3:30 pm
everyday life. so maybe we all because like instead of the, let's say boss without it, if not from the goodness of our hearts and our foresight isn't this, then let's just do it for our own selfish needs. hello and welcome. i'm father got the body and you are watching equally and the connection between the wireless, the fox, vantage and our own well being is more direct. that'd be then to be nice. the i p c . c has also said the c. so in today is episode. let's explore more ways of helping
3:31 pm
the nature and in done helping ourselves. the magnificent roy's been going. taiga is the national animal of india. and as of july 2023, that are over 3 and a half 1000 dies as an in depth, which is the rise of 24 percent in the last 4 years on wireless species continues to be endangered, and sizes are on the brink of extinction, w w f says that there has been an uptick and these numbers, and definitely we're seeing a positive trend in india, especially in its center, most states of monday for these it's 6 o'clock in the morning in the bench diagnoses of in my paper these, the big guides are out there some of that here in this on themed wilderness nice and the area is anita conservationist. no one knows the tigers as well as he
3:32 pm
does. he immediately sparts the tracks. the tend to be close to streams and fonts. so tight goes uh, water babies you said lindsay, them far away from the waters and so they are really the indicator of the has the photos. if the photos is degraded, you will not have any other water bodies in the streams with dry out. and therefore, you won't have a heightened so deeply and therefore you don't have that goes a large part of the tigris habit that has been lost due to human activity. 3 quarters of the was white tigers, still live in india, but the population has drastically decreased from more than 50000 in the 19th century to less than 300 in the 1970s. that's when the government stepped in and launched project diag uh, setting up protected areas mostly the core followed by go to those out
3:33 pm
either sanctuary. the national fox. so by law you've gone to have human disturbance there. the in the initial stages, people were just lifted in mode. and at that point, you know, there was violation in human rights and all that. and that's early in the seventy's and eighty's. things look very different today. the indigenous communities can remain in the forest, where the ancestors once lived, and they play an important role in diag good ones. the recent efforts should fall and what the belongs to the going to drive and lives in a village. and that is a, he's been working for the, for the street authority since 2006 and owned around 12000 rupees a month. the equivalent of around $130.00 utilized his job is to federal the died area and educate locals about tigers and then have with that gone with. and i'm not
3:34 pm
so much to go until i got to take them to be to me while i'm in the past, the villages didn't know any better and put up electric fences to keep out somebody or other animals. but then bikers would get trapped in them. that were bad accidentally, sometimes they would even put traps out of boys on the water bodies and not even 100 that i guess because of that. but since i've been working here that have been fueled incidents and i'm in the jungle every day. and i've seen tiger numbers go up or i mean it needed them to remember the thing and i said, look, take it. i got a bonded by the local communities have always been dependent on the forest and what was in it, binding them from it would mean cutting them off from their livelihood. in the 1990 the ministry of environment, forest and climate change and monday for these set up so called equal development committees or ease the goal was to integrate glucose into wildlife conservation projects, which would also help supply them with an income,
3:35 pm
a sin based i that is oh, i have a 100 for the seas and well they weren't, they were to the new region rate in the ear. one 3rd goes to these communities. they also been employed in most of the activities which we can go inside. so some of them i'd like to know by monday and we'll go with us. and many of them, huge number of them. do this, casually. wildlife door has them in my different these makes us significant contribution to the economy, shunt the buy has benefited from it. scrolled with the help of funding from the forest department. she set up a small can team many little clothes. we used to fear the tigers. now feel grateful to them of how to solve it. every a we get diagnosed an offering of chicken and coconuts we worship them and we keep a rock as a single and worship it for the bossy. the tiger is
3:36 pm
a gold and now they even provide us with livelihood. is it one for people coming here from all over the world to see them? we wouldn't have an income, a lot of them. but as i tell you, the forestry officers are out on federal v d tracking that i go through the use by life cameras to the card and document the movements again and again. they observe that drugs a huge problem, slicing directly to the animals hybrid that we have seen the females that lived on the other side. seldom ever moved on this side. meals would cross once in a while, but largely these populations were segregated. so this is how animals the, the color does get segmented in ones fragmentation happens that it impeding on both sides. plus it can be, it can escalate conflict because if animal movement stops in $11.00 site and any of the pretty population on the other side was down because there is no movement. then
3:37 pm
that goes with go inside hunting. got to that would increase conflict underpasses like these protect the animals natural roots that are 23 of them in my deposition alone. and the ad urgently needed bought it at a total of india's most important diag. good. quite a doors run through the state. but the conservation efforts benefit other species to as it's not that that goes, i'm more important than the birds or the monkeys, or don't like what tigers become of be what around which oh look on. vision efforts can be focus. so if you want to protect them, you really have to protect lodge areas, root and pull water, and fuel that automatically you wouldn't be able to protect so many different species. project di, good was founded in my different these 50 years ago times to it's hardwell died. good numbers have recovered. there are now over 2000 of them in india.
