it's almost every place of being you do in the country like to keep taking on the powers that be the risk. every thing john needs active as journalists and politicians living in exile the way to which they move for their mission. what drives them. people need to know what is happening that our series guardians of truth watch. now, on youtube, d. w documentary 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 why these creatures have had a bus well just to live, but also try the non natural environment. we have made their lives living here. 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 specks of light 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, does a community 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 yeah, there is an imposing mountain region west and india as douglas falls over them. a

very special light comes on. the bio luminous 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 pulse like meet the one man who is very invested in this phenomenon is a more but fun time 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 either one of the to this natural phenomenon has done it to 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 body stands out. it is led 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 may take got 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 big bought in hosting taurus are showing them what router life is like, including 2 traditional means. each family owns it on $3000.00 rupees or $33.00 euros a month. but this is a red case of locals benefiting as well as

a gentle form of tourism. normally, 5 by festivals in my head, extra our cause for concern among why life was as the 5 slaves 50 will of a lot are going to have of that back. the buddhist, in the view of taking good photos, they need to be made aware of that. what you see on the plan is only the 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 to that 3 because the communication will be disappeared apart from that. the female or a really good kid. so if they have to the, you know, make them arisen with them for got into the over 20 different firefly festivals. organized by various to operators across my roster, but they differ from this one. doris i lot to offers of loud music bodies every night. barbecue is and camp fires. sound and 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 we've 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 tourism operator 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 glittering lights, which i put out. and this is why i thought just that is, you know, that's not going to be fine. 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 that 100. ringback that in this small but a very important condos in the forest. so they control is the population of the guy, the control of a petition 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 british body community tells us they are overcautious about the federals of commercialization doors here, i made it to the line, including which fools like no use a flashlight, a no overcrowding much. they put it there, get that done. if they've been some, doris even tried to catch the fireflies, but we don't allow them to do that. um for garden, these fireflies the dining and fragile and will immediately die if you catch them. you know,

we educate the daughters that the seas will be deals with the shop lights when i and the beauty of nature is best enjoyed by watching mobile event as the light of the firefly not only symbolizes its own health, but that of the far as the local community and the entire ecosystem would stick the regulations and move on to stores of the fireflies light can know for a long time to come the or how would you feel if someone captured you? i'm for 2 inside a cage. i'm for you off against filled with sounds pretty hardly. right. well, this is something that is frequently done to exotic, unprotected animals cross the border illegally. animal smuggling is the g o t w w. f. estimates that'd be in the good vital life trade business is a $10000000000.00 business and it is on the rise. her heart is still in the wild with no. can you live as an enclosure in

a spanish animal shelter near a country? the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old, which he has suffered greatly. caregiver billy die is nursing her back to health. queen goes out of a good hello. she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her. so that means she must have been poorly fed from the start of my life and she's even gone blind. 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 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 problems about tearing these animals from their habitat. no, not in treating them like toys, say that i'm not 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. full service and the minnesota, the organized criminals are often behind it 2005. they already think of some of the

things you need contacts in 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, vincent k. but as a monkey, for example, it might cost $5.00 or 6 years in africa, and here it can fetch 2000 bureaus or more. and there we go. include so much. according to the world wildlife fund, fiscal oval business is worth a billions. sophia says the illegal animal trades comes a 3rd after drugs and weapons, but it's impact is under estimated 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 doesn't seem to such, it's not pursued and prosecuted as often that makes these crimes even more lucrative for the 30s are often overwhelmed and the fight against the

exotic animal tried. this with cock, for instance, was probably trafficked from morocco to spain, but the smugglers were able to cover the trucks. well, they sell out and 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 fella, they even use the dark web guard with 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 business 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,

saying she was raised in captivity. so she's condemned to a life in captivity and go to the other so. so with this illegal trade makes, 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 everything that the do for us? well guess who was a former best friend steining to to um 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 us. so i need to be held. the 3rd forms are really necessary . azako deed, in a farm up from the village in audio. lou isn't making natural for the light the

using these are the months and what is that? the about the, you know, what's i, oh, not a bit of gone that there are 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 of 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, he's i loading this, taken it 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 go down on it. man, a for a low on the, they have to submit it on over and then put renata leaves on. don't want to keep the temperature down. we've been wanting to add for 15 days and it becomes soft like a button which is how the rooms prefer to eat a muddy and allow this operable. the governor also provides the doc springs for the

dental lunch, come up and eat, does the organic ways and outcomes the fertilizer one for on the market. there are 2 types of both worlds. native lands and african one addict of the group are the number i'll pick them up today is what we use are the optic an odd phones 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 model from 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 for the lives of the sa, but the not 11 the the academy. we typically stop getting to use in 45 to 90 days.

