largest miss all the time that you're up to date, but stay with us for a documentary that the vital rolled up fight the role of dial 5 trees in madagascar . interesting stuff, state you in for that mean the team here to take care of the power to kicks in the south china sea wash ships are here what this is supposed to mean. the hoss of the global conflict of to decades of chinese extension is in the nation is resisting with this course of a powerful ally in china. on september 20 the the

new month to with the view left on the should be with the legend to goes. when it, since the death was approaching in the event, the boat was sent out in search of the sturdiest tree in the forest under the moon july looks on the not come and it shows a large hollow bout conformation. what is then labeled web, the old snake had no spring to watch over it, hold on and it would die alone find its h i'm and i'm a guy with dave that instead of slid the ring into

a cave because there are none. here it crawled into a hole. this was where it wanted to spend its last days comfortable. it was drawn to the big dial bags which let light inside them, but that's what made it seek refuge there. and when jan was on the bluff hutch them all about, they catch a bus. once it was safe, the bo regurgitated the diamond that had been carrying on and placed it at the edge of the whole. the stone attracted other animals. so the bola could feed till 2 or 3 animals were enough, pray for it as it was old, not active anymore budding leaves about grab libby. the hang of it was left on the opposite side of it when we see a hollow bough that we don't disturb it, because the old bow with its diamonds lives there might sound like it said that our ancestors saw it. and the chief conser our bell about opposite what the issue was,

the amount of gas. cuz byron west coast lies a fragmented forest, dispersed over an area of more than a 150000 square kilometers. define the laws of nature. this place is a century bustling with life temperatures, he consoled up to 35 degrees celsius, while rain full is extremely red. this tropical drawn a forest is home to the battle back trees. these centuries old giants have massive

trunks, frustrating up their branches towards the heavens. the trees could almost be praying to the clouds for rain. but the babs moved in just trees these of the pillars of an entire eco system and supported diverse and vibrant wild life. the host of mammals depend on them, showing them as a refuge with hundreds of plants, spaces, most of which exist nowhere else on this, the, with the lives of been hanging by a thread, the spaces have become independent or out of necessity then solidarity. a network of mutual dependence enables these living beings to face their environmental challenges. the

both of us play a crucial role in these complex into relationships. and they're especially important in the lives of the sex of people. the majestic trees of the silent guardians of the history they face and the most valuable resource more to the file to them. and they will now it's very hot and dry. here with the funding, there are 3 on this and they the we feed cactus to the z. b use you know,

it's hard to find water. i'm eating this as eve. you can go 5 days without drinking is a higher 3. your life here is hard because there is no water that gets me shit on a lot that can level above that. we use this bound by as a water reservoir and located it ensures that we can survive day to day and the amount that's on tape, let me say is the high hog and then that's our ancestors came up with the idea of

hollowing out valdez. presently, they chose the largest tree property so that it could store a lot of water in this kind of the highs on the of what we use and asked to remove the bark and cut a window into the trunk. then from up here to godaddy, hold, then we hollow out about about possibly 3 what it doesn't harm the tree either from my let me, i'm pulling it, keeps living, i've got lost my task stating that there are 200 to 300 hollowed out. now that someone's out in our village, every family has its own one by me, from the heart technique involved and digging a hole at the base of the bell about me you had the a lot of rain, some water collect there. i missing the will. then as soon as the rain starts, is it the whole family will even at night with

a flashlight model of the head out to filled of alabama. them and then the because we can never know when it will next rain again. oh wait, wait, i'll have a little drink. oh, go ahead and um, do you want some water to? as the heidi, i've got somebody out with water from the ball about our family can survive through the dry season, which lasts over 5 months. the problem is that out in the field model, this bell lab is crucial for our daily lives. we love it because our ancestors hollowed it out. for us, it's a blessing and the problem the value of care then,

and when i die, my children will inherited on 2 of us. the old fluid in the forest ball beds the so received for the not followed out. there also said have specific personalities and magical powers. the majestic to talk to come. so is one of them. this john's name means if you sing on one side of the trunk, you won't be heard on the other. it's one of the thickest trees in the world, the to see

took a concert, use room tobacco, and money less so that nothing happens to us here in under the rain with the baby. to move an 800 year old tree is only 15 minutes tool. it's massive trunk has a staggering circumference of almost 30 maces, topped by a crown of upward 10 branches and towels like a team effort surroundings, with their cases metal gasket, palms, postage plants full seemed to bel before it the the by all that is in many ways the cornerstone of an entire ecosystem. it's formed around it. it attracts many species who are drawn to its leaves, the sweetness of its flowers and the abundance of its fruit.

