diary starts many tricks. in the book you are no one on the cheap world so you can learn from your local if you exposing just global news that matters to you many times. the. whole welcome to. your destination for solutions for cleaner greener and a more sustainable commodity every week we introduce you to change makers people like you and i while making a significant impact to change out in by but for the better songs that are coming to you from mumbai in india. ahead of the show let's look at how a nonprofit in demi bill handing green action among the city's residents. or game

can get you to be more involved mentally cautious and how an animal welfare charity is attempting to change enjoy mindset in tribal tradition. first let's head to delhi a city which has become synonymous with toxic air pollution the capital cities green cover however is only increasing even if it's only the open forest capital of fortis with a less dense canopy this means delhi continues to be one who would rich biodiversity or flora and fauna one nonprofit organization in the city is making sure its residents are well acquainted with the natural treasures that he holds. belize colorful and the drug around 19000000 people live here he stops to give him one. the more people come here every day from all over the world delhi has the

highest proportion of migrants of all indian cities but the sense of appreciation and connection to one's new in one seems to grow slowly. that is something the team behind the internet long means knows only too well. hardly any supporters scored the environmental campaign for the young. so they had to come of the dissolution according to the greens found gold and sing. new light the city doesn't have a state or you know and then it's missing in one state corner cases and offer a lot of discussions. we're going to project back to the urban eco tourism project and the object of this when you go to the project is through the people who are living in delhi for 203040 years and big name one is when you go to them experience showed them the many systems i was in that supported them and can learn them and

transform them into. the biodiversity park is one of the biggest attractions of delhi's to approach it in campuses about $10000.00 hectares. for young. scientist supply why does the ball when he started his work here in the land along the yemen other banks was bad news about it he simply somebody asked me that. during election and actually in many fistula no political party has put the environment as a priority you have asked broader or your boss hospital you have asked metro government has given you everything but you have not it would never ever ask that you need it you need to read dolphin should be jumping you need to even admit there are 72 piece of doctors you need to even be learned by going to burst you know what office so this is a place with if you put leg open bring it's not up. students and other

people from the society they get to the police questions how to frame questions how to design a question because question becomes very important your life and in the scientific world also when you design an experiment you least many many christians invited down. the delhi green job in isolation this found it going to be years ago it all started with the blog to this day go with the single right and it whenever he comes across environmental problem. in the 1st blog post 1st published in march 2007 and then it will be published on interesting stories you know got the momentum it's actually i remember there was a. segment that had been spotted in jane you so there was a friend of ours who was spotted in there and seen a professor and he shared the photograph with us so many and then immediately asked permission and posted in the blog saying look a common bombs haven't spotted in any and then when i was going to pick up

a snake and shared this information and for you the fact that you know how the park was being really showed the photograph in us and we immediately took it the mission and then publish it on the blog saying look this is what it's all about it's not just you know and it's also about is by that it's not just people it's all to have the biodiversity and i. blog to become a campaign by page for an environmental action the reason. some things on his way home one day that he did not like it on. one fine day we were walking back to university from the field and we found out all the trees in the university had been numbered and the limit also numbered in any brutal manner so this marking orbach had been scraped off and a number had been written on all the trees each tree a unique number was so we went to various offices of the university to find out what's happening and then somebody said we don't know who's done this but. it is a given knowledge instead of the number of trees that we probably fell in later so the. and then.

it struck doesn't. think on. the blog about the in the proper making of the trees and the plans to cut them down arose people's interest that's how the university's management found out and halted the plans to cut down the trees. deli greens and the luck to have now made a name for themselves as experts today they visit a garbage dump in about an drive away from the city center residents complained to the organization about the down. it suspected that the dump is illegal and that the people who live in the neighborhood at risk of developing health problems.

trying to recycle. the problem but we were concerned about is the. amount of dust that is there. in the. ditch. and why the vet and information channel about environmental issues dirty greens has read as throughout india. already about 1200 people have taken part in. the delhi you comment on climate change and the campaign to promote segregation in projects. is called and used like the one oriental apartment in north west delhi's rohini district where new role materials are created from recycled waste. are almost on the lookout for those initiatives which work far fetched. it's management and once

i finish it even if i was. a woman we heard that there was this one company. and is now. and has made an. oriental apartments. music for. delhi greens is a nonprofit organization financed by donations and the revenues from its workshops . with the funding that and my member drive to make a little bit more livable. now regularly ecosystems like the ones in the biodiversity park has a variety of plants and animals big for example the red crested the large duck breeds in southern europe and central asia and makes its way all the way to delhi for the winter but what makes the wetlands saw attractive this experience will help you want to that question. is spread over a combined area of 12100000 square kilometers from the far north to the far south

