00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:20,000


��1
00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:58,307
I was reading
The Financial Times,

2
00:00:59,143 --> 00:01:01,811
and it was a little, tiny,
two-paragraph story that said,

3
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:05,523
"Mankind may be causing
a mass-extinction event."

4
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:11,821
It was, like, buried on like
page six or seven.

5
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:12,905
And l thought,

6
00:01:13,115 --> 00:01:15,992
"This is how humanity
is dealing with the issue.

7
00:01:17,828 --> 00:01:19,620
"They're not dealing with it."

8
00:01:25,753 --> 00:01:27,086
Check your cellphone.

9
00:01:27,629 --> 00:01:30,506
If you get anywhere near this
place, he scrambles the signal.

10
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,468
Louie, man ,
how are you?

11
00:01:34,052 --> 00:01:36,387
Just curious, how many cameras
do you have on you right now?

12
00:01:36,472 --> 00:01:37,722
You mean, like,
on my table or--

13
00:01:37,806 --> 00:01:38,848
No, no. On your body.

14
00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:39,974
On my body?

15
00:01:40,726 --> 00:01:42,435
Less than seven,
but probably more than two.

16
00:01:44,688 --> 00:01:47,732
Okay, so,
we're doing an order here.

17
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:50,443
One hat cam,
two buttonhole cameras,

18
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:55,656
sports bra, one bottle cam, 5. 1 1
tac shirt with the vibration .

19
00:01:56,033 --> 00:01:57,283
-Whenever you're ready.
-Oh , yeah .

20
00:01:57,367 --> 00:02:00,745
So you're rolling right now,
so you can get the entrance.

21
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:02,663
And make sure, of course,
the straps are gone.

22
00:02:02,748 --> 00:02:03,915
Okay.

23
00:02:04,583 --> 00:02:06,709
Your reservation's
in ten minutes.

24
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,169
All right.

25
00:02:15,427 --> 00:02:16,969
So, we ate Codfish.

26
00:02:22,684 --> 00:02:25,937
Kobe beef and also
some sweet shrimp.

27
00:02:36,031 --> 00:02:37,240
I was raised on it.

28
00:02:37,366 --> 00:02:38,449
She brought me here.

29
00:02:40,786 --> 00:02:41,994
Yeah .

30
00:02:42,079 --> 00:02:43,746
We try to be
adventurous, yeah.

31
00:02:43,831 --> 00:02:46,916
I started eating it
like ten years ago.

32
00:02:50,671 --> 00:02:53,381
l've been having sashimi
a lot at my grandpa's.

33
00:02:53,465 --> 00:02:54,507
-Oh , yeah .
-We would go out.

34
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:05,309
Thank you .

35
00:03:08,063 --> 00:03:10,356
This is a special
tamari soy sauce from the chef.

36
00:03:11,358 --> 00:03:12,984
l don't know.

37
00:03:13,068 --> 00:03:14,485
Yeah, three pieces. We got it.

38
00:03:14,945 --> 00:03:16,821
It's a bingo.

39
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:21,117
The owners and chef of one of
America's trendiest restaurants. . .

40
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:23,661
. . .are facing federal charges
tonight,

41
00:03:23,745 --> 00:03:26,789
all because of what they
put on customers' plates.

42
00:03:26,874 --> 00:03:28,541
An endangered species.

43
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:30,293
And behind the undercover sting,

44
00:03:30,586 --> 00:03:33,379
some movie makers
who went right back to work.

45
00:03:45,017 --> 00:03:46,309
We're making
our own road here.

46
00:03:47,269 --> 00:03:50,062
Pretty big, the side
of the skull here, yeah.

47
00:03:50,689 --> 00:03:54,066
I did four stories
about extinction for

48
00:03:54,151 --> 00:03:55,234
National Geographic magazine.

49
00:03:58,655 --> 00:04:00,907
You go to these
beautiful landscapes.

50
00:04:03,201 --> 00:04:05,912
There's dinosaurs
from horizon to horizon.

51
00:04:10,834 --> 00:04:13,794
And you think,
"That was so far back then,

52
00:04:15,213 --> 00:04:19,008
"what if it's going on right now
and everybody's missing it?"

53
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:25,556
Each year,
about one in a million species

54
00:04:25,641 --> 00:04:27,433
should expire naturally.

55
00:04:29,353 --> 00:04:30,937
In the next few decades,

56
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:33,439
we'll be driving species
to extinction...

57
00:04:33,523 --> 00:04:36,067
...a thousand times faster
than they should be.

58
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:38,778
It's difficult to estimate

59
00:04:38,862 --> 00:04:41,989
precisely how many species
we're gonna lose.

60
00:04:42,366 --> 00:04:44,116
In a hundred years or so,

61
00:04:44,493 --> 00:04:47,954
we could lose up to 50%
of all the species on Earth.

62
00:04:50,749 --> 00:04:52,041
I remember thinking,

63
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:54,543
"This is the biggest story
in the world."

64
00:04:56,797 --> 00:04:58,631
It's like we're living
in the age of dinosaurs,

65
00:04:59,341 --> 00:05:01,258
but we can do something
about it.

66
00:05:24,783 --> 00:05:27,618
A friend of mine just
reported up in that area.

67
00:05:27,703 --> 00:05:28,995
Roger.

68
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:31,163
The blue whale
is the biggest creature

69
00:05:31,248 --> 00:05:32,873
that ever lived on the planet.

70
00:05:32,958 --> 00:05:34,750
Bigger than any dinosaur ever.

71
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:39,130
Just like dinosaurs,
they're going extinct.

72
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:40,840
It's coming in hot!

73
00:05:40,924 --> 00:05:42,216
There it is!

74
00:05:43,635 --> 00:05:44,844
Look at him.

75
00:05:44,928 --> 00:05:46,262
Back in the days of whaling,

76
00:05:48,515 --> 00:05:50,016
they were hunted
to near-extinction,

77
00:05:50,392 --> 00:05:52,601
down to about two percent
of their population.

78
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:55,896
Now they're getting decimated
by shipping traffic.

79
00:05:56,606 --> 00:05:57,648
Go for it.

80
00:05:58,358 --> 00:05:59,567
He's coming up to the right.

81
00:05:59,651 --> 00:06:00,693
To the right.

82
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:02,903
My hope is that
if you can show people

83
00:06:02,988 --> 00:06:05,197
the beauty of these animals,

84
00:06:06,908 --> 00:06:08,367
there's a chance
to save these things.

85
00:06:26,803 --> 00:06:29,055
One of the cool things
about a blue whale

86
00:06:29,848 --> 00:06:32,725
is that it has the loudest song
in the animal kingdom,

87
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:34,560
but you can't hear it,

88
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:37,772
because it's below
our threshold for hearing.

89
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,779
We look out at the world through
these eyes and these ears,

90
00:06:44,863 --> 00:06:46,280
and you think, "Oh, that's it.

91
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:48,949
"That's everything
that there is to see."

92
00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:55,247
But there's this hidden world
on almost every level.

93
00:06:58,835 --> 00:07:00,711
What I want to do is
get people to see it.

94
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:28,989
We get off the boat,

95
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:32,535
and this fisherman comes up
to our interpreter

96
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:34,829
and says, "Can you give me $500?

97
00:07:34,913 --> 00:07:37,289
"I found this buoy.
There's a $500 reward.

98
00:07:37,374 --> 00:07:39,583
"lt needs to be returned
up to America."

99
00:07:42,212 --> 00:07:43,337
And I said, "Just a minute.

100
00:07:43,421 --> 00:07:44,463
"Let me take a look
at this buoy."

101
00:07:45,882 --> 00:07:47,967
And I look at it, and it says,

102
00:07:48,051 --> 00:07:50,928
"Return to Chris Clark,
Cornell Bioacoustic laboratory."

103
00:07:51,012 --> 00:07:52,138
I said, "I know this guy."

104
00:07:58,937 --> 00:08:01,981
Chris had been pioneering
new ways to record whales

105
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:03,107
for 30 years.

106
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:06,402
He basically proved
that these animals

107
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:08,320
could hear themselves
across oceans.

108
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:12,575
And so, to me,
finding that buoy

109
00:08:12,659 --> 00:08:14,076
was like finding a message
in a bottle.

110
00:08:17,414 --> 00:08:19,790
We built these
recording systems.

111
00:08:20,792 --> 00:08:24,295
We dropped them in the ocean,
and they record continuously.

112
00:08:25,714 --> 00:08:29,675
Whales and dolphins
and anything that's out there...

113
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:31,051
we try and record.

114
00:08:33,597 --> 00:08:35,014
So, the first time,

115
00:08:35,473 --> 00:08:38,976
I knew there was a blue whale
singing nearby.

116
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:43,439
l could see it on the display,
but I couldn't hear it.

117
00:08:45,233 --> 00:08:48,194
So what do you have to do?
You have to speed it up.

118
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:54,158
And still, the hair goes up
on the back of my neck,

119
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:55,618
and it just, like-- It's like,

120
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:58,329
"Damn! That's fabulous."

121
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:07,379
As we listen more and more

122
00:09:07,464 --> 00:09:09,256
around different parts
of the planet,

123
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,429
whether it's frozen Arctic ocean

124
00:09:15,889 --> 00:09:19,808
or the deepest jungles
of Central Africa,

125
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,228
the whole world is singing.

126
00:09:24,481 --> 00:09:27,066
Clicking and grinding
and whistling and thumping.

127
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:30,653
But we've stopped listening.

128
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,746
The Cornell Bioacoustical Laboratory

129
00:09:40,830 --> 00:09:44,208
has the largest repository
of animal sounds on the planet.

130
00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:48,295
They've been collecting them
since the 1 930s.

131
00:09:49,923 --> 00:09:51,548
You can think of it as a museum,

132
00:09:51,633 --> 00:09:53,759
just like there could be
bird skins or, you know,

133
00:09:53,843 --> 00:09:55,135
beetles tacked up on a wall.

134
00:09:57,138 --> 00:09:59,515
So there's this range of sounds

135
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:02,643
from the largest animal
ever to live on this planet

136
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:05,813
to the tiniest, little insects.

137
00:10:10,068 --> 00:10:11,735
This is a song recording

138
00:10:12,487 --> 00:10:15,364
of a male 'o'o singing
on Kaua'i.

139
00:10:18,076 --> 00:10:19,702
These birds mate for life,

140
00:10:20,328 --> 00:10:22,288
so he would be singing
a duet with his mate,

141
00:10:22,372 --> 00:10:25,082
where he sings, and then
she sings back and forth.

142
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:29,378
Here comes the male's song.

143
00:10:30,005 --> 00:10:31,213
There's no response.

144
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:35,050
Here's the male's song again.

145
00:10:37,012 --> 00:10:39,346
That's the last male of a species,

146
00:10:39,889 --> 00:10:41,473
singing for a female

147
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:43,475
who will never come.

148
00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:48,314
He is totally alone.

149
00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:53,027
And now his voice is gone.

150
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:58,907
In the brief lifetime
of this collection,

151
00:10:59,951 --> 00:11:01,076
70 years or so,

152
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:05,748
many of the species that
were recorded are now extinct.

153
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:11,003
So the repository
is a living example

154
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:14,882
of the massive rate
of extinction that's happening.

155
00:11:26,144 --> 00:11:28,771
There's been five major extinctions
in the history of the planet.

156
00:11:30,148 --> 00:11:31,357
There's the Ordovician,

157
00:11:33,151 --> 00:11:34,234
the Devonian,

158
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:37,237
the Permian...

159
00:11:38,990 --> 00:11:40,574
...there was the triassic-jurassic,

160
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:43,452
...and then the K-t extinction,

161
00:11:44,245 --> 00:11:45,996
...the one that killed
the dinosaurs.

162
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:51,210
It's very difficult
to comprehend deep time.

163
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,630
You know, 4.6 billion years
of Earth's history.

164
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:58,217
But if you take, say,
the history of the Earth

165
00:11:58,385 --> 00:12:00,761
and try to squeeze it into
a 24-hour clock,

166
00:12:02,305 --> 00:12:03,639
where does man fit
on that clock?

167
00:12:05,392 --> 00:12:07,976
A few seconds before midnight.
That's it.

168
00:12:09,187 --> 00:12:10,979
We're the new kid on the block.

169
00:12:12,190 --> 00:12:13,524
What we're seeing now...

170
00:12:14,692 --> 00:12:16,068
...is called the anthropocene,
the new epoch.

171
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:20,155
Anthropocene means
the time of humans.

172
00:12:21,825 --> 00:12:25,661
It's when the impact of humans
is leaving itself as a mark

173
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:27,538
in the fossil record
of the future.

174
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:31,917
65 million years ago,

175
00:12:32,419 --> 00:12:34,837
there was an asteroid
that struck

176
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:36,672
and caused the dinosaurs
to go extinct.

177
00:12:38,633 --> 00:12:40,509
When it comes to
the sixth extinction event,

178
00:12:40,969 --> 00:12:45,055
we have no problem
identifying the cause.

179
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:49,101
Humanity has become the asteroid.

180
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:55,524
We're on that tipping point now,

181
00:12:56,025 --> 00:12:57,734
where it's either...

182
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:01,655
too late or just the beginning
of a movement.

183
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:05,576
So, there's two pieces
of whale and one piece of horse.

184
00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:06,994
At the Hump restaurant,

185
00:13:07,662 --> 00:13:09,455
we knew that they were
selling whale meat.

186
00:13:10,915 --> 00:13:12,708
But there's also something
bigger going on.

187
00:13:16,421 --> 00:13:18,922
We heard that
the Obama administration

188
00:13:19,007 --> 00:13:21,550
was in closed-doors negotiations
with the Japanese

189
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:23,135
to go do commercial whaling again.

190
00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:28,056
And I thought,
"Well, if we could prove

191
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:29,808
"that endangered whales
are being served right here,

192
00:13:29,893 --> 00:13:31,602
"on the shores of America,

193
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:33,395
"we would stop
that conversation."

