a dairy farm on a floating platform in the netherlands is the 1st of its kind worldwide and more on that later in the show. everyone and welcome to another edition of your acts with me, your host, meghan lee. today we are focusing on creative sustainability projects around europe . let's take a closer look at 2 more examples. the nola in the finnish capital, helsinki is the nation's 1st in the 0 waste restaurant, found the southern german city of tribe, or leads the way in the fight against global warming.

but 1st people who live in cities long for connection to nature, the concept of a bio fill. the architecture tries to satisfy this desire includes building with natural materials, bringing light into people's homes as much as possible and connecting a building's occupants with their natural surroundings. while the freebooter apartment complex in amsterdam was built, according to this principle, we went there to check it out and ask its residents if it improves their daily lives. lloyd instead of concrete curves rather than hard edges, a style of architecture that loves life. the result of building according to the principles of bio silica architecture jacket. more garcia now is the architect of the freebooter. or look at me here in the depths

city of amsterdam, one of the key elements of a by you feel it could approach is to create direct connection with nature. and we created by using, you know, natural materials that, that simulates or are connected with was really an experience should be to do nature wooden slats, run around the entire building, ensuring optimal riding conditions and privacy. the sense movement was monitored for a whole year. so the slats could feel light perfectly. another fundamental concept of trial for like architecture is that interior and exterior space should merge into one. as soon as we, you know, we wake up in this, in this room, we can already open up and have a direct connection to the terrace and through the natural element of the water.

the freebooters special construction method only cost about 10 percent more than a conventional $12.00 families living with each with $120.00 square metres of living space. they enjoy a special indoor climate and a house with close to 0 energy consumption. thanks to state of the art technology especially like this room because the sun around the house your new day and at the end of the day it ends here and the light is very beautiful in this room. it's not just the light that special. the house appeals to all the senses. when people come to visit, almost everybody wants to touch this part. it's girl, it's moot people love it. the concept isn't only finding

favor an abstract. these days greener buildings are built in many places using wood and other natural materials. owners and architects try to integrate the surrounding nature into their constructions, even if not always under the labor biofilm like architecture. garcia, i know, is already thinking on a much larger scale. as with his current project, my toe, since it involves living units that can be extended at will you know, so many benefits. there's a high demand for these kind of the buildings who are really foresee there in the future, there was, there would be more and more buildings designed would biophilia approach. the freebooter residents have no doubt that their quality of life has improved since moving it to earth

alive, changes, spaces, change. there's so much more curvy ness. so the whole experience is completely different. i think more calming, perhaps, and more playful. playful. biofilm like architecture provides a green and holistic approach to living space and architectural concept with a future. so there we have a good example of future living. but what about the future of our food? now, more people than ever are producing food in cities to promote locally grown products and reduce transport distances. for example, everything in these baskets was grown right here in the middle of berlin. well, urban farming is a concept that began some 15 years ago to unique projects in france and the

netherlands are pioneering the way when it comes to producing food closer to home, growing crops on the rooftops of paris in the courts. he says he didn't see the future and crucial 3 of 31, very counts standing on the grounds of in the city of rotterdam. it's the 1st of its kind in the world. can i get seasick if we studied so, and you would for half the fitz unary and university study, if they can get seasick but no day set, it's ok. so if you can see the cows are fairy and relaxed and their fur is fairy shining. so dead means that they feel ok, they gave you a lovely milk and

a great amount of mail produces about 600 liters of milk. each cow of the science for herself when she smoked. one goal of this pioneer project was to produce a sustainable use possible ottawa to reconnect the citizens with food production citizens, most likely don't have the clue how much energy and loft it costs to produce a glass of milk. and it's important to reconnect them to avoid that they throw away difficult, very easy. the farmer from the city is nutritious food on the menu across cuttings. from it once look at pictures of golf courses, as well as old bread from local bakery, the floating solar panels next to the foam supply, its electricity. for this project originated in the united states,

