i close my eyes blue and those who look at me. my answer. i am and i was so overjoyed. to see google. star chart 3rd day w. . the mobile phone has made sure that the entire world is just a click away technology has seeped into our every day draghi and is here to state but many skeptics argue that constantly staring into our screens is detaching us from the nature that surrounds us this week we interview suit of the people who were trying to bridge this gap with their innovations hello welcome to eco india.

coming to you from mumbai i want to slowly inching towards a population of 2000000000 people and more the number of people the creator the fight for space what would be amongst ourselves but even with other species that inhabit a planet for decades the people of possum in the south indian state of could not have been there too long to heads with the elephants that inhabited the region often proving fatal for both man and animal but it acknowledged to be a solution is saving lives on both sides of the divide. the so easy but also when we do it right i was supposed to arrive this morning but i couldn't aren't so your message in the morning see there live from sat down do a lot often breaks up 2 signs of elephant movement through his plantation almost the door is broken take

a look here. over the years animals have in advertently damaged 7 acres of asperity and several office coffee plans and palm trees. in the number a huge impact on our livelihood leaving our daily life has become very difficult. whatever we can do the lot of out of that. the latest encounter however was different a message he received just in time help a major disaster on this plantation. when one of the only one week ago i got an alert message saying there is an elephant in this area one of my laborers who was in the paddy field he did not have a phone so i called someone else who alerted him they live and was right there he screamed and the liberal was able to escape if not for this morning he would have been i would get an. awesome district. lives as some of the

largest populations of violation elephants in year they live mostly in the plantations monocultures and paddy fields around the town's. conflict with humans began to get serious and on the 19th seventies when this district that used to be largely fought began to become. the forest is now highly fragmented and largely replaced by human habitation as. well developed in step wondered into the villages of. villages please be vigilant please be vigilant. to follow us depart and must stay on their toes to keep elephants and humans out of conflict. every time. there.

is a partner and there's also a lot of pressure. so. under this pressure. there has been an influx of new. fields and plantations of elephants who are wide ranging species that migrate to iran in search of places that will allow them to eat and breathe exercises like relocation has largely failed in the past sometimes increasing the confidence humans. respond to a conservation organization that has been working in the area since 2015 to develop technology that solutions. locals elephants presents as a gentle way of ensuring no lives are lost on either side.

in this study. in the last 10 years. and most of them more than 60. people know that they don't have any friends in that area and. probably if they had information these incidents could have been avoided. in 2017 longs to an early warning system the 1st approach coming in the region that covers $220.00 villages in hossam district. it is a free service for which locals can sign up just bring their mobile number with the organization. and. separately this is a public service announcement why didn't ins have been cited in the villages we

request. vigilant at all times and i mean you know. and you wonder just to receive alerts in the local language governor about the possible location of the elephants as well as additional warnings and things look especially risky this is done through bulk s.m.s. is voice messages as well as a digital display bode's and. because of these interventions. in the last one year. which has never happened in the history of a long. response team suppose.

this group of 48 people are mostly locals who have been created by the forest to physically track the elephant so that there is constant and obviated information about the locations. integrity the communication system has brought about a broader change to the relationship people and elephants shifted i would say the most remarkable change that i would see. their. state. i think it's. because they have.

the warning system has helped produced conflict in house and district but as more forest land is set aside for development the future of human elephants coexistence remains fragile. and the digitalisation of our daily life is already responsible for a percent of the global carbon dioxide emissions every single source squarely on the internet consumes energy a company in berlin has decided to make search queries and bob mentioned family when you use the platform the profits generated are the best to interview for the station programs farmers in the provision 6000 kilometers away are benefiting from this to. egypt. farming is a very awful life here in the vested not the british legion but practically all of

the foreigners have been failed to create this area will land. bunker giago hills from the village of wooden seine he also used to cut down trees so he could plant more crops. we used to have dense forests here it was completely green with lots of green but all that you know we admit deforestation plus the religious we're not planting 1st saplings then they felt that we are being suffocated and we're going against our environment and nature. now by the country other was taking a new york roach but the project for reforestation. this earthlings were donated by the sustainable green initiative to meet the needs of local farmers to enjoy joe's fruit bearing trees despite them absorbing less carbon dioxide.

