in mediating cultures around the world, people learn to classify small handful of animals with edible and all the rest of the classify as disgusting. w series about a complex relationship with animals. the gratian needs to bait what you know on youtube dw documentary. the . we often forget that this planet does not belong just to us. it is also shared by magnificent creatures as the planets belongs to them as much as industrial. hello and welcome. i'm sorry to go through. i didn't annual watching equal in depth on why these creatures have had a bus well just to live, but also try the non natural environment. we have made their lives living him. and this episode is all about those people who are trying to change this and help see i

biodiversity. okay, imagine this, it's late, june and july. it's a warm evening and light as dusk steps and you'll see tiny specks of light in the as close to the trees. but nothing to eddie. this just means that fireflies have entered project. but did you know that fireflies are close to extinction because of habitats loss best to size and artificial light? well, as a community, i try we community in the rest and state of my head astra. which is trying to do something to help save these fireflies and work on their phones of these or 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 lights of the fireflies, while a female is slight to some weights on the ground,

male fly around lighting up the sky and looking for that perfect meet the one man who is 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 color flavors that actually beat those that a few just on this planet who communicate with the light signal. so firefly that a one of the this naturalist phenomenon has done it to a popular tourist attraction. organize mostly at camp sites. firefly festivals have been drawing taurus in hordes. one festival and the other tribal village of british bodies stands out. it is led 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 list that they, i mean that we did the door is the spots,

but they can be seen in abundance. it could have but they tell them about what scenes they like to sit on. how often they come out and why they glue in the 90 take? got some of the, the full not me. i know but it there goodness on the eva. well, this child community firefly tourism has done into a unique livelihood opportunity right in the backend. more than a 100 families big bought in hosting tourist, showing them what router life is like, including 2 traditional means. each family owns it on $3000.00 rupees or $33.00 euros 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 started cause for concern among why life of the 5 play 50 will be the going to have of that. but i do this in the view of picking good photos,

they need to be made aware of that. what do you see on the plan? you're gonna need to mean when you walk and you have the plan for the beginning of female, which is walking down below, you know, below your feet. people should not be allowed to go near that 3 because the communication will be disappeared apart from that. the female or a really good kid. so if that's cute, the, you know, make demolition with band cut into the over 20 different firefly festivals organized by various to operate as across my restaurant. but they differ from this one. doris i lot to offers of loud music bodies every night. barbecue is and camp fires. sound and light pollution from these activities are among the biggest threats to fireflies which need darkness to survive by based ecologist on, on, spend a good has been fighting against us. so far with head from the forest apartments,

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 monthly total troops were taking people firefly for students have 0 understanding of fireflies. they don't know the species, they gives the heater information, they just go to see that. and then they have the thing lights, which i put out. and this is why i that is, you know, that's not going to the 5, a lack of studies and knowledge about fireflies have already left to a significant decline habitat loss due to up and development best decides. and vicky the traffic have also contributed. and this has left a big impact on more species than just fireflies. fireplaces are basically predatory in nature. they are hunters that have this small, but a very important condos in the forest. so they control is the population of the car, dogs that control the population of many other, you know, me, flies and get his flies and several other insect which can become bessler's. so dad,

who owned as best control is very, very large. so any number of, of drop in the number of fireflies can 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 put it there, get that done. if they've been some doris even tried to catch the fireflies them, but we don't allow them to do that. um, folk are nice fireflies the dining and fragile and will immediately die if you catch them. you know, we educate the daughters that the seas will be deals with the shop lights and then i and the beauty of nature is best enjoyed by watching mobile. and then 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 more

conscious stores of the fireflies light can know for a long time to come the or how would you feel if someone gap charge you and put you inside a cage on swords you off against your risk? sounds pretty hardly, right? well, this is something that is frequently done to exotic unprotected animals cross the border illegally. animal smuggling is those yielding w. w. f. estimates that the, in the good bye life played business is a 10000000000 dollar business and it is on the rise. her heart is still in the wild with no can your lives in an enclosure spanish animal shelter near on a counter. the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old, which he has suffered greatly. caregiver, belly die is nursing her back to health. a queen outside, although the she was confiscated from

a private owner who had neglected her the government, she must have been poorly fed from the start of my life. and she's even gone blind, that 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. passenger luggage here that the airports, she's found birds, snakes, and tortoises for another like

it's so sad. left side topic will be so ruthless, people have no problems about tearing these animals from their habitat. told them 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. a full service and in 3 minutes total organized criminals are often behind it up and then 5 ability think as long as you need contacts in the country of origin to find the animals in it and you need a network in europe to import them and they will see all this as a highly profitable business being taken care of, but a monkey, for example, it might cost 5 or 6 years in africa. and here it can fetch 2000 bureaus or more

high level or include so much according to the world wildlife fund. fiscal business is worth billions. sophia says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons. but its impact is underestimated. and she didn't even think of the go as arms trafficking and drug smuggling or taken more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement, wiley and board. if i'm 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. we look at this for the 30s are often overwhelmed and the fight against the exotic animal tried. this with cock, for instance, was probably trafficked from morocco to spain, but the smugglers were able to cover the trucks will do this

