Researchers from germany are trying to learn more about these mega bats to do that theyre hoping to catch a few of them with a net the scientists are setting up the trap at 2 am because it must be ready before sunrise but im flying foxes are nocturnal they can still see better by day than at night because unlike other bats flying foxes dont anchor locate they use their sense of sight to navigate. As an instance and its we must always keep the net off the ground and then open up the compartments so it hangs completely straight at the top so the bats dont see it and it deflate them was it isnt seen that work in complete silence with no light and only night vision goggles get them and then we hope will catch them but you never know. These are the images from the night vision goggles at night for flying foxes lead to trees where theyve spent a day sleeping and set off in search of food mainly fruits and berries. The researchers wait for 2 hours and then they have a stroke of luck for flying foxes get caught in a nets. Carefully they on tangled them. Each of these sacks contains one flying fox base keeps them from getting injured until the researchers have time to examine them now in the Early Morning light it becomes evident why these animals are flying foxes. One fascinating about this animal is that its probably flown 2000 kilometers to get here to meet with millions of others but we dont know where its come from nor if it will return to the same place or go elsewhere. But that could soon change for the 1st time researchers are trying to follow the mega bats flight path by attaching transmitters to them the devices look big but wait just a few grams. In an incredible feat of strength the flying foxes make their way to zambia each year covering thousands of kilometers on seemingly fragile wings with their nightly search for food is impressive to fruit bats travel up to 200 kilometers each night in a few months time the scientists hope theyll know more about the exact path of the largest mammal migration the flying foxes given a piece of apple to give it strength then its allowed to return to the forest. The forest measures just 5051000 metres its small size makes it hugely vulnerable. To gamekeepers patrol here regularly to protect both the forest and the animals and these men have been doing this job for close to 30 years but they still look forward to each november when the flying foxes come and stay for 4 weeks where once 200 species of flying fox but 8 have become extinct and another 22 are endangered. And humans are to blame for cutting down the forests and destroying their natural habitat. So this Little Forest in zambia is important to the animals survival hugh if they are continuing coming every year every year and north even a year in between for me i mean 2 percent that you. In my will say it will be very difficult for they are finding a place. Its mainly poachers who are threatening their natural habitat the poachers keep setting fires around the Little Forest if they figured with the trees gone grass will grow in this one attract antelopes hole then be easy prey in open terrain theories and i did go bending her at the 40 im with going to be here for that through through the end with and there for 4 to proof that this there it can be there for them if thats related to benny in the books of my job or for dangerous thing because. Theyre using. Some. Criminals. They can even shoot at before. Thats one of the risks of my job. Says. While the coaches do pose a great danger to the flying foxes what they really are after is the animal whose tracks the 2 gang keepers are now following. The antelope. Hunters could strike at any time. And colomba say that if they can prevent them from setting fires then theyre flying foxes will survive. Thats why park relies on one sarka a man known here as the Education Officer. He pays regular visits to the surrounding villages because thats where most of the poachers live. With people like joseph. Is actually a farmer who grows. Vegetables. Yams are growing in these mounds of earth. The Education Officer the most of his harvest goes towards feeding his family so he has little left to sell. The. I had to pay my Childrens School fees and hunting seemed like the easiest way. Out snares and the next day id usually cotton and. I sell it so much children could go to school now. Has 10 children to feed. And hes like many here driven to poach out of sheer debt. Not create. A community should. They protect what we have in the back so that we have a lot of people being employed in the back our local groups who be buying from them when theyre going to do our local funny and thats the same game if we are going to have a lot of 20 scamming to the back they brought to the environment. Farmers like joseph are now being told more efficient farming methods so they can better their incomes without resorting to poaching. That. They can in money. Along an instructor. And his wife how to get rid of us and how to fertilize their fields naturally. It seems to be working well. Joseph says through with poaching hes even willing to put up with a flying fox is eating fruit from his trees. Some villagers used to be off the trees and skinned them. Today that rarely happens though sometimes children catch and kill for their grandparents. Like you want to. Even today the Education Officer still encounters prejudices and age old to blues where flying foxes are concerned they want