i bet out there man bill they are going rudolph paired with you right here in. our 2 part series the 3rd reich dog starts nov 12th on d w. welcome to global 3000. shallow water how panama is protecting its key revenue source from the effects of climate change. farming city style singapore is determined to produce more of its own food and it wants its citizens to help out. that 1st we had to syria where the long running conflict has

devastated the knife's of many including children. for more than 9 years syria has been embroiled in many cities lie in ruins more than 500000 people have lost their lives countless people have been injured many have lost limbs among them many children what kind of future do they now face. mohammed can play football again though he's not quite as deft as they used to be his prosthetic leg is not a perfect fit sometimes it hurts but the 10 year old is adamant he doesn't want sympathy. in february 26th seeing his life was turned upside down he was on his way home from school when syrian fighter jets appeared in the sky with a move. for bombs hit our district one. after the other.

girls when they exploded i was completely conscious and i mean i remember being taken to the hospital. my leg was bleeding and i used my hand to support it. in january mohammed and his family fled so rock it for live in syria's last remaining rebel stronghold they feel slightly safer here there's a ceasefire which means fewer airstrikes. mohammed copes as best he can. he lives in a small rented apartment with his parents and brother. they are among the lucky ones most displaced people here live in tents in densely populated camps mohammad longs to return to his hometown which was devastated in the war one day he says when peace returns. i want to play with my friends in zarar kip again go back to school there and then study. i want to become

a doctor and help children who have lost their arms or legs so that they can be happy again. far. mohammad was not the only one to suffer in the airstrikes and neighbor's daughter was killed and his brother was also injured phone not as badly as mohammed mohammed nearly died. when. my son was 5 years old. he was in the operating theatre for 5 hours. it was a dreadful moment when he came out of the lower leg. doctors told me they'd removed 10 pieces of shrapnel from his stomach. the following months with tough for mohammed supported by his father he had to learn to live with this new prosthetic

leg. his fate is shared by many in syria. since the beginning of the country's civil war more than 22000 people have lost a leg. this for static center is one of the few places they can get help. but funding this time and the technical possibilities limited. they can't offer more complicated prosthetics but they do what they can to make life easier for those affected. we care for many patients here and unfortunately we don't have such high quality materials at our disposal often our patients can't wear the prostheses for very long or simply too many injured people for the funding that we have. initially mohammed came here several times a week he was told exercises given massages and above all received

a lot of psychological support. he quickly grew out of his 1st 2 prostheses and is now on his 3rd. mohammed suffered a great deal he became introverted and depressed his injuries really shook him to the core of it i hadn't had that he said it's. his doing much better now but life is tough for people here in india 1st the war and now the coronavirus pandemic the schools are closed prices have shot up and unemployment is widespread. officially the city has no cases of covert 19 but then there's almost no testing here either. if cases emerge it could prove devastating many hospitals are in ruins sanitary conditions are poor hardly anyone wears

a mask. mohammed sells silk thread and cloth on a street corner. he uses his earnings around 10 euros a day to support his family he'd be better off at school but every said counts right now. mohammed's father has lost his job and the family is living off their savings mohammed doesn't want to be a burden to his parents he has fought his way back into life and he wants to prove how strong. and. many people treat mohamad like someone with something missing the disability. he wants to prove the opposite to show that he lacks nothing. he wants me better than his friends to win opinions especially a football. player i know. and he's not without role models in 2017 some footballers who had lost legs on the wall

formed a team there are now 15 of them and they have lots of fans. they play a serious football wearing purse d.c.s. . but mohammed has his sights set even higher. i want to play like chris johnson ronaldo on the table. moments of happiness life might have thrown muhammad a curve ball but he's determined to survive and thrive no matter what. brazil asia africa north america across the globe forests are on fire in $2911.00 forest land the size of a football field was destroyed every 6 seconds yet forests are essential for our climate and our planet's will to supply without trees now and becomes dry and

that's apparent in panama and its famous can now linking the atlantic and the pacific oceans deforestation has led to climate change in recent decades panama has felt 20000 square kilometers of woodlands the result heavily loaded ships are having increasing difficulties travelling the panama canal and. the journey through the panama canal is expensive large container ships and tankers pay up to $1000000.00 u.s. dollars and this year they've had to carry less cargo in order to reduce their draft because the water level has been so low because now i thort he says climate change is to blame for higher temperatures and a lack of rainfall the canal passes through lake got to and is fed by rivers with sources in the rain forest. we had a very dry 2001 thing so in february the fresh water rate was stablish that the

fixed 10 percent of the amount of the coal and if i was the bending of the elevation of the lake. every time a ship passes through the canal 200000000 liters of fresh water are poured into the locks some of it is recaptured in basins but most flows into the sea the fresh water surcharge was introduced to finance the development of new water sources the rivers and lakes that feed the canal also provide drinking water for new orleans of people securing the supply depends on the conservation of the rain forests but a lot of trees continue to be felled. we're headed to think. the land was covered in trees until it was turned into a cattle ranch a german company 12 tree that invests in regenerative agriculture projects has now

