Most headlines and youth will continue on al jazeera, but 1st back to the bottom line by ah ah, hello and welcome to a new series of arthritis. Its pretty com, okay. It rather windy out amongst katara mind for a forest, but the has been a real sense of urgency making this in the middle of a pandemic thats brought the welds which means and which started because we could be bringing nature to its neighbors. Hope 19 is just one of many illnesses that has spilled. I, which was from wildlife as wait, quite frankly, plunder the Natural World and common to close to contact with viruses found that abolla saas, h, i, v aids, 3 out of saw emerging, infected diseases come from animals and one surfaces every 4 months. That the need to safeguard wild spaces like this one and to protect nature for its survival and our own has never been clearer. But panoramic is also generated to decipher green recovery. And thats what were about here with Arthritis Solutions to the environmental crisis. Were starting a series by looking at protecting wildlife and therefore helping to prevent future outbreaks of exact origins of coven, 19 or on known investigations have been carried out into the likes of baths and pallets and some species that these mammals are amongst the 1000000 plants. Animals threatened extinction for there is hope, and yet now we meet the t rehabilitating traffic panko lifts. And in Southern India local for defending the only remaining home of one critically endangered bats. Merely one in 5. My move in the world is a bat. And the rumors that surround their existence are perhaps as extensive as the boss family is. Associations with darkness, an evil witch of and vampire, including count dracula, have led generations to see these flying creatures as sinister. But the grind i toes of coal are a home to a unique batt conservation story for decades worrying devastated with land leaving its god and degraded. But that was supposed to stop when a colony of babs is discovered in a cave in these hills belonging to a species so rare that it was thought to be extinct. Ive come to canada got in india to find out how conservationists and locals took on the Mining Industry to win protected status for this land. The last remaining home in the world of the kohler league, no spot only around 200 of these spots exist here in bicola conservation reserve. It is also home to 5 other bad species. The majority of which resides in a tiny cave in the rock face. I meeting with bat biologists, Roy Chakrabarti and citizen scientists, raj, but to swear my high, i forget to finally number i for today they are capturing bats using mishaps and collecting d n. A. Samples as night falls. These Nocturnal Animals begin to emerge out of the cave flying into the soft next, the place of the ring from where im digging the function. It will grow in 3 weeks time. Mm hm. Its remarkable to be able to feed and endanger bob like the form of cloth batch play a vital role in ecosystems, including pollination and controlling pat bicola leaf. No spat. Its 1000 in saxony, but threats including habitat, loss and hunting, have left 21. 00 species of baths. Critically endangered, globally, including this one is about 7 or 30000000 years on thank is believe weve lost dr. Help them been hunting and interesting. Been encumbered documents. Its been proposed that baths have links not only to coven 19, but also to other zonati diseases which can spread from animals to humans, including a bowler and stars. This is why the destruction of their habitat has potential Public Health consequences. Its only when people start destroying porters and directly or indirectly gum in contact with bats and their habitat. Thats when these 2 logic diseases break out. So its not the bat itself, but what we do to it that actually threaten us of a bad use a technique called Echo Location that allows them to navigate using sound. They admit sound waves of very High Frequency, which bounce off objects, enabling them to quickly establish what is in their vicinity. If youve seen small batch fly on, on st. Louis, you should just observe the speed at which they got you and the anger leverage therapy is whether its clear whether its better, whether its object or whether its another. But so they do all these calculations in 3 to 5 milli seconds, which is really faster than any super computer. The more i find out, im like a hearing the spread of gov in 19 people have attacked baths around the world in march 2020 in solo, indonesia, hundreds of bats in a wildlife market. Were called on orders of the mail. And in may 2020 authorities issued directives to protect bath across the state of rochester in india, after more than 150 were killed there. The the color region is one of india dry, nice mining top minus still be on the hill would not for the determination of that scientists, dr. Bar given sri, nevada, who discovered it, call me of call or leave notes back inside the cave. In 2030. The species hadnt been spotted in several decades. We found the listing side of the bat, and we found that the mining logic in mining happening lots of trucks on the hill. And the mining had come to almost 100 meters near the listing site. So immediately be alerted the local authorities 1st and also the local communities. We also run a Signature Campaign with the religious, with ours continued protest that you know, you need to start mining. A ban on mining happened in january 2015. And an area of 223 acres was declared, a conservation resolved in 2019 finally bringing protection to this critical bat habitat. These are the cut marks that you can notice over you. Off the mining that was happening back then because it had no disturbance after the habit that the healing and the 1st signs of healing is the presence of grasses on it. On this. I mean, it just goes to show that when you give a line the time to hear it will bounce back. Have you seen a difference in number back and are they coming back to the old hosting spot . The banks had stopped using the 2nd thing site because they were moved out by the minor says the mining band has happened 15 that you know, daddy, they are coming back to doors. Interesting sites and their populations have also increased wonderfully re. Im do you think that populations will continue to grow . Yes. Kind of reclaiming last land in the sense yes, exactly. Various species of body. Dia, im even predators. Like let us have been cited in this landscape in the recent past. All because of the protection that a batch brought in to do it, and i am heading inside the cave to try recording the High Frequency vocalizations of the color and leaf nose. Thats using an ultrasound recording device will be getting right up close to them. The cave is less than a meter high and 15 meters deep. Im pretty sure there are no claustrophobic bath scientists. Ah, i was right. Thanks to my face. So cool. Now i, so we are the ones who are here, but none of them are back in country to familiar belief is actually allowed, does not ex so yes, the back detector. You can see the axis course from 10 to 200 kilo hertz. So this is frequency we had to sustain. So this specter graham represents the sounds at the bottom making right now. Yes, thats 8. 