12:50 am
travel to mexico outside the town of. an old aztec planting technique is helping prevent flooding along the coastline. we can see that i think i see myself as an aztec that with no i carry the roots of my culture within me. if i've worked in farming since i was a boy my grandparents once grew vegetables such as letters on the sly and today the work is done by my father my brother and me. a cyclist pedaling to his part of a sustainable farming system established by his aztec forefathers 500 years ago. artificial islands made from modern reeds and separated by canals that typically 300 metres long and 50 metres wide to this day farming is done by hand with no help from tractors or plows. buckets to take the water and the mud that we need straight
12:51 am
from the canals and we transport it all in our boats. after drying out the mud we plant the seeds in the resulting soil it's a technique used centuries ago by our ancestors the aztecs and it's very efficient . if the. sile harvests the produce from his chin on power up to 5 times a year he sells the vegetables to restaurants in downtown mexico city the historic center is just 20 kilometers away. the chain on post one of the last remaining i wasted in the sprawling mega-city. 500 kilometers away on the coast of the gulf of mexico floor on this cruise is hoping 2 numbers will make her life easy. again she catches fish and craps for a living but today's count just modest she set up 20 traps which vince not just ate
12:52 am
craps. at the cia we have there used to be a lot more crabs here at this time of year there are already be really big ones but there was nothing today normally would have more crabs from the current comes but that's not the case where really noticing the change. for the craps finding refuge along the coast is becoming increasingly difficult due to deforestation mangroves have suffered especially heavy losses and have been depleted by over 30 percent over the past 40 years. that means the disappearance of a crucial protective habitats for local animals. these people are determined to revive those havens in a regional mangrove planting scheme nobody here is bothered about getting their fingers dirty. it's
12:53 am
actually kind of fun. you know. the men of building temples just as the aztecs did 500 years ago little islands of athenry to provide homes for the mind grapes to thrive in the good enough to put it on the market but we're using the technique because the land is so deep in the water the plant wouldn't grow without the support of that you know it would be blown over by the 1st gust of wind possible that. the mongery free forestation scheme is organized by similarly and her team from the pro not to or a conservation group. they initially had difficulty reintroducing mangroves in the coastal regions. they wouldn't grow because the water level was too high. and. it's surprising to see their celgene ampad technique from central mexico one that's being used here on the gulf to help replenish mangere. it's great to be
12:54 am
creating a link to our heritage and also that people from that region are involved in the project. migrates used to be everywhere. but they've now been replaced by postulate right up to the shore grazed by cattle in the traditional fishing region. throughout on this cruise and her family a pinning their hopes on the conservation group and the chin on because once the mine grey forests have been restored then all of fish and crabs should grow again as well flow and her husband and son took part in the planting project helping to reestablish the old ecosystem. me my mum make a doing it i was practically born in the water in the river that you know i never went to school well up in a lot of books but one of the few things i do know about the world is how important
12:55 am
the mangroves alarm. for us and the entire system for all the species for everyone and everything. will be basically built. back in the center of the country the suburbs of the capital have been creeping ever closer to the 2 numbers in recent years i sailed on the other farmers are concerned about their fields the biggest danger for this old method of sustainable farming is humankind itself when the wherever people go they pollute they leave trash everywhere including in the canal as we eventually they fill up and dry out and you can't row down the many more the canals become dirty. i mean. in the past i would like to see his children take over his chin on one day passing on a piece of that heritage.
