turned into tragedy. that's not the reason at all this is not the kind of freedom that we want. how did you become a deep way to islamist terror. you see so we're going to be more city has. an exclusive report from a destroyed city. philippines the sounds of violence starts. on d w. hello welcome to eco india a sustainability magazine where we read introduce you to change me people like you and i who are finding solutions to some of the most pressing problems in the world today. coming to us from india. this week let's look at how an

organization one bike is changing people's perception of the city's street on. one of the issues of doing to reduce their carbon footprint. and how to not project is making a board statement about every nation and climate change. what caused it was a story that has a brutal beginning but lucky a happy ending in the eighty's in the early ninety's or four hundred thousand stray dogs of mumbai were caught and killed most didn't mean. local n.g.o.s have fought hard to me this practice never brought back for more. which is in the forefront of this fight the norm go ahead.

when a board owners walks on the streets of the city street dogs unfeelingly greet him with a strong sense of recognition. many times to the surprise of passers by. as a kid i used to see dogs being taken over by you know dogs that were in our neighborhood dogs that we knew was on me or blackie and the months filed used to take over and kill them. really are lies that i mean why should this be done when there altimeters. something. for twenty two years artists in this n.g. the way fear of stray dogs have been working towards the alternative. being nothing

is happening nothing is happening here the law infection on every sunday one of the many routines they follow he just leave is to provide first aid to about twenty dogs in the forty area of south mumbai. you know. as. the month of full cooperation is to kill them because they thought that was the only way it could bring down lee bees or the stray dog population. for me of this twenty two year old journey it's a long term relationship and you know every time a dog passes over part of me and dice. on the. street dogs in mumbai would typically belong to the indigenous body happy to have had a rough history. even considered a nuisance and a treat because the potential carriers of the slightest.

in the early ninety's it was organizations like ours is that for target for their right to be treated humanely. the way to use to walk that dog used to be kept for three days by them one simple cooperation in a dog and if nobody claimed them to electrocute them so there we function is abuse to go and rescue these dogs. all in the group.

we convince them one simple calculation that figures of how these vets have not gone down the speed don't population has not gone down that lead does. an alternative approach is a scientific humane method of controlling the dog population which is what we call an animal birth control. what we call sterilization osprey and you know. it wasn't until two thousand and one that deceptive foods under the prevention of cruelty to animals act we did manage people who could go to steady my street instead. but the lack of infrastructure in

funds has meant that it has fallen the bone interviews which are often financed through missions and grants to control it means being the students in mumbai my wife was. was. really. the weight of no studio is a back seat it's close to three hundred dogs of. war. and we've been treating what this means is to have been a few it was trained dogs and few facts and so with and so that will prevent it from getting any maggots which is almost no and we've been keeping up for the last . five weeks and i think what the recall is three dogs surely not a part of the world health organization going to call them is that so they are looked after by somebody on the street the policeman the hawker the person

lives on the street you know so they are the ones who look after them give them names. they don't even know me so i don't. really remember dear how i don't want con cues from one such feeling but. make sure she. on one of the city's streets. she works as a housemaid and leads just enough to feed. and. but it has been easy. like that of many of the. dogs in the city. just. the

last few of them but. she has implied that they can raise the back lunchboxes to the dogs. to be me. a little. but there's a big response of it. all started then we wouldn't stop it we couldn't stop it so. said yes to it. we have not given them. more than that maybe.

by good. stead. so there are things that if these dogs are not full. because they are not so they realize that this is the best are we that you know the street dogs and humans can live live in harmony. now experts say that stray dogs try the indian cities because it's become easier to find food it looks like it's not to any different in germany either except it's white boards who wandered into the city's limits and often don't well back into the white german capital but now has a commissioner for wild animals and his primary job is to deescalate conflict

