the waterways and course larry yes of course. for the last 6 months to organization has been tracking and estimated 6 to 7 or to family groups in 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. that's hard to observe in the white voters have mostly been studied in captivity into business wild orders research is studying among other things done in history productive behavior and the mangrove ecosystems wild and highly productive environment.
12:34 pm
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 pups at that. i typically applied orders starts off looking for signs of shorter sites. this would be. if the. you know any sort of definition there is any been you make a lot of that on the service sheet you recollect the samples you want to bring them back to the field base. from field service grammar cops are not the big source of information and data collection.

kind of critic on. and then they took over the ecosystem and started actually killing of fish species and then autos came along and. even though they're not a native species aught as prefer them and if that anything that. 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 funder of the on the international union for conservation of nature as regular just. when they were targeted. as well as. the self funded wind or to say such organization has already taught water conservation to more than 500 people for internships workshops and training programs. for gas. being the new.

treaty of washup 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 trades 30 this little island of coro seems to have become known for this unexpected inhabitants and the community hopes they will stay. now how exactly would authors help conserve the ecosystem they are in and what would happen if they cease to exist this explainer will help you once of those questions. members of the visa family see auteurs a keystone species that means deeply a unique role in the ecosystem without them it would change dramatically or even
12:38 pm
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 it makes the order as a keystone species. vitally hunted for that benefit the biggest in the animal kingdom see had been driven to near extinction by the end of the 19th century. in the 1970 s. american marine biologist james estus did a survey of sea floors around islands received orders had survived and those in which they had disappeared what he found was that around islands that lacked the op does that mean pre sea urchins had lost any increase in size and number resulting in the almost complete disappearance off forests all that was left were huge arjun's and abaddon sea floor but around islands vesey oughta survived the

ecosystem superheroes. like all to us every living being is experiencing the drastic changes our planet is going through. 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'd ask in spain it seems it 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. and the sagrada familia both designed by architect antony.
12:41 pm
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. a turning point that is much needed during the. 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 involves digging deep the busiest traffic junction in the city has become a major construction site soon cars will be diverted into underground tunnels and
12:42 pm
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 to welcoming all kinds of visitors eager to explore the perks of this soon to be new green lung. 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 that once a place where neighbors would meet to dry their clothes and habitat for one better

novel martine they are a game changer but they look at the government they get in a tussle but buzz alone as infrastructure is already built so it would be hard for us to fit in new gardens now that we're that. greening our 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 but the city of florida keys 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 that particular structure work

together to form a kind of buffer that insulates the building and all its surroundings. to sell it to them 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 their terrace garden. and they've developed a real crisp back to full nature. does it you need to take care of plants because they also have feelings in the landfill so that's been 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
12:45 pm
plants. and how you need to take care of them. whatever passmore 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. while helped 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. every every month 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 possible owners green skin 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.
12:46 pm
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 resilient 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. 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 our

12:55 pm
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. one of the works is the portrait. for me as an artist obviously it's not the 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 everyone goes to galleries surf people coming here and say it's reaching more people. do. martha for all in fact rather like genes themselves. i've never seen anything quite like that i hope you enjoyed to be a show and had many takeaways from it do leave a comment on social media and tell us what you thought about today's stories we'll