there is an eco system that is richer than even rain forests wetlands. they support at least 100000 species of animal. what makes wetlands the most productive among all the ecosystems on the planet. to appreciate why that is it's important to 1st understand what makes a wetland. firstly continuous saturation by surface or ground water for most of the year secondly characteristic vegetation with a question of plants thirdly a unique type of substrate known as heidrick soil. it is the sponge like ability of the wetland to withstand different levels of water that makes it more productive than other ecosystems the physical properties of heidrick soil in one or 2 absorb a higher proportion of new. since that makes wetlands home to many rare and endangered

species of terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals that are found in no other ecosystem. there is also a natural flow through and filtration system of nutrients a characteristic unique to wetlands. it's these properties that help called grass in a salt marsh for instance to produce more plant material and store more energy per acre than any agricultural crop. healthy wetlands are crucial to all wildlife and humans throughout the world many birds use wetlands as a pit stop in their long distance migration many animals there to reproduce what lands provide great volumes of food especially the species that form the base of the food way of acting as natural water purifiers they absorb many pollutants in surface waters their ability to trap and retain water protects land against floods

and the impact of storms of the 600000000 people are dependent on wetlands for fisheries and farming rice which is grown in wetland is the staple diet of nearly 3000000000 people what is worrying is that the world may have lost as much as 87 percent of its wetland since the year 1703 times the rate at which natural forests have been lost not only a wetlands a vital source of biodiversity they are also a source of livelihood for one out of 7 people on earth that means protecting all regions worldwide where water meets land brings benefits for all for the environment and the economy. now one of the real life situation gave you the option to save or to take any of that environmentally conscious decision various lobbies are working against you to prevent that from happening a fascinating give you that experience. as it's called challenges to strike

a balance between protecting the environment and. interests. this game is about climate change and the politics involved players build black factories or eco friendly green one. of the dice can ruin a. players economy it all depends on the cot and the natural disaster it represents but. it was important for us to designs the games that you are doing the socially best thing we wanted to reproduce the real world tension so when you have the oil industry card in the beginning you need to play for the oil industry to win while if you have so green growth card you need to produce green growth. when germany's climate politics are played out and where german scientists are continuing to develop the game keep cool to give players a peek into the world of climate policy. clouds eisenach is an expert on the

economics of climate change and one of the brains behind. i was always a game into the just so i can see swings to bring it in if you look in the real world climate change policies what's going on it's like a game. and as in the real world this game pits different players against each other. and changes and serious issues but being afraid of it it's not the solution we need to creativity to solve the problems we have and the game is one way. that can games really help us to combat issues like climate change and industry lobby the n.c. on their studies the science behind toys and games. it is and media. games are a medium that allows us to learn about new subjects. in the learning impact is in direct because the point is also to have fun. when we look at these games and play

them there's an emotional involvement. so it's possible that we take that experience with us into the real world. the humbled university is one of countless bad news hosting balance on your science institute open. right and events where researchers present their work new technologies experiments and games. that's also immobile version of keep cool. students here clay with climate enthusiasm from all over the world in english or in 4 other languages. the mobile 1000 gives you control over how to develop your city. i think it's a great simulation and it really shows you all the intricacies of different interest. standing in the way of climate change this is just a game so maybe there is very different things in reality players also have

to factor in rising temperatures just like in reality green factories are black the choice is that and our it's climate change is one of the big threats we have in the 21st century and be every huge urgency to deal with this problem and we have lost too much time already but i think we need to get the message that we need to do stuff individually that we need to change all behavior but it's the same time that we also need to have political change going on we need to engage and cooperate globally in class and his team have funding to take their game to the next level they just hope it can inspire players globally to make a change in the real world. shifting focus now poverty illiteracy a lack of awareness and an absence of better noting services for farmers in india's eastern state or for the asia and india their animals wonderful to speak to the seasons the farmers off and rely on priests and quacks of the windage to kill their

animals a german animal welfare charity w p g is trying to bring a shift in the mindset of the tribal areas of the state where the community managed program for long term improvement of the health of the animals. farm. about one of. it is sick and these. families live. fortunately a team off mobile rates has come to. the lymph nodes are stored and probably because of an infection so the cow is given an antibiotic injection. be vetted maybe in scheme to our rescue they treated us sick animals there's no other animal clinic here. they've treated my sick go give the animal medicine and now all is that. the words are funded by w d d a german vulgar and you get pains traveled to places where there is no where the

studios of red really care or where it is too expensive places like some of the village in the eastern indian a state of. news their teens are i will have the spring farmers be a small fee for treatment this can be this is an parasites a common sometimes the animals need surgery the ritz gets this farm a spray that can create life over. you know decent 80 percent of rural households own livestock for many families livestock on an important supplementary income source it's a poor reason malnutrition means animals are vulnerable to disease preventive measures against diseases such as food and mouth disease which is widespread here are. very good if you love pretty well if they keep livestock at home we had

