when you're on this side of love really the time to search the. fire for the troops out. time to over compound times. and connect the world. trying to. do every day is coming up ahead. finds. a life sustaining oasis in the middle of an unbelievable place where did and then added desert or even the idea of a settlement on the pool and try mars who means of always try to transform

inhospitable landscapes into places where they can drive this week we'll explore how these manmade or e.c.s. affect both nature and us humans this is eco india and i'm some of that water ladies total's frogs ducks snakes dragonflies and even minnows imagine if one has to create a code for all these species to try a group of delhi based scientists has created a wiki land which is an area between dry land and a water body in the north of the city to provide in the leases for the region's biodiversity let's take a look at what impact this has had. a. the main thing on today's to do list for show another gardener's biodiversity box is breaking water hyacinth it is a relaxing job but it is crucial for the survival of these wetlands in northern

chile. the water hyacinth may be beautiful to look out but they are a major best in india the accord to plants are originally from the amazon basin but are now some of the most deadly invasive in native ecosystems in south asia. yes a. german other bandied about that. the water flowing with the water from the yemenite it well the plant spreads very rapidly and tends to cover the entire surface of the water that stops on light trump an interesting down to the bottom yes. i do know all the plants tend to die and the in the water creatures including fish and other marine animals perish because there is not enough oxygen to survive sunlight. ok you need a meal and then it. all the work that goes into sustaining life in the park is overseen by ecologist dr for yards. after the delhi development authority acquired

the area in 2002. was instrumental in transforming it from the bottom land it was in to a thriving veteran ecosystem. anything even we came here there was a small depression we had we had i find it might it's one of these. guys if. we can you get an indicator that this is historic of a plant which has been filled up for sale to. me says to the subsonic if it is very high. i didn't know that about you can see that it was a bit planned once upon a time it was found. to reverse this process and this team took a gentle approach to landscape the 100 acres of land so that slopes and embankment garden green water and runoff and retain it. based on the

harvest and loads of the land to develop 2 distinct dots here each of which gets unique visitors thought this is for divers especially the birds. coming here they are divers and in medicine of atlanta you get a batter's and since last 56 years after its creation of that mclean where we have restored one of the beautiful forest community that is. it was. now every year. you get. many years and. some of the most productive natural ecosystems they don't just as bird habitat but also help in the maintenance of water levels that he was once dotted with these buttons that help recharge groundwater fires as well as old as flood waters every

year they also help unify the water and by mendel think the loss of vitamins is very closely connected to the water problems that face. residents and. right next to the biodiversity park don't have water but have to use how to extract water out of the ground they have noticed that the new wetland has made a significant impact. it's never. washed clothes. they never looked clean since the great lengths that established sometimes 2007. and within a few years of. looking dirty all the. ecosystem

biodiversity functions on its own but it also benefits from an occasional helping hand the gardeners are now planting german and arjen trees here to ensure that indigenous species flush they are better at retaining water and for the overall health of the ecosystem. even the least welcoming can be turned into a hole in the cord and last week for example the dissidents up always trying to push the limit the island of space budget and all the is one such oasis and the only moment an island in the teachin and american ship is now attempting the pink over he's growing fresh vegetables for the local community that lives without sunlight for 3 months of the. finally

a little light every day in winter the darkness here stretches on for months it's minus $25.00 degrees celsius and the ground is permafrost there are more polar bears than humans on spitsbergen. but one of those humans benjamin did mark grose herb's in vegetables here a pioneering idea. this form i think looks good too and then this 13. 4 the 4th one is on the table. then maher and his employee hagen harvest the crops grown in the lab as he calls this room. it has an almost tropical climate in the midst of a frozen wilderness and he's planted cress bezel and other plants that we go now off to remove the tower and. yeah yeah because we lift it from a plank 45 feet so yeah definitely. they're learning to farm in these

