frank stressed and by drugs, extreme weather deforestation. let me tell you if you need to or daft places and being space a vocation and to cooling, to observe this damage environment. and to recognize that we must restore the, for us to give back to the right of the, of the a can on the so we realize that other players, including indigenous groups, can be experts in that field with very valuable knowledge. costs of this and shots is people everywhere are looking for ways to hope to die. all of our forests, the influences of what's been hired for me. it's um, we're injecting the roots with a variety of sports, leading to a much healthy, a pharmacy coast system from the start on the stand for long find out. how can we save ancient woodlands about creating new forest, the

sun shots i wants to plant very unique, new forest, e started 2 years ago and this find others who share his vision of the buds on the spindler opening. yeah, he wants to create new woodlands on many plots. notice tiny forest species rich wild and resilient. yeah, this is not totally so kind of outside the baby and also yes that sound baby in the 1st forest we planted and also the 3 a you know, we did it through crowd funding back then and were relatively unsure. but then we raised enough money and then compensation. it was really exciting the, the for the new to the front desk of, of getting this one to 5 years. the 27 year old for us scientist and his friends

collected $14000.00 euros and planted their 1st miniature forest. $3000.00 grown covering plants, shrubs and trees. and each of species are planted close together and compete with each other for light, which makes them grow unusually fast. the tiny forest concept was developed in the 1980s by japanese book in this acute embryo watches a small new forest ideal for urban areas. stuff on looks at her nature works in nearby for us to gain a better understanding of what his tiny for us need as us here. i'm for foliage here, most of the bio mass. good fools from the trees and we try to compensation now tiny forest during the early years with the store or chopped up hardwood or the exit and all plates. but the last thing is quantities in there. it's like firing of the

system at the start and i'm giving it what it would normally have off to several decade. yeah, it's in the head and then we can leave it on its own after a short period, which means it doesn't have to do all the hard work of developing soil and human. because it's there from this done and on the, in which the saw it with nutrients as a trial before planting and then left a different area untouched. to judge its success. a 3 d scanner records. first thing that's great. are they on the right track? the image is give a clear answer on the right hand side. ruined. according to the milwaukee method, the trees are especially healthy sounds of incident that sound liveliest inspection. it's really dense a task. the sole bish stesan shots that it has big plans for his tiny forest the this rain forest in

brazil with no b, a barren wasteland. the 2 people hadn't decided to dedicate their lives to saving nice of woodland. mary improved new and vehicle shasta or the descendants of german immigrants. they fought hard for the 50 heck tear forest reserve. the area of a special to the peer, because it squarely met for the 1st time when she was 70 him. and he was 23. was their love for each other and their passion for saving preserves coastal rain for us were born here was on fire flooding. that stuff will be on sunday was the day we met on that was the day we always went for a while. not fairly sure. we have the booth and we saw the good thing about these off of us, but also the not so good thing on. so something emma on investment and that always bothered us. this can't be right. something has to be done. go ahead and

move. we talk about nature conservation over lunch at dinner, always on a my we've managed to save a bit, but there's a long way to go. den screen for us like the easiest to cover all of brazil, se the forest is known as the mount to atlantic. but many species are also popular with the timber industry. google, shasta is looking for a specific treat. this as the fast free i ever planted in my life. i was 5 years old and 1964 and it's an arrow kataria. the brazilians called the auto patio, her majesty street trunk with exceptional wood line. these little arrow katia plans that growing from seeds from the tree. i found the young couple collected the seats of the giant jungle trees in the 70s in greece seedlings on their terrace to plant

wild forests. at the time, they had no idea where their ideas would take some by 1987 promising a project to save forest was born the it's never kind of non profit tree nursery with a staff of 25 morning. ok. yes. so good. the 63 year old visits the nursery every day. the soil is a special blend of minerals, price, husks, pain, bark, and fertilizers. up to 5000 seedlings are planted here every day. the seas are stored in a special refrigerated room. the goal, shasta checks the latest delivery you most certainly manage to get good quality. i do, katia. see? i don't, katya. these will yields around 20000 seedlings that will be planted in the coming day for us was this is 200 different types of trees. are growing in the nursery

