is what actually porting as people might actually think of it it is the lack of space and that space is with communities so communities have to be at the center of conservation the members of the conservancy largely rely on funding from donors and only a 5th of its income is generated by tourism but this year they called on a pandemic has devastated the region's economy without the tourists that visit each year many only rely on their livestock as they lost their jobs us ranges in hotels or traders on the local markets. everything has become difficult getting food is a problem there are diseases all around us just locked down at home and can't live the little bit of a bill caldwell bomb through crowd funding the national a team has been able to provide food aid to the villages it's a lifeline for now it will take

a long time before tyreese will start coming back by their visit they help to protect kenyans wildlife but conservation is like only riyal worry that this may no longer work. so we need. a paradigm shift in their conservation movement to find out other are alternatives to sustain the important work that is done in conservation it's work in progress but o'leary ja hopes that involving the local people in this process will build more resilient communities and help nature to. how much trust was is up in kenya's maariv which areas of the us and have the biggest plastic with problems you may be wondering and we are wondering as well all these can be seen not only from the ground level but also from the way on high resolution

stiff light this summer where platforms and abs that make these complex available we have a simple. knowing where action is what's needed also helps us to fight against pollution get out and have a go. lucian in city parks that was the aim of the online call which hundreds of people in berlin followed the clean up call was based on data collected by volunteers who had discovered many polluted places in the german capital plan a supported the call the startups focus is environmental protection. climate change is not one problem climate change. lot of problems that are intertwined and our data approach helps us actually untangle this complexity we use the data to pinpoint exactly the locations and the types of issues that happen around the work that needs to be immediately. the berlin based startup analyzes data from

research institutions around the world. based on its findings plan a contact individual companies and community groups in the affected areas worldwide . they publicize their project and allow users to help fund them. data analysis can help to identify and address environmental problems move quickly . litter base is an online database that's open to everyone graphic show the results of more than a 1000 scientific studies on marine pollution. on a world map it's easy to see where research expeditions have already taken place. the latest results from the worldwide scientific community are regularly fed into the database. the aim is to make the global issue of marine pollution more

accessible and easily understood including to nonscientists. nowadays and over there if anything anymore especially because of social media and people like to have picked earth having these maps and this imo this has graphs are providing useful information in the really short time to the public. another example the global forest change database at the university of maryland uses a map to show the state of the world's forests since 2013 users have been able to call up info based on satellite images they can see the effects of forest fires illegal logging and reforestation over long periods the platform is also dedicated to protecting forests and their inhabitants it combines satellite technology with open data and crowdsourcing. data platforms make the problems more visible and with

an app everyone can do their bit to help tackle them the c o 2 tracking every forest on focuses on individual consumption and it gives you the chance to create and manage your own forest. or eco app is similar enter your daily habits with a few clicks and the app will calculate your carbon footprint and show you how to shrink it it also invites you to be a climate hero by supporting carbon offset projects that help people and the planet . for the digital activists in berlin mobilizing people is an important factor in tackling the global problem the climate for dickson has made people. get tired in unclear on what they need to do i think because of the language that is being used we speak. in a way that doesn't necessarily explain to people what the issues are we should be focusing more on actionable advices rather than simply speaking with big words

about the issues. with the help of these apps and data platforms we can all contribute to the protection of the environment. high paid but we the low carbon footprint that is amazing isn't it speaking of low carbon footprint our next report is about. stuff follow who goes my shrooms in ghana but in a very unusual resource a great new year to you all about how it works right. i believe i do stand up you're basically sawdust wise. fungus wars and a lot of patients. if you want to muslims this way then your work needs to be very precise and. this woman knows her fungus especially mushrooms businesswoman for.

money just one of the government's biggest commercial mushroom farms she had 5 years ago with just 10 bags today the company generates 150 pounds and sperm banks in each production cycle we supply a lot of. chinese restaurants. so a key. to the restaurant and also some of the household. a lot of the mushrooms. not much is needed to grow mushrooms spawn and in this case. there's plenty of prof tongues of the. every day field areas have municipal waste collection and so doest takes a long time to composed. so most of it gets thrown on to try ships and burn to get

that with all the garbage hardly anyone wants it apart from this mushroom grower. the mushrooms are very clear. that their mom come for. granted and that. air pollution exhausts from multiple build traffic and trash burning is an unhealthy mix reducing the amount of air pollution. for to come to concentration when she set up a mushroom growing operation. that on many of several other substrate the production of. every couple of months along still. arrives at the front. one of the challenges we face as

