story. students. don't stop. training successful. starts october 1st you double your. money is the driver of modern life or not it's needed to pay for the clothes we wear for the food we eat and for nearly every aspect of our lives while it's used for so many good things it's also behind some of our bad choices as a species like the destruction of the involvement to leave it for example again we needed some of these choices and use money as an incentive to protect the

environment that's what we talk about today hello welcome to eco india i'm sunk that raghu coming to you from mumbai commercial agriculture is one of the biggest reasons for before the station accounting for 14 percent of all tropical trees fell between the u.s. still positive and 2010 according to u.n. figures in regions like the west on cots in india local farmers are having to cut down trees to make ends meet to support their agricultural practices but a community project is turning pains about for the region. of. the forests around the religion and lodging of western india similar to its people especially because of his productive trees they don't want to go there also the home of the great hall with the red fruit from the crease. dr drew and 69 year old

. romani are the heads of $32.00 well it is that on the area they know of the importance of the crease. this trio of horn bills is here from ages and is being respected by our forefathers from generations the age of this tree is not less than 225 years whenever there is any function in the village this tree is worshiped 1st. the best in god's a mountainous region running to the south of mumbai in former times there was a unique rain forest here not much of it is lived many large productive crees would chop down here a few years ago to build the sri souquet. and due to economic pressures locals the culprit of the secrete to make space for livestock farming however the remaining grandfathers contained precious treasures the fruit of the baby doc

a tree our own ingredient in the i regret the herbal medicine industry the fear while function has developed a business idea from this local harvest the fruits of the crease. one of them is 22 year old roger. he has been a permanent member of the project for eighty's. and. i'm example of reverse migration who was leaving. to do a job as there was no one in the family or arning livelihood at the railway station very present to develop a nature connect on track to me and suggested me for the job of collecting. job. creating income for the local it's an important concern of the property if they no longer rely on family they don't need to chop down the crease. the

fruits are dried and then sorted by the victim of the growing of them and take of the seeds binocs among the famine is 25 years old. i come here to actual my live with my husband and also what in the next. 3 years was a beauty. journey and so not just go director of the fair while back to nature connect project teaching the locals to live from the fruits of the old greece is one aspect that matters to him another one is their contribution to climate change the forest areas that we are saving in give us and guard sequestering $100.00 done all carbon in one acre so if we say that in the last one year we have saved 2000 acres of forest cleared in sea we

200000 tonnes of carbon dioxide getting released in the in the atmosphere. of the flutes have been dried. to make my ribbon on which i use fork or for a mixture of was used in i would think madison i mean one in 20 communities make their living from harvesting processing and crossposting different income last year alone around 100000 here. about 1000 of the old trees could be seen from deforestation and that is another property of the home but it nests in the branches or to be productive. you're doing pensive deforestation the population of these rare birds had declined enormously thanks to the project the population is now recovered we found that the out of our nesting fire took $28.00 mystic sites around $23.00 even if things

aren't where on the tree they'll be given the nobility crown so it was very clear that if we are going to save the beleaguered trees we have saved the agreed on because the project not only ensures that crease are protected from being cut down the survival of the baby doc resist taken care of by the whole bill itself. as a so-called farmer of the forest it ensures that the seeds of the food spread again . planted and don't always go hand in hand many a time history has shown us that big come from investing in not. conscious companies seem to be changing more and more investors want to be assured that their money is being human in a socially and environmentally responsible. 20 years 2010 a drilling rig exploded in the gulf of mexico leading to the largest oil spill in

history. ports revealed that the attempts by oil company b.p. to cut costs and maximize profits had led to the disaster. the incident illustrates the frequent conflict between the planners and shareholder profits. but what if it didn't have to be this way where very expressed concern around its source. for this scandal some investors that sold their b.p. shares concerned about the company's record on environmental social and governance issues so they avoided the stock crash that followed the oil spill. these 3 metrics are now called e s g and they're defining a new way of investing that promises to reconcile climate and profits. but can they

deliver. cynical as the financial world might seem ethical considerations of always played a role in investment decisions. the origins of responsible investing trace back to 1758 when some religious groups prohibited members from profiting from the slave trade. ringback but the modern era of responsible investing really evolved in the 1960 s. together with the boycott movement it started with the boycotts of companies that did business with apartheid south africa that was really the genesis i think. many kind of grew up along with the green movement through seventies and eighties and kind of going through right move of tobacco stocks removal of firearms manufacturers removal of nuclear weapons manufacturing is all about excluding companies this exclusion strategy is called divesting and despite the initial excitement it led to mixed results. however according to modern political

