Two weeks ago lebanons president says he will not accept resignation until he returns to the country has had the headlines the news continues and al jazeera after one on one east keep it or. On counting the cost venezuela in defocus the oil rich country fails to pay its debt well look at what a messy financial unraveling could mean for the starving people our lebanons economy is getting squeezed plus why zimbabweans are buying bitcoins counting the cost at this time on aljazeera. They are the global face of wildlife conservation. And after decades of campaigning panda numbers are now slowly improving. But why there are some wildlife experts warning the species is under more pressure than ever. Im still on this edition of one of one east we ask whats the future of chinas panders. On any given morning here in southwest china you can find thousands of die hard fans queuing up eager to be the first to catch a glimpse of chinas most famous celebrity. Family with their furry black and white coats they look very much like a cuddly teddy bear oh. My god. The one with the monster well. I know. That when you. Visit greeting center as more pandas than anywhere else in the world. Like rock stars their every move gets a reaction. Oh im sorry i ever. Knew. These girls traveled hundreds of kilometers over night to see them in action i think either on both of them or the whole you know kind of show much of the ice you. See. Known to be extremely shy in the wind here crowds get within a few feet of them. In crawl as they sleep. Like to i was. Scratching. The. Wrestler it was. An eat. And eat. And eat. An adult and it consumes up to fifty kilograms of bamboo shoots a day. There are now more pandas for the crowds to see thanks to developments in artificial insemination. From a handful of injured pandas rescued in the wild today the captive population has grown to more than four hundred and fifty. Last year pandas were taken off the endangered list. Should really is amazing how one animal can generate so much excitement among the question is how much are these crowds contributing to saving this missing person. Is one of chinas leading panda experts this whole cap for publication phenomena is something to do always. Love to animal to an extend that they want to touch human to own one. I would bet that if the policy allows people to raise pan as a pet the millions of people want to raise panda as a pet thats love a lot of hurt. Me has devoted decades to studying pandas in the Wild Research she serves is underfunded. If you talk about investment in Scientific Research observation of animals kept track of much more than the wild panda i would love to know how much money has been invested in captive population versus wild populations. He believes reading pandas in captivity is all about making a profit not protecting the species. Case in point that your poor beastie risen in northern china. Here tour operators are cashing in with two tenders yoyo and see job on display. Ok. Despite this being in the middle of the mountains there is little thats natural about their environment. Yet when we arrive we find them living on concrete floors. With trees. And behind glass. People young human beings says having them here serves a greater purpose. By bringing penned us here it will help a lot of people who dont have an opportunity to see them elsewhere to understand and my our national treasure. He says his pandas live a good life. Although their constrain our outdoor playground is still helping them the playground is basically like nature. Thats if nature has loud music. Still the pandas do seem to like the ski resorts outdoor enclosures yan says this is the closest thing to the wild that these two could ever survive. In a pool where. I dont think the stupendous can go into the wilderness theyve been kept in captivity too long. And he penned us to be reintroduced into the while need to start training from a very young age in order for them to better at that to the wilderness. China has tried to reintroduce anderson to the wild but it hasnt gone well. After decades of breeding out for showmanship was the first to be released in two thousand and six. Just a year later his body was discovered lying in the snow in a bamboo forest. It was far more than was full of loans on the bottom. Of handouts. Out of seven pandas that have been released the government says four are still alive. You can say we paid the price for our failed attempts but we learned our lesson. Yes. Judge and soon the man behind the governments plan to policies has hope for the future for me oh. Were using every way to teach these baby pandas how to survive in the wilderness where miss yardage in the teens all the time you know and we hope hand as will participate in mating and breeding activities as soon as possible that would maka ultimate success in sending them back to the wild but even some top experts within chinas own Breeding Program say releasing captive pandas wont work and is downright cruel. Agrees reintroduction is a very costly program personally i think its from a scientific point of view its not necessary because we have two cells and plus pandas in the wild because they can breed that they can live. And. Outsiders have never been allowed to venture deep independent territory until now. Weve been given exclusive