all of them come straight from hard to its former c.e.o. even hundreds of dealers in the marsh were injured. from. their final resting place in russia. w documentary. that. every living being in this world leaves the police to teach to a place that protects them from any external influences for many of us humans it is . in the plant and animal kingdom to get us safe these safe havens preserve biodiversity and make sure species can thrive in an age of climate change what can

be do to secure these safe havens. hello welcome to eco india. coming to you from my neighborhood in mumbai bees have a prime example for what happens when safe havens are destroyed about 80 percent of all pollination worldwide is done by bees but because of this decides global warming among other factors there foster treats and this of course affects all the plants they pollinate and environment to project in the mountain villages of. trying to help create these are treats with traditional be farming. the. episode in the indian honeybee they are at home in the mountains of the indian subcontinent there were many species of bees in the northern state of. beekeepers even the. in traditional hives on the walls of their homes there. are still keeps

his bees this way it's a practice he learned from his father. holly was one of the typical characters take of the so-called march in the march quarter just every household had these behinds to harvest honey for their own you. will soon hear what these voice. in their mouth. got a lot of these. on their own i mean whatever you're good at that it was that i learned them and from callers was going to keep on out. as one of the few people who breeds bees according to the old tradition he was the bee hives much like his ancestors but instead off in the walls of the house the bees now live in the garden

. where so is every flowering plant needs to be pollinated water here hives like this the pollination of the blondes not back you. later we can also harvest honey that's about. the materials that uses to build the highways are from the region using local products makes the hives both affordable and by mentally friendly their appearance is reminiscent of the traditional him archly cottages. i bought in the past i only used to be used to produce honey i was satisfied with whatever little money i earn from it when i started taking courses i learned about the significant growth of the claim pollination especially here in a market forces like the one school leaver commodity ended are offered in conjunction with the governmental programs in an effort to aid be preservation this is important because bees are a source of income for. beekeepers. the insects also make an important contribution

to farmers harvest around one 3rd of the crops worldwide are dependent on pollinators like bees. but my hands are saying from here matter you know we're city says honeybees are endangered especially in this region. one of the biggest threats to be is the destruction of their habitats the bee flora in here much of the trade is even more imminent because fruit orchards in this state are often full of insecticides and pesticides we have seen that in our research insecticide president commission of the of. this species of bees that the government conservation programs are focused on are italian beef the so-called apis mellifera during the 1960 india imported them in hopes of motivating people to breed be scum. while indian honeybees produce an average of 7

to 10 kilograms of honey for colony annually these produced 3 times as much each year but this is also how honey became an inexpensive industrial goods today beekeepers deceive between 60 to $65.00 rupees per kilogram of honey that's around $69.00 to $75.00 euro cents the prices have also contributed to the decreasing number of small scale beekeepers in him much of announcing from them issues the collective wants to change that. the one is available a real both. the demand of the news more in the market and to meet their demand. the mix different different what i do together then process it to make it look similar in this city and here and what you see in the market is honey in the shelves which are the same

throughout the year how can that be. an initiative aims to aid in the conservation of native bees which are considered more robust and resilient than italian be they also don't require a large expanse of land. the reasons garden suffer ice as habitats for the small colony that a native to the area as a result indian bees are armed against and climate change and the news of their positive got it just takes the spreading. me that i used to have in my old house so people are more. people are more. like. they even involved with various projects including the women's groups that expound on the work of beekeepers like. manufacturing lip balm and candle provides

many women with their 1st opportunity to earn their own money since they so everyone benefits from the preservation of the beekeepers their wives and of course the bees themselves they all do their part in maintaining biodiversity. nocturnal species like bats are also struggling with changing living conditions like pollution is a major threat to. scientists in the netherlands seem to have found a solution to their helping create battery treats not only the bats but also to make sure the bear role in the ecosystem is preserved. and there's one. in their special one of figures at least 5. far away from the bright lights of amsterdam dr commune spoelstra is after a creature that likes to operate under the cover of darkness.