a mushroom cloud using company is the transportation of the roll much wheels from the sawmills to the farm site meanwhile the sawdust in itself is absolutely free preparing the substrate is simple yet labor intensive the sawdust is 1st mixed with rice bran and quicklime this mixture is then pressed into thousands of small bags fish will be the proof medium for the form guy in barrels the bags are he did say $100.00 degrees celsius to kill of microorganisms only then some straight inoculated with a mushroom spawn it takes at least 6 weeks for the 1st food bodies to pop up i will $100.00 well now both men and women but i haven't you know i have like 2 groups coming the morning and evening demand has grown german the corner virus pandemic. eatin mushrooms is considered to be good for the immune system and because of their

relatively high protein content more and more people see them as a heavy substitute for meat. to mushrooms cost a lot less than beef which is another reason they are gaining in popularity but i was lucky bob made wheat believe all checking this is amazing i love it if more people produced and consumed regionally grown produce like. mushrooms it could have a sustainable effect on gun as environment. they look great i mean that's right maybe it will somehow sawdust motions. we have. value taken away some ideas and inspiration. good bye and. i'm already looking forward to next week i couldn't agree more it is a good buy for me to hear in kampala uganda don't forget to check out

with prospects what changes are in store now the u.k. has finalized its divorce but the. math and how thanks for joining us after a half century partnership britain has finalized its divorce with the european union adulation pm greenwich mean time midnight in brussels the transition period for the u.k. to leave the european union time 20 bags of support as a hiding the freedoms one by the agreement critics fear the deal could leave the u.k. isolated facing new trade hood ols and red tape. i'm joined now by my colleague kind of claim to have a welcome as we're seeing not only the start of 2021 but also a new era in the u.k. and the european union yes speaking as a british citizen but also as

a german citizen this is a huge change it's odd because it's been going on for so long the been for us in negotiations sometimes fight back tempted because it went right down to the to the wire. in the end in order to for them to be there to be a trade deal which was secured so it all kind of felt like it was taking ages it did take ages and so the consequences of this really are going to take a little while to filter through but this is a massive change it's a massive moment really for the for the brits for the for the u.k. setting themselves apart from the european union as you said decades of cooperation now slowly being untangled and the european union has losing a really crucial member one of the 1st members and an important one that kind of built in many ways a bridge to the u.s. which is a huge hugely important relationship for the european union and the brits kind of

in between were were very important part of that and now there is this trade deal there is this agreement for the divorce which seems to please nobody particularly on either in the u.k. or in the e.u. although that you arguably got the better deal in the end we have a piece now which we can look how it shows some of the details there. from generally 1st british drivers on french or italian roads maybe needing some pieces of paper a green insurance card and an international driver's license and the future of their health coverage in europe is also still up in the air. not so happy holidays for certain loving brits in spain they'll be soon in was everyone else and must apply and pay for a long stay visa if they want to enjoy their holiday homes for more than 90 days because from now on free movement be free anymore. meanwhile e.u. citizens hoping to make a life in britain will be faced with

a points based immigration system and prove they are worse to the british state bad news for british farmers desperately looking for help during harvest time. traffic jams at the borders will simply become effect of life because goods entering and leaving the e.u. will undergo new checks and require lots of new paperwork so get ready track us for those half an hour wait. for these fishermen in the north of france breck's it is their meters they lose unfettered access to british waters home to 80 percent of their catch that means their livelihood is at risk but british fisherman should not start rejoicing yet most of their catch is sold on the european market. it's all change for bankers and brokers how much when and where they'll be allowed to work in the european union will be totally in brussels hands to avoid nessie surprises

many banks and insurance companies have already established in legal presence somewhere new european country. there is genuinely a lot to unpack there's a lot of changes coming from the u.k. of west as we're seeing what about the european union well the european union did get the better deal as you would expect if you compare the economies of the e.u. and the u.k. the e.u. is massively bigger than the u.k. so there is never going to be any balance there but the e.u. has a lot of hassle now if you think of what's happening in this this year is going to be the last year of angle america as chancellor of germany and a huge european figure she's going to be gone so the e.u. is going to have to kind of find its way with the how now one of its crucial members and as i said a bridge to the u.s. in many ways but also an important ally within the e.u. for western more liberal more democratic countries like germany like france and italy and balancing out countries like hungry in poland which have been moving away

from kind of a social liberal liberal lety and and democracy and so that's going to be a big change within the e.u. within the kind of balance of power within the e.u. and also don't forget the u.k. is a nuclear power so militarily also a big loss for the e.u. there's so much to look at so how do we know what comes next it's really difficult because everything that you look at every political every social every economic factor within the e.u. within the u.k. is going to change in some ways very dramatically. some of these trade agreements that have been you know launched this this we can agree number one that a lot have to unpack see what really is in the detail there but some of them have also been decided that they'll be on a sliding scale like the fishy fishy which merely on block when they've got the whole thing they've decided that they're going to push some of those to decisions on for several years so this negotiations that are going to be going on for ever credible times and clever thanks so much you're welcome. if you want to dive deeper

