stretches of land to be abandoned. on the water. it's happening faster than anticipated. massive burglars are supposed to prevent flooding but the only delayed you never. know will we live in the future. $66000000.00 in the sea levels starts to turn on g.w. . how old welcome to your destination for solutions for cleaner greener and a more sustainable to model 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 songs that are coming

to you from mumbai in india just ahead of the show let's look at how a nonprofit in delhi bill having green action among the city's residents if a board game can get you to be more involved mentally conscious and how a journey animal welfare charity is attempting to change enjoy 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 than scanner b. this means barely continues to be when 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.

delis colorful and trucked around 19000000 people live you stop us to give me 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 pca should and connection to one's new in one seems to grow slowly. that is something that being behind internet blog means knows only too well the gain hardly any supporters for the environmental campaign for the young. so they had to come up with the solution according to the greens found saying. new life the city doesn't have a stake or you know and then it's missing a stick or the cases and offer a lot of discussions. we're 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 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 converted them and transform them into said to. the biodiversity park is one of the biggest attractions of that he's going to approach it in campuses about $10000.00 hectares. for young. scientist suppose why does the ball when he started his work here in the land along the young are not in the banks was bad news about me recently 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 or your boss hospital you have lost macpro government has given you everything but you have not miller that you need. you need to read dolphin should be jumping you need even. the seventy's peace of doctors you

need to even be learned by getting bush you never asked so this spot is a please with it people leg open brings a lot of students and other people from the society they get to the question 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 and experiment you least many many christians have voted down. the delhi greens organization despond it going to be years ago it all started with the blog to this day go and singalong it whenever he comes across environmental problems. in the 1st blog post 1st published in march 2007 and then it will be published on an interesting story as you know gather momentum etc i remember there was a common bomb cement that had been spotted and jane you saw there was a friend of ours who was spotted in there and seen

a professor and he shared the photograph of us already and then immediately asked permission and posted in the blog saying no common palm civet spotted in any and then when i was going to for us print sort of picked 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 get permission 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 and by that it's not just people it's all to having biodiversity and i. love to become a campaign but 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 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 to. this office is only interested to find out

what's happening and then somebody said we don't know who's done this. and there's a given knowledge. so then they figured probably be fair and then event to find and then which is the biggest number in front of $1000.00. instructors are probably thinking about me in a university would think well i don't. blog about that in the appropriate making of the crees and the plans to cut them down arose of the people's interest that's how the university's management found out and halted the plans to cut down the trees. delhi greens and the luck to have now made a name for themselves as experts today they visit the garbage dump in about an average drive away from the city center residents complained to the organization about the dump it suspected that the dump is illegal and that the people who live in the neighborhood at risk of developing health problems.

trying to. get that from a. good solution that this is good for the problem but we were concerned about is the. amount of dust that is there. for the people who are living in the process by. which. action why the vet site and information channel about environmental issues like delhi 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 norton. delis wrote in

a district where new role materials are created from recycled rist are always on the lookout for those initiatives which work for effective risk management and once i think i was up to the woman we heard that there was one company. and is now. and has gone into an. oriental apartments so music from. delhi greens is a nonprofit organization financed by donations and the revenues from its workshops . with the funding that and my member tried to make a little bit more livable. now regularly ecosystems 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 weapons are tracked this explainer 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. and 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 what lands 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 wetland since the years 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 what if 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 ones the dice can ruin a. players economy it all depends on the cot 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 are played out and where

german scientists are continuing to develop the game cue 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 could 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 issue 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. in years and i need your.

games are a medium that allows us to learn about new subjects. in the learning in part it 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. is one of countless bad news hosting balance that neuroscience 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

a game so maybe there is a 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 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 that 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 nudie services for farmers in india's

eastern state or for that end of their animals one notable 2 beers feed to the seas is the farmers often rely on priests and quacks of the windage to cure 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 with the community manage program for long term improvement of the health of the animals. from. about one of. it is sick and these. families live. fortunately a team of mobile weights has come to have the lymph nodes are stored and probably because of an infection so the cow is given and the body conjecture. the vet didn't avians came to our rescue they treated our sick animals there's no other animal clinic here. they treated my sick go give the animal medicine and now

all is that. dymo buying words are funded by w d d a german animal welfare and you get being stretched into places where there is no where the studios of red ranieri care where it is too expensive places like some of the village in the east and in the in the state of. news that danes are i will have to spring foremost be a small fee for treatment the skin diseases and parasites are common sometimes the animals need surgery the vets gets this pharma a spray that can treat lice. in odessa 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

arcane. they get a pillow but when they keep livestock at home we have 20 to 22 cattle washed away by the recent cycle. if it. be 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 family how to keep their animals healthy. the. active in and around 70 locations in odessa partnering with the local animal welfare organization. the poor country poorest parts of india so in this well they are but we are providing. it on a modern serious one. he would. not dare.

here in this bun 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. used to have cows and fields for farming but they were badly affected by that 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 on trend and provide medical care once the victory americans are gone the volunteers are given the basic kit with medications. and bandages.

obligated 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 while 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 lifestyle and their own livelihood as. again music and peer to help bring about change we travel to the couple of us through the ages in the south the children here are helping their parents often farmers today is that awareness about you of the 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 know that we have to protect the forest they say by growing plants that are good for the soil and then we cause 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 jazz 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. what is using of innovation tell. the american n.-g. o. rare organizers 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. this is where the young property is have a part to play. when they talk about we think that this is only meant for the to burke when it is parents and they. are not. this is a very powerful tool and longer and it's a very sustainable of course. and. i think it 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 for nature 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. the convinced of armors it is. produced. within the. mohan blues r. and his wife laxmi 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 on time or it grow even when there's not much rain. and the big day has arrived for our young puppeteers. 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 and the cow explain how women can protect the soil with sustainable farming. a serious message charmingly conveyed. that i didn't know you could also use natural pesticides. and neighboring has more about it. that. perhaps we'll try it as well. with. 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 enjoy that story and the others we had to be back with many more stories next week until that.