194
00:13:33,688 --> 00:13:35,772
Stop the murder!
Stop the death!

195
00:13:35,857 --> 00:13:38,275
Hump restaurant is to blame!

196
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:40,986
The animal-rights community
took it up,

197
00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:42,613
but the restaurant
didn't close down.

198
00:13:46,075 --> 00:13:48,076
There's this one guy
I'd never heard of before,

199
00:13:48,953 --> 00:13:50,204
his name is Ady Gil.

200
00:13:51,414 --> 00:13:54,166
He took some gear and put it out
in front of the Hump restaurant,

201
00:13:54,459 --> 00:13:55,459
as people are going in.

202
00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:57,294
So, what are you doing?

203
00:13:57,378 --> 00:13:58,462
I'm protesting.

204
00:13:59,005 --> 00:14:02,841
Yesterday, there were like
200 people here, protesting,

205
00:14:02,926 --> 00:14:04,510
and l thought, you know,

206
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,637
somebody needs to keep
the pressure on.

207
00:14:07,055 --> 00:14:09,389
If you look at the Academy
Awards and the Golden Globes,

208
00:14:09,474 --> 00:14:12,017
those are his screens,
and that's all his projections.

209
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:16,271
And, so, he parks this Ferrari
right next to the van,

210
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:18,899
and the owner comes out
and tells Ady, he says,

211
00:14:19,275 --> 00:14:20,734
"How long
are you gonna be doing this?"

212
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:23,403
And he thought that
I was just some hippie, you know,

213
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:24,780
gonna be here for
a day or two.

214
00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:26,156
I said, "Listen, man.

215
00:14:26,241 --> 00:14:28,575
"I can be here for a month or two
or a year or whatever.

216
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:31,787
"How long can you survive
while I am here?"

217
00:14:32,705 --> 00:14:34,581
Ten days later,
the restaurant closes down.

218
00:14:36,584 --> 00:14:38,502
To me,
it was a beautiful moment.

219
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:40,254
Everybody had gone home,

220
00:14:40,588 --> 00:14:42,673
and this one guy with
this big, bright light,

221
00:14:43,007 --> 00:14:45,467
and keeps the light shining
on this subject.

222
00:14:46,761 --> 00:14:49,638
Shut it down!

223
00:14:55,562 --> 00:14:58,605
There are thousands of people
all over the world,

224
00:14:59,816 --> 00:15:03,944
willing and able and changing
their careers to save species.

225
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:11,034
They go to some of
the darkest, grimmest,

226
00:15:11,119 --> 00:15:13,287
most unsafe places
on the planet.

227
00:15:13,454 --> 00:15:15,455
Let's save the shark!
Let's save the shark!

228
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:17,916
Over 800 environmental activists
have been killed

229
00:15:18,167 --> 00:15:19,418
in just the last decade.

230
00:15:20,712 --> 00:15:22,379
So these guys are doing
the tough work,

231
00:15:23,256 --> 00:15:25,173
and we never hear about them.
They're not household names.

232
00:15:27,010 --> 00:15:29,636
Shawn Heinrichs,
I live in Boulder, Colorado.

233
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:31,888
You can't get any more
landlocked than Colorado.

234
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:35,309
And I found out that there's
this incredible ocean activist

235
00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:38,061
living right down the street

236
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:41,398
who quit his job as a CFO
for a tech company

237
00:15:41,858 --> 00:15:43,567
so he could help save
endangered species.

238
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,821
Shawn's doing some of the best,
most groundbreaking work

239
00:15:47,989 --> 00:15:50,407
that I've seen anywhere
in the world.

240
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:56,413
Isla Mujeres was
the largest shark-fishing island

241
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:58,457
on the east coast of Mexico.

242
00:15:59,167 --> 00:16:01,251
At least 20,
if not more, long-liners...

243
00:16:01,336 --> 00:16:03,462
...were targeting sharks
each and every single day.

244
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:05,631
Shawn helped turn
this hunting ground...

245
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:08,216
...into one of the top places
in the world

246
00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:09,718
where you can actually
go and watch sharks.

247
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:13,889
Now you have this
community of ex-shark fishermen

248
00:16:14,307 --> 00:16:16,516
who are making much more money
taking tourists out

249
00:16:16,643 --> 00:16:18,185
to swim with whale sharks

250
00:16:18,269 --> 00:16:19,895
than killing sharks on long-lines.

251
00:16:21,689 --> 00:16:22,814
It's just simple economics.

252
00:16:26,694 --> 00:16:29,237
Shawn often works
with his buddy, Paul Hilton,

253
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:30,781
an investigative photojournalist.

254
00:16:31,366 --> 00:16:34,242
They can't help but to get themselves
into dangerous situations.

255
00:16:34,369 --> 00:16:35,369
Traveler's paradise.

256
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:36,995
Paul's a photojournalist,

257
00:16:37,538 --> 00:16:39,706
like me,
focused on endangered species.

258
00:16:41,125 --> 00:16:42,417
He's brilliant at what he does.

259
00:16:44,796 --> 00:16:49,007
Paul and Shawn try to bust rings
selling endangered species.

260
00:16:49,717 --> 00:16:52,010
We're gonna blow the lid
off this place, right?

261
00:16:52,095 --> 00:16:54,971
Shawn's pretty full-on.
I love his enthusiasm.

262
00:16:55,056 --> 00:16:57,391
He talks far too much
when we're on assignment.

263
00:16:57,475 --> 00:16:58,725
There's always that issue

264
00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:00,477
of me having to go to him
and say, "mate, wind it up."

265
00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:01,728
I think it's
the American in him.

266
00:17:02,063 --> 00:17:03,980
l'm rolling. l can distract.

267
00:17:06,234 --> 00:17:07,818
And a lot of the situations
we go into,

268
00:17:07,902 --> 00:17:09,319
it's always nice
to go in as teams,

269
00:17:09,404 --> 00:17:10,779
because you're going
into situations where

270
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:13,281
you get caught up
in the moment with the camera,

271
00:17:13,449 --> 00:17:14,866
and you'll actually
photograph it, and

272
00:17:15,076 --> 00:17:16,535
there's no one
watching your back.

273
00:17:16,619 --> 00:17:18,078
Ask for the toilet.
Where's the toilet?

274
00:17:18,162 --> 00:17:19,621
Paul and Shawn
have this technique

275
00:17:19,706 --> 00:17:21,707
of... They have a camera
sitting around their neck,

276
00:17:21,791 --> 00:17:23,667
and most people think you
have to put it up to your eye

277
00:17:23,751 --> 00:17:25,377
to look through it and to shoot.

278
00:17:25,461 --> 00:17:27,003
And it's actually a video camera,

279
00:17:27,088 --> 00:17:28,755
and it's rolling the whole time.

280
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:29,923
So many.

281
00:17:31,259 --> 00:17:35,345
And this is the Jaws,
movie Jaws?

282
00:17:36,806 --> 00:17:38,140
Don't push it too much, Shawn.

283
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:39,766
Okay, cool. Very cool.

284
00:17:39,851 --> 00:17:41,935
I don't know about you. That's the
most fins I've ever, ever seen.

285
00:17:42,019 --> 00:17:43,186
How did you find out
about this?

286
00:17:43,271 --> 00:17:44,312
Facebook, basically.

287
00:17:44,564 --> 00:17:45,689
I mean, colleagues, mates...

288
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:48,275
We just walked straight in, basically.

289
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,359
Wow.

290
00:17:50,278 --> 00:17:51,570
How long were you there?

291
00:17:51,654 --> 00:17:52,779
Ten, 1 5 minutes.

292
00:17:52,989 --> 00:17:54,865
You did all this
in ten, 1 5 minutes?

293
00:17:54,949 --> 00:17:55,949
Oh, yeah, mate.

294
00:17:56,868 --> 00:17:58,452
Yeah.

295
00:17:58,703 --> 00:17:59,703
Are we almost there, Paul?

296
00:17:59,787 --> 00:18:01,163
Yeah, so, it's the next block.

297
00:18:02,206 --> 00:18:03,707
I didn't think that
the illegal-wildlife trade

298
00:18:03,791 --> 00:18:05,459
would be so overt.

299
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,672
You can go down streets,

300
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:14,176
and every other shop will be
full of endangered creatures.

301
00:18:14,469 --> 00:18:15,635
Look at this one right here.

302
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:17,679
It's not just shark fins.

303
00:18:18,306 --> 00:18:20,056
It's just about
everything endangered

304
00:18:20,141 --> 00:18:21,850
in the world is for sale there.

305
00:18:25,605 --> 00:18:27,564
With the explosion
of demand in China

306
00:18:27,648 --> 00:18:28,648
for shark-fin soup,

307
00:18:29,358 --> 00:18:31,735
it was estimated
that 250,000 sharks

308
00:18:31,861 --> 00:18:34,821
are caught for the fin trade
every single day.

309
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:38,283
Probably no other species

310
00:18:38,367 --> 00:18:40,327
illustrates what's going on in
the oceans right now

311
00:18:40,411 --> 00:18:41,578
better than sharks.

312
00:18:42,163 --> 00:18:44,539
Sharks predate dinosaurs.

313
00:18:44,874 --> 00:18:47,501
They survived four
mass-extinction events.

314
00:18:49,587 --> 00:18:52,964
And just this one generation
that I've been alive,

315
00:18:53,382 --> 00:18:55,967
we've cut down their ranks
about 90%.

316
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:01,932
I was following
a group of shark finners

317
00:19:02,016 --> 00:19:03,934
in Indonesia, and they were
moving around camp to camp.

318
00:19:06,354 --> 00:19:07,354
And, then, one morning,

319
00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:09,981
I saw something reflecting
off in the coral reef

320
00:19:10,066 --> 00:19:11,191
in the shallow water.

321
00:19:13,277 --> 00:19:14,986
And what I discovered
was just horrific.

322
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:20,784
There's this beautiful
tawny nurse shark,

323
00:19:20,868 --> 00:19:22,244
but it had all its fins cut off.

324
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,997
And it was trying to swim,
but it couldn't swim.

325
00:19:26,082 --> 00:19:28,667
And it was heartbreaking,

326
00:19:28,751 --> 00:19:30,752
'cause it's like... This is
what the reality is.

327
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:32,921
This is the thing that nobody gets.

328
00:19:49,272 --> 00:19:51,523
Now, are we gonna get... Any
luck with us getting in there?

329
00:19:53,526 --> 00:19:54,776
Okay.

330
00:19:54,861 --> 00:19:56,111
Shawn has an interpreter.

331
00:19:58,698 --> 00:19:59,948
I don't want to say her name,

332
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:02,409
but she's been doing
undercover work in China

333
00:20:02,493 --> 00:20:04,119
for several decades.

334
00:20:05,371 --> 00:20:07,497
The first place she took us
was a place

335
00:20:07,582 --> 00:20:09,374
that they couldn't ever
get into before.

336
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:13,628
Basically, the Walmart
of the endangered-species trade

337
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:14,713
in Hong Kong.

338
00:20:18,259 --> 00:20:19,426
Over the years,

339
00:20:19,802 --> 00:20:21,803
I've actually worked really hard
to get into this facility.

340
00:20:22,597 --> 00:20:24,180
So has Paul
and so has his friends.

341
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:27,434
And we've managed to maybe
step in the door for 30 seconds.

342
00:20:27,518 --> 00:20:28,560
Hey!

343
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:29,728
What's wrong?

344
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:35,942
His staff would come out
and push us away,

345
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,986
threaten to call the police.

346
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:40,155
Hands, machete,

347
00:20:40,448 --> 00:20:42,240
kicked out the door,
"don't ever come back."

348
00:20:46,203 --> 00:20:47,370
Here's what we'll do.

349
00:20:47,455 --> 00:20:49,080
We have a car waiting
with all the stuff in it.

350
00:20:49,832 --> 00:20:52,042
I brought along a couple of
colleagues from the Hump bust.

351
00:20:52,835 --> 00:20:54,711
Heather Rally, who does
undercover work for us.

352
00:20:55,504 --> 00:20:56,504
And Charles Hambleton,

353
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:59,215
who's sort of my director
of covert operations.

354
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:01,259
In the alley here,
on the right-hand side?

355
00:21:01,344 --> 00:21:02,928
We invented a cover.

356
00:21:03,346 --> 00:21:05,388
We pretended like we were
on a culinary tour

357
00:21:05,556 --> 00:21:07,849
and we were looking for
exotic product.

358
00:21:07,975 --> 00:21:09,017
I think we stick to plan.

359
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:11,269
We're going as culinary tourist
interests of Mr. Sawyer,

360
00:21:11,354 --> 00:21:13,730
and we're all here, learning
and taking pictures of culinary.

361
00:21:13,814 --> 00:21:15,482
You can get into
about as much trouble

362
00:21:15,566 --> 00:21:16,816
as you can possibly get into

363
00:21:16,901 --> 00:21:18,860
with a buttonhole camera
in China.

364
00:21:18,945 --> 00:21:20,028
If for some reason,

365
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:21,655
we run into people
with badges and uniforms,

366
00:21:21,739 --> 00:21:23,782
strip off all the shit.

367
00:21:23,866 --> 00:21:25,825
Just rip it out from under your
shirt and throw it over a wall.

368
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:27,994
Go right in.
Go in, go in, go in.

369
00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:29,329
Hi.

370
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:52,644
We're starting a business
where we want to sell seafood.

371
00:21:53,187 --> 00:21:54,980
We have a seafood shop.

372
00:21:55,189 --> 00:21:57,190
Well, back where we do it,

373
00:21:57,274 --> 00:22:00,944
it's mainly tuna and marlin
and swordfish.

374
00:22:01,028 --> 00:22:03,029
They want to see something
more exciting.

375
00:22:03,406 --> 00:22:06,491
'Cause the Chinese traveler
and the Asian traveler

376
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:08,743
has become big business now.
It's more than 50%.