trees, huge trunk and affluent like crown provides countless hiding places. small mammals and boots seeking shelter. she took a con, so may rain over this forest, but it doesn't rule alone. its trunk is guided by a special, yet indispensable army of ends. these tiny ground where cars live in harmony with the tree, enriching the soil around us and contributing to the smooth functioning of the far as the coast system. at the moment. just brian fisher and a more than just will cuz they have the being hans of this forest true bring us of life. i was a but now it's with other buttons. it was like this infinite rain of ants everywhere. and i was like, who studies these ants, and they said, nobody wants nobody's studying this right there. i stopped studying plants

and began to really explore the world of the hands. you couldn't have a force with our finance. so what is a forest forest? are these things that we recognize as important, but often when you walk into a force you to so attracted to all the green trees everywhere. but that's the green cycle. that's the growth. but to have function equal system, you have to have also the round cycle. and insect, especially in the rule that the brown cycle ants are really this for the engineers in forest and madagascar. the soil entering forces is very deposit and that's why these and quantities are

critical be turned over swirl. so they're moving nutrients and mixing them to a shoes layer of soil, the constant action of for all going out nutrients going out. and that keeps getting mixed up in that mixing up crates. really sort of we could say that without the and the these plants here would not get the water they needed throughout the entire year. course that have water during the rainy season. but the question is how does this revive the dry season? so not only do they turn over sewing holes, but they're also making this world kind of porous, they are creating all these tunnels so that when it does rain, it actually allows that water to sink into the swirl with out that we will not have this rich power diversity that we have here which is learning more more

about this kind of relationship. each of these institutions have with the other species around them, plants or other insects. the so this is a recent snake skin that lives in the nest and the answer tickets out right now. this is thanksgiving. it's amazing. all this must have been taken out maybe yesterday and right now with they're taking out the larger chunks of this like skin . i've never seen this before. this is going to be really interesting to see how and how big this make actually f i, i'm tempted to want the help of them, but they seem to be doing a good job themselves. what's going on here?

why is there a snake skin as well? here, there's an amazing relationship with snakes. these ants are giant, their shoes colonies, the deep tunnels that go into the ground and all of their eggs are there. so if you have a 1000 workers, you have thousands of larva factors, a snake that specializes in getting a larva of n, y to if you can find a way to keep that predator away. well, these ants have done that. there's another snake and even river snake that they're nice to and are friendly with that goes into the next slice. a snake wants to go in there just because of school. it's deep, it's dark, it's human. and that's take live there. and it protects that felony from the predators name that will go in and eat all the larva and that was what we call a mutual. now the local also have realized that there is a relationship between that snake and the ants. and they call that snake the mother

of the and the and that's what kind of really hard for i think she wants to really appreciate is the co dependency whole relationship that happened in a, a real equal system. and we start breaking those processes or breaking those interactions through disturbance because we're cutting trees or making roads. we're not to the point where we realize the more we disturb, the more fragile and the system start following the when you lose, of course, you lose more than just the trees, right? as we lose the trees, we're also losing all those insects. even the hands, madagascar, special vet, each force is protected, area, has its own unique spaces. if we lose that force,

we've lost those pieces. the, the ball by the is essential for the space is the depend upon that. but it's not only providing a refuge for other living beings in this house landscape. the tree itself must fight for survival and has develop some unique strategies to withstand drought. the 1st secretive it's resilience is its trunk. this trunk has little in common with the rigid trunks of other trees. ringback it's fibrous structure acts like a giant sponge, up to 80 percent of the trunk can be both stored felicia, this take bog acts as an installation layer. missing moisture last from some nice. one tree can hold up to a 120000 late as a full shot. this ensures that the ball but can sustain itself during long

