far i still carry the exploring motor laws styles, and committed to a name where he left his trees. meeting, peace, cheering, victory to sweet dw, the . we often forget that this planet does not belong just to us. it is also shed by magnificent creatures and the planets belongs to them as much as it does to hello and welcome. i am a product of the annual watching equal in depth on why these agree to us have had a bus the largest the live, but also try the non natural environment. we have made their lives living. and this

episode is all about those people who are trying to change this and help save our biodiversity ok, imagine this. it's late june and july. it's a warm evening and right as dusk steps and you'll see the new specs a flight 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 habitat loss? best to size and artificial light? well, does a community try we community in the west and state of my head astra. which is trying to do something to help save these fireflies and work on this onto these 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 into lights of the fireflies.

while a female is flights, as in waits on the ground, male fly around lighting up the sky and looking for the pulse like meet the one man who was very invested in this phenomenon is a more button. and then to monitor just the fire flavor. basically the beatles, ok a little bit out of all the flavors that actually beat those. that a few please just on this planet who communicate with the light signal. so firefly either one of these natural phenomenon has done it to a popular tourist attraction. organize must be a camp sites. firefly festivals have been drawing taurus in hordes. one festival and the other tribal village of british bodies stands out. it is a lead entirely by the little 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 start date. i mean, we did the door is the spots, but they can be seen in abundance and could if they tell them about what scenes they like to sit on and how often they come out and why they glow in the night need to cut some of the the full, not me, i know, but it, there goodness on the eva. well, this tribal community firefly tourism has done into a unique livelihood opportunity. right in the backyard, more than a 100 families big bought in hosting tourist, showing them what router life is like, including so traditional means. each family owns it on $3000.00 rupees or $33.00, yours a month. but this is a red case of lucas, benefiting as well as a gentle form of tourism. normally 5 by festivals in my head, i start our cause for concern among why life of the 5 play 50 will be the going to

have of bad, correct? uh, least in the view of picking 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 killing of female, which is walking down below, you know, below your feet. people should not be allowed to go in the out of 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 cut into the over 20 different firefly festivals, organized by various to operate does across my roster. but they differ from this one. doris i lot to offers of loud music bodies every night. barbecue is encamped, files sounded like 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 with head from the force 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 the 5, a lack of studies and knowledge about fireflies have already led to a significant decline habitat loss due to oven development, pesticides, and vicky the traffic have also contributed. and this has left a big impact on more species than just fireflies. fireplace are basically podiatry in nature, there hunters that have this small, but they're very important hunters in the forest. so they control is the population of the guy, the controller population of many other. you know me,

flies and captains flies and several other insects which can become bessler's. so then hold as best control is very, very large. so any number of, of drop in the number of fireflies, again, have a direct impact on the forest with their livelihoods closely. intertwined with the beads and species, the butterfly, the community tells us they are overcautious about the barrels of commercialization doors here. i mean to, to the line, including with fools, like no, use a flashlight, a no overcrowding much. they further to get that done. if they've been some, doris even tried to catch the fireflies some but we don't allow them to do the poker. nice fireflies, the dining and fragile and we needed lead di, if you catch them. you know, we educate. the daughter is that the seas will be dues with a short life span. 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 forest,

the local community. and the entire ecosystem would stick the regulations and move on to the stores of the fireflies light can know for a long time to come. busy how would you've seen if someone got charged you? i'm full to inside a cage and sold you off against filled with sounds pretty hardly. right? well, this is something that is frequently done to exotic, unprotected animals cross the border, illegal animal smuggling is the g o t w w f estimates that'd be in the good buy 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 in an enclosure in a spanish animal shelter near a country? the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old, but she has suffered greatly caregiver billy die is nursing her back to health.

queen, outside the yellow, 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 of 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 in passenger luggage here that the airports, she's found birds, snakes and torches,

where the kids so sad, the left side of it will be so ruthless. people have no chromos about tearing these animals from their habitat live, dismantled no, not in treating them like twice when i say that i'm my 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 3 minutes total organized criminals are often behind it trapped and then 5 ability. think of something that you need contacts in the country of origin to find the animals in. and you do need a network in europe to import them and they will seal this as a highly profitable business. vincent care for a monkey,

