Scientists and explorers go on an extraordinary mission in Mozambique to reach a forest that no human has set foot in. What was your favorite part of this video?
Everything is so interesting! I never knew that there were still forests out there that are free from human interference! Thank you to the people who does their best to conserve our natural resources!!

@@cml2002 You don't become a scientist by wanting to be a scientist. You become a scientist by doing what a scientists does, and if you don't like that then find a different occupation.
By using "we," there is a direct entanglement of people as a total. Of everybody. Rather than pointing the blame onto a discrete, manipulating group, we are therefore separating ourselves from the ties to this issue. It shows us OUR own reflection, as it affects the multitude.
So i seen on the discovery channel about all these volcanoes that spew more co2 in a day than all mankind together...what we going to do about that?....how can we stop 100s of volcanoes?
Would have loved to hear a bit of the local community’s knowledge of the mountain. They said no one had gone up to the forest, but did they have stories of why or what they thought was up there? Also would have liked to know the specialities of the members of the expedition.
The first “climber” is also an Exxon employee. He is there to learn if there are any signs of oil there on that mountain. If so, as the first person up there, him who is representing Exxon will have dibs on the drilling rights. The rest of them are there to have Forrest orgies where no one else has done it before.
For whatever reason, the video leaves out the fact that the mountain had been visited by locals before, albeit not in the recent memory of anyone nearby. However, the did find ancient pots buried near the stream.
@Roberto - none of which is true in this case .... maybe do some background research first and you will see that this is part of a much larger program of conservation by this team in northern Mozambique to generate the evidence base (e.g. new species) to conserve these forests (most are very accessible and highly threatened) from destruction .... and what are you doing for conservation?
I'd be smiling too, if I could do what he does... I still am smiling whilst going through a forest and look at live around me. It's people (and their actions) that make me cry.
This kind of media should be the ones that is shown to the youth today. It shows the perfection and beauty of nature as it is. We should be thankful enough to have lived in this time where nature still exist but also be responsible for passing it to the next generations. Best documentary i have ever seen in my life 👍.
Mutual of Omaha’s wild kingdom was a favorite show of my family as I was growing up. I believe that show was a main reason for my love of nature that I have had my whole life. That and my growing up in the country where I could explore forests and wetlands uninhibited.
Why “the youth”? We’re the ones who are going to have to watch the planet slowly start to cook us alive, because the older generation shoved all the consequences for their greed onto everyone else. We’re the ones who are trying to stem the tide, while the last vestiges of the older generation block us at every turn. We’re the ones who are screaming to “leave a better planet for our children” while the older generation seems to weirdly think they can take all the natural resources they’re brutally removing from the soil with them into the afterlife.... Said afterlife isn’t coming fast enough to quell the aggressive greed of the older generations that, IMHO, would do better to have this shown to them. Because they’ve forgotten what is beautiful in this world. The younger generation has known all along.
" Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better' Albert Einstein, This quote has always been an inspiration and rightly represents the blessings of nature. Born and raised in a pristine mountain environment I always feel the nature very spiritual.
While the rest of the world is chasing modernization and development, these almost unspoken heroes continue to fight for what sustains the planet as a whole. Thank you for all you've done. 💖
Well we the indigenous peoples of the earth have been harmonious with nature forever. It is only now some western folks have come full circle to understand that humans don't have to be at war with mother nature.
I applaud every knowledgeable people who devote their time and skills into the betterment of our world. Like with these amazing scientists who fight to preserve this planet's beauty, I am grateful for every person in any profession, who also abide by sustainable development and ecological modernization.
It takes every single one of us to 'be more people like him' ... or we will never undo the arrogant destruction we've done to this planet-- and thus to ourselves, and everything upon it.
My eyes just wanna pop out upon hearing a forest never touched by human before... thanks team Mt.

And you really believe that in all the ages of human existence that no one could have possibly visited that place, just because a film crew and a few other people say so? There is no way that claim can be verified.
@@oleggorky906 I am basing my comment on scientific exploration WITH proper, lawful and humane approach. Many scientists and collectors bypass some law and ordinance from local or national agencies.
@@goyatheexplorer5332 if you’re saying that it’s the first approved or licensed expedition, then fair enough, that sounds like a reasonable claim. What you said at first didn’t add up. But if you meant it as in the first legitimate expedition, fair enough. I know that there are some very high buttes and mesa’s in the Amazon, around the Venezuela/Brazil border are thought to have never been thoroughly, scientifically, explored but you can never say never.

