the people of east germany. the music tent crowd clamors for german unity journalist peter limburg was at the scene. 13 years later he looks back on the time of interest and starts december 19th d.w. . all or some of the most fragile ecosystems are found where the ocean meets the land and no matter how fast the world manages the globe its carbon emissions sea levels are going to rise and 300000000 people will be at the risk of flooding by 2050 hello welcome to equal india the day we focus on the well not ability of pockets

some group coming to you from mumbai the state of get in line with 6 of the southwest corner of the indian consumer is the 1st to receive the onslaught of the more insulin shot was at the end of every year the visited a traditional of even community in central canada which last dones a flute handle would by its weavers in the debilitating floods of 2018 how the film dismissively into an object of hope will definitely surprise you. in. a game. the media that. he was the man. who beat this miniature dog has become a symbol of hope and resilience of the people of good luck who survived a devastating deluge that hit the stay. in 2018.

well it's called good and each one is made by hand from hand lou materials that were drenched beyond repair in the floodwaters. when they looked the fabric which was chlorinated and cleaned it still had stains and scars in it so and i could see that it was a true reflection of every man those days because there are way you go you could see stains they may be hard there's a scar. in august 28th in careless so catastrophic flooding that cost more than 400 people their lives and 5000000 people their homes and livelihoods. the weavers of the traditional handloom capital of gender among them suffered

damages that were estimated to be around $150000000.00 rupees or close to $2000000.00 euros it left them bad allies to. put on the radio all the equipment was destroyed they were broken to the point that we felt there was no way we could salvage them i was the one who arrived 1st and i saw the dire condition i remember thinking i weaving days are over. we would have to start from scratch and that was unlike. our own military record that i love the. gentleman's alarms traditional hand looms are made by around 500 artisans who for generations have been weaving textiles with a fine rare type of cotton yarn that is hardly found in india today. and i look. like a dear old roger who sings. to the rhythm of his 6 feet frame.

when the wife dangle money he waves a traditional male outfit call it john the monkey. that is completely eco friendly and has earned a certificate from the government of india. soon after the floods designer shot in the james got in touch with the weavers. supported by a network of designer friends she dry cleaned some of the fabric and also managed to raise funds for the community to its. board indeed for the society was that most of their confidence gave the rebirth you know some light of hope that you know there are people out there people they've never seen or heard of before who are interested in keeping to the muslim had a normal life. the problem they feast was on

a large quantity of the fabric and been damaged beyond repair and had become what. luxury meant and is one of the designers who came up with the project to make dollars from the fabric that could be saved they encourage people to not only buy the dogs but also participate in making them. these are the different types of dogs are actually made in 9 countries by at around 50000 volunteers they expression the decoration everything is different in me it's actually that makes it all the more you know beautiful people are very keen to be part of it because they feel that if they make one chip with a dollar they also have one for one brick in rebuilding. and the dollars even proved more profitable than the original fabric. if you buy. if if said if an

animal you'll get it $4200.00 to build a $1500.00 but you can make it on $350.00 from one side saddle and present a piece $25.00 makes it 1000 from a saturday so the saturday that was supposed to be burnt wasn't rating 1000 from one piece ringback. one of the $500.00 societies that contributed to the. had lost fabric was over 2000000 rupees 27000 euros in the floods. but the sale of the dolls gotten almost 350000 rupees or 43000 euros for the weavers in just 4 months they now take pride in their new identity. by living with the value of our work as the weavers of gen the mongol i'm but now because of she could be more people are interested in finding out more about us and what we do. i scared love prepares for climate

change and use floods again next year perhaps the chick could be dollars represent a tiny testament to the state's resilient spirit. any more construction here on mumbai schools could only prove to be a gamble global warming could drive a much more dramatic increase in sea levels than anticipated new research has found that we might be underestimating just how many people will be affected by the rising. the independent science and news organization climate central estimates that the number of people who will be affected by flooding could soon be 3 times higher than previously believed the new study predicts that by 2050 as many as 340000000 people could be affected by rising sea levels. indonesia's capital jakarta is sinking faster than any other city in the

world at the alarming rate of over 15 centimeters per year in fact indonesia recently announced plans to relocate its capital to the forested island of borneo one reason is the threat of disappearing under the rising waters of the job for sea . apart from evacuating cities several countries have engineered solutions like flood barriers and sea walls but experts are increasingly saying that nature based solutions are far more likely to help protect vulnerable coastal ecosystems. groups on the gulf of mexico have begun replanting the vanishing mangrove forests there. in india divers are helping coral reefs regenerate and around the world people have joined campaigns against overfishing to maintain ocean ecosystems. fees

