a why is the ice melting? the assignment reset in the i c d, w the most things in life on 12 minute then why i try to preserve them or hold it onto the 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
5:31 pm
sweat, all the boxes that i saw growing up. i remember watching hundreds of them as they slept out across the sky. human activities and habitat last are a few among the many to have that bugs face today, which have also led to a decline in the numbers, a young man from in the as desolate stage. overall, just con is walking with an organization to get these bugs back into the sky. the colorful guides at every varied in guides is ton 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 it home, loading because we had on the regulatory, the boarding,
5:32 pm
the 23 year old is working with the tech shop 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 miles away. 3 birds 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 bed, did it come here to show him yesterday? it's a pigeon 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,
5:33 pm
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. yesterday we went to our total and the sun anyhow, seeing that it was a tide. you know, i don't this region and it was full strong full that you can see the, the, it on this, i have to come to present. and i got this in the study and i've got some floats for the music and see what the morning. so thanks to the game the morning and the thank you. during the 4 days of the markets and good id card fine festival, the board rescue was to receive between 700 to 800 calls, hoping that it has been trained to deal with boards home by law school did guide strings of the stand, the them would you be as good as when i joined ios dog, how to handle a bug, or if i blowed is what i can do. if it's the only thing that i'm the lock will
5:34 pm
because it's in pain with the man 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. i learned to use hand to join the check the them to got the she has got, but the new one 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, even as old folks 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 of the day is less likely it's goes bad to be injured. but because roger's don is a massive pathway for me. mike writes rebates would say in huge numbers, they did say, i would just ask people to consider the knock on effect of flying kites. and this
5:35 pm
time of the year it was witnessing such a hot breaking incident that inspired rule had to establish the board rescue. and due back in 2003, i got to get with 4014, 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 thing 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 in by next year we started the school work, the boards in 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. a decent report on the state of india as boards found around 60 percent of species are in decline. the trend is concerning because birds play a vital role in particularly cities,
5:36 pm
we have had project loss on areas are being developed. houses are being constructed, big buildings are being, be constructed and of our development, the practice of such that they're actually driving the birds of a very little bit, very helpful in cross 188 and uh uh, they help us and controlling the populations of the insect song, so best song. so there are many birds for example, locusts. if you look at the low cost, the low cost school, right, the devastated the entire feeds because it would feed it's if you have birds that the feed on low cost, the damage caused by the lo locust be contorted by the birds also
5:37 pm
structure. save it, save more than $13000.00 birds dislike at any hospital. the theme forest assesses the patients ones and determines whether surgery is necessary. once they've covered, the boards are set, see again on the lease check. so generally it's on the lease x will be generally check more tied, the board is lying. is it able to budge? 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 sign 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 fox sports or chemical elements that the was,
5:38 pm
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 sale says what center of those 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 enough food. the problem is that there was 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? what alternatives do we have and cut our own p save us.
5:39 pm
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, 10 essential nutrients and an essential component of life. this is barbara k to manage. she's a renown, so assigned to space and schedule on canada. that's part of our team, hey, it's part of our a salvas consumer task, let beds. it's part of our, our and i today roughly 80 percent of the world's philosophers is use for agriculture because it's a structural component of self. 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 crop engineering,
5:40 pm
it's spread the green revolution. this on massive increases in crop yields, especially in the global south and places like india, n 1916 or less than production was like, yeah, it will be the medium dens nasty or whatever the next production would step through 315 in 2 days. and i'd like to share yeah. as a scientist at the engine institute as swale science. i definitely will give this credit for foreclosure application because before it was there was no knowledge about this. 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
5:41 pm
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 anteria unpackaged on fussy rock is a non renewable resource. and we can substitute it integrates for gas and some scientists of one that we're approaching peak phosphorus, a barbara seems to think otherwise. iris child seventies. i remember, hey, kyle, 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 new tories, the inefficient it binds easily with other minerals and the soil which makes it
5:42 pm
unavailable for a plant. when they get 950 or fos for this, you apply this, it will do get don't. they didn't give just from what people do yet as to what and body, but maybe 80 percent of that. would it 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 this? 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 will react 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,
5:43 pm
shores, and francisco bay area is experiencing a toxic eligible. and it's not just the waste from agriculture at this rampant foss versus everywhere in our food or tap water. 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, cheese of 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 within your endeavored in toilet. these toilets can get expensive and it leaves the problem at the individual consumer agenda. so she's been approached by building
5:44 pm
companies interested in installing them in new houses. and her company already has a partnership with speed is public toilet frontal firms. it'd be great 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 mon, 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 it's treatment plans to get the water cleaner. get it. we're not looking at it as extracting resources to run the risk 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 shortage of technologies,