When he reached the top and saw all the butterflies. What we are doing to our miracle planet breaks my heart. Please keep doing your research. It does matter. Thank you.
This is a very powerful film. Truly inspirational and fascinating. Note this is part of a much larger conservation program by this team of scientists over the last 15 years trying to save these mountains and finding new species to raise the importance is part of this. i applaud their commitment and dedication.
thank you very much for this upload, NatGeo! i've always loved forests and greeneries! i hope we can still save most of these forests in our efforts to curb a devastating climate change.
@Dik Burns unfortunately you are only partially correct. There are TOO MANY HUMANS on the Earth. No thanks to religious fanaticism, missionaries and poverty. FREE BIRTH CONTROL TO ALL! Or else we need and WILL EVENTUALLY EXPERIENCE a much more DEADLY VIRUS. Human beings might possibly be Nature's one MISTAKE. Nobody's perfect.
I so wish the video was longer! The excitement I felt waiting for them to reach the top and see what was up there was immense. It makes me so sad to think about what we are doing to our planet, I hope we can turn things around before it is too late
Not sure how I feel about this. I get the scientific approach but exposing it for the whole world to see may result its downfall. Some things should never be found and remain lost.
It's not exactly lost..The area around it is heavily cultivated ...So people always know about it..It just very hard to access due to the high cliff around it..
Reminds me of the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and I quote, "Beautiful things don't need attention". This phrase was uttered by the photographer Sean O Connell when he opt not to take pictures of Snow leopard in the wilderness of Himalayan mountains.
After watching this, I've decided my specialization. I would be taking Civil Engineering where my Specialization is Environmental, I would like my grandsons and greatgrandsons to have a world where Trees and Nature still exist
This made me feel sad, and happy at the same time. As an ecology student, I also want to help in conservation. But I'm also afraid I will be in debt my whole life for doing so. I hope our generation could change the way we give importance to the scientists. They are literally saving your baby even if they are not yet born. Also, I get a good cry over this one thanks natgeo!
Let your mission outweigh the cost. Even if you never pay it back financially you will pay it back socially. And our final judge will weigh in your favor
Much respect to all for this amazing documentary. Living in big cities surrounded by asphalt and concrete so remote from wilderness creates humans totally desensitized. Consciousness and spiritual beliefs are the beginning to make the situation better.
Amazingly, those of us living in and near places like this are the desensitized ones, until someone from the city comes and marvels, then we remember how blessed we are
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 💙✨ But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive. Jeremiah 13:17 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matthew 7:19 Parable of the Tares (Matthew 13:24-43)
I hope these scientists will reverse everything they did to this site. I.e. refill all the holes they dug, get rid of all the trash they have generated, release all the species they caught after recording it...
Let's hop on a jet with a humongous carbon footprint and go defile a pristine environment no human has ever touched because my daughter may not be able to see it one day. The irony is stifling.
Idk what they plan to do but unfortunately, scientists do sometimes take animals. But in the end, it’s for the good of the species or location, in situations like this, since it helps conservation efforts.
This Video may have a disadvantage because of curiosity for sure now that they know this land exist they would go to it, but I hope no one will touch this stunning and beautiful piece of land
That's a first. Most comments here are about attacking the ecologists for not being eco-friendly enough. To SJW's forgiveness is a dirty word. They get off on punishment, but love & forgiveness are anathema to them.
Although that was a big hole to dig their impact upon that ecosystem is very minor and will likely recover very quickly and once again it will seem as if no one has been there.
Protective scientists setting traps and disturbing with hardware tools...???? I wish they find there a tyranisaurical bug that eat them all. Falsehood has no other limits than punishment.
Weird. Isn't it? When it happened to me for the first time, but watching a different documentary, it kind of shocked me that I was moved to tears. However, I wasn't surprised. As you said; "I've always loved Ecology this just affirmed it". Tears have a way of revealing our passions. We should always pursue our passions. It fuels our motivation and tenacity.
It makes me terribly sad that people are competing against each other on social media etc when we all should be united and working on helping the environment
With as many nationalities in the USA, I am surprised that so little of us in number are not united in numbers to help with volunteering or funding the projects for preserving resources of earth. Thanks for this program.
Wish this gave a little more information as to what they were doing and what they found etc. I get the point of the film but it kind of took away from the mountaintop itself.
