follow me into a unique unspoilt wood in the middle of the amazon rain forest to local markets it's just in the cool sounds right and you can take flight or go for a hunt this is in most of what choice reality experience was created to inform people about the hidden beauties of nature because learning about the world we live in means understanding in better how 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 encounter a sense of respect for the among the city school children and now runs a fun curricular and an extracurricular program so that the children grew up to be environmentally conscious about us.

good morning to students at the bean negri primary school spend time every day in the school we've got here that and the vegetables they have planted. broddi just what you give them their tossed for the day the lessons are popular the distance i don't name. the harvested mustard today but you realize that while sewing something new greek must have got mixed in with the mustard so we carefully separated the 2 from each other whenever we 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 the. drug he just was going to give birth with it government schools in delhi 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 children 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 get should be separated. if we're teaching a child table and he's just right doing it whereas in the field he can do the same thing by sowing seeds and understanding the number of seeds that he's doing 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 i know that kind of

learning is actually happening though in the it requires a lot of patience 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 as a school curriculum since 2005 but the extent to which it is actually very is just one and others like her are seeking to address this issue she began her program in 2017. if they are all. the students are learning several different things from these sessions even things like the size of an area and the predator that's because they're doing everything themselves including putting up the fencing so they end up learning so much more from farming 130 and because it's hands on whatever they learn will stay with them with that basic way that you can really learning them but many. runs an advertising

professional just. to follow. the program she's developed for the children ranges from harvesting way and cooking the food to go to collect waste making compost and converting plastic waste into eco bricks. that remember right on sitting right now is the foam this is red you drop everything and it's all natural and organic we make our own composed in that box what they don't know why not. we talk a lot about coexistence in the schools the nature environment is not just for us to do anything and everything that we want to do that there are insects there that are birds and then we are farming we also realize the important. thank you did example that we saw they were ready to give that entire batch to the butterflies because we have other batches also very socially is growing so why

can't this batch be for the butterflies to lay eggs which will become caterpillar and finally again become butterflies so once you talk about that the children explain the logic of course exist and they're very very happy about having in fact that i was. so good just was also gives lessons on environmental of venice here children from the neighborhood are given their own little blocks of ground. to start growing food to stand she also teaches on how to produce daily things like soap or not to lip balm. in this way. to use keeping it fun and innovative is key to ensuring that the lessons learned you. for life.

growing up a trip to the museum was a day filled with. so much information. it's hard to believe that. some music using this new technology to make sure there is a world of to look forward to if you. like to be a cayman. amazon river. jumping around in this virtual reality installation purchase a. different animal. my favorite. and the way it's been done it works really well you get to fly through the rain forest by night with night vision it's fantastic.

you have to watch out for the spiders behind. her team at the interactive media foundation company designed the installation they 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. we wanted to create an emotional experience. joy that enables people to identify. with the animals and in this way to awaken interest in them and in the way they experience the world . and it's working we've had lots of people asking us is it we true that the poison dart frog sees those crazy colors at dusk. and you know that and how can we find

out more. far. 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. let's take another look at these wonderful 2 ranch alerts with eyes on the top not underneath the eyes don't point upwards it's looking straight ahead. biologist yano hoffman initially found a few mistakes to correct in the virtual reality installation. yeah i just had that is right as 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 does that is in. it so we asked botanical 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. 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 mike flying with the harvey you go through the amazon in virtual reality. let's give you a skill snack doctors are amazing creatures they've built back to the time of

dinosaurs and in 1968 a pair of russian doctor oysters 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 operating a lot of effort to preserve the species and most its population. this one. mainelli. this one if. you can see the. way 121 can pull. him out and the tortoise babies live at the anchor center for conservation of biodiversity or a.c.c. be in northwestern cambodia mahler's 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.

3033. of the. search string 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. 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. carving

and. you know something of the people something. 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 tortoise is 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. here we have always been and 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 it could be a finalist. for now though the tortoises still need the shelter of the conservation center and they need mao who is tending to them. they like to come in even plant a slightly put food even can. plant in the if they like to play.

perhaps this tortoise will be among the 1st released so that one day soon a new generation of elongated tortoises will be born in the wild. and there's a long road ahead to fully understand the effects of global warming some on so scientists are trying to find a lie at the bottom of the ocean a german research vessel frequently organizes research cruises for stools while these floating some of schools are helping ward and train exports of the future. a floating university in the middle of the atlantic. on borders students and scientists from 23 countries the german research vessel paula 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. how 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. started causing climate change 150 years ago and are still there right out of the mayan living c o 2 point 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 met hussein study c. and lake science in belgium in his homeland kenya many regions and already too dry so along the coastline there's a lot of soil erosion. there's also a lot of work talk of sea level rise so you help people living close to the sea so the homes. are the same time we look at sea surface temperature so kenya is a tourist the 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 palash down the students have learned that climate change doesn't stop at board is many have become fast friends they'd love to meet up again one day on the research ship next time as fully fledged climate researchers. 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 bedded in the past with the advent of new technology. foundation gives these artists a better future and the world climate friendly. a lot. less than the my he left school after the 9th grade it didn't bode well for his future prospects you know what today he teaches students sustainable cup and.

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 sentry alongside this scale. needed to negotiate decent prices for their products. are shallow was born out of the nonprofit who are shallow foundation in the wake 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

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 all stories today have left you with the court we'll be back next week with yet another interesting episode until then good bye.
