what secrets lie behind. discover new adventures in 360 degrees. to explore the major world heritage sites. world heritage 362 get me out now. welcome to global 3 thousands. underwater bangladesh's farmers are having to adapt to climate change. sustainable lifestyle farming can new methods save mexico's cloud forests. but 1st we find out how faith can conquer violence the for my gangsters finding gods in brazil. the average

number of people to be murdered worldwide every year is 6 per $100000.00 citizens that figure is 5 times higher in brazil last year an average of $114.00 people were murdered there every day that's $41600.00 certify over the year of all countries not at war brazil is one of the most dangerous the countries favelas of particular hotspots when it comes to violent crime much of it gang led the military and police regularly move in on the areas and shootings a commonplace yet many young men see joining a gang as their only chance of a future leaving is notoriously difficult. this evangelical preacher was once boss of the drugs gang. he seeks to make amends for his sins and wants to give up. there's hope. when

he speaks gangsters listen. to our kaffir get the sound of the kalashnikovs that. he lives in rio de janeiro but nowhere near the beach. moment you lose his wife always prays for his safe return whenever dimitri on march 18th sets off to preach in a dangerous neighborhood come on he himself grew up in the slums and ended up making lots of money through crime. and fame and she is sucked want to steal all this theater. unfortunately i did bad things. kill people. that's why today my mission is to convert drug addicts and criminals. will be going to meet you know. he's on his way to a prayer meeting they are. here what kind of life that i lead i had

money and power but i had to hide every night because i couldn't trust anybody. not even my friends but he. later back at his home he told us he never got a good night's sleep as a gangster but he had had high expectations when he joined up as a poor boy from the slums he saw it as a chance to be somebody. let me see why i was that. i started to take drugs and got in with a bunch of criminals and we would attack other guys. as i rose up through the ranks to become boss in the complex so alemao favela. he reached his criminal zenith in the late 1980 s. and early ninety's a wild time with lots of partying and lots of drugs. dimitrios

oversaw 25 drug dealing venues as the right hand man other major drug. fights with rivals were bad enough but attacks by the military police were even worse i think team caught him by surprise one morning. i was walking down a steep when i noticed i'd walked into a trap they started to shoot. but i don't know i fell i was in shock he stopped bodyguards ran off. but. since then dimitri a has been paralyzed from the waist down nowadays he spends his days going around the favelas preaching and trying to get gangsters to reform his own story is well

known a bad man who found god in the path of virtue many people here find it moving. but. he often talks to the dealers hanging out on street corners here. they seem to accept him and they pray together. even those who carry a hand grenade with them just in case. they wash out. the government needs to create opportunities for the kids here so they don't just make the obvious choice to become dealers or lose their freedom or even lives what about he got his for instance o.c. asian he helps people fill out forms and deal with the authorities. believe me beneath the ceiling. so all i have left from my former life are bad memories and scars i sleep much more peacefully than i did back then. they are supposed to be bad food to me. he's devoted himself to improving conditions in the neighborhood

digging drainage ditches and clearing roads they plan to tarmac this one. when dimitriy omar chines the preacher does manage to sway a gangster it's usually during a prayer meeting it's quite standard around here for dealers to attend and engage with the pastors. towards the end of the meeting a young man is moved to get up and tell his story of redemption. it was a lot of it of course the part was sentenced to 14 years in prison then i found god and then i was released now i shall always walk with god. god other congregants find such declarations inspiring it gives them hope then another dealer comes forward to receive the blessings. you got there so to outsiders it might seem very odd that drug dealers can be god fearing. here everybody must know in his

heart what he is doing. this or he declares his intention to live a cleaner life in the hood. i want to give up drugs. but dimitri on march good example seems to be a healing influence helping others like himself to escape a life of drugs and crime. back. in may 2020 a tropical cyclone hit the coast of bangladesh millions of people had to flee for their lives storms in the bay of bengal often drive sea water fall in land damming 2 of the country's main rivers the ganges and the burma put this can cause them to burst their banks flooding large areas of land experts believe that climate change will inevitably make extreme weather more common the countries and. while monsoon

