What that means for the future with antiglobalization a populist sense of. Counting the cost on aljazeera. This is the fact the smallest poor place on the planet and one that could soon be lost forever. With an International Team of scientists is determined not to let that happen now its a race against time to try and save a species. Without intervention how long do you give the i would say year 2 about us to this is the hail mary or it is. This is techno a show about innovations that can change night were going to explore the intersection of heartland and humanity and were doing it in a unique way this is a show about science by scientists. The vet keita is the most endangered Marine Mammal is a naturally elusive this has never been captured tagged was studied up close by marine biologists. Techno is married to davison and chris would deal with take a crisis thats in the motions to stave off extinction the gulf of california one of the most beautiful marine sanctuaries in the world it is here in the target gulf waters at the edge of the Baja California desert the worlds smallest cetacean has found a home power when all the money that one of the earth everybody does yes. America because of the motives. And what you have and the wreckage that is found nowhere else right this is the only place that it exists yes exactly this is the only place this is and then make these issues. Whether someone is of ok only we can find if youre not on the place in the war mexico we are so lucky to have these as these. Belongs in mexico you know if they but get them both here if you are. Going us in a hole is an Acoustic Research or for mexicos government sponsored bucky to rescue project today to stop when his team plan to deploy several submerged will see pods or underwater listening devices the pods are used to track but keep us his research picked up the Early Warning signs that indicated the back of the population was crushing the data is sent to researchers in san diego crystal dilworth has that part of the story tell me what is that the key to and why do you love them so much the kids are especially i think a lovely part because they have a nice paint job they have sort of like black mascara black lipstick her about a cough going. Few scientists have studied the key to as intended. Barbara taylor she heads up in advance Genetic Laboratory based at the u. S. National oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in San Diego California her main partner there and so rowe has braccio who heads up the mexican project is equally passionate about saving the key to losing the key to know in a way its just a minute unison master if someone destroys that your condo or. Whatever the world be expecting is that nothing is going to change youre going to wake up in the morning youre going to help but the world is going to be poorer in many many ways and i think that the situation with cuba i think where enzo and i always thought. We can save them you know we knew it was one issue it was drought was and we thought we could change it yeah and its. Its a hard thing to to see you know hot its not happening. So what is killing the vicky according to scientists the main culprit is gill nets used to capture and another endangered species found the gulf of california a fish named the 12 according to the Environmental Investigation Agency demand for to can be traced to china where it is sold illegally and we got a tip off about the concorde which is also in Southern China is on the coast which is said to be a major center for trade in terms of the fish more some chinese believe the dry swim bladder at the to 12 improve skin and liver conditions and figure a circulation and stops bleeding none of this has been proven medically but the illegal trade into 12 is extremely lucrative. To 12 a fishing in the gulf is illegal because the same nets used to catch and snare the keita they have decimated the key to population. Techno xm radio davidson was shown how the pros that there were no but they knew this was in their work for the brewer keeper can you get in time with their hair here or order the order to free him so obviously they would get back to the river to the surface and then they get thing so they just get stuck here with you when they perish theyre going to. Found 3 adult dead vikki says since we started operation milagro and 2 new nets preborn vikki this and i dont actually think its all of them were neck crapsey and the results of the examination show that they all die of a 6 year and all had leg marks of nets under skin so they dying because of the that is for sure you know leo is captain of the sea shepherd a Marine Conservation group that voluntarily patrols the opera gulf for 12 minutes 5 dead rocky to us were found in the gulf from january to may 2017 its a horrific to see how much Sea Creatures are trapped on those nets its heartbreaking but it is protected Marine Mammals are dying for no reason or just died mr to lie about it its its horrible. The story of the vaccine is a classic collapse of a species scientists began tracking back in the late 1990 s. And we determined 20 years ago that the fishing ban was unsustainable for bakita bay would we predicted that they would be declining about this problem for 20 years. Well i mean the people who originally found them found them dead on the beach. From fishing nets and said hey heres a porpoise nobodys ever found a porpoise here it cant be very common and its dying in fishing nets and so yes hes was discovered because