hello welcome to eco india a sustainability magazine that brings you face to face with some of the most pressing problems on our planet today and highlights the solutions to tackle that are sure to be focuses on changing ecosystems and changing societies and the impact they're bound to have on all of us i'm son coming to you from mumbai in india. over the next 30 minutes let's look at why the organization is studying autos in the coastal state of go on the soaking. what he says beans on so drastic changes in climate. and how a london based office it is transforming the ubiquitous standing into. but 1st let's turn our attention to an important yet neglected species in the fresh water ecosystems conservationists will tell you just how important autos are there

to an apex predator which means by being at the top of the food chain they keep all the animals that follow in check maintaining the ecological balance the altos on a severely threatened species however one organization in goa is working toward saving the same. from going extinct. on a ferry to korra a sleepy island on the monday visit for in the north of. secluded spot and for not intense mangrove forest and nestled among it is a surprising precedent. the elusive smooth tooted or turn on as we don't. i've been working in goa now for just over

a year and i think i've seen otters maybe 20. that gives you an idea of how hard it is to actually support an auto. wind or does research a wildlife research organization based in coral was founded in 2014 in order to study and walk towards conserving autres. the medium sized mammals inhabit most of the water a recent course larry yes of course. for the last 6 months tokenization has been tracking and they stimulated 6 to 7 or to family groups and coral. each group or system mated to have 3 to 8 members in other regions scoop sizes are believed to be twice or even 3 times that number. species that's hard to observe in the wild waters have mostly been studied in captivity into business crap white officers searches starting among other things

done in a stupor ducted behavior in the mangrove ecosystems wild and highly productive environment. in 2017 we have evidence of pups being born in me which is contradictory to all the historical data now is that because this is a highly productive environment where you know animals there's a fish to play throughout the you know and there's no problems with that is is that the reason they've they've had you know pops about them. i typically applied orders starts off looking for signs of water sites. it would be. if there'd be. you know any sort of definition there is any day in.

god on the service sheet you recollect the sound you want to bring them back to the field base. from field service camera not the big source of information and data collection. to find out for example in a given area how many. new authors have and how often they move between these. being on going to make a. genuine species with symbolic wind audience wants to raise awareness of the. misliked or to speak and balancing the system. give you an

example on. there is there's a number of. fish that go into the fish. and all alongside that was something. which was an intern used species and this be a species was introduced into the water because the kind of pretty it on. and then they took over the ecosystem and started actually killing the fish species and then autos came along and. even though they're not a native species aught as prefer them and have started eating them. that have so originally called system to recover however loss of habitat water pollution human animal conflict and the trade in far and body parts has resulted in the species being classified as founder of the on the international union for conservation of nature as regulus. they would. as well as.

the self funded wind or dust research organization has already taught water conservation to more than 500 people through internships walks shops and training programs. gives. the baby a new. treaty a wash up costs about 75220 euros or 60029000 rupees and it's not just scientists some of the people attending are just interested in orders from around the world. despite the threats to this little island of koraro seems to have become home for this unexpected inhabitants and the community hopes they will stay. now how exactly would authors help conserve the ecosystem the arctic and what would

happen if they cease to exist this explainer will help you once are those questions . members of the visa family c auteurs a keystone species that means deeply a unique role in the ecosystem without them it would change dramatically or even cease to exist keystone species for example may not be the largest or the most abundant species in an ecosystem but the almost single handedly balance the food chain they belong to and are often replaceable so what makes the order as a keystone species. by the hunted for that benefit the biggest in the animal kingdom c orders had been driven to near extinction by the end of the 19th century in the 1973 american marine biologist james estus did a survey of sea floors around islands many sea orders had survived and those in

which they had disappeared what he found was that around islands that lacks the op does that mean pre sea urchins had was the increase in size and number resulting in the almost complete disappearance off forests all that was left were huge urgency and abaddon sea floor but around islands vesey order survived the ecosystem was flourishing. so how do see orders balance money. in a cold ocean and moment see or does rely on the dens park court and high metabolism to generate enough body heat their preferred diet is an average of money in species mostly invertebrates like crabs clams urgencies nails and. all creatures that graze on underwater giant. removes the orders from a food chain and these grieving and water groups consume all the care in sight as

