contact the car that used to green energy solutions and reforestation. they created interactive content teaching the next generation about environmental protection and we're determined to build something here for the next generation bloodline vs the multimedia environment series on t.w. . hello welcome to eco india this week we train the spotlight on change make us who are fighting the good fight by working on solutions to mitigate the huge impact human activity has had a lot on some of our own who coming to you from mumbai in india over the next 20 minutes while i'm reading conservationist is creating responsible travel experiences in the buddhist top of. our german company wants to revolutionize the

world standing in the street and how the indonesian capital of jakarta and we see him from sinking. but 1st to a story of surrender pretty maureen conservationist poor john mitra started working with dolphins by chance she learned during homework that not only oddball things intelligent but they're also highly emotional beings when she saw tourists and local with operators how the dolphins and disturb the habitat she knew she had to do something significant to ascribe to them the value they deserve. india's beach battery dies off as the perfect as keep the ego tourist seeking adventures on the open sea all year round and over the years the region's fishermen have become more and more indulgent of tourists. they've been. the main source of

income for most families in this region like sammy. the traditional fisherman of used to go to catch fish some years tourists would come up and say could you take us to the dolphins we used to take them and charts anywhere from $100.00 to 2000 rupees but we had no clue what a dolphin was used to think it's just another fish. in 2016 more geometric mitra a conservationist working to protect dolphins in the seas of north go up one of the big things we need to remember as humans and i think this is the underlying principle of my work is that we don't have a natural domination over everything around us everything deserves a life of dignity and compassion and has its own reason for being on the planet and it doesn't have to justify its existence to us unfortunately people expect

everything to be justified in relation to their morning everyone welcome to our ocean biodiversity experience mitra's started down our conscious especially to tackle that mindset and create responsible travel experiences to make boat owners like more avera of the environmental damage they could cause. i just have 4 things i'd like to say when we see the dolphin put off your engine stay paddle to the animal if we have to move don't cut this part of travel around it can we do these 4 things on the trip and said ok should be a problem you just tell me when you want me to do it i'll do it. with a few boat operators like morgan the fault it was in time to help tourists understand the concept of compassion a dolphin sporting mitra's travel experience or to this includes a detailed presentation about 3 kinds of dolphins found in go us borders how they

live how they communicate with each other. the money terror conscious earns is used to pay the boat operators and guides who are partnered with them and invested in educational programs the organization is hoping to expand and so do more to help the impressive indian ocean humbugged dolphins and other species whose numbers are declining due to the laws because nation and pollution of their habitat. to raise awareness of the problem takes the tourists to a sandbank after their boat right to collect garbage and clean it up for the dolphins and also for the birds that use it as a nesting site. and i must see every single guest who has come with me whether domestic or international has so wholeheartedly and with joy participated in the clean up little caves as young as 5 years old having competitions who can pick up more trash and really

feeling proud and gives who have gone back in their parents or texted me and said mike it is no longer asking for the straw mike it is no longer asking for small plastic dinky toys which can be recycled my kid has said they don't want to do high speed water sports because it's going to disturb dolphins and totals. $2500.00 rupees that's about $32.00 euros per adult mitra's trip to the dolphins could be called steep compared to the prices before she came into the picture. but with more and more willing to risk she's a bind here in marine ecosystem conservation at the same time she's creating a sustainable life for the region's fisherman turn to those boat operators hauling the decline in the marine fishing industry here. now the oceans cover 71 percent of the earth's surface and the who for such

a diversity. of flora and fauna but human activity has caused great harm to that what are some of these threats and what can we do before it's too late this explained will help answer that question. the world's oceans are home to an estimated 700-0021 1000000 species. but they face an uncertain future some marine species declined by an alarming 49 percent between 1970 and 2012 the habitats in which they thrive are all dying a slow death. what are the big threats to the existence of marine life today one major challenges plastic pollution over 5 trillion pieces of plastic have been dumped in the oceans when they decompose into smaller bits marine creatures mistake them for food. and oil spill like deepwater horizon has probably harmed or killed

approximately 82000 birds more than 6000 sea turtles and up 225009 100 marine mammals. overfishing is also contributing to extinction unsustainable fishing practices like drift netting and longline trolling lead to increased by catch causing a needless loss of species. but those threats are just the tip of the iceberg climate change is causing higher water temperatures resulting in acidic seeds and the police of coral reefs which are home to 25 percent of all marine species. almost half of the great barrier reef the world's largest coral reef system has been bleached to death since 2016. only 7.59 percent of our oceans are under protection that un has made it an aim to

