in syria, in 45 minutes on d, w. these places in europe smashing the rank one step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin clo, to discover some of us wrinkled bragging sites on youtube. and also 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 am christa lives in the area. what video of 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 live, one of the tall of building blocks. and it's block. it's a specie of animals plus the phone guy bucks, area of other leaves, and then the paint on each other to keep the whole structure of strong stable. what's human activities? this causing the loss of many spaces as we use of most space and resources of the building blocks remove the call, gets weaker and weaker puts into whole sane all weld us. we know it was cut off, and fortunately it hasn't come to vats yet. what 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 of a complex us. i example from salt opera go 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 suburb of cape town, acute as it is to see them roaming around. they are exposed to a lot of dangers here. after 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 is the nurse fatality or injury as is always a one. um, and even though it's very incremental that has been progressive enough in terms of car existence,

in some songs the bones can be rather mis tvs regularly damage and 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 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 with for the beans in summons tom the message has proved successful as the ctv footage shows several restaurants and simon stones have chosen a prevention strategy closer to the source of the problem organic waste is no longer mixed with other tract. now it's collected in special bins, a 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 baboons have visited town a lot less regularly in terms of looking for food in my documents that 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 born 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 the ribbon area and getting into people's houses as well as they've been. there's potential for transmission of

disease across the to space these. however, in the, to sort of being done in the financial experience, they are the shown, the human they've shown human pathogens. this is miss shown slash and making the virus and hit patasha say. and then secondly, they found a truck curious, what for them actually in the thing. so this would indicate that the things on what the risk of getting disease from us has been we are then they'll actually forget to give us any disease. the way separation initiative in simon style not only helps reduce interactions between baboons and humans, it serves another purpose to every day a group of volunteers collect the food ways and takes it out of town to a fun way. it's used as speak feed, a steady supply of kitchen scraps enables township residents to bolster their income by collecting the food and having them join us on,

on these trips, it's allowed us to be able to build some 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 and they 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 animals habitat have led to increased 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 neighbors, the all thoughts from full cane example of all humans can interact with other animals. how much will we still have to learn from others? fishy is kind of the same when it comes to not through this last is 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. a big investment ellis. this, we believe the internet of animals has the potential to become an early warning system in the future on owns and bonds. 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 him by speed inbound dot to inbound audrey. for example, in many other parts of the world is it said that animals ran away. some vixen armies were essentially warned of earthquakes. nice 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 set 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 it currently it? yes ma'am. uh. were you able to observe animals around the clock, wherever they are? this be the way this means that for the 1st time we can receive continuous information about them, which is then fed into the internet of animals. yeah. is i'm gonna show that it works by giving them little electronic devices if we call them wearables, provide life even getting in and this wearables for wildlife, the wearables sensors send information and real time by a cell phone network or satellite. it can even exchange it directly effectively from animal to animal. the data is then analyzed using artificial intelligence. as shown as these are one pick of kinetic and your tag on the right authorize. 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 and the air tech that we train beforehand. the follow that allows the animals to effectively communicate with us and we need sequence. and recent times, however, the project has been under a 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 us 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 by using the special abilities of nameless species, humans can benefits in multiple ways. many farmers are starting to recognize that

most have better solutions to the problems then human technology can awesome. so next report comes from the mediterranean island fi press. 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 ponds of an initiative to organically control. pest in cyprus is green line area, or the green line, or the buffer zone, demilitarized zone about 180 kilometers long. dividing the republic of cyprus and the celtic lead turkish republic of northern 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 much you shoot me an activities being going on for decades. it's an area with uh, you know, in some parts of it, there's lots of thrilled into a problem. and because it's most negative out saturday, i think it's an area that it's an ideal type project for about an hour to be at. and this 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 come on in cyprus despite the bad thing you put on the loading is unfortunately in the cypress pesticides banned in europe and by 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 thinking that the see you then it gets done, it gets to gets to and from the one. now let's see if we have governments and bread live, cyprus, and, and jo, once farmers, to use bought house. instead, the birds a powerful of credit. those things to their excellent nighttime vision, precise hearing and special wings, the make no noise during flight. a family of brawn owls gonna eat up to 1000 miles a year, making them an efficient and free natural pest control method. across cyprus, the project was 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, crystal duluth, used to use rep poison on his fields. but he has now joined the bundle project,