3:38 pm
it's not just animals as the salt loans to are very valuable, but what can we put the price on? let's say what the tree is. well for us, what it does out we can and it's a pretty big number 2. yet another reason for us to cms of nature, because now it makes business sense as well. let's have to watch the part of it will help us evaluate the price of need to imagine a world where we saw on nature for what it's worth. while we would recognize the life around us for more than just its beauty. because almost half of the world's economy, $44.00 trillion dollars depends on natural services like pollinating, capturing carbon and purifying water. these are all valuable to our economy, but they aren't valued in our economy. nature like this is being left out of the
3:39 pm
equation. it is easy to tell when the living thing is valuable. like with this tree, it's actually huge. it's old and gorgeous. and since the one of berlin's most beloved part, but it's hard to translate that into a price. how much do you think this tree should be worth? money? no idea, no price, it shouldn't cause anything. it's a trade separate case. 7, definitely separate. most people have no idea how valuable living trees and why should that nature usually doesn't have a price until it's dead. this is often a huge problem. let's say you're logging company wants to come in and cut down these trees for timber. we know super well how much these trees cost once they're caught. so we have 200 oak trees worth of timber on one side and basically huge question mark on the other. we don't know the cost of chopping down a forest or how much value we've lost. that's because there's so much it play, forrester, unbelievably complex eco systems. one way to estimate the trees value is to add up
3:40 pm
. what good it does for the environment is websites in the us does just that we need to put in the diameter of the trunk where it's located and what kind of tree it is. ready if i don't know what kind of trade is, the value is calculated based on how much carbon dioxide the tree captures coming. ok, how much storm water runoff it stops or you condition? okay, it looks pretty excellent as well as how many pollutants like ozone and carbon monoxide, you remove from the air. now we got to measure, i feel super weird doing this. it's estimating so estimating this tree, this here is where the $109.00 over the next 20 years. it's worth $2207.00. don't seem like that much for such a beautiful tree. the values are really conservative, though, because they're based on things like carbon pricing, wastewater treatment, pricing, and improved human health outcomes. so $200.00 log trees would mean $454000.00 in ecosystem services lost over the next 20 years. a lot of the cheese value isn't it
3:41 pm
included in the calculation? so it isn't perfect, but it does put nature into the equation and it applies far beyond logging. green economist like ralph shami, think pricing natures absolutely necessary in the fight against the climate change . it's not enough to sing songs about the way it's in the gold has a st. come by. uh and right one more pull him about the way you let a team at the international monetary fund to the 1st to put a price tag on a blue. well, with a guy, and if you spoke to a way to say, hey ralph, to stop crying about me, leave me alone. go in peace ma'am. and by the way, you owe me money because i'm saving you, but i am f team value blue. well, a $2000000.00 visa and its activities and the ocean that capture carbon well swoop at the surface. and well, who contains exactly what fido clinton need to grow? fido clinton in turn produce at least half the world's oxygen. noel's no fido plankton, no oxygen waterway to repay the wells, and the other nature is using that price tied to know the benefit of conserving
3:42 pm
them. this is already happening in the form of carbon credits that individual their companies can buy to protect an area. here's how it often goes. let's say an island wants to profit from protecting it, see grass. someone's like ralph shami goes there and calculates a value from c grass. similarly to how i calculated a value for that tree based on that value, a government or company sets up a carbon scheme through which those looking to offset their emissions can pay to conserve the sea. grass and valuations are starting to include more aspects and just carbon in the future. we could also see credits based on how much bio diversity to see grass supports putting a price type on nature can also help under serve communities. it's estimated that indigenous communities manage nearly $1000000000.00 half pairs of land globally and nearly 80 percent of the worlds about diversity that living nature and intact about diversity are worth money that's ignored in the global economy. the people who conserve them are working for free. one way to change that is to payment for
3:43 pm
ecosystem services. we are beeping and some of the most probably be stricken. and we should then remind decisive that we should be left alone believe that way, because that's also not fair. many to go on is how can i igor, of people indigenous to the philippines? she's working on ways to make carbon markets more equitable. many community sites struggling and they need an update at the source of income instead of paying the carbon offset to a company or government payments are made to local communities, preserving their local eco systems. so hold on. this all sounds pretty good, but there's one huge thing we haven't talked about the idea. a putting a monetary value on a tree is just weird. do you think we should put a price tag on nature? no, no, no, absolutely not. it's habitable. have to. there's an ethical dilemma for communities to say that we will get money. barry benefits from funding for us. so when we have always looked at the forest at some beeping equity step, how do you put the value,
