I am Indonesian, currently studying in college, my major is Biology. Many students, our next scientist were so vocal about this issue in their students commitee, student environmental movement, and such like that, but when they graduated they were just ignored it, and forgot about their 'so called movement'. I cannot blame them yet when I am watching this series my heart is hurt so much, and I immediately thinking "Dear Biology graduates where are you? They need you so much".
I dont want to be a hypocrite because I am same with them, but this series opening my eyes and thinking what can I do for them when I graduate later. Dear BBC, thank you for making this series. It hits so much.
they only cared for scores and grades.. maybe put their past roles into those sweet resumes..
@@AyedUA-cam I would not say that (I do not know their motivations), but it could simply be some found it a choice like the villagers face, putting the needs of their own families up against the needs of a noble cause, when that noble cause is facing multiple threats from multiple sources so they worry if they do choose the noble cause over their family it could be in vain. This is something governments should be getting involved in, not leaving it to ordinary people to fight alone.
@@glenbe4026 well, i can accept that. i was just poking fun at them anyway :)
Thank You for sharing. I love elephants and hope to see the Sumatran kind one day.
Some people have no respect for animals ... this is sad
What do we want - development or the conservation of the natural ecosystem? We can't pick the both.
@@ashuu3 jeez I don't know what do you think duhhh
Ashutosh Upreti conversation is more important as that’s the only remain home for the the animals. We human can found a different way to develop.
@@yosman-609 disagree
@@yosman-609 its the government’s job to find other sources of income
Who decided audio in one ear was a good idea?
This tripled my hangover
Aww they are beautiful elephants 🐘 ❤️
Do NOT let anyone harm that land or the animals there. It would be better for 1000 developers to die than for one elephant to be harmed.
Once you sell your land, that's it. And money always runs out. Then you're far worse off than you started.
May all your family be a part of it too.
Sickening lack of empathy for human life.
Please get off your high horse. I would sure like to see you act differently if you were the one living the lives these poor farmers/poachers have to live through.
when u think ur headphones are broken
I wish I can do something to contribute saving them ):
Saw an article just now. The number of Sumatran elephants is now less than 800. This is absolutely sad.
Awesome 👍
Beautiful nature. ...
When is season 2 releasing?
Beautiful nature and beautiful animals in Indonesia !
Alright madam
Elephants are such lovely animals. They need all the help they can get these days.
In regards to deforestation (one of many threats to elephants), a wide variety of things can be done to help reduce the rate of it.
One thing that might help would be to keep our wooden furniture for as long as possible. If we replace it with brand new furniture too frequently, the demand for fresh wood will remain. While the demand for wood remains high, loggers will continue chopping trees down in high numbers.
Some of the wooden furniture in my home is over 30+ years old and still in good condition. I have no plans to replace it any time soon. Wooden furniture can last a long time if you take care of it.
Replanting trees and allowing everything else to grow back should be heavily promoted. For one thing, it will help make it more difficult for poachers to access certain areas populated by elephants.
i sometimes reckon "what should i do for all of natures . but i cant reach the solution .
The solution is to end capitalism
All we can do is do our best to slow down the extinction process and enjoy and help these animals while there still here
I want to save nature and these preciouz animals...this is because of us...humans...inculding me.
Save the poor elephants 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why did you have to do this to my headphones
Ouch my right ear.
Too many people.
The mentally and physically challenged should go first, then the leeches who have an IQ below 100
oohhh.. shit.. gunung leuser near my homeland.. why this kind of news never come up to our tv?
why tf is the audio broken
I wish there were captions
there is
Good video
So you all are you to cheat these kids over an animal? Ridiculous. The animals will have to be relocated. If these elephants are so damn valuable to them , why are these people extremely poor? Give me a break people, elephants and orangutans are cute and all, but they dont pay the bills. And I am really sick of all these sanctimonious Americans and all Europeans chiming in on this issue with their hypocrisy. You all get to judge these poor people from your tall ivory towers in your wealthy Western countries, you have no clue what its like to be that poor so do everyone a favor and. STFU. I say relocate the animals and build the dam.
