as for the moment coming up next thought, filled with it's the time is on rain for us and takes a closer look at the majestic couple feet that's coming off off to the break and finish strategy invalid. and thanks so much for watching. go back again with the news in about 45 minutes from now. let's see you then, to by the, i sorry, one on 6 times to please come and see more people than ever on the move worldwide in such an one. great timing question is very hard to say very difficult to find out about time on student info microns. the good

model gwinnett could do with an ancient twine. yana legend says that in the middle of the amazon is the largest in cape puck tree that has ever existed airport. yeah, yeah. yeah, so that's good. that's a family of joint egos. build the nest on top of mass. good people in a one day to while you on a warriors decided to catch a young. you go to prove the courage. nice to get the huge letter. but only one of the. com a lot. the courage to climb up, all right, and that the fear when he reached the top out of jealousy, his friend took the matter away, contending and with a certain death. no. anyway,

just by skip yet on. when are you only goes? parents returned, they found to worry, are you going to meet the father? he looked at him for a long time and said, you have come to steal our daughter for one. cause you show me your wife and you shall become an eagle. williams is accused of america mulroy, the several days the birds talked to worry or how to hunt and share their knowledge of the forest wake. but by little, the warrior transformed into an eagle motor enough to put the ticket now access to secret knowledge of the forest animals and to use the healing powers of plants already now to build houses or bows from trees and how to move around and hunt and the forest of one group. yeah, yeah. it became part of the forest. yeah, i mean, what if what i woke up quite a few decided to teach it. this is learned to the one yanna and thanks to him,

this animal wisdom was passed on to humans. a motive. today's spirit still lives at the top of the cape pump tree and watches. over a world we have the the, the amazon basin is home to the world's mind, east river and largest contiguous tropical rain forest. it stretches over around 7000000 square kilometers. close to the size in australia. it's one of the most bio diverse places on earth. we thousands of animal implants, species and it's ecosystem. the rain forest is a kind of super organism. became paltry, holds a prominent position in this network, providing sunlight and shelter for an entire community of plants and animals for the indigenous way on our people in french deanna, the cape of treat embodies the soul of the forest. and more, it's

a living canvas that tells of the origins of the world and the spiritual guide accompanying people on their journey through life. the way out of the cape up tree is shrouded in legend for the way yanna that represents the spiritual connection between people in the forest. this tree deserves the respect that to get to what i need then import the items don't put. the paper tray is a majestic might to tree the largest tree and the forest towers over to kinda be like no other level and not have to be good for

me. this is the most beautiful tree in the world. smile its on the, from its roots is very soft and easy to work with. is the one that plays to them? no, its beauty inspires the way yada. and they use it's in their traditional art. i submitted a mess. yeah. this one is perfect. the distributive so put copy of them you into the people that i mean, i mean if you want to remove a piece of a tree, you have to connect with that spirits and ask it's permission to focus on the head of respect for the tree and the forest around is that was so like, was it cutting the phone with me today and taking a piece of wood from the tree to make

a roof disc of another one. i have done bob telling me, do i want the money? i want to protect the village and its people from evil spirits. my grandfather taught me how to do this. i'm gonna put him on his artwork and the knowledge from our ancestors, given me inspiration, really getting quickly on one. so i got the model is much easier to pick both the history of the people and the magical forest animals. let's get it symbolized the connection between humans and us, walter and sky. together they protect the community by preventing evil spirits of diseases from entering the village. we don't look like

the only thing my grandfather was often se linux we live in the forest, but the forest doesn't need us to live. what i wait for the way yanna in french deanna. the cape puck is sacred, in part because paper tree gives the impression of being able to reach up to the heavens. a veritable giant among giants. this tree stands some 50 meters tall. the k box can live up to 500 years and belong to the middle of a plan family. during infancy, they grow at a dizzying pace of 4 meters per year in a frantic race towards the light, the once bait in the sun's rays. the tree slowly but

surely unfurls the branches of its monumental crown, which has a span of 25 meters. this has no selfish giant. it place host to a range of climbing and aerial boot, plants nestling and its branches to capture the light. the, the gate thought tree is a suspended garden and refuge for a multitude of species that could not exist without it the, the, its trunk up to 4 meters thick act as a natural elevator. a letter to the light. in this vertical corridor, a new dynamic of mutual dependencies and change of interaction, a merge a myriad of creatures, hunting each other,