which is organic ad cost free for him. up blake, and then said they've gotten with that. probably. yeah. the i was our america on the top uh they completely overcame the problem of road and is on today also stopped 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 on the 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 gliding 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. if 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 of pesticides,

and installing nest boxes. instead. returning the ols to cyprus is a small, but important state to undo the damage more than funding has done bought. can you properties a week or 2 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 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 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 improvise 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,

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. um slot them behind. lincoln altogether somehow cover it and would i'm this is the result. is it? could 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 won't sorry. the wealth government supports 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 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 one 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. they are 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 the wrong 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 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, 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 of 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've 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 practice across africa. bought the bush meat, shred house, come on display in recent years. one reason is the wise and disease, a transmission between animals and humans, a lot. 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 as affected those whose livelihood was depended on the bush meat. strange. this young dwarf crocodile had a lucky escape. it was rescued. 3 and a half months of gold. no be on board board is we're using it to bucket into the wild. ease the conservation money, just like various fust general wildlife century. before he started this job, he tooled, i've seen the truck with that as a source of food. now he's returned hundreds of funny, most of the natural habitats. when i was gray of uh, i have

a new point of view of for libraries. uh, what is the wish me is like of course them or dish and what grew up and going to school lane. yeah. because the vision and getting that if you working with wildlife, it have changed everything. my car instead is what did 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 and they vary a pass to low binding. the cell and consumption of bush meet the amys to police of biodiversity and prevent the spread of disease.

and we might keep more the bus. so white glove century outside the copy told me 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, through developmental authority from people involved in the now illegal bush, me to trade site, to absolutely imperative to liberia. the wall is 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 i actually opens. 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 a close proximity to the countries 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 started with a we me and we've spoken with other people to stop trading the wish me because they will be fine for with a lot be with 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 v to a sold at the local markets where most people here get their food. at numa also sold 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 this. this is well not as says i'm fairly new especially so i'm sending fax. this process, for example, finally, even if i don't want to go by, i can show much of it. i'm gonna just paying for deputies advocacy looks to be paying off. the study was conducted on the people as 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 to challenges this mike as long as southern with me while

we have so many miles, yes, we do have bosses or might have thousands of magazines like you and then the lab us as sort of depending on voice me. so it's 650 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 view us. and for me, chris, our lives in lake goes. if you enjoyed the show, please make sure you take all the all environment contents online. goodbye.

the

syria. russia's test love. the war of a question on ukraine is the only war being waged by vladimir from the past 12 years. he has also been supporting specialists. all i saw in the civil war against this report gets to the bottom of russia's military operation in syria.

in 15 minutes of d w, the spanish government is fulfilling its campaign, promises the by increasing the minimum wage. it moves to boston, which is good enough to do another seas also made in germany in 19 minutes on d w. the sometimes to show you, i found that you out to the highlight for sure every week. not them up. sometimes a seat is of all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. or to bring 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 the really you become a criminal pre crime, a i already told me is who paralyzed entire societies computers that much of the governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies, what, how that control think i'll will say that's how they can also go.

now the, this is dw news live from berlin. a years worth of rain falls on parts of greece and just one day, at least 7 people are dead after fierce rains trigger floods there, as well as in turkey and bulgaria. some of the heaviest rainfall ever recorded in europe. also on the program. former proud boys leader and re gates. how are you a sense of sentence to 22 years for his role and the attacks on the us capital? it's a long distance yet for involvement and.
