Italian island of cap rate which after weeks of quiet is welcoming tourists again. And we find out about the plight of elephants in the thai tourist sector and how help is its hands. These humans have been exploiting animals for many many out. A shocking 90 percent of all mammals alive today are being raised for human consumption and most of these animals are kept in conditions which dont take their basic needs into account. Unfortunately thats also true for animals used for human entertainment as pets in some zoos circuses or amusement parks at least 15000 elephants worldwide live in captivity in asia many of them are used as working on them also want to provide entertainment for tourists. As part of our global ideas series our reporter felix noah and his team went to northern thailand to meet a woman providing refuge for elephants. Just one look and she knows exactly which elephant is which she now has 80 of them each one has suffered lect child learn knows all their stories. Until just a few years ago this elephant worked in a nearby riding camp as the conservationist explains he had to carry tourists around every day if he didnt obey his trainer would pierces thick skin with a ball the tie activist has been working to protect elephants for 25 years with her foundation she aims to improve the lives of the packet durhams donations and able her to buy up animals whove suffered especially harsh treatment most of the elephants have spent decades being ridden or in showbiz but in childbirth elephant nature park they no longer have to work or be in chains paying guests are allowed to watch the elephants but nothing more. People come and visit they dont disturb a friend they just be yours the money to come and become great skill more and more. Again and again like china learned has exposed animal abuse using a hidden camera for centuries Wild Elephants have been subjected to prolonged violent taming methods now there are laws in thailand that prohibit animal cruelty. But china says this has done little to change the taming practice known as elephant crushing. The thai everyone not now is the body in the us the whole. Lot of the brother reading everywhere. The baby are called bravely you can see the blood when i work. I have the will i have to tell them the 10 that i had ordered i dont care why i dont get that i dont get that from there. But up a whole lot of how i cry i cry with a lot of disappointed about human. I angry angry bit read the paper that is. That. Should a lecture and her team are once again on a rescue mission this time the conservationists will collect 7 elephants from this writing camp southwest of bangkok and bring them to the reserve near chain mind the camp owners themselves contacted chandlers foundation and asked for help as hardly any tourists are coming to ride the elephants to the coronavirus pandemic. An adult elephant is usually worth about 2000000. 00 baht or more than 50000. 00 euros but due to the pandemic the animals have become more of a burden for their owners. It cost them nearly a 1000. 00 euros a month for food and care. Final point kyra is happy to at least get 1000000. 00 baht per elephant from china its foundation. Our situation has been dire since the start of it we had to close the camp for months. Before that regardless of whether were open or closed we still have to take care of the elephants and we need to feed them every day. We were allowed to reopen on july 1st but there are simply no visitors. That might make it. The camp owner and his elephant tamers dont want us to look too closely as the animals are loaded on to the trucks they say that for safety reasons we must keep our distance. Theyre not really easy to go on the truck because when they put in that truck is mean that life would be 10 again. Experience ready to create the prius and there might be a beautiful one prayer. So now that thing they wanted them somewhere is theyre not quite sure. Before setting off the elephants must be fixed into place on the platforms each animal gets its own frame made of bamboo stocks. The elephants and their rescuers have a journey of about 800 kilometers ahead of them. The team has never transported so many animals at once over such a long distance. The convoy sets off and the early afternoon. Lag. After less than half an hour the vehicles have to make a stop. One of the elephants went into a rampage on the truck bed and destroyed the restraining bars holding it in place now they have a major repair job on their hands many of them. No was this is all the time when we chance. It was stuck to them because theyve broken the frame im told the frames would have to roll. It became apparent on david over the top. After about an hour the problem is fixed and the adventure can continue. The elephants now seem somewhat more relaxed. Than rescuers new just want to do to calm them down. Listen to. As long as the feeling. That im hungry i know one. Thing the journey old kids know. The rest of the journey doesnt go smoothly. But cool dusk is refreshing for both the elephants and their rescuers. The next morning after a nearly 20 hour drive the convoy reaches its destination the elephant nature pond north of chainline the team is exhausted learned has hardly slept but nothing can dampen her mood. All they have. At the front. So yeah. I feel believe. Once the restraining bars have been removed its time for the elephants to take their 1st cautious steps into a new life. One of. The newcomers will have to be isolated from the rest of the herd for 2 weeks in order to prevent the possible spread of disease. The rescuers freeze the animals from all their ropes and chains. So beautiful. Has provided a new home for well over 100 elephants a home where theyre no longer forced to put on a show where they can simply be elephants. On the field. To hike. The. Citys crowded beaches restaurants busting at the seams this is how many of the well tourist hot spots looked. Well 1500000000. 