expand that to at least 10 percent by 2020. the model of lead the industry has a huge impact on the local involved it's present to pollute the water with one human can quantities of industrial use that has been used and the people who work there are exposed to a host of toxic chemicals for prolonged periods the next story conviction lies is exactly how big this problem is busy. there's no escaping the stench that hangs over this village in a dry poor in india fresh animal hides are preserved the traditional way with lots of chemicals the town has then scraped off what's left of the muscle fat and has. then comes the actual tanning substances like slaked linemen salt turn the animal skin and to finish blood within a few hours chromium is the most commonly used chemical. it's dangerous work some of the substances can cause blindness if they come into

contact with the eyes. others can cause rushes even cancer. that's a big problem because the lever industry is a significant part of the indian economy there are about 2000 tonne a reason the country employing more than 2500000 people that makes india one of the most important letter producers in the world. the environmental impact is immense to process a 1000 kilograms of raw heights 500 kilograms of chemicals are needed and up to 50 cubic metres of voice for churchie relate if that gets into the groundwater untreated it can contaminate drinking water toxins can also spread to farmers fields. the indian government has recognized the problem and has taken initial steps to improve the situation in recent years it's forced some of the most polluting tanneries to close. not generalize one of the hot spots of the

indian leather a street the regulations fatalities are high but not all the requirements are always met a german company has come up with an eco friendly solution and they're convinced that big businesses like car maker b.m.w. would design an evil hugo boss will help because. in the olive groves of the mediterranean a quiet industrial revolution is underway more than $3000000.00 tons of olives are harvested here every year and what's left is an enormous quantity of leaves. broken being burnt some of these leaves are now being sold to a german company that cleans shreds and boils them down with water to create a viscous syrup and olive based tanning agent for leather it is even edible. for a few bucks right on all of lanes are in such plentiful supply we could currently use them in 40 percent of global leather production more than 700000000 square

meters that would be 100 percent of automobile leather 100 percent of our postage furniture and 100 percent of clothing we could switch over completely to all of tanning and even if there weren't enough leaves we could always use the olive promise or the black water like the waste water from all of the oil mills didn't start to cry for. olive leather as it's known it went green is produced just like traditional level. using what's known as a plug in system every tannery in the world could switch over to all of tanning immediately. it would spell the end of toxic by products like contaminated leather shavings. right i mean we can manufacture any type of leather and terms of the raw materials we have everything cheap goat cow came to rule anything we can also tan. for it's real

pretty awful. chennai on the western coast of india is one of the country's tannery hotspots the leather industry is believed to be contaminating the groundwater recently the government imposed stricter regulations on the sector the company gemini has gone further. it's adopted the german olive based tanning agent and now only produces all of leather. more and more fashion labels demand products that contain known chemical residues. have to figure out all university and a lot of research and development in sheared off. they won by our customer and also by ourself for making fast trainable another product as the new technology requires a lot of investment and cost out but it certainly does because here by our own 10 to 30 percent but we have belief there did we believe her death in the long run. in india gemini is

a pioneer in this field producing leather clothing for big brands like hugo boss the plant based tanning agent is not only environmentally friendly it also doesn't harm the workers. well that's i. have been working here for 15 years things have changed considerably since the tannery went green the safety the environmental impact and the working conditions have changed a lot. today india is one of the biggest textile manufacturers in the world and there's still enormous potential for growth measures to improve environmental impact and occupational safety a slowly coming to force. eco friendly leather turning could be a huge leap forward for the industry. in germany more and more customers are choosing environmentally friendly products olive tanned leather is available in all conceivable colors but it is

a little more expensive went green is confident that enough people are prepared to pay that price and that the clothing industry will respond it was only when i want the leather industry to be more open especially the fashion labels and to not just talk about sustainability or just put solar panels on their roofs they need to actively take steps toward sustainable level because it will help everyone you know well as i'm hearing more and more tanneries in mexico brazil and india and now switching to all of leather. now few of us feel that climate change is speaking of stored on our planet and in the not too distant future 9 major cities could be under water mumbai bangkok legals manila hawker shanghai london houston and the one sinking of the foster st. thoughts of the indonesian capital have very dry up for me to visit the rising sea levels for one but that's not the only

culprit who could residents headed depleting the water supply that basically creates an f. pocket into which the above it 6 attempts to go to this have proven difficult because almost half of those rely on groundwater but they'd be to be needs. it's been a while since anyone prayed in this mosque in north chicago the seed has known since claim to it. it makes gun sat every time he sees the building. thinking of this city is increasing. in last few years but you because you can. say their prayers here before they cannot. anymore. the indonesian capital of jakarta is home to over 30000000

people it's one of the most densely populated cities in the world and test a problem. the threat isn't obvious here in the heart of the city but it's severe. sinking. they'll grow on what is being extra very much and we lost our. sufferance and the soil it's become thinking we have. and then come along in this. climate. by a doubling. of the city because it's already. rising sea levels and sinking soil the city needs more long term solutions.

