series with glover raising the ground breaking questions. kennedy's going speed after life. we are sitting, saving the world, 42. the answer to almost everything. this week on d, w, the the way we behave towards all other forms of life and these planets is crucial for our own survival. welcome to equal africa and especially edition every specie counts. by the way, this also means us humans. i am sunbrook a 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 plays, it's rolled in the grid ecosystem, offer us what those documents. let me explain pricing margin life, one of the tall of building blocks. and this blog is a specie of animals plus phone guy bucks, area author leaving, then the paint on each other to keep the whole structure of strong stable. what human activities this causing the loss of many speeches as we use of most space and results. this as the building blocks i remove the call gets weaker and weaker. puts into whole thing all well, as we know, it was cut off and fortunately it hasn't come to vats yet. well, we already know to st. changes around us when the rough fuel is ex, because yeah, most plans can no longer grow. then the birds please. that's an rule that each bees

insect also start disappearing. and humans move close to areas. but all the traditional habits of all the animals there is potential for complex us. i example from salt opera go shows which surprises and results this local resident isn't phased by the traffic whizzing costs. know all the other big ones here in the suburb of cape top, acute as it is to see them roaming around. fairly exposed to a lot of changes here of to a number of foot points were killed or badly injured by costs fall into started a traffic coming project. i think that is the biggest one is knowing that you, when you've managed to do a crossing and there's the nurse, the status 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 your 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 would 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 set. and we thought, well, if it can work for the bays in canada, it shows how can we for the beans in silence? tom, the message has proved successful as the ctv footage shows. several restaurants in simon's town 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, but i sit in a secure place for late to pick up. there's not much food in there

anymore for them. which means that they hit 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 stuff spends. 2 studies have shown that the bones are considered one of the most difficult animals for humans to co exist with a bone of human conflict is an issue in several countries in africa, including sing, baldwin, what's one? and if you get the conflict, not only cause of stress, it also carries health risk springs coming into your living area and getting into people's houses as well as they've been. there's potential for transmission of 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. there's, there's missions slash and making the virus on hepatitis a. and then secondly, they found a truck curious what for them actually in pain? so this would indicate that for things on what the risk of getting disease from us within 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 a fun way to use as peak feet. 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 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 in silence don't show that co existence is still possible, and the bones don't need to be seen as enemies of humans, but as phoebus all thoughts per full cane example of all humans can interact with other animals. how much will we still have to learn from other spacious compass seen when it comes to natural 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 could really help us out on the point, a big investment ellis, this we believe the internet of animals has the potential to become an early warning system in the future on loans and loans and steam b. as in code, many animals have better census than 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 is it said that animals ran away from mixing armies or essentially want earthquakes. me. so the hidden within the beam 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 to 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 yes ma'am. uh, were you 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. yes. is on each side of the networks by giving them little electronic devices. we call them wearables for wildlife, even getting in and this wearables for wildlife. the wearable 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 they can hear tag on iran, authorize the, the beauty is that the, 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 and the air tech that we train before has the all of that allows the animals to effectively communicate with us and we need sequence. and recent times, however, the project has been under a normal strain. 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, noise at the launching launch on your satellite next year and then have a much better system which we control ourselves indicated in 10 years. i believe we won't just be consulting the weather forecast, but the animal forecast report from life on earth itself. yeah, there are showing that. so you see by using the special abilities of a nameless species, humans can benefits in multiple ways. many farmers are starting to recognize that on the most hub, better solutions to the problems then human technology can also on next report

comes from the mediterranean island, cypress 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 tide 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. east balls of an initiative to organically control pest in cyprus is green line area, or the green line, or the buffer zone, the demilitarized zone, about 108 to kill them. it was long divide in the republic of cyprus and the celtic lead turkish republic of northern cypress used to an old conflict. it's made up of abundant villages and overgrown farms. and a part of it is money to buy

a united nations peacekeeping mission. they're agreeing from still being cultivated here, but farmers face a major problem or the buffer zone. the scenario that the not much you want to more like tv days being going on for decades. you to an area with uh, you know, in some parts of it, there's lots of thrilled into a problem. and because it's the most negative got 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 game to be placed on our project is an 8 year old initiative to get more from us to stop using dangers 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 the local legislation seep through the buffer zone and the use by many from us to control rodents in the book. the one,

these products make the way up the food chain and reach humans. so figured i'd 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 credit. those things that they are excellent, nighttime vision, precise hearing, and special wings, the mic, no noise during flight. a family of braun, i was gonna eat up to 1000 miles a year, making them an efficient 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 win for the environment, but also for the people and the formats. like many in the village of denise pharma, crystal duluth used to use rep points in on his fields. but he has now joined the bun out project, which is organic ad costs wait for him up, blake,

and then hit the garden with the federal boy. yeah. the i was our a mirror, a gun on that. they completely overcame the problem of road. and this time today also stopped when we put our fields in one of the streets and squares of our village. but i bought a warm, 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 gliding with cause. luckily, but alice can play 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 installing nest boxes. instead. returning the ols to cyprus is a small,

