out and why but that's what we talk about today hello welcome to eco india. coming to you from my makeshift home studio here in mumbai the city of google was created in 1979 only 40 years ago from what was primarily a rule that its proximity to denny short huge potential for its development to me it's one of the biggest corporate hubs in the country but surrounded by the glitz of modernization is a biodiversity hot spot sandwiched by the expanding city fighting to be saved and kept alive. it's hard to believe double slash fielden a score of the monger buying his finest lies within an hour's drive of the world's most polluted capital that one of the forest tribal residents fights hard

each day to protect this. i have been a forest ever since i was a little boy could be because i am from the monger community because i was a little different from other kids and you do my physical disability because. you can at the age when all the other children were running around and playing i would spend all my time to the community elders. whatever the reason it is my belief that. the 4000 acre mongol forest isn't always as which lies in the national capital region flanked by new delhi on one side and its affluent suburbs off gogel and for on the other so need her so now believes he is one of the weiss's of this highly

bio diverse batch of cream. it lies in the valley of the obviously mountains and is a tropical dry forest it is home to more than 30 native tree species and is buzzing with wildlife. part of this rich land is a valley a sacred grove with generations of horse and asked community has been trying to protect. the centuries old treasure reflects the community's reverence for the ancient forest and the spirit which is set to watch over it. 'd as different people worship different gods or. he's the protector. or. for all of us who follow him

damaging the monger bonnie is like going against him in his room. but unlike just a generation ago mongo bonnie is shrinking. being slowly sold mind or dug up and the water table has become almost entirely exposed. the biggest threat today isn't growth because when that happened it was illegal. occupying force there by staying and doing something which as a result they do not allow forests to grow or to decide to build something on there then there is no hope. for a start again. do

they have installed. on one side and build this gate here. in the 1980 s. monger's prime location near daily guard the eyes of real estate developers there keen interest led to rampant privatisation of much of the forest the land was once considered religious commons of. lakehurst and as ancestors it was bought from them for as little as $500.00 rupees or $65.00 euros per acre. hairston as activism led him to meet land rights experts like jay than a garage who has studied the forest for years their relationship yielded a small victory in 2014 when the state government identified almost 700 acres of the sacred grove and over 1000 acres of surrounding forest as a nor construction zone but the future of monger's conservation depends on

a simple question does the government even consider mongered a forest. they recorded. the 1st over there can be used for agriculture and. the exercise to identify. the meaning so therefore they said yes to everything for identification. and. recognize it. when speaking with me but they don't. need to make that list. and make a list of. $0.40 for next to the meeting. in search of better livelihoods most of the monger caminiti has taken up jobs in the new sprawl rendering the forest useless to them they move to cities to do mostly menial jobs and almost never to turn to their forest winning ways.

it is almost impossible to engage with the communities. but instead i shifted my focus to the next generation these are children who would be decision makers in the next 10 to 15 i wanted to reconnect them to the forest connect. person as mission manifested itself into an informant equal in $2151.00 that has brought together more than 20 children from mongol religious person our mentors towards developing a scientific understanding of monger bonnie. can you tell us the names of some of the good. indian picked up by the t.v. .

as the children learn to build small check dams to prevent soil erosion or laundered of course the changing personnel hopes they develop a will to protect mongar bonnie. i'm fighting for the because this work is my passion i'm not doing it to appease people living in delhi or god it is the duty of every person to protect and i am simply fulfilling my responsibility. personnel's personal fight has turned political which might be the only way to save one of the last remaining green lungs around one of india's most polluted regions. now let's look at one of the most decisive factor that determines the day to be life for people in. traffic and leaves people frustrated and intentional and not to mention how best of need contributions to and bachmann. in bangkok

a pilot the situation is different but according to finding solutions to tackle this problem head on. welcome to bangkok and to endless clogged streets the traffic crawls along if it moves at all. most of the drivers here are commuters who live in the thai capital quiet suburbs. is 3 jitter party ma is one of the millions of such commuters she lives in the lock sea district of northern bangkok at 7 am she begins her journey and eats her breakfast at the wheel. it's a pattern repeated by commuters all over the city most choose to leave early as they don't know how long they'll need to get to work. the traffic various from one day to the next some days the congestion beginnings right outside my door other days it starts somewhere on the journey but more or

