sure you. do your sleep to dream of the. champs. elysee. future as you start september 2nd d. w. . e. hello welcome to equal a sustainability magazine the books the focus on innovations and solutions that hope you make an informed choice to live a better tomorrow every week we bring you ideas from across india and go to and the stories of the people who make them possible on sun coming to you from mumbai in india over the next 30 minutes public conservation facility even is creating

a platform for scientists to study the region's biodiversity we have a small village in job just talking celebrates by the girl child was born. and how an artist is using the leaves the highlight the need for an bodman protection. but 1st let's stick to india's best stone cuts also called the country's good the mountain range and its ecosystem is one of the hotspots of biological diversity in the world but an increase in human activity division like mining has had a detrimental effect a conservation facility is not only helping ecologists invite life biologists to carry out long monitoring in the region but also enticing tourists to understand and appreciate the treasures of nature there with. the. words. between the tri stude boundaries of goa are not

a crime are astra lies an incredibly rich biodiversity hotspot. home to tigers leopards and scores of other threatened species. it's silence broken only by the constant hum of secada as. a region abundant not only in a vast diversity of life forms but one also rich in minerals a dangerous quality for forestry in as it makes it a huge draw for the mining industry. these forests have you know piece of land in fact a lot of large portions of land which are not secure which are not. forests

but. in private ownership and there was one section of land which was very crucial because it was you know the birthplace of 6 or 7 waterfalls and was. mining. mining in india is open cast it actually. scars on. has. a history of mining has affected our forest in absolutely there were. only $21.00 of the time decided to start reaching out to people and his quest led him to others who believed in the same idea and to the region it was time to save a forest one challenge was to earn the trust of the villagers who lived in the for . artists the ones who would have benefited the most from the mining industry. are

going to meetings in villages. being asked questions in because that is supposed to be the sanctified speak the truth and you know being asked questions by. saying that minds will provide jobs. what is you know i don't know what will you give and we would keep telling them that you know this. directive that we would put away that. would be sustainable order can be exhausted that is when the idea of eco tourism took seed. they were all going on that you know it supports. something that will not. support the local community but also stand as

a model. the beginning of the story. today on the results operates 2 facilities will be a nest. and the company owns and protects about 700 acres of forest land in the western carts in keeping with the principle of minimal interference the results themselves take up only 3 acres on this sprawling property another 15 acres are used for nature trails the rest of the forest is strictly protected and only researchers are allowed access. the land also acts as a wildlife corridor or connecting beam go to wildlife sanctuary in karnataka to mothery wildlife sanctuary and to reserve forest areas in maharashtra. it's a northern because we are doing a constant and regular camera trapping for almost 56 years now we know what is the

time. and when is the time when the females from. the resorts only employed local villagers who are then trained in various departments. like the way. the camera trap expert. started here he knew nothing about species protection. focus on and study camera trapping in birding birding involves spotting and identifying birds trapping involves collecting data identifying the animal and taking its photographs. at last check the results support 120 families directly and more than 300 families indirectly in this region empowering communities has also meant questioning egil traditions and overthrowing entrenched prejudices.

15 years after it began operations struck me as not only protected by the forests but has also clubbed poaching provided livelihoods and saved the catchment areas of 2 important tributaries of the mother river but challengers continue to crop up. the current process of monoculture plantations is at its worst. completely cut down no and rubber is being planted this not only causes a situation and can cause anything from flash floods to you know large scale the forestation. and water shortage but we're losing these forest and can never be replaced and it's to say incentives to form. water does not come from the tap it comes from the forest. this as soon as possible as

many people understand is change this is what we need to tell people and this is what our communities and our teams over here. are engaging with people to tell them that. now the west and god still have group forests which is one of the reasons why they had a biodiversity hotspot but this is a rarity in 28 of the world's last 3900000 hectares of forest are next explain how we help you understand what this number means. these seemingly impenetrable forests offers a glimpse of how wild environments can thrive when human interference is minimal. then known as primary or old growth forests.

