This is techno a show about innovations that can change lives in the science of fighting the fire were going to explore the intersection of hardware in humanity and were doing you need it with. This is a show about science low turnout by scientists. Tonight saving the macaw im in the proving amazon that were on the search for endangered mccall now techno is on a one of a kind mission looking to 3 from a car graceful elegant and in some parts of the world in danger its a race against time to the climber up top just yell down saying that she saw a Lightning Strike to save his species time to hurry up and fill taurus from an entomologist do much of my research in this jungle or ill share my findings with marina davison shes an environmental biologist and dr kristal do work among likely learn euro scientists thats our team and i know its do some science so as. Big as welcome to techno im phil tours joined by dr chrystal the earth and aerated davis and so just picture this you are deep in the rainforest of peru when suddenly a flock of red and blue magnificent creatures takes off in front of you they are beautiful but let me tell you they dont start out so pretty you have to be talking about my cause im a bird biologist so in my day ive seen a lot of baby birds and i have to admit i mean they are paulton. Can be pretty ugly but i mean its also ugly that theyre cute because its still associated with their brain or its kind of like their mascot but theyre not so ubiquitous and are in their in nature species and theyre at risk because that happens a lot of salou because when the habitat is in trouble these birds are in trouble and we join a team of scientists down there that are working hard to make sure it doesnt happen lets take a look. Elusive charismatic cause or undeniably stars of the rain forest and theres a special place in peru where its still possible to see macaws and all their wild glory that is if you dont mind a little travel. And were heading to the tumble parts a Research Center a place so deep in the proving amazon its taken us 2 days on this boat just to get there. There are 16 species of macaws left in the wild down from more than 20 the populations of all of the species remaining are on the decline. 7 such as the blue throated macaw in danger of becoming extinct why. Because of deforestation close to 300000 square miles of the amazon rain forest gone since 1978. Timber and were culture and mining. Then there is the illegal pet trade its not easy being one of the worlds most beautiful birds pack these these juvenile cars and to bang to smuggle then and more than half of the an individual dying during this process. Any hawkinson is the fuel leader for the macall project at the tumbled part a National Reserve shes one of a team of researchers who. Or using science to save the macaws. Because our very special and. Intelligent. And they face a lot of threats and their habitats Todays Mission takes is deep into the reserves for those threads are constantly mad play where in the middle of the breeding season tumble part is essentially a giant laboratory in the wild 6 species of macaws inhabit this 1000 plus where miles of rain forest rain is a constant in winter but too much rain can be a problem. Today were going to see how a pair of 2 week old macaw chicks are fairing the odds are against both of them survived examining the chicks is a delicate operation. One lead veterinarian elizabeth pour through gives louis oh preps for the chick exams on the ground any hawkinson gets ready to climb to their nest above i dont like heights but with ness close to 100 feet up the team has no choice but to cause im. Macaws like deep cavities high up in old growth trees those spots are hard to come by even in a protected force like. This scarcity of mess leads to deadly fights between nesting macall parents and other macaws looking for a home they will kill chicks if a well harm the parents and they may cause such a disruption that the parents might be unwilling to return to the nest thats why the macabre project is researching man made miss like this one called mandy lou once any reaches the nest she opens a special door to access the chicks separate from the opening the adult macaws used to get. Inside our 1st peek at the hope for the next generation of macaws. The frail pale chick is not what youd expect but it is a live in and he needs to get it down to the ground quickly safety is paramount for these blue ball chicks any uses sanitizer on her hands to protect them from germs the bucket that will take them down is warmed with a hot water bottle because these chicks have no protection against the cold. Dr pore through gizmo your 1st way is the chick and then photographs it and yes this is what im a car looks like in the 1st weeks of his life no hint of the jungle beauty it will become this chick is the 1st of the 2 to hatch like it sibling its named after its nest mandy loo and then you know not in it that i say the other that a man needs to the earth again then those are the other for them and they say yeah but on the wood nest like mending glue have been a big Success Story a tumble part of research has shown that more cars can raise chicks in vs just as well as they do in natural nests. The veterinarian takes detailed body measurements to determine how the chick is doing at this stage of development. The flying through. Then men dilute to is taken out and photographed next to its order sibling. Is normal open their doors between no no is not a man now moment that in the beach only and on the earth on the eternal. No but i say you know it out of the earth. If you are in a car its best to be a 1st hatched because im a car mom typically neglects those that hatch later so the 1st chick that has as will receive all of her care and then the 2nd tick that hatch as if she has enough resources so care for that check text number 3 and 4 will usually die. I from starvation. Even chick number 2 has at best a 5050 chance of survival is to open your own somebody call most on the story and nothing which only fit in here at the. End of those doing. This but isnt it sad that it exists. Today both men delude chicks had a good check up. Theres a new kind of nest being tested out at tumble part or its made of cement soaked burlap researchers want to see if its more durable than wooden nests which only last a couple of years in the jungle. 