to music off the pedestal and into tiny house. really cool gas, deep conversations around the kitchen table and the loss of the music box. isn't that interesting because tiny house, because it does depend the 2nd d, w, the the way we behave to is all the other forms of life. and these planets is crucial for our own survival. welcome to equal africa, and especially addition, every species counts. by the way, this also means us human am sandra co homes between nobody right here income follow uganda. and i'm crystal lamps in the area. what video falls do not understand is

that ever seen in nature is connected with everything else. ever plant every animals place. it's ruled in a group ecosystem, offer us what those documents. let me explain. pricing margin live, one of the tall of building blocks. and it's blocks. it's a specie of animals plus phone guy bucks, area author leaving, then the paint on each other to keep the whole structure strong. a stable, what's human activities? this causing the loss of many speeches as we use up in most space and resources of the building blocks remove the call, gets weaker and weaker, puts into wholesale all, well, as we know, it will collapse. fortunately, it hasn't come to vats yet. what we already know to st changes around us when the rough fuel is fixed because the host plants can no longer grow,

then the birds please. that's a rule that eat bees. insect also start disappearing, and humans move close to areas. but all the traditional habits of other animals, there is potential of a complex. i example from south africa shows which surprises and results. a local resident is that phased by the traffic whizzing parts. no. all the other big ones here in the suburb of cape top, acute as it is to see them roaming around, very exposed to a lot of changes here, of to a number of points were killed so badly injured by cost. wanted to started a traffic coming project. i think that is the biggest one is knowing that you, when you manage to do a crossing and there's the nurse fatality you injury has is always a one um and even though it's very incremental that has been progressiveness in terms of car existence inside massage the boons can be rather mis tvs regularly damaging property in this search for food. that's why some have

called to the animals to be removed or use a nice salmon. stone resident has found that a drill some industrial strength where be and sturdy clips provides a kind of solution. we stumbled across the video and youtube of what they do in canada. and it was basically that. and we thought, well, if it can work for the bays in canada, it shows how can we for the beans in simon's tom? the method has proved successful as the ctv footage shows. several restaurants in simon's stone have chosen a prevention strategy closer to the source of the problem. organic waste is no longer mixed with other tracts. now it's collected in special bins, but i sit in this acute pace for late to pick up. there's not

much food in there anymore for them, which means that they hit the lock less and they've decided obviously to go elsewhere to go look for food. so the boons have visited town a lot less regularly in terms of looking for food in my documents and a lot of the other restaurants stuff means 2. studies have shown that the balloons are considered one of the most difficult animals for humans to co exist with the bone of human conflict is an issue in several countries in africa, including symbol way, what's one? and if you get the conflict, not only cause of stress, it also carries health risk brings coming into your ribbon area and getting into people's houses as well as they've been. there's potential for transmission of disease across the 2 space. these. however, in the tests that have been done in the financial experience,

they are the shown on human. they've shown human pathogens. this is miss sharon slice and make a virus on hepatitis a. and then secondly, either fund, i'm a truck yours or what for them actually in the for being. so this would indicate that for things on what the risk of getting disease from us within we are then they'll actually get to give us any disease. the way separation initiative in simon's style not only helps reduce interactions between the boons and humans. it. so it's another purpose to every day, a group of volunteers collect the food waste and takes it out of town to the funds, which used as peak feed. a steady supply of kitchen scraps enables township residents to bolster the income by collecting the food and having them join us on. on these trips it's allowed us to be able to build summer

relationships with them, as well as giving them the opportunity to take care of themselves by collecting the food and then feeding it to the pigs, selling the pigs, and then be able to have cash in their pocket to be able to buy whatever they need in their house. humans and bones have co existed in south africa for centuries, but threats to the animal's habitat have led to increase conflict. simple as they are. the efforts and segments don't show that co existence is still possible, and the bones don't need to be seen as enemies of humans. but as neighbors, the all thoughts provoking example of all humans can interact with other animals. how much will we still have to learn from other species come the same when it comes to not through disasters such as volcanic eruptions on us, quick, even with oh technology. we still can't predict when they will heat bought the