3:44 pm
for instance, on the fact that these forests are the resting ground? so if i were, i'd say stories that definitely wouldn't make it into a price tag. in fact, most of the price tag is based on the price of carbon. so all the benefits from valuing nature basically rely on global carbon markets. this website take scientific data from this tree and multiply that by the price of carbon to determine the value, the websites from the u. s, where the price of carbon is cheaper. if the website were from the u, this tree would actually be more expensive. this is one mass to hole in carbon pricing. it can be different everywhere and changes over time. carbon markets also make it easy for companies to continue business as usual. selling carbon can also reinforce inequalities in order to put a price on a protected area. remember that someone like rout shami usually comes in to do the evaluation. this can be a problem. flat owners or incentive bias to plan to not need it 5 species instead of indigenous species because it creates
3:45 pm
a new type of landscape that could back carbon faster, june robust research as nature conservation from an indigenous perspective. critics that use terms like carbon colonialism to describe this new wave of capture enclosure meach it by capital indigenous in local communities can end up being told how to manage their own land. and often benefits go to governments where the companies with just a small percentage reaching the actual communities. and so one thing that's never going to go away is the discomfort and wrongness of putting a monetary value on. something is majestic, is this tree, or a blue whale? for now, many decision makers only speaking the language of money, not majestic nests, until that changes valuing nature could make it more visible to them. so, should you put a price on nature? in many places we already have, but just how it depends on the circumstance. when we know the value of living nature, it's easier to protect it. and if it's destroyed, finds a way easier to calculate why it comes to carbon credits or paying people for
3:46 pm
taking care of eco systems. we need to carefully examine who's doing the evaluation and where the money ends up. because in the end, we're still relying on market mechanisms which are exactly what got us into this mess in the 1st place. interesting to for, to upper ice on data. speaking of prize is one of the most expensive and ras spices that the nature gives us a section that was a dye, one. suffering was what its weight in gold in the picture that squarely is of crushing me read it scars off on the spotless lot. was with that ted, and this is between that is what knock that he's at. but now things are changing for the worse, a vibrating pebble as far as the i can see. we're right near the palm pool. no, no, live with the world as the south from town of kashmir around so it 2000 families
3:47 pm
here and then living by growing stuff from crocuses, a tradition often coming back generations, photos, estimates, family is no exception. when the crocuses, a harvested in the full, his young daughter helps, and just like he used to help his parents. but for all of his worried about the future of stuff from now he is case. so if we check in for football 100-200-2241 can all of that you will get to one d, g of this a. but if you check, no it is. you will get all the one digit for the 15 and i'm in 15 cannot as upland . so you can expect the home, which it has been declined. what are the us so a lot more land is needed to produce the same amount of stuff from the indian institute of integrative medicine instrument ago. the development is also raising consent reset to a national. and ashcroft is working to safeguard the future of sun from in kashmir
3:48 pm
here in this mountain this territory. the spice is not only a cultural us, it is also an important source of income. so since last 13 years i've been working on different aspects of south run biology and the feedback received from farming community was that there are 3 major reasons for declining south front uh, production. one is on developing the deals quality, planting materials. second is called broad disease and todd lack of integration facility mold. in 10 years ago, she created a large gene database detailing over 60000 sequences of stuff wrong carcasses. the aim is to develop a plant that can withstand the new conditions created by climate change. we have identified the genes, we are in the process off for a little um and coming up with improved, smart cetera,
3:49 pm
turned it into drought and many other, if i pick stresses and call it in to conduct as india is the world's 2nd largest from producer of to run, it takes skill to remove the statements of the flower that all the precious red spice. so just one key low of po, son from. you need between 20300000 coke as low as. that's why the spice is so expensive. around 2000 euros akilah. no shame on us of, of is visiting the army caught log region of nose and cost me by the code because to base here in the field will cultivated by her team and the bar a tree to help them with done climate change. the plans should now be able to go well was known periods of drought and sudden heavy rain, and they should be resistant to the notorious comb route to meet gross after unsuccessfully in all the 10 districts. but at this time,