provided a reliable source of meat each november for families in the villages and myths and superstitions still surround these maggots. We pay a visit to the villages traditional healer. And. So thats what i want to. Download i want to. This world is full of juarez and sorrow she sings. Knows the villages concerns before she talks about the flying fox says she 1st wants to get a sense of whats troubling he can in masaka to get an appointment with you must agree to undergo treatment you know. Some people burn flying foxes then they have the ashes tattooed under their skin in the hopes of acquiring the mega bats abilities. Like being able to see better at night. But of course thats not ok. If you if youre. In the hillary shows and she doesnt use any flying foxes in her medicines she prescribe a powder which she says will help him with his biggest problem janice colleagues. Take it morning noon and night 3 times a day. She says the powder is a purely already. But the. People who make medicine from flying foxes catch them with a sticky substance that they smear on the branches of fruit trees the animals become attached to it like magnets thats what these sorcerers do but some of them also know how to call the animals come flying and let themselves be caught easily if thats how they do it but definitely. Tradition needs to play a major role here even those who reject medicines made from flying foxes still seem to believe in sorcerers and the magical powers of mag about and that doesnt make it any easier to protect the terrible. Saga has another appointment in the village today he says theres only one way to combat superstition by educating young people if the next generation understands that flying fox is dont possess supernatural powers that will help to ensure the animal survival. Is 16 and one of the best pupils in the village and soccer takes a look at her homework and her grandmother beams with pride.

I love going to school because i learn new things that i hope that one day i can. Lead a life like people elsewhere and become a teacher or a doctor. Thats why i like going to school most of all. This is the toughest that theyre going through at salon School Uniform tuition and books and now paid for her educating young people like is an investment in natural conservation. Grasshopper soup is on the menu today salons grandmother has 11 months to feed but things are looking up since salon want her scholarship. If she actually finishes her education then maybe she can contribute some money to help me then i could hire a farm hand to help with the work and buy some food if you actually. Got a salon has become an environmental ambassador just like a mental you can one soccer today hes against in salons class at school. A few of you say the soles of your grandparents will return us flying foxes. But the truth is theyre gods creation and have no magical powers we know. Now its time for an expression when soccer is taking so long and some classmates on a trip to the National Park. And its an opportunity for us to see animals that we dont know yes hes big ones too i mean that and we learn why its important to protect the bush. Most of the youths have never been to cassandra National Park before though its just 10 kilometers from their village. In the park theres a museum designed specially for visits from School Groups on display ask alms of crocodiles hippos and of course bone. From flying foxes them mainly what the children are here to learn about educating schoolchildren is part of the fight against poaching and prejudice. Gamekeeper colombia is here to to ensure the childrens safety hes painting is hopes on this younger generation. When they grow may be gainsaid to combine the work which we which im doing. So i maybe did in order goodness of what i said it was. After 3 hours of theoretical instruction theyre heading for the bush. Children from other classes are also riding in the truck. A total of 40 young people profit from the car some kind of Scholarship Program. Isnt the only one the park is training to be an environmental ambassador thank my so for National Park lies in a swamp if its a natural habitat for animals that are rarely seen elsewhere in the region so rangers on soccer and colombia want to show the young people one of these creatures extremely rare. Until. Tourists come from far and wide to see them this is the 1st time these local children have cited one. So you can see appreciate it he said i think. Its scotts well if you say so traditional and what does he say so i think a story still that id be so interested in that day. Generation i just im ok so how come i see so if thats so lon can hardly tab south away from now until ive found there is no time to waste so its getting dark and a few kilometers away the 1st flying foxes have already woken up and left the words. Im so glad i get to see this ill tell everyone how. That night falls and the flying foxes take flight. 