it's long this new studies as humans are causing bunch of fi populations to decline rapidly. the us to see that dropping numbers by 1520 years rentals reports from los angeles, laurie poster schmidt, 3rd thing, shell puck flashing. whatever we call it, the butterfly is one of the most beautiful and beloved beings in all creation. and a major new study shows we humans are steadily and inexorably destroying them. things are not looking good. we've seen a decrease in butterflies of all sorts. widespread common, 22 percent decrease. so for every 5 butterflies that we've had over the past 20 years, we only have 4. now. the study covers the united states between the years 202020 butterflies and other insects have been in trouble for years. but the decline seems to be accelerating scientist. point to 3 primary causes widespread use of

insecticides in industrial, agriculture, and against past loss of habitat, destroying the food sources and seasonal nesting areas. butterflies in habit and human cause global warming. insects are very sensitive to changes in weather and climate year after year, some species are near extinction. one of the most emblematic species are monarch butterflies known for their vibrant colors and astonishing cross continental journeys of thousands of kilometers to wintering grounds in mexico. and california biologist say they could be extinct in 50 years. the decline of butterflies is part of a wider di, off of insects, worldwide and analysis published in 2021 indicates that insect populations have diminished globally by 45 percent in just the last 40 years. a large scale

societal changes are needed to slow the designation of insects, including a switch from fossil fuels and different methods. in agribusiness, experts say individuals can help to that means increasing habitat. if you have a yard plant, whatever native plants you can to increase pollinators, butterfly species in your area. the loss of every species is a blow to the earth, intricately, intertwined eco systems. and the world with fewer butterflies means the world with less joy. rob reynolds, l g 0, los angeles. when i say from me, diamond georgia, you can find more information across my website down to 0 dot com. mm hm. continue say, and i'll just say are often hailed upon it. that's it. so that you can start watching the a ton is called me this policy is missing in the aging to set out his priorities

for the yes. how, who the world's 2nd largest economy. we have to recent trades heart. symposium. 5 is us and what direction will it take to manage the worlds fastest aged customers? special coverage of trying to send me to sessions on this one out of there. when you consider a plan at spider city, she a range of variety of life that exist on us. and then when you think about the threats to this diversity, what are the images that immediately come to mind? apolo bass stranded on a melting chunk of ok. maybe a loss way to be on this. deforest, perhaps stretches of coal rates, bleached and slowly dying, or is images are on the la. they are indeed evidence of by the states. but how that this is a supermarket. it seems counterintuitive. supermarkets appear as spaces of such a range and abundance. but look

a little closer and you'll soon realize they are in fact, short cases of the staggering impact of global streets. so having on the plan, in spite of the city, which is more than you think and valuable in more ways than you know, the a science diversity by the by the bio diversity by diversity. we hear the word, but what is it really me? no, no, i don't actually b o, you know, they're like, you know, come ok in a, b a either b and c. i'll come old body a particular the know what, who we kinda to had to to know what i know. so you know, some of you have shut off me in

a split incentive. i mean smithhaven nothing to me. this one, how it will have me if i had the effects us because we also are part of that by our diversity by it. or the city refers to the intricate mission of living things on us animals, plants in 6 micro organisms. but it goes way beyond just the existence of these different categories of living. things by diversity is the result of 3 intertwined features. ecosystem, diversity, spacing, scott, the city and genetic diversity. the more complexity, variety, and intertwining. the dense of the width of life becomes the more resilience we see in the living world. however, the loss is already mounting. in the past, 50 years, wildlife populations have declined by an average 69 percent. it's an alarming statistics that many sides say, is propelling us towards the 6 mass extinction on us. a phase when spc spanish much

faster than that can be replaced. 12 of previous 5 mass extinctions that took place of the span of the last 500000000 years, came of that as a result of natural causes. what we're seeing now, there is a phase of rapid extinction cools as a result of human activity. and one of the key drive is applied is released industrialized agriculture, industrial agriculture based on chemicals do right. 10 plus the abuse is a single biggest cause full bite of as the destruction. to bend on a shiva is regarded as one of the world's most for middle environmental us and food rights advocates. this targeting of divided this p. m. an interactive fiction. by that listing, the targeting comes from the red code division of crops for chemical ports, which means you have to grow only more, just because if you create a rate versus kind of a bunch of lines, then or reach,

you have to be exactly the same. that's why you do the po to be to vegetable diverse these 92 percent. and then this was done rich destruction, of habitats to rule. but animal feed and biofuel. in addition to the way the palm trees, the context provided was the outside the phone just in the last put too large amount of damage. the vincent just so with this is the phone. the song by that was the problem by that was to be what it was, the basic by them, single or be killed and outside the file. this system is destroying the habitats that allow why that was due to try and trickling the habitat of animals. also means you emerging infectious diseases, the viruses that will totally be part of the bottom of the animal. because the new infectious disease of this animal, they given me. if you want to understand how we go to this place,