imitating each other, communicating with each other, and reproducing some species are there only 4 stop over others have been permanent residents for decades. and every species, every animal has its own entourage of creatures that is attract transports or even supports. this is the case with from many ads which make a home on the tree and become themselves a foundation for another fascinating microcosm. saline, the one from the french national center for scientific research studies, the mysterious interactions between plants, insect, and micro organisms the light source and invisible link weaving them together

water the very fully i'm as one in the amazon rain forest is chris crossed by countless streams that flow into rivers, there is a lot of running water here, but there are hardly any standing bodies of water like lake so ponds. now for they do exist, but they have taken on a different form for at 1st all you see is a pump. but deep inside the leaves is well teeming with life. yeah, that's the plastic you promptly. this is an epa. citric account from the for me and family se . unlike other terrestrial punts it's root. planing on some sole board,

that's what it's up to cling to the trunk of branches of the supporting tree when you will just from the plant feeds itself through its lean simple, you don't have plants left watson. well, you can see that they form a kind of follow the walk and phone know, consult, dumpling was i see the keep up when it rains isn't to walk well, to drop the gather in the center of the pond along with organic matter that falls from the kind of p again long whose key is pump lives exclusively on what it collects its reservoir, dogs, and with a screening room. the lloyd, any new appraisal on both securities, i want to put on the table media. the media does the only kind of plans and the well capable of absorbing water in minerals through its leaves. the curious fluid he knew suspend service original strategy has enabled a whole bio diversity of organisms to develop organisms that would not exist without the phone. but off it's not up on the

screen. when does what interest us about these accounts is the diversity of organisms inside the least for us that we want to understand the complex interactions at the heart of these cons. printer results of the water and make ups of patients, and that's why we discover many welds and themselves on the if it was thursday the, there's close, but also many aquatic organisms we might find funky, but tyria or alkie again, also an array of micro organisms that could be described as zoo clank tone,

or find tube tank tone so comparable to what we find in the ocean. if it was always, then there are mosquito ralphie and love you flying insects. so tracking flies and damsel flies and beetle lobby to various organisms play a key role for the plant. but yeah, well there are lobby that decompose the dead leaves, releasing nutrients that are then available to the plant. when you pull it up to diminish pigs on gets a magnificent example of inter dependence and interactions between different species. because the plant provides a habitat for aquatic organisms, which in return provide food for the pont 20. so medical vesman with you these natural fresh water microsystems plan, potent roles that you had on hold from them on time scale, not lose to, to mosquito lobby, hatch that and feed on nectar, as adults as well. passively pollinating the plants as they feed the rack and flies

and ton prey on other insects to regulate the populations in the forest sooner than expected to see for the visually produce a beautiful song playing extremely important role in presenting the rain forest during the dry season. bro meily as our floating life giving water reservoirs. but for the rest of the year, the phone and flora usually have to contend with excess water. in some places, up to 2000 of leaders of rain can fall per square meter every year. to counteract the massive amount of water softening the soil, the cape poverty has had to adapt the

huge buttress root anchorage to the ground and keep it from toppling over the above ground. they grow up to 8 meters high and 12 meters wide. that wide base helps to distribute it's enormous weight of several 100 tons across the larger area, the in addition to stabilizing the tree. this elaborate route architecture is the result of its adaptation to the amazon to city and nutrient poor solely on the. instead of going deep, the cape tree goes wide, making use of the top soil rich in organic matter. in the nodules at a through the cape, bob has developed symbiotic relationship with the meanest your organisms. bacteria, which convert nitrogen from the air into absorbable nutrients. even when the roots

of the cape artery are flooded, they retain their nutrients supply. their cells expand to facilitate gas exchange, and form larger feeding channels. the water influence is life throughout the forest. for certain species, the rainy season offers an opportunity for mixing and mingling the in this corner of the world. fish sometimes take on the role of gardner sandra korea, associate professor of aquatic ecology at mississippi state university,

is an expert on the surprising and important interaction between the world of water and the world of trees. what effects me and last about almost the complexity of interactions that are happening the amount of his pieces are only in terms of the one that i have been studying for 20 years now. interaction with fish and for the in the amazon dream, ford is the assessing new safety in the pollution of fluids with the rain system.