access into these remote mountains in western china. And the modern and habitat. We join the world and his team of rangers their guardians of this vast expanse good as devoted twenty years to protecting pender. But its a hard life those last men to the harsh conditions here theyre going through think how to kind of you fit into the future for them. We dont want to know how i worked in the herds you know that her. Warman we talk about how. We know about one fourth floor. Of the place for one hundred five hundred minutes here for. They often spend weeks tracking pandas in subzero degree temperatures but its only about a predator floggings or two who got a little mind. Your new single too from the latter but too slow for the cool little gentle. Clean up think you are youll have. These pictures captured on a camera truck show the object of his passion unlike those in captivity these ones are living free in their Natural Environment its how home thinks they should live. A family to form an army and. On and on. Through from border to the new home. And much of the. New whether to war or not want to the. Border and home. While her seize millions of dollars a year is spent on captive bred pandas he and his men get on with little funding and support but theyve learned to make do. You watch. And so move are made by you there was just about to go. From here. The men are on constant lookout for signs bite marks. Prints. Or droppings. For who were shunted to feel that the war you out into the dorm how quick to jump. You know one of the public you know who and. Your crew had a problem with your. Throw out of the hook how many people here you lock. Up. Every bit of information they gather helps them better understand the animals they are trying to save. Tracking pandas for these four strangers is difficult difficult work so that means going through these dense underbrush trying to find their trail and its not easy. The landscape changes as we move deeper into panda territory and cut it with an. Old. Rule to do it in collier country without it if you can afford to do which a lot of. The reserve spans almost two hundred thousand hectares of forest and mountains of coke or material and kind of emptiness you know your home but what are the for you and the passion want to plant out a moment ago. According to her their recent surveys show this place has more pandas than anywhere else they estimate one hundred and ten live here. Well theres a number one or two of the trisha. Even with this concentration most of his men have only ever seen brief glimpses of these shy creatures. So rangers recently began installing camera traps throughout the reserve to better. Understand panda behavior. Listen. The men are eager to see what this cameras capture but their hopes are quickly deft. And clumsy things as a law suit on. Since it was hard to hide a low maintenance you know that youre the one. Disappointed they fit the device back on the tree. To make sure the angle is right their teammates pretend to be panders. And have a good. Deal to do. And you want it or. They hope the next time the camera will capture a panda. But for now we call it a day. The rangers are always worrying about the penders. Slight fluctuations in supply of bamboo has the times lead to many deaths. Just after dark were back on the panda trail. After several hours the rangers spot something. You know. So you this from others are you serious or just to my own trained eye it doesnt look like much but those teams have found proof a panda is near now you are trying to try to and i havent. So you had to have a plan for the use of the means you. Know how to do that. Some of the guys in the prison while the young men herded into today its hydro thing that goes on and its rooted in social mountain i mean i dont think the president s converging going for you going to go from here from the neutral. Further up the hill another discovery from you know. Logging a familiar she general you know. Was my name in kendo dont move from ban them. To good use of passion what are you to judge you for being you with a bit like i need you i dont mean we dont think you are she was high she would come with me go to this you know we didnt. We continue along a narrow ridge hoping the panda is right around the corner. We come across another camera truck shes. Hot. She said. She wasnt use. Who she was you have to shut your mouth oh yes i hear more from. This time we hit the jackpot. And when there are no. Knowledge of the challenge you. Know the. Kind of farmer you may wish to maul fox hunting. Well so far we found her paw print we found fairly fresh panda scat and a camera trap as actually captured a picture of a panda this is likely the closest well ever get to one of these wild creatures but its a pretty good day. Back at the makeshift camp its time to celebrate their success. The teens cooking up a feat. By. The words everyones in good spirits and for her its a chance to reflect on what theyve achieved in turn our corner and all the other when the ball would hop on the part of me where you are so well are from. Home and were going to go while theres lots of studies on how pandas live in zoos these images offer a rare insight into pandas in their Natural Environment woman to appeared on the mothers home or that someone on leave that. The house