are old growth forests and how many of them still exist today. a forest area is called old growth when it has remained unaffected by human activity for a long period of time. the oldest trees in these forests have been around for more than a 1000 years like the famous 10 in my u.t. or lord of the forest which is new zealand's biggest curry tree. complex natural systems like water and carbon cycles are seen in old growth forests simply cannot be replicated elsewhere. these trees capture vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere according to scientists 30 to 70 percent more than other forests they aren't as global carbon sinks by locking up carbon they play a pivotal role in combating climate change. growth forests are an invaluable source of freshwater and aid in the retention of think organic soil. today old growth

forests make up about one 3rd of the world's woodland but only between 12 and 22 percent of those forests are protected. once these forests are logged they can never grow back the same way what replaces them are usually 2nd reforest. these younger regenerated counterparts fall short of delivering the full suite of benefits provided by the old growth forests. that include supporting their unique and endangered inhabitants. in that sense old growth forests are nonrenewable resource like fossil fuels. if we lose the last major blocks of old growth forests the consequences will be devastating for biodiversity across the planet. now with more and more. cities in india a closing in on what was once the home of white animals on the outskirts of mumbai

for example sightings have become very common and germany too seems to be facing a similar issue with a population of wolves rising. earlier this year estimates suggested that there are $73.00 facts in the country farmers who are often the 1st responders in the conflicts with wolves with their cattle being taken out in the fix and looking to the government and environmentalists for some solutions to this problem. it might seem strange to think of wolves in germany but there are an estimated $300.00 just in brandenburg the state surrounding berlin they usually hunted dusk or at night silently and in packs and their number is growing. famines are all too aware of the problem the wolves don't only hunt wild animals but also livestock out on the fields and that is taking its toll financially for brandenburg you're going friends of the walls are causing so much trouble he's worried about his

livelihood. and i think the wolves are getting smarter. we have a feeling that they're going into the herd chasing them and separating the town from the. last 30 cars last year compensation is only given if it can be proven that a wolf is to blame it's tricky when the car just disappears or if it's still born because the mother was under stress farm was supposed to use fencing but that's expensive. the state authorities in brandenburg have responded to the farmers' plight they have authorized hunters to shoot wolves if as on friends farm they have repeatedly attacked livestock or a human being. animal conservationists are concerned stefan who has been observing a pack of wolves in his area for years and is convinced the situation isn't that

traumatic as long as the wolf isn't loued him with food it will avoid humans zoom of course or words for that if you see these fresh wolf tracks only a few hours old in 9 years i've only seen $15.00 or 6 times they're usually very shy they just observe us i imagine. wolves a most commonly cited with the help of camera traps. of their does the owner of the can turn because he heard the camera it's a black flash so he can't see it he's wary poyser says wolves should be allowed to live in brandenburg there is no need to authorize shooting them it's just scaremongering. the stray wonder this is an endangered species the few walls we have are going to wildly multiply up to 30 percent a year i can't listen to this argument anymore we barely have $1000.00 wolves in

germany. the brunt of the hunting association says that is still too many it says such a large predator has no place in an area where there are lots of farms it wants to see shooting quotas and more freedom to decide when a wolf is to be shot some hunters say just a single pack in any one area would be enough i. fear or want to pack is about 4 to 6 animals they can live sustainably or they can rear their young navajo it's clear to everyone if you want to see more worlds go to the zoo. getting everyone on the same page is going to be a challenge. but amid the bitter disputes between hunters farmers and animal rights groups is still quite hopeful that wolves do have a future in germany. was willing to work together until it's better

of. working with the hunting community like this is groundbreaking. every time you just get resistance down the wall shoot the mortars and i just shake my head. was for driven out of the country 150 years ago reintegration the animals in modern day germany despite the difficulties is a task only humans can do. shifting focus now there's a village in the north indian state of just planting the plants 111 trees every time a good child is born now this is extremely significant not only because the villagers are envisioning a green a planet but also because it just time has been one of the worst performing states in the country when it comes to 6 fish or the number of good compared to everything 1000 boys how did this mindset change because a closer look. at.

these trees have a very special significance specifically in honor of our sisters and all the articles in this village. the trees the present and life's not a symbol of course to mission they are now held in as part of the local community. they. yelled at. me made me. want to be. that my they don't get a leg of my village have trees in their names but this is not the case in the rest of country. they were planted by my mother so they are very special to me i want to them every day. i die of tread on my trees as i do with my brother to

celebrate them brother sister festivity and how much for your good i.q. my trees are just like my brother and that cuba they're. planting trees for cause after he lost his own daughter in 2006 when she was 16. our debt illustrated to him how little a girl's life is what an indian struggle sunstein it. made ability. this memorial is to my daughter karen who died of dehydration because some of the man. in her memory we started planting trees on her birthday. i'm going with what they've got every time we see her memory and it gives her energy and inspiration to do good deeds whether.