primarily to see patients species people learn some german from his parents, but when it comes to trees, he'd rather stick to portuguese families above that of you god. and here we have the power brazil to treat that gives brazil its name as being heavily exploited. since colonial lies ation, primarily for export to europe, for the manufacturer of dies to context on this is an extremely important tree that was practically extinct. and now far as yours and today we're working on re introducing these pieces to our reforestation zones and the atlanta greenforest out . almost the monthly reforestation project relies on donations the work is financed by private individuals or companies that care about the reinforced computer program . as trying to areas for new for us of implanted since 2020 to the progress can be

seen online. on the screen. all the green areas show the farm land where we've already works. reforestation in a country where a powerful agricultural lobby as fuel jungle deforestation for many years and mixed woodland directly behind the nursery was planted. 17 years ago. the gold shop. i wanted to find out what a small 16 tier for us could do for the environment and commission to study the result. reforestation is worth while to the tiny florida stores. $180.00 tons of c o 2 every year. about as much as 100 medium sized cars produce while driving 100000 kilometers. their nursery has no planted 9000000 trees.

the germany storms and trunk of the forest made enemies. the best of all the university for sustainable development is in the heart of a difficult area for forests down trees. high risk of forest fire and damaged from past. researchers have their work contact for them to rather not adopting the missing information is collected and temporarily stored here on it's been sent by radio, temperature, humidity, global radiation, and wind speed as sent by computer to the office through the santana. and who boss will come to think of home. and last but not least, the forest damage is also documented by drugs all to better support the forest ecosystem. twos,

the researchers are trying something completely new. they've been invited representatives of the cookie and indigenous people from columbia. that as well noon for this unique connection to nature. monica hernandez must see you and carson ma'am. you are hoping to discover new ideas, the cruelty are sharing their expertise during a european tour and passing through a bus baldor for us in the swift part of the woods. this is still important that we have a science to clarify what is happening here. the dynamic of frequency stance, but there is other parts of the work with this is not needed because they have on the side of the understanding of their own environment. they communicate, we saw the part of themselves, which is not precisely the mind which is the hot light visitors arrive in the heart of the brendan book for us. 2 weeks later, the cookie, spiritual leaders,

known as memos, spend the 1st 18 years of their lives in darkness. so we can hardly imagine such an i'll bring anything. it's supposedly how the mammals become a tune to the natural world like a squat from the thank you, then i'm limited cuz it's the only speak their language has all the talking them, hey, i put in an an interpreter translates into spanish. scientists have come to listen to them because we speak of connections alien to our science. my energy fields, spiritual police is long for goal setting p k one. showing that however, the low cost, because organized the trip translates into german who's on the flip wisdom teeth, they say there is a sacred place somewhere around here that's responsible for maintaining a balance else, a place that contains that kind of blueprint of the eco system that regulates this area and they suspect that changes have a cut that and that have ultimately we come to the own regenerative power,

especially their next stop highlights one of the biggest problems facing german forests, the park between the spruce forest biggest enemy patio is not as bad as it is 8 and they way through hector's as far as across germany. let's just 1st the crew here quiet. but then their intuition leads them off the planned route. although the group tries to go left, the croupier drawn to the right to an ancient nice of oak trees. but the cruelties message is clear. this is a mother tree, the head of this area and should never be felt on it and i have not done. i have that when angel go ahead, unlike this spruce people, i love the, the trees that don't belong here should at some point go home. and if we trying to protect a spruce here to protect the trees under a tank from the bach beetle,

we want to succeed, and we'll even end up harming ourselves. i'm driving definitely the cookie spend 5 hours looking at the forest, problematic areas, tree damage, mono cultures and dwindling water resources of their comments are inspiring according to difficulties. what's happened with these but the 2 infestation that we so the was so but for our, for this, there is a natural process of letting the trees but then a belonging to the place not to stay there anymore. so for this way of looking, it's a natural process that is actually for cleaning the for this is kind of looking like a was and then the cookies are touring. 33 sites and you are primarily in germany and switzerland. and people are listening at this university

