to these places in europe smashing the wrinkled step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin globetrotters. describe it as some of us wriggled, begging sites on youtube and also into the we often forget that this planet does not belong just to us. it is also shared 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 has. 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 tiny specks of light 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 as a community our tribal community in the west and state of my head astra. which is trying to do something to help save these fireflies and work on the 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 flights as in waits on the ground,

male fly around lighting up the sky and looking for the pulse like made. the one man who was very invested in this phenomenon is almost but what i've done and then to monitor just the fire flavor, basically the beatles. ok, a little bit of all the flavors that actually beat those that a few please just on this planet, communicate with the light signal. so firefly, either one of these naturalists phenomenon has done it to a popular tourist attraction, organize must be a campsite. 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 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. it 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 90 take. got some of the, the full, not me, i know, but it, i've done this on the eva. so 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 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 like festivals in my head, i start our cause for concern among why life was the firefly, 51 of a lot of going to have of that back to this in the view of picking good photos they

need to be made aware of that. what you see on the plan, you're gonna need the mean when you walk and you have the plan for the killing a 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 as 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, light 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. we've had from the forest 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 by the thoughts as to that is, you know, that's not going very far. a lack of studies and knowledge about fireflies have already led to a significant decline habitat loss due to oven development. best decides, and vehicles of traffic have also contributed. and this has left a big impact on more species than just fireflies. fireplace are basically predatory in nature. they are hunters that have this small, but the 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 get his flies and several other insect which can become bessler's. so dad

ruled 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 beat and species, the polluters, while 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 bought it 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 focus on these fireflies, the dining and fragile and will immediately die if you catch them. you know, we educate the daughter is that the seas will be deals with the short legs when i and the beauty of nature is best enjoyed by watching and then to 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 so how would you see if someone captured you? i'm put you inside a cage and sold you off against your really sounds pretty hardwood, right? well this is something that is frequently done to exotic, unprotected, on the move cross border, illegal animal smuggling. is the g o t w w f estimates that'd be in the good by life trade business is a 10000000000 dollar business and it is on the rise. her heart is still in the wild. but now can you live within an enclosure in a spanish animal shelter near a counter. the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old, but she has suffered greatly caregiver billy die is nursing her back to health, a queen outside although the 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. 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 units, passenger luggage here that the airports, she's found birds, snakes, and torches. for the

kids. so sad. the left side topic will be so ruthless. people have no chromes 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 arising 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. and then by ability, think of some of the things 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 seal this as a highly profitable business being taken care of. but if a monkey, for example, it might cost $5.00 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, this global business is worth billions. so if you're the says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons, but it's impact is underestimated a to dinner. and i think all that i'm also going to go to as arms trafficking and drug smuggling are taking more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement, wiley, and what about the legal animal trafficking is just a serious, but it isn't seen a search. 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 trafficked from morocco to spain, but the smugglers were able to cover the trucks will daily sell out. and i'd like

to know. yeah, the dealers are using new technologies, selling the animals on the internet on a single that service. they avoid detection because they can hide behind anonymous network. so the new model get bored enough for 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 you the cloud of leverage the fact that they lost the yellow cheese 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 with it so. so either this legal trade makes, can you spend money or the 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 the 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 soil. and then also key to maintaining the biodiversity under the ground don't be scared of what. 7 for all of so i need to be held. the 3rd ones are really necessary. azako deed, in a farm up from the village and audio lou isn't making natural for the light to using these are the moms. and what is the thing about deana? what's i, oh, not a bit of going that, 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 i will make on 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 long this taken it from here. you're the goddess, is 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 behalf of vetted on over. i'm been put but not a leaves on don't want to keep it, then push it down. we've been wanting to add for 15 days and it becomes soft like a bunny, which is how the rooms prefer to eat a muddy and around this optimum. the governor also provides the dock space for the dental problems come up and eat. does the organic ways and outcomes to fertilize $14.00, on the market. there are 2 types of both worlds. native lands and african one

addict of the unified thing, and number i'll pick them up today is what we use of the optic, an us bombs because the native months, 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 they also multiply very far, you know, i'm, i guess not, they can modify the optic or 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 fertilize the saw, 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 top 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 part of the largest of the auto

nipple. so that was kind of we did on give them the passcode on it was 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 alarms and produce, let me come, falls to using their fields so far in room and 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, will make on posting since i have some land and resources when she gets orders from customers. she says she will by default 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 me from post because of that the ground next step. because the way that these the, and the shoots out onto big and then use up at the bottom of the is an artist level thing. and i'm also the one that most of my orders come from

people who have dentist gardens and people who own body feet. they mostly live in bungalow and tonight. but i also shipped on places in time and not the full of a lower kind of predict that since you started a business and the $29.00 p, as the ends have increased the study she sense of what the life of we'll have the practice of the kind of an old entity in the this is on the, on the homeless month, 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 corner. we said that a call being identical from the shall, reviving the simple traditional method for fertilizing metric a saga dealer and as adult when you become an entrepreneur with a work, she's also protecting the and want 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 productions among them on a rising sea temperatures. what a pollution several home for pushing methods. i'm the biggest to for in the, the lead, often headquarters 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 totally del, could 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 i'm manufacturer is, 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 katasha though, 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 are very soft to con, 3 a. so base pain of files and then comment. you need any day finding 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 is slow. local residents tell us 90 percent of the shops of closed because there's no more coral available. say 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 as a shortage, already makes it unaffordable for people here and they need to have no money. who can afford top polity, co jewelry that maybe artists or business people them. that's it. for years selling boots out, 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, there's a lot of legal fishing going on and that creates huge problems for is because it

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 method will destroy all the habitats around it is kept because good, you know the high is on drop, as you know, he loads up the carl is lost. the only one kilo ends up being costs as, as almost to answer fast. 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 of 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. how slow knots when stuff is in. they often store the goods in the city, a be that with

a capital to notice possible. then they try to exported not the classic route is to italy, deputy, but in this but 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, placing the coral stem from one thing, humans and their greed you and how to wish and thought of the 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. and 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 in 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 to our toes and push them back into the sea where they belong. these feet or 2 hot springs have a good chance of surviving etc. pods and launch bought for 10, a residential present hot. i mean i nearly 400 fishermen. that's what on a task force along 700 kilometers of the east coast. all my government,

a dinosaur defeated lando does have many 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 worked, 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. oliver ladaja is considered one of the booth because they often get caught and fishing. you just got it near the cost. when i'll make the vendor will say the summer during this thing, season every female withdrawal and still need eggs on the same page. it has to go under though i did kinda gotta get to the 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. 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 the protect the eggs in fenn videos 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 to 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 1st of all, i also being sensitized on how to reduce the harm to go to this by modifying then that's the collect up discarded, let's do. instead of letting them drift into the ocean, i wonder what amino and now wonder that a i mean what are you more this on the fisherman kitchens or sufficient or if it's

been my going either one that happened, this can never compared to the happiness, but protecting and releasing the sea turtles into the ocean, because here we are saving lights on the arrive at a, in a good at in my one daughter. we've got both of them together. it'd be half collected, almost 60000 kilograms of goes notes, and don't done to stop any time. so is 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,
