a long time ago. it still seems like a my number goes to messina, money grew up in the area. when might what? um, and when i was growing up, my mother used to go to the far as the cutting down trees for firewood for the affordable and i would join home. so i could on some money with you and what the hell was all about that and uh, which is a good event that they would only be some trees scheduled here. and there did you did the one on zillow or whatever. but that was long ago, in fact, for the past 2 decades, lets see that money has been working for the organization for his tweet, which has been restoring the forest on the holy hills in the indian state of them. and now it's a matter of close to the hot so the founders are for us to be in particular. i don't think adult i'm going on. he too high up here and remembers. well, what the hell looked like without tree cover? and just how hot it was. so 1989 a. this whole idea that this could be close enough for us to was put into action.
4:04 am
there was no top side. you just costs to hurt people and nothing would suffice because to so much good. anything going on in the hills? the animal forest fires added to the problem. the finished off any siblings. the only thing that really thrive here was lemon grass planted by local residents who once used it to catch their rules. for the past 40 years, people have lived in stone houses. and so the grass has grown unchecked, lemon grass contents, a lot of oil and bones like a torch expos. see, climate change is also making them know hot and dry up and why not? because of the fires. it creates both its conditions for them to spread. the frequent fios uh so that the, according to the last page you meant india. it was that i could add frequency instead of 5 higher then let you levels are fired. i'm because of the board. it has
4:05 am
visited is full explanation of so fired thought live experiences such as the name of the forest. we are fire fighters, have tried out various ways of tackling the problem. they have finally found a simple method to keep the fires in the control. and the way we have to planted on 10 to 15000 trees. they would start growing later and after a filed and everything would vanish. and we wondered how we could avoid losing everything to file with united way. and that's when we started creating a fire line display of the season a lot the both the trees we planted on and the naturally growing trees started to flourish together on the that no matter what you had got it. and what, what i can do seem to put somebody, so it's all send a bit of a balancing act. oh not you're not. his is a popular place of pilgrimage, as it is regarded as the physical manifestation of the him to guard shiver. every year, thousands of pilgrims flocked to the festival of got to go deeper in the town of to
4:06 am
the light at the foot of the hill. it's a real challenge for the firefighters. i love of people for getting the people festival. people like plans across the like and anywhere in the hills. we have a team members monitoring the entire place and we put out fires as soon as this start, the organization has been working with the local forestry office. since the outset, the office has not just provided fire engines, but also made sure that forestry workers had the right equipment to double up as firefighters to fortified go. if i can, they can you ask them to fight fires? nowadays, we use advanced technologies like early warning systems for the course of yours in the us, find a load website through which we get to real time information. i mean, for me. so those gave me how i would far as the and then goes to the spot to the thousands, the fire with the local people. so if you fortified to cool those,
4:07 am
good nick about john. nick, i kind of got this only to disclose cooperation with the residents and the forestry office has the organization forest. we be able to bring new life to the who of the, the data came back in here like, and the plot of combines and the white board and bud spaces. it's dramatic and for the district to be able to go into $54.00 species or the toilet to go to the but also the, the police have created that splendid like thing like, you know, so, so, so much on is the name of gets absolved. the co founder is also going to share his interest. he is in for the transformation. once a week, he takes students from a nearby school to the him, to demonstrate that walking to prison of nature really can fail from colorado. let's now have to spin in europe where why fi is destroyed, housing is a vehicle or is of land in 2020 t. as it is,
4:08 am
that is the spanish state forest fire campaign was put in place. we met a firefighter and his team for now becoming ever more skews in dealing with by fires. the roads are dry and dusty and it's hot. $35.00 degrees celsius enriques up his is scouting the cadillac for us with his special unit on a mission to prevent forest fires. that's what i've got to keep waves are becoming stronger and more frequent alone. we can only try to stop fires from spreading by observing and responding fat vista in the 1st half of 2023, almost 70000. hector is the forest burnt down. that's an area greater than all of a madrid. of all the land burnt by wild fires. in the you over half is in spain.