into a break that i think at the checkout d.w. as you tube channel our correspondents in the u.k. and e.u. lay out their windows and their loses from the deal. now the world is saying goodbye to 2020 and welcoming in the new year in the shadow of the pandemic not surprisingly the coronavirus has put a damper on celebrations and he says he's going ahead with spectacular fireworks displays and watches at paypal to stay at home to watch the show on television. paris again lives up to its nickname the city of light welcoming the new year with a spectacular fireworks display of michelin sleazy but this year's show took place without new year's revelers with police and forcing the country's strict 8 pm covert curfew. on the other side of the world new zealanders were partying like there's no pandemic the country

successfully eliminated the coronavirus in 2020 combining strict measures with effective leadership and that meant large crowds could gather to ring in the new here a rare way says in a world of scaled back celebrations. i think the scenes north korea claims it's had no cases of codeine team but face masks were conspicuously worn by the new year's eve crowds broadcast on state media . the secretive state putting on an upbeat performance to kick off a $22.00 lead. and many cities decided to go ahead with their usual fireworks with tight measures in place in the australian city of sydney people were asked to watch the dazzling display on television because of a new outbreak. i and in bangkok the number of viewers was

say goodbye to 2020 correspondents around the world and asking what people are hoping for next year it's very common trait i want to be very different to this one for me. i let my wish good health for every person for everybody in germany in 2021. might do i hope soon even anyone is actually putting their best foot to see me who is and actually just like being a bit more free and i like to meet i'd out but there's just so much fear and it would be so nice to be masked the to be able to meet family friends to be actually hug them you know just just be able to do the normal things again yeah that's my hopes. for myself i'm hoping that i can live a better life. i want a good family and for life to just be ok. i don't want a life of struggle although in life there is struggle no matter what nothing is

on t.w. . plane antarctica a continent mystery and natural wonders claim covered with ice 4 kilometers deep place temperatures can drop to minus $93.00 degrees celsius. 75 percent of our planet's fresh water is locked up in its ice sheet and yet it's classified as the largest desert on earth lead this could be the only place in the world where

diverse countries have rallied together in the name of peace and science to protect the environment least the part about the ice and the temperatures sure but the part about peace and the environment it's hard to believe led not just because i'm concerned about nature but also because i lived in syria in 2009. so i don't have much faith left in peace lead or in the international community led but i'd love to be proven wrong place. we've come to point to i mean us where the polar research vessel is picking up a group of spanish scientists to take them to antarctica. or you know already nervous you'll get used to it or it's no big deal.

you know where i could just drop off. the stupid it's amazing i mean i've even got a window over the certificate of bank for the us if i want to see the feet last night was rough and we went to bed early but i had a hard time falling asleep but i must have slept just 4 hours because i was so nervous about the trip by ticket. but i got up there and you know. i embarked on this journey to explore the myths of antarctica. after one day at sea we reach the end of the world. at the southernmost tip of argentina candidate's way though is still

a 1000 kilometers from the continent of antarctica this is the drake passage eddies and wind sheer and free here with being up violence seas and one of the earth's roughest waterways. was unbearable for but then the worst storm to do it is this year it was our 2nd trip back from antarctica if you say this for about 18 hours from south america when a severe weather system hit us from the star board side of it we faced 7 metre high waves and winds of up to 50 knots in the think when the us. every time the crew sails into the drake passage they have their mobile phones camera ready for settlers those words the point comes a monster wave. bitola. these are the outlines of cape horn a notorious maritime graveyard that harbors the sunken wrecks of hundreds of ships

even today the drake passage commands respect everyone batten down the hatches it wasn't so dramatic on our trip though. or for that one of them which luckily technology has improved a lot today before setting sail we can check the weather forecast to find the best window where crossing the drake passage of this. adventure may not be as wild as it once was. but it's still beautiful. 'd antarctica has been subject to territorial disputes for centuries the passage was 1st sailed by spaniards francisco they are says in 152550 years

later it was discovered by the english explore sir francis drake and bears his name to this day. in the early 20th century 7 countries laid territorial claims to parts of antarctica the overlapping claims of the united kingdom argentina and chile cost tensions that erupted into armed conflict between britain and argentina in 1952 as the cold war set and the last thing the world needed was a new geopolitical flashpoint it was that realisation that gave rise to the antarctic treaty. many scientists looking for ways to cooperate. international chief physical year 95758. worked out so well that there was this idea that there could be cooperation.

