carlos are dying because we no longer give them time about time

to grow and develop, the simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans anymore. so mickey, i think it was she was you in the seattle backend toner, delicate echo. the problems of the north african traders seem far away. even still, many are realizing if they don't take action to combat the legal trade, the carl stocks could run out forever. from the cost of a key. let's head back to him. do you remember that story of the doctor and the rabbit? the doctor one that's nice, but it was only able to participate in that race in the 1st place because it wasn't extinct. that's right. feet that those are on the edge of extinction. and us humans are responsible for that much lucky for us and for that environment. some fishermen are trying to things of the see touch of unfortunate them back into the sea where they belong. these feet are too hot, springs have

a good chance of surviving etc. pods and lodge bought the 10 a residential present hot, any nearly full 100 fishermen. that's what on a task force along 700 kilometers of the east coast. all my government, the dinosaur defeated land. daughters have been living in this war since the dinosaurs are within the last 50 years, they have come close to extinction. when we 1st started doing to those guns, evasion worked, and we told people about it, they said, why should we save them? because there is a superstition that sees those bring bad luck or the info, the background or be man. but you disregard such notions. oliver ladaja is considered one of the booth because they often get caught in fishing, you discarded near the cost. when i'll make a run, this will tell you the somebody during nesting season, every female returns to me eggs on the same beat it has to go under though i did cut on gotta get to every yard 150 to 200 daughters died just between tonight and

the 10 gonna beat area. so you can calculate how many daughters must have died in the last 20 years since we started working janette and the public and my tell you on the porch ending accomplish funny clothes. ready the nesting season is from december to april. during this time, members of the task force patrol beach is to collect eggs that as of late, they protect the eggs in fenn videos and when the hatch to ensure the baby daughters make it through the ocean. avoiding stray dogs and other creditors in the when they came and asked me if i could join to see the production unit. i don't know yet sort of, but i've never done anything to show my gratitude to the ocean as, as ended in that for sure, folk are also being sensitized on how to reduce the harm to daughters. by modifying the nets, they collect up discarded nets to,

instead of letting them drift into the ocean. i wonder, what am i doing now in that area? i mean, thinking about it on the fisherman. how do you know, i'll put you on catching lots of fish has always been my going either one. but that happened. this can never compare to the happiness for protecting and releasing the sea turtles into the ocean. because here we are saving lives on the arrive at a, in a good at in a window of the we've got bought them together. they have collected almost 60000 kilograms of gross nets and don't done to stop any time soon. i is the best to matthew who would imagine what still i do as much as these animals do for us and our planet we could do with a little more kindness towards them. be a little nicer and not only to from these lovely people that'd be met to on today's episode. so we can do our budget for our biodiversity. but if you will let me know what did you like most about today's episode?

and what would you like to see more roles? you can email us or reach out to me directly on my twitter. i will see you next week. do come back until then. dick is good bye. almost gosh. the,