11 hours later dont want his breaking and the fine folks call and he returns just before sunrise. The scientists from germany are here watching them they hope that their research will help people to realize how vital these mega bats are to the ecosystem. Many people fear flying foxes because theyre suspected of transmitting ebola virus and other diseases. Of the Max Planck Institute considers that unlikely. Theyre eating in vast quantities in many countries people use lead shot to shoot them down and pick up the bats while theyre bleeding and biting if that was so dangerous wed be seeing constant outbreaks in hospitals but thats not the case. Then they take the road out of the words. The scientists hope to prove that flying fox is a necessary for the bushs very survival. Thanks to their droppings flying foxes describes large amounts of seeds throughout the region promoting the growth of bushs and fruit trees. Now the researchers hope to learn just how many of these mega bats are flying around every night until now theyve only been able to estimate their numbers the scientists have begun to set up cameras around the forest in order to count them later theyll use Specialized Software to analyze the ideals of. The great thing is it gives us much more than just their numbers so we can see when the winds coming from the north do they then off myself and we want to find out if they communicate with one another when they make these tornadoes is that tornadoes. Have. Received another visit from the National Parks Education Officer. Is here to show the farmer how he can more money without having to resort to poaching by extracting honey. The smoke from the fire is supposed to calm the beats the National Park is training farmers like to become beekeepers. Some 4000 hives unplanned about bali a is in a bit unsure of himself hes only been a beekeeper for 2 weeks. Is this that you have seen. Of but in it as they are going to put in a death they help nobody made for 3000 this year but its hard for this time as were able to support their population overall the number of which will be many either the same time they will be able to move in that evening from the island they are they have they have a sting from living here that while yet is working with our plants as he translates in effectiveness of the smoke right away he gets stung 5 times but monsanto says that wont happen once the new beekeeper counts down. He heads home babs the work of an Education Officer is never really done on the way he meets a man making charcoal in a pot of. Many people do this here to and some extra cash on government in the us and it got him but now that the bill if i sell the charcoal my wife can use the money to buy fish for the family. But that doesnt convince him in months he knows that every tree felled by charcoal burners is one tree less for the ecosystem one less for flying foxes and other creatures. This takes so many years for the truth and i thought the states had to find that we even if would be the end of them had to be destroyed so they sometimes there is immortal. Conservation is is there more that we have come up to sale and destroy one rather good plan for. Months our count tries to persuade the charcoal burner to join the beekeepers in training her the man doesnt know convinced selling child call home is a quicker way to earn cash. Her was. Back at the Village School salons big moment has arrived. There was no. Question you know she doesnt just tell her fellow pupils about flying foxes she also explains that you dont always have to chop down trees to make a final and that sometimes the reflection from a light is enough to ignite providing you use the right combustible material salon recommends using dead leaves and rotten tree bark and National Park awarded salon and her classmates an award for coming up with this idea. Or whatever it is i dont see it its important to protect the environment especially the bush thats because the trees that produce oxygen for us and of course the bush is also a habitat for animals so. I care to save our flying foxes sing the children. Are low down. Most of the schoolchildren in the village have long understood locks some adults here still fail to comprehend that we eat what. They gamekeepers move beyond and colomba have discovered the side of the. Out of fire located not far from the rangers camp the poachers are growing ever bolder fresh green grass is now running here but thats not the only draw advanta lives. In the mud even and was that is going to why did they come one. After the banning come what if theyre they come if you dont want to ashes so as a last resort the gun keepers themselves chop down bushes and trees so. This creates a fire break around the words to prevent a blaze from spreading to the forest where the flying foxes congregate they environmentalists sacrifice trees to protect other trees. Meanwhile night is falling and the flying fox is take to the skies again. The german scientists estimate that there are around 10000000 fruit bats here but they also believe that their numbers have been declining for years and that this could have dramatic consequences. Be good enough because if you extrapolate it that means each night they spread millions of seeds and therefore plant trees and if thats not happening it would be an incredible loss to the environment because the indians lies dont follow. The fate of the flying foxes lies in the hands of the people in the surrounding villages. And salaams generation promises to play a major role each night she reads a few verses from the bible before she goes to sleep she says its even written in the holy scripture that people must protect nature. Telling people that bats dont have evil powers that good for some species even eat insects that would biter. Salon says that gaunt created flying foxes and its our responsibility to ensure the discreation survives she hopes to convince everyone to do that bought. More than a friend.