377
00:22:10,329 --> 00:22:11,788
We should go.
We should probably go.

378
00:22:11,872 --> 00:22:12,914
No, no, no.

379
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:22,465
-This is nice.
-Yeah.

380
00:22:26,137 --> 00:22:27,637
I need to go to
the bathroom bad.

381
00:22:27,722 --> 00:22:28,888
There's the bathroom.

382
00:22:28,973 --> 00:22:30,724
Oh, thank you, thank you.

383
00:23:08,679 --> 00:23:09,763
Yeah.

384
00:23:12,099 --> 00:23:13,475
Are these expensive, also?

385
00:23:19,523 --> 00:23:21,983
$44,800 US Dollar per kilo.

386
00:23:24,153 --> 00:23:25,695
No way.

387
00:23:35,581 --> 00:23:37,248
We ended up going down the road

388
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:39,084
to another warehouse
on the Hong Kong waterfront.

389
00:23:39,168 --> 00:23:40,960
Louie, look at this.

390
00:23:41,045 --> 00:23:44,756
It must have been
1 0,000-20,000 fins in one location.

391
00:23:45,758 --> 00:23:47,967
This was one of the biggest
facilities on the planet.

392
00:23:48,135 --> 00:23:49,219
Look at that.
It looks like a blue.

393
00:23:49,303 --> 00:23:52,180
The scale of it was
just out of control.

394
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:53,932
l've never seen anything like
that before in my life.

395
00:23:55,017 --> 00:23:56,184
Jesus!

396
00:24:04,068 --> 00:24:08,321
I feel like this world
is absolutely insane.

397
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:42,313
I remember once diving

398
00:24:42,398 --> 00:24:43,982
the northernmost islands
of the Galapagos,

399
00:24:44,608 --> 00:24:47,318
Darwin lsland and Wolf Island.
You know, islands that

400
00:24:47,403 --> 00:24:49,320
Darwin actually never had
been to before.

401
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:54,742
It's the land before time.

402
00:24:54,827 --> 00:24:57,871
I mean, it's like land
before humans got there.

403
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:07,213
And I remember
this giant whale shark came by,

404
00:25:07,298 --> 00:25:09,174
and then a pod of dolphins came by.

405
00:25:09,967 --> 00:25:11,467
You know, this is back
when you shot film.

406
00:25:13,971 --> 00:25:16,514
And the whole frame was just
filled with wildlife.

407
00:25:18,851 --> 00:25:21,936
And this dolphin came
swimming from behind

408
00:25:22,146 --> 00:25:24,772
the front of the whale shark,
and it grabbed this tuna,

409
00:25:24,899 --> 00:25:27,650
and it brought it and looked
right at me and shook it,

410
00:25:27,943 --> 00:25:30,820
and it swallowed it, tail first
down its throat.

411
00:25:30,905 --> 00:25:32,322
And I thought, "You know,

412
00:25:32,656 --> 00:25:36,367
"this is when you want 37 pictures
on a 36 roll of film."

413
00:25:39,455 --> 00:25:41,581
It's just magical, absolutely magical.

414
00:25:48,714 --> 00:25:50,548
As underwater photographers,

415
00:25:52,051 --> 00:25:53,343
photojournalists really,

416
00:25:54,386 --> 00:25:58,389
we're documenting a time and a place

417
00:25:59,808 --> 00:26:02,727
that in the future
may not be there.

418
00:26:04,647 --> 00:26:06,189
And the clock is moving.

419
00:26:07,858 --> 00:26:09,275
The first photographs I shot...

420
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:12,403
...the assignment for
National Geographic, 1960,

421
00:26:12,655 --> 00:26:13,863
I took a total of.. .

422
00:26:14,323 --> 00:26:17,784
...seven or eight frames on
two and a quarter square film,

423
00:26:18,202 --> 00:26:21,162
on ektachrome film,
and butted them together.

424
00:26:22,122 --> 00:26:25,792
It was the first underwater, color
panoramicever done on the reefs.

425
00:26:27,878 --> 00:26:30,046
And this was when I came back
in 1 989.

426
00:26:30,756 --> 00:26:33,174
The beautiful Barrier Reef
forest went to hell.

427
00:26:39,306 --> 00:26:41,224
Now I'm looking around
and saying, "Well,

428
00:26:41,850 --> 00:26:42,892
"what happened here?

429
00:26:45,062 --> 00:26:48,523
"It's not so far off from what
happened 65 million years ago."

430
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:52,235
Extinction is often being driven by...

431
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:53,444
...direct human activity,

432
00:26:53,529 --> 00:26:56,990
things like habitat destruction
or overfishing.

433
00:26:58,742 --> 00:27:00,576
And then there's
global climate change,

434
00:27:00,703 --> 00:27:02,078
which is happening
in a different way.

435
00:27:04,248 --> 00:27:05,915
So we have these
sort of dual things,

436
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,667
like the direct hand of man,

437
00:27:08,836 --> 00:27:11,045
and the indirect hand of man
in the change of climate.

438
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:15,675
Climate is controlled
by the oceans.

439
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:17,844
The oceans are the big guy.
They're in control.

440
00:27:20,097 --> 00:27:22,640
And the oceans now
are slowly changing.

441
00:27:24,435 --> 00:27:26,853
And that is the danger
we face today.

442
00:27:27,438 --> 00:27:31,024
A mass extinction is driven
by a change of the environment...

443
00:27:31,317 --> 00:27:34,402
...and we are changing
the environment precisely

444
00:27:34,528 --> 00:27:37,363
along the lines
that can trigger off

445
00:27:37,489 --> 00:27:38,781
one of these great catastrophes.

446
00:27:42,161 --> 00:27:44,120
There's been
five mass extinctions,

447
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:46,122
and they've had
different causes,

448
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:50,293
but there's been
one common factor in all.. .

449
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:55,590


a massive increase
in carbon dioxide.

450
00:27:57,343 --> 00:27:59,552
And we've never had
a carbon-dioxide spike

451
00:27:59,636 --> 00:28:00,928
like what's happening now.

452
00:28:03,349 --> 00:28:06,684
We are burning through
the fossil fuels laid down

453
00:28:06,769 --> 00:28:08,728
over hundreds of millions
of years.

454
00:28:09,313 --> 00:28:12,565
Really reversing
geological history, basically.

455
00:28:12,649 --> 00:28:14,317
And we're doing it
really, really fast.

456
00:28:20,324 --> 00:28:22,283
In the Gulf oil spill,

457
00:28:22,618 --> 00:28:25,620
about 4.9 million barrels of oil
were spilled.

458
00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:29,207
That represents about a quarter...

459
00:28:29,291 --> 00:28:31,501
...of what we use every single day
in the U.S.

460
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,129
You look at an event

461
00:28:35,297 --> 00:28:36,589
like the Gulf oil spill,
and you think,

462
00:28:36,715 --> 00:28:38,841
"This is the biggest
environmental catastrophe

463
00:28:38,967 --> 00:28:40,218
"in America ever."

464
00:28:40,719 --> 00:28:44,389
But that spill is nothing
compared to the damage

465
00:28:44,473 --> 00:28:46,599
caused by us doing
everyday things

466
00:28:46,683 --> 00:28:48,059
we don't even think about.

467
00:28:50,104 --> 00:28:52,063
And I'm more guilty than anyone.

468
00:28:53,399 --> 00:28:55,066
The worst thing you can do
to the environment

469
00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:56,192
is make a film about it.

470
00:28:56,276 --> 00:28:57,360
This looks really cool.

471
00:28:57,528 --> 00:28:58,820
We did a carbon assessment

472
00:28:58,904 --> 00:29:00,029
of the first two years
of production.

473
00:29:01,156 --> 00:29:07,537
And I was horrified at how much
energy it takes to do what I do.

474
00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:09,539
Sweet. We're gonna
turn this one on.

475
00:29:10,124 --> 00:29:11,833
We're at the point where
we're making our lives

476
00:29:12,167 --> 00:29:14,127
a lot better for us,

477
00:29:15,462 --> 00:29:17,296
but we're doing it
at the expense of

478
00:29:17,381 --> 00:29:18,381
of everything going forward.

479
00:29:22,803 --> 00:29:24,720
We have many, many ways
to fix this problem.

480
00:29:26,014 --> 00:29:28,724
The question is,
are we gonna do it fast enough?

481
00:29:32,062 --> 00:29:33,229
What we know at the moment

482
00:29:33,313 --> 00:29:35,273
is we're driving this
out of control...

483
00:29:35,399 --> 00:29:38,484
...and the ocean's chemistry
is changing really rapidly.

484
00:29:38,569 --> 00:29:39,735
Scarily fast.

485
00:29:41,572 --> 00:29:44,031
When we put carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere,

486
00:29:44,408 --> 00:29:45,658
it doesn't all stay there.

487
00:29:46,994 --> 00:29:50,121
Between a third and a half
gets absorbed by the oceans.

488
00:29:51,957 --> 00:29:53,958
The CO2 reacts with water

489
00:29:54,168 --> 00:29:55,877
to form something
called carbonic acid,

490
00:29:57,129 --> 00:29:59,213
and each year, the ocean
becomes more and more acidic.

491
00:30:00,924 --> 00:30:03,134
If you want to know
what that does,

492
00:30:03,719 --> 00:30:06,262
get a seashell and drop it in,

493
00:30:06,513 --> 00:30:08,264
...you know, a glass of vinegar.

494
00:30:12,978 --> 00:30:17,607
A whole variety of creatures
will simply

495
00:30:17,691 --> 00:30:21,486
dissolve into the acid ocean
that we have created.

496
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:28,659
There's massive death
in the oceans.

497
00:30:30,287 --> 00:30:31,829
It's already started.

498
00:30:32,456 --> 00:30:34,582
Well, it's not only started,
it's well underway.

499
00:30:36,460 --> 00:30:37,752
Those are larvae?

500
00:30:37,836 --> 00:30:39,629
Yeah.
See the little...

501
00:30:39,713 --> 00:30:41,130
The brown smudge?

502
00:30:41,215 --> 00:30:42,381
Yeah, yeah.

503
00:30:43,383 --> 00:30:46,594
Each year, we harvest
seven to ten billion oyster larvae...

504
00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:50,056
...that we send out to growers
throughout the Pacific northwest.

505
00:30:51,266 --> 00:30:54,477
I still remember the day
all of the larvae essentially

506
00:30:54,561 --> 00:30:56,646
in our entire hatchery
were on the bottom of the tanks.

507
00:30:57,439 --> 00:31:00,316
So around six billion larvae all died
in a single day.

508
00:31:04,947 --> 00:31:06,572
That deep-ocean water

509
00:31:06,657 --> 00:31:09,158
off the coast of Washington
and Oregon

510
00:31:09,451 --> 00:31:11,619
comes into
the hatchery intakes,

511
00:31:12,704 --> 00:31:14,580
...and they can't grow
their shell.

512
00:31:14,665 --> 00:31:16,249
lt's dissolving faster
than they can grow it.

513
00:31:19,002 --> 00:31:21,504
It seemed outlandish to think
that the ocean

514
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,549
could be acidified enough to
cause these kinds of problems.

515
00:31:24,633 --> 00:31:26,801
It just seemed like something
from the distant future

516
00:31:26,885 --> 00:31:29,136
and nothing we ever had
to pay attention to.

517
00:31:31,807 --> 00:31:33,975
The rate of change
that we're seeing in the ocean

518
00:31:34,101 --> 00:31:37,436
and the change that it's gonna
create in our food chain...

519
00:31:37,938 --> 00:31:41,023
it's gonna be dramatic, and it's
gonna be in our lifetimes.

520
00:31:42,651 --> 00:31:44,026
The things
that we're used to eating

521
00:31:44,194 --> 00:31:46,028
may not be available anymore,

522
00:31:46,113 --> 00:31:47,780
and we may need to transition
to, you know,

523
00:31:47,864 --> 00:31:49,740
eating jellyfish
or something like that.

524
00:31:50,492 --> 00:31:51,784
Start a new trend.

525
00:31:58,500 --> 00:31:59,917
It sounds a bit silly,

526
00:32:00,002 --> 00:32:03,296
"Change your diet
and save the planet"

527
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:07,925
But if humans could
become vegetarians now,

528
00:32:08,010 --> 00:32:09,719
you would make
a massive difference.

529
00:32:10,846 --> 00:32:12,430
By far and away,

530
00:32:12,514 --> 00:32:16,309
the biggest factor in terms
of this mass extinction

531
00:32:16,602 --> 00:32:19,937
is destroying natural habitat
or converting natural habitat

532
00:32:20,022 --> 00:32:21,355
into land for food.

533
00:32:23,233 --> 00:32:25,735
The more dependent we are
on meat, milk, and eggs,

534
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,988
the greater the CO2
and methane emissions.

535
00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:34,910
Cattle and Brahmanas of all kind

536
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:41,417
produce methane as a byproduct
of breaking down grass

537
00:32:41,627 --> 00:32:43,878
and other things that they feed on.

538
00:32:48,425 --> 00:32:49,884
So, the contractions

539
00:32:49,968 --> 00:32:52,511
are pushing this gas
out from the stomach,

540
00:32:53,764 --> 00:32:55,640
going through here and the
one-way valve and into that?

541
00:32:55,724 --> 00:32:57,516
Yes. And after this,
we collect inside the bag.

542
00:32:57,976 --> 00:32:59,769
So, how long has that bag
been collecting gas?

543
00:32:59,853 --> 00:33:01,145
Only two hours.

544
00:33:02,189 --> 00:33:05,816
Methane is something
like 22 times more potent

545
00:33:06,943 --> 00:33:09,487
as a climate-changing gas
than is CO2,

546
00:33:09,571 --> 00:33:11,947
so it doesn't take very much
methane to make a difference.

547
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:17,203
A cow can basically
fill up a 55-gallon garbage bag

548
00:33:17,287 --> 00:33:19,288
full of methane every day.