awesome new also cooled. really help us out on the point. us begin this one ellis. this we believe the internet of animals has the potential to become an early warning system in the future on owns and loans and steam b as in code. many animals have better sense has been humans. some species can smell better, others can hear better, and some can even sense danger before it shows that space. it's been documented that before natural disasters heard animals become agitated for change, their behavior to vice. be inbound to inbound audrey, for example, in many other parts of the world. it said that animals ran away from vixen armies. were essentially warned. earthquakes needs of the head before the in the, at the him give on. it's hard to confirm, but we're seeing more lot of it. and that's something like that, that play. yeah, he buys it us. the was from cindy income. in some cases, animal started behaving differently, many hours prior to a natural disaster. behavioral biologist,

martine zukowski and his team are exploring the so called $0.06. as part of the icarus project, the scientist equip animals with transmitters. they couldn't get some more or, you know, able to observe animals around the clock, wherever they are. let's be doing this means that for the 1st time we can receive continuous information about them, which is then fed into the internet of animals. yeah. else is on each side of it, works by giving them little electronic devices, we call them wearables, provide life even getting in and this wearables for wildlife. the wearables sensors send information in real time by a cell phone network or satellite, and can even exchange it directly effectively from animal to animal. the data is then analyzed using artificial intelligence. as shown is, these are one tag, often american ear tag on the right authorize the, the beauty is that the, your tech doesn't just record data like the somebody you know, whereabouts of the animal. but it also interprets the data into the games. all that

is we have artificial intelligence in the air tech that we train beforehand. you follow that allows the animals to effectively communicate with us and we need sequence. in recent times, however, the project has been under norm is strange. the signals for the icarus project were transmitted in part by the international space station in collaboration with russian partners after rushes invasion into cream last year. the cooperation stopped. but there's something new in the pipeline that makes this yeah, annoyance at the launch will launch on your satellite next year and then have a much better system which we control ourselves indicated in 10 years. and i believe we won't just be consulting the weather forecast, but the animal forecast report from life on earth itself. yeah, the sound it so you see, but using the special abilities of a nameless species, humans can benefits in multiple ways. many phones are starting to recognize, but on the most have bits of solutions to the problems then human technology can

also on next report comes from the mediterranean island. cyprus, with paste side uses, caused great damage to the ecosystem. but now i'm not sure a solution is taking flight in an abandoned village. this 4 month old house is getting prepped and ready for work with a tag clips its limbs. officials here can money the birds movements and compiled important information for a unique project. it's task is simple to hunt rodents and help save thousands of acres of farmland. east pots of an initiative to organically control pest in cyprus is green line area. the green line, or the buffer zone, demilitarized zone about 108 to kill them. it was long divide in the republic of cyprus and the self declared turkish republic of modern cypress used to an old conflict. it's made up of abandoned villages and overgrown farms. and

a part of it is money to buy a united nations peacekeeping mission. they're agreeing for i'm still being cultivated here, but farmers face a major problem. the battery is the only scenario that that's not the much you want and human activities being going on for decades. it's an area with the unit in some parts of it. there's lots of thrust into a problem and because it's most negative on saturday, i think it's an area that's uh, it's an ideal uh project for about an hour to be a nice thing. books came to be placed on our project as an 8 year old initiative to get more from us to stop using dangers pesticides that the great, the soil and leaky towards rec, and with a project has now deployed more than 1000 brun owls. the hope is that this scheme will be a windfall, the environment, but also for the people and the finance. like many in the village of denise pharma, chris, the duluth, used to use rep points in on his fields. but he has now joined the bon out project,

