the corona outbreak has reduced travel and industrial production and resulted in a dip in carbon emissions so in that sense it's actually improving the health of the planet but the environmental impact of animal agriculture for example for remains massive. in 2016 global greenhouse gas emissions totaled $51.00 tons of which more than 7 gigatons were caused by meat and dairy companies. to meet the targets set by the paris climate agreement global greenhouse gas emissions have to be reduced to 13 gigatons by 2050 but if the meat and dairy industry continues down its current path its annual emissions are expected to exceed 10.5 gigatons with devastating impact on the climate in new zealand.

sheep farmers are coming under increasing public and political pressure. sheep as far as the eye can see and what looks like boundless freedom for randall aspinall he's the 4th generation of sheep farmers a new zealand south island. farmers have always been valued in new zealand they are the backbone of the country's economy. as appreciate she. says. nationals. chatter around the farm and seem to mount. climate change is shaking up this rural paradise sheep and cows are major producers of meeting they generate one 3rd of all greenhouse gas emissions in new zealand suddenly farmers are seen as environmental centers randall can see growing misunderstanding between

people in the city and in the country. as the city's new head cousins had a farm and friends that had a farm so most people probably speak on farms. that much as. that song. includes new zealand center left governments in this for example sheep and cows wading through rivers and possibly fouling the water doesn't fit with new zealand's clean image so many farmers now have to build fences along the waterways on their property. which farmers have become a political pawn says randall. in terms of. health it actually has been in opposition for long years sometimes it had actually run a country run a business strategy from strange. experience for me and so it sort of feels.

there's a lot of stuff and. the aspinall's farm is located near one of the main hiking trails in mt just spiraling national park it's a unesco world heritage site. i think the broncos wide allison sells ice cream of the spread so from a food truck here the family are trying to move into a better economic position. or i think about what. is right timing as coming there are more constraints environmentally and really just liason and things so i just looking advice to an alternative and common yes this is just a really small stash towards the. law i'm from the breath taking mountain regions of new zealand is a major export the government wants to cut retain emissions from livestock by 10 percent by 2030 otherwise farmers will face penalties but how is this supposed to

happen randall asks a c deworm says she use elance farmers are already producing in an ecologically sustainable way that would be hard to find anywhere else in the world. the fortress is gone for about a little but people know is usually because i tend to like them and. want to call also use quite a bit more work on. asian quality of the paula. i'll give. you people just want to be a bit more somebody born into stuff and from the wealthy stuff and then just want to provide. a more consistent on a beautiful day. for the market. this afternoon the aspinall's are taking a break from the sheep the family including grandma are having a day out on their own farm this is a playground of over 2000 hectares. as for the 2 children for him even has

a waterfall with a natural pool this is how johnny and josh are growing up typical new zealand the next natural wonders never far away. this is not saying that it. just gives you time to thank them the joy and pride and i think little bit yet. not to be around and you get away from my boss i used to every now and then but if you do just. that it's a day every now and then use a look around and all you actually it's a pretty cold life to love and work in and we operate will very probably be odds of getting into it. it's not all rolling she postures and games of frisbee in the natural pool. for this new zealand farming family there are many new challenges but with views like this everyone can see why they choose this life.

in our global ideas series we go to the andes in south america in colombia our reporter culture dinner met the indigenous misaka people who are determined to protect their cultural identity and their tradition of nature conservation. when the knees ak indigenous people have important matters to discuss they always sit by the fire. as 27 year old nestore explains it's the most important place in the home. centers cost into the fire after all. but the ritual which joins us to the earth. you know so that it's i leave you all leave for the cities rather than staying here will be no one who protects this area . then our beliefs our language the entire culture will be lost.

nestore wants to do something to prevent that together with his friends from the village he's a member of the associate. that's an association designed to keep local cultural traditions in line with. everything in the garden was planted in the circle the beds around to here they cultivate plants but that ancestor is also used aloe vera and many others every plant here has its own special purpose. when women are menstruating we take the seeds and through that yes this helps us against the cold. this is a coal plant that's why when i use that to tackle a favor. and this is common it helps her stomach aches we also make an on it meant

to treat our friend is for example that. the medicinal use of cannabis which is being legalized in more and more countries has a long tradition among the muzak people though they don't use it as an acrostic the members of the association also want to pass on that botanical knowledge to children in the village to teach the younger generation what properties the plants have and why it's important for the means act to cultivate them themselves. it grew up with a lot of what my heart theatre group is called the magical tree and their play is about how we're just drawing our environment over then you know it's about how important it is to protect our animals are plants and mood that's. going to. some of the children play means that people fighting against

environmental destruction. you know you. look here you can see some symbols this is a bell symbol stands for the moon and here is the spiral it stands for the part that really misses tread. the group was set up about 15 years ago. in the past nestore used to perform himself but now he directs the children. and there's of course an armadillo i'm going to kill it and sell it but i will. gradually all of the plants and animals are killed by the children who are playing the role of modern day individuals down there.