it was dying yeah it was found dead on beaches and in fishing dubs you know its sort of odd that people wouldnt see it but the more you get to know this shy animal the more you understand that you really have to know what youre looking for and you really have to look for them to see them because they avoid any motorised vessel and theyre really small theyre only in groups of one or 2 so theyre really difficult to see they are like the flashy dolphins and come up and ride your bow and you know you get to see every aspect of their lives the porpoises are very shy they move away and so you really have to look for them with like really big binoculars with us on the brink of extinction the team made a decision that was as bold as it was all day shoots in order to save the bucky the remaining population now numbering less than 30 would have to be taken into captivity the plan was implemented in november 2016 at the meeting of sort of the International Committee to save the baccy the only option is separate. From the main respect were voted skilling. For 12 agreements at this point in time and also i mean they are of known but what we really know is that if we dont take them out they wouldnt get so this is the lesser of 2 evils if you know what its like or what techno was given preliminary plans that spell out how to capture the elusive but keep us and bring them to the northernmost cove in the gulf where they would be held in sea pens and kept under guard 24 hours a day 7 days a week there are also plans for land based tanks systems and support apparatus. Keep the capture porpoises alive in case of emergency where weve brought in this amazing team were going to have about 40 people from all over the world all with Different Levels of expertise and we have specialists and capturing harbor porpoises from denmark and the netherlands we have veterinarians that have worked with porpoises from hong kong to to the netherlands we have people who have specialized in taking capturing so we have that that team that we have the team of people who i work with that are experts in finding them will be using both acoustics and visual and were even going to be bringing in maybe dolphins to help us try to track this really elusive species the u. S. Navys Marine Mammal program utilizes bottlenose dolphins to locate underwater sea mines little is known about the fact he thought no one has ever tagged them or been able to study them up close the problem of how to capture them and large but during a Scientific Team meeting a breakthrough from a scientist who works with the navy program in here that they do you ever think of using maybe dont fence or miller and i mean thats completely out of my. Way through books and im sure there will be you know if they can find diverse and objects in the water im sure they could find what you. Next day we went to the maybe facility for years they trained to dolphins they took them to the golden gate in San Francisco where they have harbor porpoises swimming in the dolphins wherever to find it so when we sold that part who seem to be the most difficult one through well. Here we are. Im floating in the middle of the bucky the refuge area here in the gulf of california now this refuge was set up by the Mexican Government to protect the fact that the populations are whats left of them theyve set up here because over the past several years through observation and through acoustic recordings this is where the rocky does really tend to hang out at least recently weve been out here for a while trying to see if we can find any wreckage thats no surprise to me that we havent seen any and that really underscores how difficult and complex this mission is really going to be stuff as Data Analysis indicates the remaining bucky the population may be concentrating across 3 sections in the upper part of the gulf todays sea pod drop well try to confirm those locations so weve just arrived at one of the points where theyre going to drop down a moring and attach to that is going to be the sea pod a so its the acoustic measuring device that they leave for 4 months here to measure and and pick up the sounds of the vacuum clicks so thats what weve done weve weve navigated here via via g. P. S. Its a really vast area and theyve set up at the 87. 00 theyre going to put out 87. 00 of the c. Pods right now were putting up the last 8. Later back on shore double showed us a Computer Program that allows us to hear the bucky humans can hear the clicks because theyre too High Frequency but theres a way for you to modify them so that we actually could you have me listen to this of course Michael Walker on my. Bass in wanted by the program and now you. Are looking for wow. The bucket the refuge measures in area 64 by nearly 100 kilometers along the upper 3rd of the gulf of california when you are in it the refuge seems vast and problematic to police effectively. Since 2005 gill net fishing has been banned here but the real story is much different. Especially at night it is pretty dramatic and crazy every night its so busy it never stops we have a maze ing radars on our bridge of the time time when and if its and on dusts radars we can see the new activity at nights because poachers really go out at night the night of march 11th 2017 was busier than most of the sea shepards farley mowat here on patrol for poachers spotted a small fishing boat in the back of the refuge. And when we see a target ladies we get our ship as close as possible and then the drone team is going to be