00 to 9. 00 times more than what we can higher than what we can. You know, thats the only thing that the color leaf no spot has a distinct call which can be used identified amongst other baths in the cave. To hear it without disturbance. I need to put your phones on his a couple of them calling great. Now, you know, when i put these your phones on, i can hear these battle stations that sound almost alien. But as soon as i take them off, i can hear the sounds of the communities who live nearby, of the farmers who live alongside that. I mean, if theres any evidence of the fact that bats and humans can co exist together seamlessly. This sounds good is exactly that. The, this resolve would not have been possible without the support of the community. Some of them have become ranges. But again, the federally market galleria that people are germane and come from local farming villages around the result. It should say that it can be looked into why that is a comparison on tickets for managing perception around vilified species takes can oh, especially when public hostility to them runs high when im projecting back in the 21st century. A will entail engaging with the local communities will live alongside baths and awareness workshops like this with the next generation can make all the different pay. I had a bad girl baba not a go on the no at that again or the go by are that the will get back to me and on my love what buddy . The god, bear with my time here has left me with renewed optimism about the survival of the goal. Are leaf no spot now that its only home has been safeguarded for the future. If anything this pandemic has heightened the need to fiercely protect every last corner of habitat that were left with a newly protected areas like girl r, r a step in the right direction. Me. So were all still waiting for the effects. The kind of 19 panoramic, remember what we said earlier, that a new infectious disease. Just every 4 months was hodges estimate there a 1700000 virus has yet to be discovered in mammals and birds on around half if they could cross over to human. Now when that happens, its really down to us. Any given species of animal has viruses and bacteria that circulate within that population of animals. These are viruses that are grown up with that animal over evolutionary time point. Theyve come to an understanding and through normal interactions, different animal species might exchange viruses or bacteria. Those pathogens are able to jump from one animal to another. Human activities, like agricultural, intensification and expansion of farming systems, deforestation, and Land Use Change even the wildlife trade or moving wildlife out of the Natural Environment and moving them around the world. These are the types of activities that bring people into closer contact with wildlife and create opportunity for those viruses that normally would circulate within wild animal population to make the jump into people. And that can happen directly or via domestic animals. And once a virus successfully makes the jump from animals into people, then if its able to spread from person to person, has the opportunity to do that through social interactions locally where a local outbreak might occur. But really because were connected globally more so than we ever have been in history, all it takes is a person getting on an airplane, carrying a news do an audit virus. And that virus moves from one location to many locations. And thats how a localized epidemic becomes a global pandemic. Its almost guarantee that were going to see another large scale up demick or even a pandemic, whether its a corona virus or another type of do an audit virus. As long as were continuing to do the types of activities around the world that allow these viruses to jump from wild animals into people, we need to stop thinking about epidemics as random chance events that were victims of. We are directly influencing and have the power to prevent pandemic from recurring. We need to make better choices and do things to protect ecosystems in the Natural Environment around us, which is ultimately going to protect our own health and security on the Global Wildlife trade. As weve heard is one of the things increasing the risk of animal viruses coming into contact with humans. And since its out of the pandemic, the cause to panic, to become louder, but no regulation of course, well stop the illegal wildlife trait. And thats estimated to be what up to 23000000000 dollars each year. And its driving a number of animals to extinction on x stop is vietnam to make conservation is protecting one of the tropic kings most vulnerable victims. Ah, angle in have been roaming the earth for at least 45000000 years. But now they are threatened with extinction despite and International Trade ban, nearly 1000000 have been traffic over the past few decades, with many of them being used in traditional medicines or served as highly prized to meet one of the better philip at trade. And now im here to visit a tele probation. It were racing against tires to save the world. Only truly, fairly mammal. Annoy the bustling capital of vietnam, far removed from the natural habitat of a shy, sensitive, wild animal. But behind closed doors, illegal trade and penguins continues here. Even with the countries tough Wildlife Protection laws and the Prime Minister, calling for their strict enforcement after the colbert 19 outbreak. Im on my way to the center of hanoi, a popular destination for people looking for traditional chinese medicines. I hear its not hard to find the animal scale here for a range of Health Issues from arthritis to lactation, problems. Im going under cover with our producer whos got a hidden camera. Well tell the shopkeepers im seeking remedies for my sister