drought periods, which can last for years or even decades. the bell, but can even do without one of its basic components. it's leads to is this deliberate sacrifice? the tree minimizes water loss through transpiration via to load up taishan for extended drive periods of the ancient file. bob has developed, others sophisticated, add up taishan strategies as well. the fees, routes are strategically spread out. no more than to meet as deep. in order to capture every possible drop of rain water they haven't skis compared to the ball that's dropped adaptations. office spaces such as this fits the body. chameleon have dispute even more radical survival strategies to avoid being exposed to an

overly harsh environment. this tiny muster camouflage goes so far as to delay the moment if it's on the the tunnel or just frank blue is we're now specialist on this piece, eats into the dry forest where the water is very limited. you have to survive in the dry season. the left body is one of the limits of is the shortest lifetime. among the higher of the to break these spaces spends most of the time in his egg and only a few months as a, as a chameleon. it lives only for a 4 or 5 months before it dies. and this is one

strategy to, to survives the hot hush dry conditions in the dry forest. it's each piece is which of course here has its own strategies to survive. if it would not, has the start of the it would not be here anymore and would have gone next to the is this piece is on not only links, it's has a trees with c, a t, z o g, but also advise they have color ration means this is everywhere and nature, the other species are linked to that environment without the environment is that gives the basic substrate of the life that cannot exist. why? it's hiding no

spaces here. use a kind of flash. so say that means it's a as resend the. the environment as in this, on so that predators have big problems to see them means this can include color and also shape. and also as a behavior, for example, communions is the city among branches, and that is a little bit of wind. they move forward and backwards to imitate the so wins the movement of the branches in the wind. so that makes it very difficult for predators to seize a community. and the

comedians have a limited ability for color change. if you look into the forest, we have round carlos and green color, so both, both are part of the how be tied. so of course you have to decide that coming in has to be side. is it better to imitate the green? i mean, states of brown or imitate mixture of green and brown are dependent on species everywhere in such a forest. so every species is connected to as many as a species they owe from the complete ecosystem. busy the, the ball bad by contrast and doesn't rely on camouflage to survive in medic ask is

dried tropical forest thanks to the chlorophyll in its leaves. it stands out against this backdrop in resplendent green. the pic linda is the foundation for the photo synthesis. that's that whole chemical process by which sun life is kind of the should into sugar essential life giving energy, this elementary, biological process, smell, setting nourishes the tree. it's the starting point of every 2 chain on the, the leaves of the valve, of a fundamental to a whole network of into dependencies, the lease of food, shelter, and a book place for insects who use them for the egg lane. thanks to the magic massages, synthesis, and with the help of the trees roots, the leaves of the bowl above activates an amazing biological pump. the control

hundreds of liters of water off the ground daily. even when the forest is in the course of dry season, the roots channel, the precious fluid up the trunk to the highest branches, supplying the entire tree with moisture and giving it the strength to unfold its blossoms once a year. for a few, scant our, it's the dig jones, and it's fine as to time it presents itself resolutely to the sky as old as the forest. well as what's on the battle, bob sets off the dance of the flying combinations. biologist owns the rest and tomato takes every opportunity she can to observe this captivating natural spectacle in this great symphony of life, every detail is in most every organism, a musician, every interaction, harmony and the complex composition of the tropical drawing forest. they all have

a specific role to play. the the thank you, let me show you. let's see a digital smell look, you've also takes this, well, i'm currently on the lookout for flour, but that will open this evening. click this because file box open the flowers. it does, we need to find out in the morning, was it there i'm, i'm sure that's and hope that was i'm well open in the evening because that way we can watch the bell by calling me because it was, it was me that the people, the little simple, know, these weren't open today, the left slow, the tip of security f bus. good session about bab flowers is very special because they only open for 3 hours and they admit a strong floral sense. hold on and produce a lot of neck to, to attract,

pollinate. as precisely in that window of time, would you need that though? assumable, please see the don't fully will help apps have just 3 hours to ensure the survival. to feed the the sooner the sun is setting. we're waiting for the flowers to open. 1234 through the