5:45 pm
it's just right now. it's still more cost effective to ship product from than it is to try to get it from all of these other sources. we can also start earlier in the process and help plants absorb more phosphorous. 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 said these are the estimated proof of funds. a bit of like very good uh, fox sort of categories and it can extend that high cmc kabbage of uh, fox. what else from the 5th i'm just going out to the 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 and the legislation could help move the market along the recently legalize the scale of phosphorus recovered from sledges, fertilizer, and is working on laws that will require more of us for us to be removed from
5:46 pm
wastewater space 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 a kept at that. maybe i'm to stop mister, can general, but that's i technician that fits their work talking about it may be able check that 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 that is a group of women in the southern and then say to somebody lago, we're not just cleaning up these dump yards,
5:47 pm
but also reclaiming the land and turning it into something beautiful. until a few years ago, this was just about an 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 not in these places exactly opposite 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 because they even found it quite scary to walk past the splunk of out of the car by him. i don't want you to call the thing of the money on this one. 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 of the to is b s g college. he supported her idea right from the start
5:48 pm
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 so called reservation owned by the state. such it is often live raised and quickly become a dumping ground. like a domino, i wonder if people start dumping garbage some that it's hard to stop them so many word against me. okay. and did randomly and let me go to ira's valve beaten long. they were just waiting for me to fade. but i took it as a tell him to go to challenging out on the a, anybody moving commodities? a lot of that data before she could get permission to redesign the area. after that, it took just a few months to transform the wasteland into a garden and her neighbors loved it. the less i think
5:49 pm
i'm the one plus about the garden is that the flowers have drag different, but ideas off butterfly for them they get maybe a bit of also there are 6, that's not a bit better. so the kid slow coming here, they call it that, that box. this box stands out as everything is integrated here because of the malware. it's entirely different from other attendants, boxes of a tube in spots and either on the model autumn initially. before you go to see what this place would become either block or whatever. okay, let me run it to name is henry is determination and hardwell cuz changed it into a beautiful garden and then the one of my kick them to put on. yeah, there are many unused reserve areas including but do that belong to the state, then embody, move and come on has now been commissioned to turn them into box to any other than sites in the model many days eventually and as in queen, but don't have fox that are not been deemed people in those areas who didn't read for cooperation. so in use or even some strangers to take action,
5:50 pm
the residents to join forces and change the place that would benefit that entire. so that would be a lot of the, let me use logical ones don't 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 send 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
5:51 pm
protect venice. 78 middle barriers that can be raised to separate the sea from the laguna. the system is called mos at signalfx triple simone, if we hadn't had mos in venice, would have been irreparably destroyed. on november 22nd of 2022. it was the 2nd highest, plugged in history quote, but nothing happened. we were able to protect the lagoon and venice of del, provide to luna infinity. so it's elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times that much to compare, search, see, and she's having to do with increasingly frequently. janetta 40 the most that we now know that mostly is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened and nor at the same time set down a little sub today we know much more about black than when so we're in a position to act again, flooding it out within 50, has the most
5:52 pm
a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea. the goons, very easy to go for that model. and 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 says that most it is just buying time for the most house. and he's most enough to say 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. that's once a day. first, i didn't want to manage the shaft that moves, it won't be able to cool as a structure, but nor will the lagoon manage it because it needs the exchange of water. uh did i won't it, but often host osh, marco sequel vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the
5:53 pm
lagoons eco system. 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 the time. okay, so i mean it's a sort of, it could be that at some point we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the lagoon is 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 all open to them. you know, it's what creates the lagoon floor southerners, which determines what plants and animals can lives. there are the 2 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 sun marco is the lowest point of venice and the 1st applied work is currently under way to raise the square.
5:54 pm
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 that 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 sun, michael. 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 is not always the water that's being pumped out this pump back in time. and ben is, 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. 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,
5:55 pm
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 what to save some vent investment. there is only one bending in it keeps my, 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 most gosh,
5:56 pm
the, the, the,
5:57 pm
you guys familiar strom's think i wouldn't match or choose to have surgery for you to have a big fan of plastic surgery going under the knife for beauty on as a mom. ok, well, i want to get a nose job. some other, i think his face is fine. there's plenty of potential for conflict when generations class us and them in 30 minutes on the w.
5:58 pm
truly treated vines, western european patients, all the gnome and medical textbooks. does that lead to discrimination against people of color in medicine? does it result in false diagnoses? and more complications is the racism in medicine in 75 minutes on d w the i wish i could've done more to save. you just click away find the best to really see the world as he's never seen it before.