bought the finger and is busy replanting the forest. the estate will focus on the production of cocoa and native hardwoods saplings are being planted on the grass land where cattle used to graze around $100.00 people have found work at cowen go in a region where unemployment is high up on the. water because of the pandemic many people lost their jobs in the city and not to go to the countryside i was one of them always learning something new. on the 3rd of the estate $500.00 hectares cocoa will be ground the project also wants to promote social progress. in the villages around here a lot of people are unemployed and that especially affects us when. we have as good as no job opportunities because we're women. but there isn't much awareness of the issue of equal opportunities. for

now what one sees are lots of banana trees the cocoa bushes are still young and small they grow best in the shade of banana palms some are already bearing fruit. plants enhance the soil with a large amount of organic matter. and the cocoa bushes are expert at absorbing this organic matter and using it to grow. i am up there for show you cultivation we also use pigeon people and forest trees right now mamie almond trees are planting around 80 trees per acre. the banana plants provide shade and for the time being until more cocoa has grown are the main source of income for the farm when the coronavirus pandemic hit the government bought up almost the entire harvest of cooking bananas across the country in order to ensure

the supply they are a staple food here a strict lockdown meant weekly markets had to close. 700 hectares of the finger are covered in rain forest set aside for nature conservation howler monkeys insects and amphibians live here understood deeper in the forest there are also pumas and eaters and also lots this nature reserve covers almost half of the estate and will be left untouched. go on go is an integrated agro forestry project with 3 main components the natural rain forest crop farming and a tree farm that will provide timber to carpenters in panama the trees in the commercial forest are registered and can only be filmed with a permit this is what sustainable ecological investing can look like. betterment there we had the there but all of this had been turned into pasture for

cattle. and nothing else was being grown to offset the loss that. we're now implementing a system of agro forestry. the only areas cocoa don't come anon as followed by pigeon bees of. the 4th and final level is made up of cedar trees and above all trees which still have to reach maturity. if they will process so they go through. the owner of co on go $12.00 tree is based in berlin it only engages in green investment it's also a co-founder of a latin american climate initiative. peter commons back up the project manager for central america can't travel to her office in panama because of the pandemic they video conference with roderick bins in co-op go. he says the banana harvest is good and as to the coronavirus everyone on the estate is healthy again. they're busy

pressing ahead with the reforestation effort. for a few years ago panama launched the alliance for a 1000000 initiative which aims to create a 1000000 new hectares of forest over a period of 2 decades. the fact that things aren't moving so fast is largely due to a lack of capital for investing in new projects like these. at finke they are working to develop sustainable organic farming methods that can adapt to the changing conditions brought about by climate change it will take not just encourage mint but also major investment to win over smallholder farmers to agroforestry. and the changes to the climate are having a huge impact on the canal. they can no longer rely on a supply of water as in previous years. the rains are starting much later in the

season. it's crucial to secure the water supply and that means more reforestation projects. but in my view. economy is dependent on the canal restoring forests will enhance the ecosystem and yield more freshwater to the benefit of the people and the canal. in this week's global idea as we look at be like many other insects their own death threat our reporters headed to the shell mountains national park in kosovo their conservationists are working to protect a unique in that for landscape in which the busy pollinators play a key role. it's usually men who wear this kind of outfit in kosovo they are hardly any female beekeepers in the country sheep or shell or is one of them the beekeeping season might be over but

she still checks on her charges regularly. and electric fence protects her hives from the bears that still roaming this area near preserving kosovo's 2nd largest city. the shar mountains national park just to the self is a refuge for balkan links this species of wild cat is critically endangered there are only a few dozen of them left. she has 150 beehives she's the boss and her husband works for her that's quite an unusual set up but it works for them. we're family member no. positive one in the all we like to do things systematically. i start from one and. my husband starts from the other if you're on control or include we like to compete. it's kind of a game to see who can check more beehives.

