here we really understand that so easily file uh, we will lose our concepts, euro my done jobs february 17th on t, w. the last things in life on 12 minutes. then why try to resolve them or hold onto them? hello and welcome. i'm sorry because the body and you'll watching so many aspects of life, nature and austin, rounding with our loss. and maybe even the generation oft, it us like this ancient but nature is precious and it is less present where all the boxes that i saw growing up. i remember watching hundreds of them as

they slipped out of the roof, sky, human activities, and habitat last are a few among the many incidents that birds face to which have also led to a decline in the numbers. a young man from india's desolate stage overall, just con is working with an organization to get these bugs back into the sky. the colorful guides are aggravated and dry. just con in january. millions of people fly them to celebrate mockers. sun cannot be the hindu festival. that mocks, the start of the holiday season. water is beautiful to look at though. can be very dangerous for books. that's when we bring that up, but i at the steps in front of rescue mission a load i'd be happy positive. that bird is with you right to take it home, loading the color we had on the 20, the boarding, the 23. it old is working the direction and organization in chapel that specializes

in the rescue and rehabilitation of injured boards and the wildlife. how's it going? we have received a boat, a few call from months or what about 5 kilometers from here. they said that a bird collapse in the night and it is not able to fly during the winter months when thousands of my victory boards flock here hoping to find himself responding to many more calls. he has been working as a rescue volunteer for 7 years and is experienced in dealing with literally patients like this one. go, by the way, did it come here? from yesterday? it's a region that has a deep got in its wing. and what am i going to do it by your mind to? chinese mondo is used to fly menu of the guides here. it's a string that's quartered without a gloss, despite the band it to use for assist evidence like so. she's awesome and gone to

the incidents of boarding duties involving guide strings. yes, i gave you what a lot of total and the and then the house in that it was a tide. you know, i don't this region and um, it was full thrown full of that. you can see the, the, the, what it on this i have to come to visit and i dumped this in the study and i've got some fluids for the basic and see what the morning. so thanks to the new game the morning and the thank you. during the 4 days of the more custom cannot be card sign festival, the board rescue was to deceive between 700 to 800 calls. well being that it has been trained to deal with birds, homes by glass quoted guide strings. i stabbed them. i them, would you be as good as when i joined ios dog, how to handle a bug or if i blow it is what i can do. we can fix that. the only thing that i'm the lock will because it's in pain with the land doesn't understand what's going on

. i get what we need to colored flies. we use those to whole day. but what's up with all this is also thought to new learn to use hands to join the check the them to got the shares of the, the new while ended up there. despite the board, rescuers efforts, not every board injured by guide. strings can be saved. the animal rights groups b dot india says this type of string means and kills pauses of birds and will lead the kite string their minds and now is so strong that even a adult thoughts are flying in. so it would just wouldn't break. and then that will cause these horrible traumatic injuries. i believe there's some research being done . and so what time is the dies last slide it goes back to being just that because roger's don is a massive a pathway for migratory baths. like saying huge numbers in to say, i would just ask people to consider the knock on effect to flying kites. and this time of the and it was witnessing such a hot breaking incident that inspired draw help us to establish the board,

rescue and do back in 2003. we are not available for the course and i was writing on my opinion on the board, which fell right in front of me. and i couldn't help the board and the board died. so that the time i started feeling like i think the board will, you know, come back to life, but it didn't. so i was really upset and i thought something has to be done for this. this is what i taught. and by next year, we started that school work the boards and not only access to building the site festival city goal to is also putting even populations under pressure. the expansion of the concrete jungle is encroaching upon natural habitats, leaving boards with limited space for nesting and feeding. our leasing to port on the state of india as boards found around 60 percent of species out in decline. the trend is concerning because birds play a vital role in particularly cities,

we have had project loss on areas are being developed. houses are being constructed, big buildings are being cause, be constructed. and of our development, the practice of such that they're actually driving the birds of a they have very little bit very helpful in cross 188 and uh uh they help us and controlling the populations of the insects on so best song. so there are many birds, for example, locusts. if you look at the low cost of the low cost school, right, the dentist derek the entire fields. because of the fields. if you have birds there, the feed on low cost. the damage caused by the lo locust be contorted by the birds also structure, save it, save more than $13000.00 birds dislike. at any hospital. the theme forest assess is

the patient's bones and determines whether surgery is necessary. once recovered, the birds are set free again on the lease check. so generally it's under the lease yet, so we generally check more tied. the board is lying. is it able to budge? it's going it's search exhibiting. it's naturally via because this bird of prey has already covered well and is now ready to leave it up. shots shut up. it's always a moving moment for the board. rescue was to see one of their patients spread its wings, antique to the skies again, the around a quarter of the water soil is degraded. among other things, this means that it's lax critically new to you and so that we need to go off, which one of these nutrients is fox sports, a chemical elements that the was, is running out of. so how do we replenish it?

