the. humans and every other living being on earth is a part of nature we all come from nature and go back to but up past actions have been extracted and have caused harm to the planet we called who have before this actively working in harmony with nature on to this is that the sword we look closely at how we can build and encourage a symbiotic relationship with the above it i will welcome to equal india some of that our group. let's begin today is show with forests the importance for the help of the global climate undisputed yet deforestation is a bit of reality in today's world invest in maharashtra and organization is trying

something interesting there incentivizing planting trees so that farmers not only have a steady income but also contribute to the local forest for a region that's extremely dry out how does this really work let's take a look. at . these women are planting saplings of native trees in western maharashtra it's not just a reforestation project they're planting the trees on farmland which otherwise stays barren the idea to turn abandoned land into forests came from the organization farmers for forests if you really think about forests i think you know they're not just sort of you know carbon storage powerhouses they provide a range of ecosystem benefits you know everything from being governed sequesters to

you know providing ground water recharge you know soil conservation you know habitat for biodiversity our markets our systems don't put a financial value yet on such you know the services that these ecological systems provide. that's the market failure that payment for ecosystems trying to correct. for most of forests is approaching small scale farmers like going ishtar believe he leased out to a cause of his unused land in 2022 the organization they went on to plant $8000.00 saplings setting the groundwork for growing or try using carbon sequestering forest . as the owner of the land hardly will now be paid quarterly cash transfers of around 100 euros for the next 5 years by far most for forests for ecosystem services that the trees will soon provide. gun issues hardly many

runs a small garage business the 23 year old belongs to a family of land holding farmers in western maharashtra but agriculture alone he says has become financially and viable to support his family of 6 and it was imperative that he find a paddle means of livelihood. many people have quit farming they have become industrial laborers and some have started their own businesses because farming is not the same anymore which is why i started my workshop of the ghetto farmers and. have become very erratic in the last year if this continues farming in this region will disappear. and this is going to land. far most of forests has been piloting the payment for ecosystem services up p s approach with 2 objectives in mind to protect

existing forests and grow new forest on degraded land. within a year of starting operations they began receiving institutional grants from indian n.g.o.s and from donors thus they've already been able to plant $20000.00 native trees as part of a 5 year pilot project for every piece of land they try to plant as many trees as possible. because even. when we finalize a piece of land we have to measure its length and breadth accurately device the market this is done using this device is. doing this is very important because the draft of the plantation is made accordingly you can measure resealed so we have to do our work very accurately. now to planting a. true g.p.s.

tags and satellite images the team closely monitors the health of each tree after planting. only. the project also supports women farmers and labor us. navy working on this 3.5 acre plot of land belonging to dam does shouldn't be. chimney currently works bought time by the better old station he hopes of the cash transfers from the p s project will help him get back into farming he's convinced that if he benefits from this project more farmers will follow. him that day and vanish the hardly hope the investment will also benefit the next generation that have been in the forests has planted all the creek the rights to the land. despite the 5 year rental agreement that the organization everything that grows on the land . the fruit. in the years to come and that they will provide

all belong to us. even if the project ends in 5 years fall most for forests wants to attract more dollars in the near future. this will allow forestation in this region to keep progressing and helping local farmers to become less vulnerable to the effects of climate change. now working in sync with nature even if some of us might act otherwise brings big rewards they can always fishing industry for example the biggest in europe when they found a new species in their water king crab which eats everything that crosses its box and multiplies fast they decided to use the food to get a bunch let's take a look at how this was possible. did god loves the arctic ocean the german has been living in norway's high north for 12 years. he takes tourists to see the

sights along the coast near the russian border. he brings up one of those sites from the bottom of the sea for this took root. he only set out the traps the day before at a depth of 180 meters but one day was long enough for him to pull up. thousands of king crabs a delicacy all around the world the crabs also a growing ecological problem the crest stations multiply like rabbits. job in the water you're good he probably grabs grabs right over you. how the sting the king crabs has brought an unheard of prosperity to norway's economically constrained time north including for the remote fishing village of big i ness. in 1809 residents ran an advertisement offering their village for sale. young people were moving away because there was no work. now the village has been

