Description

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This planet seems increasingly fragile, and we're just starting to see the

first signs of serious political will globally to protect it. Global warming

and the destruction of natural habitats and animal species are becoming

priority issues for governments. This week we present two field reports that

highlight this theme, and how communities and individual activists are doing

something to alleviate these problems, one small step at a time. We have a

report from Tennessee by the CBC's veteran reporter Joe Schlesinger and his

energetic producer Jet Belgraver about an animal refuge for elephants

recovering from trauma and abuse. These elephants are part of a larger

problem in Africa, Asia and India where elephant communities are under

increasing threat by poaching and habitat destruction, resulting in

uncharacteristically aggressive behaviour on the part of the animals.

Scientists say this change in behaviour is a warning sign to humans. Our

second report is by the CBC's enterprising Nancy Durham who travelled to

Cornwall, Britain to report on how the rocky and stormy coast has become a

mecca for surfers, but also for clean energy entrepreneurs who are hoping to

harness wave power as an alternative energy source.