was the answer lies in our new rigs that you had. that's right. find out, feel, says a center phones, dna and seats 8000000000 people. phosphorus, it's an essential element that sustains all life on earth. it's also in your p more than that later. the vast majority of it goes to making fertilizer. why? because without it, we wouldn't be able to grow no food. the problem is that there's a finite amount and roughly 70 percent of it comes from one place. the bigger problem is that we're wasting most of authority there. every individual is just throwing away it left the bread every day. for countries like india, which is 90 percent dependent on imports, the dwindling access could be alarming. plus, phosphorus is also causing some massive algy issues. but if the world's food security depends on it, what can we do about the potential shortage but alternatives to we have and cut our own p. save us thanks to a german scientist boiling hundreds of gallons of urine in 1669,

we found phosphorus, the 15th element, and the periodic table found out he was trying to find out how to make or anyway, what is phosphorus? all organisms need fastpitch to 10 essential nutrients and an essential component of life. this is barbara k manager. she's a renown, so assigned to space and scott, you on canada. it's part of our team. hey, it's part of our a salvas contained class. let beds. it's part of our, our and i today roughly 80 percent of the world's phosphorus is use for agriculture because that's a structural component of cells. it's essential for cell division implant development. without enough of it plants or stunted and don't yield as much, we've been increasingly using these chemical fertilizers on farms since the post world to period. together with crap engineering, it's spread the green revolution. the sun, massive increases in crop yields, especially in the global south, and places like india, n 1960

a less than production was like, yeah, it will be the medium dens nasty or what would be the next. the production would step through $215.00 in 2 days and i'd like to share yeah. as a scientist at the engine institute as swale science. i definitely give this, could i be proof like laser applications because before it was there was no knowledge about that. worldwide, fertilizer use increase 6 times from 1950 to 2000. so where do we get all of it from? so to answer that question, we 1st need to show you the world, the longest conveyor belt system, which can be seen from space. it's transporting the raw material phosphate rock from the blue cross line across the western sahara desert. roughly 70 percent of the growth reserves are in the western sahara, heavily disputed territory currently controlled by morocco, which the un size has been unlawfully occupied. the area of rubble army has been fighting for its independence. the largest reserves are spread across north africa,

followed by china, brazil, south africa, and saudi arabia. the scarcity mix price is extremely volatile during the global financial crisis in 2008 shortage and phosphorus, fertilizer shop prices up, 500 percent, and field riots in places like india, kenya, edge area, unpackaged on fussy rock is a non renewable resource, and we can substitute it integrates for getting some, some scientists of one that we're approaching peak phosphorus, a barbara seems to think otherwise. iris child seventies. i remember he carlisle and yet have we actually reached the cloud with as a crisis now because it becomes economically feasible to find alternatives. in fact, less than 20 percent of the phosphorus used in agriculture actually ends up in the food beat. that's partly because the phosphate fertilizer is notoriously inefficient. it binds easily with other minerals and the soil which makes it unavailable for a plant. when they get 950 or fos for this, the apply to this,

it was do get don't, they didn't get just from what people do yet us to work and body. but maybe 80 percent of that would be best if you didn't inside. that's why the industry solution is to check more on to the soil. faster, suppress relatively cheap, adding a bit as good as a marble guarantee profits. this accumulative, fos for us is called the legacy phosphate. how much phosphorus is lost in the, sorry, i'll also depends on the c o p h to set up. so i can work climates and it will bind to iron and aluminum to alkaline. it'll react with calcium. but this has consequences. the uses chemical fertilizers, increases the run off of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus into bodies of water. if it's huge, if occasion, which kills of oxygen, it also causes mass of alco bloom's, which can be toxic and produced 1st warming nothing when they die. contaminated water is lagging through southwest providers, shores and francisco bay area is experiencing a toxic eligible and it's not just the waste from agriculture at this rampant fos