to taking a holistic view of the connections and the natural world is the only way to find the right solution. the . these 3 are working on an unusual project that the half of the clinic korean last as a journalist and convinced the directors to launch an innovative forest experiment . a tiny forest for people, birds, and insights on a small part of wasteland. next to a parking garage, they're taking a final it before the work begins, investigates on this and not totally sure, this is why it makes sense to take another look. there's still some pebbles that need to be taken away too. so holes could be, i got to be out and my thinking was i'm kind of, i just lost and you think accounting a tiny, far as like this will be done in a day. but it isn't funny because we, it's got his way live, tom know, was

a good amount of time. we've invested in it to him because i'm a good, just one of those. it's good. we didn't know it's in advance of as low as possible . it'll be what the said when the forest is finally that, and kids comply. and if you couldn't, you think it is. it's worth it to be at the supposed to be a machine gun and a small cinnamon we'd like as many people as possible to see what we're doing and plants their own tiny for us. so the towns and cities will have as many little, many, for us as possible in, in half up to most put in effort, but also in other places. some books is linked up with each other so that at least the birds can use the different woodland, right? i know a meter of dirt is being removed and half of as well as all associated degree truck spring and fresh top. so the look at these bits of charcoal, highly fertile soil need of charcoal done and compose the top, sorry, it was mixed with an especially for sal pelting, so it will co telestrator to create a homeless, rich soil that will help the new far as group carina last receive more than 21000

euros and crowd funding. and to spend countless hours in video conference, that's a tiny far his expert stuff on shots a is contributing his expertise to the project. he's not preparing for the planting and half of together with his girlfriend, emily, but for studies forestry. the cool find it the non profit mia? 2 years ago to spread the word about acute on me. yeah, lucky is tiny for us method in germany. they're getting more and more work on shots. i know ernst is living from the project assets 450 kilometers away. it's just one of many new tiny for us. i a for uh that's really good. you can really see the doc us, the terra print uh with the charcoal, your full pause of the fillet is. yes, that's definitely a good basis for the saplings as well as in some work for me. it's before the 1st

trees can be placed in the ground. that's on shots, combines nice of bushes, shrubs, and the seedlings into packages. i mean the but measures the site and divided up into sections for planting. 3.72 meters. ok hits then now the sections will be mocked with stakes and string met and then on to find them ended. see when i hang sections with groups compliant, the train senses it's planting day at a whole host of people have been invited to participate along with our children. the next generation can learn how to inject some green into the asphalt and concrete landscape. a tiny forest offers many benefits to urban

areas in the through is of climate change. it's remove sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and dust particles from the city air. the biological diversity of a tiny forest is 18 times greater than a natural mixed woodland shade. can provide a surface temperature up to 30 degrees in low earth and uncovered soil. and it lowers the air temperature around it by as much as 3 degrees. really excited be so what about watering in the future? in the house thing a tiny, far as it should generally be watered for 2 to 3 years, 5 years. but after that, no additional external inputs a needed a kind of input mess and also involve time effort and $25000.00 to use 4 months later, the hard work alongside the parking garage is already bearing fruit. passwords has its 1st tiny forest. the end result, a team from the opera might be tree. nursery is on its way to

a new project. medium profile and bugle. shasta are visiting a farmer with dwindling water resources. a tiny forest might be able to prevent the land from running completely dry. $20.00 to $80.00 trees, species are usually planted at random, perhaps their useful man. but then they are, there are many plants that grow more quickly to think of almost blunt, and they protect the ones that grow slowly. easy, okay. i was progressing my. there are those that quickly produce fruit to ask if on the food, the most attractive animal way up to your phone, which then spread the sea. so as they send me some default, i see this concept is really about protecting and restoring bio diversity. there's a who's thought out of your diversity that brazilian law calls for the protection of old river and stream beds with strips of white forest to prevent them from drying out. but many farmers ignore the rules and also need encouragement to follow