65. But today things dont seem to be going well for these 2 chicks from the experimental nest neither shows signs of being fed by their parents and researcher liz piper is concerned i mean these because its just a beginner they. Come back from the clay and theyre going to feed them later no. Time to get these chicks back home. Research after sundown at the center can be challenging the generator provides electricity only 7 hours a day. A good head lamp is your best friend along with your mosquito net to keep unwanted guests out of bed. And during meal time you have to keep an eye out for the occasional thief. This one targeted our techno crew. Pretty good idea. This macaw is in a sense. Near the center with his mate. Theyre both scarlet macaws a species that can live to the ripe old age of 50 in the wild scarlet macaws are doing well here but endangered in other regions in mexico less than 250 survived in the wild as of 2013 the result of illegal pet trade and habitat loss. You know sencion has little here of humans thats because a little over 20 years ago in 1900. 6 were chosen to be raised by hand at the center then released into the wild the macaws participating in the study known as the chicos. The ones that these researchers were going to die they remove them from the nest and raise them here what was the purpose the cars were disappearing because the illegal pet trade was looming because they were at a really high demand in north america and in europe they wanted to see if reintroduction of the cars was a viable option to save some of these population the study was a success more than half of the scotoma cars released survived at least 7 years in the wild some of these new cars still stick around the area and those in the cars and the most aggressive with us because they have no fear that humans. This morning the team is doing a check up on you know since you and your choice 2 chicks but unlike wild macaws these parents dont leave when any climbs to the nest. Getting chicks out when mom and dad are home and home is more than 90 feet up his challenges. If. Any uses these paddles to gently push these adults out of the way. Then she places the chicks in the bucket and sends them down to researcher liz pipe below. Could have been a leak. She goes can breed out of season because they have a ready supply of food year round they steal it or charm it out of humans at the center. If there is a rhythm to it is. If the extra food source also means chicos or more likely to raise more than one chick to adulthood. His proposal. It was time for these little guys to go back to their parents and any to come down. After seeing the researchers reach heights and views normally only the macaws get to see her figure it out for me to give it a shot. Is much harder than the researchers make a walk through. And the time a length of time out of breath will be sweaty. With a view. Over fish. And. There are 2 more chicks the need their checkups today from the nest called hugo. Huge. Only. A problem of the known dead from the learn as. You go one is a little over a month away from being ready to fledge or take its 1st flight more than a teacup is needed to hold this bird as its weight. By this age the wings in the feet are almost the size of an adult and. C so the climber up top just yelled down saying that she saw a Lightning Strike and she thinks theres a storm by 10 or 15 minutes away obviously not good to be at the top of the tall tree during a Lightning Storm and these are cars dont do well in the rain so its time to hurry up right. By a few more photos and its time to bring out hugo to nest with 2 healthy chicks is rare i was lucky enough to see several including these 2 guys look so different 3 days. That the system is in. Use or side veterinarian elizabeth pore through good is also going to take a crop sample from this bird to get an idea of its diet the crop is this bold where they store food before digesting shes prison lubricant on the tubes they can pass through the throat of the macaw comfortably. Helps them because theyre. Basically in the 1st 1530 days of its life this will be quite red from of the clay that it eats but once its this age their diet varies a lot more so this. Good stuff research on a macaws diet helps scientists see how the rain forest is critical to their survival a quick swab to make sure the macaws mouth is clean and a good check up for this mccall is done that is amazing look at. What cars are known as umbrella species making the right conservation decisions to protect them means protecting the countless other species and this special habitat they call home. And right now this habitat here in the tumble part the National Reserve is thriving. Researchers reported that all of the chicks we saw have now fledged even the 2 in the experimental cement nest in each success here offers hope for struggling macaw populations throughout the tropics. Overlooking