the most things in life on 12 minutes, then why try to preserve them or hold onto them. hello and welcome. i'm 5 because the body annual watching so many aspects of life nature and also don't deal with all cables and maybe even the generational stuff 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 across the sky . human activities and habitat last are a few among the many to have that bugs faced today, which have also led to a decline in the numbers. a young man from india's desolate stage overall, just con is walking with an organization to get these bugs back into the sky. the colorful guides at every rate and god just con in january. millions of

people fly them to celebrate mockers and cannot be the human do festival that mocks the start of the holiday season. what 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 a home loan because we had on the 20 the board thing the 23 year old is working the deduction in organization in chapel that specializes in the rescue and rehabilitation of injured boards and the wildlife. how's it going? we have received a 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 migrate. 3 birds flock here, hoping to find himself responding to many more calls. he has been working as

a desk you volunteer for 7 years and is experienced in dealing with literally patients like this one. go by the bed. 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 a bunch of chinese mondor is used to fly many of the guides here. it's a string that's quoted with baldor gloss, despite the band it to use for assist presidents 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 this on any house in that it was a tide, you know, i don't this region and it was full thrown full of that. you can see the, the, the, what it on this i have taken the present and i've done this in the study and i've kept them flawed for the basic and see what the morning. so thanks to the game the

morning and the thank you during the for these of the markets and got the card signed festival, the board rescue was to receive between 700 to 800 calls, hoping that it has been trained to deal with birds hum, buy a glass quoted guide strings of the time the may i have of them would you be as good as when i joined i always thought how to handle a bug or if a bird is more to do with it and don't think that on the lot. well, because it's in pain with the men doesn't understand what's going on, but again, what we need to colored flies. we use those to whole day. but what's up with all this is also thought to new. i learned to use hand to join the check the them to got the shows up, but the new building did 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 into a 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 of the day is less likely it's goes bad to be injured. but because roger's don is a massive pathway for migratory baths, which saying huge numbers into it. so i would just ask people to consider the knock on effect of flying kites. and this time of the air, it was witnessing such a hot breaking incident that inspired rule had to establish the board rescue and due 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 is what i taught in by next year we started the school work the boards and not

only access to building the site. festival city growth is also putting even populations under pressure backs. pension of the concrete jungle and 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 away. they have very little bit hit very helpful in cross 188 and uh uh they help us and controlling the populations of the insect salt and so

best song. so there are many birds, for example, locusts. if you look at the low cost of, of the low cost school. right, the devastated clear data feeds because of the fields. if you have birds that the feed on low cost, the damage caused by the lo, locust, b, kentoria by the birds also structure, save it, saved more than $13000.00 boards dislike at any hospital. the theme forest assess is the patient's boons and determines whether surgery is necessary. once recovered, the boards are set. see again on the lease check. so generally it's under the lease . yes. will be generally check more tied, the board is lying. is it able to board? it's going it's search exhibiting, it's naturally videos. this bird of prey has already covered well and is now

ready to leave it up. chas 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. so i 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 new experience is false? 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 fail says what's in her bones, dna and seats, 8000000 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 is

a finite amount and roughly 70 percent of it comes from one place. the visual problem is that we're wasting most of what's already 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 do 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 a periodic table from back to you was trying to find out how to make any right. what is phosphorus? all organisms need fast to essential nutrients and an essential component of life. this is barbara k manager. she's a renown, so assigned to space, and scott drawn canada as part of our team. hey, it's part of our

a salvas concerning past let bets. it's part of our, our and i today roughly 80 percent of the world's philosophers 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 spread the green revolution. this, the 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 median since last year. i wouldn't be an extra production reached up to $215.00. and so jason, i thought was how, yeah, as a scientist at the engine institute as swale science, a definitely they give this credit for foreclosure application 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 worth, 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 occupying the area of rebel 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 fueled 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. barbara seems to

think otherwise. iris child seventies. i remember. well, 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 phosphate fertilizers, new tories, the inefficient it binds easily with other minerals and the soil, which makes it unavailable for a plant. but, and they get 950 or foss with us. you apply this ever to get don't they didn't get this from what people do yet as to what and body, but maybe 80 percent of that would be best if you didn't inside. that's why the industry solution is 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 like an wet climates and it will bind to iron and aluminum to alkaline. it'll react with calcium. but this has consequences . the use of chemical fertilizers increases the run off of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus into bodies of water. it'd be huge if occasion which kills of oxygen . it also causes mass of alco bloom's, which can be toxic and produce earth warming, measuring 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. if it's rampant foss 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 on a 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 urine is enough to

grow a 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 x squared and retains its nutrients towel with a your endeavoured and 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 speed is 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. yes. unfortunately, household p is just a small fraction of all the 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 that out and reuse it right now. so treatment plans to get the water cleaner, get it. we're not looking at it as extracting waves are serenity, secularist, 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 the product from that it is to try to get it from all these other sources. we can also serve earlier in the process and help plants absorb more phosphorus. recent research has shown that certain types of fund guy induct area could be used in the future to improve crappy old and soil health. in fine, j did these other estimates group of funds a bit of like very good uh,