between humans and the cities growing up in by life. a wild boar strolling through berlin. is a vice we're not deep in the forest but in a large park where thousands of people are out and about they don't appear to be frightened of us. still the boers keep their distance dicky laughed is the city's point man for wild animals people often call them when they see a boar in the garden or a raccoon on the roof he knows where the various species like to hang out locals out for a walk tend to take the company in their stride. while the poor have been here for ages since i was a kid. when he got to know how to deal with them. coming towards me i walk towards them and they scatter. come front but now and over to where i live in the suburbs where used to them i used to run with the boys on my way home right now but

they still make me a bit nervous. so there are probably between two and four thousand and berlin. several other species also feel right at home in the city. these are species that have got used to earth and have adapted that's why this is there are various reasons why first the physical environment in the country intensive farming deprives them of their habitat or here they can reproduce with abandon. second in the city they are hunters a few to. see. on the other side of berlin and the tear proxy to leon battle is looking for hedgehog nests he's a biologist at the life institute for a zoo and wildlife research. i want to home. when he. made use of this tree trunk but he's not here.

in the third nest. hedgehogs go out at night and sleep all day but as we've just seen not always in the same place. in the room or hedgehogs in cities than in the country that's because our gardens and parks offer great natural habitats. the project he's working on is about how hedgehogs bats bores raccoons and other wild animals live in cities. not the ones in zoom enclosures but those living free. i mean is this like it's informed of our aims is to inform the public about the animals that might be living in their gardens and to encourage them to leave the creatures a little space and leave gaps in their fences so animals can come and go. that we can that's important if certain species are to survive what many people don't

realize is that because we've deprived so many species of their natural habitats their numbers are declining. back to the park where we met the wild boar in the middle there's a large lake. and it's not just humans who like to chill on it shores. wars aren't known to be keen swimmers but they are if you grew consumers of crisps and cookies. ron beckel this is like again both i really how come i have a look and as i it's not traditional it is really interesting to see the animals in the city but always happens always great to be able to show them to my son but we all know about the downside to not tell your kids i had a brief past they were in the garbage and they can spread disease. and stuff on the

floor i had no idea also works with the public that's really important because people need to do their part to enable the peaceful coexistence of humans and animals in the big city because africa is was even done in africa other animals say what hogs or elephants move into towns and villages and cause a commotion. australia has similar problems he said it will be initial we have to engage with both the supporters on the critics and having animals in our midst and we have to find a way to live with animals it can't be right to simply fight them off what are the many cities have blossomed into hubs of biodiversity it's often in the urban jungle that wild animals find what they need to survive and even to thrive. let's shift focus to one of the most urgent problems of the twenty first century india stop and emissions are still very low at one point eight percent compared to

the us is sixteen point the front of us is a most of its energy needs are still next by pool the dirtiest of fossil fuels will be getting to the east of the wife problem as in the world and the plan to double the pool of wood by twenty twenty is having a disastrous impact on the environment and on people our reporter traveled to china in the eastern part of the country the heart of india's corn belt. saw that the mother is seventy years old. she scavengers in the coal mines of. the british it is just nine. it to begin work at dawn every day it's fraught with dangers the corn has to be hacked out of explosives. once shipped them are badly injured himself while working. in the open cold pit is one hundred fifty meters deep. suffer three makes four to five crips each day.

just to watch out for the police who chase them away and confiscate the call. name i don't have a choice i have to do this work my parents are illiterate they've worked as laborers all their lives they can't do anything it's. that that is what's happening so i try to help them but only money i really don't like the work my heart isn't there then they get a few hours of work which is the equivalent of three euros that's more than what people earn here as day laborers of some thirty thousand people workers called scavengers. but they'd be a heavy price burning rockwall releases toxic smoke and gases causing widespread asked and respiratory illnesses in the area. carrier sits atop one of the world's

largest gold reserves. the try again to open pits and deep mines here account for a quarter of india's coal production. but the corn is also on fire. dozens of places below the ground some have been smoldering for more than one hundred years when underground mining first began most fires ignite spontaneously one minute rules in the expose called heat up. continued mining of the surface has opened up cracks that feed oxygen to the flames. the resulting toxic emissions have devastated the environment. the coal fire has destroyed houses and triggered landslides. that one has been campaigning for the rights of illegal cold workers like sub three of the rubble he says india is paying a huge human cost in its dash because. this government just doesn't bother right