when these rings, then all the fluids, the 1st rising. and that is really interesting because done means it attracts a low to finding months that depend on those 4 force but many of those flu, that's totally fine. when they find the water that are consumed by fish and when they them, they carry them away. and the process is called c, disperses the fish have very little diet, so they can be eating fluids, but also flowers or the earnings. what he seems to have done is to see the proportions of those, the, for them, food type this. this is a fish from the,

from me this the 1st time you see the, placing the coffee know for diagnose. but instead of eating flesh should be the highest specialized food. eating fish is going to be really interesting to flush just so much and see what the fish are need in the you can that so the, so these are pretty fresh may seem like you were needing this morning to for, to the he's a very important source so can you transfer fish because they have sugars, the collision center due for the fish is consuming most vehicle.

and then the seed is going to pass intact. like when we the tomato, we don't must because then the seats fussing tucked through the just keep track to things those things and then the fish difficult to far away the, the freshwater fish diversity is the great this in the work, you know, most sony so that about 12250 spaces, the fish, you know, most sonya, the flute. and well, we have fun so far. the scene some cases up to half of the species of threes that are producing fluids seen in this ring. see, so are these 1st by fish, which is a new press if divers, the, the, the, the rain season,

the lesson is very strong, and those very drastic rainfall causes flooding. so that means that the mean china loved the river becomes connected with a smaller screens inside the port is on. all the students to florida is is completely flooded. i'm becomes one with the rates, the so slow, the fish move inside of those forties and then they can throw up the seats anywhere the as soon as it was level falls on the soil and twice. then the

jeremy nation took your instance on. so you will see carpets of c that is 3rd jeremy nadine really fast because they have a very short period of time to become a stablish the for the why there is 3rd rice. anything for the trees is very, as i'm things rules that are fish actually the flow because it allows them to basically cold on ice new area onyx and the range of distribution. the so it's not just a fish the phone on the furnace for food and high. we've done the for as a friend from the fish, the fish actually month painting think they're going to be on the biodiversity of the forest, or the long term. nice. perhaps one of the all this plan on the money interaction

seem to plan on exactly the older than the interaction of fluids with barbs the fluids. we've lost like monkey some 5 star much knew where the fish in and it was 90 time. that means that the fish have been helping shaping the composition off unless on the on rain, 4th, floor, or median. some new subjects in the amazon rain forest, where competition is in tens trees, pcs have developed ingenious strategies over generations to produce the most fragrant appetizing and colorful fruit, the aim to attract messengers capable of transporting their seats further afield. the cape hawk is a prime example producing several 100 fruits every year. the

oval capitalist can be up to 30 centimeters long and attract a whole host of bats and birds. the visitors, they need to feed and spread them wherever they sent. but this tree has also developed another completely different strategy when it cancels right, they open up revealing nutrition seats wrapped in silky fibers. cheap hawk. this light as a feather. flashy coating enables the seats to sign long distances through the air . in this way, the wind too becomes an ally and when the seats finally find fertile soil, they germinate and

a new plan grows. the 1st root to penetrate the soil, while the 1st leaves on furrow above ground. with a bit of luck, the young shoots will mature into a coupon, starting its own race towards the sky. but as the tree grows, there are still dangers ahead. suntrust bases develop special characteristics in order to send off a group of wars and other attackers resulting an unexpected alliances. the crew pos, for example, live in symbiosis. we learned ecologist the home of event, has dedicated his life to researching the fascinating relationship between ads and trees. the

skin, the fine. now when a tree dies and falls over a new lease, a clearing in the forest, this going up in a sending a system just to know that actually putting a low as the sun's light and heat to reach the ground. tiny and stimulate the growth of seeds lying dormant, not quite sauce. this base e sit among them is a secret key of to. so if i'm in special species whose fate is closely linked to that of an and discuss on so it's not even showing me a seed in each one. the data, plenty is done even in the early growth space of the st. croix po for me and as tech and queen can start her colony on the plant. sign is that's what i thought