but important state to undo the damage wouldn't funding, has done bought. can you process a week or 2 without disrupting the vice vs? in the 1st place, we visited a family that has been allowed to fall 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 a 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 whales 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 us. and this was the outlet. we would just want it to like creative it to you in imagination, go and turn what is just bashing failed into something full of life. what concerns leads 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 st provides and everything gets recycled, even old cars. so this one we, we plant all seeds and we start all seeds growing in the and then this one with we've got a spare bedroom and so that say 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. um slot them in behind. lincoln altogether somehow cover it and would i'm this is the result. is it? can i complete a hodge podge of things that we could find that the time vegetables are grown and old truck tires it's winter, but rhubarb is sprouting from the soil. they grow fruits and vegetables without a pesticides and take care to increase file diversity on their property. they bought 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 with just not getting as much money as we sold. whether that is to do with climate change, what winters that really seem to be getting more often a per a bond for bees. 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 solved as efficient as the rules require their building permits. and the national park depends on it. and 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 in the national park, they receive the permit because they met strict environmental criteria. busy there on the mountain known as cunningly 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 product development, it wasn't to move to issue because cunningly is held in high regard and revered locally. and many people thought this was inappropriate to have any form of development on the slopes. accordingly, far as i heard the watkins' since have been living here for 6 years, but now their neighbors are trying to block the properties, access lane, i move, they didn't expect the hottest part by far. yeah. just dealing with the resistance to what you believe and i believe in for making this punch of land

more habitable for people for wild life life and their converted trailers is rustic especially on damp winter evenings. but they love it here and want to be an example for their children, the scope of 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 what concerns 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 a traditional process across africa. bought the bush meat tread has come on display

in recent is one reason is the wise and disease transmission between animals and humans. a lot. the also 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 meat. strange . this young dwarf crocodile had a lucky escape. it was rescued, a 3 and a half months. a gold? no be on board board is we're using it to buck into the wild. ease the conservation money to collect various fust general wildlife century. before he started this job, he tooled, i've seen the crocodiles as a source of food. now he's returned hundreds of animals to the natural habitats. when i was gray of, uh, uh, i have a new home on view of all abuse. uh, what is 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 and getting that if you working with wildlife, it have changed everything. my car instead is uh what the vid people or to bring about change the communities in schools. and in the, in the villages where most of these animals come from. the forest among roofs and reverse of liberia are a global biodiversity hotspot with hundreds of different species of pods. mumbles rep tires implants. a few years ago, liberia passed to low binding the cell and consumption of bush meet the amys to please stop by with a varsity and prevent the spread of disease and

make it more fully boss. so white glove sensory outside the copy to learn brovio was founded in 2017 the stuff he a care for a huge variety of wide life. 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 live area and the ones live 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 i actually orphans. and this little bush box is a prime example, came in at 350 grams, which is the white that it would be while it was when it was born. so that 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've spoken with a we me and we've spoken with other people to stop trading that we should meet because they will be fine for with a lot be read. if we want to not to try and push me our far, i would be empty. that will not be good for us. according to the worldwide fund for nature, liberians used to get more than 75 percent of the protein from bush meet. much of

the to a sold a local markets where most people here get their food at numa well. so sol, bush, meat for many years, but i'm still walking with comfort. she switched to selling fish, which benefits her and her family for was sending the person with the supervisor this, this is well not as says, i'm fairly new especially. so i'm sending faxes in process for example, finally, even if i don't want to go by, i can show much of the 10 foot 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 on this. mike, as long as that is with me while we have so many miles, yes. and i do have bosses on my caps houses. so my guess is like you and then the

lab us as sort of dependent on voice me. so it takes time to change takes time. but awareness is off the bottle on any reduction could give critical, intended, on the most like these white valid, treat, tumbling and complex other species of fighting tons the progress made. and maybe it shows the f. what is, what's 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 a special buy. they lost the addition, every specie counts. we hope you phoned, 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. the

cover is 50 and she has diabetes. luckily, illness has found early, but she lives in sierra leone with knowledge of diabetes, and its medical treatments of to the i'm age of the nice ation once to change that giving hama logo in 30 minutes on the w. the arms race on the baltic

region into the center of the policy. this is where russia and nations comes face to face. the thrice of a dangerous escalation is comfortable bombing against nature and the balance in 75 minutes on d w. the sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing an environmental conservation to life with learning facts like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing,

download it now for so many pushed loads us are now in the world right now. climate change. the story. this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to work on doing flux. this subscriber for molding is like the, the, the,

this is the w use life from the that a major re shuffle of ukraine's defense ministry. presidents. a nice king says he's replacing defense, but as the legs he advised the cost calling for new approaches after a year and a half of the scholars, corruption, nothing cations that basically cost the nice advocates post climate, stomach. exhausting. can you have a good say? because that it could be a renewable energy powerhouse pump will need the financial support to unlock that potential stuck in the days that tens of thousands of festival goes stranded.