he is studying how lights are affecting bats so far his team has found that the 19 species of bats found in the netherlands react in widely different ways. that's have a very strong response to light there's actually driven by mostly by fear of predators so if you're about that flies very slowly you better hide away and don't show yourself in the light because it's it's risky however if you're a bat that flies very fast it's very agile and it don't need to be afraid that much for predators so you actually like taking away valuable habitat from the slow flying species an explorer giving it to that is already common. but species and that's what of course not a good thing in terms of biodiversity you actually reducing biodiversity that nocturnal species are sensitive to the blue range of light as they have evolved to

use the moon to navigate and drag in the blue the more distracting it is to test how species respond to other parts of the spectrum their research shows have put up almost $200.00 lamp posts around the country that shine a range of colors. if you take away to a new part of the spectrum and and compensate by a bit more rats which you actually see here. and it may actually be less intrusive for these not the most species not those species may not perceive this light as intense and that's exactly what we have been served. a different kind of red light is all the rage in amsterdam and the city's nocturnal inhabitants are out in all the splendor. light here has become so bright

it is now considered a pollutant. the world over brightness and luminosity are growing at a rate of 2 percent per year. as the night gets more illuminated studies are linking light pollution to destructive natural cycles as well as mental health in humans. the international dark sky association has called for a massive reduction in light leakage as the planet is becoming so bright borders can be clearly seen from space. but the netherlands is at the forefront of fighting like pollution in europe with some and is the ballot is even switching off lights completely on parts of the highway. and there are church outside eindhoven to farmers

a nickel and her husband carlos are also members of the community fighting for darkness and its bouts for reasons of their own. tried to. kill well you know the harmful insects in the natural way so we use. insects to cool to kill other insects and that's where also the bats common because birds eat lots of cocks 1st and 1st they actually eat the roots of to fruit trees especially the apple trees and so if the bets a lot of cooks shaffer's we don't have those terrible groups in the ground eating our groups to. so. that's what we like best. that's work is natural best decides and are an essential part of how the ecosystem of the orchard functions. and this farm even has a bad hood del to make the mammals feel extra welcome. you can see over here.

there that there are better living in the better trial because the civil courts over you on the move. there excrements their prove. the community around has installed special back friendly lights in the area to make sure the animals stay put as night falls. around 10 pm the bats check out of the herd and disposed through the farm ready for a meal and to play their role in the ecosystem. maryse donner's is a researcher and signifies the company in the design the lights around the orchard . he explains that lighting is more than merely installing glowing lamps. we need lighting but we do future do with

a sustainable way. show obviously. in. great the cradle. but also in the direct effect misfires are going to have you have to reflect on their own the whole ecosystem and not just all people. but some districts in the netherlands have in fact become darker as a result of such initiatives as satellite images show giving some of its residents and its resident bats the beloved's night sky back. some 12000 years ago when human beings the hunter gatherers invented agriculture they were surrounded by nature at home and at work but they did the picture is very different of course most of us who live in cities have little access to wast green

spaces borland's allotment gardens of a breath of fresh air in a world that continues to concretize at a breakneck speed. these children know fruit and vegetables don't grow in plastic that comes from their garden and they know why weeding is smart yes it helps the plants grow. they're learning all about nature right in the middle of berlin. almost a 1000000 people in germany happen a lot mint. every good sized german city has them the green space is good for the urban climate and helps preserve biodiversity this garden belongs to margaret ross harder dr yang and her partner they had to wait a long time to get their plot. sometime you see 70 years all together it took 6 years to get around to the short list but then within

a year we got it our wonderful garden. margaret's neighbor robert either is on the management committee he says a lot meant plants are hard to come by. they're. going to short coronavirus lockdown we had over 100 applications but we already have a waiting list i mean only pass on 4 or 5 gardens a year when people hand them back or move away more direct in this small communal part people on the waiting list can see if allotment life suits them many allotment communities are opening up communal plots as a way to deepen tiny's with the surrounding neighborhood and to distribute space more equitably. and i live around the corner i like coming here in the morning doing a bit of weeding and hiring maybe sit down for 10 minutes before going to work it's great and trying to. learn is a fast growing city and the gardens are often in prime locations many plots have

been bulldozed in recent years and cost $6000.00 euros a square meter around here. as a mom actually. we get calls from real estate people and find them wandering along the pathways taking photos wondering how much it might all be worth or who are not to cause a political it's an ongoing political conflict in rallies we've held talks with the city with them than i. care to schmuck is heading out to make sure a garden is being properly kept. germany has regulations governing the size and usage of allotments. so it's coming along nicely rome wasn't built in a day i have. this garden looks like it's being kept properly let's take it off on our list. and on. this gardener has sent up a 2 raised vegetable beds and that shows that she's using her plants in accordance