hearing people say to the bought off or girl used to be good news the girls were seen by their families as a financial burden primarily due to the traditional obligation to pay a dowry they were not suitable for walking in the fields rarely sent to attend school and write instead married off in rural areas of india very tough infections and other illnesses among girls was and is sconce because he high. unlike today a shocking number of baby clothes simply planty used to die under mysterious circumstances. mother remembers very clearly how concerned are just a decade ago. times past the bed and she used to be unhappy even they had a baby because girls could not study or get a job they would face problems they would we have is by their in-laws but now things have change to do the girls can stand on their own feet and refuse to be dictated to. and they're probably wild was the mayor of his village when his

daughter died he was off to bring about widespread changes including in the mentality of his need since then every newborn baby girl has been given an account comprising donations and government grants and return the parents undertake to send their daughters to school to wait until they are over 20 before marrying them off and to plant 111 fees on a new slant to. the people and this means the protection of our daughters water trees and wildlife and we provide niger based employment to the villagers. today the birth of a baby girl and group pantries considered a blessing for the parents the village and for the environment. and other villages the notion of closer to a new school is far from normal a school teacher should pass on he tells us. why wouldn't it be obvious that simple

but i have seen in this village that the opportunities given to girls are immense the girls are given priority here and they participate in all kinds of activities read that in home or at school one will have to buy aspect i was going to have to call me a. fundie come in with a gift to planting idea has now become popular outside the plan to use her and has been adopted by 150 villages in people country local server 200 times and treats turning brown and one into a far reaching forest in honor of the village girls. the humble leaf be used to create masterpieces of intricate art about it vs a spanish artist's delicate miniature words from ordinary lives to draw attention to his and by better message. there's so much to discover in a single tiny leaf. these filigree most to pieces with handmade by

spanish artist lord enzo montoya did and. he cut them into leaves harvested from trees and bushes. on the. gravel when i go into the forest even more than anything it's just i'm looking for peace and quiet. this is where my creativity really gets flowing in the movie and again which will leave. me here in spring lorenzo money where didn't go searching through the forest service. home province. for just the right leaves. technical draftsmen by trade he lives with his family in a village about 75 kilometers north east of madrid. their house doubles as a gallery for his art

a central theme is nature and people's bond with it. is especially drawn to working with the materials nature provides him. the perfect leaf doesn't exist. leaves grow in nature they've undergone a process of evolution. but it's precisely their imperfection that in my view makes them perfect. these works give little hint of the time effort and dedication that's gone into them. their own presses the fresh leaves and lets them dry for a few days. the leaves have to be dry enough that cuts don't smear or discolor and yet most enough not to crumble. the image stencil is attached to the leaf with fixative then he carefully worked his way around with

a scalpel cut by cut. i was inspired when i watched a caterpillar getting its way through a leaf. yeah but i gave me the idea to cut my own designs into leaves. over time i learned more and more and developed my own technique meeting. depending on the design it can take lawrence i did on several days to finish the cutting into the almost meditative work. 13 years ago i did run still worked in construction when he lost his job it's hit him hard but then you discovered his artistic bent. he started out painting in oils and they said began his leaf carvings. for him his and has been a journey of self-expression. is

assume one side of a leaf is turned to the light. and the other stays in shape. there's a similarity there to us humans no. one side of us is visible the other is not it's not a hard thing when i work on a leaf i'm in touch with a side of me that isn't visible. i suppose you could call it the subconscious mind . what a few things became clear to me and my talent which i'd never recognized before came to light. today that ends a man who i didn't makes a living as an artist. his works up published in design blogs the international press magazines and books. his words are also in demand with companies for green media campaigns leaves cleanse the air of carbon dioxide and produce oxygen making them an ideal symbol for

a healthy environment put it on sustainability and green ethics are very important . what i want to express is that human beings original bond with nature. today we've lost this sense of connection. because so not only if we humans manage to see ourselves as a part of nature that we can learn to respect our environment again. if they carefully preserved his obvious can survive 10 years or more it's like nature itself late to transfer train fortunately lorenzo montoya did on keeps turning on me with savant. i hope you enjoyed today's episode we'll bring you many more solutions next week each one taking us one step closer to a sustainable future good bye and have a wonderful week. rodin