we were involved in a broad take in new york city. and then hurricane say very badly. so after 2 days there was no fresh food on the shelves anymore because everything was flooded. so no trucks could came in or out the city. and then peter, my partner here realized what's going on. we are in the trouble. the project in rotterdam shows how urban farming can work with marshall to transport distances. the french capital, paris is proving this is possible with an area equal to 20 soccer pictures. the largest urban farming project in the world is taking shape on the roof of a train or is a city with lots of enthusiasm for up and foaming. and the city administration has launched several projects as parts or program on about one

quarter of the space over 20 gardeners have done an impressive job of planting some 30 cartons of many regional fruit vegetables in her course. without resorting to pesticides or other chemicals. they rely on to special growing that the 1st method is using vertical columns. the roots are completely out in the open air where they can be sprayed with nutrients in a closed system. is the 2nd system is hydroponics. we have horizontal gardeners along with the coconut pine substrate. as an arrow panics, the nutrients reach the plants or cycle. during the peak growing season, the roof tops with the fresh fruit and vegetables. this week we set to increase the

project reaches completion 2022. in order to supply this is already the case in iraq today several times a week and electric vehicles used to deliver hundreds of liters of milk. the milk isn't the way of the zionists and the fella paying the next farm on the water next to this one. and that will be a farm with fur to go farming, but also with chickens. so in that way, we create a kind of floating food strip over here to put the demand for local and healthful products as was driving the organic way. along with the fact that the world's population lives in towns leave. it'll be 70 percent by the 23rd.

and that presents a challenge to society as a whole innovative concepts like the ones in paris and rotterdam and the cool restaurants all over the world produce millions of tons of waste every year. and now much of it is actually ovoid a ball and it cost the industry hundreds of millions of euros. well $1.00 restaurant in finland aims to reduce its waste output to basically 0. the owners do this through creative cooking and recycling. so how about an ice cream from beer residue? here's a closer look. probably dishes here appears with sustainable and green dns and without wastage. that is the concept of helsinki's mellow restaurant. the name means 0 waste. none 0 was finland's 1st 0 waste. restaurant 3 european cooks founded it in 20 $181.00 from serbia, one from spain,

and one from portugal. they continually come up with new ways to avoid waste on the waste and buy a product already eaten by the cost to morrow. and after being used to most of the times on 95 percent of the time was being compost in the make us different 46 course niels are created in the kitchen. among today's dishes, grilled romaine lettuce with black currents and a spicy fish sauce. it is served with sturgeon on marinated tomatoes. the food is also a feast for the eyes. responsibly produced ingredients and dishes become an epic shiri, an experience in the process of growing a star, just the brother you ascribe. it is a lot of males as sturgeon's. but they are like burford reuse of both for our

consumption. it's like a really beautiful means, like a really beautiful place where normally traditionally they just like being thrown away and planning their menus for a 0 restaurant can be quite a challenge. always bearing in mind how to prevent waste of any kind of our memory is the produce a high school for where i'm the ones that monday into the producer. what do we want? so the producers inform us on what they have available. and then normally, every week already couple of weeks we change like 3 items. fundamentally, these are all instruments from coffee grounds. the cooks turn them into mushroom that gets put sugar syrup, made the restaurants and the employees clothes, and even the utensils are all part of the sustainable concept. everything is made

from recycled materials. the idea restaurants with add waste has moved spread to many other european cities where this is free at his. germany's 1st 0 waste restaurant to serve exclusively the conditions made with locally produced ingredients, just as in finland, anything left over to the restaurant composting machine to be turned into a soil substitute and returned to the farmers. there's 0 waste, a west restaurant in milan, italy focuses on old, nearly forgotten italian recipes, simple traditional dishes, elevated to form a status such as pumpkin marinated in vinegar for the apples filled with chestnuts and caramelized. that's back in-house inky restaurant manager and