2222 cattle washed away by the recent cycle and they are fit. well i have been needed treatment for the remaining animals today i got meds and for my animals . a few kilometers away in my heart. here the reps are training film how to keep their animals healthy. the. activity around 70 locations in. partnering with the local animal welfare organization. the poor country poorest parts of india so in this way or that we are providing. a 1000000 to this one so. he will if yards away out of. here in this bone the training has led to changes that used to be that mosquitoes and flies made animals restless and carry disease.

today mosquito nets keep the best out. of baghdad. used to have cars and fields for farming but badly affected by the cycle. because money and. i had problems my 25 cards. the remaining animals are all healthy today animal health one tears like good money better are trained and provide medical care once the veterinarians are gone the volunteers are given a basic kit with medications. and bandages. bob updated then if any cows. have any kind of problem their owners call me and i reach out to them immediately and provide medicines that. the w.b. g.

has trained more than 40 of these animal health willing to yours or the boss the year in india. nearly 4000 farmers have taken part in the training courses dealing with an immigration and care like. this with a new knowledge they'll be able to ensure the valve for of the livestock and their own livelihood as well. can use a computer to help bring about change we travel to the couple of us through the ages in the south of children here are hoping their parents often follows the view is that when you have the cultural method with the help of songs and one piece and the results seem encouraging take a look. just a few more stitches and this hand puppet will be ready. to start a play these children are putting on tomorrow and they have to be sure they know their lines. the play was written by

participants in a workshop on sustainable farming and the children contributed some ideas of their own. then we have to protect the forest they say by growing plants that are good for the soil and then we cause less damage. than humans. and i was drive away in the mountains the scene of a landslide one of many there's widespread deforestation here there aren't enough trees left to stabilise the soil with their roots. they've been replaced by corn to grow corn you have to plow the fields but that loosens the soil which can then easily slip downhill. the nearest large town to just rami is cup of us 2 siddhartha gautama grew up nearby he later became known as the boarder the enlightened one he taught that people are responsible for themselves now you are allowed to ask for help. so what is using the innovation tell. the american

n.-g. o. rare organizes workshops for farmers and local politicians on sustainable farming methods. they cover the ins and outs of organic farming and how to market the new products. the aim is to restructure farming here. this is where the young property is have a part to play. when they talk about think that this is only meant for the children but when it is parents and they. love to know what their children are not only what. this is a very powerful tool and long it's a very sustainable accords. and. i think they would do a lot. back in the mountains my abound judie is the mother of garnish one of the

young property is is it school right now while his father sprays his corn with insecticide he knows it's highly toxic but says he has no alternative. we know it's bad financial and for our health but we can only harvest enough corn if we use the insecticide. where the outside oh we had people you know so you know. it is. you know produce. more handles are and his wife likes me are 2 such champions they now make an organic pesticide with cows urine leaves and herbes it's a natural way of protecting their crops from a range of pests and diseases like. if. they're still growing corn but now they also grow spices like ginger which don't

require plowing that reduces the risk of soil erosion. the seeds are planted on the surface and covered with a little hay be a turmeric or ginger the farmers hope to earn good money with their new crops one advantage is that these plants should be able to withstand the expected changes to the climate. we can see that the climate is changing the rain has become less reliable. but ginger yams and turmeric grow even when there's not much rain where. the big day has arrived for our young property is. that 1st more talks about what he learned at the workshop. tells the audience how the new kinds of plants can help prevent landslides. at least half the villages come for the event including my about johnny. carson

ganesh introduces the puppet play. at the monkey complains about the destruction of the forest and the young girl in the cow explain how women can protect the soil with sustainable farming. a serious message charmingly conveyed. that i didn't know you could. and neighbor now has more about it. perhaps we'll try. the workshop participants sing a song they wrote themselves to inspire enthusiasm to pursue the changes that are so urgently needed to ensure that people can live here in safety. i hope you enjoyed that story and. will be back with many more stories next week