Thank you National Geographic for showing us this fabulous expedition! They are doing a great job and creating hope to preserve our planet. This rainforest looks beautiful and needs to be protected.
The music durning the intro Amalthea made me cry. So gripping and I guess the sudden urge for tears was because of the fact that we do need to take care of this planet and a lot of people don’t even think about this stuff
Yess, actually it does make you proud, for someone who dedicate themselves to studying nature, conserving it, it's makes you really proud, it'll remember for thousand of generations, your name will be on it forever
Just don't put it on social media... Because it'll just get poached. Lizards, small mammals etc. People will want it as pets or medicine... Next thing you know they're extinct. It's fun and it's an achievement to discover something new but often these well intentioned scientist do a lot of harm as well. He obviously has no idea how Africa works. Those antelope probably went there (or are still alive because no one knew they were there) to escape humans because the whole area around them is cultivated. Now their location is revealed they're as good as dinner.... :(
I had tears in my eyes watching this wonderful film. What an amazing planet we live on, such spectacular beauty and marvellous people investigating all these wonders on our behalf. Thank you for uploading this precious footage and helping us to realise how truly blessed we are.
In 1990 with an environmental degree I had a choice to document the demise of our ecosystems or try to reduce pollution contaminating our world. I worked for industry for years cleaning up haz-waste. There's just too many humans on earth to stop the massive extinctions we are just beginning. We will see how disease and lack of resources effect our population since we are not able to reduce our numbers by planning.
Numbers isn't the problem here. It's the huge corporations and incredibly wealthy individuals using money to get away with polluting our planet to such a vast degree. We can stop it and we can fix it, but these companies and massive industrial deforestation practices need to be shut down. There are plentiful resources, but the wealthy few are destroying them.
I love every moment of this wonderful film, but my absolute favourite is when Dr Julian Bayliss says to his daughter, Poppy, "Can daddy help you?".....asking permission of each other, no forcing....is a wonderful message for our times.
I like all but their belief that they are the first humans to step foot there. I doubt this. Humans have been in Africa for hundreds of thousands of years. To assume no one ever managed to make it up that just seems arrogant to me.
He was only going on the word of the locals who weren’t aware of anyone ever being there. Sure that’s not definitive proof, but the locals would know if a bunch of foreign rock climbers were in town to climb it.
T.C. Thompson Some believe our planet is 350 billion years old, and they’re discovering lost civilizations all the time. We have no idea how many civilizations actually have disappeared. Just theories
Every single sight is musmerizing The moment when they found a new specie make me super excited So for me every single sight of the forest is heart touching Great job guys👍
The gaze they had over their face before climbing the cliff priceless all their emotions had been reflected in this glimpse they really love what they do 👏👏
Using Ecosia is a good way to contribute to the cause - it's a search engine that uses its profits to plant trees in their native habitat. Their projects are regularly updated on the TH-cam channel.
I fully agree with the professor in regards to human interference in natural ecosystems. It is shameful and inexcusable that, as humans, there are not enough natural habitats protected and/or restored. Also agreed, as humans we can live in harmony and in health with our natural ecosystems.
With every human birth the planet groans. Humans must stop populating the planet! Look at what we have destroyed in the last 200 years. I hope the planet survives the human race. Species from other planets must look at us like we are one of the worst toxic species in the universe...and to be avoided.
Just me, 21 years old finding the beauty of such documentaries, definitely my goal to watch and learn at least from two documentaries instead of series and films...
At the start of this film, I felt open and excited, but as it continued. . . It just made me feel sad. Sad to see an untouched part of the world, once again being "handled", cut into, extracted from for the benefit of humans. Species being treasure hunted to see how they might someday be exploited and have a name placed on them as if their 'discovery' somehow makes them official. I have always struggled to understand how and why anyone ever obtained the right to 'own' any piece of this beautiful planet. Don't get me wrong, I don't think those on the expedition have bad intention. How exciting would it be, and what an amazing opportunity, to see a part of the world untouched by humans? I just wonder. . . What is different now from the expeditions of the past. Often seems it's the "discoveries" that bring the masses. I pray for all the species that exist there that what has happened before doesn't happen there. Peace be on all of existence. 🕊
Agreed, the guy says he wants to measure human interference, he IS the interference. Naming butterfly’s after his children, acting like colonist. We already know climate change is happening, we don’t need him to go to Africa to confirm this
Same here. I stopped watching early. Seeing the conservationist catch and trap thus condemning butterflies and mice made me think of treasure hunting...