queen is attracted to the st. crow piano ballad, most likely by its cent inflection. and one she finds the plans this few drills a hole in it and on it leaves her eggs and starts for a cleaning. they suck within a certain a holes and serves as an entrance and exit for workers who patrol the plant, searching for food, she have a colony that expands over the entire stem cell and also on the village. the only one of the units. it's a mutually beneficial association. she's just this a crook produces food exclusively to feed the want any more. that's fine. it consists of glycogen fitzsimmons and looked at. so that's between doing the company and it's, it's an almost complete food supply in the morning for me. seeing that even if the associate testing quickly give 180 correct, they collect the small cap, shows on carry them inside, eat them, and feed them to the larvae so that the call in the gross dining room. so queen

leaves x 2 x, her life producing thousands or even tens of thousands of workers and a quick call when he never leaves its plant. seen associates royce, you know, it's an incredible association that prom because the plant depends on the ants to survive on the hands and turn depend on the plans to see the phone on the land, provide shelter and food in return. they protect the plan from attacks by other insects, but once he gets leaves, daughters are sick texas with play and was if the me i've done that knows uniform and are constantly blooming the leaves of the plant ac. and if an intruder is discovered and the attack it to scare it away, or even capture and to this, like actually pull it up so the,

the recipient can't seem to keep you as they are territory. they never give it talking and defended all costs the shooting, and this was hit by a branch and broke in. unfortunately, that will not survive up. uh, neither will the call any, i mean equal to the just the scope of on sony. so here we can see the various chambers on the floor is that constitute the colony or not? i can't. and there's a root chamber section for the workers and a section where students store uh, locals on these are the able to send emails to, to actually take children up and off. the architecture of the plan creates

a perfect habitat for the ants around the in here we see the queen, which has a different color and it's much larger than the workers at twin c. and the theme leaves the eggs and is the mother of whole, the ants and the colony for me. exactly the and then the, so you recently discovered another interaction. so this black spot, this is actually a fungus that extracts nutrients from data. and other company waste returns them to the plant it down. it's not a problem does it could be late is they didn't want us to have this initial that's the difficulty from the hands, not only protect with a plan, but also provided with better nutrition. down it through this recycling. this interaction is far more complex than we have thought for many years. a local single tax is going to be measuring tape on, on visit a for a job,

and also in directly contribute to the regeneration of the forest. basically a single po as the croupier creates a freight environment which other species can develop and grew until they reach that canopy and become reinforce trees. in doing your job is to show that association between adults and plant his vital for the amazon, followed up to assist on the 20 for me. any problem. it came on. yes. what f o m, as in the, in the vastness of the amazon, every living creature has a very specific task in the complex ecological interplay of species. as

well to see crew forms alliances with ants. in order to survive, the cape pump tree pursues its own defense strategy. the young k pump tree boasts a coat of protective armor, sharp, thorns coverage trunk, and sometimes even its branches the, the thorns deter herb a voice from nibbling on its soft wood or siphoning off its precious sap. the, and mammals are not the only thread here. the thorns also provide protection against birch that could damage bunch or be caring strangler. fixates strangler fix wrapped themselves around their hoss tree, gradually suffocating it,

until all that remains as a wooden skeleton. the thanks to his defenses, the young cape tree usually escapes this fate. once it has insured and reached the top of the forest canopy, it sheds the now redundant armour, the cape hung like every organism in the forest, is part of a wider network that breeds feeds reproduces and interact. mm, biologist, leticia, but a shape is a specialist in rain forest, greenhouse gases. she's researching how they interact with other ecosystems and

also affect human life through the air that we breathe. the yeah, the shows dispatch as it is unique things happen here. say for a force or a global important inside there. our green lung. yeah, the that's why i took it down. rain forests are extremely rich and dense eco system sudden drive on very poor. so improve the offer to this royal doesn't seem particularly fixed, but it is still full of life here. as usual, slaves are constantly falling to the ground where they then decompose. they don't

like the rate of decomposition is extremely high. and because of the temperature and humidity conditions are ideal for fun, guy and micro organisms keep them at them called. and these notion please postpone me that they transform leaves into nutrients that are essential for tree growth timelines. because so we have a really efficient system that enables trees to recover nutrients as soon as they are available and not only from their own leads, but also from the leaves of their neighbors when i enter. so there's a very strong interaction between all the 3 species in the soil and we sort of you know, 10 seconds. another consequence of decomposition is the release of carbon dioxide. and you can use micro organisms or like us, when they breed. they a mid c o 2, which the trees in turn need for photosynthesis problem. no. uh, that's what and it's this c o 2 that enables trees to grow just to get them. it was out of the country. so cylinder,