fox sort of categories and it can extend that high cm's cabbage plus what else from any of the scientists 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 of the legislation could help move the market along the recently legalize the scale of phosphorus recovered from sledge as fertilizer and is working on laws that will require more of us for us to be removed from wastewater. smith is actually quite easy to recycle. the government of the 2nd says you have to recycle 15 percent of that process. that's been your wastewater. and then innovations finally have a chance to come to light and start to implement cyclic. the cost of it is going to drive a lot of innovation when it was chief thought value that i add up to best account at that. maybe i'm to stop mister can general, but based that by technician that fits there are talking about it. maybe it will

trigger the p revolution dump. the odds are not just a problem, wiley exist, but they continue to be a problem even yours after they're gone. toxic substances legion to the ground. i'm almost completely destroyed. but there is a group of women in the southern and then say to somebody, logo, we're not just cleaning up these dump yards, but also reclaiming the land and turning it into something beautiful. until a few years ago, this was just about in 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 danny moody 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 this place is exactly opposite to my house. it was just used as a dump yard just uh, when i asked people about it, they said it had been like this for 36 or 37 years ago because they even found it quite scary to walk the boss, the splotch, a lot of the good by him, although you called thinking a mighty one is the one who most inspired her to address the problem was her mental c r. so i mean not to the former c e o or squint, but it was b s, g college. he supported her idea right from the start but they within order, but within 20 days he passed away in the state of his words urging 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. the good people you done and 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 tell him to go to challenging. i don't know anybody mohan come off faced 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 that drag different but ideas off butterfly on the good maybe. but also there are 6 ducks and that a bit better. so the kid slow coming here, they call it that. that box. this box stands out as everything is integrated here, go to the mallor. it's entirely different from other children's boxes of a tube and spotting either on the autumn. initially, the reward eager to see what this place would become. the other flock of ever again,

11 minutes. the name of henry's determination and hardwell cuz changed it into a beautiful garden and then then went to market come to the ground. yeah. there are many unused reserve areas including but do that belong to the state then embody moving, come out, has now been commissioned to done them into a box to that or yeah, they send sites in the model many, there's a dental n as in queen, but don't have fox that are not maintained people in those areas within reach for cooperation. so in use or even some strangers to take action, the residents to join forces and change the place that would benefit that entire set out. and a lot of the, let me use logical ones don't embody moving promises. daughters have finished their 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 on the road and was send them off for

decades. the romantic city of witness, 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 day. 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 ground. the system is called mos that signaled triple simone. if we hadn't, had moses venice would have been irreparably destroyed on november 22nd or 2022. it was the 2nd highest flooding history quote, but nothing happened. we were able to protect the lagoon and vanessa del provide la moon infinity. so or 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 think about jeanette authority on the most that 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. so today we know much more about the blacks and winds. so we're in a position to act again for flooding that out. within 15 years, the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea and then a google scavenger, easy to go for somebody that 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 garrick, when the keys says that most it is just buying time for the most house,

and he's most the enough to see tennis 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 $300.00 to $400.00 times. because once a day, 1st i didn't want to manage shop that moves, it won't be able to cool as a structure. but nora wasn't like, couldn't manage it because it meets the exchange of water. uh, did i won't 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 of 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 remainder of the time. okay, so i'm going to sort of see it 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 not that oversee the long closures interrupt the cycle between the sea and the lagoon. which is fundamental for venice and we're all open

to them. you know, it's what creates the lagoon floors open, which determines what plants and animals can live there out of the kid. we're going to face to talk decisions because they could understand the future. whether to save the lagoon or the city, the nations would ideally keep both the son marco is the lowest point of venice. and the 1st applied work is currently underway to raise the square the i'm 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 will 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 city's awkward verse, but ground water could also help save the city from disaster response that is not only the water that's being pumped out, this pump back in time, and ben is could rise by 30 centimeters again. to start asking, we'd be the exact, the 30 centimeters that we've lost in the past a 150 years. hold on a minute. it's moving up so we will be going back the button, the starting at 0 again, so to speak. 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 a by those cannot be rescued. we have to decide to save some vent investment. there is only one bending in it keeps no, i'm 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 go. 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. so much gosh, the,

the, the in good shape, mental health is there in the ideal buttons, anxiety, depression. oh, pressure from exams. what to do with those psyche gets out of kilter in good shape. next on dw, window cleaner, bind a drag queen, buying

a car. so lay low alias lead. what square life like in poland. these how does it differ from other european countries? the eligibility to i active is doesn't means we're 0 mass in 60 minutes on d w. the nice easy at the end just to pass a gun. any difficult to access an expedition ventures on to places that no one has the why is the

ice melting? the assignment research in the i see on the our cubes, pets bring us a lot of joy for also helping to decrease stress and make us feel less slowly. they boost our confidence and make us more sociable. but of course pets are not the only option for improving your mental health. coming up and to show what helps with panic. attacks. excessive stress levels, also from too many family chores and responsibilities and how to reduce them. plus ways of strengthening your mental health. with 1st dealing with exam stress.