today it looks like a tie once the inspections are done shallow takes care to extinguish the coal in her smoker which is used to come the bees a forest fire could have disastrous consequences then she reveals a little trade secret. do in order not to make this is our bees wax harvest from this autumn we use it to create new hives it's a lot of work but this is the most natural option for the dog and instead of using mass produced industrial wax unfortunately the government doesn't provide any funding for the extra effort involved but it's the only way to treat our bees well we're informed grandma of them. and it's worth the effort she doesn't have any trouble finding buyers for her organic honey. it

sells for twice the price of the honey sold at street side markets beekeeping sheep reading and she's making are an important part of the economy in kosovo the youngest and smallest nation in the balkans. shallow went abroad to study organic farming methods. nowadays environmental activists come to see her to learn how she applies organic methods to be keeping. the aim is to raise awareness across kossovo of eco friendly farming practices. here they're planning i attended a workshop in germany i learned a lot about animal welfare which nobody here knows anything about i'm now giving courses to pass on this knowledge i hope people will come to realise we have to protect. and that includes b.c. they are so important for the environment. nature conservation can be an uphill battle. the director of the shark mountains national park has been sounding

the alarm. he says there are just 8 rangers patrolling the park's 500 square kilometers he also says that they need at least 3 times as many ranges as the problem of the. farm mentalists could help us by bringing our staff shortage to the attention of the government. but there are also other problems to address such as illegal logging and garbage with the. appropriate groups and also the construction of hydroelectric power plants are mostly. in kosovo and neighboring albania hydro power plants are still widely considered an eco friendly way to generate electricity but building more of them alongside illegal timber felling would further shrink the habitats of endangered species such as bess lynx and wolves. sheepish alice says most of the people don't realise what is going on

they're just not aware of the issues but she wants to change that. we have to pay more attention to our natural environment especially in the national park this also affects my business. if forest clearance and everything that goes along with it is allowed to go on i will eventually lose my beliefs. because of gained independence in 2008 it's only natural she says that it will take a while for such a young country to sort things out she for shyla for one remains optimistic. according to the un by 2050 almost 70 percent of the world's population will live in urban areas and they'll all need to eat because spreading in cities leave less space for farmland urban farming is on the rise estimates suggest that worldwide

there are already around $67000000.00 hectares of land being cultivated within cities and that's just the start empty plots roofs walls balconies they're all great for urban gardeners disused buildings could also become green houses like in singapore. up here on the 31st floor you can glimpse singapore's future. maya hari is potting melon and cauliflower seedings she also grows chilly over jeans and bananas on her roof terrace. the technology executive is a step ahead of many of her compatriots if singapore's government has its way the high tech city state will soon become a nation of allotment gardeners you don't have the seasons but you can pick the vegetables and fruits and things that grow in tropical weather and you can give that a shot what's not obvious is it's hard to do that in flats which is really the predominant way we live in singapore and that's the hard part of the book planted with your

growing vegetables at home gardening the government isn't just stopping at this promotional video 150000 of these starter kits with vegetable seeds are currently being sent to people like my own citizens or to become part of an ambitious plan. whether purple peppers are called marry her up to now singapore is only produce 10 percent of its food but by 2030 the government aims to increase the up to 30 percent maya hari says the pandemic has shown the greater self-sufficiency is the right strategy it helps that singapore ians are becoming increasingly interested in locally grown produce embracing a lot of technology and modern and growing plants in addition to really getting the whole country and all the citizens together to try and grow more but just growing on balconies alone is not going to get there that it's a start. singapore as an agricultural nation it still seems hard to imagine for

decades the country still has a financial and economic hub packed with more and more glittering skyscrapers. despite the lush greenery agriculture seems like something from yesteryear but now singapore wants to reduce its dependence on foreign countries. space is in short supply so roofs will be turned into vegetable patches on market gardens the new strategy is already bearing fruit. this is the roof of a popular shopping mall and beyond low gave up his career in advertising and started growing for rosemary and passionfruit here in 2015 people laughed at them now he is a sought after expert. the entrepreneur has now created 200 gardens like this across the city and he's experimenting with new technologies installed in shipping containers. kale won't grow in tropical climates but here it thrives in a nutrient solution and with l.e.d.

lights which replaces the sun's rays. vertical cultivation carried out on several floors is seen as a promising trend that can compete against countries like neighboring malaysia to grow food much more cheaply. low says that's the. because his vegetables are rich with more nutrients. for that as well soledad additional health care or health benefits to the consumers to justify the price. point that he sent small fish watching while vegetables as well so so this is all we know that she will get a competitive advantage. only one percent of singapore's land area can even be considered for traditional farming in the soil. that's why multi-story farms are springing up everywhere backed by the government fish will soon be farmed in this 8 story building the company apollo marine developed a concept so far they've been producing 300 tons of fish

a year in their farm across the street but now the state has stepped in as an investor. in the future almost 10 times as many tropical tribes will grow in the company's pools. apollo says it will all be ecologically sustainable 90 percent of the water can be reused and during the lockdown when fresh fish from abroad was not always available apollo was able to win many singaporeans as new customers basically when you break down in the usual shoreline breeding is a few very exposed to pollution rain where is it michael prospects will always be use the pollution a lot of contamination when you breed them insane. system i would say is a deal we all use of contamination and pollution. up on my balcony she now has started growing strawberries even though they're not really a tropical plant if you fruits and vegetables seem to be off limits for singapore's gardening enthusiasm the high tech nation is discovering just how green its fingers