afterwards the association members meet in the communities heart they come together on a regular basis to sit around the fire and talk about old traditions but also about new developments in the community. that means that manage 70 hectored of land a vast area most of it is beyond the settlement and consists of pristine jungle they are determined to prevent deforestation. in the presence of. a lot of communities are destroyed by transnational companies and also by the expansion of industrial agriculture. and. the land around the needs that community has already been cleared nature has been devastated by large scale cattle

farming and also by gold silver and coal mining. many indigenous communities in the calcutta valley still suffering from the fallout of the colombian conflict the decades long war between the government paramilitary groups and communist guerrillas fock drug cartels at the tension one 3rd of colombia is indigenous territory deadly violence is widespread in november 29000 there were 19 homicides in one week alone. those. leaders have been murdered there are threats like you are using violence to hound people out of their communities. a school in the region of and by alone. in a condo is visiting as a representative of the autonomous indigenous university. and it brings together students from various ethnic groups to bolster their cultures

and join forces to improve their communities learning takes place in small groups. the seminar participants discuss what they can do to tackle the threats their communities face in solidarity and cooperation between the indigenous groups is crucial. because i was given was what is your committee could put that is you know can we make our commanders a stronger so that we can't be forced out if we don't have a strategy or we'll lose everything and that'll be it took everybody down with government killed back in the mes act territory at the moment the situation is calm but while the threat posed by armed groups has receded environmental destruction is a growing problem. the children's play is almost over. and it has a happy end and means akbar in its new seeds for plants and breathes new life into

the animals. the people are given a 2nd chance this time the plants and animals have a message for humanity. just for you to climb the contour of the messenger of the sun king of the n.d. i dream of freedom at least let me live. on my woodpecker if we birds die there will be no more of birdsong and no more joy anybody. gets a lamb i'm the butterfly we want to spread our wings please don't clip. i made an armadillo please don't kill me. this week we pay a visit to a living room in kenya. and

. this is my main area this is where i spent most of the time in after walk after they had they had to walk my t.v. it is the work of my hands and i really really and i mean i love beads black that's why my house mostly black. my fastball livy my 2nd born andrew is that my blood

bone jeremy my 4th born said very grateful to god for. entrusting me be them. they make me feel more strongly and stronger every day. this is our part and we lead has so good she's also part of our family and also that i'm in love with my table very very much i'm a little technician but i also do other things with this. beauty industry and . i work to be really had to get it that i treasure it very had it is one of the

most expensive that i have been this fit in the room. bye bye thank you for visiting me i'm happy you know that come again and again. in india women are responsible for the family and household and play key roles in education and farming but families still value sons over daughters and sex selective abortions of wind spreads the result is a gender imbalance the country is missing 60000000 women one village is bucking the trend. a grandmother wields a pick axe soso ranch but is planting the 1st tree for her baby granddaughter all

of the families here follow the same ritual and there are $111.00 trees for each new born girl. when i was born my mother and father were very unhappy that i was a go today we're planting trees because we're happy when i go on if my parents had experienced this and i'm sure they would have been proud of me to. get a beard or maybe even a go a lot has changed in the village of people on tree thanks to shams under polly he came up with the tree planting idea 13 years ago back then he was mayor today when proud parents introduce him to their newborn girl he can barely believe that things haven't always been like this but 13 years ago girls were still regarded as inferior as worthless children. he continued into adult it used to be that women weren't allowed to leave the house alone you had to hide behind the

curtains that was a man's doing they were afraid something would happen to the women but this is changed dramatically. and it's not just thanks to the trees now parents pledge to not marry off their daughters before their 18th birthday. they're also required to educate their daughters in return the village community opens a savings account for each girl. when my granddaughter was born it was if the goddess luxury is good fortune has entered our home now we deposit 150 euros into a savings account and she on sunday or gives us twice that amount with this the little one can later pay for her education of course we also plant the tree to buy was an. idea for the trees and the education fund has a very personal motive 13 years ago his own daughter died he doesn't like talk. thing about the exact circumstances afterwards the businessman fell into

a deep depression he thought a lot about how girls in india are often harassed and disadvantaged he had a monument put up in his daughter's honor but it wasn't enough he wanted to do something more. if. i planted the tree as a memorial and as a way of coping with my grief but i soon realised that one tree wasn't enough. that's why we started this program $111.00 trees for each girl it has to be as many as that of this area had become a total waste land and now you can see the result. but you know the region around people on tree is full of marble cory's this is how it used to look 13 years and 350000 new trees later a dense forest now surrounds the village it's a blessing for the microclimate and the hot summer and the village of 5000 is now more prosperous because the forest is cultivated local see the boom is directly

connected to the support for the girls things are changing now there are just as many girls as boys in the classroom 10th grader come on polly explains why it often looks rather different in the rest of india. boys get an education and the girls often don't they're seen as a burden that's also why so many females are aborted killed right after they're born that's led to their being fall fewer go than boy. 13 years ago cole miles mother was one of the 1st people to plant trees for her daughter even though it's already 2 years old at the time her mother wanted to take part one called goes into the woods today she knows that some of the trees bear her name it's a great feeling when they cannot pick up this. what's the benefit i'm there that good this is a look at it the trees give us wood and best fruit. we plant them because they're

useful what they gazed at him like that thing in a sense because our mothers planted them we see them as our brother. is bogus am i to buy is going to let them go under is now famous in india politicians and entire university classes come to him to hear how he succeeded in improving living conditions for the girls and the entire village but the many trees and with little money. moving to the congo but inevitably come back. since he appeared as a guest in a celebrity special on india's version of who wants to be a millionaire the whole country knows him so. it's not going to be any sort of argue i never would have thought it would become such a big thing for me there got people are coming here from everywhere stop for you but many of them come to get ideas are gone they want to do the same thing. it's

gone will be it's a great mix of them or the little guy getting it on and they thought. when it all gets to be too much for him he withdraws to the forest this is the tree that started it all the tree that he planted for his deceased daughter. she says that at least her death had a positive effect its daughter would certainly have been proud of her father. this week our worldwide search for tasty snacks takes us to iceland. the icelandic landscapes are spectacular and you don't even have to leave town to enjoy them even from the center of reykjavik there are breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains because it tends to be pretty cold for most of the year but swastika features a small restaurant where you can warm up and enjoy the local speciality soup in a bread bowl. tiësto this