then you need to take a step back in history because diversity is not something out global systems of production of very good. that whole setup for agriculture at mass scales, producing enormous volumes of crops that are predictable, consistent, and affordable, has seen us forcing nature to operate like a factory turning food into a commodity. there are 2 steps by which food has been converted into a commodity. the 1st was the pre industrial step, which is the colonial stand wetlands like mine were colonized and surrounded last of the business as a collins will be the property of england and rents. what collect $45000000.00 was promised from india 3 in the $200.00, he has a pretty sure, but it was the commodities that for a girl became create commodities rather than what nourished people. so the change of food as nourishment into food is a colonial commodity for treat. let's to time is of the last to the 2nd

commodification began. when can we go and we go to, was introduced in the name of the green ribbon. and thoughts systems were transformed to commodity production systems. the green revolution that then don was talking about was one of the most dramatic developments in agriculture, in the 20th century, from the 1940s on woods technology that had already transformed food production and industrialized countries. especially the u. s. was exported 1st to mexico and then beyond the western hemisphere in places like in bob way to keep focused on india and thailand. the impact was tangible within a decorative. so i'll think agricultural technologies being implemented, attention was focused on see and soil, high yielding crops that were easy to have as the machines were developed through skilled grading and genetic fortification. the slope was also supercharged with modern irrigation systems sprayed with pesticides and enriched with synthetic

certain lives. in the initial decades, it was hard to see the green revolution as anything but a success. agricultural production jumped policy more consistent on the price of food trucks and some places it actually prevented mass starvation. in fact, in 1970 the american agronomist to let the green revolution norman bold received the nobel peace prize for his efforts. it is true that the tide of battle against hunger has changed for the better during these past of 3 years. but the nice that shiny green machine was some really big problems when they introduced lucy, you know what the goals we thought is something we can bring to 3 l. c to the people, but they need the information. we received a letter and we found it very, very complicated, and these advertisements know corporations will have their own data. i'm calling

elizabeth pharma and former leader of via campuses and international farm is formed by 192 organizations in 81 countries she's currently on a farm in rules. and bob way, with the internet connection can leg. they want to destroy all that they literally people. i loved brooks, which i was just as a be growing for ages and ages. they will also talk to much of what g, lizzie, must have the use of heavy sized kidney cows fits flies, introduction systems because it will be damaged to the environment this flu. so lucy, acid doesn't necessarily mean we are going to reduce the map and see that loads. we have 200000 varieties of rice and media feeding bugs feeding the

animals feeding all the human. i'm going to return, it will only go into commodity. what this does is stop the sign of pitch chance. nothing goes back to this one and your land starts to get this or to find the transitioning out through production, navigating the drawers back to the on status west and by supermarkets and them just having these variations appetite, costa, g, a dot us is one of the strategy is best known environmental educators who is passionate about regenerated agriculture, food production, and community building. when something gets big, it also means it has to simplify, have listings, but more of them. and that's been solved as convenience. and so as a result, our food system has gone from hundreds and hundreds of spaces of plants that we ate

down to very few. and whether you talk about that in the realm of free will vegetables go to the, your average twice for food. and you know, there's 3 or 4 apples, there's 4 or 5 pays. if you're lucky, colin is reduced to the, you know, just a couple, a couple of space east and the title is a equally reduced to just a few. so, agricultural, just big chain pack and we grab a lot and get it from a place where we can grow it cheaply to a place where we can get the maximum profit. so vegetables was growing for flavor anymore. they would grind the transportability and to have that transportability that had to be picked up early. otherwise, if that was so, i couldn't travel the 100, sometimes 1000, sometimes even tens of thousands of kilometers. the system has basically reduced food to an item. and how can we ship that all items by successfully

for maximum profit? that means spring. if that means given getting can we goes to extend the transport lot. all of these things have combined to turn out food into a commodity by system manufactured and saved, and synthetic fertilizers are at the heart of this commodity based industrialized system. a small group of madness, multinational corporations co tv. uh, they uh, can china and b a s intersect phone and control key parts of what should be a primarily natural agricultural process. because crops are designed to meet certain requirements, a small group of spaces of selected at the expense of the office. the plants are created to be responsive to chemicals, and crucially, the seats are often designed to delete the hi you. but often from the limited