@@magicmoney9653I say you writed that paper and give that to Indonesian government
Please save the elephant 😢
So sad
Don't let this happen.

Save sumatra
Please do a video about srilankan Elephants.
Elephants are dying due to lot of human behaviors
Sometimes people kill them
I have noticed for many years they die atlest 1 elephant per week, so sad to hear
Are there anybody can involve for this
Any organization
Please mention
WWF, Greenpeace, IUCN. You know, the big players
well i'm pretty sure they can relocate those animals to other suitable places. if they plan it properly there would be no big problem. it's not the 19th century. this is 2019
So sad the elephants
i hate human greed
Are Elephants native original to Sumatra Indonesia, I have red that they have been living there for Millions of years before humans settled and thousands of years still living there
Ya hopefully just like every other thing
I can guarantee that our locals and the government won't take any actions..
The earth will rid itself of humans soon anyways
Omar Faruque ew a middle schooler ”XD”
It's sad that they (the government?) only promise to help the villagers for the price of their land. I thought it's government's job to help people in need like the villagers from the start, providing with health and education services, with or without the dam plan. Also, if they move to another site, would there be any job for them and land to plant their crops? This only shows how neglected the people live in certain parts are :(
Basically.
Melur Fatima Haris The govt does provide basic healthcare and education,with jokowi’s upcoming KIP and KIS,however the relocation of agriculture may be a problem
How can I help
You can John wwf indoensia
You can join wwf Indonesia
Save Gajah Sumatera
I LOVE my wife Doina and she LOVE me we do not cheat on each other for all the rest of our life.
We dont care

What's is the difference between Sumatran elephant and typical Indian elephant?
Why should the government allow this?
development ecenomy is mission Jokowi's Government
Yeah. Because our stupid government only care about money. And sadly he got so much (ignorant) supporters. Mr. Jokowi only care about money and don't know about many things. He only think like a merchant. Maximize the money he can get and minimalize the money he spent. And now he won the election again.
Even under his rules, he build coal power plants project. And one of these the coal power plants, is the biggest coal power plant in southeast Asia region. Located in Batang, Central Java.
Indonesia is so corrupted that even the people itself is also corrupted. Not only the government.
@@ahmadansori8566 Can you justify an ecenomy development by the President that you have mentioned before and sacrify a wildlife, especially a national park? Electricity can be from anywhere. May be you haven't read about solar panel and Tesla batteries to store them in night.
@@DBT1007 I agree with you. But, it should be the local government which know more about the location and its effect on economy and environment that should be put on blames. The President only knows this project will be built where, funded by whom, and how to secure the funding. If he knows that this damned project has lower economic and social benefits than the costs, especially environment cost for today and future people of Aceh, he should stop it.
@@MrJazzBond it's democrasy. You have 70% to 90% of voters that have contribution to deforestation. Farmers, supliers, retailers all have common interest. the chance of local government wanting to lose votes is still very low. I mean where the money comes from? I don't see there is high tech factory here yet. Most of it comes from forest funcional shifts.
Only when the last tree has been cut down
the last fish has been caught
the last wild animal has gone extinct
will we realize that we can't eat money
-anonymous
Please stop this , There is still time or it's the start to lose everything , what the government thinks I don't know this is not avatar movie this is earth .
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 please do something
Why does bad news often come from Indonesia?
Money defeat animal right for life
I still don't understand, most of us, people in sumatra are struggle in economic. When we have chance to change our live's. There's come negative statement from all the world. Ever you seen around where you lived? Especially Indonesian people in Java, where is your wealth or infrastructure come from? Where is your endemic animal ?
Do You know how sumatra's resource is taken to java island and leave nothing here? That's a fact.
Or do you think we just want our elephant's got extinc? No. We just want better life,and place to our kids. But it have a cost. And I hopes it don't take the elephant as the cost
Dude. If u prioritize nature, u will get everything. Life quality, economy, fresh air, fresh clean water, cool temperature.