in the. yes when we started in 2002 and we were just plugging regular trees i what i would what we would call timber trees where i would your trees sometime in 2013 our elders told us hunger malnutrition these are major challenges and they convinced us that our shift should be towards trees because fruit trees can actually change many many lives fruits from these trees can be done for nutrition within the family extra fruits can be sold to create income. because she is a small company based in berlin that is funding the project in the village. the team here have set up their own internet search engine earning money from. 80 percent of their profits are invested in reforestation projects in countries all around the world. because google is the market leader in search engines

we saw the need for an alternative player that's committed to using green electricity for its service and protecting the data users and instead of getting rich or paying our dividends profit should be used to give something back to the planet and to people who use those search engines and that's why we're using our money to plant trees. the project in the back region was the 1st of its kind in india for the german team they chose a reason due to the decline in biodiversity here over many years. the project involves planting $40000.00 new fruit trees bunkers the other regular income is an equal and of $700.00 euros a year as a farmer for him and other small scale farmers here the extra money from harvesting the fruit is most welcome. my role is to see that the plants are. not using any pesticide only are going to. also look into the marketing so we get

decent returns for these really are. each tree will generate some 12 euro's per year like this but by here local farmers will get around $200.00 trees the plants will bear fruit spot between 15 and 20 years. this will get caught when i plant 1000000 tree youth. by the british. are going to india. on an average around 80 percent of the sapling so right this project helps reduce poverty and protect the environment. the planet. has been declining alarmingly intrusive scientists are

trying to do their bit to preserve it with the help of what children they hope to the people a bit of what it's. like to be a cayman. amazon river. a frog jumping around in this virtual reality installation participants can slip into the 5 different animal. my favorite one is the vampire bat it's so cuddly. and the way it's been done it works really well you get to fly through the rain forest by night with night vision it's fantastic. you have to watch out for the spiders behind you. in a cool guy and her team at the interactive media foundation company in berlin

designed the installation they recreated 400 hectares of brazil's 2 mccormack national park in the amazon. in forest it took over a year 7500 plants alone had to be drawn and programs the installation is now touring museums around the world. and. we wanted to create an emotional experience that you can dive into and enjoy and that enables people to identify with the animals and in this way to awaken interest in them and in the way they experience the world. and it's working we've had lots of people asking us is it really true that the poison dart frog sees those crazy colors that. how do you know that and how can we find out more. far. the project required extensive research the artists needed input from scientists they worked closely with

biologists portman's natural history museum. biologist yano hoffman initially found a few mistakes to correct in the virtual reality installation. yeah i just thought that is right as the 1st time we saw the prototype of the island we noticed there were a few plants that don't exist in south america and certainly not in the amazon and is in munich island. staff here at the museum in berlin and understand the importance of using digital media to appeal to a new generation of visitors. here for example you can see what food the dinosaurs ate and how they moved around. first grade student layla nor like approves. it because they're so colorful and were alive so many years ago. the museum recently began a project to digitalize most of the 30000000 objects on display here some are

photographed which requires great precision others are scanned using the world's 1st 3 d. scanner for insects this involves moving the object $396.00 times so it can be displayed fully in 3 d. it's a huge gain for scientists worldwide but also for visitors to the museum in space on the especially for school groups it's great to bring in these digital exhibits were also developing our own educational apps that allow users to discover the local flora and fauna here in berlin so we're trying to use these digital formats to appeal to the next generation and it's making many areas more accessible to younger visitors. raising interest and wildlife whether it's putting existing museum exhibits into digital format or using modern technology to create a whole new experience like flying with a harvey a go through the amazon in virtual reality.

a flock of birds creating fluid patterns against the expensive sky is. one of the creators phenomena of nature scientists think of this flocking is mainly to protect themselves from birds afraid there might come a day soon when. ultrafast coordination skills to program truth better allow and after creating beautiful digitally manipulated photographs inspired by these ever creative patterns. images that resemble a tornado taken over the latter valley in catalonia. they show a flock of airborne volunteers that live south of the pier and. they were captured by spanish photographer charlie. langton theon the 3rd i wasn't trying to take just ordinary pictures of vultures