549
00:33:21,416 --> 00:33:24,627
One cow's not a problem, but now
we have 1 .5 billion of them.

550
00:33:26,046 --> 00:33:28,381
And it's an incredibly
inefficient way of producing food.

551
00:33:31,927 --> 00:33:35,179
Three-quarters of agricultural land
is used just to feed livestock.

552
00:33:36,014 --> 00:33:37,390
When you factor in everything,

553
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:40,601
the clearing of the land
for grazing, feeding,

554
00:33:40,686 --> 00:33:43,979
and transporting, livestock
causes more greenhouse gases

555
00:33:44,398 --> 00:33:47,692
than all the direct emissions
from the entire transportation sector.

556
00:33:49,611 --> 00:33:51,862
I don't think it's
a competition between these problems.

557
00:33:51,947 --> 00:33:53,781
l don't think one could
be put above the other.

558
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:55,366
lt's like saying,
"well, is global warming

559
00:33:55,450 --> 00:33:58,119
worse than ocean acidification?"

560
00:33:58,453 --> 00:34:02,164
Or, "Is fishing all the big fish in
the sea worse than polluting it?"

561
00:34:02,791 --> 00:34:04,875
I think it'd be foolish
to try and single out

562
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,086
any one of them to say
this is how we're gonna

563
00:34:07,170 --> 00:34:08,546
fix the planet's problems.

564
00:34:08,672 --> 00:34:10,506
We need to fight them
on all fronts.

565
00:34:22,728 --> 00:34:24,228
Look at all the rodents.

566
00:34:26,481 --> 00:34:28,149
They're like house cats.

567
00:34:30,610 --> 00:34:33,821
Look at this one.
lt's still alive.

568
00:34:36,158 --> 00:34:37,616
A lot of doors closing.

569
00:34:37,701 --> 00:34:38,743
Lights going off.

570
00:34:40,245 --> 00:34:41,537
That's scary, man.

571
00:34:41,621 --> 00:34:43,372
Yeah, we're definitely
not welcome here.

572
00:34:43,457 --> 00:34:46,500
In 2003, the government clamped
down on the wildlife markets

573
00:34:46,585 --> 00:34:49,879
across southern China, so things
started to go underground,

574
00:34:49,963 --> 00:34:52,047
so operating
in early hours of the morning.

575
00:34:52,966 --> 00:34:54,133
And it's horrific.

576
00:34:55,135 --> 00:34:56,260
They're shutting down.

577
00:34:56,762 --> 00:34:58,387
-What?
-They're shutting down.

578
00:34:58,472 --> 00:34:59,597
That's crazy.

579
00:34:59,681 --> 00:35:01,140
They're hiding them now.

580
00:35:02,392 --> 00:35:04,435
Oh, my gosh!

581
00:35:06,438 --> 00:35:10,024
This is a market that had to
switch places twice that year.

582
00:35:10,192 --> 00:35:11,567
Oh. What are they doing?

583
00:35:11,985 --> 00:35:13,569
I mean, they know they're
not supposed to be doing

584
00:35:13,653 --> 00:35:14,779
what they're doing.

585
00:35:16,782 --> 00:35:17,990
That's hardcore.

586
00:35:23,538 --> 00:35:26,165
The more endangered it is,
the more illegal it is,

587
00:35:26,249 --> 00:35:27,833
the more we have to go
to the back rooms.

588
00:35:31,046 --> 00:35:32,046
Go straight up.

589
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:34,882
So, Louie,

590
00:35:34,966 --> 00:35:36,884
l want to show you
something right here.

591
00:35:38,637 --> 00:35:41,263
You're looking at
a dozen manta rays

592
00:35:41,348 --> 00:35:43,349
sitting right in
these bags right here.

593
00:35:44,059 --> 00:35:46,310
When you consider that each
of these animals

594
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,979
has one pup every couple years,

595
00:35:49,231 --> 00:35:52,817
you're looking at literally
an entire generation wiped out,

596
00:35:52,901 --> 00:35:53,943
just in these bags.

597
00:35:57,364 --> 00:35:59,406
A few years ago, I started
noticing species of

598
00:35:59,491 --> 00:36:02,868
manta and mobula ray
lined up in the streets

599
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:05,079
in areas that used to be
predominantly shark ports.

600
00:36:06,456 --> 00:36:08,499
And it was really confusing
to me, because I understood

601
00:36:08,583 --> 00:36:10,292
that you can't use their wings
for shark-fin soup,

602
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:12,920
and the meat from these rays
is very pungent.

603
00:36:13,922 --> 00:36:15,714
It's not worth the time
of bringing in

604
00:36:15,799 --> 00:36:17,424
these huge, heavy animals.

605
00:36:19,803 --> 00:36:21,095
I couldn't believe
when I walked in.

606
00:36:21,263 --> 00:36:23,973
There's just giant, oceanic
mantas all lined up in a row.

607
00:36:26,226 --> 00:36:28,644
And just wanted to know
what was going on,

608
00:36:28,728 --> 00:36:30,938
and then l started watching them
cutting out the gills.

609
00:36:31,481 --> 00:36:33,607
The gills are missing.
Where did they put them?

610
00:36:33,692 --> 00:36:35,067
Where did they take the gills?

611
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,278
And it came down to this.

612
00:36:37,571 --> 00:36:41,782
It was an old cultural remedy
in a very small, coastal town

613
00:36:41,867 --> 00:36:43,784
in southern China,
and that was over 50 years ago.

614
00:36:44,411 --> 00:36:46,954
And that had
largely disappeared,

615
00:36:47,122 --> 00:36:49,540
but I think it was just
following the Sars outbreak,

616
00:36:49,958 --> 00:36:51,250
somebody got it
in their mind that

617
00:36:51,334 --> 00:36:52,543
"Hey, we're running out
of sharks.

618
00:36:53,169 --> 00:36:55,170
"What other products
can we move into the pipeline?"

619
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:11,896
The gills of manta rays ended up

620
00:37:11,980 --> 00:37:14,315
in all the traditional
Chinese medicine stores

621
00:37:14,399 --> 00:37:15,858
and the dried-seafood stores.

622
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:46,889
I remember my first encounter
with a manta in the water.

623
00:37:46,973 --> 00:37:48,140
It's something
I'll never forget.

624
00:37:50,226 --> 00:37:52,770
I'm sitting in the water,
and then just out of the blue,

625
00:37:52,854 --> 00:37:56,106
this manta ray does
this huge flyby, right past,

626
00:37:57,567 --> 00:37:59,318
and then goes back
into the blue.

627
00:38:00,862 --> 00:38:03,238
And then I'm just left
breathless, waiting.

628
00:38:10,914 --> 00:38:12,831
Just recently, we were in Bali.

629
00:38:14,334 --> 00:38:16,377
At the end of the last dive,
everyone's out of the water.

630
00:38:18,088 --> 00:38:19,254
And I look down,

631
00:38:19,339 --> 00:38:20,881
and this one manta comes
right underneath me

632
00:38:21,883 --> 00:38:23,300
and then just stops,
and it hovers,

633
00:38:23,385 --> 00:38:25,511
and it's about 1 5 feet down,
and it just-- It's not moving.

634
00:38:25,595 --> 00:38:27,096
And I'm like, "That's interesting."

635
00:38:30,475 --> 00:38:34,395
I look, and there's fishing line
tailing off the top of its body.

636
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:38,983
And the first thing I did
is I swam down.

637
00:38:39,067 --> 00:38:40,484
I snipped the line off
the top of its head,

638
00:38:40,568 --> 00:38:41,986
right just above the hook.

639
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:50,869
And swam up.

640
00:38:54,708 --> 00:38:55,958
She didn't swim away.

641
00:38:56,167 --> 00:38:57,793
She was just hovering
right underneath me.

642
00:39:05,135 --> 00:39:06,844
So I swim back down to her
one more time,

643
00:39:06,928 --> 00:39:08,846
and I put my hand gently
right on the front of her head,

644
00:39:09,264 --> 00:39:11,265
and I put my hand on the hook,

645
00:39:11,725 --> 00:39:16,270
and I slowly worked that hook
right out of its top jaw.

646
00:39:21,484 --> 00:39:22,901
And I thought, "That's it.

647
00:39:22,986 --> 00:39:24,820
"You know, she's gonna
swim off now. She's been saved."

648
00:39:25,822 --> 00:39:27,740
I look down, and she's
circling right under my feet.

649
00:39:29,909 --> 00:39:32,202
So I swim back down to her
one more time,

650
00:39:32,287 --> 00:39:34,872
and I put my hand right next
to where the injury was,

651
00:39:34,956 --> 00:39:36,498
as if sort of rubbing it
and saying, "Hey, listen.

652
00:39:36,583 --> 00:39:37,875
"You're gonna be okay."

653
00:39:41,796 --> 00:39:44,089
And I put my head
right next to her eye,

654
00:39:44,174 --> 00:39:46,091
and I just remember her eye
moving back and forth

655
00:39:46,176 --> 00:39:48,385
between my mask,
looking at both my eyes...

656
00:39:51,306 --> 00:39:53,932
and realized that she knew
I was trying to help her.

657
00:40:03,985 --> 00:40:06,153
Often, people say, "How can
one person make a difference?"

658
00:40:07,947 --> 00:40:11,283
What if you could see
how shark-fin soup is made?

659
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:15,412
If you could see how each year,

660
00:40:15,497 --> 00:40:18,916
up to 70 million sharks
are killed to end up in soup,

661
00:40:19,542 --> 00:40:20,542
could you still eat it?

662
00:40:21,544 --> 00:40:23,212
I shared the footage of
a live, finned shark

663
00:40:23,296 --> 00:40:25,380
in Indonesia with WildAid,

664
00:40:25,465 --> 00:40:27,257
an organizer that has been
working on shark conservation

665
00:40:27,342 --> 00:40:28,383
in China.

666
00:40:29,552 --> 00:40:31,220
The film went to
over a billion people in Asia.

667
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:34,139
80% who were surveyed who saw it

668
00:40:34,224 --> 00:40:36,266
said they were either gonna
quit eating shark-fin soup

669
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:38,477
or drastically reduce
their consumption of it.

670
00:40:39,604 --> 00:40:42,731
Remember, when the buying stops,
the killing can, too.

671
00:40:48,488 --> 00:40:49,738
As a still photographer,

672
00:40:50,115 --> 00:40:52,032
I can see the power of an image.

673
00:40:53,243 --> 00:40:54,284
It was transformative.

674
00:40:58,623 --> 00:41:01,792
But I think it's in our DNA to
take care of future generations,

675
00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:07,673
and if you can find that way in,

676
00:41:09,092 --> 00:41:12,845
you can reach people
really quickly and change them.

677
00:41:14,973 --> 00:41:17,141
The human eye
is so limited.

678
00:41:17,392 --> 00:41:19,434
We see only a tiny,
little sliver

679
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,353
of the electromagnetic spectrum.

680
00:41:21,521 --> 00:41:23,355
It's like if you owned
a grand piano in your house,

681
00:41:23,439 --> 00:41:25,732
but you could only hear
one note on it.

682
00:41:27,861 --> 00:41:31,321
Normally, carbon dioxide gas
is invisible to the human eye,

683
00:41:31,698 --> 00:41:34,408
but certain wavelengths
of infrared will be absorbed

684
00:41:34,492 --> 00:41:36,994
by gases like CO2 or methane.

685
00:41:37,328 --> 00:41:38,620
So that's what's
going on here.

686
00:41:38,705 --> 00:41:41,165
This camera has a very
particular color filter on it,

687
00:41:41,749 --> 00:41:44,418
enabling us to visualize
the CO2 gas

688
00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:46,211
that's coming out of
our noses and mouths.

689
00:41:49,257 --> 00:41:50,340
We had two cameras.

690
00:41:51,259 --> 00:41:53,260
One camera that sees
what your eye sees,

691
00:41:54,262 --> 00:41:56,388
and the other,
what the fossil-fuel companies

692
00:41:56,472 --> 00:41:58,390
don't want the rest
of the world to see.

693
00:41:59,475 --> 00:42:01,185
The carbon dioxide world.

694
00:42:01,269 --> 00:42:03,145
Let's do
this one coming at us.

695
00:42:04,939 --> 00:42:07,357
Three, two, one.

696
00:42:14,324 --> 00:42:16,533
I mean, it's disgusting,
but it's beautiful.

697
00:42:17,994 --> 00:42:19,453
So, let's
just go up left here.

698
00:42:19,537 --> 00:42:20,954
-On the left here?
-Real slow here.

699
00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:22,623
Where these guys are gonna be,
a slow creep.

700
00:42:22,707 --> 00:42:23,749
Slowly, slowly,
slow down.

701
00:42:23,833 --> 00:42:25,459
Slowly, slowly, slowly,
slowly, slowly, slowly.

702
00:42:25,543 --> 00:42:26,585
Wow.

703
00:42:38,514 --> 00:42:41,433
Just about everything
that we do emits carbon dioxide,

704
00:42:42,227 --> 00:42:45,145
from the way we heat
and air-condition our houses,

705
00:42:45,730 --> 00:42:48,649
the way we do
our transportation systems,

706
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:50,484
whether it's planes,
trains, or automobiles.

707
00:42:54,447 --> 00:42:57,658
Just about everything pumps out
vast amounts of carbon dioxide.

708
00:42:59,661 --> 00:43:01,286
But you can't see it.

709
00:43:03,873 --> 00:43:05,749
To be able to see
this hidden world was like

710
00:43:05,833 --> 00:43:07,709
you were let in on
this magic trick,

711
00:43:09,587 --> 00:43:11,713
but the magic trick that was
actually killing the planet.

712
00:43:13,758 --> 00:43:17,010
This looks like a big parade
of crap, doesn't it?

713
00:43:17,095 --> 00:43:18,178
Just filth.

714
00:43:23,977 --> 00:43:25,018
Yep.