the absolute secret he wonders to now. And. When it comes to studying creatures living inside the amazon rain forest. Is about as good as it gets. This gorgeous creature is a juvenile red pill and it looks so fresh because it just. Brimming with forest in life there are likely thousands of species yet to be discovered and thats where i commend take note 1st visited here in 2013 to look at this spider i helped discover its a familys fighter disguised as a bigfoot show. That was the 1st animal record to actually build a fake animal from scratch we also went to solve what was making this mysterious structure we call so cant judge. These discoveries were talked about around the world lake Huron Lynette read it even on m. S. N. B c which compared my discovery to the hairstyle of a new york city celebrity or perhaps the inspiration for Donald Trumps hair back in tumble ponta it was time to check in on the spiders and more. First up the decoys. After searching the forest the night we came upon one just meters away from the Research Center they were able to document it for the 1st time ever in the act of actually building the fake spider and catching prey consider this a success in my book. But not all of field work is guaranteed success some. Times the forest has its own plan. A moonlit boat ride to a nearby island to take a crack at solving another amazon mystery last year i led an expedition to this island to solve the mystery of so can. And despite a few hours search in the area in which i had previously found many turned completely empty frustrating but all part of the process. But not all was lost on this island visit i encountered one of the few species out there that even scares me and had to document it for a colleagues Research Project to meet the wandering spite of the deadliest spider in south america one of the ways you can tell is wandering spiders by the color underneath the its front legs so im going to tap it a little bit see if it gets the pencil it should lift them up to take a shot i get at it. The next day tracking down a recent discovery that really has me excited and never before seen butterfly interactions i had been able to solve it despite several attempts. Coming back to peru i had no idea if i would ever see this butterfly again but i just spent 3 hours observing it and already learned so many amazing new things the scientist in me couldnt be happier. Heres how it works it all starts on young bamboo plants 1st the butterfly lays the eggs then the ants get involved the caterpillar stages a butterfly it actually eats the clients out of a specialized gland and in return the ants protect it even from us but whats new here and what happens nowhere else in the world occurs once that caterpillar develops into the butterfly stage the. Butterflies actually trick the air and steal their liquid food coming out of the bamboo and normally eat butterflies not share a meal with them. These butterflies likely trip them by smelling like it but even more unique they look like them to. The wings of the butterfly have a pattern of an ant hidden within only revealed when we saw them in the wild. To top it off we caught a butterfly actually taking food right out of the mouth of an ant something also never documented before. With this behavior recorded a new i wasnt coming home empty handed science like this helps us understand the wild world around us and the importance of protecting individual species which may influence another after one last jungle stroll into the night i had all but forgotten about not finding so kenge the night before when miles from where it should be this happened. Well this is completely unexpected end of my trip through the proving amazon heading back to base to pack my bags and i turn to my rights and look what i finally found. This is the rain forest wild unexpected always a challenge to understand and though my time here is over the mccall researchers and others will keep on hiking climbing and documenting their way through tumble part of. It because as a group some species are extremely endangered others not so much the ones that you guys were looking at when they fall so they focus on a somewhere in the middle basically a lot of their population is fairly well protected and thats why this is such an amazing study site because you see them as they should be however if you step outside of that in places like Central America the same species is in a lot of trouble because theyre regionally endangered things like the illegal pet trade is given to them habitat loss is given to them so by understanding what is going on there we can see what should be going on in other places that for me it was so exciting because you know im a chemist and you know biologists and i work in a lab indoor is a very sterile environment so this is a really great reminder for me that science really happens anywhere and i mean you guys have entire rain forest as your laboratory its pretty sure i must tell you sometimes im out there and i envy the life in the lab because you guys can do repeated experiments they are controlled out there in the rain forest its pretty hard to control snow out in the old environs raw and then from climbing up to the canopy to look inside a macaw nest watching butterflies an ant hang out in a way that has never been documented before we hear a techno have the privilege of access to these types of stories from scientists all over the world will bring you more next on well see you then dive deep into these stories and go behind the scenes at aljazeera dot com slash techno follow our expert contributors on Twitter FacebookInstagram Google plus and more.
