discrete or no chemical. it's true. step. to. strike. the students are. training successful. scotch october 1st. w. b a. more than half of the world's population lives in cities to be at this number is only expected to grow in the coming years with modern society geared towards becoming more and more organized and how we really reach around the world and what does this

mean for 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. it's proximity to demi 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 think of and kept alive. it's hard to believe that this lush field in a score of the monger buying his fondest 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 clean jewelry. once a month. i have been a dark forest ever since i was a little boy could be because i am from the monger community because i was a little different from the other kids that you do my physical disability because. 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 believe that. the 4000 acre mongar forest is an oasis which lies in the national capital region flanked by new delhi on one side and its affluent suburbs off google and 40 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 meter of tree species and is buzzing with wildlife. part of this rich land is a valley a sacred grove with generations of horse and as 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. he's the protector. 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 mongar bonnie is shrinking. being slowly soul and mind are 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 to be. occupied for the time by staying in doing something. which as a result they do not all forests to grow going to decide to build something on there then there is no hope. again.

they have installed. on one side and build this gate here. in the 1980 s. monger's prime location near daily court the eyes of real estate developers there keen interest led to dampen privatisation of much of the forest the land was once considered village commons of foreigners to 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. can be used for agricultural. exercise. so therefore they said yes to everything for more identification. recognizes that. speak. but they don't. need to make that list they're going to get that last step and make a list of. $0.40 for next to the meeting. in search of better livelihoods most of the monger community has taken up jobs in the new. rendering the forest useless to them they move to cities to do mostly menial jobs and almost never to turn to their forest willingly.

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 force to connect. hearts and those mission manifested itself into an informant equal to $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. indian cricket by the t.v. .

as the children learn to build small check dams to prevent soil erosion or laundered record field changing personnel hopes they develop a will to protect mongar bonnie. bell 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 us and i am simply fulfilling my responsibility. person as personal fight has turned political which might be the only way to save one of the last remaining dream lungs around one of india's most polluted regions. now let's look at one of the most decisive factor that determines the deed to be life for people involved traffic going to leave people frustrated and in trouble and not to mention how bastardly contributions to and bachmann. in bangkok the gospels and

your pilot 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's quiet suburbs. it's eerie 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 that 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 begins 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 have . 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 const 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. i could go for boarding. personally i like to go for walks in the city. 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 all 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 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.

the 1st thing we have to do is build up a better public transport network the. only way and once there are enough public transport options for people to use well we start tackling the issue of private cars. when they will then still insist on using their own car they will have to pay a charge. all. charge. one of the main plans is to expand the elevated rapid transit system for sky train as it's known by 2029 the network is sent to cover 500 kilometers right now the train service remember to a small number of people only 3 percent of all over journeys are made on the skytrain or underground metro system. most of the passengers are young and middle class. i find this 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 would take 40 minutes. that's used. for those who don't live near the train line there's a relatively new service available and app 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 we got. the call we had. before. and now we. want to. expand. on this year. like elsewhere many people in bangkok have seen their income take a hit in the current pandemic so the idea of introducing a tool 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 on my own. modern city can be bangkok or delhi come with a lot of basics we take for granted we need access to toilets a working street lights a good school and even a new age books like seamless why fight what rural areas opened remain behind because you know like in india the greater part of the population lipstick a winch in the desert state of. believing that we could have books destroyed reiko is up early this morning our neighbors will be over soon to help construct a court outside the house where she and her brother live. they lost their parents a few years ago and now the religion is raising the. or

you. might call the villagers. in every way 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 just been done becoming the 1st a smart religion in the state of roger stone. building toilets is one a spin this is now one of the few will edges in the country in which every household has a functioning toy they 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 to come once each community member of the philosophy behind destroyed. the smart villages or villages provide the basic.

required. and dignified life the smart religious stems from a government initiative that aims to develop village centers creates jobs and make rural communities more self-reliant it's also a step to work and slowing down increasing. eco needs has helped ensure that basic resources are preserved and managed in 2016 together they've built 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 on the water i'm going to be going through this what about that with a system where water is of italian to the ground as well as it is use or 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 by the skills. involved in the computer program. while ricker learns to make snacks 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 chance you get and head to the quiet countryside but in europe the trend of. religion is harming the environment the pandemic has provided some relief from the hordes of

rushing in one hot spot in austria using this time to find solutions. in house 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 spanking his 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 run instagram

last year over $21000.00 tour buses brought around $1000000.00 visitors to the village of just $760.00 inhabitants. mayor doesn't miss the era of over tourism. you have these a coupe he groups with a guide carrying a flag in front and people wearing headsets so it's very loud. it was too much for some locals. and it would stand behind what the people. then suddenly in spring of 2020 austria had to go into lockdown due to the covert 19 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 just subsidise services such as school meals and care for the

elderly locals value tourism but there's a question about what caused it. i think that we should cut the mosque tourism down by half and double quality tourism where visitors stay for longer that would be a good mix if it is but if he can be full. cup winning a hemet spag or has a different view. then i need daytrippers. want higher quality tourists to stay here for longer but i don't think that kind of long term tourism is flash at the moment that was true even before the pandemic. house struck just currently developing a new system to deal with the tour buses the number of which is expected to increase again in the future. it will have to register in advance and stay for longer it's not clear whether this will impact to the amount or form of tourism. the village would rather not become an open marriage zip it for massive amounts of

detractors again but avoiding that in the future will require a balancing act by hotshots mayor and its tourism dependent residents. our cities are often. made of concrete glass and steel often because there's a toll on investment for a building is far higher than that for a green space like a park or a garden but when present these greens have a positive impact on people's mental health or job an 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 hedgerow plants adorned 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. some. stuffing and hovan is a star architect from disserved off his curb organ to has the largest green façade anywhere in europe the hedges have a total length of about 8 kilometers they serve a primarily ecological purpose. have to be experiencing very hot cities it is and they're getting even hotter much more so than surrounding areas because of the many heat reflecting off the top of 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. and 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 ourselves what would be growing here 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 as we sort of 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. is an art in the name is deceptive. in who haven't started his firm in hovan architects in 1905 his team has since won 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 of zone with thatched roof houses but environmentalists have criticised the project which is close to a conservation area in 2006 they looked tenser aviation center the airlines 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 going to walk to the 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 off kristoff in over months to harmonize the city's architectural legacy with his visions for its future its green design has been nicknamed inhofe and valley. the way to find solutions like this what will help us step give and take relationship with me and bob and to relive it i hope you enjoy it to the school we'll be back next week with many what inspired him solutions and until then and