715
00:43:27,188 --> 00:43:28,647
So, what are you
working on, buddy?

716
00:43:28,731 --> 00:43:29,982
Come on in.
l will show you.

717
00:43:30,066 --> 00:43:31,441
Is this your
flux capacitor?

718
00:43:31,526 --> 00:43:32,567
It's close.

719
00:43:32,652 --> 00:43:33,652
Oh, right here,
actually.

720
00:43:33,736 --> 00:43:34,903
I can spin this.
You see this?

721
00:43:34,988 --> 00:43:35,988
It shoots carbon dioxide.

722
00:43:36,072 --> 00:43:38,115
I mean, what, the government
hiring you? Whose doing it?

723
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:39,533
You just doing
your own thing or what?

724
00:43:39,617 --> 00:43:41,493
-lt's like a science project.
-Yeah. Just a science project.

725
00:43:41,577 --> 00:43:42,577
Science project?

726
00:43:49,544 --> 00:43:50,627
In many ways,

727
00:43:50,712 --> 00:43:54,631
our generation is the one with
the last hand on the throttle

728
00:43:54,716 --> 00:43:56,466
that just pushes
that throttle down.

729
00:43:58,511 --> 00:44:00,554
We're putting
so much carbon dioxide

730
00:44:01,389 --> 00:44:03,765
and so much methane
into the atmosphere,

731
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,518
it's quite possible,
if you think about it...

732
00:44:06,936 --> 00:44:09,187
...that the baby boom
generation itself,

733
00:44:09,856 --> 00:44:12,190
is the single most
impactful generation

734
00:44:12,317 --> 00:44:14,234
of mammals this planet
has ever seen.

735
00:44:18,990 --> 00:44:21,491
In the anthropocene,
we're changing every parameter.

736
00:44:21,784 --> 00:44:23,869
We're changing the geology
of the planet.

737
00:44:23,953 --> 00:44:26,246
We're changing the chemistry
of the ocean.

738
00:44:27,206 --> 00:44:28,874
The anthropocene means that

739
00:44:29,709 --> 00:44:32,210
what happens to this planet
is now in our own hands.

740
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:41,636
When you take any drop
off the ocean anywhere

741
00:44:42,805 --> 00:44:44,431
and you look under a microscope,

742
00:44:45,224 --> 00:44:48,685
there's so much beauty there
on this tiny scale,

743
00:44:48,770 --> 00:44:51,146
this miniature architecture

744
00:44:51,481 --> 00:44:53,357
that I never tire of looking at.

745
00:44:53,441 --> 00:44:56,234
Our first speaker is Boris Worm,

746
00:44:56,569 --> 00:44:58,612
and he's published
a number of important

747
00:44:58,696 --> 00:45:00,947
and controversial papers
in recent years

748
00:45:01,032 --> 00:45:02,741
on the decline of phytoplankton.

749
00:45:03,951 --> 00:45:06,119
When I give a talk on
plankton, I say, first of all,

750
00:45:06,204 --> 00:45:08,246
let's take a breath,
and let's take a second breath,

751
00:45:08,373 --> 00:45:09,664
and then contemplate the fact

752
00:45:09,749 --> 00:45:11,583
that that second breath
came from the ocean,

753
00:45:11,834 --> 00:45:14,544
because it was produced
ultimately by phytoplankton,

754
00:45:14,629 --> 00:45:16,880
which produce half of the oxygen
we breathe.

755
00:45:18,633 --> 00:45:22,427
We're aware that we are changing
the ocean at a global scale.

756
00:45:22,512 --> 00:45:24,096
There's multiple human impacts,

757
00:45:24,180 --> 00:45:27,140
ranging from fishing to climate
change and acidification,

758
00:45:27,892 --> 00:45:31,311
implying that no part of the
ocean is free from human impact.

759
00:45:32,939 --> 00:45:34,648
Using satellite
imagery and other data...

760
00:45:36,150 --> 00:45:38,026
...Dr. Worm determined
that we have may have lost

761
00:45:38,111 --> 00:45:41,196
40% of plankton production
in just the last 50 years.

762
00:45:42,198 --> 00:45:45,826
It's happening primarily as
a consequence of climate change,

763
00:45:46,536 --> 00:45:48,912
and there is
a lot of controversy,

764
00:45:48,996 --> 00:45:50,122
because it's a big question.

765
00:45:50,331 --> 00:45:53,208
And if this plankton decline
pans out to be as dramatic

766
00:45:53,292 --> 00:45:56,420
as we think it is,
then that would be a big deal.

767
00:45:59,382 --> 00:46:02,092
Your life depends on
the oceans breathing.

768
00:46:03,928 --> 00:46:07,139
And, in fact, animals could
only exist on land

769
00:46:07,807 --> 00:46:11,852
after plankton in the oceans
had produced enough oxygen

770
00:46:11,936 --> 00:46:13,437
for them to live by.

771
00:46:21,404 --> 00:46:23,071
We have this illusion
that it's the big things

772
00:46:23,156 --> 00:46:24,573
in the environment that count.

773
00:46:25,867 --> 00:46:27,701
But if you lose
the small things...

774
00:46:29,954 --> 00:46:31,204
Everything else fails.

775
00:46:59,317 --> 00:47:01,401
It's like there's
this incredible web

776
00:47:01,486 --> 00:47:02,819
where we're all connected,

777
00:47:05,072 --> 00:47:06,740
and if you take out
one little thing,

778
00:47:06,824 --> 00:47:07,991
let's say like plankton,

779
00:47:09,535 --> 00:47:12,245
everything, the whole web collapses.

780
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,292
It's like having a symphony.

781
00:47:19,879 --> 00:47:21,755
And one by one,
you just pluck

782
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:24,049
each of the instruments

783
00:47:25,968 --> 00:47:27,260
out of the orchestra.

784
00:47:32,350 --> 00:47:34,309
Till your last voice is there.

785
00:47:39,482 --> 00:47:42,442
And then, it's gone.

786
00:47:47,532 --> 00:47:49,908
It's out of order when globally,

787
00:47:50,368 --> 00:47:52,994
most of the world's fighting
to protect these species,

788
00:47:53,371 --> 00:47:56,623
and he's taking 600,
possibly even more, every year.

789
00:47:57,416 --> 00:47:58,917
That's the processing plant.

790
00:47:59,377 --> 00:48:01,419
Paul found this guy,
Mr. Lee,

791
00:48:01,837 --> 00:48:04,673
one of the biggest smugglers of
endangered sharks in the world.

792
00:48:05,007 --> 00:48:07,634
They had three protected species
of sharks- basking sharks,

793
00:48:07,718 --> 00:48:10,053
great whites, and whale sharks.

794
00:48:10,179 --> 00:48:12,305
Well, like I said, if I had
a possible business opportunity

795
00:48:12,390 --> 00:48:15,475
to buy omega-3 oils
from him.

796
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:16,893
What do I need to know
about fish oil?

797
00:48:17,103 --> 00:48:19,646
Say, "Look,
we need 1 00% confirmation

798
00:48:19,730 --> 00:48:22,691
"that it's a good product," and,
then, yeah, ask for samples.

799
00:48:22,775 --> 00:48:25,318
I'm just gonna play it, like,
a little bit angry, defensive,

800
00:48:25,403 --> 00:48:27,195
and you're gonna try
to pacify me.

801
00:48:28,072 --> 00:48:29,656
Where am I operating
out of in the U .S.?

802
00:48:29,865 --> 00:48:31,116
l'm gonna say Brooklyn.

803
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:32,325
Wherever. That's your call, mate.

804
00:48:34,370 --> 00:48:36,204
Shark oil is being used
for omega-3,

805
00:48:37,623 --> 00:48:40,083
but these sharks he's trading
are endangered

806
00:48:40,167 --> 00:48:42,085
and protected in China
and internationally.

807
00:48:44,422 --> 00:48:45,755
The only law
that we really had

808
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,799
to protect endangered species
is CITES.

809
00:48:49,385 --> 00:48:50,427
CITES is the convention

810
00:48:50,511 --> 00:48:52,095
for international trade
of endangered species.

811
00:48:53,931 --> 00:48:55,890
And there's only
a few hundred animals

812
00:48:55,975 --> 00:48:57,017
that are actually on that list.

813
00:48:58,311 --> 00:49:00,270
And part of the reason
is because

814
00:49:01,063 --> 00:49:02,981
the people that control CITES

815
00:49:03,566 --> 00:49:06,067
are actually in
the trade of selling them.

816
00:49:06,986 --> 00:49:08,486
Ahead of this CITES conference,

817
00:49:08,571 --> 00:49:10,447
a new decision-making mechanism

818
00:49:10,865 --> 00:49:12,407
to set up a centralized system...

819
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:15,035
for the resumption
of the international trade

820
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:16,453
in elephant ivory.

821
00:49:39,602 --> 00:49:40,810
The economy's been down.

822
00:49:40,978 --> 00:49:42,687
lt's taking a while to
get people interested.

823
00:49:43,105 --> 00:49:45,690
Obviously, Mr. Sawyer's
very interested.

824
00:49:53,658 --> 00:49:56,826
Can we take
a very small sample back of...

825
00:49:57,620 --> 00:50:00,455
Just to let you know, last time,
he did give me some, and...

826
00:50:00,539 --> 00:50:01,539
I need to test it though.

827
00:50:01,666 --> 00:50:02,999
We need to have
my people test it.

828
00:50:04,335 --> 00:50:05,919
I don't know who your lab is.

829
00:50:06,003 --> 00:50:08,463
I'm sorry, l'm sorry.
This will be my lab.

830
00:50:11,050 --> 00:50:12,592
Can l just borrow Louie
for one second?

831
00:50:13,344 --> 00:50:15,553
You have to talk.
Just one second, Louie.

832
00:50:15,638 --> 00:50:18,390
Just they want... They
want to know about...

833
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,415
I just want to make sure
that five years from now,

834
00:50:43,499 --> 00:50:44,999
we don't have problems
with people saying,

835
00:50:45,084 --> 00:50:47,210
"Oh, we fished out
all the whale sharks."

836
00:51:11,944 --> 00:51:13,236
-Yeah.
-Okay.

837
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:20,076
1 00%. 1 00% whale shark.

838
00:51:20,202 --> 00:51:21,244
Yeah.

839
00:51:21,746 --> 00:51:23,747
We walked up
the steps and looked into

840
00:51:23,831 --> 00:51:25,206
the processing ground.

841
00:51:27,460 --> 00:51:31,087
And there was whale sharks
chopped in bits all over the floor,

842
00:51:31,505 --> 00:51:33,631
so we just walked in
and started photographing.

843
00:51:37,470 --> 00:51:41,765
Then, we sent out a press
release to the world's media.

844
00:51:45,728 --> 00:51:47,771
It went viral. We
had National Geographic,

845
00:51:47,855 --> 00:51:49,856
Time magazine, the BBC.

846
00:51:50,316 --> 00:51:51,524
It just went everywhere.

847
00:51:53,903 --> 00:51:56,404
The Chinese government
are doing a lot, at the moment,

848
00:51:56,489 --> 00:51:57,989
for endangered species.

849
00:51:58,324 --> 00:51:59,449
They're burning ivory.

850
00:51:59,825 --> 00:52:02,744
They've banned shark-fin soup
at government banquets.

851
00:52:04,497 --> 00:52:06,289
And things are really moving
in the right direction.

852
00:52:10,127 --> 00:52:11,252
Bye-bye.

853
00:52:11,337 --> 00:52:12,629
-Bye. Thank you.
-Bye-bye.

854
00:52:12,713 --> 00:52:15,131
So I just hope
they can be proactive with Mr. Lee.

855
00:52:17,259 --> 00:52:18,843
We are down about it,

856
00:52:18,928 --> 00:52:21,471
but maybe there is light
at the end of the tunnel.

857
00:52:21,722 --> 00:52:22,722
Yeah.

858
00:52:35,736 --> 00:52:38,488
It's really easy
for us to look east and say,

859
00:52:38,572 --> 00:52:39,656
"You know,
look what China's doing.

860
00:52:40,074 --> 00:52:42,325
"They're destroying the planet.
They're polluting everything.

861
00:52:42,409 --> 00:52:43,910
"They're wiping out species."

862
00:52:45,246 --> 00:52:47,997
But the west is already doing
an incredible job

863
00:52:48,582 --> 00:52:52,043
of massively depleting
and damaging the environment

864
00:52:52,127 --> 00:52:54,504
and taking out
a lot of threatened species.

865
00:52:57,299 --> 00:52:59,425
What's happening in China now
is they're going through

866
00:52:59,510 --> 00:53:01,928
the same growing pains
that we did.

867
00:53:03,138 --> 00:53:04,597
But when we went through
our growing pains,

868
00:53:04,682 --> 00:53:06,349
there was only a billion people
on the planet.

869
00:53:07,852 --> 00:53:09,477
With China going through
its growing pains,

870
00:53:09,895 --> 00:53:12,480
there's over 1 .3 billion people
in China alone.

871
00:53:15,442 --> 00:53:18,194
We've already pushed
so many vulnerable species

872
00:53:18,279 --> 00:53:19,529
and the environment
to the brink.

873
00:53:21,740 --> 00:53:26,202
We can't afford to keep
making the same mistakes,

874
00:53:28,289 --> 00:53:29,706
because there will be nothing left.

875
00:53:36,755 --> 00:53:39,674
Some of the world's rarest amphibians
are inside that trailer.

876
00:53:43,053 --> 00:53:45,013
I've heard up to half
of all frog species

877
00:53:45,097 --> 00:53:47,390
could be gone
in the next 20 years.

878
00:53:47,474 --> 00:53:48,516
Yeah.

879
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,853
There are 7,000 species
of amphibian,

880
00:53:52,980 --> 00:53:54,522
and they're all endangered.

881
00:53:56,650 --> 00:53:58,651
PhotoArk's my 20-year attempt
to photograph

882
00:53:58,736 --> 00:54:00,361
every captive species
on Earth.