Hmmm I think you might've misunderstood the overall cause. The amount that they trap and catch is a fraction of the population, especially for bugs. The research that they're doing is actually meant to be used towards preservation of that area! One of the ways to preserve this area is to document species population's that can potentially be harmed by human interference. If there's a new species, labeling it as endangered can vastly improve those chances. + studying the effects of climate change can lead to new environmental policies in favor of preserving our beautiful earth!

" What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another. "
It is a misuse of pronouns to say We are doing this. Largely, it is They, the governments and corporations, who do these things to Us. Pronouns.
By using "we," there is a direct entanglement of people as a total. Of everybody. Rather than pointing the blame onto a discrete, manipulating group, we are therefore separating ourselves from the ties to this issue. It shows us OUR own reflection, as it affects the multitude.
Can’t argue with that, sadly the only way ( in my opinion) we could stop is if there were so few of us we couldn’t destroy ourselves our our planet.

you mean like NatGeo?
One of the most stunning,impactful and beautiful mini-doc that I have seen! So grateful to the silent heroes known as scientists !!
Thanks to this documentary video, I want to give my highest appreciation to all the scientists involved in this expedition. You guys are amazing, 💪💪

This film is perfect, one of my favourites in the longes time. Profound message, beautiful cinematography. Thanks Nat Géo.
We're so glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching.
Agree. From PHILLIPINES
Check out David Attenborough's amazing documentary.
@@kihntagious David Attenborough rocks! :-D
Yes, one of the best 👍🏼
Scientists, Thank you. May this voluntary expedition advance knowledge & assist in saving the climate, Earth, & us all.
with the background music, I felt the loneliness from the movie Interstellar. amazing cinematography. love it.
I just shed tear when they said free😢 thank you so much for your mission to protect our planet ❤
This has some of the most wonderful filming I've ever seen.
I hope these scientists will reverse everything they did to this site. I.e. refill all the holes they dug, get rid of all the trash they have generated, release all the species they caught after recording it...
My thoughts exactly. I know they must take specimens, but I wish they wouldn't. This place is sacred.
That is the general procedure on such a project. But you're right, it's especially important in a location like this one.
Someone who clearly demonstrates his disdain for those who don't show respect makes it VERY obvious his intent is to return it to the way he found it.
Let's hop on a jet with a humongous carbon footprint and go defile a pristine environment no human has ever touched because my daughter may not be able to see it one day. The irony is stifling.
Idk what they plan to do but unfortunately, scientists do sometimes take animals. But in the end, it’s for the good of the species or location, in situations like this, since it helps conservation efforts.
This Video may have a disadvantage because of curiosity for sure now that they know this land exist they would go to it, but I hope no one will touch this stunning and beautiful piece of land
I'm also hoping for that...discoveries could be good and bad at times. Great things should be protected.
Africans have known this land for hundreds of years, if not thousands.
The music is amazing too, especially with the headphones.
Let's stop being selfish and forgive each other it will do wonders for our planet. Much love and many blessings
That's a first. Most comments here are about attacking the ecologists for not being eco-friendly enough. To SJW's forgiveness is a dirty word. They get off on punishment, but love & forgiveness are anathema to them.
@@robinlillian9471 let us look through the eyes of our Saviour not serpents
Speechless at the profound beauty of this place as well as very embarrased by how much damage we have done to mother earth
I love that you SEE NATURE as I SEE AS WELL, even about the insects,
Thank you.
watching this brought tears to my eyes, the earth never ceases to amaze me
This should be shown in every school on the globe. 🌎🌍🌏
The baby is amazing god bless him and his family❤❤❤
I need more of these. It inspires me even more to save nature.
Only stupid people are asking for inspiration before doing something meaningful.
Nothing had changed to this pristine forest untill they came....
"THEY" are the ones who give you information. Without them you will think butterflies are your ancestors spirits!!!
Although that was a big hole to dig their impact upon that ecosystem is very minor and will likely recover very quickly and once again it will seem as if no one has been there.
Well if they never discovered anything about this place.. you will be Litterally fukcing dead mate
stating a fact is hard to handle apparantly
Such a paradox, in order to study an undisturbed biotope, you'll need to disturb it.
And use tons of fossil fuels to get to it.
Lol... I agree. I haven't watched it yet but I hope he takes precautions as not disturb the forest.