was just had a baby and is having trouble with breastfeeding. Which i sick stores. Shopkeepers either tell us they dont sell scales because its illegal or say they have them, but get suspicious. Then we find something. Then even my uncle and my dad, when i am a form that have one of the same, like wait a bit, they love it. And they have to let you know, i think that that that, that im going to get from boston with the bang. Glenn is one of the worlds most traffic wild maam. Off vietnam is home to 2 of its 8 species. The chinese and assumed up hangal in both are critically endangered globally, and their numbers are thought to have fallen by 80 percent or more in recent decades. Wildlife trade Monitoring Network traffic estimates that between 201620 nearly 90 tons of the animal scale. Seas globally were linked to vietnam. But there is still hope for this disappearing mammal. I am traveling south of annoying to Cotton National park, where a local n g o is working tirelessly to rescue and release penguins. So im so tired of it. I knew alex hi, im douglas of your thumb like tie and his team have returned nearly a 1000 penguins to the wild since 2014 and are preparing to release another 7 over the next few days. There are currently 20 at the center all rescues from Trafficking Networks within vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries. Many of the animals that come here are weak d hydrated and have serious injuries like this one angle in 1588 identified by the last 4 digits of his coat number at the center. The 7 year old lost part of his front paw after being caught in a track. Hes now ready to be released. No keep it should bed 18th. Ive had the day and i do come now. Chums helpful coley could sunday by sal date of my luggage. Cool. Book by one of the other part of the fam cut mangled l chow had not been given. Im good no boss ho, marble and carma away with my money that he got there night a yet another thoughtful i path out there, but yet from vehicle cravat. Mad like how im get the glam, not little youll google. I dont what you did there now . No, but long the of it nam, the down. Be suzanne. Wow. That they had a much on the environment downs and been much, much older home to very about lam d to does it me, monique ally, dont but look, we name my, my with numbers plummeting each. Paddling baby offers new hope. Yet their survival rate at the center is low, with many born prematurely to females that arrived pregnant, but injured and stressed. Since 2014, only 10 out of 23 made it this female. Now 3 months old is a welcome. Me, the man he land. Line and one moment to which i know Nothing Happened when he might have been a somewhat not give jam congested. Where did i pay him . In may of the taking a man in money that im trying to load here. Let me think im in that job. I think this is the only baby at the center right now. Ready growing more independence by today, shell be able to breed herself within a year to cut that to take on the link, but on the tail. And i thought when i talked to him, i couldnt even have a good high than my much. And with that, you know, the amount in with me, you know, i hangal ends are mostly nocturnal and at night its time to prepare their 1st meal capital like 92. 00 because it took im just kind of got to dump and find some nice what did they call pain as a new content more look in. Although dawn of watching quick one, what was that dental dot com . Can i book my last name . Got a like i am, im joining 1588 for his dinner or rather breakfast amputated. Penguins dont always recover. Well enough to be released, so he is one of the lucky ones. Not many meals to go here before he has to find his own in the wild. Save vietnams wildlife release, his penguins in protected areas, which are controlled by forest ranger team. These need to be on constant alert to ensure the animals dont fall prey to their most dangerous animal. Poachers. But there is another threat. The rangers will need to look out for passages. No evidence has been found, but colbert 19 originated from penguins, but some have been known to carry corona viruses related to the one behind the disease. Today the rangers are being trained to take samples from animal encounter in the while to Aid Ongoing Research efforts on the potential spill over of disease. The specimen for todays training is a dead stork. Oh, all along what. What . When cumberland busy this and i went back just know kinda looking you. Wed go out there to put in the book, didnt on. Yeah. He marked in full on it didnt do that. They do it with back at the center. Its the big day. Final Health Checks have been done. Microchips attached and penguin, 1588 and 6, others are ready to be released. Hell cooking into gum. When did they know that that would come with some good. Got that day. They tar larvae to do so. Thought, wow, i dont thought of the quote that you were going to begin or 5, our journey to a National Park and Central Vietnam where the penguins are going to be released under tight security tonight. Ah. Ready ready can come look at some so from the gun on the line i gotten yet the piece of no good guy so much because the line with the 1st spangler, we set free is 15. 88 more data, 10, windows dytanya. Not good news. Boy, by clicking on it when im talking ive only been here for a few days, but during that time i really seen how vulnerable these creatures are. So this is a really special moment. I just hope they dont end up as trafficking that i stick with. So feel pan gallons left in the world. Everyone that survives in the wild really count. Ah, the coffee 19 panoramic has revealed only chick lady how our Health Depends on the planets. It is also shown that nature can thrive given half a chance during low downs weld over. There was sightings of animals reclaiming open spaces as we retreated into our homes, dolphins phonics and the boss 1st list sample in turkey came as crowds. The santiago chile mountain goats roam the streets. The welsh have landed in the u. K. Beaches emptied out. Threatens had lasted an unusually high numbers. The u. S. Highland tacky and tear and cut up. These glimpses of nature at ease were relatively common during lockdown. They served to remind us, we must re negotiate our relationship with the Natural World. White the lives of our fellow creatures on earth they bought own depends on it. These, as coven 19 has shown us, they really do one 3rd of all the foot produced is the wasted, with tens of thousands of put outlets.
