you. well you know what it is time all voices. go 77 percent talk about the stuff. from one party to flash from powers the big blue tarp this is where you are. welcome to the 77 percent. this weekend d w. follow me into a unique voice to put in the music of the amazon rain forest to local markets it's just in the cool sunrise and you can take flight 0 for 100. in los avoid choice

reality experience was created to inform people about the hidden beauties of nature because learning about the world we live in understanding better how little welcome to equal india that our quiz. learning begins when the a very young we see hear taste smell and experience the world around us as we grew up and environmentalist in delhi saw this as an opportunity to get a sense of respect for the among the city school children and now runs a fund curricular and an extracurricular program so that the children grow up to be environmentally conscious adults. good morning to students at the bean not green primary school spend time every day in the school we've got here that then the vegetables they have blunted. broddi

just what you give them their dos for the day the lessons are popular the distance i that may. be harvested mustard today but we realize that by suing something written must have got mixed in with the mustard so we carefully separated the 2 from each other whenever you make a mistake the teacher gives us several chances and also explains things to us so we learn and do better next time and that we don't want to. brag he just wasn't going to do books with government schools and under her program open classroom learning to farming the course is designed to run over 2 year cycle that can be integrated into each school's academic curriculum. this patch of land which the churned have lovingly name doesn't farm is a sandbox for the students it is

a sustainable space where they learn all about growing their own food living docs and free lifestyle and making their own informed decisions why should farming environment and education should be separated. if we're teaching a child debuts and he's just that doing it very as in the field he can do the same thing by sowing seeds and understanding the number of seeds that he's sowing in the field to learn about the environment you have to be in the field and learn from the field because soil and lawns can teach you so much more and that kind of learning is actually happening though in the it requires a lot of patients it requires a lot of effort responsibility and when he or she is able to do that that's when the connect happens. and vibrant education has been a compulsory part of india's a school curriculum since 2005 but the extent to which it is actually varies just

right and others like her are seeking to address this issue she began her program in 2017. if their level of book was that the students are learning several different things from these sessions even things like the size of an area and the petty meter that's because they're doing everything themselves including putting up the fencing so they end up learning so much more from farming $130.00 because it's hands on whatever they learn will stay with them with that if you see fit and you can be really learning them but many. runs an advertising professional just well left to follow her calling the program she's developed for the children ranges from how best way and cooking the food to go to collect waste making compost and converting plastic waste into eco bricks.

that remember right i'm sitting right now is the foam this is red you drop everything and it's all natural and organic we make our own compost in that box would then you know why not. talk a lot about coexistence in. the nature environment is not just for us to do anything and everything that we want to do and there are in fact there are birds and then we are farming we also realize that important. today the example that we saw they were ready to give their entire batch to the butterfly because we have other batches also very socially is growing so why can't this bad before the butterflies to lay eggs which will become caterpillar and finally again become part of life so i want to talk about that to children and explain the logic of cory existence they are very very happy about having him.

so good also gives lessons on environmental or venice here children from the neighborhood are given the blocks of ground. growing. she also teaches on how to produce. in this way. children in the last to use keeping it fun and innovative is key to ensuring that the lessons learned to stay with the children for life. growing up a trip to the museum was a day filled with excited to. get to see. so much information about fingertips it's hard to believe that. some music are using this new technology to make sure there is

a world of to look forward to if you receive them. what's it like to be a came swimming in the amazon river. a frog jumping around in this virtual reality installation participants can slip into the role of different animals. my favorite one is the vampire bat it's so cuddly. and the way it's been done it works really well you get to fly through the rain forest by night with that but night vision it's fantastic and. you have to watch out for the spiders behind. you know kruger and her team at the interactive media foundation company in berlin designed the installation may recreated $400.00 hectares of brazil's 2 mccormack national park in the amazon rain

forest it took over a year 7500 plants alone had to be drawn and programs the installation is now touring museums around the world. and with the knowledge we wanted to create an emotional experience that you can dive into and enjoy and that enables people to identify with the animals and in this way to awaken interest in and in the way they experience the world. and it's working we've had lots of people asking us is it true that the poison dart frog sees those crazy colors that. how do you know that and how can we find out more. the project required extensive research the internet provided the initial information to decide which animals that are native to the amazon would work best in the installation but the internet alone wasn't enough the artists needed input from scientists they worked closely with