a lot. and i like to know, yeah, the dealers are using new technologies, selling the animals on the internet on it. e, a say without service and they avoid detection because they can hide behind anonymous network. so at the new model group within a facility, they even use the dark web guard what the authorities don't have enough specialists to investigate properly. an animals are often rescued when it's too late, as we can you the cloud of leverage the music 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. but 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 farm was 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, deed in pharma, 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 educate 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 up, up on the more the a lot of the now the only difficult thing to the technique is very simple for us to prepare to combust bed and put, got done on it. man of low on the the have to submit it on over and then put monopolies on. don't want to keep it then push it 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 governor also provides the dock space only then let them come up and eat the digest, the organic ways and outcomes to fertilize one. for on the market, there are 2 types of both worlds. native lands and african one addict of the

unified thing in our number. i'll pick them up today is what we use of the optic, an us bombs because the native month, not only the sort of the most oper oper to know what to do, but the after 218 more things and give us a better use of the also multiply very fine, you know, i'm, i think it's not they can model from holding another. i'll think of the 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 for the lives of the sa, but the not 11 the the academy. we typically stop getting to use in 45 to 90 days. so that's why we take it from the doctor and save it to remove any small rocks or 2 weeks on the well, 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 on the pots,

allow us to get all the possible risk on. if we do on give them the passcode i want to put a good deed and has become a successful entrepreneur in audio little small city and dump a lot lately, she has also started teaching them and fond 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 to live though from us and sell it to them, we used to use chemical for the night of those, but now we have switched to will make on post because of that the ground next step because the way that these b and the shoots out onto big and they use a met the is anika letter or this level of 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 government, the full of a low to kind of get to 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 them going to be said that a call being identical from national, reviving the simple traditional method for fertilizing metric a saga dealer and has it don't only be coming on depending on where the 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 are 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. 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 contralto. it 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 as soft to con, 3 a. so base pain of files and then comment. you need any day finding another way as

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 is 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 that would probably be no more or less 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 and 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 of

destroys or carlos stocks and the entire seabed. me to the, for 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. as long 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 incense all over the world. demand in southern europe and asia is especially high. he says it's hard for 4 days 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. a hustler and not one of the consumers may often store the goods in the city. it'd be that with

a capital to notice. then they tried to explore it, not for the classic route is to italy, deputy been witness, but could be that from there, the coral is often transported to destinations as far away as india some moments. but then, as he thought he led 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 cash in on the precious corals which often live hundreds of meters below the surface. jewelry artisan more odd or folly is convinced that all the problems plaguing the coral stem from one thing, humans and their greet you and how to wish and thought of them just like many other species are. corals are dying because we no longer give them time time to grow and develop. simply don't appreciate the treasures of our oceans anymore. so mickey, i think it was, she was you in the door back and told her 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. you remember that story of the doctor and the rabbit? the doctor one that's nice, but it was only able to participate in that race in the 1st place because it wasn't extinct. that's right. see that those 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 touches on for to them back into the sea where they belong. these feet or 2 hot springs have a good chance of surviving etc. pods and lodge bought the 10 a residential present hot, any nearly full 100 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 are within the last 50 years, they have come close to extinction. when we 1st started doing to those guns evasion works and we told people about it, they said, why should we save them? because there is a superstition that saves those bring bad luck of the info, the back on all of the men. but you disregard such notions. oliver ladaja is considered one of the booth because they often get caught in fishing. you just got it near the cost. when i'll make a run, this will tell you the somebody during nesting season, every female returns to me eggs on the same beat it has to go under though i did cut on gotta get to every yard 150 to 200 daughters died just between tonight and the 10 getting paid area, so you can calculate how many daughters must have died in the last 20 years since we started working. so i mentioned the public and my tell you on the porch ending

or calculate funding call. ready the listing season is from december to april. during this time, members of the task force patrol beach is to collect eggs that those of lead. they protect the eggs in fins, areas and when the hatch, the ensure the baby daughters make it to the ocean. avoiding stray dogs and other creditors in on the when they came and asked me if i could join to see the production unit. i don't know yet sort of, but i've never done anything to show my gratitude to the ocean as has ended in that 1st of all, i also being sensitized on how to reduce the harm to daughters. by modifying the nets, they collect up discarded nets to, instead of letting them drift into the ocean. i wonder what it means 1990. i mean, thinking about it on the fisherman's out and i'll put it in the kitchen,

is also fish has always been my going either one. but that happened was, can never compared to the happiness for protecting and releasing the sea turtles into the ocean. because here we are saving lives on the arrive at a new day and a good at the end of my window of the week. i bought them together. they have collected almost 60000 kilograms of gross nets, and don't done to stop any time soon. i is the best to matthew who would imagine what still i'll do as much as the the animals do for us and dogs on it. 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. almost gosh,
