and gangsters a camp like all trains came in long ignorant the world you. know issues and people going to london born to marry. well ok our story. becomes a rule. must. start january 27th on d w. a . a life sustaining oasis in the middle of an unbelievable place whether in an added desert or even the idea of a settlement on the pool and try to read mars humans have always tried to transform

inhospitable landscapes into places where they can thrive 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 the water ladies totals frogs ducks snakes dragonflies and even minnows imagine if one has to create a whole for all these species to try a group of delhi based scientists has created a wetland which is an area between dry land and the 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. the main thing on today's to do list for another gardens biodiversity bug is breaking water hyacinths. it is a relaxing job but it is crucial for the survival of these wetlands and northern

valley. water hyacinths may be beautiful to look out but they are a major pest 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 of all the plants spreads very rapidly and dense to cover the entire surface of the water that stops sunlight trump in it drifting 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 your body. all the work that goes into sustaining life in the park is

overseen by you colleges dr for ya. 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 better ecosystem. anything even we came here there was a small depression we had we had i find it might get sort of these. this week you can you get an indicator that this is what you call historic of a plant which has been fitted up for sale. but says to the subsonic if it's very high. i didn't know that about you concede that it was a bit planned once upon a time it was found. to reverse this process and this team took a gentle approach the 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 in 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 the kind you get batters and since last 56 years after this tradition of that mclain where we have restored one of the beautiful forest community that is. it was. really a story now every year i mean you get. many. veterans are some of the most productive natural ecosystems they don't just as bird habitat but also help in the men tenants of water levels believe was once dotted with these wetlands that help recharge groundwater fires as well as. those flood

waters every year they also help unify the water environmentalist say the loss of veterans is very closely connected to the water problems they face. residents in. right next to the biodiversity park don't have water but have to use hand palms to extract water out of the ground they have noticed that the new wetland has made a significant impact. if . they never look clean since the late established sometimes around 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 garden is an all planting german in origin trees here to ensure that indigenous species flush there better agree gaining 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 spits budget the fall the is one such oasis and the only moment populated island in the beach and an american ship is now attempting the un pink over these 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 didn't mark grose herbes and vegetables here a pioneering idea. this one i think looks good too and this one tree. for the 4th one is on the table so then maher and his employee 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 see that we are now off to remove the tower and. head yeah because we lifted it from a friend who will 45 yes 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 no we didn't island actually enjoy the dark season but so how do we cope with the light season is best to challenge 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 of it 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 or some good news for you. so good maher is trying to show that there are other options. in the photo shops who also have received in this public good to. have been to check it out. it's amazing to have this treasure trove was given back then german collects the leftover plant material for composting thank you every country 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 day soon 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 ana ketzel 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 back kind of person only 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 technique that we developed 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 to find creative solutions to sustain their traditional livelihood and indigenous fishing communities 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. the generation denying kohli and his family members of the colli ethnic group.

lived and worked on the banks of the esther e. where the miti 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 maci is known as one of the world's largest slums it's a hub for small scale industries like honey 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 fishermen have to remove the silt by hand and down the sea water that flows into the estuary at high tide the mother going to make that butter i was born in 1978. have been told that our families had worked unrestricted in the us to ari. so when the city started urbanizing and more and more people moved here . land was reclaimed to accommodate them a new one and there was no space for us to fish the 1st ponds in the community were built there. and they must have the only the ponds have wire mesh is at each entrance which keep out the garbage flowing from upstream the mangroves to act like a natural barrier. the difference is stark between the people like water of the

rest of the river and the lighter color of the ponds where the fish are thriving. it's fisherman like vinayak kohli who are making a difference of 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 insects and animals let's see how. cradle to between last shells 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 all. to visit world famous buildings such as the. and the south africa both designed by architect antoni. 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 that have been. a turning point that is much needed during recent decades barcelona's average temperature has risen by more than 2 degrees celcius 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 involved 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. and 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 thousands of rooftops that will once a place where neighbors would meet to drive their clothes and habitat for one but another martine they are a game changer. but then the. bus alone as infrastructure is already built

so it would be hard for us to fit in new gardens now. that's. going on 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 and the structure of the buildings needs to be checked and apartment owners have to contribute financially to the project. the city florida keys 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 resilience 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 the loss of soil fertility a couple of the western caucus proved that a disposable but don't such a wasteland 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 in 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 also what we have gone to along with thousands of sapling and different going to preach that they move into.

trees good to save real. 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 forest in other parts of india as well they call them companies and business people to follow their lead. role because inventive in our surroundings don't provide the optimum conditions for exercise i'm sure many of you run on a window facing treadmill or go for a swim at the people with if you don't have access to

a leak or the sea the danish capital of copenhagen has good luck to a trash burning facility in the 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 you're going to get used to the behavior sometimes it's really quick sometimes it's no one's behaves differently than the. little bit like when it's icy. it's not. like. i can ski. so maybe this is the new way of skiing in

2050. 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 cutting edge plant numbers among the world's cleanest and most modern. day of the world famous architectural firm. group helped bring the vision to life. in denmark we have. 500000 people a week of their vacation every year to go to another country to ski. or no ways to . enjoy one of their favorite. there's no possibility so we've been asked to do a building that. we wanted to give the people of copenhagen the opportunity in the

middle of the city. whatever equipment they need at a shop at the base of the. 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 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. skiing on snow the most copenhagen is one of europe's most environmentally friendly cities many here get around. now

is meant to improve the quality of life here even more the architect's bright idea of combining a waste to energy plant and a recreational facility one of the german sustainability award. isn't just for skiing enthusiasts hikers joggers can follow a trail to the top. the entire area was built for recreation and bringing people closer together. a city where you have people living in one place people working somewhere else. everything. but also. instead of you having to go everywhere with transportation. and. in any case it does make. even greener.