before seen before you know i wanted to show another side of nature's beauty a beauty that's created by patterns of movement. the form of fashion photography lives in barcelona he has devoted 8 years to his photo project titled only talk graffiti from the greek words for birds and for writing. his photographs are worldwide. is that they were for most of these patterns of always being invisible to us of a perception is limited to the moments of somebody else we see here is a few seconds compressed into a single image as if you could see those seconds as a single moment. but so on those that's not possible except with this technology the former secret poem was about. to create one image he meticulously cases hundreds of photos on top of one another they shot in rapid succession following

the principle of the krona photograph the presence developed in the mid 19th century to study motion sequences. in 1878 english photographer edward my bridge used it to show that a galloping horse actually leaves the ground for a few milliseconds. individual beds can hardly be identified in charge of those images. look at the good that is going what's important is the pattern of motion. so people see a d.n.a. strand a wire a computer graphics and that's what interests me. what do people see with a few an image like this for the 1st time in the. window as a child he'd go birdwatching with his grandfather he's been fascinated with but ever since and he doesn't have to travel far to find his much eats he says can be found everywhere for example in this park in barcelona.

momento right on their own or surrounded by birds that are making all kinds of different sounds. but we're always so wrapped up in ourselves that we don't notice it. but i want to appeal to people's curiosity so they look up for a change listen and enjoy all of this beauty even if i was going out rather than invent that if with out of this area for. with out of high speed photography condenses time and makes the invisible visible. there are so many mysteries of nature that still need to be explored look at the all of really totals for example they're known for their behavior of synchronized nesting in boss numbers females return to the scene where they hatch to lay their eggs one of these beaches is an only shop after discovering there who live the

marine ecosystem here the local fisherman are safeguarding the hatchlings bay and light. or you could lead to a. tools like to lay the eggs at night. here on india's eastern coast there are masses of them. every year during hatching season locals from going love our village collect the eggs. they do this to protect the olive diddley's which i an endangered species. during nesting season the fishermen work day and night. we patrol the beach every night to recover the ailing or injured totals and recover the eggs. we bring these eggs to artificial and put them in holes before they hatch after about $45.00 days. thereafter we put them back into the sea.

every year hundreds of thousands of all of ridley turtles arrive on the indian coast to lead the eggs. the event usually draws crowds of tourists but this year lockdown measures mean the beaches are quiet. and as a result fewer eggs are being disturbed and the animals can get on with nesting in peace. for more than a decade the villagers have taken part in an initiative led by an organization called action for protection of wild animals the n.d.o. was set up in 1909 after the cost of a dish i was devastated by a cycler. the organization works with the locals to help protect the environment the fishermen take care of the turtle eggs by placing them in protected nesting sites so they can hatch safely. i. pulled a we have seen 4 totaled laying eggs we have recovered $480.00 eggs from the nesting

sites and believe that almost 80 or 85 percent of them will convert into had. just one in a 1000 all of. many perish in fishermen's nets and climate change poses an additional threat. you cannot hold our climate to the sea turtles are affected by climate change in many ways then everything would generally used to happen in the month of february has now shifted to march. we were hit by cycling phoney last year. the floods excessive rains and high temperatures are also affecting the nesting. the warmer temperatures lead to a higher number of females and increased nest failures. protecting the eggs becomes all the more important. the villages actually used to each them but once it became

clear how important overall the dawdled play in the marine environment they stopped . being people total is also known as a fisherman's friend as they act like scavengers and eat carcasses. jellyfish a natural predator of small fish. if the number of turtles decline there would be less fish to catch as the jellyfish will consume the other fish affecting the livelihood of the fisherman. going to some border. many local women are now contributing to environmental protection by collecting plastic waste from the beach. dawdled are less likely to breed on polluted beaches . did a big jerk or b is showing them how to set up artificial hatching sites and the sad little. athol be so god with the experience so he just reading awareness to establish

a successful model of a community based on lived really conservation of peace we train the locals to patrol so as to collect and relocate valuable eggs to the artificial hearts of these. niggling as they are in the least we protect them from stray dogs and poaching. copy reckons they've released around 260000 baby turtles into the sea over the last 10 years. they haven't been able to monitor them so it's unclear how many have survived or even returned. but they hope that the future years will bring as many eggs as this year. but. that's all we have for you today i hope this show has shown you that technology like everything else can be put to bad and good juice it's the choice we make on how to use it that's really back to us we'll see you again next week until then stay safe take good care of yourselves and your loved ones go back.

to you.
