welcome to eco india. coming to you from mumbai i wonder still only in cheek it was a population of 1000000000 people and more the number of people the creator the fight for space nobody amongst ourselves but even with other species that inhabit a planet for decades the people of hossam in the south indian state of could not have been there through longer heads with the elephants that inhabit the region often proving fickle for both man and animal but acknowledged to be a solution is saving lives on both sides of the divide. the so easy. for them to do it right i was supposed to arrive this morning but i couldn't are so your message in the morning stay there live inside this don't do a lot often breaks up the signs of elephant movement to his plantation home or the door is broken to take

a look here. well they used animals have in advertently damaged 7 acres of asperity and several of his coffee and palm trees. in the front have a huge impact on our livelihood leaving our daily life has become very difficult. damage whatever we can to the lot of more of. the latest encounter however was different a message he received just in time helped him a major disaster on this plantation. when one of the only one a week ago i got an alert message saying there is an elephant in this area one of my laborers 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 attacked and i would get an. awesome district. lives as some of the

largest populations of violation elephants in india they live mostly in the plantations monocultures and paddy fields around the town's. conflict with humans began to get serious around the 19th seventies when this district that used to be largely forest began to become urbanized the forest is now highly fragmented and largely replaced by human habitation as. well developments have blundered into the villages of. villages please be vigilant please be vigilant. the forest department must stay on their toes to keep elephants and humans out of conflict. every time. there are crop damages. on high waters they partner and is also under
12:34 pm
a lot of pressure. so. under this pressure. there has been an influx of new. fields in plantations or elephants who are wide ranging species that migrate to iran in search of places that will allow them to eat and breed exercises like relocation has largely failed in the past sometimes increasing the confident humans . even the. response of a conservation organization that has been working in the area since 2015 to develop technology solutions. local elephants presence as a gentle way of ensuring no lives are lost on either side.
12:35 pm
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. and 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 by to just bring their mobile number with the organization. retrieved. separately this is a public service announcement why didn't fins have been sighted in the villages we
12:36 pm
request to. to be vigilant at all times and i mean that 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. it's. because of these interventions that. have. in the last one year. which has never happened in the. department's repetitious ponce team suppose and see you have.
12:37 pm
this group of 48 people mostly locals who have been created by the forest to physically track the elephant herds 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 in. their. state. i think it's. because they have.
12:38 pm
warning system has helped produced conflict in the hudson 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 so percent of the global carbon dioxide emissions every single source squarely on the internet consumes energy a company in burnley has decided to make search queries environmentally friendly when you use the platform the profits generated are invested into reforestation programmes farmers in the provision 6000 kilometers away are benefiting from this trip. to take. farming is a view of life here in the vested not a british legion but practically all of the forest have been failed to create this
12:39 pm
area will land. bunkers giago hills from the village of the 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 in a great deforestation plus the religions where not planting rest sackings then they felt that we are being suffocated and we are going against our environment and nature. now by a country album is taking a new approach but the project for reforestation. this earthlings were donated by the sustainable green initiative to meet the needs of local farmers the end you choose fruit bearing treats despite them absorbing less carbon dioxide.
12:40 pm
in the initial stages when we started in 2002 and we were just planting regular trees what i would what we would call timber trees i would your trees sometime in 2013 our elders told us hunger malnutrition made the challenges and 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 here 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 deforestation projects in countries all around the world. google is the market leader in search engines
12:41 pm
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 plants like. the project in the back but the reason 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 meal fruit trees. 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 their plant. not die not using. only are going to. pile also look into the
12:42 pm
marketing so we get decent returns for these really. each tree will generate some 12 euro's per year like this but i hear local farmers will get around $200.00 trees the blooms will bear fruit between 15 and 20 years. this will get 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. scientists are

trying to do their bit to preserve it with the help of what. they hope the people of what is. like to be a came swimming in the amazon river. a frog jumping around in this virtual reality installation participants can slip into the 5 different animals. my favorite one is the vampire. 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 no clue grantor team at the interactive media foundation company in berlin designed the installation may
12:44 pm
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 with the knowledge 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 and then the way they experience the world. and it's working we've had lots of people asking us if it will be 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 berlin's natural history museum. biologist yano hoffman
12:45 pm
initially found a few mistakes to correct in the virtual reality installation. yeah i just think that is right on 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 the. 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. 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
12:46 pm
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 this digital exhibit we're 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 the harvey you go through the amazon in virtual reality.

12:48 pm
wanted to show another side of nature's beauty a beauty that's created by potter's movement so. the former fashion photographer lives in barcelona he has devoted 8 years to his photo project titled only toggery fees from the greek word for birds and for writing. his 1st graph so world wide. is that the word for a mass of these patterns of always being invisible to us. perception is limited to the moments of somebody else you see here is a few seconds compressed into a single image as if you could see those seconds as a single moment. but so windows that's not possible except with this technology the former secret burma's where. to create one image he meticulously cases hundreds of photos on top of one another. in rapid succession following the

principle of the krona the process developed in the mid 19th century to study motion sequences. 1878 english photographer edward my bridge used it to show that a galloping horse actually leaves the ground for a few milliseconds. inofficial beds can hardly be identified and charlie boasts 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. when there was a child to keep the bird watching with his grandfather he's been fascinated with bats ever since and he doesn't have to travel far to find his much eats he says that can be found everywhere for example in this park in barcelona.
12:50 pm
momento right on their own are surrounded by birds that are making all kinds of different surrounds. but we're always so wrapped up in yourselves 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 this beauty even if you know you thought i was going out of the un in that if without the star you're for. with out of high speed photography it 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 turtles for example they're known for their behavior of synchronized nesting in the last number as females return to the scene where they hatch to leave their eggs one of these beaches is an only shop after discovering there who live
12:51 pm
the marine ecosystem here the local fisherman are safeguarding the hatchlings day and night. well you did lead to our 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 the injured totals and recover the eggs we bring these eggs to artificial hatchery and put them in holes before they hatch off to about $45.00 days. thereafter we put them back into the sea.
12:52 pm
every year hundreds of thousands of all of really totals arrive on the indian coast to lay 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 in 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 hatched safely. i. pulled a we have seen 4 totaled laying eggs we have recovered $480.00 eggs from the nesting
12:53 pm
sites and believe that almost 80 or 85 percent of them will convert into had. just one in a 1000 or literally total baby survive many perish in fishermen's nets and climate change poses an additional threat. not. the sea turtles i think of my climate change in many ways the next thing we're generally used to happen in the month of february has now shifted to march. we were hit by cycling phony 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
12:54 pm
clear how important overall the dawdled play in the marine environment they stopped . me. also known as a fisherman's friend as they act like scavengers and eat carcasses. they are you going jellyfish a natural predator of small fish. if the number of total 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 to be. 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 video card he is showing them how to set up artificial hatching sites in the sand . experience yes trading awareness to establish
12:55 pm
a successful model of a community based on live really conservation. we train the locals to patrol so as to collect and relocate valuable eggs to the artificial. as they are released we protect them from stray dogs and poaching. can be reconceived 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. 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 shoes it's the choice we make on how to use it that really matters we'll see you again next week until then stay safe big good care of yourselves and your loved ones good buy. it's.