Protective scientists setting traps and disturbing with hardware tools...????
I wish they find there a tyranisaurical bug that eat them all.
Falsehood has no other limits than punishment.
what they could of done is used drones... fly in fly out leave no trace.
Have you ever heard the saying that "one needs to break eggs to eat an omelet"?
I’ve never been moved to tears by a documentary I’ve always loved Ecology this just affirmed it.
Weird. Isn't it? When it happened to me for the first time, but watching a different documentary, it kind of shocked me that I was moved to tears. However, I wasn't surprised. As you said; "I've always loved Ecology this just affirmed it". Tears have a way of revealing our passions. We should always pursue our passions. It fuels our motivation and tenacity.
So what?
This is a powerful film
It's as powerful as the Batman movie eh!! 😁😁😆🤣
BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
why?
How
@Dik Burns u're just scared of change
I wish a 3 hour documentary of the whole team and more details would exist!
It makes me terribly sad that people are competing against each other on social media etc when we all should be united and working on helping the environment
With as many nationalities in the USA, I am surprised that so little of us in number are not united in numbers to help with volunteering or funding the projects for preserving resources of earth.
Thanks for this program.
Thank you for this, NatGeo👌
Wish this gave a little more information as to what they were doing and what they found etc. I get the point of the film but it kind of took away from the mountaintop itself.
Thank you National Geographic for showing us this fabulous expedition! They are doing a great job and creating hope to preserve our planet. This rainforest looks beautiful and needs to be protected.
This is the best film with the greatest importance that I've seen in the past decade.
I agree
National geographic have always greatest documentaries based of reality and deep tech. Loving the National world wide.
What do you think of the new Fauci film on Nat Geo
The music durning the intro Amalthea made me cry. So gripping and I guess the sudden urge for tears was because of the fact that we do need to take care of this planet and a lot of people don’t even think about this stuff
Thank y’all for everything you have done and continue to do
I've never thought about it before, but discovering a new species and naming it sounds like an achievement in life.
Yess, actually it does make you proud, for someone who dedicate themselves to studying nature, conserving it, it's makes you really proud, it'll remember for thousand of generations, your name will be on it forever
@@abdindaraii537 unless you're carl linnaeus it'll get renamed and moved around in about 9 years
Or be very lucky and stumble across something new.
Just don't put it on social media... Because it'll just get poached. Lizards, small mammals etc. People will want it as pets or medicine... Next thing you know they're extinct. It's fun and it's an achievement to discover something new but often these well intentioned scientist do a lot of harm as well. He obviously has no idea how Africa works. Those antelope probably went there (or are still alive because no one knew they were there) to escape humans because the whole area around them is cultivated. Now their location is revealed they're as good as dinner.... :(
@@SkyeAten how Africa works? As if humans everywhere else haven’t destroyed most of the natural habitats they’ve been in.
How incredible and beautiful and sad at the same time. The unsung heroes of our world.
I hope that one day, when she's old enough to appreciate it, she watches this video and sees how happy and proud he was in that moment @ 19:02 ♥

Never been on a mountain like that! Beautiful🤗
I had tears in my eyes watching this wonderful film. What an amazing planet we live on, such spectacular beauty and marvellous people investigating all these wonders on our behalf. Thank you for uploading this precious footage and helping us to realise how truly blessed we are.
Dr Julian might have the most important job on the planet.
It's sad that humans have done so much good in the world, but also destroyed so much. Finding these sites is just incredible.
…until it is destroyed too 😥
This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. To the bunch that went out in this expedition; Thank You so so much.
Amazing unexplored forest! Beautiful! 🌿🌿🌿🌼💕
I loved every second of this expedition documentary - inspirational. All credit to the dedicated field conservation team.
This is so sad and beautiful at the same time
In 1990 with an environmental degree I had a choice to document the demise of our ecosystems or try to reduce pollution contaminating our world. I worked for industry for years cleaning up haz-waste. There's just too many humans on earth to stop the massive extinctions we are just beginning. We will see how disease and lack of resources effect our population since we are not able to reduce our numbers by planning.
blah blah blah , yes lets just play god and tell others how many humans are allowed to be here
John Jones like the down speak about human pressure as this scientist goes places that haven’t seen human pressure.
Numbers isn't the problem here. It's the huge corporations and incredibly wealthy individuals using money to get away with polluting our planet to such a vast degree. We can stop it and we can fix it, but these companies and massive industrial deforestation practices need to be shut down. There are plentiful resources, but the wealthy few are destroying them.