so 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 $25.00 or 50 kilo's. what if i waive them? i'm finally deliver them to our customers on a positive as to 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. so if you can tell me not do lately, she has also started teaching them in the fund, moves in the area about how to raise the mountains and produce, let me come, falls to using their fields. so far in human farm is from the surrounding villages have benefited from her initiative and the years ago and i might as well do, you don't at home, but she told me to do, let me composting 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 be and the shoots out onto big and they use a met. the cause is anika letter or this level of 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 bundled engine light. but i also ship all 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 them going to be said that a call being identical from national, reviving the simple traditional method for fertilizing metric. a saga, these aren't as 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 are a rising sea temperatures, water pollution, several home for pushing methods and the biggest to for in the, the trade off of that. gordon's, like saving these is extremely crucial. naples in southern italy, for centuries, the region has been famous for corals under the shadow of mount vesuvius lies totally del good. i co, 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 taught a delicate echo local onto putting your money at ac. monee 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 manufacturer is, 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 people. eventually we find a merchant who's willing to discuss the darker side of the coral trade. me cool, catallo 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 let the boss of the woods goods, the car from spain is the needs of the south to country. and so they spin the 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. let's say what am i stuck on? what at some point they will probably be no more or a left at all heading. 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, total 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. yeah, the left bishop was a lot of legal fishing going on, and that creates huge problems for us because at this roys or carlos stocks on the entire sea, but to me to the fault. my god, if 10 kilos of karl are growing on a rock, illegal fishing methods will destroy all the habitats around it is kept press good to go high. is on drop as you know, he loads up the carl is lost. the only one kilo ends up being costs, so it's almost to answer the phone. he says the coral is smuggled by a tanisha and sent all over the world demand in southern europe and asia is especially high. he says it's hard for a forty's to verify the corals origins. the coast guard regularly conduct searches of folks 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. my husband and i just wanted stuff as soon as they awesome store the goods and the city a be that with a capital tunas. awesome. and then they try to exported not the classic route is to italy, deputy been witness by computer. from there, the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india, somewhere minutes. but then as you thought, the him in many asian countries, the underwater species are set to have health benefits and even supernatural powers . criminal networks go to great lengths to cassie and on the precious corals, which often live hundreds of meters below the surface. jewelry artisan more odd are folly, is convinced that all the problems, placing the coral stem from one thing, humans and their greet you and how to wish and thought of that will just like many

other species or corals are dying because we no longer give them time time to grow and develop a simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans anymore that make you i think it was you in the seattle backend. totally. a 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 illegal trade, the carl stocks could run out forever. from the cost of a key, let's head back to window. you remember that story of the daughter 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. see doctors are on the edge of extinction and us humans are responsible for that. but lucky for us and for that environment, some fishermen are trying to conserve the c tacos and push them back into the sea where they belong. these feet or 2 hot springs have

a good chance of surviving etc. pants and lodge bought for 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. but in the last 50 years, they have come close to extinction. when we 1st started doing to those guns ovation worked and we told people about it, they said, why should we save them? because there is a superstition that save those bring bad luck or the info the background or been but you disregard such notions. oliver ladaja is considered wonderful because they often get caught and fishing. you just got it near the cost. when i'll make a run, this will say the summer, during nesting season, every female returns to made eggs on the same beat. it has to go under though i did

cut out and got to get to the yard $150.00 to $200.00 daughters died just between tonight and the 10 getting paid area. so you can calculate how many daughters must have died in the last 20 years since we started working janette and the porch ending accomplish 1 o'clock. ready the listing season is from december to april. during this time, members of the task force patrol beach is to collect eggs that those of lead. they protect the eggs in fins, areas and when the hatch to ensure the baby daughters make it to the ocean. avoiding stray dogs and other creditors in the when they came and asked me if i could join to see, to do production unit. i don't know yet sort of, but i've never done anything to show my gratitude to the ocean being as, as i knew them, that for sure folk are also being sensitized on how to reduce the palm to daughters by modifying them. that's the collect up discarded. let's do,

instead of letting them drift into the ocean i wonder what amino i'm now in the navy. i mean, what are you more that i'm a fisherman kitchens or sufficient sort of? it's been my going either one that happened this can never compared to the happiness, but protecting and releasing b. c turtles into the ocean. because here we are saving lives on the arrive at a, in a good at the end of my one daughter. we've got both of them together. they have collected almost 60000 kilograms of goes and it's and don't done to stop any time soon. i is the best to matthew who would imagine what still i'll do as much as these animals do for us and our planet we could do with a little more kind mister woods, them be a little nicer and not only 2 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