revived complete with bed and breakfasts and even a bistro. and it's all science to none other than the king crab. fisherman life in your lair was among the 1st to discover the non-native species of bigger nace. survey it researchers had to release them in the barents sea in the 1950 s. . but there was unaware of that when he found the monster crab in his nets one day. the 1st crabs we caught we tend to. we were taken completely by surprise. really what if the crabs hadn't turned out we would not have any fish processing in town. the explosive spread of the invasive crab is a boon to the fisherman but norwegian environmentalists and scientists are loaned

the crabs eat almost anything posing a threat to native ecosystems and they being spotted father and father self evident so we found that the crabs are able to adapt to water temperatures of each in degree celsius that means they could survive in the mediterranean. wherever these crabs become established they have devastating effects on the other marine life on the seabed. some species mussels and starfish have disappeared completely. along with. that was the king crab also known as the monster crab has no natural enemies other fishery authorities have made the quotas generous in an attempt to keep its population under control but mark. says his guests after only a short time in the kitchen can otherwise be had only in europe's and asia's finest

restaurants norway exports over 2000 tonnes of king crab all around the world annually. locals and tourists alike enjoy the crabs flavorful meals for the norwegian authorities it's a balancing act they want to preserve the crab population that bring so much business to the region while ensuring that the invasive species doesn't spread. the people of northern norway hope this lucrative source of income will last a while longer they've already built a monument to the king crab. if you move into the cities you're no stranger to the 2.5 a particular point 5 feast mosques that block the spot tickles from entering our body have been a reality for a long before. but back to the matter is not a local phenomenon it's a negative environment an influence that exists everywhere on the planet to all cities on sustainable cities we met

a group of people in berlin who are working to solve this problem. the limit livable is best achieved with people who live here via of way he's a new technology to contribute to a better understanding of traffic. i would like to see the city authorities and the general public taking care of the trees. this park in berlin is a green oasis and a popular destination for people getting some early morning exercise or a breath of fresh air before work. berlin is not a city plagued by major traffic congestion and its industrial sector is relatively small. but some residents still complain about poor air quality and if built in set

up their own sensors to measure a particular matter with a view to making the data public. contraptions air pipes are easy enough to make with parts from a local d.i.y. store. has a little infrared gauge inside to measure the tiny particles flying by. it relays that data to a little processor. yes long 5000 out and here we have another sensor that measures the temperature and humidity before the days are measured every 2 and a half minutes and sent to the database in stuttgart. on a missile or shipped us on a dock with god. is installing a sensor on the roof of this art center. there are already $260.00 of the devices

up and running across the land on apartment balconies at traffic junctions and in backyards. volunteers his free time to help others build and set up their own sensors. in front is what. i love the idea of collecting data and making it available to the public there is official data gods are going to couple of locations around berlin but it's very limited. as a former smoker i know how dangerous particularly matter can be and i decided to get involved in. the project began a few years ago in chicago where activists created this website prompted by the diesel emissions can all. individuals register their air pipes on the site where their data are constantly updated. the project now includes measurements in $71.00 countries 3 people based in southern germany run the website on

a voluntary basis. i spent 2 years in china and i'm very familiar with the pollution in beijing and shanghai. i could see how it affected my own health. i was fairly sporty beforehand but then i had to shorten my role myself and play. berlin based artist michel. has turned the data into a virtual reality installation it's on show here at the city lab a nonprofit foundation for innovation. the installation visualizes what the sensors record because particular matter cannot be seen by the naked eye. him of what these are they could cause this these circles show current conditions in virtual reality and. of course when it's my monitor if i go over to the other

monitor i can see that same section on a bigger map beason pushed when jets vanished in virtual reality and if i now put on my view your visor it puts me right in the middle of the particularly matter. over at the fuck up and they've been working on green projects for more than 30 years now and are now building sensors for particulate matter. the aim is to increase public awareness of air pollution. when it's with a bit of a type hopefully we'll see people getting involved similarly to wikipedia and doctors are being made available to everyone. this innocuous looking sensor has now been replicated hundreds of times by people in berlin the hope is that the data can be used to make information about air pollution public and not just in the german capital. not air pollution has many she sits in media well you don't