with the regulations. this is our 2nd visit to this plot with just $0.35 a square meter for our plots each year one of the requirements is we use it like a garden. allotment rules say growing some sort of food is important but not on a commercial scale fortunately bees are permitted to lend a helping hand like at the garden of the sea is family they had never heard of anything like german style allotment gardens when they arrived here from canada. this theme of urban gardening and gardening in cities is becoming more popular so people have a little bit more of a concept or an idea of it but what's really interesting when you tell them this urban garden has existed for a 150 years and it really. wakes them up and makes them interested because for most north americans. urban gardening is something new these days the path inside

a garden allotment community are open to all so you're free to take a stroll as long as you don't pass through a gate uninvited if you're lucky you might even get a bit of honey by opening their urban oasis to the public the communities are hoping to benefit the entire city. fifty's have given many of life a chance at prosperity but with more and more people has come more and more least in many cities open spaces have been dram used as dumping trolleys in go to gol in the national capital region of india and environmental organization is transforming a local dumping ground into a green let's see how. hundreds of kilos of plastic and other garbage cloak one of the gowns important stormwater drains citizens and labor is are now working hard to free it so floodwaters from the monsoon rains can soon

flow through it because it resembled months to find that the there was so much else we stunt double when you find that. the water this isn't being used again get to be are going to be the little small those water board so that we don't raise any of our not. to crowd runs a foundation called i am going around it works on bringing citizens together to improve summitry health and environmental conditions in the city. google is part of the national capital region around delhi and has been one of the fastest growing cities in india. its population of 2700000 bucks predominantly in corporate parks. wrap it up and eyes ation has meant the cutting down of thousands of trees and green spaces. as well as an un systematic disposal of waste.

when the organization came across this dump yard at succumb to poor in the north east of. what you know saying to clean the drain that revive it is a green space with the help of local governments who volunteer is always thinking of the board 3035 bird's eye view this is our member of our 35 or. 6 so i think. the words and deeds. and posix. terms is big on those guys because. with this much garbage gone the transformation of the region has been stock. the way i look at it but that is across prices and now and in the us if you have any of it in your life or whatever you have to find and we have a problem i think he has drawn up the time when we don't have enough downs to

manage that i think he's going to step. up succumb to they reuse as much of the garbage dug out as possible. the sewage is dried and segregated and the recovered plastic starnes and break they used to make the infrastructure of the plant city park. if it was ripe last week because it would be you know people are just going to go for the down. you predicted it separately and that is good for the baby could you know they shredded and then the dog the meat so really fine breeze overusing everything would get in any. to crow and have volunteers want to complete the drain and city forest project in the next few months. but those who live around this dump yards tons nature park feeling its benefits already.

be used to kill the big deal for you to love then they started you know meaning admitting don't believe anything. could be direction to get in a great light. edge in a great hurry gone use less money and 3 more investment in used the mill including access lose piece was just clearing the lot of remove the previous to be in use in nature for. this is the 5th such project i am going is on the verge of completing giving its residents a few havens where they can let go of the stressful lives even if just for a brief moment. while creating social safe havens is just as important some would say all of us who had a life today have gone through buckle changes in our lives because of the internet

because of climate change and of course because of the pandemic we met a teacher in indonesia who told us why social safe havens are the need of the children to be. i aim to work where that is very while but i can also do something. meaningful. what a man porn star is actually the majority ryan sat in the nation that they being. indigenous people have like a wrong lifestyle and they got to do more of that and they have to go through what most will. do the main goal is for indigenous people to be there to deal with the changes coming from the outside

world so it's usually like a tribe in with their resources natural resources but also the tradition and how to cope with. like pressure from the mainstream in the museum to impose them good new lifestyle so all these education is mostly to make them have both lead and also. at the divide so they can advocate for themselves. all of my junk goes to that. they are i would be gentle they are might be church. they're really big but i'm like i want a proselyte i want to school is quite new friend with the quad in the sepia in the jungle you criticized a lot i was criticized a lot by the student life is not the way you teach me a good life and i don't i don't want multiplication i do shimizu not like why why

they keep questioning things so they'd make us into peter. the national board of the head is standing me that this can be a good pilot or good example or any other mission of ours in indonesia and they say they think they can feed the. jumbos for program likely but i see and know and ok think you are the indigenous people with us from all parts. well in the movie here . that's all we have for you today i hope to be is the episode has given you the chance to think about how our actions impact the safety of those of other species who inhabit the planet with us i'll see you again next week until this is safe and take good care of yourself and your loved ones.