rains are already becoming increasingly heavy. they also fear that by the end of the century sea levels around bangladesh could rise by $1.00 to $1.00 and a half meters large areas of the low lying country would then be submerged under water. in southern bangladesh the monsoon rains are getting heavier year by year and that means ever more extensive flooding. nowadays overdone mondo's fields are not just under water during monsoon season but for a full 8 months of the year so he's turned to growing vegetables on floating beds the water here is fresh not salty mana has become a farming pioneer by reviving a technique that dates back many centuries. but i got i learnt from my father a few plants on the water but he didn't do it systematically. i have one we've developed the technique further we don't really have any other option if we don't

want to starve. my. mother has got used to spending much of his life in and on. the venture is proving very successful the goods are growing fast they're almost ready to harvest. amounted up as a high. water taste better and contain more bitterman well we don't need any chemical fertilisers or pesticides so these vegetables are better than the ones grown on the much better. seedlings have already been planted on the adjacent bed the roots store nutrients out of the water and the beds are made up of was the highest since decayed organic material compost that fertilizers the plants they held together by nets and hardly move there's almost no current here. of it all modern has become something of

a star in his village his income is now 3 times the local average the whole family works on the farm. his daughter is in bedding gourd seeds in bowls of compost they will then be planted on a floating bed farmers in bangladesh are innovating their methods in response to climate change have those 1000 of the what's a bit scary is that my father's out on the water all the time. it's getting hotter and hotter here and mosquitoes breed on the water and cause diseases. my father's often ill that's terrible because he is the only one in the family who earns any money so we get very worried whenever he's sick. in the neighboring village of bread fruit tree has just been felled. the timber is form of an under some a day has given up farming and now it only builds boats.

it takes him 6 hours to build a boat by hand business is great he could sell a lot more than he can build. i don't know if you guys i'm going to you were very busy right now it's not time of year you know the farmers have to take to the water or porto rico now you've got to. take it for us it's doubly good because we have to use up the wood otherwise it will rot in the rainy season of going down but we still offer the farmers a good price or on the 30th of. mind then do some of dad goes to the boat market every friday. he may be 70 but he paddles the 5 kilometers there comfortably . hundreds of rivers flow through bangladesh and they have tens of thousands of trivia ptrace in low lying coastal regions like here in battery cell division is

a growing threat the sea level is rising in the bay of bengal so rivers flow more sluggishly towards the sea and spread out across the land salty sea water is intruding deeper into the interior. for boat builders it means more work. the boat market stretches for more than 2 kilometers along the xantia river these boats sell for the equivalent of 40 euros they are a bust and can carry loads of up to 450 kilograms mohandas some of debt has a number of loyal customers. it all depends on the skill of the boat builder and his experience i have a boat so people like me but i've had to work very hard to get to where i am now. that at. dawn roy has come to visit he's an agricultural engineer with a district of thora to use and stops by regularly the government is keen to promote

floating phones all kinds of crops can be grown on them spinach aqua tomatoes cauliflowers as well as gawd's climate change could mean that a 3rd of the country will end up under water the question is if closing firms like hearing barry sell could be developed across the country. right now bangladesh produces enough food to be self-sufficient but we don't have enough of a say food food free of toxins and contaminants floating gardens make a valuable contribution because the farmers use a lot less pesticides because there are fewer pests on the water. at the local wholesale market sells his produce and also seedlings to other farm this. earlier he says they used to grow just rice and that that involves much less

work but switching to farming on water has proved to be much more profitable. so i wonder. if we might use the seedlings grown on longer weaker ours are more robust and look fresher. so we sell more than lamb farmers. got a little more water seedlings or greater demand come on to higher prices. more and more farmers embarras sell up planning to switch to flushing cultivation and certainly no shortage of water. ok cheat. on their travels all reporters often meet interesting young people like this week's global team from

thailand. hi my name is playing i'm 16 years old and i go to the international school of bangkok i'm currently a junior and i live here in bangkok thailand. i like to go diving because there is no other experience like being in the water it's just you and the water and you feel a sense of connection that nothing you can ever experience unless when you connect into nature on that level everything just sort of disappears and you just realize how amazing and connected nature is to you. i like to learn but i don't necessarily like. how schools are organized so i feel like it puts too much cusser on. getting good grades like cetera instead of just