4:09 am
right. and rick is very concerned. he checks the soil for moisture and keep finding the same result. yeah. so yeah, it's dry down deep into the earth. meaning fires can break out at any moment to go to. so they have to take action with local massage, simply add to the sum of the they put the extra instead i think we've created a strategic protective stream here and it was, it include all the brush from the 4th floor the month. oh yeah. they will get that those, the get, the how do i mean if a fire does break out, it can't spread and can't reach the tree tops. you get it, go to that as a comparison, we left everything over the day or the way it was going to start, i guess we're going to sell in the other the firefighters back at the station are also on high alert at even the slightest sign of a forest fire they head out in nearly done mile is specialized in these kinds of disasters
4:10 am
. and he says, extreme climatic conditions are straining. the 4th best plan is that still same would show up on the plants are really suffering and desktop at summer dead. others are losing bio mass to look at that schedule, which creates better fuel for a forest fire of people in them via fillings. and it's a firestar. it's under those conditions. it's all the more violent from the outset within those. yeah, there's that any c o in late june, a fire broke out in the back country around time. we're gonna fire fighters fought the blaze from the air and ground bottles immediately monitor the operation from the station when i keep record of harvesting, machine caught fire and set like a seal to and from there, the flames quickly spread to the jason for as well. the,
4:11 am
the special unit conduct the regular aerial surveillance, also to observe harvesting activities. and enrique cents fire trucks to the fields, just in case there's an activity that there will be as well, because it's harvesting is dangerous instead of to death because it takes place from the heart and from the difficulty and send you in a fire, can start at any moment it's done with the support of it, and that's why we stay close so we can respond quickly and look into that. and if i would almost have the them in failure, that is actually give them the farmers are thankful to have the firefighters around . tomas sorry has been in too dangerous situations but manage to extinguish the fire on his own in the nick of times. what is covered at one of the owner? there was a sudden bang and the exhausted and a sparks flew out onto the hay hanging from the machine. yeah, it's been a fire broke down, goes into, into your the firefighters,
4:12 am
anticipate things getting tougher in the future. emily sees climate change as the primary culprit last and most of it ask you the name of what's going on. dental color for the intense heat is making the atmosphere increasingly unstable. basic as you know, that causes higher wind speeds. and those winds make buyers way more destructive than normal and the model enrique and his prevention team are also concerned about the humanities, climate footprint. they say prevention alone isn't enough. and better policy measures are urgently needed. but oh yeah, i must go to me now though, so that's not good. and i still put it in the other way. and then when the world is transforming it into a force or burning everywhere and get them out of going through the other countries need to realize we can't leave this kind of heritage for our children scorched or the stress for us has made it through yet another hot and dry day,
4:13 am
tomorrow and week and his crew will head out once again to try and prevent the worst from happening. when we left our florida spanish, one of the major impacts is desertification. 32 percent of in dallas land is being created. why is 25 percent is undergoing desertification? he had an endo. this also contributes heavily to dust storms, which i'm a lot of things contribute to major health concerns for thousands of people in the northern at albany mountain gene citizens have bottled an idea of building the green water to protect these mountain photos. but will these create green was to the walk, the videos like these a popping up for the social media. they show colossal dust storms raging through delhi and the surrounding states. but this isn't a freak weather event. the storms are becoming seasonal. the task comes from the
4:14 am
thought doesn't like the sahara and the go, the, it's expanding and destroying vital living space. i forgot and china, i've responded with them. fishes prompting projects, great green pools of trees to try and stopped as though to vacation and india. india is lucky, the north has a natural green bar at the arrival of mountain range, which is held back to thought as it for centuries. that is until now the mega dust storms and hot winds blowing in from the doesn't reckoning the lives of millions in the national capital region. in 2019 india made a promising announcement. it will be planting its own quite greenville in the rob needs to help fight design to vacation. but as we're about to see, was of trees have shown mixed results in other parts of 12. and the roughly mountain range is facing some serious threat to that side. so who can india do better? and will it be able to slow the advancing? does that the powerful does students have led to a spike and bronchitis,
4:15 am
breeding difficulties and lung disease. they also destroy soil and damage crumbs, but this is not just the fault of climate change. direct human actions such as the legal, mining, deforestation, and of and screw eating with the mountain barrier and turbo, charging desire to vacation in the why to region. the mining is happening to us such a big extent that he loved in units being raised to the ground. there are millions and millions of people living in your without the and all the these are the desert is going to completely engulf entire or northwest in, you know, 2018 government study estimates that at least 20 percent of the arrival of hills and broadest on the ready been lost to mining important ground water systems have been disrupted, and many rivers have disappeared altogether. the robberies h and for us to also in trouble. scientists calculated that since 1975, april,
4:16 am
1000 square kilometers of trees, have been cut down and replaced with housing and farm land and taking into account illegal deforestation. almost 6000 square economics has a 3 carpet has been lost. that's the equivalent of more than 3 180000. cricket bitches. in 2019 after season of especially punishing dust storms, the government proposed a solution and just ministry of environment. forest and climate change would create a great green gold. 1400 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide to restore 1500000 hectares of degraded land and the revenue region and stopped the expansion of the thought as it would run through the states of good rot, raw just on cardona on delhi, worked as building a great green will actually mean the concept was made famous by the african union in 2007, as a way to collect to the re green the saw. how does it region and create livelihoods for the people living that the original tree will project started off stretching