plane right here to in the time of it happening today. quite plain. what time is it? white white so that though he's opening at 7 15 pm, when there's a 6 key. yes. not all insects that come to the flowers are actually pollinators. certainly, insects. the also trying to call in can be considered as a search box. others, the ones that connect connect towards the face of the flowers without touching the poland on net to real face will insist on different levels and except left. look,

a lot of allow us are up to 17 who send to meet as long as the poland can only be transferred by insects with a known for boskus that couldn't reach the thing to the flower, choose to connect nectar while simultaneously reaching the pollen phenomena. sofa must have mostly appeared as pulling a test loop up. he'll do me to the losses if this flowing, you know, no, no this one. so this is um huh. mm concept. if your students that have difficult to gather statistics and measuring the tops we use and like try to gather insights, that i can especially mark. so don't want to expect to

some of that on the, on the ground, we can work where around handle the trap. additionally, we can determine the length of the pro boskus and establish a coordination between flowers and pollinators. means that the actual more yeah, more and more areas with file, bob south being the forest data. it's in his danger, in many spc on bullshit is as a level but only for you see bob. bob, standing alone in the middle of rice, little grain feels, even though they should be surrounded by a hole into the system with its inhabitants known as a be time or 2 in the label. beveled labs depend on police intersects to survive back to see, especially if we caught everything down to the full interaction is come to a halt is and it's highly questionable with about perhaps still have

a future beyond this. that was the only issue to the, to, to have to cancel the 800 year old file, but in the heart of the dry tropical forest watches helpless and alone as far as a cleared and the network of interdependencies disappeared. the trees and fruits carries the memory furnished phone just a few centuries ago. elephant, the giant lea moves and giant tortoises federal nets breaking the hot shells and dispersing the seeds, chewing nature needs. this was vital for the trees survival. now climate change and human influence of cost the shadows. these jobs animals have gone extinct. a natural spectacle has come to an abrupt and

j. tucker. kansas still offers its fruit with fine snow, take its who can eat it and help the tree to disperse seats. in the shade of old trees, yellow shoots cannot thrive the high above the ground. more than 10 maces up. the fruit defies gravity for months. when it does full, however, the hot shell doesn't always break open. then protected by the shell, the seeds remain where they are. when the fruit shells finally break, they become a new name is small rodents and in 6 days faced no guest, no matter how hungry can help the ballad that would seem disposal the

ph even without its full my health as the ball but claims to its existence more ruffling, usually none knows how important c disposing animals off the forest. the primatologist specializes in the relationships between plant and animal life. go shave is a when i see a limb or in a tree. you should see myself in the mirror, and then the y as easy as you left for the full day one day, the forest might disappear. a see that's what, and when it disappears, the lemurs will disappear too. and then perhaps i will as well. the old

quote there are $112.00 spaces of lemur, and not a gas. carter. c animal is our national symbol. last year, not as she saw this activity, didn't fully lemurs or the gardeners of the muller gauzy forest furniture for him, always to flee me. i don't know how they prefer approved through vpn affected, but also complement of their diet, with leaves show proceeds, or fund guy i know for a house or dispute. they help spread the forest. ok. so there is a mutual dependence between the forest. a and the lemurs shit this mr. can you guys song play and will be. the lemurs are very mobile and can room for kilometers on the plus mon need for while they're on the move. easily digest the seeds specs, create them the queen and distribute them. ok, that it was was for an animal to be considered to disperse or who because it must

move see more than 100 meters away from the mother plant. so 1640 we did this prevents the competition between the mother plant and the young shoots or said to the bank. and i said, you can tell right away when an animal is about to deprecate. all while you see the updated people, we try to collect the fees as quickly as possible. i feel that it doesn't get contaminated by bacteria on the ground. i knew that you'd be at a good street, so we collect it immediately and safely me crazy. i thought for the researchers, this pcs is worth its weight in gold. please don't call me at all or the law, you know, there are 06 seats. he's claim the district. if you don't see that in the show on the state, and there's a clear connection between the size of the fruit and the size of the animal, i like an animal with the largest golf, i guess can swallow larger pieces would see like isaac,