extremes by trial and error there's no experience to draw on then mark came up with the idea because he was desperate for fresh produce one day he even hopes to grow some tomatoes they would be the northernmost crop of them on earth. it's pitch black here by 3 in the afternoon benjamin is used to that by now. he's originally from florida but 10 years ago the ship's cook washed up on the shores of the ice. see norwegian island actually enjoy the dark season but so how do we cope with the light season is best to challenge but the dark season is very relaxed don't have to do too much but when the light comes back we get very busy and you have to run all of the time. whether dark or light vid mars business is booming he's barely able to keep up with demand and capacities are limited spitzbergen is located nearly a 1000 kilometers north of the next populated settlement practically everything has to be flown in including produce this other stuff but that's expensive and bad

for the environment to some greens for you. so big mark is trying to show that there are other options. and i talked to a lot of chefs who also have a receipt in this problem to do so given to me check it out. it's amazing to have this treasure trove. given back then jim and collects the leftover plant material for composting thank you everything today should take care of your good thoughts yes thank you. this isn't a u.f.o. it's the gardener's greenhouse in the darkness of the polar night it's 20 below in here but when spring brings back the light it will turn lush and green we have some days you know over there in the midnight sun there's sun in theory 24 hours a day so it just moves around in the sky and it can get like $2530.00 degrees in

here i really like to do some root vegetables carrots potatoes would be nice. german student on a capsule helps out with planting in the garden she's a little more critical of the settlement in the far north. it's been present is diminished it's kind of personally i don't see spitzbergen as a place where people should be living. because it's gone to such an extreme climate and it's so unsustainable to live here but there will never come a time when people don't live here so i think it's a very good idea to try growing your own plants here. but harbaugh says it's about more than just having fresh vegetables on spitsbergen. this techniques that we develop here can be used to grow food in this inner city it can be used to grow food on different islands so it has many. applications to other places as well so if we can do it here it can be done anywhere this is the most challenging place to do it. benjamin vidmar believes that if his ideas can take root in

spitsbergen they could grow practically anywhere. embodiment of destruction and pollution forces people worldwide to find creative solutions to sustain the traditional livelihood and indigenous fishing community in mumbai came up with the simple but effective idea by creating small pools of clean water for fish to breed unhindered in the city's most polluted. the meaty river today for live deborah pollutants was once crystal clear. there ever used to be very different if we flicked a few coins and we could see them clearly. a generation deny it coli and his family members of the coli ethnic group.

lived and worked on the banks of the esther e. where the meaty river flows into the arabian sea in mumbai. the 18 kilometer long river is the dividing line between the city of mumbai and its suburbs. 70 percent of its banks on both sides are occupied by slums for whom the polluted river is the only source of water. directly which lies south of the miti is known as one of the world's largest slums it's a hub for small scale industries like china and waste recycling. people throw all kinds of things into the miti river household appliances even

biomedical waste like used syringes and. they don't understand that we depend on this river for everything. i hope people stop doing those. plastic bag xanana so much other garbage that we can't even row our boats through it at times. our path is blocked by large chunks of garbage floating around. in view of the disastrous conditions the fishermen have taken things into their own hands using an age old practice the kohli's of dharavi have manually built their own ponds forming naturally enclosed areas. here they can breed and catch their own fish.

to create the ponds the fisherman have to remove the silt by hand and down the sea water that flows into the estrie at high tide the mother the no made one is right good but it's or i was born and 99780 have an tell their own our families had worked unrestricted and yes true ari so when the city's started urbanizing and more and more people moved here about land was reclaim to to accommodate them i mean one on there was no space for us to fish look at the 1st pans in the community were built than an in must this of the you to sort of little the pongs have wire mesh is that each entrants which keep out to the garbage flowing from up stream the mangroves 2 acts like a natural barrier the difference is stark between the innkeeper lack water of the