put on gun use to be environmental activists to come pain for the rights of fisherman now or d.c. advises the governor of jakarta and just part of a team working to stop the city from disappearing into the ground he's well aware that any single plans would have an impact on fishing. there are some 22000 fisherman in jakarta. these people harvest green mussels from the bait a local speciality they're cooked right on the beach. 4 years ago the city or saltiness began building a chain of artificial islands off the north and coast to slow down land subsidy and . they've learned to live with regular flooding but the new coastal wall would mean

the end of their livelihoods. as they want to know whether the coastal wall will disturb our access to the sea i say that even if it has benefits for the community the development plan has to be discussed with the affected community as you. put on gone once the fishermen to be part of the decision making. the covered market where they sell their catch is nearby. here too it's impossible to overlook the city's plight the market was only built 5 years ago but huge cracks are already showing. buildings in some parts of jakarta are sinking into the ground at the rate of up to

$25.00 centimeters a here. this major fountain in the heart of jakarta belies the fact that clean water isn't desperately short supply how if the capital's population draws its water from illegal wells and vast amounts of groundwater are used by the new high rises springing up across town that needs more regulations on. their waste management. the city is searching for ways to conserve the precious resource. preventing groundwater levels from further declining is essential otherwise jakarta will sink even faster and flooding will pose an even bigger threat. waste as another problem

in the monsoon season especially trash clocks are rivers and canals so waterways can't drain into the sea these days an army of about 12000 trash collectors work around the clock betting the garbage emergency. a number of components or settlements have already been evacuated and torn down in the name or flood protection. the company of tom cole was slated for demolition in 2015 the hearts were directly on the river and the inhabitants were supposed to be evicted and then they took matters into their own hands they've torn down parts of their homes themselves removing sections on the water satch the result is a striving peaceful community and to residents who take pride in keeping the neighborhood trash rich. and there's now a riverside walkway that's

a comfortable distance from the water. the community also has the support of a team of architects who developed a sustainable model home for it's made of stone and ward rather than plastic and sheet metal 7 families live here. this is war house like the generals among them are going more met his wife and their 2 children. then before and i have window this is important because in the past i don't have. social responsibility sustainable water management the people often call have shown what's possible the community has become a model of clean and green living now the neighborhood enjoys state support even pull on gun hopes the or sororities are starting to understand that when it comes to ensuring the city's survival the urban poor in north and jakarta are part of the

solution not the problem. looking at sustainable city planning is more important than ever the swedish capital stockholm is feeling the week to meet this into reality the city is investing 2000000000 ovals to build a green this would be in the genitive more energy than water consumed by the year 2030 a box needed more for the entire work the district will have house of the bachmann and then create 35000 jobs people. this city district is getting ready for the future the royal seaport in the swedish capital stockholm it's due to provide 12000 apartments and 35000 office work spaces sweden's most visited construction site is a showcase for how sustainable building planning can work. for the climate friendly in. different ways so you can look at the end there jay efficiency for example they

are i mean they consume 40 percent less than the other buildings say in sweden in general they have a good the insulation we always use 3 layers so glossy in the windows you can also see the signs of the buildings with the buccaneers kind of running around the whole the whole game like this to try to say. every well save energy in every way. the new district in the former industrial area is expected to be completed by 2030 . the concepts being tried out here in stockholm could then be used to get other towns fit for the future and to help sweden meet its climate target of 0 net greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. stockholm or a seaport serves as a testing ground for how we have stuck all have their regulations on nuclear power

says in the lower we set targets for developers saying that you shouldn't use more energy than this in your houses you should use this tool in order to create more biodiversity. many details here indicate that this is an ecologically aware area. solar panels on the rooftops enable the houses to produce more energy than they use the cars parked on the streets are mainly electric residents are not provided with parking spaces in front of their homes and garbage collection is done entirely without vehicles. so in the area we have them system to collect the waste part of factious you can open the system like this. and just put the waist down and closer to live and when it's full. it indicates to the system that ok we have to have to meet now and that business plastic and then we start up the system

and we emptied the plastic and that's in the whole block in the same time to save energy of course the underground system of vacuum pipes transports the presorted garbage to the local waste treatment facility. paper and packaging is recycled food waste is converted to bio gas to fuel the public buses. many of the concepts you use here in sweden could function in other countries as well since kind of a lead when sun. rents in the new district are not cheap but residents may save in the long run on utility costs the developers say planning is key to making the sustainable urban project in stockholm both ecologically and economically friendly and. i hope you had many think will be assumed to be a sure to help you make an informed choice but

a sustainable future we'll be back next week with many more thoughts stories until then good bye.