less the entire route from my place to work is congested it's around 20 kilometers yet happy. the journey takes an hour and a half she once worked out that she wastes $32.00 days of her life every year stuck in traffic not to mention the impact on the environment concert by all the exhaust fumes. monitoring stations across the city measure the air quality and deliver the results to the city authorities officials here say particulate matter is a real problem in bangkok as they know from personal experience. or pawing. personally i'd like to go for walks in the city but i would. sometimes i notice that it's difficult to bring. there but there are times when i get home and my eyes of watering. and sometimes when i walk into the house my

family starts new using as if i had brought the particulate matter with me. and this is one of the worst culprits the old diesel powered buses that crisscross the city most are around 25 years old they're popular because they're cheap to ride they account for around one 3rd of all journeys made in the city but they need to get stuck in traffic around 60 percent of journeys are made by private car that will have to change if thailand is to meet its pledge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2030. the government transport department says it's on the case. in the.

first thing we have to do is build up a better public transport network and that the only ones there are enough public transport options for people to use but we start tackling the issue of private cars . then still insist on using their own car they will have to pay a charge to see the whole. charge. one of the main plans is to expand the elevated rapid transit system or sky train as it's known by 2029 the network is sent to cover 500 kilometers right now the train service remember to me small number of people only 3 percent of our average ernie's are made on the sky train or underground metro system. most of the passengers are young and middle class. i find this is the most reliable way to travel i need it means i can plan and i know how long i

need for the journey not like that which sometimes doesn't turn up all the driver refuses to let you on board. i'm about to take the sky train station. take me 15 minutes. the same journey by taxi it would take 40 minutes. that's why i use the train. for those who don't live near the train line there's a relatively new service available and that allows them to book a took took which will then take them to the nearest train station the auto rickshaw. providing a relatively quiet emission free journey to the sky train. the company behind it move me has only been going 3 years.

we're doing quite well. but. before. like elsewhere many people in bangkok have seen their income take a hit in the current pandemic so the idea of introducing a school for cars in the city is a sensitive issue. the benefits would surely make it worthwhile but better air quality and quieter and less congested roads and the income from the toll could be invested in further improving the public transport system. but in european cities too the debate over congestion charges continued for many years before action was taken and many western countries still don't have congestion tolls but things in bangkok clearly can't continue as they are the city currently has over 10000000

motorized vehicles 1000000 of them were added last year alone. modern city be bangkok or delhi come with a lot of basics we take for granted access to a working street lights a good school and even new age books like english why fight what room areas opened remain behind the even though like in india the greater part of the population lives a wage in the desert state of roger's tonics believing that we could have strained reiko is up early this morning our neighbors will be over soon to help construct a thought outside the heart rate she and her brother live. they lost their parents a few years ago and now the religion is raising the children.

or you. might call the villagers. in every possible and water since both of their parents passed away we have a range for different. neighbors also building the toilet behind. why it is not uncommon for village communities to adopt children without. the community in the special they come together to help each other which has resulted in becoming the 1st to smart bridge in the state of roger stone. building is one especially this is now one of the few will edges in the country in which every household has a functioning toilet we also claim to have had to get it open definition. which is still a big problem in india but it wasn't easy winning over the community it took a long time for local n.g.o.s named eco needs to come and each community member of the philosophy behind described. this model village is

a village which provide the basic. required. and dignified life the smart religious stems from a government initiative that developed village centers creates jobs and make rural communities more self-reliant it's also a step to work and slowing down increasing. equal needs has helped ensure that basic resources are preserved and managed in 2016 together the build a 3 kilometer long artificial canard that has since helped recharge the groundwater with 97000000 liters of water per year. this is going to the system of the water i'm going to be going through this what i'm going to stay in the water is that we tell you go to ground as it is you are for

agricultural but it was an. animal but. while the village develops on multiple fronts the next generation including ereka and her brother are being crane employed in the skills. involved in the computer program. while recurrence the latest next which the community sells as a core. since the project has the full support of the residents stands as an example of a real community whose members take pride in the real life while moving further along the path of self-reliance. now if you're like me you want to escape the fast in 3 chance you get and head to the quiet night but in europe the trend of. religion is harming the environment the pandemic is providing some relief from the hordes of.

