7 percent in 60 minutes, dw. very well. well thanks again to dustin, the gen love and binding thing, step away from the spot. i'm not even allowed to go to my own car. and everyone was made of holes in every single day stuff, getting you ready to meet the gentleman enjoying me. rachel stuart on dw the the way we behave towards all other forms of life from these planets, is crucial for our own survival. welcome to equal africa, and especially addition, every specie counts. by the way, this also means us humans. i am sunbrook a homes that we never do right here. income polo,
8:31 am
uganda. and i'm chris 11. so now i to area what video falls do not understand is that ever seen in nature is connected with everything else. every plant, every animals plays. it's role in the group ecosystem, offer us what those documents. let me explain. pricing margin life, one of the tall of building blocks. and it's block. 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 human activities this causing the loss of many speeches as we use of most space and resources of the building blocks. i remove the call, gets weaker and weaker, put into wholesale, all, well, as we know, it was cut off. fortunately, it hasn't come to vats yet. what we already know to st changes around us when the
8:32 am
rough fuel is fixed because the host plants can no longer grow, then the birds please. that's a rule that each 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 isn't faced by the traffic whizzing. pause. no, all the other big ones here in the setup of cape tough. but cute as it is to see them roaming around, very exposed to a lot of changes here of to a number of foot brunswick killed a badly injured by cost. wanted to started a traffic coming project. i think that is the biggest one is knowing that you, when you're ready to do a crossing and there's the nurse fatality or injury as is always a one. um and even though it's very incremental that has been progressiveness in terms of car existence,
8:33 am
in some songs the baboons can be rather mis tvs regularly damaging property in this search for food. that's why some have called for the animals to be removed or use a nice system. and phone resident has found that a drill some industrial strength, wellbeing, 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, with, 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 trach. now it's collected in special bins,
8:34 am
but i sit in this acute place for late to pick up. there's not much food in there anymore for them. which means that they have to do lots of this and they've decided, obviously to go elsewhere to go look the 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. dustin's 2 studies have shown that the balloons are considered one of the most difficult animals for humans to co exist with a full blown 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 springs coming into your given area and getting into people's houses as well as they've been. there's potential for transmission of
8:35 am
disease across the toothpaste. 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 ms shown slash and make any virus on hepatitis a. and then secondly, the fund. i'm curious, what for them? that's me and the thing, so this would indicate that for things on what the risk of getting disease from us have been, we are then they are lucky to get to give us any disease. the way separation initiative in simon style not only helps reduce interactions between baboons and humans, it so it's another purpose to every day, a group of volunteers collect the food ways and takes it out of town to the fun way . it's used as peak feed, a steady supply of kitchen scrubs enables township residents to bolster the income by collecting the food and having them join us on. on these trips it's allowed us
8:36 am
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 increased conflict. simple as they are, the efforts and segments don't show that co existence is still possible. and baboons don't need to be seen as enemies of humans. but s 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 natural disasters, such as becoming corruptions on us quick, even with oh technology,
8:37 am
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 bonds is deemed and could 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 some vixen armies or essentially want earthquakes. these that i had before the, in the, at the him give on. it's hard to confirm, but we're seeing more and more evidence that something like that, that play. yeah, he buys it us. it was from cindy income. in some cases,
8:38 am
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 work, you know, able to observe animals around the clock, wherever they are just be doin. 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, for lack of 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 beauty is that the,
8:39 am
your tech doesn't just record data like the, somebody you to worry about. so 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. it follows 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 launching 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 sounds good. so you see by using the special abilities of nameless species, humans can benefits in multiple ways. many farmers are starting to recognize,
8:40 am
but most have bits of solutions to the problems. then human technology can also. next, we pulled accounts from the mediterranean island to cypress, with paste side uses caused great damage to the ecosystem. but now i'm not sure solution is taking flight in an abandoned village. this 4 month old owl 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. its task is simple to hunt rodents and help save thousands of acres of farmland. is part of an initiative to organically control. pest in cyprus is green line area. the green line, oh, 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 northern cypress used to an old conflict. it's made up of abandoned villages and overgrown farms.