00 tourists worldwide in 2019 this year it will be less than half that says the u. N. Well Tourism Organization some countries have reopened for business but visit is returning at least. Capri is known as the island of the rich and beautiful now visitors are slowly returning italy has been hit hard by the coronavirus the lockdown was long and tough italians are glad to be able to travel again. So even with that i can with my friends we havent seen each other for ages itll be great that whatever i feel safe again ive come from a long and im looking forward to a beautiful weekend with sun and see. The huge crowds of recent years have yet to return the stunning beauty of coppery can now be enjoyed by the few along with the exclusive shopping boulevards. In the center of copper a town is gelateria born of corduroy famous for its Homemade Ice Cream and other sweet treats at this time of year there are normally be long lines outside the shop given that one a quarter and her family were among the 1st to reopen when the lockdown ended in may but the regulations were so strict that hardly anyone came. To it. We had to throw away a lot in the 1st 2 days back in may were a disaster astrophysical made the shamo a lot of muscle so then we just made small amounts each day then gradually we made a little more and things got a bit better but they only gentlemen can will be. At the weekends business is almost back to normal italians have returned to the island in recent years theyve been avoiding it because of the crowds of wealthy visitors from abroad. Given his brother mario bakes all the pastries and cakes he and his team pried them. Making everything by hand using many local ingredients its important but this is the taste of coffee the flavor of our lemons the fresh recall and the yellow cream. Which is a lot and these here are another specialty with nuts. With hazel nuts. Is a move. With all mens. So far sales have only reached 10 to 15 percent of last years figures out of their 22 employees only 9 are working right now. During the week were still missing the germans the americans the russians its very different this year. No doubt theyre missing your pastries too. Yes im sure well get back to normal at some stage we just need to carry on. Cup 3 went into complete lockdown earlier this year when the coronavirus hit italy so badly for weeks no visitors were allowed anyone still on the island was stuck here. Mayor marino lembo tells us the island had very few cases of the virus he ordered a cautious restart with many safety restrictions. All the bars of this square are open. They were started their businesses and it feels almost like a normal summers day. I thought that i think this has taught people to appreciate what we have here in italy the beauty that we no longer noticed because it was so crowded that. If the mayor gets his way things wont return to the same levels of tourism seen in recent years hes even talking about setting up Marine Reserve areas. Giovanni anastasio and luigi parker audio are both fisherman during the whole. They season they normally take tourists out for trips along the coast to earn some extra income the highlight of any visit to coppery is the blue grotto which is only recently reopened expensive yachts would normally be jostling for space here now only the occasional one can be seen not all their friends gennaro is out in his rowboat with a couple of tourists on board but. Ive got to get out were open for visitors but business isnt great where we normally have 2000 people a day now we only have 200 i got one job with one other we used to be allowed 4 people on the board and now we can only take 2 off but its ok well do anything for a copy. But it wasnt to come about what you dont. Do when the fishermen show us their catch theyre a lot more enthusiastic the water is much clearer than it would normally be in summer. Nobody called me after call the 19 we started getting a lot more fish because the waters were quieter cleaner and the men up out there were fewer boats to frighten away the fish so they came closer to the coast you should know about the. Nature here has recovered somewhat now that most of the tourists and boats have disappeared. So to be here to take the siegels for example we almost had a problem with them because they had adapted to people now theyve returned to their natural habitat and arent feeding on landed a more but back out at sea. This path leads down to a popular beach thats normally throned in summer the many visitors have left scars on the landscape. From a video of a look at all the couples whove written their names here you get an idea of how many people we normally see here in the video. The Coronavirus Crisis has given capri time to rest and recuperate yet tourism provides a vital source of income its a difficult balancing act but at that magical time when the sun sets its easier to forget the problems and just enjoy the natural beauty. With more than half a 1000000 official corona virus infections south africa is the worst affected of all african countries thats despite the government swiftly introducing a strict lock down stay at home orders bans on the sale of alcohol and tobacco and widespread travel restrictions now its economy is paying the price unemployment has risen to a record high around a 3rd of South Africans are now officially out of work and its tourism has been particularly badly hit. This expanse of bush has never seen so few visitors. Today nice to have it all to themselves as far as the eye can see the new narrowing mandela the soft and after the cold mist the cloudy morning this morning the suns farming come on come up to the northern parts of the reserve. With their cameras alister lawyer and Neil Jennings capture the magic of the wilderness. For those who would normally sit in the back thats a far reaching. Move. These animals become instant celebrities straight away people in america or the u. K. Or europe actually know the lip of the lines maybe they kneel and i do sometimes really not sure of that we posted on one of these on these pages and people that have never been to africa never even. Try to tell us that its