new month with the view left on the should be with the legend to goes, when it, since the death was approaching the event, the boat was set out in search of the sturdiest tree in the forest and the moon july looks on the not come and it shows a large hollow, bound up glass. what mission, what does an label but the old snake had no spring to watch over it. hold on and it would die alone find its h i'm and the guy with
6:17 pm
a is uh 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. probably as low as drawn to the big dial bags, which let light inside the moon, but that's what made it seek refuge there. i'm going gentle, isn't a laugh at your mom about the the tape is once it was safe, the bow of regard to tainted the diamond. it had been carrying on and placed it at the edge of the hole. the stone attracted other animals. so the bola could feed till 2 or 3 animals were enough, pray for it as it was old and not active anymore, validating the weeds about grab libby. the hang of it was a cough, lots of miles away. ready when we see a hollow bell that we don't disturb it because the old bow with its diamonds lives there and it's sad that our ancestors saw it, and the cheese cancer,
6:18 pm
our bell about opposite what i thought was an issue which is the unmet 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 rent on this topic will draw as far as it is
6:19 pm
home, to the bell back trees. these centuries old giants have massive trunks preferring up their branches towards the heavens. the trees could almost be praying to the clouds for rain. but the babs move and just trees these of the pillars of an entire ecosystem and support a diverse and viper wild life. the host of mammals depend on them, showing them as a refuge with hundreds of plant 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
6:20 pm
valve of display a crucial role in these complex into relationships and are especially important in the lives of the sacraments of people. the majestic trees of a silent guardians of the history, the face of the most valuable resource, or to the file to them. and they will now it's very hot and dry here. if you with a problem. now 3
6:21 pm
on this and i the we feed cactus to the z use you know, it's hard to find water. i'm eating this as if 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 by that we use this val bob as a water reservoir and located it ensures that we can survive day to day and the amount
6:22 pm
that's on tape let me say, is the high did on that's our ancestors came up with the idea of hollowing out, val, babbs was the name. they chose the largest tree property so that it could store a lot of water in fish on the highs on the all for we use an axe to remove the bark and cut a window into the trunk. then from up to the hold. then we hollow out the valve, um we would, 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 you had the a lot on it. rains water collect there. i missing
6:23 pm
a lot of them. as soon as the rain starts, is it the whole family will even at night with a flashlight, the 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, i'll have a little drink. oh, good luck and um, do you want some water to? as the heidi, i've got somebody out with water from the back of our family can survive through the dry season on which lasts over 5 months. the, at the bottom of that out in the field model, this bell map is crucial for our daily lives. we love it because our ancestors hollowed it out. for us, it's
6:24 pm
a blessing and the problem they've got to give them enough. when i die, my children will inherited and 2 of us, the old fluid in the forest bol babs, just so reviewed. 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 of this one is the thickest trees in the world.
6:25 pm
the to see took a concert, use room tobacco in money less so so that nothing happens to us here in under the rain with the baby to move in each 100 year old tree is only 15 minutes tool. it's massive trunk has a staggering circumference of almost 13 nations topped by a crown of up with 2 branches and towels like a king effort surroundings, with their case use metal gasket palms. postage plants full seem to bel before it 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,
6:26 pm
the sweetness of its flowers and the abundance of its fruit. trees huge trunk and 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. it's trunk is guided by a special, yet indispensable army of ends. these tiny ground where cause live in harmony with the tree, enriching the soil around us, and contributing to the smooth functioning of the forest ecosystem. for at the moment, just brian fisher and i'm more than just work it's. they have the being hans of this forest. true, bring us of life. i was a but i was with other bundles it was like, this is when it reign of ants everywhere. and i was like, who studies these ants and they said nobody wants nobody's studying this. and right
6:27 pm
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 they have function equal system. you have to have also the round cycles and insects, especially in the rule that the brown cycle ants are really the soil engineers in forest and madagascar
6:28 pm
the soil entering forces is very deposit and that's why these and call these are critical be turnovers for oh, so they're moving nutrients and mixing them to a shoes layer of soil. the constant action of ford going out nutrients going out, and that keeps getting mixed up and not mixing up crates. really, sorry. we could say that without the ends 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 to survive the dry season. so not only do they turn over sewing holes, but they're also making this world kind of porous they, they're 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 about diversity that we have here which is learning more more
6:29 pm
about this kind of relationship you to 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 their taking out the larger chunk. so this next, and 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 to help them, but they seem to be doing
6:30 pm
a good job themselves. what's going on here? why is there a snake skins? well, here, there's an amazing relationship with snakes. these ants are joining their shoes colonies, the deep tunnels that go into the ground and all their eggs are there. so if you have a 1000 workers, you have thousands of larva factors, a snake that specializes in eating a larva of and why do 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 it's cool. it's deep, it's dark, it's humid and that's take live there. and it protects that falling from the predators that will go in and eat all the alarm. and that was what we call a new to us. now the locals also have realized that there is this relationship
6:31 pm
between that snake and the hands. and they call that snake the mother of the and the, and that's what's kind of really hard for i think she wants to really appreciate is the co dependency co 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,
6:32 pm
madagascar special that each force is protected area has its own unique spaces. if we lose, that force is lost as pieces the . the ball by the is essential for the space is the depend upon this. 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. this so secretive it's resilience is its trunk. this trunk has little in common with the rigid trunks of other trees. 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
6:33 pm
a full shot. this ensures that the ball but can sustain itself during long draft 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 this deliberate sacrifice. the tree minimizes was the last 3 transpiration via to load up taishan for extended drive periods of the ancient file. bob has developed other sophisticated patient strategies as well. the fees, routes are strategically spread out, no more than 2 meters deep. in order to capture every possible drop of rain water they have in skis. compared to the ball, babs draft adaptations of a species such as this fits the body. chameleon have dispute even more radical
6:34 pm
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 baton to just frank to it's a renounce specialist on the speech eats in the dry forest with the water is very limited. you have to survive in the dry season. the left body is one of the estimates was the shortest lifetime and modeling a higher of the to the rates. these spaces spends most of the time in his egg and only a few months as a, as a chameleon. it lives only for 4 or 5 months before it dies.