theory hurting your bottom line a little bit and you have to sacrifice some financial returns. vestments remove entire sectors like energy into bacco from investors portfolios when the portfolio is less diversified this risk goes up. 5 the 1st of such funds for example has historically underperformed the market but the big money is now betting that this will change in his 2020 letter to c.e.o.'s larry fink the chairman of black rock the world's largest fund manager came right out and said climate risk is investment risk. but i don't think there is a choice between plan and profit. somebody actually metrics that you're scoring companies on you look at anything or is this really any s.g. thing or is this just good business policing are you wasting resources or wasting

resources back to the bottom line or that bring it straight back into big business . screening companies for the s.g. criteria has proven an effective way to anticipate and avoid scandals capable of wiping out share prices for example in between yesterday mutual funds they had to hold folks while. for a long time because there were questions around the governance structure of the company. this allowed those e s g firms to avoid the stock crash that followed reasonable use emissions cheating scandal. of their cars with cheating software to make their. green companies are also better prepared to face the growing threat of climate change. these factors are reviving the appeal of green investment. sustainable funds are attracting new assets at a record pace. the real question then is not whether green investments can make profits the question is whether they can be called green in the 1st place. this is

a definition problem with got yesterday the lack of a central standard is an issue so company could in theory score very well on these . rankings but on the other hand a very large negative textuality he's on the environment. and even if a company is genuinely green buying its shares may not translate into creating an impact. the theory of change behind sustainable investing is pretty straightforward the more fun screen companies receive the more they can pursue their sustainable goals. vestments are unlikely to financially starve the fossil fuel industry for this strategy to be effective it must permanently reduce a company's ability to access capital when capital is divested there's also creates an opportunity for other investors to buy shares at a lower price when this happens the stock price can quickly bounce back to its

previous level without impacting the company's valuation ready. it's not enough it's simply isn't because the effect of tiny. investments are not a magic formula. very often what is advertised as sustainable is just. greenwashing . other cases impacts can be achieved only by sacrificing some profit. in investing in our early profitable non-green companies and then diverting the profit to environmental causes would be more effective. at similar calculations miss a more important point. it is tough to actually measure and. your conscience is clean you don't profit from an activity. many people simply no longer want to invest money at the expense of the environment and that alone is an important step forward. now investor pressure is

forcing companies to reconsider their carbon footprint one if this is credits that is by being for projects that reduce carbon dioxide emissions in other parts of the world in 20. 3 carbon offsets market was worth it to $5700000.00 now for maybe this opens up new business opportunities. this tropical rain forest has stood for millennia but human beings would need very little time to destroy it driven by the desire to make money.

just like any other bankers who came to work i was actually. so we do a lot of deals. done so no hard china is heading out to his rain forest in borneo it covers an area twice the size of new york city. he's bought the rights to the land from the indonesian government for the next 60 years on condition that he protects the forest. i always believe that the environment has their value just like treating it like a real estate i thought that owning a. forest you know and have a better appreciation on value compared to real estate companies pay having to protect the forest like volkswagen the world's largest automaker buys carbon credits from her tono to compensate for the emissions put out by its cars neither she nor v.w. are willing to say how much they cost per tonne a sense discussing prices openly would be damaging to business critics of the trade

in carbon emissions say it allows companies to greenwash their image even as they continue to contribute to global warming we always said that going to go up and that's tried to protect the rain forest for the reality is the past 20 years all the rain forests are pretty much gone in certain countries it's because we believe that you know we should convert it into other use it's a. paper for human for humanity needs but i think there is a new model saying that you can still protect the rain forests and make money for the company and also giving benefit the community while protecting the environment then that should be a new model going forward. just a few kilometers outside the protected sound the rain forest has disappeared here wildfires tore through the area after a prolonged period of heat but many times it's international companies to clear the forest in order to sell timber to gain grazing land for cattle or to set up palm oil plantations.

in his area hard tonneau has set up the code 10 gunmen tie a project to show others how the forest can be used to make money without destroying it in the process. he says the money from carbon emissions trading can help with that. hard tonneau has invested in initiatives like this school which provides instruction on how to climb a coconut tree for example. many of the people who have now gained jobs through hard times previously earned their living selling temper feel now they're learning how to extract sugar from the sap of the coconut tree financed by companies in europe. with the idea of a. longer coconut tree for the 1st time i was scared. but slowly the fear disappeared. and now i want to climb 20 coconut trees a day. and i think i used to cut wood in the forest for