evaluates to day's scraps. he uses an app to measure the miniscule amounts. he recommends the out for conventional restaurants as well. this is a very useful, truthful tool for the russians to actually save money and give you understand, and so how much their money you throw away the restaurant has its own microbrewery during the beer production process, great residues of humulin eat. it's a waste product. this in turn becomes a dessert, blueberries, on ice cream from the grain residues with a coffee can be chucked caraballo flavor. our goal is not told its 1st cycle, it's 2 to reuse. and kind of free deuce the usage of the new energy to create something new. so so for us, the recycling is the last part in our operations. 0 waste,

the uncompromising endeavor to make 0 per cent waste the rule rather than the exception. and if you want to see more reports about food and your favorite recipes, then be sure to check out our you tube channel. to see these stories. and to see has the smell of my using the best chefs with their fast chips, from meat dishes, to begin diets and all the recipe secrets. europe's diversity is a smorgasbord of my living. subscribe and enjoy d. w. food. it's not enough to simply buy clothes anymore. many consumers want to know how their

clothing is made while this jacket, for example, is made out of an old sleeping bag. well, up cycling and recycling are growing trends in the fashion industry. the italian company project to quit, for example, applies waste not want not principle. it makes clothes with discarded fabrics from high end fashion houses. and as you'll see, style doesn't have to be compromise in the name of sustainability. this is a pressure point, a with a social conscience. these clothes are made by pressure to quit companies that prides itself on producing clothing in a way that benefits the buyer, producer in the environment in general. when produce, it's a good question for women. fashion collections by recovering leftover fabrics from their luck, sorry industry. and by employing these advantage where women are disadvantaged

people, especially women. but we create fresh and recall elections. and for winter this is the current collection for fall and winter. each piece can only be made until the fabric runs out. production takes place at the company's factory in the italian city of verona. the company employs around 150 people, many of them women who were given a 2nd chance through working here 70 percent come from i would now boil background, for example, as visibility is for things of violence of human trafficking. and we are so what we did play some of that on our with me and former the label of fires and of series fabrics unsold stock or materials donated by prestigious and tying companies which prefer not to be named our process is upside down.

so based on what we have, and based on what we find, we can give to our clients a product is in charge of obtaining the foundry. he travels throughout italy to find the main thing about fox fabrics. is that maybe in italy, which is something really, really typical of the lot of the likes of brands and receiving those leftovers makes our brand very, very special. other european designers like dutchman duran lanting are also joining the sustainability trend. she too recycles, hiding in materials for his clothes. french israeli designer benjamin by morning out up cycles of old video and concert tapes and weaves them into colorful

fabrics. and then they are spanish label, which recycles plastic from the oceans for kids. this year project to create received a prestigious green carpet fashion award. in the past, the event has hosted a listers like sophia loren valentino caravanning, as well as calling for one to say a word because of our way of involvement in 2. and that it could fashion with the social and environmental values. and we have been desiring for these a word for a long time. and so we were very happy to hear the summer that we have been meaning to do to receive these very important awards and achievement for style and sustainability which are set to carry on into the future. the

southern german city of freiburg is 900 years old, but it's still the most ecologically advanced city in the country. thanks to solar panels, car, free zones and creative urban planning. well, freiburg has become a leader in sustainable living. so we went there to find out more streams. modern and progressive. tribal is a 6 year it's europe's largest public, net 0. placing from the middle ages, traditions kind of view to the future of $230000.00 inhabitants. and ecological thinking is almost a matter of the sustainability manager of the university of fraud ball. she shows us the so-called james bond, the $250.00 metre long on the ground system, the university buildings using ground. it's

a simple system that saves the cyclical system, uses the groundwater for cooling, it gets warm and then is pumped back into the ground groundwater as running here, for example, it saves a lot of electricity and steam for the cooling she came to from it will just have the environmental management on the roof of the university library. there's a huge solar power universities focus on sustainability. in the next, you know, in recent years there have been really committed students demanding more and more effort from the university and more transparency. now the university will no longer invest in companies that make weapons or that pursue the exploitation of fossil, their nuclear energy sources. and that i've also studied in