@@themardbard9096 you are correct and it is time to stop them
This is a wholesome topic that TH-cam reccomended me instead of toxic political issues.
My favorite is the commentaries by the head of the expedition.
it has the same eerie soundtrack feeling of Interstellar , inception and gravity. a great job
I loved every second of this documentary - thanks to everyone involved in making it :)
I love every moment of this wonderful film, but my absolute favourite is when Dr Julian Bayliss says to his daughter, Poppy, "Can daddy help you?".....asking permission of each other, no forcing....is a wonderful message for our times.
I like all but their belief that they are the first humans to step foot there. I doubt this. Humans have been in Africa for hundreds of thousands of years. To assume no one ever managed to make it up that just seems arrogant to me.
Nah not from Africa. Likely a bunch of rock climbers from the UK, the usa or australia have been up there a few times.
He was only going on the word of the locals who weren’t aware of anyone ever being there. Sure that’s not definitive proof, but the locals would know if a bunch of foreign rock climbers were in town to climb it.
T.C. Thompson Some believe our planet is 350 billion years old, and they’re discovering lost civilizations all the time. We have no idea how many civilizations actually have disappeared. Just theories
Everest wasn't scaled by a local the first time
For millions of years, humans have walked on Africa
Every single sight is musmerizing
The moment when they found a new specie make me super excited So for me every single sight of the forest is heart touching
Great job guys👍
The gaze they had over their face before climbing the cliff priceless all their emotions had been reflected in this glimpse they really love what they do 👏👏
Now this documentary makes me wanna change my college course. From Political Science to Ecological courses, How's that?
Using Ecosia is a good way to contribute to the cause - it's a search engine that uses its profits to plant trees in their native habitat. Their projects are regularly updated on the TH-cam channel.
Almost any major other than political science might give you some self worth and even a career to make your money back
Seems good you got a lot approving request from big companies to expose the forest.
Me too ☺
You can study another course likes the forest without stop your political science course right now.
I fully agree with the professor in regards to human interference in natural ecosystems. It is shameful and inexcusable that, as humans, there are not enough natural habitats protected and/or restored. Also agreed, as humans we can live in harmony and in health with our natural ecosystems.
With every human birth the planet groans. Humans must stop populating the planet! Look at what we have destroyed in the last 200 years. I hope the planet survives the human race. Species from other planets must look at us like we are one of the worst toxic species in the universe...and to be avoided.
I kinda disagree because he hypocritically went into an untouched place and started catching animals and naming them after his family.
What a beautiful place. I hope it will be protected.
Just me, 21 years old finding the beauty of such documentaries, definitely my goal to watch and learn at least from two documentaries instead of series and films...
At the start of this film, I felt open and excited, but as it continued. . . It just made me feel sad. Sad to see an untouched part of the world, once again being "handled", cut into, extracted from for the benefit of humans. Species being treasure hunted to see how they might someday be exploited and have a name placed on them as if their 'discovery' somehow makes them official. I have always struggled to understand how and why anyone ever obtained the right to 'own' any piece of this beautiful planet. Don't get me wrong, I don't think those on the expedition have bad intention. How exciting would it be, and what an amazing opportunity, to see a part of the world untouched by humans? I just wonder. . . What is different now from the expeditions of the past. Often seems it's the "discoveries" that bring the masses. I pray for all the species that exist there that what has happened before doesn't happen there. Peace be on all of existence. 🕊
Agreed, the guy says he wants to measure human interference, he IS the interference. Naming butterfly’s after his children, acting like colonist. We already know climate change is happening, we don’t need him to go to Africa to confirm this
Same here. I stopped watching early. Seeing the conservationist catch and trap thus condemning butterflies and mice made me think of treasure hunting...
I agree with you 100%!
Hmmm I think you might've misunderstood the overall cause. The amount that they trap and catch is a fraction of the population, especially for bugs. The research that they're doing is actually meant to be used towards preservation of that area! One of the ways to preserve this area is to document species population's that can potentially be harmed by human interference. If there's a new species, labeling it as endangered can vastly improve those chances. + studying the effects of climate change can lead to new environmental policies in favor of preserving our beautiful earth!
uhh...butterflies live about a month. there's no more harm to catching one than swatting a fly.
What an EXTRAORDINARY VIDEO.!!! THANK YOU 😍😍😍😍😍😍