883
00:54:01,906 --> 00:54:05,158
One guy's desperate attempt
to get people to care. That's it.

884
00:54:07,578 --> 00:54:08,620
There he is.

885
00:54:08,704 --> 00:54:11,331
The very last
rabbs' fringe-limbed tree frog.

886
00:54:11,415 --> 00:54:12,498
Very last one.

887
00:54:13,042 --> 00:54:15,710
Chytrid fungus wiped them all out
in Panama, so he's the last one.

888
00:54:15,794 --> 00:54:16,878
That's it.

889
00:54:16,962 --> 00:54:18,004
When he's gone,
they'll be extinct.

890
00:54:19,590 --> 00:54:21,841
Can we lift his chin up a little
bit for me, please?

891
00:54:21,926 --> 00:54:22,967
Perfect.

892
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,178
This is his big moment.

893
00:54:29,183 --> 00:54:30,850
A lot of times,
these pictures I do

894
00:54:30,935 --> 00:54:33,561
are the only national coverage
these animals will ever get

895
00:54:33,646 --> 00:54:34,646
before they go extinct.

896
00:54:34,730 --> 00:54:36,230
This is it.
This is their one chance.

897
00:54:37,691 --> 00:54:40,318
I really hope the PhotoArk
isn't just some sort of

898
00:54:40,402 --> 00:54:43,947
an archive of the things
we lost, but instead,

899
00:54:44,031 --> 00:54:45,823
it's a chance to get
people interested,

900
00:54:46,116 --> 00:54:49,202
look these animals in the eye,
and fall in love with them.

901
00:54:52,414 --> 00:54:55,833
There's only 330,
340 species of turtles,

902
00:54:55,918 --> 00:54:58,127
and half of them are under threat.

903
00:55:03,133 --> 00:55:06,552
If the temperature rises on
the planet just a few degrees,

904
00:55:07,346 --> 00:55:09,722
they're very susceptible
to extinction.

905
00:55:12,309 --> 00:55:14,727
So, this is really
the last line of defense,

906
00:55:14,979 --> 00:55:18,064
keeping animals
that are extinct in the wild

907
00:55:18,148 --> 00:55:19,816
in a captive situation.

908
00:55:21,610 --> 00:55:24,487
l think you could compare
something like this,

909
00:55:24,571 --> 00:55:27,949
or nature in general,
to the finest works of art...

910
00:55:28,033 --> 00:55:30,076
...on the planet,
and in my opinion more than,

911
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,996
you know, the best Picasso,
Matisse, Warhol.

912
00:55:39,003 --> 00:55:40,420
Life wants to flourish.

913
00:55:41,338 --> 00:55:42,922
DNA wants to go forward.

914
00:55:43,507 --> 00:55:44,966
We need to be part of that.

915
00:55:47,594 --> 00:55:50,096
Why would we
want to do anything to disrupt

916
00:55:50,180 --> 00:55:53,182
something that took
billions of years to evolve?

917
00:56:04,445 --> 00:56:06,612
See how the trees
are all falling into the lake?

918
00:56:06,697 --> 00:56:08,906
And they're doing that
because the permafrost

919
00:56:08,991 --> 00:56:11,075
in the ground is melting.

920
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,162
In the Arctic,

921
00:56:14,246 --> 00:56:15,955
in these cold regions
around the planet,

922
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,332
underneath the lakes,
underneath the oceans,

923
00:56:18,667 --> 00:56:22,462
there's vast, vast quantities
of frozen methane

924
00:56:23,213 --> 00:56:24,964
that's been in there
for millions of years.

925
00:56:27,176 --> 00:56:30,428
This lake has a lot of
methane bubbling out of it.

926
00:56:30,512 --> 00:56:33,056
ln fact, we can light
those methane bubbles on fire.

927
00:56:34,516 --> 00:56:36,392
School kids know
about the extinction event

928
00:56:36,477 --> 00:56:37,685
that killed
all the big dinosaurs,

929
00:56:38,228 --> 00:56:41,230
but paleontologists, you know,
the connoisseurs of this,

930
00:56:41,315 --> 00:56:43,483
they look back at
the Permian extinction.

931
00:56:44,818 --> 00:56:47,236
That's the biggest extinction
in the history of the planet.

932
00:56:47,321 --> 00:56:48,988
Almost all life
on the planet disappeared.

933
00:56:51,992 --> 00:56:53,326
It's called "The Great Dying."

934
00:56:57,039 --> 00:56:59,123
You know,
the K-T is pretty obvious.

935
00:56:59,208 --> 00:57:01,626
That was caused by a meteor,
but what the hell killed

936
00:57:01,710 --> 00:57:04,504
all the animals on land and sea
back at the Permian?

937
00:57:09,927 --> 00:57:11,427
And now they're coming around
to thinking,

938
00:57:11,804 --> 00:57:12,970
"It was probably methane."

939
00:57:15,808 --> 00:57:17,892
So, the Arctic's
getting gradually warmer,

940
00:57:18,268 --> 00:57:19,811
and the methane
that's been locked away

941
00:57:20,562 --> 00:57:23,689
for millions of years,
is starting to come out.

942
00:57:27,236 --> 00:57:28,694
When all this gets going,

943
00:57:28,779 --> 00:57:31,739
we will have, what we call,
a runaway effect.

944
00:57:33,867 --> 00:57:37,036
That's runaway climate change,
and that's unstoppable.

945
00:57:41,166 --> 00:57:42,291
Are you all right?

946
00:57:42,376 --> 00:57:44,544
The only way to tackle
the methane problem,

947
00:57:45,379 --> 00:57:47,964
is to reduce CO2 emissions,

948
00:57:48,048 --> 00:57:50,133
because that's what's
warming the Arctic,

949
00:57:50,217 --> 00:57:52,051
letting this methane bubble up.

950
00:57:55,556 --> 00:57:58,057
You know, the great irony is,
like, the oil companies,

951
00:57:58,142 --> 00:58:00,309
they see the melting of the ice
as an opportunity

952
00:58:00,394 --> 00:58:01,769
to go up there
and drill more holes for oil.

953
00:58:02,062 --> 00:58:04,021
And what we don't realize,
it's underneath that,

954
00:58:04,106 --> 00:58:05,940
that's what people
have to worry about.

955
00:58:07,067 --> 00:58:08,943
We do know from
the fossil record

956
00:58:09,027 --> 00:58:12,572
that even pre-human climate
changes could happen fast.

957
00:58:13,073 --> 00:58:14,615
l'm not talking
millions of years.

958
00:58:14,700 --> 00:58:17,451
I'm talking three years
or four years.

959
00:58:17,703 --> 00:58:18,911
Way less than a mortgage,

960
00:58:19,413 --> 00:58:21,247
Less time than it takes for
your kid to go through college.

961
00:58:23,083 --> 00:58:24,250
And what if
the world's temperature

962
00:58:24,334 --> 00:58:26,085
goes up six degrees
in three years?

963
00:58:28,088 --> 00:58:31,090
It will lead to
massive death in the oceans.

964
00:58:32,259 --> 00:58:34,552
When the oceans start dying
like that,

965
00:58:35,220 --> 00:58:37,680
the planet can't function
as it used to function.

966
00:58:39,141 --> 00:58:42,268
And when that happens,
life everywhere fails.

967
00:58:45,272 --> 00:58:46,522
That is a mass extinction.

968
00:59:31,485 --> 00:59:33,694
There's this
remote island in Indonesia.

969
00:59:35,364 --> 00:59:36,364
It's right at the tip,

970
00:59:36,448 --> 00:59:38,783
where the sea comes sort of
crashing into this channel,

971
00:59:40,244 --> 00:59:43,412
and through this quarter
are whales and dolphins

972
00:59:43,497 --> 00:59:44,497
and all kinds of animals.

973
00:59:49,002 --> 00:59:51,420
And at the tip of this island
is this village called Lamakera.

974
00:59:54,216 --> 00:59:58,928
There's no place on Earth that
we know of where more manta rays

975
00:59:59,012 --> 01:00:01,013
are being killed than
in that single village.

976
01:00:06,728 --> 01:00:09,230
We realized if we were gonna
deal with the manta issue,

977
01:00:09,856 --> 01:00:11,190
we had to go to ground zero.

978
01:00:14,152 --> 01:00:15,528
These are manta rays.

979
01:00:16,238 --> 01:00:18,739
They make, like,
sets of 20 or 40,

980
01:00:18,824 --> 01:00:20,950
and they're about $20 a set,

981
01:00:21,034 --> 01:00:22,785
and you get a couple of sets
off a manta, maximum.

982
01:00:23,829 --> 01:00:25,997
And then you get about
$500 to $600 from the gills.

983
01:00:27,666 --> 01:00:29,458
Those are gills.
You can see the end of it.

984
01:00:30,627 --> 01:00:34,046
All the cartilage
will be sent to China

985
01:00:34,131 --> 01:00:39,802
to be crushed down into pills
for glucosamine sulfate

986
01:00:39,886 --> 01:00:41,137
for the sore joints
and stuff.

987
01:00:44,474 --> 01:00:47,059
We sat down to meet with the
Kepala Desa, who's the chief.

988
01:01:23,388 --> 01:01:25,431
Initially, they weren't
very welcoming.

989
01:01:25,515 --> 01:01:26,515
They didn't want us to stay.

990
01:01:28,185 --> 01:01:31,187
But ultimately, we managed
to talk our way onto

991
01:01:31,271 --> 01:01:32,438
one of the fishing vessels.

992
01:01:40,572 --> 01:01:42,406
Ask them how they caught it.

993
01:01:51,166 --> 01:01:52,375
See it?

994
01:01:55,379 --> 01:01:57,046
A couple of hours into
the fishing trip,

995
01:01:57,130 --> 01:02:01,592
they saw this black figure
on the surface just cruising.

996
01:02:17,692 --> 01:02:18,943
Paul, left.

997
01:02:20,445 --> 01:02:22,488
Blood starts to color the water.

998
01:02:29,663 --> 01:02:30,913
Over the course of an hour,

999
01:02:31,039 --> 01:02:32,331
this thing struggles
for its life.

1000
01:02:35,585 --> 01:02:36,585
It's big.

1001
01:03:06,116 --> 01:03:07,450
And I'm looking at this,
and I'm going,

1002
01:03:07,534 --> 01:03:09,076
"God, I can't do this."

1003
01:03:11,788 --> 01:03:13,998
He just sticks in the brain
of this animal,

1004
01:03:14,082 --> 01:03:15,833
and it just freaks out.

1005
01:03:21,214 --> 01:03:23,883
And I actually watched its soul
just disappear in front of me,

1006
01:03:25,302 --> 01:03:26,302
and then it went limp.

1007
01:03:36,688 --> 01:03:37,688
Paul, hurry.

1008
01:03:38,899 --> 01:03:40,858
No, no. Don't panic,
don't panic.

1009
01:03:46,364 --> 01:03:47,740
As we're going towards
the village,

1010
01:03:47,824 --> 01:03:49,909
an armada of boats
start streaming past us.

1011
01:03:55,123 --> 01:03:58,083
And they're all triangulating
on this group of manta rays

1012
01:03:58,168 --> 01:03:59,210
that have come into
their waters.

1013
01:04:12,641 --> 01:04:14,808
And the first thing they do
is start hacking into the gills.

1014
01:04:20,649 --> 01:04:24,527
With the advent of traders
providing diesel-powered engines

1015
01:04:24,611 --> 01:04:26,904
and a supply chain
all the way out to China,

1016
01:04:29,115 --> 01:04:32,868
they transitioned very quickly
to a full-on commercial outfit.

1017
01:04:37,374 --> 01:04:38,999
And it's only a few years
before the manta rays

1018
01:04:39,292 --> 01:04:40,334
will be wiped out.

1019
01:04:45,882 --> 01:04:47,675
They realize
the numbers are dropping.

1020
01:04:50,345 --> 01:04:54,306
Even if we weren't here, they
realize something has to change.

1021
01:04:59,104 --> 01:05:00,896
What are their children
going to be doing?

1022
01:05:03,817 --> 01:05:04,900
They're gonna have nothing left.

1023
01:05:14,077 --> 01:05:15,619
It's just losing
a bit of magic, you know?

1024
01:05:15,912 --> 01:05:20,124
The world, without that species,
to me, it's empty, you know?

1025
01:05:40,270 --> 01:05:42,396
In 200 years,

1026
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,692
people will look back
on this particular period

1027
01:05:47,569 --> 01:05:49,737
and say to themselves,

1028
01:05:50,155 --> 01:05:54,116
"How did those people
at that time just allow...

1029
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,619
"...all these amazing creatures
to vanish?"

1030
01:06:03,627 --> 01:06:06,462
But it would be very little use
in me or anybody else

1031
01:06:06,921 --> 01:06:10,507
exerting all this energy
to save the wild places,

1032
01:06:10,634 --> 01:06:13,552
if people are not being educated

1033
01:06:13,637 --> 01:06:16,305
into being better stewards
than we've been.

1034
01:06:26,483 --> 01:06:29,193
If we all lose hope,
there is no hope.

1035
01:06:29,277 --> 01:06:31,779
Without hope,
people fall into apathy.

1036
01:06:35,033 --> 01:06:37,826
There's still a lot left
that's worth fighting for.

1037
01:06:43,792 --> 01:06:44,958
About two decades ago,

1038
01:06:46,503 --> 01:06:49,004
the Baiji dolphin
was extremely vulnerable.

1039
01:06:49,547 --> 01:06:50,756
There was hundreds of them left.

1040
01:06:52,384 --> 01:06:54,802
l mean, I thought, "Well,
there's enough out there.

1041
01:06:54,886 --> 01:06:56,720
"Somebody's gonna do something
to save this animal."

1042
01:06:56,805 --> 01:06:59,348
This animal, it wasn't just
the last of its species,

1043
01:06:59,432 --> 01:07:01,850
it was the last of
an entire family of cetaceans.