input c o 2 can be both absorbed and released and that was not that i want to find out what role the forest plays and the exchange of c o 2 between trees and the atmosphere. unplug it, is all on the left. most can, is, it says say, well, this is important in order to determine the carbon balance on the pallet and how much c o 2 is absorbed by the trees, and how much it's released into the atmosphere by the soil and the treehouse machines, surgery, new things will soon follow sun resolve a of that of a system and is this balance that interests us because it's likely to be altered by human activity. oh, and is there anything in the extra in the currently the balance is in favor of the floors. and so there was there like carbon sinks, these accounts during more than they admit as okay, so they currently store 100000000 tons of carbon. and so, but we can't say yet how force will react to climate change in global

scale of act. what is certain is that we're seeing more extreme weather events and swipe longer and more severe periods of drought which can have a direct impact on trees. you have just shown those our vehicles anyway stream cases for as i've turned into savannah's in some places. and there are also very went very well, no, the value of the cause you need even plastic guy can switch. so it goes to see how does such heavy rainfall affect the forest ecosystem. and it's infinity, distort carbon to get out for. i asked ok to download the so the coupon tree to place its part in the great carbon cycle. in the amazon rain forest, the single tree stores several tons of carbon acting as a guardian of the climate. the

but even giants have their twilight and majestic though it is. the cape hawk will also meet its end. its size also makes it vulnerable. towering about of the canopy, it is particularly exposed to the elements becoming a prime target for lightning and strong winds, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change. extreme weather events and changes in rainfall. patterns are threatening the stability, health, reproductive capacity, and integrity of cape up trees, the but they are not alone initially used to these changes to winchell range that follow periods of severe drought, we can all the trees, the deed,

to sliding wildfire another increasingly common threat. the entire ecosystem is in danger. the the biggest threat, however, is deforestation which is devouring and decimating the forest since the 1970s. around 20 percent of the amazon has been either turned into furniture or transformed into grasslands and fields. a further 38 percent is classified as endangered, the development that claudette level and t is trying to counter the . she represents the poly core people at kareka,

an umbrella organization of indigenous groups in the amazon basin. that is committed to saving the forest the to walk with. is it a far as to something sacred to me? this is a part of me in a way to protect you. it means protecting my house. the for, i say this is the assessment is on the left away from the far as the suffering. and we need to act quickly. look to the pacific. ya know, those goals, mining, deforestation, and then grabbing us to let's pull it says no respect for the forest. yep. i do that for 20 years under threat every way that not you. they may not see. it's clear that the house is on fire, stick left to the left inside point. not fulls in bars has new boots is it stretches across venezuela, peru, brazil,

3. now i'm french kiana and believe you don't go to them. we have learned to join forces with other indigenous peoples because we're all in the same fight cylinder called coordinated on and then look for new going back to that we can use quick as fast as major victory was to secure pledges from governments and civil society to protect a 2 percent of the amazon rain forest by 2025. but i for them as we can. i've only mean it was also about showing the, well, the indigenous peoples of the best guardians of the forest who took going phone and they don't get john left for the sand. so it's up to us to show that these commitments are kept opening up for the. this is a fine to everyone who lives here,

not just indigenous people. and especially for the future of children who gather it for me that you have to place your hand on the, on the tree to be able to listen to understand what's happening. it was a phone of the one of those so that we can see that when we allow the environment to tell us something beyond. yeah, because on for the lot of people have lost the ability to listen to nature in and we've gotten the most important thing and that's life. and the forest is lined up for the

of the number on his arm. a survivor of the show. i always find that tells this story over and over to ensure the horrors of the nazi era are not forgotten. emissions more important now than ever the snow stopped in session minutes on the w safety issues. that

management mass. boeing is in crisis. the us aircraft manufacturer is highly indebted, and moral and image are to in the all time low. is this an opportunity for it to your opinion? rival airbus made into many in 19 minutes, dw, the, somewhere in today's age between geneva and libya is to have a whole list stick approach to migration policy rooted in that respect for human rights. our investigative research shows the reality behind the use refugee deals. what is happening to migrants on the african continental