them. searching the proff no doesn't need any convincing resource station makes complete sense to him. see i see. uh, i think we see this in the medium and long term browser because the experience and practice has already shown that when we re forest it in areas where there were no trees, the warranty, every time i don't was a specialist has a volume, but people look at it and see that it's possible to restore, raise that, that it's better the after all, we're not the only ones with a lack of want to give me a thought that i went to the defects. everyone's under the golden mary on this battle for reserves and against deforestation is both practical and political. that's why they're regularly threatened by right wing populus and the farming industry. the sad story and everybody that's of his favorite treat. the native idle patio beagle shop has been documenting it for years. it was the perfect

word for construction and a major export to north america and europe. mainly for german immigrants here in southeastern presume that meant the regional logging on a massive scale. you have this license up the whole the wind to areas here have been long since 1937, 19651992005. the taxes and bonds are resolved. and these are reserves. that's also a small risk of states that are not present a few deforestation rates. it's a new hi. in recent years during the administration of former president, both on auto primarily in the amazon in green forest. but they never stopped planting new trees, reforestation, where others are chopping down trees. a successful campaign know supported by dr. catalina, they're trying to make good on past mistakes. catalina's ancestors were part of the log in her appearance of set out to protect nature and replant trees for catalina,

the reforestation program, it's a kind of legacy usually the or that it's a vocation and calling to observe this damaged environment. and to recognize that we must restore the far to give back to the world what my family and our ancestors. i'm had a role in destroying my thoughts for me as well. that was 3. 6 the, this is death on shot those 1st project outside of germany, a tiny forest and pulling the country's 1st i can, you should go to canada if you ton under husband nico, who their little woodland will inspire others see initially hope to choose

schools and urban planners as well as politicians. yeah. haven't this so basically these guys, and it's give feel that there's not much woodland here for example, of attempts to advance and on the broken al associates and lots of agricultural land. but that also needs this kind of natural island in the fall, lynn system to offer protection from wind desiccation and soil erosion is and as well as being a good way to store water and water. the advanced search by volunteers plans the last of the 4500 saplings. many for us are becoming more popular since death and shots are planted. the 1st we learned of its kind in nearby brandon book as well as a wooden pole. and he and his team are planted 14 tiny forest projects and 9 locations in germany. and i know the forest science has checks on the gross after a year. this is it's alice these

a say i collect from there you to grown this year since the spring be since opposite. you can see there's a little bit of color difference here and it's the same with many of the other trees. it's so nice to see a sense of in of the unbox quote, the growth rate is really high to we've generally found that more than 90 percent of the trees have grown in boxes on the conditions. and now, right for the, for us to thrive over the coming use in the next me on. so we're going to convert bolan's 1st tiny for us as now even caught the attention of politicians that concerns endeavors. oh dear, can believe which is tremendous to local assembly for this region. it now cops is embedded in the what interest him most is whether the for us could also serve as green ones for the nation cities. yeah, yeah. yeah, that's true. i mean, you can do variations of the method, but basically it's meant to to be a climate, the depths and method for

a cities likes in student to clement think on change right now. it is. so i just our job to promote it. yeah. you know, i'm on covers citizens about in may are split is something we're promoting. and i think that we will find a lot of followers will definitely the fact that it's so popular is definitely exciting. they should be planned to forest and then some important politicians come along for that. it wasn't like that a few years ago. yeah. yes. i think it's pretty cool and it seems clear whether a forest is tiny or as in the case of brazil, gigantic, every tree current in the fight against climate change, the

the, the truly ride the guide. no. the way around is strictly scientific truth. some pretty cheap places. curiosity is we tried tomorrow today, next on dw, the

one of main kinds, oldest ambitions to be within reach. what do you see? it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world. for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature, the more likes watching it. on youtube, dw documentary, the discovery stories, change your mind just a click away. find the best document is on you to see the world,

the subscribe. know to dw talking entry, the forest produce oxygen store water. i'm regulate the climate, but not enough of a surface is covered by trees. just 30 percent. many forest have been clears to provide phone land on climate change is also causing problems for woodland droughts, killing trees and encouraging wildfires in places like canada, rush to greece, brazil this time on the show, we take a deep dive into the forest on this future. welcome to maurice today. november of 2023 and there's fire in the pond to now. 2 the fleet.