which is organic ad cost free for him up blake, and then hit the gun with the federal. oh boy yeah. that was our a mirror at the top. they completely overcame the problem of road. and this time today, awful stuff. when we put our fields in one of the streets and squares of our village bought, i bought a work. it's almost impossible to find rodents and rats. i've been given to get ahold of you uh, this quote of almost another man, one day going into fits between 20 to 50 bon owls now leave here in the buffer zone . the birds generally die from eating right. poisoned or colliding with cause. luckily, but alice can lay several eggs at the time like this adult mama bird that's incubating 5 eggs at the moment. we are sorry, these are now pushing for mall. farmers in the country to take up this method. one incentive, we'll see farmers joining the project, get paid for given of pesticides and installing nest boxes. instead. returning

the ols decide price is a small, but important state to and do the donation. wouldn't me, has done bought new policies a week or 2 without disrupting the vice vs. in the 1st place, we visited a family that has been allowed to phone in the middle of a strictly protective national park. in reaching the coach, they must leave with minimal ecological footprint. elsa and billy are collecting x. their father, matthew watkinson, has made his dream come true. she and his family made a fresh start. matthew gave up his job as a veterinarian. so did his wife harris. ringback ringback now they farm a small piece of land in new port wales where their property

overlooks the water is a wealth of opportunities and possibilities. but there is with a bit of imagination to say, i want to try something different. and this was the outlet. we were just wanting to let creativity and imagination go and turn what is just bashing failed into something full of life. what concerns lee is from what nature provides their property is completely off the grid. instead of a washing machine, they have a makeshift hand power device, a small windmill and solar panels provide electricity. but when it's still or cloudy, power can be in short supply. everything is improvised and everything gets recently cold, even old cars. so this one we, we plot all seats and we start all seeds going in there. and then this one with,

we've got a spare bedroom and so that say friends or family visits. so we started with a whole sorry that was seemed to be the quickest way to create a habitable space. we needed a bit more space, so we decided we'll get some old agricultural trailers. slot them in behind. lincoln altogether somehow cover it and would i'm this is the result. is it? can i complete the hodge podge of things that we could find at the time. the vegetables are grown and old truck tires it's winter, but rhubarb is sprouting from the soil. they grow fruit and vegetables without a pesticides and take care to increase file diversity on their property. they will, sorry. the wells government support sustainable projects like this one under program called one planet and development. in return to what concerns must

demonstrate, they provide at least 65 percent of their food and energy themselves to earn money . they give courses for people who want to live a low impact lifestyle. they'd hope to raise honey bees, but that turned out to be more difficult than they thought. the things were a big part of what we were doing up here. we're just not getting as much money as result. whether that is to do with climate change, what winters that really seem to be getting more often a per bond for these. i don't know, but we just copy of their live and very happy now that we got written by the kitchen window of every year, the all sorties check to make sure that the family is as self sufficient as the rules require. they are building permits and the national park depends on it. to show what your ecological footprint is you, you have to literally record of 1st thing. you've spent money on all the food,

any station rain, 2nd time, close new clothes, shoes like it just absolutely everything. the watkins since we're allowed to build on the coast and the national park. they received the permit because they met strict environmental criteria. busy the wrong the mountain known as kind of mainly among the locals. it's said to be a magical place and some object to the what concerns living there. when the application was made for the one time the development. it wasn't to move to the issue because connie agrees held in high regard and revered locally, and many people thought this was inappropriate to have any form of development on the slopes of cunningly. for that, i heard the watkins since have been living here for 6 years. but now their neighbors are trying to block the properties, access lane, a move, they didn't expect the hottest part by far. yeah, that's dealing with the resistance to what you believe. and i believe in for making