a living. the work was dangerous i only did it for my family. needed the money. investing in people and the local community is the goal but it's not the only goal projects like this are good for his customers image cars made by a company that's investing in people and helping to preserve the rainforest are likely to sell better. but when hard tono 1st started out it was by no means clear that a big corporation like b w would be interested in a small project in borneo. we finally make profit we actually start having sales to. have 0. and we just have to believe in the concept. isn't claiming that his admissions trading project will fundamentally change how we manage and preserve our natural resources. back when he

started climate change wasn't receiving the attention it is today. the concept of carbon trading was still in its infancy. partow took a risk starting out small but with a vision. and for him it's paying off. much of the economy. but that often has a negative impact on the. economists believe believes the b. should be looking at the value of each other and how we can work with the natural. economy. we've created our economy on the model of the hamster no we are not a hands growing doubling in size every need but every few years or whatever. the model of the economy has to be what is the economic equivalent of a caterpillar turning into a few but the thing is a lot of life you've got to look to nature to understand what kind of economy works

and what an economy doesn't. we are in the kind of economy and the measurements of a clearly that's what. the problem is that the only element of value that we are measuring in g.d.p. is produced goods and services which are out of it and that. is a whole lot of other stuff that's happening. the value of the base pollination is more than 150000000000 euros. that's about 110th of the global agricultural output . but of course he's never send you any invoice needs of delivers a lot of value into the human economic system not mentioning these values. today's growth is destroying nature it's trying so sure fabric it's going women's

health. it's just trying public work while it's trying to create private wealth and whatever if there's no law which says on do this. why would you and i won't do this . the of one of the key elements of the green economy is that it was the creation of this fence which deliver less environmental damage. so things like sustainable agriculture which uses more labor is actually rewarding sustainable agriculture can also change and uses water usage uses pollution increasing by the. land based vatican city and strong. and it would result in growth but a different kind of growth is all. green growth. green growth is definitely something to aspire to but not always something to live up to

12 history of human settlements have eaten into the habitats of other living beings it's no different in more than be hard but on the brink of extinction but locals are now coming together to try and protect the region's fish eating crocodiles. even as hatchlings they're easy to recognize with a long thin snout weighing up to 1000 kilograms as the guardiola is one of india's rarest animals its population has declined by around 98 percent since the 1940 s. . some of whom are senhor conservationist at the violet trust of india has studied these reptiles for years without somebody yes. there is a big board like structure on the snout on the of the snout which is called color so it is different from the other 2. indians found in india and other deviants they

conflict with human being but doesn't have any contact with human being. himalayan tributary of the ganges the gun duck descends into the indian plains at val making a girl from the 4 years it was impossible to monitor and research the habitat and population of the carriers because social unrest in the region help scientists back . our own 2007 after the situation relaxed a study showed that only $200.00 surviving cardiology maine in its entire distribution range prompting the i.u.c.n. to recognize the species asked critically endangered at many places pipes and local . so these are the reasons behind declining populace and that even the most important reason is it was enough time to banks the dismissal of. the best. and it affects the populace.

a dam is causing the erosion of the banks each time the gates are open the stored water flows into the river causing a fast current the w.t.r. team is trying to coordinate with the authorities to regulate the release of water at least during the reading time. but other work also has to be done. are considered relatively harmless they eat only fish once found in the region from pakistan to myanmar now they are only found in india bangladesh and w.t.r. knows community involvement is essential in protecting them. local fisherman here monitor the reptiles and their nests. yeah something to talk of making in the mud they are on be there we were asked to check on creole nests and whenever we spot any we call the environmentalists and inform

you he said to keep looking until all new findings. here are for the year. of hunting. once a nest is identified it is shifted from the river bank to a safer area guardiola eggs typically take about 70 days to incubate the fisherman keep an eye on the air until the baby variables hatch and reach the water. in 2014 the w.t. i released satellite factory elves we're just still in these waters now which is about preserving their habitat. funny. last year we moved a proposal in the state board for wildlife to notify a critical area of about one for 140 kilometers of the river as a on the reason is a means giving it a status of a protected area if you give it the status of on the reason is that it will involve

locals in quandaries and plus there won't be any land use change in that he was the banks so it is going to be a good estate it is going to be a long term called the reason for activity on the recent acts and for that they have openness and in the going to revert to conservation efforts are helping the species to bounce back to do these deep waters who are one of the largest populations of cardiology again but balancing the needs of the local people with the requirements of the reality and other if i live will be a long term challenge. now i will admit that the systems we have created as a species make it very difficult to choose them solving the involvement will making more money for many of us even the smallest conscious choices we make like using a reusable coffee mug a mending a leaky tap when orientals mortem or what's mending the imbalance i will leave you with that cotton see you next week please stay safe and big good kid if you also

and your loved ones go back.
