way, find out best documentaries on you to see the world, the subscribe. now to dw talking entry, the are for us really to support our existence in closer. we like what do we do for them? hello, and welcome. i'm sorry because the body and you are watching the queen. do we all know how important these for the software us and how much they do for us from providing sustenance to food, to livelihood. and even though oxygen is actually being. but in today's episode, let's find some inspiration on what we can do for them from small efforts to
7:31 am
community action. 2023 was the your why fi us across the world? human made climate change increases the risk of extreme that events like heat, fees and droughts. and these in done become a key driving factor for forest fires. let's have to domino's sacred mountain forest to learn more about the community's efforts to prevent forest fires . ready sacred o, as green as it was a long time ago. it still seems like a my number goes to massena money. oh, grew up in the area when what model? uh, and when i was growing up, my mother used to go to the forest to cut down trees for firewood, horribly. i would join home. so i called on some money of the hill was all but that in which is good. it meant that they would only be somebody scheduled here and
7:32 am
there. good, good, good to know that or whatever. but that was long ago. in fact, for the past 2 decades. let's see that money has been working for the organization for his tweet, which has been restoring the forest on the holy, who in the indian state of the time and not it's a matter close to the hearts of the founders a far as to be in particular i don't think adult i'm going on. he too high up here and remembers well, what the hill looked like without tree cover. and just how hot it was. so 1989. this whole idea that this could be close enough for us to was put into action. there was no top site, it just costs to hurt people and nothing would suffice because those so much good. anything going on in the head of the animal as far as tires 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 patch their goals. for the
7:33 am
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 some no hot and dry up. and why not? because of the fires, it creates both it's conditions for them to spread the frequent fios. uh so that the, according to the last thing human endured was that i could add frequencies instead of 5 higher than the actual levels of fire. i'm because of the board, it has visited is fairly suppression, also fired, thought living speed, disease such as the let me get out to the forest we are, firefighters have tried out various ways of tackling the problem. they have finally found a simple method to keep the fires in the control us and the way we have planted on 10 to 15000 trees where they would stop growing little and after a fire,
7:34 am
everything would vanish. we wondered how we could avoid losing everything to file with united. that's when we started creating a fire line to save the trees and i bought the trees we planted. and the naturally growing trees started to flourish together on v that no matter what you had gather and what i can do seem to put somebody, it's all send a bit of from balancing act. oh not you know, 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 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 light up lamps across the light 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,
7:35 am
the office has not just provided fire engines, but also made sure that for us to walk us had the right equipment to double up as firefighters to put aside go fight clinic and the outcomes to fight fighters. nowadays, we use advanced technologies like early warning systems for the soviet in the us fire load website, the website to which we get to real time information. i mean for me. so those can be how well as far as the and then goes through the spot to the thousands, the fire with the local people, but few fortified to go those good nickel john nick, i'm good 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 in the white board and both spaces. it's dramatic and for
7:36 am
the district to be able to go to, to 50 for species or the following. let's go to the but also the, the police have created that sponge 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, so vehicles of land in 2022 as it is, that is the spanish space for us to buy a campaign was put in place. we met a firefighter and his team, who are now becoming ever more skilled in dealing with life fires. the roads are dry and dusty and it's hot. $35.00 degrees celsius enriques up his is scouting the cadillac for us, but his special unit on
7:37 am
a mission to prevent forest fires. so let's look at the heat. waves are becoming stronger and more frequent. 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 madrid. of all the land burnt by wild fires in the you over half is in spain and rick is very concerned. he checks the soil for moisture and keeps 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 uh, they put 60 on instead i think we've created a strategic protective strip here. and was it include all the brush from the 4th
7:38 am
floor? the model? yeah, they will get that those the get the how do i mean if a fire just break out, it can't spread and can't read 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 tell him the other the firefighters back at the station are also on high alert that even the slightest sign of a forest fire they head out in nearly done mile is specialized in these kinds of disasters. and he says, extreme climatic conditions are straining the 4th best plan is that still saying what you will not find? the plants are really suffering and desktop. some are dead, others are losing bio mass. the low gap has got it on that, which creates better fuel for a forest fire of one of them via phone names, and it's a fire starts under those conditions at all the more violent from the outset within
