9:30 am
to show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for the, let's say boss without it. if not from the goodness of our hearts and our foresight in 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 planners and our own. well being is more direct them meet then to be nice. the i p c. c has also said the c. so in today is episode. let's explore more ways
9:31 am
of helping the nature and on helping ourselves. the magnificence roy's been going taiga is the national animal of india and as of july 2020 feet 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 on size. 8 are on the brink of extinction, w w. f says that there has been an uptick in 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 diag. good is 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 an,
9:32 am
as he does on the immediately sports the tracks. they tend to be close to streams and phones to diagnose uh, water babies. you said it doesn't see them far away from that in 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 tiger's 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
9:33 am
either sanctuary, the national fox. so by law you going to have human disturbance there in the initial stages. people were just lifted in more 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 conservation efforts. she 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, a told a d since 2006, and owns 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
9:34 am
a zombie within or not so much to go until i got to tell 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 vegas would get trapped in them that were bad accident. sometimes they would even put traps out of boys on the water bodies, not even 100 that i guess to go to the but since i've been working here that have been fewer incidents and i'm like, i'm in the jungle every day. and i've seen by good numbers go up or be needed. i'm to remember the thing and i select ticket that i got along the way to the local communities have always being dependent on the forest and what, closing 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 e d c's. the goal was to integrate glucose into wildlife conservation projects, which would also help supply them with an income
9:35 am
based eyes that is, oh, i have a 100 per, the sees and what they work there with 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 if i'm 100 will go with us. and many of them, huge number of them. do this casually wildlife door to them in my different these makes us significant contribution to the economy shot the buy has benefited from its good old with the help of funding from the forest department, she set up a small guaranteed many low 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 symbol and worship it for the bossy. the tiger is
9:36 am
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 every d tracking that i go through the use by life cameras to the card and document the movements again and again. they observe that towards 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. males would cross once in a while, but largely these populations with aggregate. so this is how animals, though, the car does get fragmented, and once fragmentation happens, that have a meeting on both sides. plus it can be, it can escalate conflict. because if animal movement stops in 11 site and any of the pretty population on the other side was down because there is no moment,
9:37 am
then that goes, we're going to start uh, hunting. got to that really increase conflict? underpasses like these protect the animals natural roots, there are $22.00 of them in what they produce alone and the ad urgently needed bought it at a total india as most important. diag good. quite a doors run through the speed, but the conservation efforts benefit other species to, as it's not that that goes on more important than the birds or the monkeys, or don't like. but tigers become a be would out on which all look on lucian efforts can be focus. so if you want to protect them, you really have to protect large areas ripped and full of water. and if you do that automatically you will be able to protect. so many different species project i good was founded in my different these 50 years ago, pads to it's hardware. tiger numbers have recovered. there are now over 2000 of
9:38 am
them in india. it's not just the animals as the so long story are very valuable, but what can we put a price on? let's say what the tree is? well, for us, what stands 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 head to our reporter who would help us evaluate the price of me to imagine a world where we saw 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
9:39 am
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? much money? no idea, no price, it's in cost. anything. it's a separate case. several, definitely. several. most people have no idea how valuable living tree is, and why should the 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 of plaque forrester, unbelievably complex eco systems. one way to estimated trees value is to add up
9:40 am
what good it does for the environment. this website's 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, even though it's in 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
9:41 am
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 the di 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 valued, a blue. well, a $2000000.00 visa and it's activities in the ocean that capture carbon well scoop 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 their price tied to know the benefit of conserving
9:42 am
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 awesome goes. let's say an island wants to profit from protecting it. c 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 admissions can pay to conserve the seat. 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 underserved 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
9:43 am
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, eagle, right, people indigenous to the philippines. she's working on ways to make carbon markets more equitable, many community sites targeting, 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,
9:44 am
for instance, on the fact that this forest are the resting ground. so if i were upset 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 are in 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 whole 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 ralph shami usually comes in to do the evaluation. this can be a problem that owners are incentivized to plan to not need a 5 species instead of indigenous species because it creates
9:45 am
a new type of landscape that could back carbon faster. june robust research has major conservation from an indigenous perspective. critics that use terms like carbon colonialism to describe this new wave of capture enclosure, meet you at a bi 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 themselves. 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 when it comes to carbon credits are paying people for