3:50 pm
the thought may extend expend ada. we'll collect levels from head and then we will do quality analysis. and now we're doing the analysis division so that we see if the compounds of it's this afternoon is the 15 are present in equal amounts. insight from grown hit no sub for own has grown up here for a long time. but the new climate resistant bulbs probably things. the recent heavy rainfall has not affected the plants and they also remain disease free . it says the price, even for the work is on the test field, not yours. that's where do we never imagined this crop would be so successful in this area. and this has been a successful trial. the blossoms are excellent as well. who loves the long beach upper level, the crept, provides better economic returns for farmers and other crops, which is why nearby farmers are also coming here to express interest in cultivating
3:51 pm
the crop kid. i've talked to why do you know about you do the best way to go? it's encouraging news for nashua, national have more test fields that you to be added in the next season. and this is the generally a traditional crop of crush me in value. so we don't have to lose the screw up, we have to do every bit offer over a foot to preserve this growth. in 2019 india produced 22 tons of stuff from only a fraction of that. when to export, that amount could increase significantly if so, from crocuses throughout the region can be made more resilient. so most people here that would be a dream country. i mean, they could soon increase the earnings as we've been seeing in the story so far. one of the biggest ways to help me to us is to end or you will not deal with these that destroy out in wildwood. and of course,
3:52 pm
a lot of the biggest problems that man has created is trash. i'm. we need to find the audience ways to stop this problem completely. and so let's head to the bank. so if somebody londo to explore one such approach, actually did i say a bang? i mean trash bags of the, the dirt on the street always infuriated my lot of a me too. and her daughter in law a judge of anita jeep. they thought that people might not throw the garbage on the street if they could get money for it instead. and that's how the idea of where the garbage bank was born. the couldn't to 3 us in 3 years. we separated and recycled nearly 150000 kilo's of garbage before it got taken to the dump and got infinity. did that and put a chip recycling fund that looked at that the women pay 6 bees. that's 7 euro cents
3:53 pm
per kilo, of least they buy plastic bags, paper, cardboard, clothing, all materials that they are. recycling partners can process lead to the customers don't even have to drop their visa off at the garbage bang themselves. the projects eat employees, collect the separated reese from some $700.00 housing was invalid to another $91.00 along the initially we didn't separate the garbage and it little dodge speeds would be followed the projects advice and started handing in garbage. now we separate people, plastic cardboard boxes, and our garbage is collected every friday one. so 5 you've handed in 242. notice i bought the receipt and once a $3.00 to $300.00 close, with an extra amount, i repeat $3000.00 rupees. look at this bundle that's the lead from the 2 onto promoters have divided voided, integrated into 6 collections owens. once the east has been picked up from customers across the downs and dig into the garbage bank, it's properly sorted with plastic paper cotton
3:54 pm
boxes make a box from separating garbage into plastics, papers, cardboard boxes and metals. the garbage band also separates 66 other types of ways to take a juice back it as an example. reset, put it into outside, drop off the inside ali, renew, floyd, and this cool, you cycle us be a good money for separated garbage. and that means we can make our customers happy by giving them better value for the garbage. the plans that the garbage for the god res bank has already paid out over $200000.00 rubies for trash, its founders whole bill inspire similar projects. look what they know, nothing. yeah. so you know, the boat should step up and do this sort of thing if my mother in law and i could do it in this small area, are those who, buddy about god, basically the thing, the streets can also do something about it. the garbage bank should be an example.
3:55 pm
that's what we hope to are more likely to come to venus solely on the beast. recycling can be a profitable business, not only does the gas for trash more just heads protect the environment. it also contributes to a circular economy. today is episode has with a johnny across india from the bank was the i go to the community stuff in until the very important that it's not as particularly easy trash binds off some of the law that you would like me to have that out any as far as being made to hopefully to a new all part of the was that you think we should know about. you can e mail us already talked to me directly on my social media. i will see you next week until then take care goodbye. unless gosh, the