come not only from. power plants but also from something as basic and ubiquitous as a cooking store for millions of people the daily chore of cooking poses a real danger assumable. is providing the much needed. you know in this cramped kitchen chair the doctor is making a buck he spoke a family of 6 she's using a traditional cooking stall a junior which blows out clouds of smoke. on the market to salute the use of mud still. we don't have an alternative let's look at the markets people have cooked with us for generations it's their business they don't have the money to buy fuel. if we did we might be able to use another kind of

stalling like i guess he's. in google india over 77 percent of households still use 5 cheap and easy to access liquid petroleum gas or l.p.g. is a privilege reserved for the. google with open fire means long hours to spend a hot stove breathing in kerosene fumes and smoke from. collecting boat is a burden on the environment and a strenuous toss for them and. each year almost half a 1000000 people die prematurely from illness attributed to household air pollution in india. traditional stoves are the main source of the problem and vim and young children are the best affected. stoves are so

inefficient that divest up to 90 percent of the energy generated and require up to one 3rd of the family's income for food then also to sponsible for a quarter of the world's black carbon emissions. on. a social enterprise has been working to tackle the problem of energy poverty and the role for india has developed and efficient store it uses voted but around 60 percent less than a traditional stove it is also designed to significantly cut the smoke and docks the commissions that are responsible for health problems. the organization distributes disturbed student households in india and elsewhere in the world at a subsidized rate my lunch out of when the cops set up but none of that that you

have had the project for 3 years and vietnam has seen its benefits but in a possible insulters improving they save a lot of time in the news in this time of life and i love that in the paddock and todd benefit is start to believe in a drop or an area and fewer trees are being chopped down this has a huge positive impact that us and more thought of whether the. who lives in the village neighboring shrug does made the switch with the help of a community led micro-finance group many like her can't afford even disappear dice cost of 30 euros and need financial help the. market is what there is there was the one we used to need more than 10 kilos of wood now we need only 5 and cooking takes half the time it used to take they had to be like there's a lot of. still struggles with health issues resulting from

a smoke inhalation she can't afford to buy one of the new. border my eyes burn the water continuously the older i get the less i can say i have frequent bouts of called and cough my neck and back hard from the piles of food i have to carry me. like sure that some 700000000 people in india continue to rely on solid fuel and traditional cookstove smoke and it remains a major problem. and pollution traffic of almost synonymous in urban societies of all the what that of many projects under we tackle this problem and eliminate it from day to day life you need just capital jakarta like all you just cities in the world is no stranger to

the effects of increasing traffic congestion and the air pollution it gives rise to and exploiting the city is experiment with hydrogen as fuel for an emission free model of transportation. congestion is a major problem faced by big cities around the world including jakarta it's typically caused by the lack of a good public transit system with a growing number of vehicles on the street jakarta's air quality is going from bad to worse. energy based on hydrogen is one of the solutions for creating a transportation system with less noise and fewer emissions. professor any i'm with. is among the leading experts in this field since 1988 she has been conducting research in alternative energy with hydrogen fuel cells.

we did research on producing hydrogen become be obtained from waste or from methanol but the easiest way is to get it from water. and here the end product is again water that we can use the electrolysis method to produce water from water the hydrogen goes into a fuel cell becomes water again and later electricity this is current energy storage. the 2nd way is to source it from natural gas as is done in the fertilizer industry or thermal power stations because it's cheaper. the 3rd method is to get hydrogen from renewable materials. fuel cells work in a similar style to batteries the only difference is that while producing energy fuel cells continue to work as long as a fuel source is available they can also contain 10 times more energy than a lithium battery. so bad but that's in the they can be used for transportation or. at home. as

a backup power for machinery. or for energy storage. storage and light spending one application is this motor with a $500.00 watt passively the fuel cell technology developed by professor any a list yani doing requires an average of one leader of hydrogen gas to produce one kilowatt hour of energy production costs however are still far higher than with fossil fuel based energy solutions here at the agency for the assessment of application of technology any i was the army do we try to enhance hydrogen production to be more efficient so one of the breakthroughs in the fuel cell field is discovering a new catalyst in electricity producing generators for the future the scientist is thinking of an overall energy concept for the city. and. my dream is to build a hydrogen city in indonesia. it will have