8:41 am
and a part of it is money to buy a united nations peacekeeping mission. is there a grain for i'm still being called to be did here, but farmers face a major problem. the battery is the only scenario that the not much you want to mind like tv is being going on for decades. it's an area with the unit in some parts of it. there's lots of world into a problem. and because it's the most negative out 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 dangerous pesticides, but the great the soil and leaky to our drinking water. the chemicals are common in cyprus despite a bad thing. people to unload it is unfortunately in the cypress pesticides banned in europe and by local legislation seep through the buffer zone and the use of the
8:42 am
money from us to control rodents and the roof table on these products to make the way up the food chain and reach humans, so thinking that they see you, then it gets done, you can still get the line from the one. now let's see if we have governments and bread live, cyprus, and, and you, once farmers to use bought house, instead, the birds a powerful of credit. those things that they are excellent, nighttime vision, precise hearing, and special wings. the mic, no noise during flight, or a family of brawn. owls can eat up to 1000 miles a year, making them inefficient and free natural pest control method. across cyprus, the 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 formats. like many in the village of denise pharma, crystal duluth used to use right poison on these fields. but he has now joined the
8:43 am
bun out project, which is organic ad cost free for him up blake, and then hit the gun with the federal. we are the i was our a mirror, a gun on the top. uh, 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 warranty. it's almost impossible to find rodents and rapids. uh, could i be getting me to get ahold of you uh, this quote of almost 10 of them and when they go in any fit, so between 20 to 50 bon owls now leave here in the buffer zone. the birds generally die from eating right poison or colliding with cause. luckily, one else can lay several eggs at the time like this adult mama bird that's thank you basing 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 will see farmers joining the project get paid for given up pesticides and
8:44 am
installing nest boxes instead. returning the oldest to cyprus is a small but important state to undo the damage wouldn't funding has done. bought commute policies, i would go to without disrupting the vice for you. 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
8:45 am
overlooks the water is a wealth of opportunities and possibilities. but there is with a bit of imagination to say, i wanna try something different. and this was the outlet. we would just want it to like creative it to you and imagination. go into and what is just bashing fails into something full of life. what concerns lives 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 recycled, even old cars. so this one we, we plant all seeds and we start all seeds going in there. and then this one with
8:46 am
we've got a spare bedroom and so that so friends or family visits. so we started with a host already 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 behind. lincoln altogether somehow cover it and would i'm this is the result. is it? can i complete hodge podge of things that we could find that the time vegetables are grown in old truck tires it's winter, but rhubarb is sprouting from the soil. they grow fruit and vegetables without 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
8:47 am
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 honey as result. whether that is to do with climate change room, what winters that really seem to be getting more often a per a bond for bees. i don't know, but we're just happy as they are alive and very happy now that we got one 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,
8:48 am
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 set to be a magical place and some object to the what concerns living there. when the application was made for the one kind of development, it wasn't to move to 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. accordingly, 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,
8:49 am
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 those somebody 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. east bush, me hunting wild animals for food is
8:50 am
a traditional practice across africa. bought the bush meat, shred house, come on to fly in recent years. one reason is the wise in disease, a transmission between animals and humans. lots, they're also very serious concerns about endangered species. does right sandra and separate 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 conservation money to attract various foss 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
8:51 am
a new come on view of all abuse. uh, well the wish me is like a cost them or dish and uh, what, growing up and going to school, letting you know because the vision in getting that if you working with wildlife, have changed everything. my car instead is uh what the vid people or to bring about change the communities in to school. and in the villages where most of these animals come from the forest among groups and reverse of liberia or a global biodiversity hotspot. with hundreds of different species of pods, mumbles reptiles implants. a few years ago, liberia passed to little binding. the cell on consumption of bush meet the amys, to preserve biodiversity and prevent the spread of disease.
8:52 am
and we might keep more the bus, so white like century outside the copy, told them from the deal was founded in 2017 the stuff via care for a huge variety of wildlife. most of the animals work on fish dictated by forest to developmental, targeted from people involved in the now illegal bush meat, fred site, to use absolutely imperative to liberia and the one's life little came and got changed in 2016 and the when the lawyers and fools, 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, came in at 350 grams, which is the weight that it would be while it was when it was form. so that
8:53 am
is a 99 percent chance it's month. phase mother had actually been killed and from bush mate, the little one was left with nearly 70 percent of the various population living in 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 and drove us markets for over 20 years. but today she has become a national advocate for the countries wide life and biodiversity. now we're talking with a roommate and we've spoken with other people to stop treading and wish me because they will be fine for with a lot be read. if we want to know to try and push me our far, i would be empty. they would not be good for us. according to the worldwide fund for nature liberians use to get more than 75 percent of the protein from bush meet,
8:54 am
much of v to a sold at the local markets. we have most people here get the food. at my will, so sold bush meat for many years, but i still walk in with comfort. she switched to selling fish, which benefits her and her family for was sending the person with this. this is well not as just i'm fairly new especially so i'm suddenly festus. in process, for example, finally, even if i don't want to go by, i can show much of it. it just came for deputies advocacy looks to be paying off a study was conducted on the privilege of 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,
8:55 am
we have so many miles. yes, i do have boxes on my caps houses, so my guess is idea. and then the lab us as sort of dependent on me. so it takes time to change takes time. but when is off the bottle on any reduction could give critical indented on the most like these white ballad, 3 tumbling and complex, other species of fighting tons? the progress made in liberia shows the f. what is watts wise to ensure the long term survival of many, they fuss and beautiful species? the impulse is always worthwhile. that brings us to the very end of the special by they've lost the addition. every speech accounts, we hope you found it is fine too. it is a good buy from complex. i mean, sandra holmes, that we know view us. and for me, chris, i live in lake goes. if you enjoy the show, please make sure you take all the online environment content online. goodbye.