But if u prioritize the economy, u will lose everything. U lost clean air, lost steady stock of clean fresh water, hot temperature, mental of the people will be always angry, etc. Including economy.
Because the rule is "when nature destroyed, it will affect everything"
We get money from exploit the nature. So when nature destroyed, how u get your money?
Bang. Nyari duit itu banyak caranya. Emang dikira hidup di Jakarta caranya cuma jadi pengamen?
Sama halnya dgn warga pedesaan. Bisa aja warga desa bikin ekowisata. Bikin trek2 petualangan
Btw, jgn bawa2 rakyat deh bang. JUSTRU KENYATAANNYA YG MERUSAK ALAM BESAR2AN ITU MALAH PERUSAHAAN2 BESAR DAN PEMERINTAH.
Rakyat malah kyk dibodohi.. pdhl perusahaan2 tsb merusak alam mereka tapi mereka mendapat dampak yg lebih besar drpd gaji mereka yg mereka dapatkan dri hasil bekerja di perusahaan tsb.
Dampaknya misalnya kyk.. udara yg makin ga sehat, cuaca yg makin buruk, suhu yg makin panas, stok air bersih yg makin sulit didapat, kesehatan, dll. Itu klo semuanya diuangkan, apakah abang baru akan sadar bahwa dampaknya begitu mahal?
Abang punya agama ga? Di agama abang bukannya melarang merusak alam?
Oke lah klo eksploitasi alam. Kita harus eksploitasi alam untuk kebutuhan kita sehari hari. Tapi jangan secara besar2an.
Stupid and idiot.. Human resources who makes region more developed. You can see many Sumatran people success in Java the Minangs, Bataknese,etc while Javanese have to go abroad to work as maid. Those rich Sumatrans in Java even won't back to their homeland they prefer Java instead. The savages Sumatrans is not yet open to investment so it wouldn't be attractive while most of Javanese and Sundanese are open to investment that's also proof why many Chinese prefer to live in Java. Just simply look at Medan compared to Surabaya. Medan in Sumatra more chaotic, dirty and full of thugs.
poachers: yes
Raise money to save samatran elephants,
development doesn't have to come at the cost of heritage sites and ecosystem that is an important part of our planet. China has wiped out some of its oldest cities, towns, villages and monuments that were thousands of years old in the name of development (ua-cam.com/video/JWeBQ3kw5RI/v-deo.html) and is going about doing the same in other countries.
Indonesia is letting all beauty disappear unfortunately
Loosing the scrupels
Padahal di taman Nasional loh.. ijinnya bisa keluar astagaa pejabat...

NUNUNUNU
supporting the movement to save our wildlife here in Indonesia. but those critiques blaming only the current administration are plain stupid. way too many actors and the only one in fault is the president? bruh seriously 😒
Had it been a British company we would never hear the complains , right?
Anuradha Aravind -hey:) the Chinese were asked to build it:) nothing to do with colonialism , relax:)
@Anuradha Aravind Lol how do you get data? 75% really? I only know Dutch investing in Unilever or Frisian flag here
With all the millions of tax dollars you waste you still can't hire a proper sound engineer?
Wo bleibt Klima-Greta?????????????
If Doina dies I will not marry another women and if I die she will not marry another man
Chinese destroy everything they touch... They will never honor the promises they made to those villagers. They will end up poorer and more desperate within a year of moving if they move
If i were the Indonesian President i would ban any foreign journalist and activist entering our jungle. Sadly our President is weak and there are many traitors in this country too. Economic is the most important above evrything, Indonesia should protect palm oil and other agri products we should defend it not complaining.
Terrible accent. I can barely understand the narrator and there's no caption?
I have no issue understanding
I had no trouble either. I thought her pronunciation was great.
It's difficult to understand in the intro. But i can understand it clearly after the intro.
Captions would be good though.
Maybe it's because you understand only one version of English.
Chinese new evil this world all think money ur mess...
You guys are always trying to panic people with the extinction word. You all said 11 yrs ago the orangutan would be extinct in 5 yes the elephanta in 10 years and here we are and there are plenty of these animals too many obviously. I say take the economic opportunity
