for the dream which. seems to european idea. but i'm going to stand up for you right here in panama and contribute to something important to know to succumb to. the future is your. second on d. w. . whole welcome to your destination for solutions for cleaner greener and a more sustainable commodity everything we introduce you to change make us people like you and i while making a significant impact to change our environment for the better i'm sunk that i'm

coming to you from mumbai in india just ahead of the show let's look at how a nonprofit demi is spearheading green action among the city's residents if a board game can get you to be more involved mention me. and how in germany animal welfare charity is attempting to change egil mindsets in tribal leadership. first let's head to delhi a city which has become synonymous with toxic air pollution the capital cities green cover however is only increasing even if it's only the open forest got to get it before this with a less dense canopy this means that he continues to be home goodrich biodiversity or flora and fauna one nonprofit organization in the city is making sure its residents are well acquainted with the natural treasures that he hosts.

delis colorful and attractive around 19000000 people live here he stops to give me 1000 more people come here every day from all over the one delhi has the highest proportion of migrants of all indian cities but the sense of p.c.'s and connection to one's new and one seems to grow slowly. to something the team behind the internet blog the greens knows only too well they gained hardly any supporters for the environmental campaign for the river so they had to come up the dissolution according to the greens found. new life the city doesn't have a state or you know and then it's missing in states or the places and awful lot of discussions. are going to project back to the urban project and the object.

of the project is through big people who are living in any for 203040 years and big name one of them experience showed them the many systems i was in that supported them and can run them and transform them into. the biodiversity park is one of the biggest attractions of delhi's to approach it encompasses about $10000.00 hectares . for young. scientists suppose watches the fall when he started his work here in the land along the you know not in the banks was bad it was actually he simply somebody asked me that. during election and it's only in many fist or no political party has built environment as a priority you have asked broader or your boss hospital you have asked metro government has given you everything but you have not miller that you need. you need the dolphins should be jumping you need a very bad. there are 72 piece of doctors you need to even be

a lot of maggoty bush you never asked so this spot is a please with it people leg open brings a lot of students and other people from the society they get to the question how to frame questions how to design a question because question becomes very important your life and in the scientific world also when you design and experiment you least many many questions and like to down. the delhi greens. found it going to be years ago it all started with a blog to this day go and singalong it and it whenever he comes across the environmental problem. in the 1st blog post 1st published in march 2007 and then it will be published on interesting stories you don't gather momentum it's a drug i remember there was a common cement that had been spotted and jane you saw there was a friend of ours who was spotted in there and seen the professor and he shared the

photograph and also many and then immediately asked permission and posted in the blog saying look a common palm civet spotted and and then when i was to. pick up and found a snake and this for information and for you the fact that you know how the park was being really showed the photograph in us and we immediately took it the mission and then publish it on the blog saying this is what it's all about it's not just you know and it's also about is by them it's not just people it's all to having biodiversity and i. love to become a campaign by page for an environmental action the reason. some things on his way home one day that he did not like it on. one fine day we were walking back to university from the field and we found out all the trees in the university had been numbered and they were also numbered in any brutal manner so this marking old mark had been scraped off and a number had been written on all the trees each tree had a unique number of course so we went to vegas on. try to find out what's happening

and then you don't know who's done this. so then they figure they're probably be fair and then the bridge is the biggest number in front of $1000.00. instructors and things that. are on. the blog about inappropriate making of the trees and the plans to cut them down arose people's interest that's how the university's management found out and hold to the plans to cut down the trees. daily greens and the luck to have now made a name for themselves as experts today they visit the garbage dump in about an hour just drive away from the city center residents complained to the organization about the down it suspected that the dump is illegal and that the people who live in the neighborhood at risk of developing health problems.

trying to recycle. what solution that the problem but we were concerned about is the. amount of dust that is. why the vet and information channel about environmental issues like delhi greens has read as throughout india. already about 1200 people have taken part in. the delhi you comment on climate change and the campaign to promote segregation projects. as you know was called and used like the one oriental apartment in north west. their lease is broken in

a district where new war materials are created from recycled rist. are always on the lookout for those initiatives which work for effective risk management and once i finish it even if i was. a woman we heard that there was one company. and is now . and has. oriental apartments. deli greens is a nonprofit organization financed by donations and the revenues from its workshops . with the funding the and my member lacked it was tried to make a little bit more livable. now regularly ecosystems like the ones in the biodiversity park has a variety of plants and animals big for example the red crested the large duck breeds in southern europe and central asia and makes its way all the way to delhi for the winter but what makes the weapons are tracked this explainer will help you