9:46 am
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 worth its weight in gold. in the picture that squarely use of crushing me read it. score is all strong. these pop with law was with that 10, and this is between that is what knock that he's at. but now things are changing for the worse, a vibrant purple as far as the i can see, we're right, made a pump pool. no, no, live with the wells as the software on tone of kashmir. around so 2000 families
9:47 am
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 him just like he used to help his parents. but for all of these worried about the future of stuff from now he is case. so if we check in both triple 100-200-2241 can all of that do to get to one d, g of this a. but if you check, no it is. do you really get the only one? did you for the 15 and i'm in 15 cannot as overland so you can expect a home which it has been declined. what are they are? so a lot more land is needed to produce the same amount of stuff from the indian institute of integrative medicine and through the go. the development is also raising consent reset to nashua. and ashcroft is working to safeguard the future of sun from in
9:48 am
kashmir. here in this mountain, this territory, the spice is not only a quote from us, it is also an important source of income. so since last 13 years, i've been working on different aspects of south round biology. and the feedback received from farming community was that there are 3 major reasons for declining south from production. one is on the availability of quality planting materials. second is form drug disease and todd lack of irrigation facility mold. in 10 years ago, she created a large gene database, detailing over 60000 sequences of stuff from carcases. the a miss to develop a plant that can withstand the new conditions created by climate change. we have identified the genes we are in the process of forego um and coming up with improved
9:49 am
smocks out front, turned it into drought and many other if i pick stresses and draws it in to calm dropped as been india is the world's 2nd largest stuff from producer of to run, it takes skill to remove the statements of the flower that all the precious red spice. for just one kilo of po, son from you need between 20300000 crocus flowers. that's why the spice is so expensive, around 2000 euros akilah. no shame on us of, of is visiting the yahoo caught a log region of nose and cush me by the code because to base here in the field will cultivated by her team and the board 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 district. but at this time,
9:50 am
the thought extend expense, the bill collects 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, if it's, if that phone is doing 5 or presenting equal amounts, insight from don't yet know, suffer own has grown up here for a long time. but the new climate resistant bulbs, a thriving, 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 what we 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. busy very tough pull over the crowd, provides better economic returns for farmers and other crops, which is why nearby farmers are also coming here to express interest in cultivating
9:51 am
the crop. okay, good luck to. why do you go by? you do the best way to go? it's encouraging news for nashua and i shall have more test fields that you to be added in the next season. and this is the legendary a traditional crop of crush me in the valley. so we don't have to lose the scrub. we have to do every bit, all 4 of our efforts to preserve this growth in 2019 india produced 22 tons of stuff from only a fraction of that. when for 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 when activities that destroy out in language. and of course,
9:52 am
a lot of the biggest problems that 9 has created is stress. and we need to find the audience ways to stop this problem completely. and so let's head to the bank. so somebody londo to explore one such approach. actually did i say a bang? i mean trash bags of the litter on the street. always infuriated malott very much and her daughter in law, a gradual lead edge of the 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 for the garbage bank was gone. either way to come to 3 us in 3 years, we separated and recycle nearly 150000 kilo's of garbage before it got taken to the dump and got infinity. did that and put it to the site thing. so i looked at that the women basics are bes, that's 7 you to cents. per kilo, of least they buy
9:53 am
a plastic bags, paper, cardboard, clothing, all the materials that they are recycling partners can process lead to. the customers don't even have to drop that based off at the garbage bang. them says the projects eat employees, collect the separated reese from some 700 housing was invaded into the the initially we didn't separate our garbage and it literally died speeds. but we followed the projects advice and started handing in our garbage. now we separated people, plastics, cardboard boxes, and our garbage is collected every friday, one. so 5, you've handed in 242. notice i got the receipt. and once a $3.00 to $300.00 close, with an extra amount i, b, b, $3000.00 group. we look at the front row. that's the lead from the 2 onto promoters have divided with integrated into 6 collections owens. once the visa has been picked up from customers across the down and taken to the garbage bank, it's properly sorted with plastic bait. but cotton
9:54 am
boxes make a bought from separating garbage into plastics. papers, cardboard boxes and metals. the garbage bank also separates 66 other types of ways to take a juice back it as an example, reset to read it into outside drop off the inside ali renew, floyd, and the cool recycler spe, good money for separated garbage. and that means we can make our customers happy by giving them better value for the garbage to the client. that cannot love it. they've been always to god, but the god res bank has already paid out over $200000.00 rubies for trash. it's founders hope bill inspires similar project airport. they know nothing. 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 during the streets can also do something about it. the garbage bank
9:55 am
should be an example. that's what we hope to are more likely you're going to be necessarily on us that these recycling can be a profitable business. not only does the cash for trash more just heads protect the environment. it also contributes to a circular economy. today is episode has with the journey across india from the bank was i go to the community stuff in and with a very important if not as, as particularly pleasing trash bags of some of the law that you would like me to weigh that out any as far as being made to help me to a new all part of the was that you'll think we should know about. you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media. i will see you next week until then take care. good bye. now let's gosh, of the,
