he's promising you rich. but if there's a warning never accept money from your super power become dependent on it. it's a great way to. start feb 19th on d w. a schumann is a thinking animal a mandate is to use our minds to maintain balance and harmony on not to create imbalance that a millions of different species which inhabit the planet for that and many of them are going extinct because of objectivity how do we make sure the earth inhabitable not only for us but for every living organism that's what we talk about in the

whole welcome to eco india and some of that i. let's start in the northeast indian state of assam at the start of the 20th century there were only $201.00 horned dr remaining in the what the largest royal species they could be found all over the northern part of the indian sub continent in the last 100 years conservation efforts have brought the numbers up to 3700 contributing to this effort is an organization which is using viable dogs. and is raising a venice about the well notable species. this material has a very special structure and each eat its own unique composition it's used to make lampshades notepads and even clocks for a global clientele. the paper manufactured by the woman in the small workshop in

assam is chiefly comprised of rhino and elephant droppings a notion that may have some turning their nose up but this done is actually ideal for making paper as entrepeneur michelle explains 2 from a paper making point of view these are the 2 i know most with dung is the most fibrous they eat long grasses they have what these animals have will be guys to process so when they fit the fiber is available to us to just boy and basically get the fiber the bulk in on go on like a lot of other animals where they would they existed there would be not enough 5 of you which is why we work with the fiber of the besides the 5 a very symbolic really and functionally good from a people point of view be inventive. and there's no shortage of dung in these parts the woodlands of the state of our home to around 2400 rhinos and at least twice that number of elephants fertile territory for an innovative concept. of

recycling by left excrement to make paper was in fact an idea born out of necessity . animals and. people who live in close proximity here the roads villages and farms are increasing the intruding on the habitat of local bite life not to mention the sprawling plantations growing to famous a sonti. many of the animals live in the protected natural parks and when seasonal rainfall causes the river brahmaputra to flood twice a year there's an additional problem. over here it is our village. and just over there less than one kilometer is the bark there are a lot of wild animals living there but i notice elephants digress and water buffalo when there we were birds its banks the animal know they are in danger and end up roaming through our village. and vile seeking refuge they also look for food rice

harvests here i regularity devastated by rhinos and elephants. i grew up near. me we would always find the animals on the streets everywhere taking a bunch money home with. during the rainy season they would come and forage for food in our farmlands and when we woke up they would be out in the fields. with their leader who. to day sure come are not out collecting rhino down which hill then dry out before it's made into paper he's very much an exception however. typically the villages are not in the. collection process because we don't want to start monetizing it because that could again lead to a forest resources that are very sensitive issues so we have to plead think if only

but we do collect dung from straying animals on one hand it travels then to us the fact we have a choice now which is where we make people. the idea for employing local villagers to turn dung into paper came from the shovel or us father retard cool mining engineer wanted to give something back to me. and that undertaking has been a boon for local communities creating new livelihoods for most people had no regular jobs among them is model because. they were run at the bottom of a what i now plan to save up and buy a tract of. we have to pay a lot of money to hire tractors to fill our land the thought of they have that i want to buy one of our own. the dung is combined with natural fibers sourced from farm waste such as jude fruit and cotton

. the resulting product is therefore also better for the environment than regular paper. people making is it was the one of the most water intensive industries in the world and is responsible for a lot of what we still have a lot of work goes on around this. we use we don't you that i know what it would be also the water that you use because it has no chemical in it be just use a basic nutrition and it gets pumped back into the. recycling own water in. the past year was a tough one for the company as demand committed to do the coronavirus pandemic over the next 2 years they're planning to break down production into smaller units to enable their team to work from home. the enterprise has provided a welcome source of jobs plus a son of the company's product saves $27.00 trees from being failed to make conventional paper and made the rhinos providing the paper manufacturers with the

raw material relations between the villagers and their animal neighbors have also improved. deforestation can be devastating to animals in indonesia with 300000 hectares of forest lost and 29000 they wrangled on population as a result has been declining heavy with many left in front and i mean what to fend for themselves there's a jungle school trying to help these orangutans to survive and find their way in the wild but the pandemic is not complicated this work let's see how this humans have to keep their distance from a regular things to even at lunchtime. because both species are at risk of contracting this new coronavirus.