number of homicides didn't traded on the commercial proprietory seed market. this whole process has played a key role in destroying pups. spc stipends, according to the un food and act cultural organization. 75 percent of the world's corrupt varieties disappeared between $1902000.00. huge welts of regionally specific locally adapted crops, has been replaced by standardized motor coach. when you ship by the sea to moodle conscious, you are eating just the same to commodities for calories. because gallery became the major. nothing you know is how many companies controlling the seat and no one asked well, so it has the most important problem. but anything you pick up in a supermarket has really a process. even your sugar now is not sugar. it's high fructose corn syrup from jim

on. and this has on the one hand lips to the erosion abiding listing. you know phones out in the forest. but he just did do an erosion, a body of a seat, you know, last 20 years as chronic diseases exposed to the need to the past, the test against the soul. because the rich of your soul isn't done with see those returning your blogs are on that list as a result of speech, you're really not. she goes, so then we come to the universe of adver chemicals from pesticides to, to, besides, to said, license. the key ingredient in factory farming is nitrogen said lies which requires vast amounts of natural gas. and even sometimes coal to produce the problem is the message of this application of nitrogen fertilizer as a decades has damage to include nitrous oxide pollution. 6 nitrous oxide, by the way, is almost 300 times more pollutants, and carbon dioxide is getting deserted 5 because we needed the notes and the big

personalizes we will not be able to go to these some stick. personalizes will be menissi techniques. that means it's the same chemicals that we use to kill people in the consultation within 2 to be safe agents are just a few people in the vietnam who became lube aside to the same companies that to, to kind of attached to seats to chemicals. and they put people in the country, but then they adapted seats to generate, you can do, you need to bowl chemicals a good see, let me see and open the front of me is inviting. these as much applies to look with each that is a living economy. when you start to control the sea kill it's released. can you buy the say you're buying a system? and that system will name that say to the price price with a pre image in the side. so that when this a comes out,

this herbicides need. but they've also been modified into why this, that any seat on ease, you know, and if you want to plan to give the next 2, you have to go back. and that's a massive shift in history. and it will always be installed on it as well with down research. and we've done this for these reasons. and so this is a market operation because we have value adding and you type and you pay for it. if i'm in digit fama, we'll then already have the thing that the digital, the photo sizes in the seats. so as soon as the carpet, it's going to be the day a big wave was the petition with each other to price sale price now. and then same time i goes to buy, right? so the commodities, which is 4 times more. so people hungry because of the debt as they get hungry

because of the fort riley and the seats in pricing. both a globalized corporate driven agribusinesses. the tragedy of intensive farming is not just the low supply diversity, the designation of swell systems and immense amounts of pollution. it's that the food security that was going to be the motivation behind all this industrialization isn't secure, in most places west through the square and today hope you below because of most frequent heat waves was air pollution drops and phones. and as we called you, that contribution kind of changes also most fundamental model cautious as the boot collapse with one change in rain with one change in the months with one cycle. but the bite of a few of the seats, the peasants have, can see it through the cycle. and because the red bluff, dorman, sold over the bridge dogwood seats. so was reading this watch with c s photometry salience because logically,

the principal is established. diverse systems resilience model cautious to collapse and we are following the picture lambs seated right now. this is one of the by, as we get into badly where we just received a very minimal rain, full rolling of a good product. you've got a, we have to have something up to speed the menu. that's the height 6 days of the truck already. there's nothing one gets need between the k u. k e. is that the lucky? because the excel chevy t is with them look, think they have enough food to get the affinity of this is a crisis. it's a crisis. the crisis of a world dominated by a limited number of proprietary seats is not something scientists of taking mildly,

seed collections serve as insurance from the dangers of standardized clubs, strains, intensive farming practices, and increasing by it is there a mold and $1700.00 c, g banks around the world and the smell, but global seatbelt is arguably the most famous of it's been dumped. the noah's ok see that the city all the library of life. i'm here in spelled lot in the arctic circle. just 1300 kilometers from the north pole. it's freezing cold, it's remote and while it may not look like it, this place has a repulsive tree that holds more agricultural diversity than anywhere else on of. the seatbelt provides long 10 storage of duplicates of seeds conserved in gene banks around the world. the deposit taking place today is the largest, if the seat volts end in 2008, 170 boxes from 36 different c. thanks around the world i've been added to the

collection and that will bring the total number of unique species inside the volt to move in a 1000000 amongst us time to positive representatives from k live in on south korea. and the 5th us try the cherokee nation. all that happened back in 2020. i visited the book of just 2 weeks before cause it looked down again. and i spoke to a grunt of this, then seed volt coordinator, jasmine, as told for the last, the last of these farmers variety during the last 200 years. luckily we have seen banks that takes care of these varieties because then they have g and that we need when we produce these to you or i to adopting 2 times and find that the width of the time as drugs you found diseases and so on. with the us already experience in temperatures that have never existed before in the history of agriculture. it's important to understand that it's across on the front