1044
01:07:02,060 --> 01:07:04,728
So l thought,
"Humans, somebody, somewhere,

1045
01:07:04,813 --> 01:07:06,188
"has got to go out
and save these animals.

1046
01:07:06,272 --> 01:07:07,564
"They have to,
because they're dying off."

1047
01:07:08,566 --> 01:07:10,693
They're all gone now.
They went extinct.

1048
01:07:11,069 --> 01:07:14,029
ln my lifetime
they went extinct. So...

1049
01:07:21,162 --> 01:07:23,163
We always think that
there's gonna be somebody else

1050
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:25,791
around to save these animals.

1051
01:07:38,471 --> 01:07:40,973
This field is
one of the last places on Earth

1052
01:07:41,057 --> 01:07:43,058
where you can see
a Florida grasshopper sparrow.

1053
01:07:44,811 --> 01:07:47,104
And there's fewer males
singing every year.

1054
01:07:48,148 --> 01:07:51,525
We're roughly around
20 sparrows a year.

1055
01:07:51,609 --> 01:07:53,193
From 1 50 to 20,

1056
01:07:54,404 --> 01:07:57,197
so it's getting harder every
year to find the bird.

1057
01:07:58,199 --> 01:07:59,241
Did you hear something?

1058
01:07:59,659 --> 01:08:00,784
That's a grasshopper sparrow.

1059
01:08:03,246 --> 01:08:06,540
Phase-out is a term you hear
sometimes by zoo-keepers.

1060
01:08:07,417 --> 01:08:10,419
When a species is
no longer viable in captivity,

1061
01:08:11,379 --> 01:08:12,880
they think about phasing it out.

1062
01:08:14,966 --> 01:08:17,050
Just kind of slip off
into extinction.

1063
01:08:17,677 --> 01:08:18,802
There he is.

1064
01:08:18,887 --> 01:08:20,095
There, you got him, you got him.

1065
01:08:23,641 --> 01:08:24,683
Right there.

1066
01:08:25,518 --> 01:08:27,436
You'll never
phase out an elephant

1067
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,605
or a panda or a rhino.

1068
01:08:31,357 --> 01:08:33,734
But, you know,
if it's a small, brown bird,

1069
01:08:34,903 --> 01:08:37,279
how are you ever gonna get
people excited about that?

1070
01:08:41,868 --> 01:08:45,996
My pictures of the sparrow ended
up on the cover ofAudubon.

1071
01:08:47,540 --> 01:08:50,417
And when the U.S. Fish
& Wildlife Service saw that,

1072
01:08:50,710 --> 01:08:53,337
they went from allocating
$30,000 a year

1073
01:08:53,421 --> 01:08:55,255
towards the grasshopper sparrow...

1074
01:08:55,423 --> 01:08:56,673
Looking good.

1075
01:08:56,758 --> 01:09:02,721
...to about $1 .3 million
this year to try to study it

1076
01:09:03,056 --> 01:09:04,932
and turn things around
for this bird.

1077
01:09:10,438 --> 01:09:11,605
There he goes.

1078
01:09:17,904 --> 01:09:20,364
To me, photography
isn't just about showing

1079
01:09:20,448 --> 01:09:21,740
somebody how beautiful
something is.

1080
01:09:25,662 --> 01:09:26,829
It's a weapon.

1081
01:09:31,376 --> 01:09:33,961
Remember what Ady Gil was able
to do with that little projector

1082
01:09:34,045 --> 01:09:37,256
in front of the Hump?
What he was able to achieve.

1083
01:09:39,717 --> 01:09:43,178
I thought, "Well,
how can we scale this up?"

1084
01:09:48,476 --> 01:09:51,520
When we dream,
we don't dream inside of a box.

1085
01:09:52,230 --> 01:09:53,522
We dream inside of worlds.

1086
01:09:54,941 --> 01:09:56,608
Early photographs were circular.

1087
01:09:57,235 --> 01:09:58,902
Even early TVs were circular.

1088
01:09:59,946 --> 01:10:01,613
But to make more
out of the medium,

1089
01:10:01,823 --> 01:10:04,491
there was a decision made
to crop it into a box.

1090
01:10:06,119 --> 01:10:09,079
And the box has a lot to do with
the way we think.

1091
01:10:11,457 --> 01:10:14,585
My way has always been
blowing up the medium

1092
01:10:14,669 --> 01:10:16,336
into a million pieces...

1093
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,089
...and letting it become
something else.

1094
01:10:28,057 --> 01:10:31,935
Travis has done projections on
iconic buildings all over the world.

1095
01:10:32,562 --> 01:10:34,897
My fantasy would be
to take the work

1096
01:10:34,981 --> 01:10:37,107
of my photographer friends
at National Geographic

1097
01:10:37,191 --> 01:10:40,569
and amplify their message
by orders of magnitude.

1098
01:10:42,739 --> 01:10:45,115
If we would have just
had, like, a whale going by...

1099
01:10:45,241 --> 01:10:46,992
...and then it jumps off
into some other building.

1100
01:10:47,076 --> 01:10:48,160
It'd be beautiful.

1101
01:10:48,578 --> 01:10:51,705
I still love the idea
of sharks on Wall Street.

1102
01:10:52,832 --> 01:10:53,832
What do you think?

1103
01:10:54,042 --> 01:10:56,043
Yeah. No problem.

1104
01:10:57,295 --> 01:10:59,755
80% of the greenhouse gases
that are caused by cities

1105
01:10:59,839 --> 01:11:01,548
are caused
by commercial buildings.

1106
01:11:03,009 --> 01:11:05,177
Tony Malkin, the guy that owns
the Empire State Building,

1107
01:11:05,303 --> 01:11:07,179
probably the most iconic
building in the world,

1108
01:11:07,513 --> 01:11:08,555
and he's greened it.

1109
01:11:09,474 --> 01:11:11,808
Everyone had written off
the Empire State Building

1110
01:11:11,893 --> 01:11:13,435
as outmoded and obsolete.

1111
01:11:13,728 --> 01:11:16,647
We retrofitted
6,500 windows,

1112
01:11:16,898 --> 01:11:18,857
replaced all the lights
with LEDs,

1113
01:11:19,359 --> 01:11:21,318
redid the heating
and cooling systems.

1114
01:11:21,986 --> 01:11:25,906
From that, we actually
saved $4.4 million a year.

1115
01:11:27,283 --> 01:11:28,825
The best way to
move the needle,

1116
01:11:28,910 --> 01:11:30,869
when people are talking
about the environment,

1117
01:11:31,454 --> 01:11:32,746
is the bottom line.

1118
01:11:35,583 --> 01:11:37,209
l like to project
into the woods.

1119
01:11:38,252 --> 01:11:39,711
Try to see
the whole building?

1120
01:11:39,796 --> 01:11:41,004
Yeah, we'd see
the whole building.

1121
01:11:41,089 --> 01:11:42,464
And we could also, like,

1122
01:11:42,548 --> 01:11:44,967
the mobile idea,
where we can mount projectors

1123
01:11:45,051 --> 01:11:47,302
onto trucks
and just drive with them.

1124
01:11:47,387 --> 01:11:48,679
That would be cool.

1125
01:11:49,055 --> 01:11:51,056
Travis had
drawn up an illustration

1126
01:11:51,140 --> 01:11:52,307
of a mobile
projection vehicle.

1127
01:11:52,976 --> 01:11:54,017
Just looking at the plans,

1128
01:11:54,102 --> 01:11:56,144
it opened up a whole new world
of possibility.

1129
01:12:01,025 --> 01:12:03,068
It can't just be
the environmental activists

1130
01:12:03,152 --> 01:12:05,946
that care about
getting off of fossil fuels.

1131
01:12:07,699 --> 01:12:09,241
Everybody has to become
a part of it.

1132
01:12:10,535 --> 01:12:12,285
I heard that
there's this race car driver

1133
01:12:12,370 --> 01:12:14,538
that was an environmentalist
in a sport

1134
01:12:14,622 --> 01:12:16,999
that traditionally doesn't care
about the environment.

1135
01:12:17,375 --> 01:12:19,876
So, like,
a living contradiction.

1136
01:12:20,878 --> 01:12:22,796
When I go to
the sports-marketing companies

1137
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:24,256
and l say,
"Can you help me find sponsors?"

1138
01:12:24,340 --> 01:12:27,509
And then l give them the list
of people I won't work with--

1139
01:12:27,844 --> 01:12:30,762
No fossil fuels, no oil,
no coal, no meat,

1140
01:12:30,847 --> 01:12:33,849
no people who tested on animals,
no fur, no leather.

1141
01:12:33,933 --> 01:12:35,726
They just look at me like...

1142
01:12:36,644 --> 01:12:38,520
"I don't know how you
want us to help you."

1143
01:12:39,313 --> 01:12:41,982
Leilani MUnter
has just passed five cars

1144
01:12:42,066 --> 01:12:45,318
in the last lap and a half,
and she is real impressive...

1145
01:12:45,528 --> 01:12:47,529
Sometimes,
I have an environmentalist say,

1146
01:12:47,655 --> 01:12:49,531
"Well, if you were really
an environmentalist, you know,

1147
01:12:49,615 --> 01:12:50,615
"you'd be racing a bike."

1148
01:12:50,783 --> 01:12:52,784
And the problem with that
is then I wouldn't have

1149
01:12:52,869 --> 01:12:55,370
75 million people paying
attention to my sport.

1150
01:12:58,458 --> 01:12:59,499
Thank you.

1151
01:13:06,132 --> 01:13:07,716
You look at a guy
like Elon Musk.

1152
01:13:08,301 --> 01:13:11,011
He builds reusable rocket ships
to supply the space station.

1153
01:13:11,929 --> 01:13:14,181
He's the biggest installer
of solar in America,

1154
01:13:14,807 --> 01:13:18,393
and he built the best-rated car
ever made, and it's electric.

1155
01:13:19,854 --> 01:13:21,980
Leilani knew Elon Musk.

1156
01:13:22,065 --> 01:13:26,651
l think we are currently doing
something very, very dumb,

1157
01:13:26,736 --> 01:13:30,739
which is to run this experiment
on how much CO2

1158
01:13:31,115 --> 01:13:32,449
the oceans and atmosphere
can hold.

1159
01:13:32,950 --> 01:13:35,160
In order to have a future
that does not result

1160
01:13:35,244 --> 01:13:37,287
in an environmental catastrophe,

1161
01:13:37,371 --> 01:13:39,039
followed by economic collapse,

1162
01:13:39,415 --> 01:13:42,375
which is what would occur
if we didn't get off oil.

1163
01:13:42,460 --> 01:13:44,336
That's why we have to have
electric cars.

1164
01:13:44,754 --> 01:13:47,089
I think we want to put in
an order for a car today.

1165
01:13:47,173 --> 01:13:48,465
Excellent. Well, take one.

1166
01:13:58,351 --> 01:13:59,559
All right. Go ahead.

1167
01:14:00,103 --> 01:14:01,228
Yeah.

1168
01:14:02,146 --> 01:14:03,438
It's pretty quick.

1169
01:14:03,731 --> 01:14:05,816
Is this gonna go that fast
with 1 05 pounds on it?

1170
01:14:06,025 --> 01:14:07,067
Yeah.

1171
01:14:11,197 --> 01:14:12,280
Oh, yeah.

1172
01:14:12,365 --> 01:14:14,699
You know, I mean,
the focal length on it is crazy,

1173
01:14:14,784 --> 01:14:17,119
but you'll be able to
shoot really far with it.

1174
01:14:17,203 --> 01:14:18,954
You can zoom hundreds
of feet from something

1175
01:14:19,038 --> 01:14:21,623
or like 1 ,000 feet
and scale it.

1176
01:14:21,707 --> 01:14:23,083
Thousands of feet
with this?

1177
01:14:24,168 --> 01:14:25,210
Yeah.

1178
01:14:28,673 --> 01:14:30,006
About how far
will these project?

1179
01:14:30,091 --> 01:14:31,091
A mile.

1180
01:14:31,425 --> 01:14:33,718
Now, I'm building one
for you guys

1181
01:14:34,011 --> 01:14:35,470
that's three times
louder than this.

1182
01:14:40,017 --> 01:14:43,103
Suddenly, there's
just this amazing sound.

1183
01:14:44,522 --> 01:14:45,522
You can't hear that?

1184
01:14:49,986 --> 01:14:53,572
We've taken inspiration from
ocean creatures, like plankton,

1185
01:14:53,656 --> 01:14:56,908
cuttlefish, that use the light
as a communication device

1186
01:14:56,993 --> 01:15:00,787
or a camouflage, and added an
electro-luminescent paint job.

1187
01:15:00,872 --> 01:15:02,122
lncredible.

1188
01:15:02,206 --> 01:15:03,623
With the mobile projection,

1189
01:15:03,708 --> 01:15:05,167
we can go anywhere
we want with it.

1190
01:15:05,251 --> 01:15:08,336
We can take it to the highways.
We can take it to big buildings.

1191
01:15:08,421 --> 01:15:09,838
We can take it to the streets.

1192
01:15:10,256 --> 01:15:12,966
And we'll be able to project
CO2 emissions in real time

1193
01:15:13,301 --> 01:15:15,260
out of the projector
of the back of the vehicle

1194
01:15:15,344 --> 01:15:16,469
while Leilani's driving.

1195
01:15:17,638 --> 01:15:18,763
So, that's legal.

1196
01:15:19,348 --> 01:15:20,473
That's legal?

1197
01:15:20,558 --> 01:15:21,641
Until you push that.

1198
01:15:23,644 --> 01:15:24,978
That works, right?

1199
01:15:25,646 --> 01:15:26,688
That's legal.

1200
01:15:27,190 --> 01:15:28,273
Okay, it's ready to go, boss.