these are rang a tang's are under lockdown and i've had to stay in their cages for months. this is yellow school if. you can train them. financial system to get them for it so we bring in the forest for them so it's like. right. and all this for us. so they can learn that it's their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice when they're later released into the wild. cages or disinfected twice a day. hygiene is of crucial importance. the teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves we talked to

the head of the project by video call. or we're going to talk. about long time d.n.a. is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so they're extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the risperidone tract. you know that's the main reason why we've imposed such a strict quarantine to make sure there's no transmission of a virus replicating in humans to a population in the wild. it would probably have no immunity atoll to such a virus. the effects could be devastating. duch of ella has been reporting on this project for years through the aim is to prepare a rang a tanks for survival in their natural jungle habitat in the bucket to go pollute rain forest in central sumatra. many were rescued as orphans often held

captive as pets under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the jungle school teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself around it things enjoy piggy back rides many of them don't like to walk much this was before the coronavirus pandemic. so no exercises in the forest for now even though they have so much to learn. probably the most important item on the curriculum of jungle school is learning about fruit trees what they look like and when they bear fruit. in which season or in which years. in order to survive every rung in town has to develop a 4 dimensional map in their head covering space and time it takes time to learn

all that but we've had to suspend the learning process where the trees and when do they bear fruit as the iranian towns have to stay in their cages. the lockdown can only be relaxed once the pandemic has been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even the not the best preconditions for release and survival in the law. those that have already been set free currently lead better lives keepers go on patrol to check on them and provide extra food if need be. here too social distancing applies over the past half century 80 percent of the region's rain forests have been cut down to make way for vast plantations. but our last visit paid to park stressed the importance of saving the forest and teaching the survival skills. then you. really if the orangutans are able to survive here then all the other animals in the

rainforest animal community will be to the tigers elephants and old the other species that's why it's so important to protect them. the number of covert 1000 cases among humans in indonesia continues to rise. the project has a backup plan if the lockdown goes on for too long it will release it's a regular tang's into the wild before they've completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forest it's that way the will be able to settle and have offspring and their numbers can grow until the threat of extinction here is banished britain is a country of. landscape gobbles at least that's what some groups like. water more. than long. england is hoping to convince on. natural involvement combat biodiversity.

these large blocks as they are called are allowed to dig around in the ground almost anywhere in the summer lakes in a state in the east of england acting as a secret weapon of sorts for the estate owner and farmer lord sommer late and. they're very efficient because you can afford to have quite a pig's. for quite a short time to get thee to century to the grind to a lot of open space for new seeds. lord summer leighton's the stage spans over 20 square kilometers and he calls the mansion home. jason park provides space for all the animals to roam freely. far from the stereotypical english lawn the state owner's allowing nature to completely reclaim on one 5th of his property. his father also run a farm but of the conventional sort where it would have been unthinkable for cows

and pigs to wander right up to the doorstep it was really very keen on. nature and and so wanting to do things better my dad particularly found it very frustrating he had to sort of almost a victorian hangover of tardiness. and so we we clashed a bit on the. lord summer leighton's pigs are slaughtered but at the same time they also help conserve nature by lending greater biodiversity to the forest the fern species had run rampant there for centuries and the pigs can help keep it in check . it over to. you know stimulate the soil to the seabed the floral seabed underneath here we need to disrupt broccoli. assoon as they completed their task the pigs have to leave the forest again if you just have pigs you'll only have this and that it's a disaster of a different kind so you know one has to control so rewarding is is

a great time but in that sense it's farming so we're going to try and keep the balance right between different species to try and get the perfect sort of mosaic of habitats to get the most biodiverse environment. every summer laden and those who share his convictions try to win over their neighbors most nearby farmers are skeptical. that resists change at best times. to traditional and. in that respect it's it's always you know i mean. there's a lot of people. but. when. some are late and doesn't agree that only wealthy landowners can afford to conserve nature and sees him self as a pioneer venturing down new paths. but he's convinced everyone will need to rethink things one has already found 200 associates thanks to the few farmers and

neighborhood initiatives as well as the nearby warren school for children with disabilities such as autism. the brits were incredibly good farmers and gardeners but that tidying stuff up and managing everything to. be a great example of this or that whether this is a school playing field or whether it's. a public park that's kind of. typical management you know for 50 years and this is you know it's a new form of management. this garden meant to stimulate the senses is largely left to nature. lord summer leighton says finding a bond with nature is an experienced not as many people as possible should benefit from and he wishes to transform the over 100 square kilometers of neighboring marshland into a nature park attracting eco tourists. and