ready to drop the drone was able to film is illegal fishermen with what appeared to be a boat load of. The fishermen noticed the thrown and began hurling objects at it then we get the 4th age. Fisherman retreating to 2 odd minutes getting to a 2 hour bus i call to the authorities tell them to position. Tell them what were seeing at the same time and and then they calm and they try to arrest them the next day the ship cut another seemingly bolder Group Fishing in broad daylight this was the 1st time the drone was able to capture full daylight images of a boat load of coached and. Can the big problem is money just like always. Illegal fishing activity for to brings out a lot of money because china is opening the black market that is attracting a lot of organized crime says its a 2 hour bus and batteries sold for more than 20000 dollars a kilo of course when you come to those fishing villages where the minimum wage is so low and they can make 5000. 00 a kilo locally with a with one. Swim bladder. The Mexican Government has invested so far over a 1000000000 pesos in compensating fishermen unfun subline got 40 isnt a scientist but he cochairs the baccy the rescue program in mexico he created a plan to use economic incentives to keep your nets out of the gulf for the past 2 years mexico has paid fishermen not to fish until alternative gear that dont kill back ether could be developed you can imagine are going to the communities and trying to convince families not to go back and fish which is what they have been doing for generations thats who they are right as part of their identity i would say and thats the whole purpose also of these programs to have them go back and fish but being able to do so without arguing but you know. Its important for mexico to save the makita from extinction and i would do its equivalent to the same efforts as china has been doing to save panda mexicos efforts have seen mixed results progress has been made but the numbers dont lie the bucky is almost gone there recently that we are where we are its because our fishing overages have failed to come with alternative fishing gear for 2 decades i mean thats incredible they havent been able to do it even if i had 20 years ago if they had hired mit or who would have already something. But the creature is apartment has a monopole and bury the owner was tests alternative theories with thats horrible. It is Early Morning in ensign on the mexico techno has been invited to travel out to the Pacific Ocean to see where the bucket the rescue plan is truly taking shape these pens belong to bottle farms a mexican tuna Farming Company the back teeth a rescue team turned to them for help where where would the natural be these big problem we have the big danger of losing the back you know so we are aware of that we are delighted to be part of or. Is the Operations Manager of a club you will see on the a c. Pen designed to give tourists an up close view of the tuna farming business this plan is currently located off the coast of ensign out of mexico on the pacific side of Baja California and contains hundreds of bluefin tuna but before long it will be moved to the gulf of california and if all goes well with a back to the rescue effort instead of china there will be by keep us swimming within it be bunko provided renderings of the redesigned bucket the pen which feature 2 observation tubs this tourist attraction will become a Floating Laboratory you know were looking at the tuna in the observation area it struck me that theyre feeding very close to the surface and thats not normally how they feed right. So theyve had to learn a new way of feeding and that will essentially be the case for them i keep them i suppose so. As far as i know the rocky days eating the same thing to the dolphins to be open im sure that i mean they are eating small fish and sweet things play out there for when those kind of organisms of the ocean differently they record. Agent is going to learn how to eat the rocky the pan will be taken here to the northernmost end of the gulf in an area called much or a cove gustava showed us the area during our gulf tour the blue building im sure is an old trick Processing Plant that will be converted to an on site Veterinary Care center so you think thats the best shot absolutely its not only the best shot but its the only shot that we have were going to have facilities in the ocean were going to have some oh so limited land and were also looking to one of the. Most important pieces of these projects is to have the facility right in the heart of the key. Area where we can have vets where we can have 247 care for but keep those there we could be monitoring them we can learn a little bit more about but he thought there is a little opposition to the rescue plan within the Scientific Community the conservation groups led by the Sea Shepherd Society believe the problem should be solved without captivity. Hes always been fighting against captivates and cultivates and for me its not a solution and 1st ship is not a solution because saving anymore is not having it in a Swimming Pool and it should be free and leaving its life and contributing to the eco system kind of a maybe its not working right now and plan b. Those seem to me. There are many questions surrounding the capture program but if scientists are successful the next step in the process will be to try and breed that you keep scientists in san diego are getting ready these will be the ancestors of all the cute and into the future this