of the hours of next doc film takes a tour of the amazon rainforest or look at the logistics god of isn't berlin for me in the homeless. the name is the calls back said thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. most would have been nosy bay, like good everyone to king. a healthy award winning called com. so hold back. good. the

guy. a model gwinnett cook with an ancient wine yana. legend says that in the middle of the amazon is the largest cape pump tree that has ever existed before. yeah, yeah. yeah. so that's good. that's a family of joint egos built a nest on top of mass. good people in a one day to while you on a warriors decided to catch a, you'll need to 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 when he reached the top out of jealousy, his friend took the matter away, contending and what a certain definitely we must get yet on whether your goes parents returned the

found to worry or go you good. the father looked at him for a long time and said, you have come to steal our daughter for $1000.00 pounds. you shall be your wife, and you shall become an eagle williams, villas up in america mulroy. for days the birds taught the worry or how to hunt and share their knowledge of the forest. wait till by little to your 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 cuz if you decided with the teacher, the thing we learned to the one yanna and other things 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 what is 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 of australia. it's one of the most bio diverse places on earth. we've thousands of animal implants, species and it's ecosystem. the rain forest is a kind of super organism. became tree holds a prominent position in this network, providing sunlight and shelter for an entire community of plants and animals for the indigenous way on people in french kiana, the k pump tree 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 of tree is shrouded in legend. for the way yana had represents the spiritual connection between people in the forest where the history deserves the respect that to go to what i need then import down stone. plus the cape up tree is a majestic mind 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 it's on the,

from its roots is very soft and easy to work with, but it's been want that to them know it's beauty inspires the way, yada and they use it in their traditional art. i submitted it to the wireless mess. yeah. this one is perfect. the distributive so put copy of them you into the people that then mean, i mean if you want to remove a piece of a tree, you have to connect with that spirits and ask permission to full gunther out of respect for the tree or the forest around is that was so like, was the cutting the phone with me today i'm taking a piece of wood from the tree to make a roof disc. another one i have done

bar let me draw out. always the money. i want to protect the village and it's 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 give me inspiration, really getting quickly on one. so i got to where to see them on the please, my teeth to pick both the history of the people and the magical forest animals must get it symbolized the connection between humans and us. walter and sky together day protect the community by preventing evil spirits of diseases from entering the village. we don't look like

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 yana in french kiana. the k puck is sacred, in part because tape of tree gives the impression of being able to reach up to the heavens. of the veritable giant among giants. this tree stand some 50 meters tall. the k box can live up to 500 years and belong to the middle of a plant family. during infancy, they grow at a dizzying pace of 4 meters per year in a frantic race towards the light, the once bait and the sun's rays. patrice slowly but

surely unfurls the branches of its monumental crown, which has a span of 25 meters. this is no selfish giant. it plays host to a range of climbing and aerial boot, plants nestling and its branches to capture the light. the country is a suspended garden and refuge for a multitude of species that could not exist without it. the its trunk up to 4 meters thick act as a natural elevator. a ladder 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 the 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, insects 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 criss 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 lakes or tons. now for they do exist, but they have taken on a different foam full at 1st. oh, you sees a pond to me on, but deep inside the leaves is well teeming with life. okay, so yeah, they have the plastic and this is an episode which account from the for me and family se, unlike other terrestrial punts, its roots do not have sold horde. that's what it's up to cling to the trunk,

branches of the supporting tree when he will just from the pump feeds itself through its leaves. a simple, you know, set blown up. watson. while you can see that they form a kind of follow the walk and phone, know, consult dumping off or see they keep up when it rains even to walk well to drop. that's gathering the central part along with organic matter that falls from the kind of p, again, most whose key is comp lives exclusively on what it collects. and it's the rest of logs. and we're a screening of all the lloyd, any new will praise on bus, which is i want to put on the table. maybe i see the media just the only kind of plant in the well capable of absorbing water in minerals through its leaves. the q is low in the suspend service, original strategy has enabled a whole bio diversity of organisms to develop organisms that would not exist without the comp i off. it's not a problem. the