. those kind of walking up and down this river valley but still with cattle and with. farming systems for that have to be gentle. but 1st he has to persuade his neighbors because pigs roaming free on the property really used to march for most farmers. animals on one just in back to buy what they can be instrumental in how we live our lives to insects for example are essential in our food production in fact the un's food and agriculture association estimates that up to 471000000000 euros worth of global food production relies directly pollinators like bees how can we protect them in him for the india beekeepers are experimenting with ideas for why their population. episode or not indigo the indian honeybee they are at home in the mountains of the indian subcontinent once there were many

species of bees in the northern state of the matter british beekeepers even get bees in traditional hives on the walls of their homes there. are still keeps his bees this way it's a practice he learnt from his father. holly was one of the typical characteristic of the so-called march in the march quarter just every household had been the heights to harvest honey by their own you. will leave as one of the few people who breeds bees according to the old tradition he was the bee hives much like his ancestors but instead off in the walls of the house the bees now live in the garden. the materials that uses to build the highways are from the region using local products makes the hives board affordable

and vironment to be friendly their appearance is reminiscent of the traditional him actually. cottages. have been in the past i only used to be used to produce honey i was satisfied with whatever little money i earn from it when i started taking courses i learned about the significant growth of the claim pollination especially here in the margin courses like the one school leaver commodity ended are offered in conjunction with the governmental programs in an effort to aid be preservation this is important because these are a source of income for beekeepers. my hands are saying from here matter you know our city phase honeybees are endangered is specially in this region. before destruction one of the biggest threats to b.s. is the destruction of their habitats the bee flora in here much of the trade is

even more imminent because fruit orchards in this state are often full of insecticides and pistol sites. we have seen that in our research insecticide present information. this species of bees that the government conservation programs are focused on are italian we the so-called mellifera during the 1960 india imported them in hopes of motivating people to breed bees commercially while indian honeybees produce an average of 7 to 10 kilograms of honey for colony annually mellophone are these produced 3 times as much each year but this is also how honey became an inexpensive industrial goods today beekeepers receive between 60 to 65 rupees per kilogram of honey that's around $69.00 to $75.00 euro cents the prices have also contributed to the decreasing number of small scale beekeepers in him archer could not sing from them issues the collector wants to change that.

and initiative aims to aid in the conservation of native bees which are considered more robust and resilient than italian bees they also don't require a large expanse of land. the region's gardens suffer ice as habitats for the small colony that are native to the area as a result indian bees are armed against best and climate change and the news of their positive characteristics is spreading. now people coming up to us and asking us can you. help me with the hive that i used to have in my old house so people are more. people are more responsive to be the end of. the initiative is involved with various projects including women's groups that expound on the work of beekeepers like. manufacturing live bomb and candle provides many women with their 1st opportunity to earn their own money since they're married so

everyone benefits from the preservation of in be the beekeeper their wives and of course the big. themselves they all do their part in meditating biodiversity. killing wildlife for profit is coming back to haunt you once many experts many wildlife clean a key dry world of rocking to seems all the seasons which are transmitted from animals to humans may have caused the call the blind pandemic when does need to your instructions that benefit wildlife and biodiversity let's take a look. wild animals in cages many of them injured and weak it's filthy and cramped and the animals are in close contact with humans. the corona virus may have started to spread in an animal market like this is the perfect breeding ground for new diseases. markets like this provide an opportunity for

pathogens to make the leap from one species to another. in the process the pathogen can develop characteristics that make it easier to spread to a 3rd species in this case to humans and. experts have long been warning that the trade in wild animals could be a ticking time bomb more than 2 thirds of infectious diseases that affect humans originated wildlife those include deadly diseases such as the ebola virus sars and hiv scientists call such diseases zoonotic because they originate in animals. and for most do not have diseases can be dangerous because the pathogen can develop new capabilities and its new host the new host has no immunity so infection can often lead to serious disease and. the current iris pandemic has thrust these wild animal markets into the spotlight around the world many are calling for a total pound. the animals are sold not just for food for private households some

species assault to make traditional medicine. aphrodesiac others and pricey delicacies on restaurant menus animal protection activists like these in vietnam say that the only way to reduce the risk of pandemics is to pound the commercial trade in wild animals like the woody of the viruses don't really make a distinction. you know a lot on the higher trade chain they don't make that distinction which whether their trade is legal or illegal whether their training is for bush meat for of food for medicine or as exotic pets activists agree the desire for an exotic pet is part of the problem there's a flourishing illegal online trade in them especially involving reptiles. that wild animals are also sold online illegally they pose the highest risk for

transmitting viruses to humans. all of the countries are having well that's right in this very connected world we live in and so now more than any time. more than any other time we need to unite all of the countries need to be a night to address while that crime which is the rule of the pandemic china has now temporarily the trade and consumption of wild animals. but as long as the worldwide market exists the threat of new viruses will continue. with great power comes great responsibility this famous line born from pop culture applies to our relationship with our planet our responsibility extends beyond just ourselves it extends to and new living organism we share all twit i will leave you without
