to you from mumbai in india. ahead of the show let's look at how one nonprofit demi instability heading green action among the city's residents if a board game can get you to be more involved mentally conscience and how a german animal welfare charity is attempting to change egil mindset in tribal tradition. 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 category of fortis with a less dense canopy this means that he continues to be one who would rich 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 holds.
2:32 pm
delhi is colorful and attractive around 19000000 people live here he stops to give me 1000 more people come here every day from all over the world delhi has the highest proportion of migrants of all indian cities but the sense of to see issues and connection to one's new and one seems to grow slowly. that is something that being behind the internet long dead the greens knows all too well they gain hardly any supporters for their environmental campaign for the young . so they have to come of the solution according to greenspan and go in saying. new life the city doesn't have a state or you know and then it's missing in one state corner cases and offer a lot of discussions. we're going to project back to the urban design project and the object of this when you go to the project is through big people who are living
2:33 pm
in delhi for 203040 years and big name one is when you go to 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 that he's going to approach it in compass is about $10000.00 hectares. for young. scientist support why does the ball when he started his work here in the land along the yellow not in the banks was bad news about me recently somebody asked me that. during the election and actually in many fist oh no political party has put the environment as a priority you have broader or your boss hospital you have lost micro government has given you everything but you have not miller that you need. you need to read dolphin should be jumping you need a very bad there are 72 piece of doctors in. that even we learned by getting bush
2:34 pm
you never asked so this spot is a please read it if you like gobin brings a lot of students and other people from the society they get to that 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 christians invited down. the deli greedo good night vision this found it going to be years ago it all started with the blog to this day go and sing growing it and it whenever he comes across environmental problem. in the 1st blog post 1st published in march 2007 and then it will be published on interesting stories you know gather momentum it's a drug i remember there was a common cement that inspired ingenue so there was a friend of ours who responded in the scene the professor and he shared the photograph of us already and then immediately asked permission and posted in the
2:35 pm
blog saying look a common palm civet spotted in any and then when i was going to for us picked up a snake and shared this information and for you the fact that you know how the park was being really showed the photograph and us and we immediately because permission and publishing on the blog saying look this is what it's all about it's not just you know and it's also about is by the it's not just people it's all to having biodiversity and. the blog 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 and. one fine day we were walking back to university from the field and we found that all the trees in the university had been numbered and they were also numbered in any brutal manner so the bark the old bark 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 various offices of interest to find out what's happening. we don't know who's doing this.
2:36 pm
so then they figure they're probably be fair and then. there's a thing about me. on. the blog about the inappropriate making of the trees and the plans to cut them down aroused people's interest that's how the university's management found out and halted the plans to cut down the trees. delhi greens and the lot of it have now made a name for themselves as experts today they visit a garbage dump in about an 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.
2:37 pm
trying to recycle. the problem but we were concerned about is the. amount of dust that is there. to action why the vet and information channel about environmental issues like delhi greens has read has throughout india. already about 1200 people have taken part in . the delhi youth summit on climate change and the campaign to promote segregation in projects. as you know was called and he's like the one oriental apartment in the north. where you. more materials are created from recycled wrist.
2:38 pm
always on the lookout for those initiatives which work for effectiveness management and once i finish it even if i was up to the moment we heard that there was one company which i said i've been to any and is now. and has made an. oriental apartments. deli greens is a nonprofit organization financed by donations and the revenues from its workshops . with the funding that my members try to make a little bit more livable everyday. now regular legal systems like the ones in the biodiversity park has a variety of plants and animals take 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 wetlands saw attractive this explainer will help
2:39 pm
you want to 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 the 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.
2:40 pm
ducted than other ecosystems the physical properties of heidrick soil in neighbor 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
2:41 pm
surface waters their ability to trap and retain water protects land against floods and the impact of storms of the 600000000 people are dependent on wetlands for fisheries and farming rice which is grown in what 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 year 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. now what of a real life situation we give you the option to save or to take any of that environmentally conscious decision various lobbies are working against you to
2:42 pm
prevent that from happening a fascinating give you that experience. as its core challenge is to strike a balance between protecting the environment and. interests. this game is about climate change and the politics involved players build black factories or eco friendly green ones one roll of the dice can ruin a. players economy it all depends on a card and the natural disaster it represents. it was important for us to designs a game that you are doing the 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
2:43 pm
a peek into the world of climate policy. classifies the market as an expert on the economics of climate change and one of the brains behind keep cool i was always a game into the just 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. and changes and serious issue but being afraid of it it's not the solution we need to 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 gnc on their studies the science behind toys and games. in his and i need your. games are a medium that allows us to learn about new subjects. in the learning impact is in
2:44 pm
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. is one of countless hosting balance on your science institute open. 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 enthusiasm from all over the world in english or in 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
2:45 pm
there is very different things in reality players also have to factor in rising temperatures just like in reality green factories are black the choices 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 i think we need to get the message that we need to do stuff individually that we need to change all behavior but it's the same time that we 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 illiteracy a lack of awareness and an absence of better new services for farmers in india's eastern state of it into their animals wonderful to various feed to the seizes the

2:51 pm
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 and then we cause less damage. than hours 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
2:52 pm
taught that people are responsible for themselves now you are allowed to ask for help. so what is diffusion of innovation tell. the american n.-g. o. rare organizes workshops for farmers and local politicians on sustainable farming methods. they cover the ins and outs of organic farming and how to market the new products. the aim is to restructure farming here. this is where the young pup or 2 years have a part to play. when they talk about think that this is only meant for the children but when it is parents and they. love to. this is a very powerful tool and long it's a very sustainable accords. and. i think they would do

2:54 pm
that 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 turmeric or 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 turmeric grow even when there's not much rain where. the big day has arrived for our young property is. that 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

2:57 pm
2:58 pm
. people fight for some. money out of luck when there's a flood the water comes up to your waist close fast to everyone but. why go for her is equally dangerous. you can see people not self so they can plant crops and trying to make the system. floods and droughts with climate change become the main driver of mass migration you could not write any up are going to notice you want and probably most of the. climate exodus starts september 5th on g.w. . they don't want it. yes you know i mean i'm a noticing guy and yes. i can promise you that. goes on and i doubt it is into
