coming to you from mumbai in india. ahead of the show let's look at how a nonprofit even demi bill having green action among the city's residents if a poor game can get you to be more involved mentally conscious and how a german animal welfare charity is attempting to change egil 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 that he 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. the.

delis colorful and attractive around 19000000 people live here he stops to give you 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 appreciation and connection to one's new in one seems to grow slowly. that is something the team behind the internet blog means knows only too well begin hardly any supporters to campaign for the young. so they have to come of the dissolution according to the greens found gold in saying. new light the city doesn't have a state or you know and then it's missing in state corner cases and off a lot of discussions. are going to project back to the urban design 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 wonders when you go to them experience showed them the many systems i was in that supported them and can run them and transform them into. the biodiversity park is one of the biggest attractions of that he's been to approach it in compass is about 10000 hectares. for young. scientist suppose watches the fall when he started his work here in the land along the banks was bad news events and he simply somebody asked me that. during election and actually in many fist oh no political party has put the environment as a priority you have broader all your boss hospital you have asked metro government has given you everything but you have not it was miller that you need it you need to read dolphin should be jumping you need a very bad. there are 72 piece of doctors you need to even be lot of maggoty bush

you never asked so this is a please with it people like gobin brings a lot of students and other people from the society they get squeezed out to frame questions how to design a question because question becomes very important your life and in the scientific world also when you design and experiment you raised many many questions and i did down. the delhi green denies it and this 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 stories you know gather momentum it's a trip i remember there was a common cement that had been spotted so there was a friend of ours who responded and then

a senior professor and he shared the photograph with are so many and then immediately asked permission and posted in the blog saying look a common palm civet spotted in and then at the end when i was going to fast for it sort of picked up and found a snake and this for information and for you know the fact that you know how the park was being really sure that photographing us and we immediately to get permission and then publish it on the blog saying look this is what it is all about it's not just you know and it's also brought in by the it's not just people it's also having biodiversity and i. love 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 11 also numbered in any brutal manner so this marking old mark had been scraped off and a number had been written on all the trees each tree had a unique number of course so we went through it. office is only interested to find

out what's happening and then somebody said we don't know who's done this. so then they figured they're probably be fair and then we've ended fine on them which is the biggest number in front of $1000.00. instructors and probably 1000 things that i. think are on. the blog about the inappropriate making of the crees and the plans to cut them down arose of the people's interest that's how the universities management found out and hold the plans to cut down the trees. daily greens and the luck the rich have now made a name for themselves as experts today they visit a garbage dump in about an hour just 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

a health problem. thank. god. for the problem but what we really concern about is the. amount of dust that is there. even the. action of one of the vets and information channel about environmental issues dirty greens house readers throughout india. already about 1200 people have taken part in . the delhi youth comment on climate change and the campaign to promote segregation projects. as you know was called and used like the one oriental apartment in the north where. their lease is broken in

a district where new war materials are created from recycled wrist. are always on the lookout for those initiatives which work for effective risk management and once i finish it even if i was. a woman we heard that there was one company. and is now . and has made an. oriental apartments. deli greens is a nonprofit organization financed by donations and the revenues from its workshops . with the funding that and my members tried to make a little bit more livable. now regularly go systems like the ones in the biodiversity park has a variety of plants and animals take 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 answer that question. is spread over a combined area of 12100000 square kilometers from the far north to the far south there is an ecosystem 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 enable it 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 wetlands provide great volumes of food especially for 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 wetland patties 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 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 whatever your life situation gave you the option to save. well to take any of that environmentally conscious

decision various lobbies are working against you to prevent that from happening well a fascinating can give you that experience keep cool 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 black factories or eco friendly green ones one roll of the dice can ruin a player's economy it all depends on a cart and the natural disaster. it was important for us to designs of games that you are doing is a 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 in berlin where 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. clowes eisenach is an expert on the economics of climate change and one of the brains behind. the i was always a game into the just so i could see swings to bring it in if you look 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 the solution 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. in his and i need young. teen. gamers are

a medium that allows us to learn about new subjects. in the learning in part 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. humbled university is one of countless venues hosting balance that neuroscience institute open night 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 4 other languages. the mobile phone 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 interests. 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 choice is 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. india's

eastern state of the shop at the end of their animals one notable to various fetal diseases the farmers often rely on priests and quacks of the wish 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 manage program for the long term improvement of the health of the animals. farm is what it about one of our cows it is sick and these animals are sundry to have families livelihood fortunately a team of mobile rates has come to. the lymph nodes probably because of an infection so that is given an antibody conjecture. leave it is nagin scame 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 mobile rates are funded by w d d a german and i'm involved there and you. would do places where there is no where the stools of rodriguez or where it is too expensive places like some of the village in the eastern indian state of. news their teens are i will have to spring foremost be a small fee for treatment the skin diseases and parasites a common sometimes the animals need surgery the ritz gets this farm a spray that can create life over. in the decent 80 percent of new 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 at. the keep livestock at home we had 2222 cattle washed away by the recent cycle and. we needed treatment for the remaining anyone today i got mates in for my animals. a few kilometers away in my park here the reds are training family how to keep their animals healthy. the w p g is active in around 70 locations in odessa partnering with the local animal welfare organization. you the poor country poorest parts of india so in this way or that we are providing. a 1000000 to this one. he will if yards away out of. danger.

here in this bun the training has led to changes it used to be that mosquitoes and flies made animals restless and carry disease. today mosquito nets keep the best out. used to have cows and fields for farming but they were badly affected by the cycle. not. because money and other sources i had problems my 25 cars died. but the remaining animals are all healthy today. animal health warning tears like google money beer are trained and provide medical care once the veterinarians are gone the volunteers are given the basic kit with medications. and bandages. bob updated then if any cows or 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 in tears over the past year in india. nearly 4000 farmers have taken part in the training courses dealing with animal new aggression and care. with the new knowledge they'll be able to ensure the veld for of the livestock and their own livelihood as. i can use a computer to help bring about change we travel to the couple of us to d.j. in the south of me children here are helping their parents often farmers to raise that awareness about a new avenue cultural methods 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 think we have to protect the forest they say by growing plants that are good for the soil and then we cause less damage. than the money. 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. tell. you 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 meant for the children burke when it is a sin by parents and they. love. this is a very powerful and long it's a very sustainable. and. i think they would do

a lot. back in the mountains my about jahi is the mother of garnish one of the young property is his at 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. are. going to china where the outside oh we had people you know so you know. it is. you know produce. and his wife likes me or 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 being 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 tamarack grow even when there's not much rain where. the big day has arrived for our young property is. but 1st more humble talks about what he learned at the workshop. tells the audience how the new kinds of plants can help prevent

landslides. at least off the villages 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. that i didn't know you could also use natural. and neighbor knows more about it. perhaps we'll try it. in the workshop participants sing a song they wrote themselves to inspire enthusiasm to pursue the changes that also urgently needed to ensure that people can live here in safety.

i hope you enjoyed about story. and we'll be back with many more stories next week until that the box.