the aspect of wanting to learn. my mom own a parenting seminar company called being the 60 degrees and my dad he just makes business still. hasn't i currently hope so work in the you and i think you'd be really cool to just. be in the middle of it all and try to make the world little bit more fair. afraid of world leaders because i have no control over the decisions that they make is what it feels like and when those in power have their own political agendas. that's when things get really scary. that they

drew up the 1st one to do i hope that in the future people become more sympathetic towards others and realize. how similar we are instead of focusing on our own self interests because of that and nothing can work without each other. and i hope that in the future we can all just come to terms of how everyone is different. yet we all strive for the same thing even if we hold different beliefs we all want the same thing. this weekend global ideas we look at the told foaming takes on. millions of hectares of woodland. have already been destroyed worldwide to make way for agriculture. in a nature reserve in southern mexico more sustainable methods are protecting by its farmers livelihoods and the forests. it's daybreak

and had to cut is on his way to milk his cows he follows a path up the number you grew up a mountain in the last appeal to our biosphere reserve in southern mexico. legend has it that anyone who tries to take something away from the mountain will never return home. the slopes are shrouded in an almost primal mist there's been widespread deforestation on many of the other mountain slopes in the region farmers keep their cattle in the forests that remain. ector cardioids cows grazing on land that's fenced off to protect the woodland. park and they walk up with it when i want a couple weeks back in the forest they destroy everything contaminate the streams and cause ground erosion so if they run around the forest and it rains there be landslides. with god for a fair of them rather hector keeps 20 cows he used to have many more but he got rid

of half of them because he knows that traditional livestock farming is bad for the environment decades ago his grandfather switched from growing corn and beans to livestock farming because it was more profitable. 3 years ago hector joined the project be opossums which promotes cattle farming that's sustainable and doesn't destroy diversity his income is starting to increase and the environment is gradually recovering. but it's been a difficult few years. when with the war levy article i argued with my father that was the 1st obstacle i had to overcome. well hasn't been easy but i asked him to give me a chance. moment of we differ with you that well i took the risk by small farm i went through some hard times very hard times i milked my cows constantly but the

yields were low. which i let the. indigenous farmers traditionally let their livestock graze in forest pastures and also grew vegetables their methods were sustainable their expertise had largely been lost now their descendants are looking to revive it and save the cloud forest . jose antonio jimenez coordinates the bee opossums project in a state of chiapas. meticulous planning facilitates the farmers switch to the climate smart livestock concept. you know the region well and can provide practical support when necessary the biggest challenge he faces is convincing the farmers to change the way they've always done things. up really but not the most good we need to work with the farmers to identify problems together we

also need to work with them to find solutions when this process taking into account the expertise and experience of the farmers and their families it helps them to learn new things and then we must always factor in what the farmers know. protection through production that's the motto of be opossums farming practices don't have to entail force degradation some 1200 farmers in the region have joined the initiative most of them are cattle farmers. 1 pm in town still has a herd of cows. but he's also cultivating bananas and soursop trees on a section of his land. even though it'll be 5 years before the fruit provides him with a solid income he signed up with below passes. but

on a local book of people think we're crazy they don't know why we're planting small trees when we won't even live to see them grow some of them run up on me but my wife and i hope that even if we never get to harvest the fruit one day our children our grandchildren will benefit and they'll also benefit from improved air quality feed him a little lighter. and now about. a year ago 1 pm and tells why fully at out was one of several local women in the village and has to found their own cheese dairy which they run as a co-operative they all used to make cheese at home by themselves now they've joined forces. the equipment is all brand new and was provided by bill passes. the women produce 5 varieties of cheese. and they will head if we

went out talk a lot we say what we think it's good that we're making different kinds of cheese everyone knows different varieties so work sperm and to. that if we women support one another and then the whole yam. the farming families used to sell their milk via a middleman at a very low price now they're earning better. if the focus of going to money. that was one of the main incentives for joining the project and switching to sustainable production. said it would all get. through our nickel they pulled it allows them to diversify it means they can sell their produce at higher prices. is our aim was not only to teach them new technical skills but to support them in the whole production chain from the farm to the consumer. in that. hector and rosa carry you have also invested

in a cheese press it's helped speed up the production process and they hope that in the long run it will secure them a steady income. that's all from us at global 3000 this week what did you think of the program write and let us know we're at global 3000 and d w dot com and check us out on facebook to d w global ideas and d w women see you next week bye for now. thank .