a hydrogen based economy. but a bus is it ok so if we apply it to transportation it will mean an environmentally friendly satins up but that's one thing going on and in people's homes it will have 0 net emissions 0 and missing here that i hope we can do this in indonesia said. the professor will continue her research on creating hydrogen fuel effectively to create transportation that is comfortable and without pollution or emissions the more efficient the fuel cell is the more likely it will be possible to use it on a broader scale. be allowed the benefits that major provides us with are enormous i hope to be useful give you the information and inspiration to work in sync with nature if you haven't already started to do so i'll see you again next week from all of us on the team.

a new sense of joy. i just felt empty inside. like my life had no meaning. it was hard for me to imagine a more positive future. and they all smile and. jules has always been a high achiever and it was hard to accept that something was wrong. and outwardly she seemed fine. for going ringback to sources of the year. to my ass and i'm not sure very many people even noticed not also it's not really something you can see it's kind of an invisible illness kind of kind of. it to jules quite a while to realize that she was suffering from depression she tried to ignore how she felt and put together a face on things then she decided to quit her job. not too long after that she suffered another blow. and that was the breaking point.

why did. my basically it was breaking up with my partner there really sent me over the edge i really lost my grip on my life at the i was dead inside i was totally numb. my parents picked up on it and realized that what i was going through was for more than just normal hard. joes decided to get help 1st she spent 3 months in an inpatient clinic now she sees a therapist once a week. in sara piece she's been learning to understand and accept herself this kind of behavioral therapy isn't always easy it takes courage to dig beneath the surface of things. when president. makes you feel terribly vulnerable to recover you need someone to take you by the hand and talk you through things. and then you can learn the same thing

for yourself. it's a lot more. the things are starting to look up again and jules is open about what she's been going straight. to celebrate 10 newly won self confidence she's decided to get a tattoo. some callers ferments for me it's from a licensed health care and self love it reminds me to accept my body and my spirit to accept myself the way around. the black and white stripes symbolise the ups and downs of her pass through depression and the tennis ball the joy she's now taking in life. i really did it. with.

prejudice and false rumors make it very tough for those affected with mental illnesses it's very hard for them to talk about the situation in the us there's a coffee shop called soup of hope and there you absolutely can talk about it and it's caught on here in germany in munich there's a coffee shop to. what looks like an ordinary coffee house is actually much more it's the 1st mental health care faith in germany guests here in munich can only sit down for a nice hot drink they can also learn about. healthier. the world kind of has a loft and we're not a crisis center for someone with big problems there are other places in munich to get we're here for people who want to talk to someone get some advice it's easier to come here and say i'll have a coffee maybe take a flying with me than it is to say i need therapy or i have to go to the emergency

room. the money demand they came up with the idea for germany's 1st mental health café her role model is the soup of hope project a cafe in chicago. dominick has dealt with the topic of mental health since 2015 as an author and a blogger she describes her own experiences. she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder about 15 years ago. as a status as had just as she said one source to admitting to yourself you need help is the hardest part i'm willing to get help for other things physical problems car problems learning to play an instrument we get help for all sorts of things except for what's going on inside our own heads that was a big step for me a turning point when things started to improve if i hadn't been willing to open up to get help none of this could have happened as i was.

within about a year of coming up with the idea dominick and her team found a good location. for friends all pitched in to help set up the space so the cafe could open its doors. how's it going to be just screwed the last bit together and now we can finally hang it from the ceiling in. the project also benefited from an online crowdfunding campaign. dominic was surprised and grateful at how many people were willing to pitch in. crowd funding the crowdfunding campaign was incredibly successful we received 33000 euros we had different donation levels the smallest was 5 euros the largest 5000 euros a lot of people donated more than 540 people said what a great idea i want to support this. then came the grand opening of germany's