they fell for it there was a way and that's shown an article 4 of the trainee to set aside the claims and say that there would be a demilitarization but it's also as you may know one of the 1st arms control treaties so it was focused on keeping the peace in that respect as well. but none of that was the result of good will alone the extreme climate made it difficult to exploit the region economically and the u.s. and soviet union staked their territorial claims quite late in the game. 4 days after leaving point to irene us the reaches antarctica.

everyone is excited we got up at 5 in the morning to catch our 1st glimpse of the coastline. what we hadn't expected was the fog. going the way until now half miles away and you can't see anything. a few hours later the fog lifts and at last we can see antarctica. the s.p.d. does 1st stop is king george island the spanish team is delivering supplies to the world lyon station. antarctic cooperation is running smoothly. and i'm talking so that's what a few of us of a feel of the antarctic treaty is very effective. under its terms this location is

devoted solely to science you saw or slade a key role in getting all countries to set aside their other interests. at least publicly and it's been that way for a very long time and also for not only. the unfortunately the same is not true in other parts of the world but our story usually economic interests take precedence over scientific cooperation of this level of service not of envelope you come up with the most of this model be exported beyond antarctica. in a system that one as a good question it's something many on the planet would support and which of those there was that one of them. because king george island after is the easiest access to antarctica it has the greatest concentration of stations on the entire continent . there are facilities here belonging to europe why russia chile argentina brazil china poland peru ecuador the czech republic south korea and bulgaria the end arctic treaty regulates how many new stations can open so that it doesn't get too

crowded. it's always better to co-exist peacefully with your neighbors and get along the 1st thing we did was to establish good relations with all our neighbors cooperation is vital in antarctica. when there are tensions between the united states and russia that's a to hectic operation and atika i wouldn't say there's no effect but by and large the cooperation has continued and. that doesn't mean that those tensions aren't in some respects in the background somewhere but at least in terms of the antarctic programs and the arctic programs and the work of the scientists together by a large that that continues. in 2004 russia imported wood from siberian pines its national tree to construct a small orthodox church here in antarctica. critics

say it's a sly way to stake a territorial claim. the chilean station has its own church too it also has a school for the children of soldiers stationed on the base year round. it's the closest thing you'll find to a settlement in antarctica. in the 1970 s. argentina's military dictatorship sent pregnant women to give birth in antarctica to underscore its territorial claims to land dictator augusto pinochet copy the tactic but it was widely viewed as provocative and after the birth of 8 argentinians and 3 chileans both countries ended the policy today more subtle strategies are used to cement territorial claims as seen on chalayan television.

easter island will be overcast with cloudy skies whereas challenge and i talk to. friends children and i talk to the mothers he suddenly. wanted to lay and think about their country's claims to antarctica. they're up in a safe. to be honest there isn't much public debate on the topic daughter when i was little people did talk about it. but later on the political discourse subsided . today people primarily associate it with environmental protection. that's the trend i've observed especially among young people. in this in a percentage of the whole in one of the upset about i mean by julian's my age hardly discuss the issue. for us it's simple we sing and talk to us a place where many nations come together and think they don't there's no reason why we should be more entitle to it can anyone else so they are going to get a much do you think we can save antarctica if we fail to do the same in other

places. i think it's exactly because we made so many mistakes in other places that we have a shot at saving antarctica. spain has 2 stations in antarctica its national research center operates the one carlos the 1st station on livingston island it was built in the late 1980 s. and remodeled in 2008 into a modern facility that looks a bit like a space station. the station is used in the summer it doesn't need to withstand the harsh conditions you'd

expect to encounter in antarctica. today there is hardly any wind but 2 days ago we had casts again in 14. 80 kilometers an hour which drives the wind chill factor down to minus 15 or 20 degrees celsius you know right there. i don't even know paris and his team studied the continents geology which they say is essential importance to the rest of the planet and the arctic are facts the whole world's climate doesn't fall together for your know it's the planet's cold fact or it will feel a lot of it's really cold in the arctic too but not to the same extent that there's a lot more ice in antarctica than in the arctic you know that. the antarctic deep sea water reaches us far as the iberian peninsula and continues

to circulate around the northern hemisphere these waters sometimes flow all the way up to the arctic getting what they call back down again a motor driving the circulation as it arctica. one of the most important projects at the one carlos the 1st station is its study of the herd and johnson glaciers. the reason is moving evaluate the status of the mass balance of the antarctic ice sheet and found the gains of us of being greater than the losses of as the new place was if it leaks out of the proverbial what the exact opposite is the so is it getting colder in antarctica. then for the end of yes it is getting colder but our measurements and emitted to the last 15 years. scientific studies need to examine a period of at least 30 years if will close so we can see that there is a gradual temperature increase for 15 years and a temperature drop in the subsequent 15 years but globally the trend is towards

only.