4:17 am
from senegal in the west to booty in the east pausing through starting different countries. but of course, the progress across the continental is being sparsely distributed. you know, some countries have done much, much more than other countries, and it's not just the idea of planting trees because you know, it could go out and boundaries. but what's really important is just an ability, how do you ensure these things route to maturity. so we have to be creative about the type of trees that are planted, you know, and make sure that there's some sort of irrigation altering the trees proved a tough challenge. but important lessons will on to results suggest that the most successful recreating on the continent has actually been achieved like thomas planting trees alongside the crops and countries like me, sharon malawi, one of the things that i would advise to any country embarking on on these the project to ensure that the people, the communities are part of this right from the,
4:18 am
from the get go. and the question, and have a clear understanding of what is the benefit of these project will be to them, because this is going to be the incentive event reading work towards the success of the project as well. ok, because great greenville is aiming to restore 100000000 hectares of degraded land by 2030, but saw fault well on the hosted the restoration talk. it has been achieved un estimates that the project still needs about $33000000.00 of investment to complete it. the question is though, would that be money? well spent great green walls around the world, and particularly the ones in hawaii in west africa, algeria. ready ready and china that have recently been reviewed in depth, do not have a good track record at all. but if desertification desiccation drying things like this are happening, they're happening primarily because of global climate change patterns. and the idea
4:19 am
that you know, trees are going to stop a desert advancing simply doesn't, doesn't hold water. trying to start it's prompting. it's great greenville known as the 3 north shelter belt project over 44 years ago. since then, the government has spent billions on tree planting. the plan is to plant in ery or forest, colorado as big as bronson italy combined by 2050. so there's still a lot to do. but can china is large scale, planting power, set it apart? china is, is quite different from these other cases. and the primary difference is just the way china is governed and the way the chinese government gets things done. so come, india is government, get the great greenville done. the initiative was officially launched in march 2023, but since then, no prompting is yet being done. the ministry of environment forest and climate change says it's still preparing the state by state plan and identifying vulnerable
4:20 am
hotspots. no one from the ministry agreed to be interviewed. local communities have responded to this government in action by experimenting with the own replanting strategies. we decided that we're going to plant or be newkirk species because in exports on high re, uh, we reached out to o. exports to you about what it needs to take on that object flores. i'm the guys 1st project trunk boomed an old mining site into what is now the roughly biodiversity pock. ready the team collected seeds from the revenue, or as to recreate hundreds of native plants and 3 species. the planting projects also made use of indigenous will to capture techniques to support the plants. they were generated an old good, and that's an environment and ditch structure i used to channel to during the monsoon range. and they also cleaned out. several jo had small palms that helped to recharge ground water. very,
4:21 am
very clear that no water from our projects would go out and be those fine risk of taking water from the road or bid it would be good to get accept bought into the, into our projects. so kind of a great greenville help to restore india is a roughly mountains. well, probably not the way things are going. the government doesn't actually take steps to protect that naturally one from minding from real estate development from commercial activities. then are these kind of teams on knoxville we uh, you know, they're just going to be cosmetic, with communities, taking the lead on localize, replanting the responsibilities now on the indian government to make good on it's great greenville promise, in forcing legal protections in the arrival these would be a good start. let's now have to the 1st thing for us to send the caller in the northeast of the state, have a sizable shyly population. indigenous people here shed
4:22 am
a very close relationship with the environment and the fault systems. they are now losing the diversity of these plants and trees, but technical know how and ancient knowledge are helping them build better sustainable ad receive. so uh even hard. yeah, mm hm. bye bye me, let me your you asking the key some by that ancient cause these folk song describes the close born between humanity and nature. nature johnny belongs to the 50 or so families who lived here in the mountains of cheat f one g in ne india as make out yesterday for my the song asks me to forget like the white plants growing among the flower bed. so
4:23 am
so, so to me, by making him can hold him, can you come all these are garlic, china, which we eat about and ship long. this is what it was. and then we have bonded pals which we cultivate for funding for them. come not the name for the month of september and not to be half of their ready to have it so when i and because of it by not provide on the edge of a lot like open a new new so i don't somebody to hack and we have johnny's home village of nobody else is remote, and anyone who wants to visit has to escape 2 and a half 1000 steps. the inhabitants here are an indigenous people to the traditional real life. they make an important contribution to biodiversity. 3 quarters of migalia is 46, so people here go there across among the wide trees and shrubs.
4:24 am
agro ecologist got the good works for the ne, slow food and agro biodiversity society, or the nest spots for shop. the n g o wants to preserve the agents traditional graduation nutritional practices. so if we look at the, with the indigenous communities have manage the food system, you will see a component of diversity where you will see there is in the system in any of the system. there's multi cropping. we're a variety of 12. see if we do uh, to a mapping exercises, we have found that a community have about more than $202.00 foot loans just a few years ago. there was more diversity according to surveys by and that's fine. but slash and burn florida is cleared and i'm increasingly heavy. the info have both taken their story on the soil. in the 1990s,
