damages. as a partner and there's also a lot of pressure. so. under this pressure. and every time. there has been an influx of new. fields in plantations or truck elephants who are wide ranging species that migrate to iran in search of places that will allow them to eat and greet exercises like relocation has largely failed in the past sometimes increasing the confident humans . with no cushioning response and 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 and launched an early warning system the 1st efforts 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. preview.
4:36 pm
separately this is a public service announcement why didn't ins have been cited in the villages we request you do. vigilant at all times in any union. and you wonder just received alerts in the local language 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. lights. because of these interventions the average human have. in the last one year. which has never happened in the history of.
4:37 pm
steam suppose. this group of 48 people are 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 seen. i think it's. because they have.
4:38 pm
the warning system has helped reduced 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 the 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 interview forestation programs farmers in the provision 6000 kilometers away are benefiting from this too . farming is

a view of life here in the vested not the british legion but practically all of the parties have been failed to create this aerial land. punky other 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 in a great deforestation plus the religions where not planting 1st saplings then they felt that we are being suffocated and we're going against our environment and nature. now by country our globe 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 to

n.g.o.s jools food being trees despite them absorbing less carbon dioxide. in the. yes when we started in 2002 and we were just planting regular trees what i would what we would call timber trees where i would your trees sometime in 2013 our elders told us hunger malnutrition. and they convinced us that our ship should be towards trees because fruit trees can actually change many many lives fruits from these trees can be eaten from nutrition within the family extra fruits can be sold to create income. because she is a small company based in berlin that is called finding the project in the will of. the team here have set up their own internet search engine earning money from. 80
4:41 pm
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 plants like. the project and 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 real fruit trees. others regular income is the equivalent of $700.00 euros a year as a farmer for him and other small scale farmers here the extra money from harvesting
4:42 pm
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 year olds like this but i hear local farmers will get around 200 trees the plants will bear fruit publicly in 15 and 20 years. is this really good 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's

biodiversity has been declining alarmingly in recent years scientists are trying to do their bit to preserve it with the help of what. they hope to the people a bit of what it's. like to be a cayman swimming in the amazon river. or a frog jumping around in this virtual reality installation participants can slip into the 5 different animal. my favorite one is the vampire 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 the night vision it's fantastic.
4:44 pm
you have to watch out for the spiders behind. you no clue guide and our team at the interactive media foundation company in berlin designed the installation they recreated $400.00 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 programmed the installation is now touring museums around the world. and with the knowledge that 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 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
4:45 pm
research the artists needed input from scientists they worked closely with biologists berlin's natural history museum. biologist yano hoffman initially found a few mistakes to correct in the virtual reality installation. yeah i just had that is right 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 it's in. its. 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
4:46 pm
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 game 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 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

plaintiff in the 3rd i wasn't trying to take just ordinary pictures of vultures or 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 face or project ties would only tell graffiti is from the greek words for birds and for writing. his photographs so worldwide. is that the performers of these patterns have always been invisible to us of 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 you say windows that's not possible except with this
4:49 pm
technology the former speaker 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 process developed in the mid 19th century to study motion sequences. in 78 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 guest 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 when they view an image like this for the 1st time. when there was a child the bird watching with his grandfather has been fascinated with bats ever

nesting in the last number of females return to the scene where they hatched to lay their eggs one of these beaches is an only shop after discovering their whole of the marine ecosystem here the local fisherman are safeguarding the hatchlings bay and light. well you haven't really thought tools like to leave 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 hearts 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 really totals arrive on the indian coast to leave the eggs. in 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 new show 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 hash 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 hatchling . just one in a 1000 all of ridley total baby survive many perish in fisherman's nets and climate change poses an additional threat. not. the sea turtles are affected by 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
4:54 pm
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 . people totals are 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 totals decline there would be less fish to catch as the jellyfish will consume the other fish affecting the livelihood of the fisherman. going to be some bother to the. many local women are now contributing to environmental protection by collecting plastic waste from the beach. don't build are less likely to breed on polluted beaches. did a good year carby is showing them how to set up artificial hatching sites in the
