come across, earthquakes, snow, what distributed quickly was alw`ys the | :05:03. | :05:26. | |
priority. It is first three or four days, m`ximum | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
ten to 15 days after the disaster. At that point, it is pretty much | :05:38. | :05:38. | |
finished, the emergency marketing. I know there are great in | :05:39. | :05:58. | |
Cornwall and the product out there. But last | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
year, ShelterBox was plunged into a crisis of its own. Its founder, Tom | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
Henderson, was arrested in connection | :06:12. | :06:30. | |
wrong and remains on police bail while enquiries continue. There | :06:31. | :07:02. | |
followed the typhoon, SheltdrBox reported it had | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
200 ShelterBoxes and 1500 tdnts But how does that compare with previous | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
an earthquake struck Haiti, ShelterBox, then | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
organisation, had within five weeks distributed 7000 boxes and tents. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
That is several times the alount handed out | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
there were more challenging. Haiti and Typhoon Haiyan are | :07:36. | :07:45. | |
was very obvious immediatelx that when you flew stuff into thd | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
Somewhere like the Philippines, it is the sheer logistics moving | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
between islands. When I was there for two weeks, it took me nhne | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
flights to see three the exercise of saying, if we | :08:06. | :08:52. | |
airfreighted it, it takes away the cost of the tent. | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
was much early on , each aid was needed. We do not want to w`ste | :09:01. | :09:00. | |
donors' money by putting aid on could not have given enough. | :09:01. | :09:15. | |
ShelterBox is part of a much wider international response. We `re a | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
relatively features airfreighted. It does not | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
mention the usually slower sea Haiyan. That concerns some | :09:28. | :09:41. | |
ShelterBox's former partners. Until 2012, ShelterBox's Norway affiliate | :09:42. | :09:42. | |
Siegfried. We were told the main priority was send it by plaxing so | :09:43. | :10:23. | |
clear in publicity materials that not everything is sent by ahr | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
of going too fast. You have to think about the destruction of thd | :10:32. | :10:32. | |
infrastructure be to move things about in the | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
country. The last thing we do is create or contribute to | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
bottlenecks or local diffictlties. The concern illustrated by `nother | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
of ShelterBox's deployments before Alison joined. Its response to | :10:51. | :10:50. | |
Haiti earthquake in 2010 was the biggest in its history. But, as | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
these pictures distributed. In the Philipphnes | :10:55. | :11:16. | |
ShelterBox tents were due as late as last week, but how useful | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
are they after a catastrophd on this scale? | :11:25. | :11:24. | |
in November, four days after Typhoon Haiyan, it advised tents were | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
needed, the priority after that was | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
rebuilding homes. The communities that where they had had | :11:42. | :11:56. | |
some emergency needs met, stch as I tent and a tarpaulin, they were | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
saying, we want is still finding families for whom a | :11:59. | :12:12. | |
tent is a lifeline. The Philippines is | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
and we are seeing that it still has impact, but some amenities have not | :12:18. | :12:18. | |
been it delivers. P have specific | :12:19. | :12:32. | |
benefits but compared to kept like tarpaulins, they are high`v`lue | :12:33. | :12:48. | |
jealousy over who got what led to fears of violence against rdcipients | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
and charity workers. In a cdrtain context, if one group of hotseholds | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
get that Shelterbox and gets everything, and we collect | :13:06. | :13:18. | |
So, to what extent is Sheltdrbox my thinking outside the box? It is now | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
so`called sheltered kits, shmple tarpaulins and tools. On | :13:26. | :13:56. | |
Philippines. But there were nearly four times as many unboxed pence, as | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
well as thousands of individual items like solar lamps. | :14:01. | :14:12. | |
delivers outside emergency but some believe that the message donors are | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
given them closely enough rdflect the complex reality. I find it very | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
problematic that they are tdlling donors but this | :14:25. | :14:34. | |

big fundraising effort in Atstralia. Its spokesman, Mike Greensl`de, | :15:34. | :15:34. | |
seemed sure all the money will go to the Philippines. In fact, | :15:35. | :15:49. | |
the Shelterbox website says that in the unlikely event of Sheltdrbox | :15:50. | :15:50. | |
raising more than a Shelterbox says that the end of last | :15:51. | :16:11. | |
year it had collected ?4.4 lillion guarantee it. Our intention is to | :16:12. | :16:23. | |
spend all the money that we have raised. We still can't predhct how | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
much we will end Shelterbox. Whatever they nded, we | :16:29. | :16:49. | |
will be happy to give. That Shelterbox looks to move | :16:50. | :17:15. | |

Gifford in South Devon ` 60 The magic | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
threatened wildlife. of organism that is food for the | :17:46. | :18:42. | |
birds. It is pretty the oozing. This redshank is feeding | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
on the tide line as surface making them easy pickings. | :18:52. | :19:04. | |
On the grassy banks, this ctrlew is probing even deeper. Its longer bill | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
allows it to feed on a diffdrent with tidal flats that has a tide | :19:09. | :19:26. | |
ebbing and flooding twice a the reserve itself. It looks like | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
just a bit of wet grassland for the wildlife that would've used | :19:29. | :19:56. | |
the original salt marsh. Those very rare. Now, Devon Wildlhfe Trust | :19:57. | :20:08. | |
are trying to put some back. To do that they | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
sea wall controlled by this very clever tidal valve. We have a big | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
tube through the bank. sea water. We can control the sea | :20:21. | :20:31. | |
water echoes in there. This sea water floods into the naturd | :20:32. | :20:57. | |
there. We want the landscapd that we see out there to be replicated in | :20:58. | :20:58. | |
there, as it once was. We nded salt water to go in | :20:59. | :21:27. | |
wall as they are outside it. Salt marsh is | :21:28. | :21:28. | |
shrimps and, in turn, the bhrds that feed on them. This egret already | :21:29. | :21:46. | |
picking up the sea but `` to this sea wall in | :21:47. | :22:53. | |
the bombing? There was a for that. We used to spend time down | :22:54. | :23:32. | |
here swimming and catching lullets in the central canal, | :23:33. | :23:43. | |
at rain here all the time. Despite the best efforts | :23:44. | :23:53. | |
years the bird population started to go into decline. | :23:54. | :24:30. | |

onto the River Avon and the mudflats. This is a great | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
types of shank, green and rdd. The greenshank in front is a much rarer | :25:22. | :25:21. | |
bird locally than the redsh`nk, with sandpiper. It's easy to spot at a | :25:22. | :25:45. | |
distance. No`one they bob all the time. It could be | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
to make them ragworm on the mudflats just by the | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
hide. Moving water overall bird numbers are well down, | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
though there are quite a For a keen birder like me, this is a | :26:13. | :26:36. | |
real highlight ` the curlew. Our largest wader and a beautiftl | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
and, thankfully, relatively common. This one is preening its fe`thers, | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
but it's a bit tricky with only a long bill and legs to use. Ht uses | :26:50. | :26:50. | |

OK, not something the Exe or Tamar estuaries, but a | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
nice intimate reserve with, if you are lucky, some real raritids like | :27:20. | :27:34. | |
the ibis. I love this reserve, not just because it is interesthng, but | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
