tried to go outside to the north sea we adapted to boats for that but really they're too small we tried for years to go out there in spring to get back on our feet. only club to run. in the struggle to allocate lands and seen in the densely populated netherlands nature has one less time the fish have returned to the market mallaig and for once that only being hunted by the birds. when people intervene in nature things can also go very wrong what arsons is an aquatic plant from the amazon in south america came to africa a century or more ago they invest is for see grows and spreads incredibly fast and has significant negative impacts on the ecosystem for instance because rivers and lakes and deprives the water of oxygen a woman's cooperative in gaza has developed

here on lake victoria it's dense foliage creates a sort of floating mud that makes it hard for boats to move through the water the fisherman catch has fallen dramatically. in postum in germany michael booklet has spent years researching invasive species like water hyacinths and studying their impact on the water eco system then in dust when most of the sunlight is absolved on the surface then much less reaches into depths that leads to a big reduction in any great growth so they are novel able nutrients at the very start of the food chain are bonuses and are. there are no water hyacinth on display here because they are no longer allowed to be grown in the european union in africa where they've expanded massively efforts underway to find new solutions to combat the invasive species the scripts like lining their 2 tapes over reveal that it was the hyacinths and brydon their leaves so they were introduced in problem areas in

africa as a way of reducing the plant spread but before you do something like that you have to be absolutely sure that the one decided they prefer the african aquatic plants to what a high since and start eating them instead so you're thinking of our money became friends in most regions the plants still have to be have a state manually ideally before their growth has spiraled out of control global mommas only process a fraction of the water hyacinths had listed from the water river but at least they have found a constructive use for this invasive and highly challenging species. the pandemic has hit the badminton eject very hard since many of them worked in the toryism industry as guides or in waterfalls and resorts on the red sea but then came the current of i was bringing travel bans and lucked out when they lost their jobs many of them decided to go back to their families and communities in the