and other efforts could give coastlines a fighting chance against rising sea levels. the guy was high but that's of the baltic sea between the land of the waves between fresh water and salt water provide the best possible living conditions for many animals and plants species however good is the agriculture and the fishing industry have damaged the habitats of the shallow inland sea not just that the sea eats away at the german island of. the man who was bought the sea is now threatening to divide the island into. this coastline is being repaired in a way that simulates nature several tons of sand a pumped out on to the beach the sand was taken from the sea floor further off the coast it will produce the 5 metre high son julian designed to be. checked this

stretch of baltic sea coastline. 2 years ago how awful storms caused significant damage the sea rushed in washing away the sun gene that used to be here and more besides. the 1st schmidt over the planning of the new strategy. part of the island of was a dome has always had coastal erosion because of the way the ocean current flows here and so to preserve the shape of the coast and the environmental there's a general plan b. down by the state government that we need to protect the coastline using this method. at the nervous part of the sea is threatening to divide the island into. the local fisherman can't go out to sea for 3 weeks because of the construction work they fear their huts which are right by the water could be washed away at any time.

so this work is certainly better than nothing but a longer lasting solution would be better. tiling or geotextile they would definitely stop the sea from coming any further after a storm you might bring in a bit more sand but that's it all this year costs money to start it might only last 6 months or maybe 10 years but no longer than that. wooden posts are also designed to stop the sand being washed away the final. things with plans to keep the sand in place nothing lol. conservationists like. believe this is expected the right solution. think of this is the right path to be taking. using gentle measures to preserve the coast by simulating natural processes and. sound is being brought back. to create

a normal sand dune it's definitely better than using concrete or stone where you just shift the problem to 23 or 400 metres further along the coast so i don't know if you know. the song. germany's baltic sea coast known as bowden also need protecting here too young says flat salt water meadows in keeping with the landscape sufficient the world wide fund for nature and another environmental group have invested 2 and a half 1000000 euros to buy the land and turn it into a haven for endangered plants and animals. they have an area of $100.00 hectares if this was farmland which you can still see and we're going to give it back to nature this will be turned back to salt water meadows it will provide a natural salt water habitat for grassland birds and coastal birds. this

entire coastal region was once covered with salt water and now there are a few such areas the german state wants to set up 100 square kilometers of additional salt water and i don't see the progress has been slow with many questioning why the flood wetlands provide sufficient protection against flood waters. when the wave rolls in this will provide a natural break and this area will soon be covered in water so when you have a storm the force of the waves will be reduced here as they meet resistance from this area and then. behind the meadows low level dikes provide additional protection to residential areas the conservationists are hoping the salt water meadows protect the coast and effectively and naturally. old. coastal protection. it is not always about the needs of conservation often the

driver is the money the brings it last year the tropical islands of the maldives in the indian ocean receive nearly $1400000.00 visitors new hotels and airports to accommodate them are being built at a cost to both mitchell and locals. can recall corporations and businesses all all this team to win no matter which government is in power. humans won't stop traveling and recrimination is the only way it will be closer to the airport right now so will there be more coming absolutely over the next 45 years you will have probably another $6070.00 resorts here. $150.00 leg or started developing at one still is so much of destruction sedimentation good that we've done which would definitely have

a negative impact on. the international airport in the most d.v.m. capital mali provides a gateway for tourists from all over the world then taken by boat to the resort islands that are just a short distance from the airport that provides a logistical advantage especially when storms hit. in just 15 minutes the visitors arriving crossroads a mega resort made up of 9 islands a night in one of these bungalows cost 650 euros 2 years ago this was just water satellite images reveal how the artificial islands suddenly emerged in the middle of the coral reef. 2 and a half 1000 palm trees were brought here from other islands if you didn't know you'd think it all develops naturally those in charge of the project are keen to uphold that illusion it's still

a natural island their fans literally came from 10 minutes away from here so ultimately this is still how are are for all the palm trees are from neighboring islands very off because they were developing something on the island say an airstrip or or a construction. the whole issue of artificial islands and repugnant to palm trees has long called the attention of the anti corruption ngo transparency multi. under a number of deals reached by the previous government nearly 60 calling lagoon surrounding the capital mali were leased to investors they are now building more and more artificial islands for tourists this means the need for palm trees is growing and they are in short supply as maldivian law states the trees mustn't be brought in from abroad why are these trees being transported to that resort. where

there is. there are so many islands reclaimed put the purpose of extending. for the people to live and. they don't have any plans any trees. transparency mall deaves says that tourism is given more significance than the environment the country's environmental protection agency used to assess 2 recent projects before they were approved but the previous government changed that. specially if you're consider the areas closer to the. there are a lot of. thing richard not. making resorts. rather than reassure we're focusing on our. 6 new airports were scheduled to be built this year and next to improve access