1st mental health café opened its doors. just like an ordinary coffee shop there's food and drink on the menu but here there's also a way to signal if you're up for a chat. or a red flag on your table means you want peace and quiet. the green flag means you're happy to talk to other guests. don't work you have just left iraq it makes it easier whenever someone hears about our flags they say oh i wish i had something like that we all have those moments where we think i wish someone would ask me how i'm doing or maybe don't talk to me i can't hope. this is a way of signaling what you're up for. the cafe also regularly hosts specialists who are willing to give a bit of guidance free of charge. and have studied medicine and spent a year and a half working in the field of psychosomatic medicine for children and adolescents

. she's planning to help out in the cafe twice a week. to count the fear sure now that alice have the kinds of conversations people have when they're talking about how they really feel and not how they wish they felt a much nicer and more honest you don't have to share everything put your entire life story on instagram that's not what this is about but it can feel really good to be authentic to give an honest answer to the question how are you today it can make a real difference and. the mental health cafe is no substitute for professional therapy it's a place where people can go to talk and maybe gain some insight or a way forward. there are books on mental health issues informational brochures and regular workshops and lectures plus meditation and yoga courses are offered in seminars on how to reduce stress it's an idea that seems to be catching on.

business month to misunderstand it's nice to have a place where you can sit down and find someone to talk to you don't have too much but you can if you want. the most will be very rich and one of the i care about people and i want people to be happy mean clude it i find it hard warming that such a wonderful cafe has opened here coffee instead this is so what i leave it while they put a lot of love into this it's wonderful that people with mental health issues or people who care about them can come here from simple. germany's 1st mental health café seems to be off to a good start. if somebody has let's say a heart attack or kidney stones this is usually socially accepted but what if he would have a psychosomatic disorder or excited disorder friends and family will sometimes give unqualified advice and will react in disbelief places so i sent medical peter out.

to the. victoria park hospital here in berlin and a meeting dr kristen stopped hello pleasure when i was preparing the interview of a group through the terms mental and mental disorders. can you explain the difference if you take the world health organization they state that health is the complete absence of psychological. physical and social problems which is a state that cannot be reached for a long period of time when the person who introduced order on one hand if a spider induces such horror to you that you have to avoid the situation where you find the spider. that it uses problems living your life like you would do normally on the other hand let's say you are afraid of using an elevator

but you never are confronted with this problem because you live in a rural area where you don't need to use it then there is no suffering and also then i would not suggest somebody to search for treatment people or groups circle of group programs or through the doing a program or to consider. what is its or if you have a person that is mentally ill and suffers from hell or see nations. or intense feelings that we cannot see we cannot touch we have never experienced by ourselves for many people this is this is something that induces intense fear and often people dislike what they what they fear and they exclude people due to this there are looking for. people who look for group problems for instruments only.

of group or rooms interesting point what is a weak person so we don't have the same talents some of us are good in sports others are good in math and so forth imagine a strong person with with which is gifted they can suffer from mental flight. this can happen to basically anybody and then you are not couple of controlling your mental operations so in my opinion this has nothing to do with weak or strong. of too poor. for many of the mental disorders this is just not true and i think the best example will be the anxiety disorders the core of this disorder is that people have intense feelings of fear when you try to control it by avoiding the situation by doing something that that

reduces the fear your brain learns that this situation or stimulus might be dangerous the more you try to pull yourself together the more fear you would experience with number 3. it's only excuse for lazy people to book well actually here it's quite the opposite so if you look in our clinic we often treat people which suffer from severe depression who cannot experience joy anymore and lack drive people suffering from depression oppression often suffer from thoughts and feelings of worthlessness they just wish to be healthy again not depressed anymore to have back their drive to go back to work with. mental illness it's not curable i would just state that mental illness is physical and i think most other psychiatry would say the same there is no

difference between mental and physical disorders in this respect in some regions of the road there are no doctor experts who hope the people who want to do i mean not long time ago with the same situation has been true for. for europe as well and i think that although many of the symptoms cannot be treated without modern medical aid like medication like antidepressants or anti psychotics but the social problems like unemployment or other things that that result from from the mental illness. can be treated by professional help here but maybe better treated in 3rd world countries by their surrounding like family friends or try at least. the best ready for it from a viewer for the. hope somebody with problems.