excuse me, is that what interests us about these accounts is the diversity of organisms inside the lead for us that's we want to understand the complex interactions of the heart of these tons of our printer. we sort of the water and make ups of patients, and that's where we discover many welds in themselves on a 2nd floor. it's a well, i think thursday to very 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 to planked on comparable to what we find in the ocean. it was always then there are mosquito long feet and long via flying insects. so jack and flies and damsel flies and beaten lobby to various organisms. play a key role for the plant where you have other i love the, the decompose the dead leaves releasing new tree and then available to the plant. just when you put a problem to diminish the gigs and get some magnificent example of independence and interactions between different species. because the plant provides a habitat for aquatic organisms, which in return provide food for the pond. when is the best and which of these natural fresh water microsystems plan potent roles that you had on hold from them on the side of sco new, the suit mosquito lobby hatch this and feed on nectar as adults so passively pollinating the plants as they feed the process okay, tracking 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 play and extremely important role in preserving the rain forest. the, during the dry season, bro, meely adds, are floating life giving water reservoirs. but for the rest of the year, the phone and fluoride 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 application to the amazons, a city, and nutrient portfolio. the, instead of going deep, the cape pod tree goes wide, making use of the top soil rich in organic. it matters in the nodules at a through the cape. bob has developed a symbiotic relationship with me is 2 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 food and loss of of the wild life. the complexity of interactions are happening. the amount office pieces are all in turn, the printer and the one that i have been studying for 20 years now is the interaction with fish and the of the in the amazon frame for it is that 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 depending on the big 4 force but many of those flu, that's totally fine. when they fall in the water that are consumed by fish, and when they use 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 are you seeing steps on these to see the proportions of those the for them for high this, this is a fish from the, from me this the 1st time you see the, basically

a coffee know for i know. but instead of eating flesh, she is a highly specialized food eating fish and is going to be really interesting to flush this salma and see what the fish are need in the you can that so the so these are pretty fresh, nice thing like you were needing this morning to do that, he's a very important source of notarize for fish because they have sugars in a box so they can send it, would you for the fish? he's consuming most vehicle. and then the said it's going to pass intact. like when

we the tomato we don't must because then to see fussing, talk through the just keep track to things does things and then the fish difficult is far away. the the freshwater fish diversity is the greatest in the world in the most sonya. so that about $12250.00 pieces of fish in lesonia and the fluids. um, well we have fun so far. the seen some cases up to half of the species of threes that are producing fluids seen in this ring. see soon, are these 1st devices which is a new press if divers, the, the, the, the rain, c,

selena lesson is very strong. and those very drastic rainfall costs flooding. so that means that the mean china loved the river become connected with a smaller screens inside the 40s. and all the suited to florida is, is completely flooded and becomes one with the re, 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 of cures instance on so you will see higher plates 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 started rice, anything for the trees is ready as some things rules that are fish actually the fluids because it allows them to basic the cold on ice new areas next on the range of distribution. the so as much as the fish, the fine on the furnace for food and high, we've done the for the print from the fish, the fish actually month painting. think big about the, on the biodiversity, on the 4th, or the long term. nice perhaps one of the all this plan on the money interaction thing, the plan and the subsidy older than the interaction of fluids with barbs the fluids

with lulls 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 media and 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 castle. this can be up to 30 centimeters long and attract a whole host of bats and birds. the visitors, they need to seats and spread them wherever the sun. 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 fly long distances through the air. in this way, the wind too becomes an ally and when the seats finally find fertile soil, the german at

a new time grows the 1st root to penetrate the soil. while the 1st leaves on for the 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. some trees bases develop special characteristics in order to send off a group of horse and other attackers resulting an unexpected alliances. the crew pos, for example, leaving symbiosis. we learned ecologist june of event has dedicated his life to researching the fascinating relationship between cons entries. the

new when a tree dies and falls over a new lease, a clearing, and the forest is going up in a sending the system just to know that actually putting a low as the sun's light and heat to reach the ground dining and stimulate the growth of seeds lying dormant, not quite sauce. this space 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 assuming that each one the data, plenty is done even in the early gross phase of the c pro po for me and as tech and queen can start her colony on the plant sign. is that still if the queen is

attracted to the saint crow piano butler most likely by it sent in fucking out the 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 that the only one of those units. it's a mutually beneficial association. she's just as a crook produces food exclusively to the fbi and want any more. that's fine. it consists of glycogen fitzsimmons and liquids. so if that's the 2 main, do any corporate hands, it's an almost complete food supply in the morning for me. seeing that even with this, ok, does include the cave $180.00 correct? they collect the small cap shows, so i them inside, eat them, and feed them to the larvae so that the colony grows. 9 is the queen leaves

x 2 x, her life producing thousands or even tens of thousands of workers and call in he never leaves its plant seen. associates realize, you know, it's an incredible association laptop because the plant depends on the hands to survive on the hands and turn. depends on the plants testing they found on the land, provide shelter and food in return. they protect the plan from attacks by other insects that once he leaves adults with our sick, texas will play a mazda 6. the mn manuals are constantly improving the leaves at the plant ac. and if an intruder is discovered, the attack it to escape it away or even capture and each of us will accept you, i for that class. so the