i mean it was 11 the show and there was also a correlation between chewing strength and the hardness of the fruit. the sheep on buddy take the bell about the animals with weak chewing power can not break the shell of the bell about fruit to cook the bone. but all the above, above the you could say the bell bombs have become orphan sized because they have lost their c disperse service. here they are in real danger and will play on those the lucky positive bobo. so categories here to the soul, most val babs, are found near fields and villages. so no one spreads the bell. bab seeds any more safe to impose. yet some believe that livestock and humans could help spread bell bottoms the bulb up to the more you quickly. there's all the

plants, heavily dependent on assistance from the animal will to spread of all the solar tre valve the weights to the new disperse has to come. it finds a silent but loyal companion in its own shadow. the wide spreading shadows surround the tree with the sun. like a dense, the wind is cooling, shade, living creatures, seek refuge from the heat, the shade loving crosses and

shrubs. some sold nutrients from the decomposition of fall back leads to the the tree shapes the landscape. and influence has the face of the plants, the grow with its face. the is the last in some places these giants a little more than ghosts of the past. remnants of a long vanished forest still and silent witnesses to human activity. their imposing size and fibrous would without real market value, protect them. but they were unable to complete the reproductive cycle. so human beings have begun to try to take the place of the vanished sea, disperses and revise the network of mutual dependencies. hello,

harrison is one of them and he has no stories. he wants to sow the seeds as a new hopeful future of the real zone. when you some folks to to save the forest, you have to teach children to protect. it means that there's a tons of ways from primary school onwards connect in the house. i mean my name please. do you have to stamp the bag down several times to fill it properly? i pull, pull to my loan. so for the field for yourself and see, ma'am, i'm going to meet the drive forest motto is you go faster alone and you go further together. model closer to the loft

the day. why do we still above seats in water? i don't want to long as they become moist and soft me. that's right. the we're starting to dig. now when we do deep every one and a half meters. and so on the same level after you've dug, you have to plant the tree immediately.

my top is a for you to learn more people understand that we need to protect the forest and the environmental, but they also need to eat every day can yeah, but this much it's for the forced to destroy the forest with the slash and burn tactics to make the soil fertile and cultivate except for, you know, i've done use that costs for the one me as of one tv, everyone has to realize that preserving dry forest brings much more in the long run than destroying them. for them are kind of in a few months how to

find that you can miss bell. bob makes me happy. so i said it's like touching future generations. okay, cool. the escape a lot of people in the room when you're done come here. you're out the window, so say what do you have to do for this and protect die? that's right. i know your parents do the same thing like what not available, you know, funded by monday night or one. i will not have a bring you into the world, raise you and protect you. okay. not a problem. finding the site understandable? yes. the new the new, my zillow site,

the season a salad. that's what i wish for matt, a gas guy for us to create like nature and i tend to not destroy like humans with the

rug, the environment. trends, technologies come is digitalization, stall, tops, new market, new media. the world is accelerating. the use the opportunities to try new things. take flights would be that we use business magazine made in germany in 30 minutes on the w and serve the conflicts own with sarah kelly. recurring says that a recent incursion into russian territory has made

a mockery of fruitless red lines, and that the west should go haul in to help when the war. i discuss the options with a finished foreign minister, alina about tony, thanks for having me. so have a cc, the prospect of turning the side in versus invasion of ukraine. conflict in 19 minutes on d. w. the . so you don't think and feel the same way you expect. and one different thing in some lines from your parent. i just want to pursue what that's nice on fire or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable stuff. i want my son to become

a doctor to indicate it's time to and then when generation nash b, w documentary the, this is the w news, and these are our top stories. us president joe biden says he would not support in his riley attack on a runs nuclear program. but he said the us would back what he called a proportionate response to iran's largest ever missile strike on his ro is riley army says some of its air bases were hit in the sold, but no major damage was caused. 11 on the health ministry says at least 46 people were killed in dozens of others wounded in his riley strikes on wednesday . israel's ministry says it has destroyed a more than a 150 sites used by the around proxy has.
