This is not normal. Inside the illegal gold trade. Profits are enormous destruction, immediate. But, what happens to that gold once it leaves peru . We have two of these gold chains in front of you. Just by looking at the chain itself, can you tell if either of these are dirty . What would be your quess . Im phil torez, im an entomologist. I do much of my research in this territory. Theyve tested the water theyve tested the sediment. Ill share my findings with marita davison. Shes an environmental biologist. What size of an area are we looking at here . And, Lindsay Moran, a former cia analyst. One of them was at macys, the other was at tiffany. So now, what can you say . Thats our team, now lets do some science. Hey guys welcome to techknow im phil torres joined by Lindsay Moran and marita davison. As you guys know, when i do my science its all spiders and butterflies. But when im in the field i love going to peru. The rainforest there is amazing but the last time i was there and i lo

And miles away from the main highway. To uncover a gold rush thatsurning lush jungle into utter devastation. High preessure water hoses and blasted out. And its not just the land. People are stepping into mercury. Im philtorres im an entomologist ive conducted Extensive Research in this rain forest so this story is personal. It really pains me to see this. Marita davidison is a biologist specilaizing in ecologyand evolution now she shows us the high tech tools that are exposing what even the eye cant see. So where its blood red, thats where the mercury polution is most intense. Well share our findings with Lindsay Moran shes an ex cia anaylist. Thats our team, everything weve been seeing. Its for this. Now lets do some science. Hey guys welcome to techknow im phil torres joined by Lindsay Moran and Marita Davidson. This upcoming episode is an important one to me it takes place in peru where ive done alot of my research and it is a tale of contrast we will see a rainforest full of new s
Return of these native animals. How many plant speices do you have in here . But volunteers trying to bring back one of the planets most complex ecosystems ran into trouble. We just needed something to help level the playing field. Why a certain animal from americas past was needed to pull off the impossible. Weve just arrived at the nachusa grassland and im seeing these bisson for the first time. Marita davison is an environmental biologist. Tonight, a trip to the heartland. Oh, theres a baby Cara Santa Maria is a neuroscientist. Im phill torrez. Im an entomologist. The epic drought of 2015 takes a hidden toll. From above these trees may look green and healthy, they are not. Here we see somthing thats dramatically different. Now the technology that can see what we cant. Thats our team. Im a prarie barber. Now lets do some science. Hey guys welcome to techknow. Im phil torres joined by Cara Santa Maria and Marita Davison. And today we are going to talk two environmental stories and to