6:35 pm
and this is one strategy to is to survive the hot hush dry conditions in the dry forest. or each piece is which of course here has its own strategies to survive. if it would not have the strategy, it would not be here anymore and would have gone next to the species on not only links, it's has a trees with c, a t z ology. but also advise the color ration. mimi is, is everywhere and nature. the other species are linked to that environment without the environment is that gives the basic substrate of their life. they can not exist,
6:36 pm
it's hiding no spaces here use a kind of flash. so say that means that says resend the, the environment whereas in this on. so is that the predators have big problems to see them means this can include color and also shape, and also has a behavior. for example, of convenience. is the city among branches and is a little bit of wind. they move forward and backwards to imitate is a so wins the movement of the branches in the wind. so that's makes it very difficult for predators to seize a community. and the
6:37 pm
comedians have a limited ability for color change. if you look into the forest, we have brown carlos and green color. so both, both are part of the how big that. so of course you have to decide to come in and has to decide, is it better to imitate the green? i may take the brown or imitate mixture of a green and brown are dependent on species everywhere and set you forth. so every species is connected to as many as a species they owe from the complete ecosystem. busy the,
6:38 pm
the ball by contrast and doesn't rely on camouflage to survive in medic ask is dry tropical forest thanks to the chlorophyll in its leaves. it stands out against this backdrop in resplendent green. the pigment is the foundation for photo synthesis. that's that whole chemical process by which sun life is kind of should into sugar, essential life giving energy, this elementary biological process, most of the nourished is the tree. it's the starting point of every food chain on the, the leaves of the bell bed, a fundamental to a whole network of interdependencies the lease of food, shelter and a book place for insects who use them for the airplane. thanks to the magic massages, synthesis, and with the help of the trees roots,
6:39 pm
the leaves of the bell 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 out us the challenge and it's fine as to time it presents itself resolutely to the sky as old as the forest. well, as watch on the battle, bob sets off the dance of the flying combinations. biologist owns the rest and tomatoes, 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,
6:40 pm
every interaction, harmony in the complex composition of the tropical drawing forest. they all have a specific role to play of the, the thank you let. she'll tell you, let's see, i do both will look you've awesome fix as well. i'm currently on the lookout for flower, but that will open this evening. click this because about that's open the flowers and task more. we need to find out in the morning was this era mature 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 one day open today, the left relative will by the tip of security f bus. good session about bab flowers is
6:41 pm
very special because they only open to 3 hours and they admit a strong floral sense and produce a lot of neck to, to attract, pollinate as precisely in that window of time. would you need that though? assumable christy don't feel a little help apps have just 3 hours to ensure the survival look to see if the, the sooner the sun is setting, we're waiting for the flowers to open. 1234 through the
6:42 pm
opening right here to or the time was quite plain. what time is it? white white so that though he's opening at 7 15 pm when there's a sec t. yes, not the full insects that come to the flowers are actually pollinators. certainly, insects, the also trying to call in can be considered as a search box office. the one is that connect connect to her at the face of the flowers without touching the poland on to real fast lens. it's on different levels
6:43 pm
and makes the left look a lot of flowers are up to 17. you centimeters long. good. the poland can only be transferred by insects with a known for boskus that couldn't reach deep into the flower. choose to connect, connect to, while simultaneously reaching the pon, sofa must have most k a does pull in a test loop up. he'll do me to tell us this. is this flower new? no, no, no. this one. so it's called safety for students that have difficult to gather statistics and they've trained tops when you use a light truck to gather insights that can especially mark so don't want to expect
6:44 pm
to move out on the ground. we can work well 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 val babs helping the forest. it was, it's in his danger, in many spc on bullshit is, are simple, but only for you see bob, bob standing alone in the middle of where i saw a grain feels even though they should be surrounded by a ho, into the system with its inhabitants. the only that'd be done by 2 in the label bubble baths depend on police intersects to survive back to see especially if we caught everything down to pull. interaction is come to
6:45 pm
a halt and it's highly questionable with about perhaps still have a future beyond this. that was the only issue to the, to test the cancer, the 800 year old valve up in the heart of the dry tropical forest, which is helpless and alone as far as the cleared. and the network of interdependencies disappears. the, the trees and fruits carries the memory furnished phone a just a few centuries ago. elephant the giant lima is an giant tortoises fed on this breaking the hot shells and dispersing the seeds during their journeys. this was vital for the trees survival. now climate change in human influence of cost the shadows. these jobs animals have gone extinct. a natural spectacle
6:46 pm
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 mil. for lame is small rodents, and in 6 today's faced no guest, no matter how hungry can help the bell that would seem disposal the
6:47 pm
ph even without its full. my health is 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. coach schafer, and when i see a lemur in a tree, you should see myself in the mirror, and the y you left for the for a 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.