1201
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:30,609
My feeling is that

1202
01:15:31,027 --> 01:15:33,987
by bringing nature to the city,

1203
01:15:34,614 --> 01:15:36,990
we're hopefully able
to inspire people

1204
01:15:37,783 --> 01:15:39,117
to actually help save
these creatures.

1205
01:15:47,543 --> 01:15:49,878
There's a lot of
species that need protection.

1206
01:15:51,005 --> 01:15:53,423
Most species that are deserving
never get listed.

1207
01:15:56,093 --> 01:15:57,385
After a four-year campaign,

1208
01:15:58,554 --> 01:16:01,556
we finally managed
to get mantas on the docket

1209
01:16:01,641 --> 01:16:04,184
at the 201 3 CITES meeting.

1210
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,311
So, what l want to
show you here is a video

1211
01:16:06,395 --> 01:16:07,562
that shows what we're doing.

1212
01:16:08,648 --> 01:16:10,565
Most people say,
you can't beat money.

1213
01:16:11,150 --> 01:16:12,275
You can't beat politics.

1214
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:14,653
You can't beat those things
with just hope and inspiration.

1215
01:16:15,154 --> 01:16:17,614
We have to make it
socially unacceptable

1216
01:16:17,698 --> 01:16:18,907
to consume these animals.

1217
01:16:18,991 --> 01:16:20,700
I think we live in
a very visual world.

1218
01:16:21,869 --> 01:16:23,787
Imagery is very powerful.

1219
01:16:25,498 --> 01:16:26,957
'Cause you can walk into a room,

1220
01:16:27,041 --> 01:16:28,750
they might speak
1 5 different languages.

1221
01:16:28,834 --> 01:16:33,088
But you show them a photograph,
people get it. They understand.

1222
01:16:33,172 --> 01:16:34,965
"Supping on
conservation soup."

1223
01:16:35,633 --> 01:16:38,385
There we go.
There's the Hong Kong rooftop.

1224
01:17:05,413 --> 01:17:07,622
Copy that.
Let's just go for it now.

1225
01:17:10,084 --> 01:17:11,710
-You got your seat belt on?
-Yeah.

1226
01:17:16,132 --> 01:17:17,173
Let's take a right.

1227
01:17:20,636 --> 01:17:22,262
Just keep on going,
keep on going.

1228
01:17:28,060 --> 01:17:29,060
Good.

1229
01:17:35,651 --> 01:17:36,901
So, what are you filming
in the vehicle?

1230
01:17:37,486 --> 01:17:39,446
lt's a light
on top of the vehicle.

1231
01:17:39,530 --> 01:17:40,572
So, what are you documenting?

1232
01:17:40,656 --> 01:17:43,533
Yeah. And we're getting shots
in industrial areas.

1233
01:17:43,659 --> 01:17:44,826
Why industrial areas?

1234
01:17:45,619 --> 01:17:47,996
The reflections on the car
look prettier.

1235
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:49,748
You might want to do it
somewhere else.

1236
01:17:49,832 --> 01:17:51,583
What if we photograph
your smoke?

1237
01:17:52,251 --> 01:17:53,293
That's not smoke.

1238
01:17:53,377 --> 01:17:54,836
What is it?

1239
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:56,004
That's steam.

1240
01:17:56,088 --> 01:17:57,630
So, if we film your steam,
is that okay?

1241
01:17:57,715 --> 01:17:58,798
No.

1242
01:17:59,967 --> 01:18:04,721
I want people to understand that
we're the only generation left

1243
01:18:04,805 --> 01:18:06,765
that can save these animals.

1244
01:18:07,892 --> 01:18:11,227
There's no other future generation
that we can count on to save us.

1245
01:18:12,188 --> 01:18:13,188
It's us.

1246
01:18:34,627 --> 01:18:35,794
Yes!

1247
01:18:40,966 --> 01:18:42,467
The only way
you're gonna effect change

1248
01:18:42,551 --> 01:18:43,968
in a remote community
like Lamakera

1249
01:18:44,762 --> 01:18:46,805
is to present an alternative.

1250
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:50,850
With the CITES victory,

1251
01:18:50,935 --> 01:18:53,978
we succeeded in getting manta
rays listed for protection,

1252
01:18:54,522 --> 01:18:58,274
which led to a national ban
on all fisheries for manta rays

1253
01:18:58,359 --> 01:18:59,567
throughout all of Indonesia.

1254
01:18:59,652 --> 01:19:01,361
In fact,
it's illegal to even harm one,

1255
01:19:01,695 --> 01:19:03,488
and it can result in
up to a year in prison.

1256
01:19:04,573 --> 01:19:07,283
That law,
it creates new possibilities.

1257
01:19:07,660 --> 01:19:11,454
Yeah. That's our theater.
Yeah. Projector.

1258
01:19:11,539 --> 01:19:15,291
And, then,
where is the electric?

1259
01:19:16,001 --> 01:19:17,794
And in the world
of conservation,

1260
01:19:18,754 --> 01:19:21,798
those small opportunities and those
small doorways that you open

1261
01:19:22,925 --> 01:19:25,176
often lead to
those breakthrough moments.

1262
01:19:30,558 --> 01:19:33,852
Now, whether it works,
that's the next step.

1263
01:20:48,511 --> 01:20:49,719
Lamakera.

1264
01:20:54,016 --> 01:20:55,391
There's our village.

1265
01:21:11,617 --> 01:21:14,118
We want them to get
an entirely new view,

1266
01:21:14,912 --> 01:21:16,120
that the stuff they
go out in the water

1267
01:21:16,205 --> 01:21:17,830
and they see every day
and they stick a spear in

1268
01:21:17,915 --> 01:21:20,542
is worth far more
alive than dead.

1269
01:21:25,256 --> 01:21:27,632
The concept of converting
this hunting culture

1270
01:21:27,716 --> 01:21:30,593
to a tourism culture, on
the surface, seems pretty daunting,

1271
01:21:32,096 --> 01:21:36,224
but we show them the success stories
that we've had in these other areas.

1272
01:21:38,227 --> 01:21:40,311
Places in the world
that had very little

1273
01:21:40,396 --> 01:21:41,396
and now are thriving.

1274
01:21:51,282 --> 01:21:53,658
These kids are gonna
be really influenced by this,

1275
01:21:53,742 --> 01:21:55,994
and they're gonna be
the guides of the future.

1276
01:21:59,248 --> 01:22:00,790
We're just bringing a message.

1277
01:22:03,544 --> 01:22:04,586
It's really up to them.

1278
01:22:24,898 --> 01:22:26,482
Something's up in the air.

1279
01:22:35,826 --> 01:22:37,285
Oh, nice.

1280
01:22:45,294 --> 01:22:47,045
We can make this happen.

1281
01:22:49,131 --> 01:22:52,300
As we face more
and more animal extinctions,

1282
01:22:53,552 --> 01:22:56,179
we need more and more
of these indomitable spirits.

1283
01:23:00,601 --> 01:23:05,521
And we need more people
to understand it's worth doing.

1284
01:23:09,818 --> 01:23:12,070
The small choices
we make each day

1285
01:23:12,821 --> 01:23:16,407
can lead to the kind of world
that we all want for the future.

1286
01:24:34,278 --> 01:24:36,195
Away from

1287
01:24:36,530 --> 01:24:39,991
One million miles away

1288
01:24:40,534 --> 01:24:42,535
From home

1289
01:24:42,911 --> 01:24:44,954
Away from

1290
01:24:45,831 --> 01:24:48,624
One million miles away

1291
01:24:48,709 --> 01:24:50,418
There was a reverend in Japan.

1292
01:24:52,004 --> 01:24:53,796
He had a statement
which really struck me,

1293
01:24:55,215 --> 01:24:58,301
and it was "Better to light one
candle than curse the darkness."

1294
01:25:03,098 --> 01:25:06,142
There's so many people who sit back
and say,"We're screwed,"

1295
01:25:06,852 --> 01:25:08,186
or, you know, "Why bother?"

1296
01:25:12,733 --> 01:25:13,733
But you know what?

1297
01:25:14,318 --> 01:25:16,402
That candle,
that candle means something,

1298
01:25:19,490 --> 01:25:21,073
because with that one candle,

1299
01:25:21,158 --> 01:25:22,784
maybe someone else
with a candle will find you.

1300
01:25:26,538 --> 01:25:28,623
And I think that's where
movements are started.

1301
01:25:40,844 --> 01:25:42,261
I know it all sounds
overwhelming.

1302
01:25:44,306 --> 01:25:48,184
But if we start with just one
thing, we can start a movement.

1303
01:25:50,896 --> 01:25:52,438
Two hands

1304
01:25:52,856 --> 01:25:55,817
Spirit give me two hands

1305
01:25:56,401 --> 01:25:58,110
Humans

1306
01:25:58,529 --> 01:26:01,656
Humans making humans

1307
01:26:01,907 --> 01:26:03,699
Mountains

1308
01:26:04,117 --> 01:26:07,328
Maybe we can move them

1309
01:26:07,454 --> 01:26:12,750
Come now, together we can do this

1310
01:26:12,835 --> 01:26:17,171
Together, we can

1311
01:26:17,798 --> 01:26:22,468
Take my hand

1312
01:26:22,553 --> 01:26:24,470
Now I won't stand around the dark

1313
01:26:24,555 --> 01:26:28,266
Together we can

1314
01:26:28,392 --> 01:26:31,352
Light your candles and stand

1315
01:26:31,436 --> 01:26:33,646
For those who came
Before man

1316
01:26:33,730 --> 01:26:35,481
Now I won't stand around the dark

1317
01:26:35,566 --> 01:26:37,275
Better to light one candle

1318
01:26:38,986 --> 01:26:43,865
Than curse the darkness

1319
01:26:46,326 --> 01:26:48,995
Better to light one candle

1320
01:26:49,955 --> 01:26:54,834
Than curse the darkness

1321
01:26:57,212 --> 01:26:59,088
And breathing

1322
01:26:59,214 --> 01:27:03,009
Give thanks for they have given

1323
01:27:03,093 --> 01:27:04,468
Listen

1324
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:08,431
To all the songs I'm singing

1325
01:27:08,515 --> 01:27:12,894
We can do something or do nothing

1326
01:27:13,854 --> 01:27:15,730
So come now

1327
01:27:16,023 --> 01:27:19,567
Strike the match,
Let's do this

1328
01:27:19,651 --> 01:27:23,905
Together, we can

1329
01:27:23,989 --> 01:27:28,993
Take my hand

1330
01:27:29,077 --> 01:27:31,037
Now I won't stand around the dark

1331
01:27:31,121 --> 01:27:34,957
Together, we can

1332
01:27:35,042 --> 01:27:37,376
Light our candles and stand

1333
01:27:37,878 --> 01:27:40,046
For those that came before man

1334
01:27:40,130 --> 01:27:41,797
Now I won't stand around the dark

1335
01:27:41,924 --> 01:27:44,091
Better to light one candle

1336
01:27:45,677 --> 01:27:50,222
Than curse the darkness

1337
01:27:52,392 --> 01:27:55,227
Oh, better to light
One candle

1338
01:27:56,605 --> 01:28:01,275
Than curse the darkness

1339
01:28:03,987 --> 01:28:07,239
Oh, better to light one candle

1340
01:28:07,991 --> 01:28:12,703
Than curse the darkness

1341
01:28:14,748 --> 01:28:17,667
Oh, better to light
One candle

1342
01:28:18,585 --> 01:28:21,128
Than curse the darkness

1343
01:28:33,100 --> 01:28:35,768
In the trees

1344
01:28:40,190 --> 01:28:42,984
'Tween the leaves

1345
01:28:46,947 --> 01:28:48,781
All the growing

1346
01:28:52,369 --> 01:28:54,286
That we did

1347
01:28:54,788 --> 01:29:00,960
All the loving

1348
01:29:01,753 --> 01:29:07,049
And separating

1349
01:29:08,635 --> 01:29:14,140
All the turning

1350
01:29:15,559 --> 01:29:17,643
To face

1351
01:29:17,853 --> 01:29:22,064
Each other

1352
01:29:28,071 --> 01:29:30,489
I divide

1353
01:29:34,870 --> 01:29:36,871
In the sky

1354
01:29:41,793 --> 01:29:44,211
In the seams

1355
01:29:46,757 --> 01:29:49,008
'Tween the beams

1356
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:54,597
All the loving

1357
01:29:56,516 --> 01:30:01,604
And separating

1358
01:30:03,315 --> 01:30:08,152
All the turning

1359
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:15,326
To face each other

1360
01:30:17,454 --> 01:30:18,954
Without

1361
01:30:19,998 --> 01:30:25,419
Biodiversity

1362
01:30:27,422 --> 01:30:29,507
I'm nothing

1363
01:30:30,967 --> 01:30:33,552
Means like

1364
01:30:34,304 --> 01:30:36,472
I never

1365
01:30:38,350 --> 01:30:44,230
Existed

1366
01:30:46,358 --> 01:30:51,278
Without my heart

1367
01:30:51,655 --> 01:30:57,034
With no reflection

1368
01:30:57,119 --> 01:31:00,704
I cease to exist

1369
01:31:04,668 --> 01:31:08,212
And my children

1370
01:31:10,173 --> 01:31:13,676
Are dying now

1371
01:31:14,886 --> 01:31:18,139
Inside me

1372
01:31:18,223 --> 01:31:20,975
My children

1373
01:31:22,894 --> 01:31:27,857
Are dying now

1374
01:31:28,525 --> 01:31:30,901
Inside me

1375
01:31:31,903 --> 01:31:34,989
My children

1376
01:31:36,408 --> 01:31:41,078
All I love

1377
01:31:41,997 --> 01:31:44,832
All I know

1378
01:31:45,876 --> 01:31:48,961
All I've known

1379
01:31:50,463 --> 01:31:55,092
I am dying now

1380
01:31:56,303 --> 01:31:59,138
Inside me

1381
01:31:59,598 --> 01:32:07,855
My children