7:39 am
those. yeah, there's that any c o, in late june, a fire broke out in the back country around time we're going to firefighters possibly from the air and ground bottles immediately monitor the operation from the station. when i came, uh, i got a quote uh from harvesting machine caught fire and set like a seal to and from there the flames quickly spread to the adjacent for as well as 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 they will be eligible for because of the harvest thing is dangerous instead of to death because it takes place from the heart and from the disability and send you in a fire. can start at any moment,
7:40 am
it's done with the support of it, and that's why we stay close so we can respond quickly. it will come down in a fight with that most of 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 time. with this comfortable, mike, you know, one of the owner, there was a sudden bang in the exhausted and a sparks flew out onto the hay hanging from the machine. yeah, just because you've been a fire broke down, goes into into your the firefighters, anticipate things getting tougher in the future. emily sees climate change as the primary culprit. last and most of it ask you the name was going going to dental color for the intense heat is making the atmosphere increasingly unstable. basic that causes higher wind speeds and those wins make
7:41 am
buyers way more destructive than normal remodel. 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, most gotta be another. so that's the goal and then wonder the world is transforming into a forest burning everywhere and get them out of going to you and the countries need to realize we can't leave this kind of heritage for our children scorched or the stress tourist has made it through yet another hot and dry day, tomorrow, and wreak and his crew will head out once again to try and prevent the worst from happening when we left off. 8 to spanish, one of the major impacts is desertification. 32 percent of in dallas land is being created. why is 25 percent is undergoing desertification here in and out. this also
7:42 am
contributes heavily to dust storms, which i'm a lot of things contribute to major health concerns for thousands of people up in the northern at albany mountain. jane citizens have borrowed an idea of building the green water to protect these mountain photos. but will these great green was actually walk videos like these are popping up for the social media. they show colossal dust storms raging through delhi and the surrounding states that this isn't a freak weather event. the storms are becoming seasonal. the task comes from the thought doesn't like the sahara and the gobi is expanding and destroying vital living space. i forgot and china i've responded with, i'm fishes prompting project. 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,
7:43 am
the mecca dust storms and hot winds blowing in from the desolate reckoning the lives of millions in the national capital region. in 2019 india made a promising announcement. it could be prompting its own quite greenville, in the rob leads 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 revenue mountain range is facing some serious threat to that side. so what can india do better? and will it be able to slow the advancing? does that the powerful dust storms have led to a spike and bronchitis, 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 of and screw eating with the mountain barrier and turbo charging deserved vacation in the why to region. the mining is happening to us
7:44 am
such a big extent that he loved in units being raised to the ground. there are millions and millions of people living in york without the in albany in the desert is going to completely engulfed entire on northwest into a 2018 government's study. estimates that at least 20 percent of the arrival of hills and broadcast on i've already been lost in 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 over 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 kilometers, a 3 cub it 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 solution in this ministry of environment forest and climate change would
7:45 am
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 right. raw just on arianna on delhi. but was just 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 from senegal in the west to booty in the east, pulsing 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 justin and believe
7:46 am
you, 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 sodium every day sand watering. the trees proved a tough challenge. but impulsive lessons went on to results suggest that the most successful re greening on the continent has actually been achieved by thomas planting trees alongside the crops and countries like me. sharon malawi, one of the things that i would advise any country embarking on on these the project to ensure that the people, the communities are part of based, right from the, from the get go and the participate and have a clear understanding of what is the benefit of the project will be to them because this is going to be the incentive event of any 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, i'm to hosted the restoration target, has been achieved un estimates that the project still needs about $33000000.00 of
7:47 am