fribourg, the travel and food blog, and the most beautiful corners of the city. she's proud of her environmentally conscious adopted home sustainability is a top priority in fribourg. i think everyone here has a bicycle or 2 every year, tourists flock to the city in southwest germany, or the region, or one picturesque narrow street. in some of there's a very special way we call these tiny streams the 5. there are a quintessential part of fribourg. the water comes from the river and flows practically through the whole city. legend says if you step on one of the streams you have to the right of freiburg citizen to be used for the role fish offered sexual for. it specializes in solar houses because the sensation 25 years ago with his apartment building. so heliotrope,

it automatically like a plot hole calling itself the pending on the position of some picked the architect had a dream of the kind of tree house standing on the trunk. it was the 1st house in the world. it was energy. it was what we call an energy plus house. just the russian explores, the city's district, which the firm helped design for the size of the military barracks. it's now a showcase area. family friendly, green little truck with the side of the houses here also produce more energy they consume is one of the most famous ecologically design neighborhoods in the world? people come from all over the world to see it. architects, engineers, politicians, environmental activists, or just people who want to build some of the things themselves might they come to see how it's done. and the money was mine. promoting food from the local region as one of $59.00 sustainability goals,

the city asserts itself. residents live and breathe environmental awareness. people here joke that you're only a fry burger when your hobby is separating your garbage. that's definitely important here. because the city at the edge of the forest shows how the cost can be combined with an ecological and that brings us to the end of this special edition. but don't forget to check out our website for our latest draw where this backpack is up for. grabs from all of us here in berlin. thanks for watching. i'll see you again soon.

blooming and enhancing for china sounds, declared climate change. trailblazer knows as much helms, most of all, and its c.e.o. to balance the minor detail in order to ensure in teamwork. during the pandemic, many projects have been approved without an ecological impact assessment just

doesn't match up. so how does it work? even 3 times on d, w. british unary, underprivileged this diplomat hunger always gets straight to the point to go to institute's, going to render a month going to look at his final year in office and he's in for a civil career. the last cultural diplomatic, in 45 minutes, fontaine, w., sleep carefully,

simply trying to do good discover the above subscribe to the documentary to love him to global 3000 can nature conservation offer tax breaks, new opportunities are rightly not fernandez in south africa. and she micio,

we find out how local fishermen of fighting an invasive species crop but 1st we had to china. despite the lessons of pandemic, climate protection still takes a backseat to economic growth. when the coronavirus crisis began earlier this year, much of the world went into lockdown. factory, production of stalled ships, remains docked at craft with rounded imports and exports shrank. finally, nature could take a breather. according to one study in the 1st half of this year, carbon dioxide emissions sank almost 9 percent. that's around $1500000000.00 times . the pandemic has offered us a chance to rethink global economics to put climate protection above profit. say fall though, there's been little sign of any real change of friday's for future demonstration in shanghai at the end of september,

just for young people have dared to turn up 17 year old organize the protest. she wants to see political action. china is the world's biggest c o 2 producer all the gold mines. odd during the biggest crime in human history. od and we believe that mon was here with us and maybe it was time i had to resign. i just don't know why did you deal with the current crisis? always only been here for a few minutes before the police show up and tell her to move. but she's not one to give up that easily. and now looks for another place to hold a demonstration that evening. right now the government's primary focus appears to be on economic growth. climate protection has slipped far down. the agenda. steel and cement production are especially harmful to the environment. but since the corona

virus outbreak, the construction industry has been a major driver of the economy, the idea that you can have too much investment to many railroads for both stadiums . industrial parks breeches. it sounds a bit absurd because most, most gone through these struggle to invest enough in this kind of transfer structure. but for the last 10 years has no investment as a way to deliver fariha. i mean g.d.p. growth numbers. this production facility is a testament to the economic stimulus package announced in maine that the world's 3rd largest construction machinery maker staff work almost around the clock. a new vehicle rolls off the assembly line here every 25 minutes.