get disappeared there's a reduction in food for other marine beings and more. forests are key to the protection of course lines from storm surges and other carbon dioxide think so often call the daddy bears of the ocean the auteurs aren't just cute little. they are ecosystem superheroes. like all to us every living being is experiencing the justin changes our planet is going through every day climate change is real and one of the most pressing concerns of our time densely populated cities in particular are having to look at shows to slow this impact so what's the solution you've got us in spain it seems it's simply let's go back to nature. cradle to between lush ills and the mediterranean sea barcelona is a spain's 2nd biggest city. millions of people come here every year

not only to enjoy the city's unique flair but also to visit world famous buildings such as the cash i mean and this have a rather familiar both designed by architect antoni county. but now barcelona could also become famous for its green ambitions by 2030 the city council's urban ecologists are looking to create an additional $160.00 hectares of green spaces that's one square meter per resident. as well. it's a very ambitious plan that will take a lot of effort but local residents will benefit from these green spaces which will also help absorb pollutants and regulate temperatures that have been. a turning point that is much needed during recent decades barcelona's average temperature has

risen by more than 2 degrees celsius now the city is looking to tackle the issue with a change in mindset and a range of green projects at the central glorious square that involved digging deep the busiest traffic junction in the city has become a major construction site soon cars will be diverted into underground tunnels and to the surface will be transformed into green parks. we want to move away from the use of private vehicles and create an environment that makes it easy to walk or go by bike or public transport. one part of the square is already finished a welcoming all kinds of visitors eager to explore the perks of this soon to be new green lawn. smaller projects include planting certain flowers around the base of trees to protect them from pests providing shade for others and create

a network of green spots throughout the city. but a key player in the strategy to ease the effects of climate change will be an increase in the number of vertical gardens and the fountains of rooftops there were once a place where neighbors would meet to dry their clothes and habitat for one but another martine they are a game changer. but then the. bus alone as infrastructure is already built so it would be hard for us to fit in new gardens now. that. i think terraces rooftops and facades are some of the only opportunities that are left for us as a city. before the roof can undergo such a transition the structure of the buildings needs to be checked and apartment owners have to contribute financially to the project for the city or for a ts are choosing plants that are extremely heat resistant and only need a little water that ideally is provided by rainwater collected in tanks the new

greenspace can reduce the heat on the roof by up to 50 percent cooling down the apartments below and reducing the need for air conditioning as well as heating. oil much like to me cool it's basically like thermal insulation us the stones the gravel the soil and of course the plants with their particular structure work together to form a kind of buffer that insulates the building and all its surroundings. distill it over in. the green scheme is a major investment in the future of balsa luna that last year cost the city authorities at least $60000000.00 euros. the next generation is also making a difference. at this local school the children have been eagerly taking care of their new trees and the terrace garden. and they've developed a real crisp back to full nature.

you need to take care of plants because they also have feelings. that spend shouldn't kill plants because it just doesn't well it just doesn't make sense this is the problem they taught me about the different types of plants. and how you need to take care of them. one more having a lot of fun here it's little wonder with a so much to explore and the extra bonus of harvesting fresh food with no travel miles attached which is good for air quality. help to set up. the garden 4 years ago and provides gardening classes for the children twice a week he's proud to have created an oasis that's extremely popular and not just with the children. of the everyman every day more and more animals and insects are coming it's great we're generating life before this was all concrete and cement now

there's more life and we really welcome that. attracting more wildlife into the city is also a key goal for boston lowness green skiing parks are being changed from mono cultures to include more variety every small encounter is a sign that the face of the city is changing. barcelona is clearly a city in transition soon it may no longer be necessary to climb the hills if you want to get some fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature. so. this is about creating resilience spaces that can cope with the disruption that climate change is causing green spaces both private and public ones are really important and that's why we need to commit to policymaking that ensures the green areas in the city increase. if. you think it into

a rare and. bringing nature to barcelona is a huge undertaking but it will encourage plant and animal species to make the city center their home. shifting focus now to how us the psyche of 2 is witnessing a church and even using fashion entrepreneur is making sure the modern muslim woman in her country is not short of fashion options or trendy few jobs are closing the wide gap in a society dominated by western fashion. every time i do this story seychelle i feel that it's getting more like course focused and populist so it's strange how. journalist studies focus right now is on developing her business. 8 years ago she set up