answer that question. is spread over a combined area of 12100000 square kilometers from the far north to the far south there is an ecosystem that is richer than even rain forests wetlands. they support at least 100000 species of animal. what makes wetlands the most productive among all the ecosystems on the planet. to appreciate why that is it's important to 1st understand what makes a wetland. firstly continuous saturation by surface or ground water for most of the year secondly characteristic vegetation with a question of plants thirdly a unique type of substrate known as heidrick soil. it is the sponge like ability of the wetland to withstand. different levels of water that makes it more

productive than other ecosystems the physical properties of heidrick soil enable it to absorb a higher proportion of nutrients that makes wetlands home to many rare and endangered species of terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals that are found in no other ecosystem. there is also a natural flow through and filtration system of nutrients a characteristic unique to wetlands it's these properties that help called grass in a salt marsh for instance to produce more plant material and store more energy per acre than any agricultural crop. healthy wetlands are crucial to all wildlife and humans throughout the world many birds use wetlands as a pit stop in their long distance migration many animals there to reproduce wetlands provide great volumes of food especially the species that form the base of the food where acting as natural water purifiers they absorb many pollutants in

surface waters their ability to trap and retain water protects lands against floods and the impact of storms of the 600000000 people are dependent on wetlands for fisheries and farming rice which is grown in wetland patties is the staple diet of nearly 3000000000 people what is worrying is that the world may have lost as much as 87 percent of its wetlands since the years 1703 times the rate at which natural forests have been lost not only a wetlands a vital source of biodiversity they are also a source of livelihood for one out of 7 people on earth that means protecting all regions worldwide where water mates land brings benefits for all for the environment and the economy. the water for dear life situation gave you the option to save and or to take any of that environmentally conscious

decision various lobbies are working against you to prevent that from happening well a fascinating can give you that experience keep cool as its core challenge is to strike a balance between protecting the environment and. the interests. of this game it's about climate change and the politics involved players build factories or eco friendly green $11.00 roll of the dice can ruin a player's economy it all depends on the cot and the natural disaster it represents . it was important for us to designs a game that you doings and socially best thing we wanted to reproduce the real world tension so when you have the oil industry card in the beginning you need to play for the oil industry to win while if you have so green growth card you need to produce green growth. when germany's climate politics are played out and where

german scientists are continuing to develop the game keep cool to give players a peek into the world of climate policy. clowes eisenach is an expert on the economics of climate change and one of the brains behind. the i was always again into the asked so i could see swings to bring it in if you look in the real world climate change policy is what's going on it's like a game. and as in the real world this game pits different players against each other. by the changes and serious issue but being afraid of it it's not the solution creativity to solve the problems we have and the game is one way. that can games really help us to combat issues like climate change and industry lobby the n.c. on their studies the science behind toys and games. it isn't i mean young again all the noise games are

a medium that allows us to learn about new subjects. in the learning in part is in direct because the point is also to have fun. when we look at these games and play them there's an emotional involvement. so it's possible that we take that experience with us into the real world. the humbled university is one of countless venues hosting berlin's on your science institute open night and events where researchers present their work new technologies experiments and games. there's also a mobile version of keep cool. students here play with climate enthusiastic from all over the world in english or in 4 other languages. the mobile phone gives you control over how to develop your city. i think it's a great simulation and it really shows you all the intricacies of different interest. standing in the way of climate change this is just. so maybe

there is very different things in reality players also have to factor in rising temperatures just like in reality green factories are black the choice is that and our climate change is one of the big threats we have in the 21st century and be every huge urgency to deal with this problem and we have lost too much time already but i think we need to get some message that we need to do stuff individually that we need to change all behavior but it's the same so if you also need to have political change going on we need to engage and cooperate globally in class and his team have funding to take that game to the next level they just hope it can inspire players globally to make a change in the real world. shifting focus now poverty. lack of a venice and an absence of better know the services for farmers in india's eastern

state of the shop at end of their animals one little bit of various fetal diseases the farmers off and rely on priests and quacks of the windage to kill their animals and german animal welfare charity w p g is trying to bring a shift in the mindset of the tribal areas of the state where the community managed program for long term improvement of the health of the animals. farm is what it about one of our cows it is sick and these animals are central to her family's livelihood fortunately a team of mobile rates has come to. the lymph nodes are stored and probably because of an infection so that is given an antibody conjecture. the vet did megan's came to our rescue they treated our sick animals there's no other animal clinic here. they treated my sick go give the animal medicine and now