that. What they see today is a highlight even for the most experienced safari gite a leopard on the prowl. He set his sights on to mail in parlors. Greystone that bottle that they dont even notice the impending danger. But the females in the herd do and they sound the alarm. In the end it gives up. I mean terrorism which they come to a halt so we are very very worried he doesnt bring in anybody we do it just because because we love it. And this was just a way to try to soften it a bit you know just keep our boxing day. To day seems to be that lucky day. Just before darkness falls they encounter a pride of lions with cups. Back at the launch where the guests usually sleep neil and alistair at their videos. They release a new episode almost every day and viewers can give them feedback ran across here. Today they get a video call from brian now the regular guest at the reserve. Nearby who want. To harm you really good news right forms no. No Morning Coffee break. The law is now empty because the coronavirus. Guests and i longer allowed to spend the night. On summers absolutes the locals can still go on safari albeit in their own vehicles. But the reserves can only make enough money with overnight guests especially international ones. Most of the employees have been like. Thousands of South African families work in the Tourism Sector and the lack of guests threatens their life. For the workers on the safari its a matter of survival. The on site but donates meat to them i wanted to make for you and james to sherry and his wife have worked on the farm for a long time. But now that there are no guests theres nothing for them to do you. Know in the news for now i know that is a problem no they dont just drop us going to get married just for the day. But what about the future more recent being. The donated meat was sourced from the reserves on a most. They were trying to do is to at least do some culling of animals so that we. Might meet their very liberal. And also just self thats been trained. To at least 2 other words you know its a difficult times but its there on the system. But its in the. Theyve come across yet another great spot some very red wild dogs. South African Tourism lives from attractions like these but its uncertain how the sector can survive. We obviously missed the dish you know to show this this this to guests and hopefully when locked down the guests will be yes but at the moment it has been good spending time with with neil and sharing it with him. The 2 you will keep getting virtual safaris for the time being. They hope that by doing so at least the lodge wants to be forgotten. While south africas wildlife reserves eagerly await their return a visit to the pandemic has left others stranded abroad phone from home including some young scientists on the German Island of heligoland. Stretch it on the island. These 2 young scientists have been hoping to return to their home countries of india and kenya for weeks. But the coronavirus pandemic has thwarted their travel plans i feel a little sad that i cant be home yet. Its been all quite some time that ive seen my family and ive been there the 2 marine biologists were both awarded scholarships by the hour for the beginner institute for polar and marine research. Gabriela coco is interested in Climate Change hes researching how marine plants absorb c o 2 and how that might help mitigate the impact of Climate Change hes investigating how noise affects plankton. But he often thinks about his familys situation in kenya its a concern but. Theres tremendous are developing fast and it might be out of control of them they may have been me i swear i suffer from a pandemic. Gabriella coco stays in touch with his family in kenya on line hes been in germany for about a year. His life home has already been cancelled 3 times you are helping. People and it will depend on how governments are going up on power things are in there for the time being im kind of normal activity. And we hope that when the flights get back that im a watertower a dream chatter g. s in the same situation the longer she stays in heligoland the more frequently she thinks about her home city of siliguri and northeastern india i am very worried when i think about india in this situation my hometown has been put back on the lockdown completely because. Because the case is was so lost and so high and. That there werent any more facilities available in the hospitals to accommodate the people its just scary. But as long as she cant go back shell continue her research and how they go and i want to be a good scientist. So that i can protect our nature because i grew up very close nato and i have seen. It being destroyed and the more i know about it through science the more i can help protect it so sushis especially interested in protecting sharks in the indian ocean so interesting because they have always been portrayed. This monster as. From movies and everything and people are always terrified of them that is extremely gentle because and. They can theyre always more scared of you than you could ever be or that the Oceanography Center that eventually became part of the alfred begin to institute was founded on how they go and 130 years ago since then scientists have been coming from all over the world to work here yes. The 2 arent the only Research Scholars at the institute passed around here. There are 6 young researchers who havent been able to return home to this most of course they all want their Children Home but given the coronavirus situation in some of their home countries the families are quite happy to see their children stay here a bit longer. Other than as a popular vacation destination. Its known for its beautiful nature which the Young Students here also enjoy. Yeah the program was good we were able to mom a lot are good sounds like she came to do im there we hope that when the time limits of our our we are able to go back to our countries or meet our families or spend a good time there even though theyre enjoying their stay and heligoland their homesickness remains.