it's hoped the boom in construction will create jobs. new projects have been given fast track approval and in some 21000 projects and environmental impact assessment wasn't carried out. coronavirus induced markdowns and falling exports have left many people relieved to have any kind of job. so it's all good, we can build roads and were able to work and be you know, how could we be unhappy? we have work and can earn money. china has also been building new coal fired power plants. many such projects are build as part of an effort to combat power for the country currently has at least 25 coal powered facilities in the pipeline. this, despite the fact that existing plants are working at only 50 percent capacity, this is nothing to do with the demand. because every week,

just pushing forward with any kind of construction project that creates g.d.p. and creates jobs in the short term so called fired power plants are just a part of the bigger stimulus package. as being rolled out for us reporting is not made easy for the police follow our every move in the end, they forbid us from filming. as a result, we can't find out how the locals feel about the expansion of the power plant. it's a sensitive topic. china doesn't want to be associated with fossil fuels. on the contrary, it's eager to be seen as a leader and renewables. will work really well on all countries to put in an address to the u.n. general assembly chinese president xi jinping, pledged to make the country climate neutral by 2016. a goal that environmental

protection groups like greenpeace believe is attainable, despite the current construction boom. china is also the world's biggest investor and solar energy but goals for 2060 are and now for 17 year old away home evening demonstration ends with her being brought into the police station where she was forced to write a statement condemning her actions in china, criticizing the government is to boo but we humans are not alone in reacting to climate change. animals up to temperature changes have always had a huge impact on wildlife. seasonal changes keep millions of animals around the globe in constant movement. huge every year around the world. huge

numbers of animals migrate to other parts of the us. scientists as to me, between $8.10 species, a migrates rate in water on land, or in the skies. they make mammals or fish, but also insects, amphibians, reptiles, and even minute creatures such as plankton and the say. some species like eels and salmon only migrate twice in my lifetime once after birth and again for mating. eels from europe, east of florida and the sawgrass o.c.e. to spawn. some of them take up to 3 years to get other species take off each year for distant lands like migrate to rebirths. for example,

when it gets too cold for them in central europe and food is in short supply, storks had to woman regions in the south. the drive to embark on a high risk energy draining journey very straight from one species to another. monarch butterflies achieve an amazing feat with some of them traveling up to 3600 kilometers. they navigate using the position of the sun and the earth's magnetic field. that is, the arctic tundra holds the record. it travels between the north and south pole covering around 80000 kilometers a year. most species prefer not to travel a liar. before setting off, they gather in huge flops or hurts the can be up to 1000000 strong.

traveling as a group has its advantages. it provides protection from it's hot, i'm from hungry, predator it's migratory. birds like wild geese, safe energy by flying in formation. in thai ecosystems, we collapse with out on a migration summon, swim from the sea into fresh well to streams and rivers for the purpose of mating. of the spawning that bodies decompose, providing a rich source of nitrogen fertilizer for trees and plants. alaska's forest couldn't survive without the salmon. they provide 80 percent of the nitrogen but climate change is affecting migrates. we behave the changes when this country says cold is being pushed further north as the ocean water heats up. on the other hand,

the wolter. they've been able to expound their habitats hundreds of kilometers further to the north pole. just like the pizza, which is native to southern and southeastern europe, it can now be found for the new generation of the new comers of causing problems. the asian tiger musky type has brought down de fever to europe, a disease that can be life threatening to humans. if north and south towards the tropics are losing some species. this drop in biodiversity caused by climate change is also having an economic impact. by the middle of this century, southeast asia will have far fewer fish than before and migrate. it's also changing that many stores,

so no longer flying to africa for the winter, stopping in spain instead. those that were considered my great pads in previous decades, such as got some starlings. and there's a new round of natural wildlife migration is one thing. but what about when animals migrate unnaturally on aircraft all boats, for example, as goods make their way around the planet in all globalised world, europe has around 12000 non-native species of plants and animals. some of these have proliferated, take the recount, formally found only in north america. ricans are now common in europe and japan. some invasive species pose a threat to native wildlife, and a tough to get under control.