this punch of land more habitable for people for wildlife life. and their converted trailers is rustic especially on tanf winter evenings. but they love it here and want to be an example for their children. that's got both summer, we're having much less of an impact on the environment doing this. and it kind of shows them how they might be able to do that in the future as well. and, and that we can do this without getting rid of all electricity and television and internet, you know, we still go to all of that, but we can do this even if some of their neighbors haven't been won over the watkins since. hope that they're inspiring as many people as possible to live in harmony with nature. another area, well ok. students to nature are changing is bush me hunting wild animals for food is a traditional practice across africa. bought the bush, me, shred, house,

come on display in recent years. one reason is the wise in disease, a transmission between animals and humans. lots the old, a very serious concerns about endangered species. does right sandra and several countries have no band hunting, selling a consumption of bush mates is good for the animals, but now is affected. those whose livelihood was depended on the bush. me to train this young dwarf crocodile had a lucky escape. it was rescued. a 3 and a half months ago. no, be on board board is we're using it bucket into the wild. ease the constant visual monitor, like various fost general wildlife century. before he started this job, he tooled, i've seen a couple days as a source of food. now he's returned hundreds of funny, most of the natural habitats when i was gray of a. uh, i have

a new come on view of all abuse. uh, well if the with me is like a cost them or dish and uh, what grew up and going to school lane. yeah. because the vision in getting that if you working with wildlife have changed everything. my car instead is uh, what did people have to bring about change the communities in schools and in the villages where most of these animals come from the forest among routes and reverse a flight barrier or a global biodiversity hotspot with hundreds of different species of pods. momos reptiles implants a few years ago and they buried a post to low binding the cell on consumption of bush, meet the amys, to preserve biodiversity and prevent the spread of disease.

and we might get more really boss, so white legs century, outside the copy, told me from the deal was founded in 2017 the stuff via care for a huge variety of wildlife. most of the animals work on face dictated by forest to developmental targeting from people involved in the now illegal bush, me to afraid site to use absolutely imperative to liberia and the one's life little came and got changed in 2016 and the when the lawyers in force, they have to have somewhere to bring these animals are willing, with most of the animals here actually opens. and this little bush block is a prime example timing. that's 350 grams, which is the weight that it would be while it was when it was form. so that

is a 99 percent chance it's month. phase mother had actually been killed in the bush mate. the little one was left with nearly 70 percent of the various population living in a close proximity to the country. dense forests. bush meat was incredibly popular. the most common 90 most targeted were tumbling along with several species of monkeys. comfort. debbie sold bush meeting monrovia markets for over 20 years, but today she has become a national advocate for the countries wide life and biodiversity. now we've spoken with a roommate and we've spoken with other people to stop trading that we should meet because that would be fine. for with a lot be read. if we wanted to try and push me our far, i would be input that would not be good for us. according to the worldwide fund for nature liberians use to get to more than 75 percent of the protein from bush meet.

much a v to us sold at the local markets. we have most people he gets their food. at numa also sold bush meat for many years, but i've to walk in with comfort. she switched to selling fish, which benefits her and her family for was sending the person with this but not as says, i'm fairly new especially so i'm sending faxes to process. for example, finally, if i don't want to go by, i can show much i'm paying for deputies advocacy looks to be paying off. the study was conducted on the people is a push me to being traded at the markets across the country. it found that, you know, single, the, there was a 50 percent reduction in bush meat, but despite these positive results, the us 2 challenges of this. mike, as long as southern was moved by,

we have so many miles. yes. and i do have boxes on my caps houses, so my guess is i do. and then the lab us as sort of dependent on me. so it takes time. oil change takes time, but when is off the bottle on any reduction could give critical indented on the most like these white ballad, 3 punk 1000000 and contents, other species of fighting tons. the progress made in liberia shows the f for these watts wise to ensure the long term survival of many, they fast and beautiful species. the impulse is always worthwhile. that brings us to the very end of the special by they lost the addition. every speech accounts, we hope you found it is fine too. it is a good buy from counselor. i mean, sandra holmes and we know us. and for me, chris, i live in lake goes. if you enjoyed the show, please make sure you take all the online environment content online. good. by