versus everywhere in our food or tap water. and so if we consume a lot of it, then that means it's essentially what's coming out is the same. this is janice, done. i call she's the research or the swedish university of agricultural sciences and also started a company that turns urine and feces into fertilizer. one out of 10 people are like that in the amount of nutrients that are in your end as enough to grow as 500 grams of weight. so basically it means you're, you're and you can be grow. you can be producing a loaf of bread every day. she and her colleagues designed a system that essentially boils down her ex grid and retains its nutrients towel with the urine diverting toilet these toilets can get expensive and it leaves the problem at the individual consumer agenda. so she's been approached by building companies interested in installing them in new houses. and her company already has

a partnership with speeders, public toilet frontal firms. if we were to breed circulate of our year end and we could actually replaced 8 percent of the global demand of foster. unfortunately, household p is just a small fraction involved in nutritious waste on earth. there's also phosphorus and sludge and industrial wastewater. not to mention the newer from livestock and dairy farming, one of the most scalable solutions is to figure out how to get all of it out and reuse it right now, so it's treatment plans to get the water cleaner. get it. we're not looking at it as extracting we as are serenity is mining resources, but why not the industry? so figuring out how to improve existing technologies to make large scale removal economically viable. there's also been advancements and methods of extracting phosphorus from animal manure. there's no shark technologies, it's just right now,

it's still more cost effective to ship products. but it is to try to get it from all these other sources. we can also start earlier in the process and health plants absorb more phosphorus. recent research has shown that certain types of fund guy induct syria could be used in the future to improve crappy old and soil health in find j. did these other estimates group of funds a data like very good uh, fox sort of categories and it can extend that high cm scab inch of 1st. what else from the 5th, i'm just an old scientist. are still researching how these microbes could be used for large scale farming. however, transitioning to such organic agriculture takes time and could result in your bosses. risk. farmers are hesitant to take or the legislation could help move the market along. the you recently legalize the scale of phosphorus recovered from slide as fertilizer, and is working on laws that will require more of us for us to be removed from wastewater. space is actually quite easy to recycle. the government of the 2nd says

you have to recycle 15 percent of the costs 1st. that's been your wastewater. and then innovations finally have a chance to come to light and start the implement. frankly, the cost of it is going to drive a lot of innovation when it was chief thought value that's i add up to best a kept at that. maybe i'm to stop mr. content, all but space type stuff. i technician that fits back, talking about it, and maybe it will trigger the p revolution dump. the odds are not just a problem, wiley exist, but they continue. it'll be a problem even yours after they're gone, broke 6 substances leach into the ground. i'm almost completely destroyed, but there is a group of women in the southern individual summit logo. we're not just cleaning off these dump yards, but also reclaiming the land, anton, and get to into something beautiful. until a few years ago,

this was just about who wasteland. now it's a beautiful garden. we are in a residential area impede, i'm either on the eastern edge of gwen but dude in southern india. the garden was created by 30 moving, moving, come on. she moved to the area so that her daughter is good study here. to find the balance of the money and i got in these places exactly opposite to my house. it was just used as a dump yard just uh, when i asked people about it. and they said it had been like this for 36 or 37 years ago because they even found it quite scary to walk the boss this blog to a lot of the good by him. i don't want you to call the thing that i'm, i don't want us on. the one who most inspired hood address the problem was her mental c r. so i mean not to the former c e o of quinn, but it was b as g college. he supported her idea right from the start but

i within order, but within 20 days he passed away to stand his word village and me to change this place seemed to my determination and all that i know. and the general, her 1st step was to do some research. it soon became clear that the land was a circle reservation owned by the state. such it is often live raised and quickly become a dumping ground. duncan, i wonder if people start dumping garbage some that it's hard to stop them so many what against me. okay. and did randomly. yeah, let me go to ira's valve beaten long. they were just waiting for me to face, but i took it as a child in technical to challenging out on the a. danny moody moving komatt phased a lot of that data before she could get permission to redesign but area. after that, it took just a few months to transform the wasteland into a garden and her neighbors love it. the less i think i'm the one plus about the garden is that the flowers have drag different but ideas