lines as genetic by diversity is found out because of the need for a stable, predictable, and industrial quantities of produce species. a losing the ability to assess these on able to adapt to climate change in either way. if we do not have to, if we do not have the genetic varieties and genetic diversity within crops, we would not be able to develop regular cuz of the time at the same thing. we need more food, new plans to cease this of old. and then we need new varieties, and without domestic diversity, we will not be able to produce the food and we will actually them have tablets. so this is about the existence of humanity actually in $9091.00, then donna founded the organization they've done. yeah. which works to protect the biological diversity of seats. it's aims of rudely the same as the spell,

but see think, but the methods of different have done you collects indigenous varieties and say, some from extinction. in addition, the organization promote so clinic, finding methods and protects from is from dependence on painted seats. you know, the 2 kinds of seat saving. one is knowing that it's living, there must be life every day. it must be accessible to people. if there's a problem, you can only have see if you're going to see the 2 limitations with the idea of the sort of i think in a period of kind of a change that you know, with math and it did, it just started the switching this package but the big notes, i see 2000000 a 1000000 thomas gets a blessing to each other to exchange. but the package of see what's funny is what you want is the next generation of genetic modification, which is gene editing. you want the next generation,

a bunch of thing with just to general sequence, read it. you don't do anything with the see the files of the greeting, just to the general mac mac and say my 2500 kilometers in pageants. so those packages are fine for that. i've visited lots of savings, just find that sites. but if you don't know how to jim and i then, then it's kinda like just having reg thoughts that you've done, haven't wrinkled, flight applying. but each and every one of those st banks, the most proactive contributing is the growing of the seeds because we made those sites growing so that they adapting it to a shifting climate. so that's where that whole idea of growing and saving, growing and saving, growing, and saving every year. that's the incremental insurance, not just these cases talking to why and hype to the best in fifties bite of the city is the natural world safety net to safe god,

survival without diversity that can be no adaptation. and without adaptation. extinction is only a matter of time or industrialized intensive agriculture is just one part of the why divided us the crisis. but it is the most significant talk. edits. route is a fluid system, one that is destroying the fundamental elements that make it was swell seats and the cycle of life. i think we need to change the language around things because so much of it is around consumption inconvenience. and that becomes nice commodity and becomes an item. it's not at all items, duties at the very high value you guys, systems and landscapes and out planted. but it also takes a very hot going. so it is the most intimate thing we engage with every day. and we bring it into our bodies, and when we start to think about it with that level of care and concern,

then we'll give it the priority that it needs. and we'll craft a plan in a future that brings everyone together with st. twice, some pantry and a full fridge. human beings on not necessarily a destructive indigenous people have told us that we can be reached and read equals otherwise you wouldn't have 80 percent of the liability in the literal age of 25 percent of the land that interested me last week. we need to take a listen from that. you want to bring the seats, let's not get you to sleep. we do every country like indians, people relate to the as for living, the we the power then ship test to be. we've got to get off the fossil fuel think no, just press to deal with the same thing that came from it,

the mechanical things and ships to the part of the city thinking the by the sea of the mines and by the size of the couch is what a great rest of the city a relationship with nature as well as in violence and abuse, fossil fuel extraction, intensive agriculture, over consumption. it becomes quite clear. we need a reset, full hail, the planet, excuse how reassessing human kind place within the well is key to tackling climate change. this is a totally different world news piece of will leave me. we are house with nature no support from it on our 20. not on al jazeera from trade was to size make shift to us policy on garza and ukraine. president donald trump is shaking up global politics. rigorous debates on the flint seen questions upfront.

cut through the headlines to challenge conventional wisdom on the 14th anniversary of the city and revolution. the phone of the outside regime associated in a new era as syrians rebuild their nation in a wheel and is ready to make it discovers of palestinian film archive fees from the piano in 1982. that raises important questions about palestinian identity. while the buffalo ranges on the front line, the diplomatic pursuit for peace is in crisis. however, critical moments ahead. in fact, the ukraine war on the world order much on ouch is era. a weekly look at the world's tough business stories. how do you see that the relationship of china developing over the course of the trumpets illustration from global markets and economies? the big question here is the in still a safe haven costing to understand how it affects the nights. counting the cost on al jazeera, the

challenges with the the hello, this is in use our own alger 0 for the back. people live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the syrian government spends reinforcements to the northwest stopped a fighting between secuity forces and cassandra, she noticed k o, 16 people the us and ukraine is set to meeting sounds you really and next week to

discuss a framework for a piece.
