on. 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 our environment for the better i'm sunk that i'm coming to you from mumbai in india. ahead of the show let's look at how a nonprofit in delhi uses bill heading green action among the city's residents if a poor game can get you to be more involvement in the gunshots and how a german animal welfare charity attempting to change egil mindsets 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 whom the rich biodiversity of flora and fauna one nonprofit organization in the city is making sure its residents are well acquainted with the natural treasures that he holds. his colorful democrats around 19000000 people live here he stops to give him 1000 more people who come here every day from all over the world delhi has the highest proportion of migrants of all indian cities but the sense of p.c.'s and connection to one's new in one seems to grow slowly. that is something that being be. internet blog means knows all too well the game

hardly any supporters. campaign for the young. so they have to come of the solution according to the greens found gold in saying. new light the city doesn't have a state where they are now and then used to sing in state corner cases and i'll 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 big people who are living in l.a. for 203040 years and big name one is when you go to them experience showed them the systems i was in that supported them and converted them and transform them into citizens of. biodiversity park is one of the biggest attractions of delhi's i could to approach it encompasses about 10000 hectares. for young. scientists suppose why does the ball when he started his work here in

the land along the human banks was bad is it actually it is simply somebody asked me that. during election and actually in many fist or 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 was never ever asked that you need it to bluewater you need to read dolphin should be jumping you need to even admit there are 72 piece of doctors you need even a lot of maggoty birds you never asked so this part is a please with it people leg open brings a lot of students and other people from the society they get to learn how to use 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 raise many many questions and write it down. the deli. found it going to be years ago it all started with the

blog to this day go and singalong it whenever he comes across the environmental problem. in the 1st blog post 1st published in march 2007 and then it will be published on interesting studies you know gather momentum and 6 i remember there was a. segment that inspired ingenue so there was a friend of ours who responded in the end 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 cement spotted in any and then went on by and i was going to pick up a snake and share this for 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 this is what it's all about it's not just you know and it's also about is by them it's not just people it's all to have the biodiversity and i. love to become

a campaign by page for an environmental action the reason. some things on this one that he did not like it on. one fine day we were walking back to a university from the field work and we found that all the trees in the universe had been numbered and the limit also numbered in any brutal manner so this barcode box had been scraped off and a number had been written on all the trees each tree had a unique number of cars so we went to various offices of the industry to find out what's happening and then somebody said we don't know who's done this but. it is a given knowledge and the number of trees that would probably fell a meter so then we figured that you know they're probably be fair and then even to find out that which is the biggest number in front of $1000.00 so there's a probably $1000.00 things that about me in a university would think all i wanted to blog about in the appropriate making of the trees and the plans to cut them down around the people to. that's how the

university's management found out and halted the plans to cut down the trees. daily dreams and one of the luck to have now made a name for themselves as experts today they visit the garbage dump in about an hour just drive away from the city center residents complained to the organization about the. it's suspected that the dump is illegal and that the people who live in the neighborhood at risk of developing a health problem. they're trying to recycle. the problem but we were concerned about is the way they're handling it because the amount of dust that is there.

to action one of the vets and information channel about environmental issues like 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 projects. as you know was called and used like the one oriental apartment in north west delhi's is broken you just break when you roll materials are created from recycled raced. on the lookout for those initiatives which work for effect and mismanagement and one such initiative in its own was. the one we heard that there was this one company which is sentimental in me and is now on a new and has. oriental apartments so like music from. delhi green. the nonprofit organization financed by donations and the revenues from

its workshops. with the funding and my members tried to make a little bit more livable. now regularly go systems like the ones in the biodiversity park has a word writing 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 weapons are tracked this experience will help you answer that question. 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 that makes it more productive than other ecosystems the physical properties of heidrick soil in neighbor to absorb a higher proportion of nutrients 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 where 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 what 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 wetlands since the years 7903 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 what if a real life situation gave you the option to save and any other 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 factories or eco friendly green ones that die screwing up. players economy it all depends on

a card and the natural disaster it represents. it was important for us to designs a game 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 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. klaus eisenach is an expert on the economics of climate change and one of the brains behind keep cool i was always a game into the just so i could see swings to bring it in if you look in the real world climate change policy is 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 issue but being afraid of it it's not some sort of. 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. and isn't. all. games are a medium that allows us to learn about new subjects. in the learning in part in direct because the point is also to have fun. when we look at these games and play them as an emotional involvement. so it's possible that we take that experience with us into the real world. 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. there's also a mobile version of keep cool. students here play with climate enthusiasm from all over the world in english or in 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. 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 choices that and our 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 so if you 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 know the services for farmers in india's eastern state of it into their animals one little bill to various fetal diseases the farmers often rely on priests and quacks of the windage to kill their animals and 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 of mobile rates has come to. the lymph nodes are stored and probably because of an infection so the cow is given an antibody conjecture. be vetted megan's came to our rescue they treated us sick animals there is no other animal clinic here. they treated my sick go give the animal medicine and now all is that. the words are funded by w d d a german animal vulgar and you get things travel 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 the state of. news the danes are i will have the spring farmers be

a small fee for treatment this can busies is better sites a common sometimes the animals need surgery the reds gets this farm a spring that can create life over. in the decent 80 percent of rural households own livestock for many families livestock on an important supplementary income source it's a poor rate of malnutrition means animals are vulnerable to disease preventive measures against diseases such as foot and mouth disease which is widespread here are. very good if you love. the keep livestock at home we have 20 to 22 cattle washed away by the recent cycle and they are feeling. well i have been needed treatment for the remaining animals today i got medicine for my animals. a few kilometers away in my heart. here the rexall training family how to keep

their animals healthy. the w p g is active in around 70 locations and. partnering with the local animal welfare organization. for. the poor country poorest areas of india so in this way or that we are providing right now he told me that on a 1000000 serious ones. he will if yards away out of. here in this bone the training has led to changes that he used to be that mosquitoes and flies made animals restless and carry disease. today mosquito nets keep the best out. i used to have cows and fields for farming but they were badly affected by the cycle. not. because money and. i had problems my 25 cars died.

but the remaining animals are all healthy today animal health one tears like google money better are trained and provide medical care ones divert the remaining ones are gone the volunteers are given the basic medications. and bandages. if any cows sheep 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 while in tears over the past 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 lifestyle and their own livelihood as well. can use a computer help bring about change we travel to the couple of us to teach in the south the children here are helping their parents often far most today is that awareness 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. that we don't then we have to protect the forest they say by growing plants that are good for the soil because less damage. than you want to. an

hour's 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 border the enlightened one he taught that people are responsible for themselves now you are allowed to ask for help. so what is diffusion of innovation tell. the american n.-g. o. rare organizes workshops for farmers and local politicians on sustainable farming methods. that cover the ins and outs of organic farming and how to market the new products. the aim is to restructure farming here. is where

the young property is have a part to play. when they talk about think that this is only meant for the children burke where it is a sin by parents and they. love. this is a very powerful tool and long it's a very. 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 his 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

need new people you know so you know. it is. produced. within the. mohan blues r. 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. 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. but 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 village has come for the event including my about johnny. carson ganesh introduces the puppet play. 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.

conveyed. i didn't know you could also use natural. and neighbor knows more about it. perhaps we'll try. that in 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. we'll be back with many more. until that the box.