6 you can see just to keep you is there territory. they never given talking and defend at all costs the shooting into this was hit by our branch and broke, and unfortunately it will not survive. and neither will the call any on the naples to the, to the scope as well. that just one issue here. we can see the various chambers and fluids that constitute the call any or not i can, and there's a be chamber section for the workers and a section where to, to store locals on these. were you able to send emails to could actually take children? have all the architecture of the plan, creates a perfect habitat for the end of the end. here we see the queen, which has

a different color and is much larger than the workers had been seeing the theme, lazy eggs and as the mother of whole, the aunts and the call waiting for me exactly of the and then equal valley. so you recently discovered another interaction, this black spot, this is actually a fungus that extracts from nutrients from dense and other colony waste of it turns over to the plant it down. it's not a problem. does it keep the lady's name on a field? this initial city from the hands not only protect with the planet, but also provided with better nutrition. we all met through this recycling continue . this interaction is far more complex than we have thought for many years. a vocal thinking takes this, going to be measuring tape on, on these, in a phone and also can directly contribute

to the regeneration of the forest. basically a single po, see, croupier creates a freight environment which other species can develop and grew until they reach the canopy. and become reinforce trees in doing the job is to show that the association between at some plant is vital for the amazon forest to assist on tony for me. any problem? it came on. yes. wonderful. 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, a protective arm, or sharp thorns cupboards, trunk, and sometimes even its branches the, the thorns deter or before is 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 fixed eats strangler. fix wrapped themselves around their hoss tree, gradually suffocating it,

until all it remains as a wooden skeleton. the thanks to his defenses, the young k patrice usually escapes this fate. once it has insured and reached the top of the forest canopy, it sheds the now redundant armour, the cape hunt, like every organism in the forest is part of a wider network that breeds feeds reproduces and interact. me, 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 rain forests are extremely rich and dense eco system. sudden drive on very poor soil for the comforts and destroys, doesn't seem particularly fixed, but it is still full of life in your home. 6 weeks are constantly falling to the ground where they then decompose it. don't like the rate of decomposition is extremely high. and because the temperature and

humidity conditions are ideal for fun, guy in micro organisms sit down at them called and the social please postpone me that they transform leaves into nutrients that are essential for tree growth. because so we have a really efficient system that enables trees to recover nutrients as soon as they are available bankruptcy longer, 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 and the soil and we sort of cost. another consequence of decomposition is the release of carbon dioxide. can you call gain 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 and 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 fat. it says say, 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 is released into the atmosphere by the soil and the trees. surgery, me things mostly father's, son, me salma is that it is a system and it is this balance that interests us because it's likely to be altered by human activity. uh is that anything in the extra in the currently the balance is in favor of the floors for them or they're like the carbon sinks these accounts during more than they admit and stuck extra. and they currently store 100000000000 tons of carbon. and so, but we can't say yet how force will react to climate change in global

scale of actor. 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. like the shows our a plus ending stream cases force. i'm turn into savannah as in some places. and there are also very went very well. no that value because you need even the classic i can swing it. so it goes to see how does such heavy rainfall affect the forest ecosystem, and it seems realty to store carbon think, and i for i asked ok to download the so the key poetry to place its part in the great carbon cycle in the amazon rain forest a single trees stores several tons of carbon acting as a guardian of the climate the

but even julians had their twilight and majestic though it is. the cape hawk will also meet its end. its size also makes it bone rubble. towering above 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 k pop trees. the they are not alone initially use of these changes to mutual range that follow periods of severe drought. we can all the trees, the,

the 2 sliding wildfire, and other 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 30 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 the form up with is it a far as to something sacred to me? this is a part of me in a way that can protect what it means. protecting my house enough for us to put this in the assessment as well. left voice with far as to suffering and we need to act quickly. look to the perceived. yeah, i know about those goals, mining, deforestation, and then grabbing us. so that's what it says. no respect for the forest. yeah. 5 years under the threat every way that not you. they may not see. it's clear that the house is on fire. stick left to the left is $1.00. not susan bars has new boot 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 coordinate. don't remember the look when you come back directly chug and you quite because fast. major victory was to secure pledges from governments and civil society to protect a 2 percent of the amazon rain forest by 2025. that i feel that most of it in front of me, that it was also about showing the well, the indigenous peoples of the best guardians of the forest. what's a good phone and they don't get down left for it. don't stand. so it's up to us to show that these commitments are kept open enough for them as well. so this is a fight for everyone who lives here, not just indigenous people. and especially for the future about children who gather

it for me that you have to place your hand on the, on a tree, to be able to listen, to understand what's happening as well as on the one of those. so that we can see that when we allow the environment to tell us something, yeah, we'll put it on for the long as 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 us in the

on the far side is one of the 4, so cetera in germany, if you hear of industrial park, but europe's the largest car maker is in deep crisis. how could it come to this? and what should be done to get the alien giants back on track. but it's like suddenly it's not that simple. differently from all of its rivals. red in 30 minutes on d w. the big press