with a little to do a camp are going to leave that can the palm of the people who are without it all. He believes this knowledge will go a long way to help save the species and into its own way to my own human here thomas and. The proud owner of the no woman who could should all of whom we wish apart a mother to watch into the ocean of whom my mother did the children wanted to the kids here. And i want to hear from them with a gun and with a couple of financial problems. He says one thing theyve learned is that the cute lazy creatures most people see in captivity are nothing like their wild cousins. You know pointed out by a long way out. So you. Miss new. York. While the vision shows pandas can be vicious to each other humans are their biggest threat. In. The next day we see that threat on the edge of a nearby reserve. An entire city has sprung up here. Wildlife conservation expert the jury says theyve been pushing the government for decades to limit human encroachment into panda areas the best the pen the have all used to be a room remotes and the quiet know you have many people in it so quality of the handhelds paps are not in crazy. Its not just more people and more towns theres also pressure from big business. Its raining when we arrive on lawman mountain eleven panders call this place home but as we soon discover their sanctuary is also the site of a phosphate mine. Extracting this mineral from the earth in heavily damages the environment. In twenty twelve the government allowed the mine to expand operations. The river below has become a murky morass and an entire mountain is now being carved up how heartbreaking i mean this is a center of a panda reserve and look at the entire portions are torn up its hard to imagine how pandas could thrive let alone survive in places like this in past fifty thousand years we had. Pushed the panda up to. Environment. And then their orange pandas used to roam throughout china and parts of Southeast Asia now they are reduced to sixty seven reserves inside the country. Some are so small they dont have any pandas living within them. Last december after more than half a century of lobbying by conservationists chinas president announced plans to help the world parent are making a Massive National park and creating Wildlife Corridors connecting existing reserves. But it wont mean the end of captive panders they are just too valuable not only as money making Tourist Attractions but as diplomatic tools. Back in one thousand nine hundred seventy two u. S. President Richard Nixon and the first lady were given a pair of pants a reward for restarting relations between the two countries all of sudden there was a panda rush. That all of the world the panda. Today fourteen countries had pandas on loan rewards for lucrative deals with china. These two are in malaysia. But pandas dont come for Free Malaysia gives china more than a Million Dollars a year for the pair and another six hundred thousand for the couple of newborn. Add up all the pandas globally and china is raking in tens of millions every year eventually every one of them must also return home. Land pandas to. The all of the world in return get money back is that a commercial business or found raising for Conservation Program and how much of that money at least banned in conservation especially in wild population. Is there any come to believe. Check the government denies the Panda Program is about making money that a woman. Would put her for sure with the main purpose of sending zeus is not for profit but to promote the idea of wildlife protection. Conservationists like her the one dream of the day when this unique species no longer needs to play to the cameras in zoos. The dilemma is pandas are the beloved face a wildlife conservation. Is the world willing to simply let them disappear from sight back into the wild. More the publics love for pandas me they can never go home. Young rich and famous in china twenty one years goes behind the great chinese firewall to meet the cyber celebs of a booming multibillion dollar business. But this time on aljazeera. Most memorable moments with aljazeera was when i was on air as a host. With the crowds in Tahrir Square to hear. If something happens anywhere in the world how does iraq. Is in place were able to cover this like no other news organization. Were able to do it properly. And that is our strength. Violence and discrimination are all too familiar to many women in india a reality too often reinforced by bollywood. But its leading star is throwing his weight behind the cause. To believe and using his celebrity to advocate for gender equality. The snake charmers ahmed khan witness at this time on a visitor. The street is quiet the signal is given. Out yet so its safe to walk to school last year there more than thirty meters in this community in one month the police say this area is a red zone one of several in some townships and children sometimes a court in the crossfire when rival gangs fight so parents and grandparents have started what they call a walking bust to try to take the violence i lost my family you talking while im go i also lost my but there are more than one hundred fifty volunteers working for several working busses teachers say it is working class attendance has improved the volunteers also act as security guards.