rest of the river and the lighter color of the palms where the fish are thriving. its fishermen like vinayak kohli who are making a difference at the grass roots. a long term solution however will be possible only once the miti is cleaned. the advantages of green havens are undeniable foxwoods and gardens give people food for physical activity relaxation or even an escape from the heat the spanish city of barcelona is taking action to create more resting places like this not only for people but also for in 6 animals let's see how. cradle to between lush ills and the mediterranean sea barcelona is 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 other both designed by architect antoni county. 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 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 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. 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 will once a place where neighbors would meet to dry their clothes and habitat for one but another martine they are a game changer back then that they come into getting at us a little bit infrastructure is already built so it would be hard for us to fit in

new gardens now that's what we're that's. 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 authorities 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 bringing nature to barcelona is a huge undertaking. 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. 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. deforestation and the loss of habitat of wild animals is a global issue often forest land is exploited and abandoned after many years of intensive cultivation leaving of soil fertility a couple of the western caucus proved that it is possible but don't such a way into a flourishing forest again. a new and pamela malhotra regularly check the camera traps it allows them to monitor even the extremely shy leopard. more than $200.00 endangered species live in their

sanctuary called the save animals initiative it covers 1.2 square kilometers of forest in southern india. it's the. life's work about 25 years ago the couple began to buy land here piece by piece with their own money. what was here and 95 were basically plantation lands or abandoned rice fields many areas were relatively barren of any type of tree cover because of having had coffee growing on them. today what is here now all of those lands have basically recovered they created india's 1st private protected area and reforested it on a large scale. this is what we have gone to along with poles and saplings and different going to preach that to me i mean he made

me do trees good desideria we have had a number of scientific studies done within the sanctuary grounds and native trees soak up much more carbon dioxide than the exotic stew so this helps to medicate or question the effects of climate change the man who are letting the forest grow dead trees also enrich the soil with nutrients. their pride and joy are some centuries old rain forest giants. they are fighting to grow forests in other parts of india as well they called on companies and business people to follow their lead. but all these inventive and also on dings don't provide the optimum conditions for exercise i'm sure many of you run on a window facing treadmill go for a swim at the looking for weeks if you don't have access to

a leak or the sea the danish capital of copenhagen has conducted a trash living facility into well a ski slope let's see why and how. $450.00 metres of fun koeppen hill is an artificial ski slope on the waterfront in denmark's capital copenhagen and it operates without any snow so it can stay open year round. for a flat country with no mountains for natural skiing this 85 metre high slope is pretty impressive. if they were going to get you to the behavior sometimes it really quick sometimes it's the wind the behaves differently than the other so little bit like when the size of. the stuff. that. can ski is moving all over it so

maybe this is the new way of skiing in 2050 for. this unique ski slope was built on a waste to energy plant in copenhagen the industrial port facility but the steam here doesn't pose any health hazard this is cutting edge plant numbers among the world's cleanest and most modern. david zollo of the world famous architectural firm bianca engel's group helped bring the v. to life. and then we have 5000000 people living but 500000 people actually use a week of their vacation every year to go to another country they have to go through the know always all the albums in order to enjoy one of their favorite sports there's no possibility so now that we've been asked to do a building that is a mountain we wanted to give the people of copenhagen the opportunity to see in the

middle of the city. skiers can rent whatever equipment they need at a shop at the base of the slope and. then a conveyor belt in ski lift take them up. skiers and snowboarders can show off their skills on the slalom course or in the fun park at the bottom of the slope and the surface. feels like real snow. coming through. surface and that surface has. a lot of different materials and this was the one. skiing on snow the most copenhagen is one of europe's most environmentally friendly cities many here get around by car. now is meant to improve the quality of life here even

more the architecture bright idea of combining a waste to energy plant and a recreational facility one of the german sustainability award and koeppen hill isn't just for skiing enthusiastic hikers in joggers can follow a trail to the top of the entire area was built for recreation and bringing people closer together and we don't need a function of the city where you have people living in one place people working somewhere else factories in the 3rd place. everything have a much more. fun city but also. instead of you having to go everywhere with transportation just walk around and all. within a. landmark in any case it does make. even greener. well.