6:48 pm
ok, there are $112.00 spaces of lean or another gas. carter. c animal is our national symbol. last to a lot of, of the sort these activities that are fully lemurs or the gardeners of the mulligan, the forest for his, you fall in moist if we may have going on. they prefer approved through vpn effect, but also complement to their diet, with leaves that seem to show proceeds, or fund guy. i know for a how shoot this because they help spread the forest. ok. so there was a mutual dependence between the forest a and the lemurs shape this best or the, the limit is shown, claim will be, the members are very mobile and can room for kilometers on the plus mode for a while. they're on the move, easily digest the seeds specs,
6:49 pm
greet them clean and distribute them. ok. and that it was why or an animal to be considered to disperse or who could, must move seed more than 100 meters away from the mother plant. besides 1640 did. this prevents the competition between the mother plant and the young shoots or said to the bank. i said, you can tell right away when an animal is about to deprecate all why you said the updated police. but we tried to collect the fees as quickly as possible. i feel that it doesn't get contaminated by bacteria on the ground. i new to keep it in good shape. so we collect it immediately and see if we have more crazy thoughts for the researchers on this piece. these is worth its weight in gold to produce on performing all a lag here and there are 06 seats. claim if you don't see the show on the line, i think there's a clear connection between the size of the fruit and the size of the animal. i like
6:50 pm
an animal with the largest sauce, 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. but it takes about animals with weak chewing power, cannot break the shell of the bell about fruit to cook the bone. but it's all predict. because the above, above the, you could say that bell bombs have become orth incisive because they have lost their see despair service here. they are in real danger and will play on those the lucky probably be po box. so that could easy to the soul. most val babs, are found near fields and villages. so no one spreads the battle. bab seeds anymore . 6, the impulse get some believe that live stock and humans could help spread bell bottoms
6:51 pm
the bowl. but the more you could please is all the plants heavily dependent on assistance from the animal will to spread of all the solar tre valve. the weights for the new disperse has to come, is fine to silent, but loyal companion. in its own shadow. the wide spreading shadows surround the tree with the sun. like a dense, the in this cooling shade, living creatures seek refuge from the heat. the
6:52 pm
shade loving crosses and shrubs of soul. nutrients from the decomposition of fall back leads to the the tree shapes the landscape and influence as the face of the plants, the grow which at space. the notion of the last. in some places these giants a little more than the 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 are unable to complete the reproductive cycle.
6:53 pm
so human beings have begun to try to take the place of the vanished sea, disperses and revise the network of mutual dependencies. harrison is one of them and he has no stories. he wants to serve receipts as a new hope for future of the real is only some folks that want to save the forest. you have to teach children to protect. it means that there's a tons of ways from primary school onwards clinical. and then i'll send me a 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 filling for yourself and see ma'am, i'm going to meet the dr. forest motto is, here you go. faster alone and you go further together. model closer to the
6:54 pm
6:55 pm
you have to plant the tree immediately. lots of places a for you to learn more. people understand that we need to protect the forest and the environment, but they also need to eat every day can yes, the but it's much. it's for forced to destroy the forest with the slash and burn tactics to make the soil fertile and cultivated except the new identities that costs the new one. as of one tv, everyone has to realize that preserving dry forest brings much more in the long run
6:56 pm
than just drawing them from them. are coming out of too much how to find that you can miss bell. bob makes me happy. so it's like touching future generations. okay, cool. the sure. let's get a lot of people in the room when you're done come here. you're also going to go to what do you have to do for this month? protect guy. that's right. i got both your parents do the same thing like what not to be a we, you know, funded by monday night or one. i will not have a bring you into the world, raise you and protect you and not me. i will find them safe, understandable? yes. the, the,