off butterflies on the good maybe. but also there are 6, that's the end of it. so the kid slow coming here, they call it the duck box. this box stands out as everything is integrated here because of the matter. it's entirely different from other children's boxes of a tube in spots and either on the model autumn initially, before you go to see what displace would become either block or whatever. okay, let me run it to name is henry is determination and hardware cuz changed it into a beautiful garden and then the one of my kids come to put on. yeah. there are many on use reserve areas including but do that belong to the state that embody move and come on has now been commissioned to turn them into box to any other than sites in the modem. any residential areas including but don't have fox that are not been deemed people in those areas who didn't read for cooperation. so in jews or even some strangers to take action, the residents to join forces and change the place that would benefit that entire.

so don't do a lot of the, let me use logical ones then embody moving composite daughters have finished the studies she, most of it again, her hope is that local residues will then continue to maintain the garden from a garbage dump. let's head to one of the most scenic cities in the was, which has been celebrated in hollywood bollywood and was sent them off for decades . the romantic city of wenus, but as the world heats, unless she has met the future of this city, seems shaky. more and more of the city is sinking, each bossing the and it is becoming a big challenge to keep the city afloat. venice has fascinated the world for over 1600 years and for just as long people have been scared of floods or worried that the city could sink into the sea. this is the latest attempt to protect venice. 78 metal barriers that can be raised to separate the sea from the

laguna. the system is called most single triple symbol. if we hadn't had mos, the dentist would have been irreparably destroyed. on november 22nd of 2022. it was the 2nd highest flood in history, but nothing happened. we were able to protect the lagoon and venice of del, provide long ebony, so the elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times, less to compare, search, see, and she's having to do with increasingly frequently. so the janetta 40 the okay for you to get more. we now know that most it is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened and nor at the same time, sec, danville san today we know much more about black than wind. so we're in a position to act again for flooding that out within 50 has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea. the

goons. very easy to go for the amount of them. does that mean venice can be saved? climate experts predict that the sea level could rise by 60 centimeters by the end of the century. the oceanographer gate arc when the keys and says that most it is just buying time right? the most house and his moves enough to see fence game, a man. yes, at the moment seen so definitely in the next 1020 or 30 years. but if the sea level rises by 50 centimeters, and it will have to be used 300 to 400 times past once a day 1st, i mean it wouldn't manage to shop that. it moves, it won't be able to cool as a structure, but nor will the lagoon manage it because it's the exchange of water. did i want it? but often house gosh, marco single vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons ecosystem. he says the frequency with which most a is being used has not yet had any major consequences. but this could change if

the lagoon is separated from the sea more frequently and for longer periods of time of the remains of the time. okay, so it's a sort of st. couldn't be that at some point, we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the lagoon as a salt water, lagoon or noise that oversee the long closures interrupt the cycle between the sea and the lagoon, which is fundamental for venice. and we're also open to them, you know, it's what creates the lagoon floor so that which determines what plants and animals can live. there are the 2 we're going to face to talk decisions. so because they could understand the future, whether to save the lagoon or the city, the nations would ideally keep both the sun. marco is the lowest point of venice and the 1st applied work is currently underway to raise the square the going to my buddy. now were raised to

a $110.00 centimeters in the square would no longer be under water because it would manage up to a $110.00 centimeter with like flooding and uh over a $110.00 centimeters come. and what was the system would close? so in other words, there would be no more flooding on the san marco. he believes we need to have faith that people often forget that venice has sunk 30 centimeters in the past 150 years . too much ground water has been pumped from the cities aquifers, but ground water could also help save the city from disaster response that it's not always the water that's being pumped out. this pump idea and then finish could rise by 30 centimeters again. to start asking, you'd be the exact, the 30 centimeters that we've lost in the past a 150 years. so the one i'm going to, let's move it up. so we will be going back the button, the starting at 0 again, so to speak, for most of us are he says that venice, as we know it cannot last forever in any case. at some point the lagoon will have

to be separated from the sea. and the venetians will be forced to decide what kind of buy those cannot be rescued. we have to decide what to save some vent investment. there is only one bending in it keeps my, i'm been in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make or was without doing this. like i said at the beginning of this episode, some things are just too precious to. let's cool. what is threatening the nature around you when? what do you think can be done to preserve it? let us know. you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media handles. i will see you next week until then. take care. good bye. gosh, the,