a huge up an online shop that sells clothing designed for a muslim man and woman. when she started out the market was dominated by foreign suppliers despite the fact that indonesia is the most populous muslim country in the world she spotted an opportunity and got to work. the wares on display on the huge upside are created by $200.00 internation designers purchasing marketing and sales it's all run through the company headquarters in jakarta jarring lestari has $120.00 employees she wanted to start a business in a field that she was familiar with muslim fashion has strict rules with only the

face and hands for little to be visible for women. fabrics can't contain gelatin because it's sometimes sourced from pigs. and that's not all the you can't get the reality it's like. part one just are mostly face it's not only about how you there was like how we also. like concious about how we me so we have to be very careful about this is the you know all of the broke produce our own clothes how it can impact our environment. over the last 20 years the demand for religious symbols among indonesian muslims has grown substantially. and the island archipelago is home to almost $200000000.00 muslims around 90 percent of the population and that means plenty of potential customers for islamic style fashion. the story started wearing

a huge up head covering when she was 14 contrary to the wishes of her mother today she's doing very good business selling that same fashion in times past only older women would wear he chops but now they're on vogue among the younger generation showing off your latest fashions is very much part of this event for club members some of the guests post on instagram. egypt it's kind of and we get everybody. very very happy and easy to find. the. list early years one of the few women and indonesia's small startup sector she's also the mother of 2 small children. some investors weren't sure that the young mother could run a business. she often works at home so that she can do both.

joining list only wants to lead in a different way. if i meet the press was it will make this company. growing sustainable i think means i'm woman i'm not i'm not feeling that i'm the boss i was having that weird dream. and i can not do anything we know that make. and i'm not positioning myself as a boss but i'm pushing myself a year with. some of her stuff for now based in london setting up her e-commerce company there the indonesian entrepreneur wants to make her modern muslim fashion available worldwide. now art is what you see a london based design is using scraps of their name to create stunning landscapes and portraits let's find out why and how even the betty uses the ubiquitous fabric

to express so. this is his color palette and his raw material a gigantic pile of jeans even barry has at least 2000 pairs here in his london studio the artist is always searching for the right shade of blue for each specific work of art so it's not going to. mix there are basically going to go to find the right shade and because i don't use bleach or. dies on top i don't really manipulate is i've got to find the right shade of james to actually much and so i sometimes walk around here for. an hour free hours just fine but right pace. very uses the denim material for his large format photo realistic works from a distance they look like drawings but up close you see that they're collages made of hundreds of scraps of. the color the shading and the surfaces all come from the

faded washed out gene. every little piece i use has a different shade. so when you stand back it looks like a painting. and that's one of the best things about the works that people don't realize. locates the right shade he cuts off the jeans cloth into the size he needs and fixes it in place with a special. piece by piece the picture grows. the many layers make it almost 3 dimensional. and even barry is constantly discovering new facets of his material. years ago.

so this using we have. like. his fascination with denim began nearly 15 years ago when he came across a pile of jeans while sorting out things his earliest collages were portraits of famous actors from the 1950 s. . in the meantime he gets his inspiration from his adopted city london. the pubs of the british capital give him ideas such as a map of the city or the underground. he has devoted an entire series to london's laundromat. and you come into his places and people have these conversations and he is a hall of. over for a long long time. to see so many closing down so i want to document quite a few in london. first he takes a photograph of the scene his photo always marks the beginning of the process of

making a work. thanks to create a collage like these. he also exhibits in public spaces like here in the department store in london for 6 weeks the jeans department turned into a small gallery. in. one of the works portrait. it's amazing. to showing galleries and museums but it's also nice to show the work in different contexts so it's nice to see people's reactions and likes and obviously a mess just to give a different audience because not everyone goes to galleries. so if people coming here and say it's reaching more people.

in fact rather like genes themselves. i've never seen anything quite like that i hope you enjoyed today's show and had many takeaways from it do you have a comment on social media i'm tell us what you thought about today's stories we'll be back next week many more until then good bye.