Breeding Program so we need to make sure that we know what weve got and keep that variation that natural genetic variation in that population into the future phillip more in were expected to keep the rescue team. In san diego he is a Research Molecular geneticist is that the key to can be successfully bred in captivity he will have to figure out how to make the genetics where so they keep us special because it lacks this genetic diversity that other species do how is it managed to survive for so long so what we believe happens in a population like species like the key to it is that theyve been in to small population size for a long time so the bad person has slowly been purged from the species so that means they have less of the bad diversity they also have less of the good diversity. But in a stable environment like the northern gulf of california theyve managed to survive and there is still diversity is not to say they have none because of this lack of diversity in the vicky is it possible to accidentally do harm to the species through the Breeding Programs that youre developing. Yes yeah i mean there is no way to avoid that were going to lose diversity. Theres no way to avoid that because were collapsing the population from thousands down to a few and then theyre going to have to breed to some extent with the same individuals in order to build that population up. More and has been studying the key to using tissue samples stored in the deep freeze at the san diego Fisheries Science Center its cold in here minus 20 degrees celsius and besides myself in this ok here theres about 200000 tissue samples from a variety of marine smokeys 45 of those samples are from the clutha and thats the hope that those samples contain some still current and i think information that can help save that species and how long the samples keep at this time all these samples are about 30 years old now and were still extracting d. N. A. From them. So were hoping theyre going to last a long time so its like science evolves just the right time to be able to help the big key to right before it they go extinct the ability to culture cells and transform them is changing right now so that if we get living cells from the skins of of these aquinos or brought into captivity we can keep them alive in the lab we can transform them into any types of cells we want so even if we catch an animal. That may be too old to reproduce or only reproduces once the fort it cant reproduce a more if we have those cells its possible we can convert those into dam eats into sperm and egg cells in the future and use them put them back in the population as if that in the most alive. Advanced genetics may end up being the game changer for that the key to san diegos frozen c 2 has played a key role in trying to save many nearly extinct species a porpoise and a right nasir might not seem to have that much in common but scientists here at the frozen zoo at San Diego Zoo global are working to save the noise. Theyre in white right now and techniques they developed could act as a blueprint to save that the key to we are pretty confident that if we get a good quality sample will be able to grow and successfully freeze the cells thats going to tell us more about the vicki to its going to Say Something about its population history it will provide may be. Very useful information about whether theres enough genetic diversity in the remaining population to allow it to recover and expand all of a writer is director of the frozen soup it holds more than 10000 living cell cultures if nothing else works the frozen samples would become a last resort for an extinct species the vicky is such an endgame at the end of the day all we may have are cells and we mustnt though. Ignore that. Were engaging in. An enterprise that we dont know ultimately if. Time is running out for the science maybe its not hype but it comes with the price tag the rescue effort is expected to cost 5000000. 00 u. S. Dollars the u. S. National Marine Mammal foundation says it has 4500000 on hand 3 minute and come from the Mexican Government the rest from private dynas many of the scientists donating that tiny hole to give the key to a fighting chance for tech im sure the same are. This is a boon for point people right now and technology there is so much going to help people its phenomenal thanks for calling i read this is there and what are you looking for today we get to the blind with their day to day tasks and give them more and up and then send this for a little gift that sure is a tomato. And we have that Technology Available to us tag no. Its a tough time for the Afghan Security forces taliban attacks have increased suffering heavy casualties and the prospect of a withdrawal of u. S. Forces hangs over them yet young men are still joining up some for reasons for others is the only way to get a job despite the risks. An Army Bomb Disposal engineer in Helmand Province he knew the risks he was blinded in both eyes and lost a leg when a roadside device exploded as you try to defuse it always aware of the danger of seeing friends wounded while working on mines i wasnt scared to lose an arm or a leg is to sacrifice we have to mike to serve this country from the aljazeera london full cost center to special guests in conversation this is the chance to start the revolution unprompted uninterrupted we need to do away with evil because that stops conversation where should i land on me i can be this is the beginning of friendship this is the beginning of love.
