world. on our facebook channel, d.w. women, you'll find stories about women tackling problems and taking a stand. d.w. women gives a voice to the women of our world. venice is normally swamped by tourists, some $30000000.00 of them every year in a city with just 50000 residents is a money spinner, but in many places it has become a curse. back in 1950 there were just 25000000 international tourists compared to 1460000000 in 2019. yet around the world, there are more grand projects in the making designed to poland. ever more tourists . not always to the delight of local people. the jungle means everything to cloudy or lopez. it's the only place he feels truly happy. we met the tour guide,
7:38 am
an animal welfare activist in his element, one of the most species rich rain, forests on earth. the mother nature always has wonderful surprises in store for us . right now i'm waiting for the bats to come out. it's the daily dance of the vampires millions of bats leave their underground caves here every night. this remarkable place is known as the back volcano. and claudio lopez is always thrilled to watch. but these days, he's also worried that the new train route will pass very close to these caves, and the resulting vibrations could cause them to collapse. that could happen when the train passes through here. the new railway is called train maya, it's one of the largest infrastructure projects in modern mexican history work has
7:39 am
barely begun, but promotional films produced by the government are already showing would lies ahead. 1500 kilometers of tracks will crisscross the yucatan peninsula. the project will cost billions and will be partly financed by pride. it investors there will be new settlements next to engine mayan cities and a rail connection for nearly $3000000.00 tourists a year. the goal is to support a region that has been forgotten for the last 5 decades. at the same time, it's a region with resources that can benefit the rest of the country. profits for some but anger for others. like guadalupe concept is who lives in company. a town located along the old train tracks which are to be extended for the train. my house is set to be demolished significantly. just my home means
7:40 am
a lot to me. my life, my history. this is where i lived with my parents. this is where i raised my children. in this area alone, there are hundreds of families who will be forced to resettle in early june, mexico's president on race. manuel lopez obrador, traveled to the region to announce the official start of the tracks construction. critics say took advantage of the coronavirus crisis to push through processes in the controversial train project. and yet, there are also many people along the train, my a route who support the project. the train line could set a lot in motion, especially after the pandemic. putting on a real connection like this would have great economic advantages. there would be more visitors and therefore more jobs. it would make it easier for people to get here by train from cannes koon and other tourist centers that are now. travelers to the yucatan region have to rely on cars. the further you travel in lived and away
7:41 am
from the coast, the more isolated and green it gets. here there are eagles, spider monkeys, jaguars, and other endangered species. the new railway line also threatens their habitat in the jungle town of chio. we met up with cloudy old lopez. again. the government's infrastructure plans are a big issue in the village. soon the population will increase 10 fold from what it is now. the problem is that everything will grow without control. prices will rise, and as in other parts of mexico, organized crime will take over me. so who benefits from the development and suppose that progress? in the land of the maya, the legacy of history is omnipresent. cloudier, lopez takes us to meet an important representative of the indigenous population. but in the name trend, maya is a disgrace. we the maya, people are the ones who bear this proud name,
7:42 am
but nobody has spoken to us. this is not true. we are in contact with all groups, and there will be further consultations because of the pandemic contact might have been reduced a little. but again, if anyone benefits from the train, it's the indigenous people. but once again, many indigenous people feel their concerns have not been taken into account. the last stop on our journey is the back of the group or turquoise paradise, which is also under threat. biologist, melina regularly takes water samples here with alarming results back, and that has such vivid colors. but if the pollution continues like this, this could get dangerous and very quickly for a long time. this place was an insider's tip, but now the visitors have arrived. and with them the hotel's garbage and sewage,
7:43 am
the lack of sewage treatment plants, and the shortage of water have become a huge problem. and as of 2023, the train maya is expected to bring thousands more tourists every day. who can't afford mass tourism even now we can hardly protect our ecosystems unit, but the hit our nickel system. the railway is coming to yucatan. that much is clear, but there's still time to check this knows and changes course shattered shops and food markets overnight. teen is a huge headache for retailers and farmers. e-commerce is stepping into the breach. industry turnover is due to grow by over 25 percent this year to more than 2 trillion euros in 2023 point 5000000000, people are expected to shop online. almost half the world's population. the biggest

market is china. these days of poverty are over. shane was able to pay for a brand new tesla with the money he made in just 2 months. the farmer's son sells docking. one factor contributing to his success is that he is in constant communication with his customers lined streaming via the video sharing app, tick-tock, or dahlia. as it's known in china. this is a very good sales platform. it's much better than the traditional routes with agents and middlemen who all want to cut so you're going to get cured and salt and steamed. are a chinese specialty. they're a much loved snack for business is booming. output has quadrupled
7:45 am
and now processed 200000 eggs a day. and that's the number we're able to show each day. oh, yes, he was over here with a family who lives in the far south of china in a small fishing village where everyone knows everyone else. for generations now, the young have earned their living by fishing before switching to breeding ducks. and later in life streaming idea didn't go down. well at 1st one told me and the people here find live streaming shameless. they don't understand what you're doing when you run around talking into a cell phone all day. they look down on me because they didn't understand what i was doing. a couple but his idea has paid off is entertaining and he knows how to build trust. last