one such hotspot in austria using this time to find solutions. in how austria many locals were worried that tourists wouldn't come this year to admire the mountains the lake and the quaint village all due to the coronavirus a place where no tourism means no income but they're not worried any more visitors are here in abundance the hotels still don't have as many customers as they'd like but kaleena him spankers boat rental business is doing just fine. justin we don't have the whole world here because of the flight problems but we've got austrians germans basically europeans before the pandemic the village drew many international tourists and day trippers the alpine setting is popular on instagram

last year over $21000.00 tour buses brought around $1000000.00 visitors to the village of just $760.00 inhabitants. doubts mayor doesn't miss the era of over tourism. you have these a group. groups with a guide carrying a flag in front and people wearing headsets so it's very loud. but it was too much for some locals and it would stand behind it that these will. then suddenly in spring of 2020 austria had to go into lockdown due to the covert 1000 pandemic grew quiet its restaurants were empty and there wasn't any revenue coming in but the local population then rediscovered the original house shot but what about the future actually returning to preterism days isn't an option the municipality depends on income from tourism to subsidise services such as school meals and care

for the elderly locals value tourism but there is a question about what caused it because there must i think that we should cut mass tourism down by half and double quality tourism where visitors stay for longer that would be a good mix. if they could be from. coupling to hemet spag or has a different view. that i need daytrippers. want higher quality tourists to stay here for longer but i don't think that kind of long term tourism is flashing at the moment that was true even before the pandemic. is currently developing a new system to deal with the tour buses the number of which is. that huge increase again in the future. they will have to register in advance and stay for longer it's not clear whether this will impact of the amount or form of tourism. the village would rather not become an open air exhibit for massive amounts of day trippers

again but avoiding that in the future will require a balancing act by hotshots mayor and its tourism dependent residents. i think that often places that are made of concrete glass and steel often because the return on investment for a building is far higher than that for a green space like a park or a garden but when present greens have a positive impact on people's mental health a german architect had a special idea to strike a balance between the 2. it doesn't get any greener than this this stunning building complex in the western german city of dissolute off will soon be home to shops and offices some 30000 pounds a door on the outside if. you're trying to bring some green into the city through a quite radical approach onto the rooftops and facades and such an example to make

people stop and take so i'm a big think. christof ing and hovan is a star architect from just sort of his cueball going to has the largest green facade anywhere in europe the hedges have a total length of about 8 kilometers they serve a primarily ecological purpose. really didn't have to be experiencing very hot cities it is and they're getting even hotter much more so than the surrounding areas because of the many heat reflecting off the top of course a roof like this is an enormous help because it not only covers the interior but does so in a very comfortable way. in hovan is widely regarded as one of the world's most innovative architects his designs can now be found from europe to australia. in 2018 the merino one opened in singapore some 350 species of tropical plants are integrated into this residential and office building.

ask yourselves what would be growing year if we didn't build it and how can we go. you might say a clean piece of ground back to the people that's known as replacement we set up our own nursery to do is released a piece of ground and grew the plants almost it was almost a kind of business in itself. one of. the steps. in who haven't started his firm in hovan architects in 1905 his team has since one several international competitions keeping in tune with nature and customizing to local conditions have become the whole marks of his architecture he created an expensive health resort on the north sea island with such brief houses as environmentalist's have criticised the project which is close to a conservation area in 2006 the left hand side aviation center the airline's new head office opened at frankfurt airport all the work spaces have

a view of the integrated garden that also works to absorb some of the airplane noise the offices are also designed to be open and flexible. we're down a bit we're up to me modern office work means it's no longer work confined to an office people shouldn't have to spend the whole day sitting at their desks they should be able to work in the cafeteria the hallways and lobbies of the garden. in his hometown dissolute of crystal in hove on wants to harmonize the city's architectural legacy with his visions for its future its green design has been nicknamed mean and hovan valley. the will to find solutions like this what will help you step give and take relationship with the embodiment reliving i hope you enjoy it to the school will be back next week with many inspiring solutions and until then. good care of

starts october 16th. this is you know we knew his life for berlin paris attack a knife assault in the french capital 2 people injured one of them seriously and 2 suspects in custody the attack comes as the trial is underway of suspects in the terror attack on the office of the satirical magazine charlie abdul back in 2015 also coming up from the arctic to australia in. global day of climate action is