all is that well or the reds are funded by w d d a german vulgar and you. travel to places where there is no where the studios of rodriguez where it is too expensive places like some of the village in the eastern indian state of. news their teams are i will have to spring farmers be a small fee for treatment as can diseases and parasites a common sometimes the animals need surgery the ritz gets this farm a spray that can create life over. in the decent 80 percent of rural households own livestock for many families livestock on an important supplementary income source it's a poor reason malnutrition means animals are vulnerable to disease preventive measures against diseases such as food and mouth disease which is widespread here

are. very eager to. keep livestock at home we had 2222 cattle washed away by the recent cycle and. we needed treatment for the remaining animals today i got mates in for my animals. a few kilometers away and. here the reps are training family how to keep their animals healthy. the b.g. is active in around 70 locations in odessa partnering with the local animal welfare organization. the poor country poorest areas of india so in this way or that we are providing right now to talk based on a modern serious ones. he will if yards away out of. here

in this bone the training has led to changes that he used to be that mosquitoes and flies made animals restless and got a disease. today mosquito nets keep the best out. are used to have cows and fields for farming but they were badly affected by the cycle. not. because money and. i had problems my 25 cars died. but the remaining animals are all help you today. animal health one fears like who come on a bit are trained and provide medical care once the veterinarians are gone the volunteers are given the basic kit with medications went and bandages. obligated then if any cows. have any kind of problem their owners call me and

i reach out to them immediately and provide medicines that. the w.b. g. has trained more than 40 of these animal health will interiors over the past year in india. nearly 4000 farmers have taken part in the training courses dealing with animal nutrition and care. with the new knowledge they'll be able to ensure the veldt for of the livestock and their own livelihood as well. can use a computer help bring about change we travel to the couple of us through teaching in the south of children here are helping their parents often farmers to raise that awareness you have the cultural method with the help of songs and one piece and the results seem encouraging take a look. just a few more stitches and this hand puppet will be ready. to start

a play these children are putting on tomorrow and they have to be sure they know their lines. the play was written by participants in a workshop on sustainable farming and the children contributed some ideas of their own. then we have to protect the forest they say by growing plants that are good for the soil because less damage. than you when you. an hour's drive away in the mountains the scene of a landslide one of many there's widespread deforestation here there aren't enough trees left to stabilise the soil with their roots they've been replaced by corn to grow corn you have to plow the fields but that loosens the soil which can then easily slip downhill. the nearest large town to just rami is cup of us 2 siddhartha gautama grew up nearby he later became known as the border the enlightened one he

taught that people are responsible for themselves now you are allowed to ask for help. so what is using that innovation tell. the american n.-g. o. rare organizes workshops for farmers and local politicians on sustainable farming methods. that cover the ins and outs of organic farming and how to market the new products. the aim is to restructure farming here. is where the young property is have a part to play. when they talk about think that this is meant for the good but where it is parents and they. are not only. this is a very powerful and long it's a very sustainable of course. and. i think they would do

a lot. back in the mountains my about jahi is the mother of garnish one of the young property is his at school right now while his father sprays his corn with insecticide he knows it's highly toxic but says he has no alternative. we know it's bad financial and for our health but we can only harvest enough corn if we use the insecticide. where the outside oh we had people so you know. the convince us it is not it necessary to produce. more hundreds are and his wife laxmi are 2 such champions they now make an organic pesticide with cows urine leaves and herbes it's a natural way of protecting their crops from a range of pests and diseases like. if.

they're still growing corn but now they also grow spices like ginger which don't require plowing that reduces the risk of soil erosion. the seeds are planted on the surface and covered with a little hay being america ginger the farmers hope to earn good money with their new crops one advantage is that these plants should be able to withstand the expected changes to the climate. we can see that the climate is changing the rain has become less reliable. but ginger yams and time rick grow even when there's not much rain where. the big day has arrived for our young property is. but 1st more talks about what he learned at the workshop. tells the audience how the new kinds of plants can help prevent

landslides. at least half the village has come for the event including my about johnny. carson ganesh introduces the puppet play. at the monkey complains about the destruction of the forest and the young girl in the cow explain how women can protect the soil with sustainable farming. a serious message. conveyed. that i didn't know you could also use natural. and neighboring as more about it. perhaps we'll try it. in the workshop participants sing a song they wrote themselves to inspire enthusiasm to pursue the changes that are so urgently needed to ensure that people can live here in safety.

i hope you enjoyed the story. and will be back with many more. until that the.

it. takes a person with a number for people and stories that make the games so special that you're waiting . for a few dollars for. a a. kickoff