investment to complete it. the question is, the, would that be money? well spent a great green walls around the world and particularly the ones in how 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 here for dessert, application desiccation, drying things like this are happening. they're happening primarily because of global climate change patterns. and the idea that you know, trees are going to stop a desert and 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 an area or forest, colorado as big as bronson italy combined by 2050. so there's still
7:48 am
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 kinda way the chinese government gets things done. so can india as government, get the great greenville done? the initiative was officially launched in march 2023. but since then, no planting 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 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 exports to you about what it needs to take on. and that obviously
7:49 am
flores, i'm the guys 1st project transformed 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 trees species. the planting projects also made use of indigenous war to capture techniques to support the plants. they were generated in old good, and that's an environment and ditch structure i used to channel to during the muncie range. and they also cleaned out. several jo had small palms that helped to recharge ground water. very, very clear that no water from our projects, big long and be those fine risk of taking water from the road or bid it would be good to get except water into the fall into our projects. so kind 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
7:50 am
commercial activities then are these kind of schemes are not fairly uh, you know, they're just going to be cosmetic, with communities taking the lead on localized, replanting the responsibilities. now and the indian government to make good on it's great greenville promise enforcing legal protections in the arrival. these would be a good start. let's now have to the christine for us to send the caller in the northeast. the states have a sizable shylie population. indigenous people here shed a very close relationship with the environment and the full 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 recent so, uh mm hm. yeah, mm hm. uh,
7:51 am
by the name your yeah, seen the key some by that ancient cause these folk song describes the close born between humanity and meet them. your richard zondaway belongs to the 50 or so families who live here in the mountains of cheat f one d in northeast in the us make on yesterday for my the song asks me to put her get like the wind plants growing among the flower bed. so so, so to me, by making them can hold him, can you come all these are garlic, china along which we eat about in ship long. this is why i was and then we have barnabees which we cultivate providing for them. come not the name for the month of september, the half of their ready to have is so when i and because of it by not the bottom on the edge of a lot like you know,
7:52 am
but when you're heading them. so i don't that we 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 add an indigenous people to the produce to real life. they make an important contribution to biodiversity, 3 quarters of migalia as far as that. so people here go there across among the wide g as in shops. agro ecologist got the adult good works for the ne, slow food, an agro biodiversity society, or nest spots for shop. the n g o wants to preserve the agents traditional kind of duration nutritional practices. so if we look at the, with the indigenous communities have manage the a foot system, you will see
7:53 am
a component of diversity where you will see there is in the system in the of the system this month. the cropping where a variety of grubs 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 service by and that's fine. but slash and burn, ford is cleared and i'm increasingly heavy. the info have both taken their toll on the soil. in the 1990s, the lucas on most of non co, started calculating dress to own a living. it's useful lives to feed, to make boot and fuel. but this morning go to has severely degraded destroyed body. so football, i need to have you got caught up when able to walk me who is a highly competitive blonde and you have gone to london without the other crosses because the damage has to crop on. finally got home. but when do i leave?
7:54 am
i'm getting to the blotted because of the moaned lot one graphic. if i let me know model by as market price is for bluegrass rules, thomas calculated more and more of it to the detriment of biodiversity in the region. this boss has launched programs to revise what's being lost. like at the moment, the logo primary school. the reason the dishes are now back on the menu elements have been replaced by the traditional jink up in venus by pretty low seats. and lettuce by the comedian blocked a bunk bed. jack, today i'm eating neutral out of it. bump data garbage with better law seeds, nase ice and wide edibles are fine. the hold really days deep. my absolute favorite is the palm game. this is what the ingredients are supplied by luke assignments. most thoughts, as also help to build a garden at the school. we do
7:55 am
a competitive study of the local food with the common. 5 common to be available for an open time we. we try to promote that. uh the nutrition the uh, content off after additional food is very much more higher than to the food that we buy from the market. miss not now supports more than 130 villages in northeastern india and with the help of the engine knowledge from the region. agriculture in the mountain for it is becoming more sustainable for future generations. so long instead of clues slopes. we saw the flats that for us in india and in the order of our facing and it is what is what is the state of the forest where you live, to 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 a good bye. almost gosh, the