between islands the island of call her she was stripped of most of its mangroves to accommodate it's their port but most of the time it stands empty as it's not really needed the next airport is just a 20 minute boat ride away. activists like adam up to take to twitter to report on the latest building projects there using the twitter hash tag save multi-verse to speak out and engage with the authorities. i think it's a huge risk to beso economy on just the tourism industry alone in order for proliferation of tourism we're destroying the very thing which our tourism industry is best on. these coconut shells have spent 9 months soaking in the mangrove swamp to get them soft enough to gain fibers used for making rope. for $400.00 women on the island of cohort of pushy it's the only

source of income one that is now drawing up plans are afoot to remove the islands last month groves to make way for a building project 70 year old i should have spent most of her life making rope the 1st comment about 44 the airport was built a community was asked if we wanted to keep the mangroves and everyone said yes one of. the politicians simply ignored the residents wishes that's a problem people on the island of corrado have been complaining about 15 years now . their standoff with the authorities concerns this channel of water sand is to be taken from it regularly to preserve the beaches of the resort opposite it's standard practice in the mile deeds residents on the island to gain nothing from the resort but sand is being taken away from them. from transparency multi-verse

says the island is shrinking trees along the coast are dying as the beach is steadily eroding she's collecting evidence in a bid to give people here a voice but they're fighting a powerful opponent. the current owner is also connected playful with some of the leaders of this country so. if it would really be hard. for a small community like this to stand up and fight against it i hope that with the new year. come in they would immediately like stop all the. projects go but it's very sad that a lot of this project. and. if we want to preserve our environment we also need sustainable policy the indian. bad dolphin for example is protected but its habitat isn't the engine dead or conscious

is working with fishermen and tourists in the big events and introduce responsible tourism practices. india's beach paradise offers the perfect escape to eager tourists seeking adventures on the open sea all year round and over the years the region's fishermen have become more and more indulgent of tourist. they've become the main source of income for most families in this region like some mean more g.'s. the other traditional fishermen of used to go to catch fish some years prior tourists would come up and say could you take us to the dolphins we used to take them and charge anywhere from 100 to 2000 rupees but we had no clue what a dolphin was used to think it's just another fish.

in 2016 more june met a conservationist working to protect dolphins in the seas of north go up one of the big things we need to members humans and i think this is the underlying principle of my work is that we don't have a natural domination over everything around us everything deserves a life of dignity and compassion and has its own reason for being one the planet and it doesn't have to justify its existence to us a lot unfortunately people expect everything to be justified in relation to their morning everyone welcome to. experience medrol started down our consciousness is specially to tackle that mindset and create responsible travel experiences to make boat owners like more avera of the environmental damage they could cause if they're given. i just have 4 things i'd like to say when we see the dolphin put off your

engine stay paddle to the animal if we have to move don't cut this part of travel and bones around it can we do these 4 things on the trip and said ok should be a problem you just tell me when you want me to do it i'll do it. with a few boat operators like mordor in the fall it wasn't time to help tourists understand the concept of compassionate dolphin sporting mitra's travel experience or to this includes a detailed presentation about 3 kinds of dolphins found in go us borders how they live how they communicate with each other. the money terror conscious earns is used to pay the boat operators and guides who are partnered with them and invested in educational programs the organization is hoping to expand and so do more to help the impressive indian ocean humbugged dolphins and other species whose numbers are declining due to the loss decoration and pollution of their habitat.

to raise awareness of the problem takes a tourist to a sandbank after their boat right to collect garbage and clean it up for the dolphins and also for the birds that use it as a nesting site. and i must see every single guest who has come with me whether domestic or international has sought wholeheartedly and with joy participated in the cleanup of our little caves as young as 5 years old having competitions who can pick up more trash and really feeling proud and kids who have gone back in their parents or texted me and said mike it is no longer asking for the straw mike it is no longer asking for small plastic dinky toys which can be recycled my kid has said they don't want to do high speed water sports because it's going to disturb dolphins and totals.

$2500.00 rupees that's about $32.00 euros but i've heard mixed grass trips to the dolphins could be called steep compared to the prices before she came into the picture but with more and more willing to risk she's a bind here in marine ecosystem conservation at the same time she's creating a sustainable life for the region's fisherman turned to this boat operators hauling the decline in the marine fishing industry here. well i think to their stories highlight the increasing need for self-awareness is spent. when it comes to our roots in the environment we live it it's up to last to consciously devolves we inflicted upon the planet if we want to leave it to be higher for the coming generations i hope you have many more precarious too we'll be back next week until then good bye.