biologists that berlin's natural history museum but once i was assured let's take another look at these wonderful taran shalit with eyes on the top not underneath the eyes don't point upwards it's looking straight ahead. biologist yana hoffman initially found a few mistakes to correct in the virtual reality installation. yeah i just had that is right the 1st time we saw the prototype of the island we noticed there were a few plants that don't exist in south america and certainly not in the amazon and is in. it so we asked the town ical experts to give us a list of plants that are found specifically in the amazon and that aren't for example from another part of south america. and then i stopped. staff here at the museum in berlin and understand the importance of using digital media to appeal to a new generation of visitors. here for example you can see what

food the dinosaurs ate and how they moved around. first grade student layla nor like approves. it because they're so colorful and were alive so many years ago. the museum recently began a project to digitalize most of the 30000000 objects on display here some are photographed which requires great precision others are scanned using the world's 1st 3 d. scanner for insects this involves moving the object $396.00 times so it can be displayed fully in 3 d. it's a huge game for scientists worldwide but also for visitors to the museum in space on the especially for school groups it's great to bring in these digital exhibits we're also developing our own educational apps that allow users to discover the local flora and fauna here in berlin so we're trying to use these digital formats

to appeal to the next generation and it's making many areas more accessible to younger visitors. raising interest and wildlife whether it's putting existing museum exhibits into digital format or using modern technology to create a whole new experience like flying with a harpy you go through the amazon in virtual reality. let's give you a skill snack doctors are amazing creatures they date back to the time of dinosaurs and in 1068 a pair of russian daughter wheezes even went into space but unfortunately some 60 percent of all top toys and totals worldwide are endangered in some cultures that even and harassed in traditional medicine scientists are putting a lot of effort to preserve the species and most its population.

this one. harry. this one if. you can see. a one to one to go. mouth and the tortoise baby's live at the anchor center for conservation of biodiversity or a c.c. b. in northwestern cambodia mali is the caretaker here and starts work at 7 every morning with a quick walk to make sure that everything's in order 79 in long gaited tortoises hatched here 3 months ago today they're going to be weighed and measured. for a period 33 primo. right about. here for so short of. the tool box contains nail polish in all colors of the

rainbow the caretakers paint the shelves of the young tortoises to help identify where in the conservation center they're being kept. the tortoises live in special enclosures that are open to the sky but with nets to help prevent them from predators. that's essential to their survival not long ago elongated tortoises were upgraded to critically endangered on the international union for conservation of nature red list. mischa meyerhoff is the a c c b s director he came here from germany more than 5 years ago to work on animal conservation projects especially ones involving birds and turtles. because there are about $360.00 different species of turtle including the land tortoises what many people don't realize is that when the next red list is published about 60 percent of all turtles worldwide will be listed as threatened endangered or critically endangered

there's a world wide turtle crisis right now the long gated tortoises are rarely sold in local markets anymore only one of the 14 turtle species in cambodia is not endangered turtles are eaten in cambodia and used in traditional medicine live turtles are also sold as pets. in cambodia turtles and tortoises are believed to bring good fortune releasing one year a temple is believed to bring a long life just to put a lucky few turtles and tortoises end up at a.c.c. be like this one it was also released at a temple. you know something of the people something. that. the team is about to operate on the turtle it has an injury inside its shell

for the moment the animal gets a painkiller. next day ma and her colleague prepare food for the animals 600 turtles and tortoises live here all of them from endangered species breeding them in captivity has proven difficult but the elongated tortoises appear to need just fresh air and food the rest they can manage for themselves so far hasn't been able to release any elongated tortoises into the. wild it's too dangerous the animals would be captured again in short order. that's why michelle meyerhoff is hoping to bring the elongated tortoise here this woodland is home to the last 5 large siamese rosewood trees in all of southeast asia one tree can fetch more than 100000 your o's this patch of forest is under guard which could also offer protection to the tortoises. i was going and do because we'd like

to release the animals that are sexually mature into the wild the ones that are 5 or 6 years old will probably spend the next few years carrying out research to answer various questions for example about their use of habitats then we hope to launch a pilot project with 20 or 30 tortoises that will tag with a transmitter and release into the wild so quickly before i left. for now though the tortoises still need the shelter of the conservation center and they need mouth who is tending to them. they like to come in even in camp they sadly put food even in camp. plenty if they don't they like to plea. perhaps this toward his will be among the 1st released so that one day soon a new generation of elongated tortoises will be born in the wild. there is a long road ahead to fully understand the effects of global warming some monster