under way the phrase for future movements were turns for the 1st time since the start of the pandemic and the number of people hospitalized with kovac 19 in france surges to levels not seen since june on our major cities are preparing to reimpose restrictionist to curb the 2nd wave. of the heart thank you so much for your company everyone police in paris say 2 people have been injured one seriously and a knife attack while 2 suspects have been arrested france's counter terrorism prosecutor says it has opened an investigation into attempted murder with a suspected terrorist link the incident occurred near the former offices of the satirical magazine charlie adult well that was the size of a terrorist attack in 2015 that killed 12 people. lisa luis's at the scene

for you in paris lisa can you fill us in on the condition of the victims how are they doing. well both of them are hospitalized him parents in 2 different hospitals i understand their life is not in danger one person is most severely injured than the others but probably there better than at the beginning of you know after that right after the attack we understand that these 2 people are working for a production company that has its offices in the same building where the former offices of shoddy adore them it's a trick a magazine that was attacked ingenue 2015 located and that these 2 people actually had gone down to smoke a cigarette and were then attacked by probably one man with a chopping knife and tell us about the a situation now at the scene where you are has security been tightened.

well as you can see behind me fireworks are still here there is still a police presence on the ground but the security cordon is being lifted bit by bit the area was cordoned of in a large permit and thousands of young children and pupils were told to stay at school and wait until they can actually leave and go home now this has been lifted too and more and more police officers leaving the scene and apparently the focus is now on finding out what exactly happened this may day and why the attacker probably apparently was just one man maybe helped by one more man and why he did that actually so do we know who the have the law enforcement identified the attacker. we don't have any i did vacation of the man just yet we are hearing that it's an 18 year old man but that's not been confirmed by the police or the prosecutor just yet

now normally what happens in such a case is that you know the police the criminal police is investigating the prosecutor's office as you said the anti terror section of the prosecutor's office has been charged with base case and they're looking into this and at one point when they know enough they come in front of the press and hold a press conference but it's not really normally the case that the police will give out information to journalists before that really. police and this brings obviously back many painful memories is this city on which. absolutely you know it's not just that this attack happened right at the bottom of the former news room of sharia of the sticker so chirk a magazine that was attacked and jenny trying to 15 the timing is also very interesting actually because the court case on the potential hope was of the genii trying to 15 attackers is ongoing right now so it seems that it is really symbolic

that this attack happened right here and today during these few weeks when the court case is ongoing and some politicians have been saying you know maybe we need to look into this because there are a few sites in france especially in paris that have been attacked in the past by a terror attack has and maybe these sites need to be protected more because it looks like they have become a target for potential future attacks recently we saw reporting for you from paris thank you the freddy's for future climate protests are back for the 1st time since the started 6 months ago when the unprecedented rallies calling for climate protection went online when the pandemic began well today more than 3000 climate strike events are taking place all over the world. standing on an ice floe at $82.00 degrees north in the middle of the arctic ocean. 18 year old mio wants you to notice the sea of slush surrounding her. coming down on to the

we treat us crisis we will be able to do so for so. it comes after a long pause for the fridays for future movement which was forced to move online as corona virus spread definitely the beginning of march very much though down our plans because we were planning to have a really big strike a pro however it has given us time to connect as a movement internationally across borders so we're a lot closer now as a movement globally even if we can't physically be as many. here demonstrating students have been striking on fridays for more than 2 use their aim has remained the same in all that time to put pressure on those in power before the damage becomes irreversible nowhere is that more pressing than in the arctic. we're past the point of a wakeup call we're past the point of ignorance we have to act now or we're going to lose everything. and we need to make sure the leaders are the says makers

understand and care enough to do something about. well protests around the world have been driving their message home in a variety of ways our reporter marina strauss tells us how they're doing it in the belgian capital brussels here and rock the current protesters want to set a light on those regions of the world that already affected by climate say it's easy because of the global pandemic minute immobilised after many people in their lives before this from emily to for very different contracts here behind me you can see maybe a massive says from climate protesters from all around the world there are just so that grime and strains is the global problem that the climate movement is that global brands a great moment bring a strauss and a brussels want to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. ruth bader ginsburg has become the 1st woman and the 1st jewish
