Help is its hands. 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 and zoos circuses or amusement parks at least 15000 elephants worldwide live in captivity in asia many of them are used as working animals or 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 the ball the thai 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 who have 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 watch and be yours the money to come and the congress gilmore 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 charlie says this has done little to change the taming practice known as elephant crushing. The tie everything and that now is the body and that you have the whole. Lot of the brush reading everywhere. The baby are bravely you can see the blood when i walk on the. 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 this. But up that cub whole lot of how i cry i cry with a lot of disappointed about here when. I angry angry rip read the paper that is. That. She day. And her team are once again on a rescue mission this time the conservationists will collect 7 elephants from this riding camp southwest of bangkok and bring them to the reserve near chain my the camp owners themselves contacted chandlers foundation and asked for help as hardly any tourists are coming to ride the elephants to the corona virus 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 costs them nearly a 1000. 00 euros a month for food and care. The final part 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 a pandemic we had to close the camp from. 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. To. The camp owner and his elephant tamers dont want us to look too closely as the animals are though it on to the trunks they say that facing the reasons we must keep our distance. Not really easy to go under because. What in that is mean that life would be easy and again. Experience ready that. The previous. Day might be a beautiful prayer. So now that. They would take them somewhere is there not quite. Before setting off the elephants must be fixed into place on the platforms each animal gets its own frame made of bamboo stomachs. 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 in the early afternoon. 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 up. No was this is all. There was to them and theyve broken the frame and the frame to it of the role and theyd be if the kid had it on david to talk. After about an hour the problem is fixed and the adventure can continue. The elephants now seem somewhat more relaxed. The rescuers knew just what to do to calm them down. It wasnt love that little to. As long as the feeling. That im hungry and no one. Made. The journey old smooth. 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 park north of chainline the team is exhausted and has hardly slept but nothing can dampen her mood. Although they have. Elephant angry so yeah. I feel believe. Once the restraining bars have been removed its time for the elephants to take their 1st steps into a new life. One. Look at 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. You know much 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. That. Citys crowded beaches restaurants busting at the seams this is how many of the worlds tourist hot spots looked last year that were 1500000000. 00 tourists worldwide in 2019 this year it will be less than half that says the u. N. Well to chill with some organization some countries have reopened for business spent visitors are returning at least slowly. Capri is known as the island of the rich and beautiful now visitors are slowly returning italys been hit hard by the coronavirus the lockdown was long and tough italians are glad to be able to travel again and still been with the 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 comp prieto on this july chilly airborne according to famous for its Homemade Ice Cream and other sweet treats at this time of year theres normally be long lines outside the shop job on that one accordion her family were among the 1st to reopen when the lockdown ended in may but the regulations were so strict that hardly anyone came. Up with them to. We had to throw away a lot of ink the 1st 2 days back in may were a disaster astrophysical made the shamo lamo muscles and then we just made small amounts each day and then gradually we made a little more and things got a bit better a only job only income would 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 pride themselves on making everything by hand using many local ingredients is important because 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. As 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. Coupling 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 mari know lembo tells us the island had very few cases of the virus he orders a cautious restart with many safety restrictions. All the bars of this square are open to meet up. They were started their businesses and it feels almost like a normal summers day and so you have been saying 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. Given the anastasio in luigi parker audio or both fisherman during the Holiday 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. 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 the other 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. Because about what you dont. Get 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 covered 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. A little bit easier to take the siegels for example we almost had a problem. Im with them because they have adapted to people now theyve returned to their natural habitat and arent feeding on landed anymore but back out at sea so. 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 boat look at all the couples whove written their names here you get an idea of how many people we normally see here in. The Coronavirus Crisis has given car preterm 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 Coronavirus Infection this sounds africa is the worst affected of all african countries that 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 these 2 have it all to themselves as far as the eye can say that afternoon everyone else the soft and after the cold misty cloudy morning this morning the suns i mean come on come up to the northern part of the reason. With that congress allister lawyer and Neil Jennings capture the magic of the wilderness. For those who would normally sit in the back of the us a far reaching. These animals become instant celebrities straight away people in america or the u. K. Or europe actually know the lines maybe they neal and i do sometimes we not short of that on one of these on these pages and people that have never been to africa never even been to. Tell us that. What they see today is a highlight even for the most experienced safari guide a leopard on the prowl. He set his sights on 2 male impalas. Who are so engrossed in that battle that they dont even notice the impending danger. But the females in the herd. And they sound the alarm. In the end it gives up. I mean terrorism is virtually 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 up you know just keep boxing day. To day seems to be that lucky day. Just before darkness falls they encounter a pride of lions with cups. 3. Back at the lodge where the guests usually sleep neal and. They release a new episode almost every day and viewers can give them feedback ran across. Today they get a video call from brian now hes a regular guest at the result of. Some really good news right now with. Your Morning Coffee break. Ready to give you. The. Is now empty because the coronavirus. Guests are no longer allowed to spend the night but on some reserves at least the locals can still go on safari be it in their own vehicles. But the reserves can only make enough money with overnight guests especially international ones. Most of the employees have been laid off thousands of South African families work in the Tourism Sector and the lack of gas threatens the life. For the workers on the safari its a matter of survival. The on site but donates me to them i wanted me for you know 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 going on which was. Now i know that is a problem no they dont just drop us good just for the day. But what about the future more recently. The donated meat was sourced from the results on a most. They were trying to do is to at least do some culling of animals so that we. Make that meter available to us. And also to our stuff thats been trained. To at least tell them that you know its a difficult times but its right on the system. Back in the island on a step. 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 sex a consumer if. We obviously missed the gifts you know not to show this this this to gifts and hopefully when you walk down a gas will be yes but at the moment it has been good spending time with with meal and sharing it with him. But you will keep giving virtual safaris for the time being. They hope that by doing so at least the large werent seeing be forgotten. While south africas wildlife reserves eagerly await the return a visit to the pandemic has left others stranded a brawl with phone from home including some young scientists on the German Island of heligoland.

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.

Because the case is was so lost and so high and. That 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 helical and i want to be a good scientist. So that i can protect our nature because i grew up very close m h o and i have seen. It being destroyed and the more i know about it through science the more i can have predicted so soon shes especially interested in protecting sharks in the indian ocean so interesting because they have always been portrayed.