fisherman, out before dawn, plying their trade in the gulf of this, the bay on tunisia's east coast is around a 100 kilometers long. in recent times, the fishermen have had to stray ever further from the coast to catch fish. when you're about gardening, i've been a fisherman for 38 years. a lot has changed in that time. 20 years ago, we used to catch loads of prawns. but in recent years, there have been repeated events that have reduced our catch. the latest problem was the blue crab. they wiped out everything. the 1st blue crabs was spotted here at the end of $24.00 t. . it's a species that was previously unknown in tunisia. their numbers increased rapidly, and within 8 months the crabs had become

a real menace. they would cut the fishing nets, eat the fish, and develop anything else they could find. they became such a problem that the fisherman nicknamed them die. yes. after than a tourist militant group, islamic state, the blue crab is native to the in the pacific region. they came here by the red sea and the suez canal, like most of the roughly 1000 non-native species that have reached the mediterranean because of climate change, the waters here are now also woman up to support tropical species. mohammed national team, brad di, has decades studying the migrate, repass hands in the mediterranean because we're especially interested in learning about invasive species because they threaten the biodiversity of all r.c. jr. and it's a phenomenon that we're seeing increasingly in the mediterranean young scientists estimate that a new non-native species appears roughly every 9 days. in fact,

that's significant because i don't look at tunisia as national institute of marine sciences and technology also opened up della and her team are studying the blue crabs. the scientists are keen to learn more about this destructive species. how fusty the crabs grow, how quickly do they reproduce? and how do they impact other species when they arrive in a new area? to help answer these questions, they're analyzing the contents of the crab stomachs. how they are blue crab is an extremely verey, should species. and even the crabs are basically insatiable, will feed on all kinds of prey. france, for example, but they'll also itself full of pods like squid on the fish. and they prey on the

fish that live in the gulf of very important for the fishing industry. but the blue crab could also pose a threat to another much larger marine animal. the sea turtle the mediterranean is home to 3 species of terror, all of which are endangered. they gather in the gulf of god, best to feed and to spend the winter to the north. korea island is an important nesting ground for the log ahead turtle, which lays its eggs at just a few sites on the island. throughout the entire mediterranean, the number of nesting places has dropped rapidly with the animals being disturbed by bright lights and tourists. when they says tat the baby's way, just 20 grams without a hard outer shell, bear completely defenseless. only one in

a 1000 survives many get eaten by fish and crabs. and now of course, there's a new predator in town. the blue crab just a few kilometers away on the mainland. how tim is currently being cared for by the adult female is more than 30 years old. she is malnourished and has a large fishing hook inside her. a fight suffered by many sea turtles. the scientists here say injuries from both propel is also common. they found these pieces of plastic and heard him species. the pollution of the seas is another huge threat to the turtles. around 2 thirds of the animals examined here have plastic inside their bodies, the scientists record and keep everything they find it up in one big sea turtles are very important for the marine ecosystem. the goal they maintain the balance in

the food chain. you can imagine the loggerhead turtle, for example. it's everything and it will eat crabs and mollusks fish jellyfish to make sure no individual species can take over. if things start to tip out of balance the sea turtle helps to get things back into equilibrium, heading in which one of the biggest threats to the sea turtles is the fishing industry. landed in a fishing net as by catch. once a juvenile turtle has recovered and is able to dive for food again by herself, she'll be released back into the sea. but 1st, the scientists want to take blood and tissue samples to analyze had d.n.a. . the data is needed for an international research