scientists are trying to find a lie at the bottom of the ocean a job and research vessel frequently organizes research cruises for stories about these floating summer schools a helping ward and train sports of the future. a floating university in the middle of the atlantic. on borders students and scientists from 23 countries the german research vessel dan is on a journey to study the condition of the planet's oceans and what kind of impact climate change is having on them. some of the students study aquatic bio science. marine biology. on the ship they're learning things like how to take samples from the depths. sample

from the front a device but. we have no idea how to proceed. the probe is lowered to 5000 meters below the surface where it takes water samples in the oceans cold water sinks to the bottom and stops mixing with upper layers the water they retrieving last saw the surface hundreds of years ago that makes the samples very valuable for determining whether climate change is already having an effect far beneath the waves the aim of this research trip is to prepare the young scientists for climate research in their home countries the students learn things like how to calculate climate models how to determine air pollution based on the reflection of the ocean and how to analyze micro plastics polar research to pay to lead the on board seminar on climate models he says industrialized western

countries have a special responsibility when it comes to climate protection. we started causing climate change 150 years ago and are still direct answers to my admitting c o 2.0 and of course we have to do something to try to prevent it we can only do that together teaching is such a joy because the younger generation has to and wants to know more about this in the poll last chance labs the students test the samples for oxygen and salinity and identify microorganisms all parameters influenced by higher temperatures in the past 50 years the ocean has warmed by 0.8 degrees celsius with no end in sight most of the students come from countries where climate change is being felt mohamed atta and hussein study c. and lake science in belgian and his homeland kenya many regions are already too dry so along the coastline did a lot of soil erosion. there's also

a lot of well talk of sea level rise so you have people living closely see all the homes. of the same time we look at sea surface temperatures that touristy country where people come. to see the beautiful corals and climate change kind of affects us in terms of bleaching. during their voyage together on their poll last down the students have learned that climate change doesn't stop at board it is and many have become fast friends they'd love to meet up again one day on the research ship next time as fully fledged climate research is. there's a slow but steady shift in the work to bring back traditional knowledge in architecture construction methods and craftsmanship young artisans are now being reintroduced to local and natural materials and techniques much of which were better than the past with the advent of new technologies when the foundation gives these artists

a better future and the world climate friendly. you know you. mustn't the money for the left school after the 9th grade it didn't bode well for his future prospects you know what to do he teaches students sustainable cup and. me. with my previous jobs i would work all day but never have a sense of friendship and a feeling of pride in having i mean something there was no sense of purpose i was a deliberate and i had constant sense of disappointment today i'm a carpenter in the past i was unskilled after years training at car because i can

now make anything i must for. a roof anything. but here. are the other 2 in. particular yes. but my history now works as a trainer at the. skills already entered residential school in in the western state often good at out. of. those from around the country are dreamed here and sustainable craftsmanship often bought from traditional indian woodwork and construction. at the artisans live eat and study together for one year the school attracts dropouts from the formal education system.

over the year they learn carpentry and me simply alongside the skills needed to negotiate a decent prices for their products. or shallow was born out of the nonprofit foundation in the vehicle of the devastating earthquake in their region in 2001 which claimed 20000 lives and left millions homeless. once the rubble was cleared and the reconstruction effort began. opted to use sustainable materials such as staunch. pallets and bamboo instead of energy intensive industrialized materials like cement and steel. the number to go. to us or. was falling to facilitate our collaboration's and empower

sustainable building practices traditionally used by the local. the local technology that we use are inherently more eco friendly than processed material because there's no processing in war. carbon dioxide being released by users. so there are 2 kinds of eco friendly. indicators 1st is while producing that material how much resources are abusing and how much i missions of carbon dioxide that is happening. the 2nd is a violin you've reduced our technology on materials what is the energy consumption of the building itself. the whole notion of foundation has helped build close to $150000.00 homes and with many disaster affected communities in india including in good art jammu and kashmir bihar and the british helping

rebuild homes that environmentally friendly sustainable and disaster prove. to see very few or very less use or joy from the main source tree and we try to rely on the things that are available whether it's storing or sawyer or timber and if the artisans are also locally available we're not getting artists from outside and just makes it really cost effective. organization has expanded into affordable housing projects do including slum rehab it illusion. training craftsman and them and is a fundamental part of the solution to meet the housing needs of the growing indian population. change towards the better begins with knowledge and education i hope our stories today
