Ah ah, hello and welcome to a new series of arthritis. Its pretty com. Okay. It rather windy out amongst katara mind, greg forest. But the has been a real sense of urgency making this in the middle of a pandemic thats brought the worlds, which means and what started because we bringing nature to its needs over 19 is just one of many illnesses that its billed i, which was from wildlife as wait, quite frankly ponder the notch well and common to close to contact with viruses found that abolla saas h i, v aids, 3 out of saw emerging Infectious 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 as our own has never been clearer. But panoramic is also generated to decipher a Green Recovery thoughts or about here with Arthritis Solutions to the environmental crisis. Were starting a series by looking at protect to wildlife and that will help to prevent future outbreaks of exact origins of carbon, 19 or on known investigations have been carried out into the likes of bats and pilots and some spacious that these mammals remarked the 1000000 plants, animals threatened with extinction for there is hope. And yet now we meet the t rehabilitating traffic handler. And in Southern India local for defending the only remaining home of one critically and age of bats. Nearly one in 5. My move in the it is a bass and the rumors that surround their existence of a half as extensive as the bad family associations with darkness an evil witch of and vampire, including count dracula, have lead generation to see these flying creatures, a sinister. But the grind i toes of coal are a home to a unique bad conservation story for decades wiring devastating this 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 car 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 goal are leak. No spat only around 200 of these spots exist here. In the color conservation reserve, it is also home to 5 other bad species. The majority of which reside in a tiny cave in the rock face. I meeting with bats biologists, Roy Chakrabarti and citizens, scientists, raj, but just for my high a filing over night today they are capturing bats using miss nets and collecting d. N. A. Samples as night falls. These Nocturnal Animals begin to emerge out of the cave flying into the soft plate on the ring from there. And im thinking the function it will grow in 3 weeks time. Its remarkable to be able to see and endanger bob like the form of clothes basket vital rolling peak with since including pollination and controlling beth in the corner, leaf nosed bat, eats thousands of in fact each day. But threats including habitat, los and hunting, have left 21. 00 species of bats, critically endangered, globally, including this one. These birds have been all over 30000000 years on thank is believe weve lost touch or help them been hunting on the 33. You want to compare documents. Its been proposed that bats have links not only to coven 19, but also to other zonati diseases, which can spread from animals to human, including a bowler and stars. This is why the destruction of their habitat has potential Public Health consequences. Its only when people start destroying pointers and directly or indirectly gum in contact with bats and their habit that thats when these 2 logic diseases break out. So its not the back itself, but what we do to it that actually threatens, after the fishing bad use the 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 match play on st. Louis, you should just observe the speed at which they got you. And so 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 with hearing the spread of gov in 19 people have attacked baths around the world in march 2020, and solo indonesia. Hundreds of bats in a wildlife market were called on orders of the mayor. And in may 2020 authorities issued directives to protect bats 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. Bargain sri, nevada, who discovered calling me of color, leaf nose bath inside the cave in 2030. The species hadnt been spotted in several decades. We found the roasting side of the back and we found that the boat 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, folks. I know so the local communities, we also run a Signature Campaign with the religious vidarres continued for days that you know, you need to stop 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 bank habitat. These are the cut marks that you can notice over, you know, the mining that was happening back then because it had no disturbance after the habitat, the healing, and the for 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 Different Number back and are they coming back to the old hosting spot . The banks had stopped using the 2nd hosting site because they were moved out by d minus tis the mining band has happened 15 that, you know, daddy, they are coming back to doors. Interesting sites and the 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 leper sizes 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 call are leaf no spots 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 but scientists. Ah, i was right. Thanks to my face. So cool. Yeah, i mean, 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 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 good news is 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 a couple of them calling great. Now, you know, when i put these phones on, i can hear these battle goose ations 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 and they know what to do with the federally market galleria that people are germane and come from local farming villages around the result. She will say that it can be looked into why that is a comparison on tickets for managing perceptions around vilified species takes can oh, especially when public hostility to them runs high when im protecting bath 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 difference. Hey, i had a bad girl baba. Not a go on the law. No. At that a good by are that the will get back to, you know, my love what buddy . The god bear with my time here has left me with renewed optimism about the survival of the color 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 also willing from the facts, the kind of 19 panoramic. Remember what we said earlier, that a new Infectious Disease emerges every 4 months. Was hodges estimate there, a 1700000. 00 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 their 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 populations 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 and the 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 academic 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. Since its out of the pandemic, the cause to panic to become louder, but no regulation of calls will stop the illegal wildlife trait. And thats estimated to be worth 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 2 decades, with many of them being used in traditional medicines or served as highly prized to meet one of the better phil with the trade. And now im here to visit a tele cleanser basement or racing against tires to save the world. Only truly fairly mammal. Annoy the bustling capital of vietnam, thor 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 some vinegar, my uncle, and later, when i am a glass out of a form that one of the things like waive a late that night. Not too bad you have with get from the latin. When the bank allan is one of the worlds most traffic wild mammals, vietnam is home to 2 of its 8 species, the chinese and to soon dep 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. These globally were linked to vietnam. But there is still hope for this disappearing mammal. I am traveling south of annoying to come from National Park, where a local n g o is working tirelessly to rescue and release penguins. So i, i dont really, i knew alex hi, im douglas of your thumb. Like tying 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. They are currently 20 at the center all rescues from Trafficking Networks but in vietnam and others 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 few digits of his coat number at the center. The 7 year old last part of his front paw after being caught in a track. Hes now ready to be released. No, keep it bed day. Do you think ive had to deny that duke on toms helpful coin could sunday by sal date of man love equal book by one of the other part about the sam mangrio. Joe had not been given good. Im good. No, boss, hope marble and carla, why look my money that he got there night . Hey, you know totally fine. I pat i didnt hear from vehicle cravat. Man, i how im get the glam. Not when did you google . I dont what you did. They dont belong the obvious nam, the down. Be suzette the data matrangela lima downs and been much, you know, much older home to very about landey. Does it me much, nikolai, i dont. But local euclid name my, my with numbers plummeting. Each bangle in baby offers new home, yet their survival rate at the center is low with many born prematurely to females that arrived pregnant. But injured and stressed. Ready 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 when i went to inside and Nothing Happened when he might have been some would not give jam. Ready but i just went to human being offered him to take him in and one of the time alone with him. Let me think im in that job. I think this is the only baby at the center right now. Growing more independence by today, shell be able to breed herself within a year to take on the link, but on the tail. And i thought when i talked to him, who can, can, can even have that much in with me, that you know, the amount of work i angle ends are mostly nocturnal and at nightfall its time to prepare their 1st meal capital like 92 because it took im just kinda got to do the math some gram good night. What did they call pain as a new content, more look in. Although dawn of watching quick one wasnt and then go back home can. So i broke my leg and 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 st. Vietnams wildlife releases 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 o. All along. When you come to lamb busy this, im here with someone that you know kinda looking you. Wed go out there to put in the book, didnt on. Yeah, he much. And for a company do they do . He took all say 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 double click on that day. They tar larvae to do so. Thought, wow, i dont thought go to the coaching thing. 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 can come up with some so from this guy, think gun on the line. I gotten yet, but this is no good guy so much because the line with the 1st spangler, we set free is 1588 mortgage, 10 windows, dytanya. No good news, boy, behind lynette. That when im talking ive only been here for a few days, but during that time ive 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 think were so feel penguins left in the world. Every one 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.