for example. it might cost $5.00 or 6 zeros in africa. and here it can fetch 2000 bureaus or more. and there we go, include so much according to the world wildlife fund, this global business is worth a billions. so if you d as says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons, but its impact is underestimated. to dinner with the vehicle, the adams, i'm going to go to as arms trafficking and drug smuggling, or taken more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement, wiley and border funds. illegal animal trafficking is just a serious but it isn't seen as 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 traffic 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 without service, they avoid detection because they can hide behind anonymous network. so the new model get put in a fella, they even use the dark web dart with the authorities don't have enough specialists to investigate properly. an animals are often rescued when it's too late. as we can use the cloud to leverage the business that they lost the yellow she's to use to people and she's blind in the wild. she would never be able to deal with her own species. says she was raised in captivity. so she's condemned to a life in captivity and go through a list of so either this illegal trade mix 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 they do for us? well guess who was a former best friend, steining little ones 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 a lot. 7 for all of so i need to be held. the 3rd ones are really necessary. azako dedan, a farmer from the village in audio lou isn't making natural for the light the using these are the months and what else at the site? oh, not a better comment. that 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 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 loan. this takes me from here. you to go to says 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 god dung on it. man of 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 working to it for 15 days and it becomes soft like a button which is how the rooms prefer to eat a muddy and around this optimum. the cover also provides a dark space for the dental ones come up and eat the just the organic ways and outcomes, the fertilizer, the one where on the market. there are 2 types of both worlds. native lands and

african one addict of the gulf. i. the number i'll pick them up today is what we use are the optic an odd funds, because the native month, not only the soul 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 think it's not they can model from holding another. i'll think of the developed either one the longer just wanted to boost its memory production. the also a geography to the go down and put it in the bit. these are old natural methods are used to fertilize the sol, but the not 11 the the academy. we typically stop getting to use in 45 to 90 days. uh, so we take it from the doctor and save it to remove any smaller trucks or 2 weeks on the then we package it into individual bods of 10 by 25 or 50 kilo's. what if i waive them? i'm finally deliver them to our customers,

and i will pause to allow us to get all the possible risk on. if we do on give them the passcode, i'm gonna put a good deed and has become a successful entrepreneur in audio little small. so if you can tell me not do lately, she has also started teaching them and find lives 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 that 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 before the 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 me from post because of that the ground next step because the way that these the, and the shoots out onto big and they use a met the cause is anika letter or the 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 buffalo and tonight. but i also shift on places in time and not the full of a low to kind of predict that since you started to 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 components at that account being identical from national, reviving the simple traditional method for fertilizing metric a saga dealer and has it only been coming onto know 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 on a rising sea temperatures. water pollution, several home for pushing methods. i'm 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 a c. monet 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 for 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 manufactured. so 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 the, but eventually we find a merchant who's willing to discuss the darker side of the coral. trade maple 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 say 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 as the needs of it as of the country. and so they spin the

phones and then come in any tiny they find another way. we had to the other side of the mediterranean sea, where into barca onto each is 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 is no more coral available was a what am i stuck on? what at some point they will probably be no more for a left at all. how do you and people die out and what was it? as a shortage, already makes it unaffordable for people here and they need to have no money. who can afford top polity. carl 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, left bishop was

a lot of legal fishing going on and that creates huge problems for us because at this roys or carlos stocks and the entire seabed, me to the fault, my house if 10 kilos of carl or 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 lows up the carl is lost. the only one kilo ends up being costs as, as almost to answer the phone. he says, the coral is smuggled by a tanisha and send 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 boats at the small port. if 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 tried to exported not the classic route is to italy deputy been witnessed. that could be that, you know, from there, the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india, somewhere minutes. but then as he thought, he let him in many asian countries, the underwater species are said 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 plaguing the coral stem from one thing, humans and their greed. you and how to wish and thought of that will just like many other species, our calls are dying because we no longer give them time time to grow and develop the simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans anymore. that make a 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. 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 and 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 things of the see daughters and push them back into the sea where they belong. the feeder to hot springs have a good chance of surviving etc. pants and lodge bought for 10, they residential present hot, any nearly 400 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 works and we told people about it, they said, why should we save them from? because there's a superstition that sees those bring bad luck. i the and father back on or been but you disregard such notions. overly darcia is considered one of the booth 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 this thing season, every female returns to made eggs on the same page. it has to go under though i did kinda gotta get every yard $150.00 to $200.00 daughters died just between tonight and the triangle area. so you can calculate how many daughters must have died in the last 20 years. since we started working,

i mentioned the porch ending accomplish 1 o'clock. the listing season is from december to april. during this time, members of the task force patrol beach is to collect a debt that was of late the project, the eggs in fence 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 the 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 any of them, that pressure folk are also being sensitized on how to reduce the harm 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 on. now under that, i mean, thinking about it, i'm

a fisherman. how do you know, put it, keep getting lots of fish has always been my going either one that happened. this can never compare to the happiness for protecting and really using the sea turtles into the ocean. because here we are saving lives on the arrive at a, in a good at the antenna. my one daughter, we've got bought them together. they have collected almost 60000 kilograms of goes notes and don't done to stop any time soon. i the best to matthew who would imagine what still i'll do as much as these animals do for us and our senate. we could do with a little more kindness towards them. be a little nicer and not only to from these lovely people that'd be met to on today's episode. so we can do our route for our biodiversity. but if you will let me know what did you like most about today's episode? and what would you like to see more roles? you can email us or reach out to me directly on my twitter. i will see you next week. do come back until then. dick is good bye. most gosh.