project studying the effects of plastic pollution on sea turtles. meanwhile, efforts are underway to curb the numbers of blue, crab attorneys, and company called golden fish is now making money from the invasive shellfish. other companies along the gulf of governors are doing the same in other parts of the world. the blue crab is a delicacy. so they are now being cool. it's taken a pass and frozen, ready for expos. last year alone, the company sent out 60 tons of crab, crab meat. most of the customers are in asia, but the blue crabs are also popular in spain and italy. in the capital tunis, we visit in the, in the bar trade. this one focuses on developing a question by a products researchers here study marine organisms to identify natural substances that could be used in cosmetics and other applications. they found that the meat of

the blue crab is rich in various proteins by turning the crab meat into a powder. they've developed a protein rich food supplement. so now the blue crab has an appeal for the domestic market to the blue crab, all but destroyed the livelihoods of many fisherman. but now it's become a source of income, allowing the fishing industry to survive. and by catching and using the crabs, this invasive species is being kept under control of tunisia's comes to in this week's global ideas. we go to south africa to learn how to promote nature conservation. something that's easier than it sounds. south africa is famous for its wildlife for a vast areas of almost untouched land. now an ngo there is working to turn much of

that into nature reserves. we met up with 2 of its teams in a can do in the east of the country and chemist grown in the west. no plantations, no crops, no combine. harvesters. 88 percent of land in south africa is not suitable for agriculture. it's too rugged, too dry and too one even but everywhere you look, you see life in abundance. the country boasts rich biodiversity. but how best to preserve it. in south africa, environmental protection is chronically under financed., that's where candace stevens comes in. she's a tax specialist at the n.-g. o.

wilderness foundation, africa. she wants to encourage landowners to turn their holdings into nature reserves. the government offers a tax incentive to do so and go with what you're doing here is looking after south africa's natural wealth in the public . good. yes. and so there's this unique tax incentive to benefit that biodiversity . so even as you plow money time, if an energy into looking after the sun home as may think you're not getting any and not only is a special tax incentive just to give a little bit back. this man is already converted his land into a protected area. he can write off the cost of the purchase over 25 year period. that extra cash and pocket he will be able to, to give a little bit more financial sustainability to you in managing this in perpetuity.

and so that you could put a little bit more interest, which would be your decision and, and you know, what needs to happen on the side of photographer, cause fundamental purchase the land 5 years ago. and it's taken countless pictures of the area since then. it rarely rains here, but when it does, the landscape is transformed into a pageant of color. another special feature about this area of land is that it could act as a corridor for wild animals since it's located between 2 different protected areas . we stand on the northern border to the west and you see for yourself stretching down the macro national park in the north east look up and you can see the proposed corridor linking the to protect the crew region of south africa is home to more than $5000.00 species of

plants and some 40 percent of them can only be found here good of the school because the rain season is gone. oh yeah. and this will be the final we had it for a couple of days ago. so it's just a little bit. but it surely will go down once upon a time this area was farmland. this was going back for a long time since the 17th hundreds with the pioneers that that formed here with the high rainfall that time. but due to global warming and the rainfall diminished quite a bit, and it just became impossible for these people to, to make a living with cattle and agriculture. and eventually they had to sell and that's why we bought it in the fall for conservation with climate change threatening

biodiversity. candace stephens has not found it difficult to persuade other landowners to follow suit, having grown up on a farm herself. she's adept at communicating the advantages of the tax scheme. tax is not everybody's favorite subject and when tax season rolls around, it's not like everybody. so my experience with is that they understand that there are implications to tax and financial. and so they want to fully understand what the taxes dozens of landowners have signed up to the scheme. her 1st experience of implementing the program was in the kwazulu-natal province. in order to protect the lack of locals introduced a herd of cattle the animals serve an important function. keeping the grass short helps prevent wildfires in the dry season. but it's just the start. we want you for