now paul is very important it is very important for the development the massive cities. there but with them and at the cost of these people. among the human beings who are going to be deprived of water we when there's some of the other making older living that will also go. over trees determined to find a way out of the gold mines. scavenging also helps pay for college she goes there every day after work to ensure her dreams of getting a good child. don't go up in smoke. no alternative sources of energy are definitely the need of the hour especially in malaysia a country with high energy consumption and see this air pollution in big urban centers now the government is keen to meet in the country and its economy more environmentally sound but first it needs to convince consumers and it's hoping

a new equally bill will help i reporter to head to the capital city of kuala lumpur find out. if only it with this quick and easy to get around malaysia's capital city kuala lumpur. in reality rush hour looks more like this c o two emissions produced by traffic and one of malaysia's biggest climate killers but that's all set to change. for example with this electric scooter it was developed by the malaysian company. they're especially proud of the high performance batteries they designed themselves . the power

direct drive on the motto is six kilowatt the batteries that he uses for kilowatt hour. this is one of the technology breakthroughs that we have actually of so far not only comparing malaria i would say that comparing to the wall. the malaysian government supports companies that bring eco friendly products on the market like a clean mike. the financial aid in tax breaks supposed to help malaysia become a green a country. but over the past three and a half years only four hundred scooters have left the factory at around three thousand seven hundred euros they cost twice as much as conventional models. but i will be more though right now it's tough to go for their feet because the most heavily use. right now the biggest is kentucky fried chicken can't see if the are using it for home deliveries police been battling using a bites and we also have a local council and force one team going

a rope or calling the routes we have not. so far it's only for the fleet customers they're also already in use at the malaysian ministry of energy where manufacturers of eco friendly products can apply for support from the environmental incentive scheme it's being implemented by malaysia green technology corp with support from the g i said germany's international cooperation and development agency more than eight hundred fifty different products and services have already been accepted they carry a special label mighty joe green malaysia but private consumers still hesitant. to go to the market for example in looking at how much this costs in comparison of course so there is still a challenge there so unless we have economies of scale being can we can produce green products that skew don't we can reduce the cost. more and more companies want to jump on the eco bandwagon. but first the products are put through their paces for example here at the serum certificate. in kuala lumpur. serum awards its

own eco label which companies can use to apply for the mighty john scheme. with this detergent meet the standards. the company claims they support that use biodegradable so we're going to test on the bio degradable e t but then sure according to get some of. the sample is mixed with a bacterial culture. if the sample hasn't dissolved within twenty eight days the detergent twenty granted the label. leaflet. the criteria that have to be fulfilled for the eco label tailored to conditions in malaysia. not only with respect to health and environmental sustainability but also with respect to economic feasibility.

so that it has to because he didn't because he said that. that work on three may not be able to do. so we have to look into the situation not the quantity and the can read the. book. the next step is to establish uniform ecological standards by region. the german development agency is also supporting malaysia's neighboring countries indonesia thailand and the philippines. because the more people buy eco friendly products the better it is for the environment. now evolution is a universal correct and most times a solution on an individual level often watch desperation is to put on a mosque and get on with life but

a collective opt for change twenty one and it's mosque book project is getting people from around the world to use their mosques to make a bore statement and demand for change. indian cities are among the most polluted in the world poisonous smoke can last for days on end sometimes the sky is sulfur yellow even breathing is painful. activists in jelly are using art to highlight the problem. individually designed pollution masks. help raise awareness of pollution and climate change. plus book was launched by the ngo of change twenty one. portrayed gallery of more than two thousand five hundred photos showcases must book activities in

more than forty can trace the activist for full on the streets and visit schools. where king with local partners like sweat shop in delhi nearly one hundred workshops have been organized in recent leeds where participants learn about sustainability and how to change their behavior and live in a more environmentally friendly way. do you like them. tell us about. visit our website or send us a tweet. sharing your story. i hope to the story inspired you to be the change you want to see in the world with me back next week more substories each one taking us one step closer to the future