7:47 am
but the platform also organizes the transport a little bit. you geez, logistics infrastructure works for us. if someone orders online, j.d. organizes everything that saves us a lot of work. and there's the old in one tool. during the coronavirus, pandemic organizing transportation became a problem. one that couldn't be resolved by individual farmers. tons of produce was left stranded across the country. for mr. song and his cooperative, the streaming project came at just the right time. the rather retiring farmer has now got used to being accompanied by a smartphone camera when he's in the greenhouse we'll deal with all of the using during the coronavirus crisis in february and march. people weren't allowed to go to the market or to stores. so they looked around online and discovered they could get fruit and vegetables delivered to their homes
7:48 am
even fresher than in the supermarket. usual bittorrent. since the start of the pandemic, online sales linked to live streaming have skyrocketed. this farmers' co-operative used to employ 70 people. now it's almost $300.00 they would earn less in the city than they do here. and it's practical. it's close to home. people can look after their grandparents and their children. they no longer have to go to the city to work without a little back at washing shins. ducking factory. this feeling confident about his future before he discovered lyme straining, he had always thought he would have to leave his village to find work in a big city. we could communicate with the world over this platform. yes, we can share our cuisine and our culture and history with the world that's very exciting
7:49 am
for us without you don't know who would have thought that line streaming duck eggs could attract so many followers and bring so much business success. in this week's global ideas, we'll take a look at a particularly successful conservation project. africa's majestic wildlife is often the target of poachers. making the work of wildlife preserves especially important . our reporter went to kenya, where he met some of the people whose project has made it onto the international union for conservation of nature's green list. the wildlife conservancy in central kenya is a paradise for animals and animal lovers. the 250 square kilometers are home to thousands of giraffes, elephants lions, rhinos,
7:50 am
and many other species used to be part of a cattle ranch owned by, a british farmer. in the 1980 s., when poaching was decimating the black rhino population, the family turned the land into a sanctuary. today around 170 black rhino live in the conservancy. they're protected by 123 rangers, a pack of specially trained dogs and a high tech surveillance system. most of the rangers are locals, 98 percent of just walk, you know, from the neighboring community. and out is very, very important because, you know, thing also is to send a message to a community that they have their own issues. because you know, people in the community see it. so it's very important to work with people of the law cause the people who are on a bus. but they were conservancy says that working closely with local communities
7:51 am
is an effective strategy in the fight against poachers. community is playing a critical role in terms of conservation with don't look putting them in board. you're not tweeting in terms of cost of vision or pushing. it's been assisted by the communities and it's been assisted even by a dentist. that is what you have seen before. and it's just because of their money, and that's why now we're focusing in terms of putting a lot of programs outside the community. so we can really win the community to get a lot of information and police. they can be, i thought and yes of us. if the local people notice anything suspicious, they reported to the ranger purity. one more you. she grew up here and knows almost everybody in the area, but i just know we are 5 children just at the moment. i was the last to be impolite . was employed in 20, tells this conservancy means everything to me because my mom we have a microcredit finance the you know,

7:53 am
i also bought 2 pigs. so there's been lots of progress that i am moving forward. i have gained so much. there are many benefits. for example, they bring in trainers who teach us about many issues that have to do with health and how we can help ourselves as women 1800 women have so far received microcredit. there are also classes on business, the environment, and practical skills. purity and lawrence will work for the conservancy as women's empowerment program. previously, women have been so bad that they have become to meet they do trainings we think up with maybe specially is taken across expect to be less so,

7:55 am
a big problem at this clinic didn't exist. many people would have died. the nearest hospital is in the next town, which is quite far. it's good that there is a clinic here. the efforts made by the labor wildlife conservancy not only to protect wild animals but also to support local communities have found international recognition since 2014 it's been included in the prestigious i.u.c.n. green list of protected areas. the seal of approval is a huge boost to the project. it helps us in terms of marketing strategies. it helps put, helps us in terms of fundraising. i would to help helps us so that there can be a model for us to emulate for others to come on line from us. what we have been. yeah. it's not for low. it's for the kids and heavy stage. it's for the global head
