. and that doesn't take me a measurable damage to nature into account. green sea turtles gliding gently off the u.s. coast they make their home around a reef near the florida keys scenes like these are becoming ever more rare because the green sea turtle is endangered with less than 100000 nesting females worldwide there used to be millions of them. sherry crilly is on a mission as part of the organization save a turtle she patrols the reef looking for injured turtles or they frequently get tangled up in fishing nets or buoys or get injured by boats we ask really why they're so important to her. i just think sea turtles are in and make back they've

been around longer than almost any animal on earth. they are magnificent creatures they're beautiful they way hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pounds yet they're graceful but another threat to the sea turtles is climate change has water temperatures rise more females than males are being born that's a problem for the procreation of the species sherry crilly is glad that under president joe biden america has rejoined the paris climate agreement but her husband roger is convinced biden's election was fraudulent and he regrets the decision to rejoin the paris agreement i'm not happy that mr biden present died for less back into it. i mean more aligned with the. ministration to be out of it. america was cleaning up. and taking care of their environment and doing all the right thing. without actually having to spend all the money did

we entered the paris club the clinic or. so does the couple argue about it. sherry and i we don't talk about it at all says i want to hear it so i don't talk about it but try to keep it to myself as soon as sherry located sick or injured turtles she takes them straight to the turtle hospital they often arrive by special ambulance the clinic is well equipped there's even an x. ray department. frida is beset with tumors the doctors in the operating theatre are weighing whether or not an operation could save her tumors are in demick amongst the sea turtle population in this region of florida betty circle back blames the problem on human activity. so it's something that most likely has to do with runoff from the land this particular species a sea turtles there the herbivores so their natural diet is sea grass and algae and
11:35 pm
you think about it when things run off the land then they settle into the sea grass beds and this particular species is the species we see the most tremors it freezes tumors and metastasized to her organs the doctors finally decide that an operation would be pointless but these others have better chances of pulling through most have their shells damaged by boats losing a chunk of their arm or put them out of balance the hospital used counterweights to even things out and it least they don't have to scavenge for food here. occasionally the hospital manages to return turtles to the wild but they face new challenges. since humans have been on the planet. the development on the coastlines it's in crossing on there's that sinking area sea turtles come up once the fields to lay their eggs it's hard to find a sandy beach on key west it's

to children to come to it's. one giant problem and when you live in the sea of being here you. need to do if you live. how will climate change affect us and our children. w dot com slash water. we also look at the effects of human actions on wild. i found the climate's in this week's global ideas monoculture farming reduces species diversity and agricultural chemicals are heinie polluting. but there's hope farmers in the mexican state of each oh i can i'm making more room for nature again and everyone is benefiting. easy to do that i mean it is works 8 hectares of land and grows only strawberries $850.00 tons of
11:39 pm
strawberries every year to be precise the state of current is mexico's main strawberry growing area but the farming has taken its toll on the land. water levels in the river here have dropped the soil is depleted of nutrients so i mean us had to change his farming methods he bought up more land and installed a new irrigation system. yet using technology has made the strawberry plant more beneficial in rural areas especially it takes many leaders of water to grow one kilogram of strawberries but if you use this type of year a geisha you only need around 30 percent of the volume. and improving water management is one of the main goals of modeling a program that supports hundreds of small scale strawberry farmers it aims to
11:40 pm
secure a reliable income for farmers while not harming the environment it brings together nonprofit organizations like techno serve and international food giant down and down and comes regularly to collect large quantities of strawberries saving farmers the cost of transport easy to his farm now employs $40.00 people some of them even returned from the u.s. attracted by the good pay. if we are not just creating our own income now we're even able to employ others. with them backwards to stop people leaving this region to go to the cities or other countries we want people to gain a foothold here in their home country and produce something that right. he he and his son ed got get ready to show us another new development on the farm.

after a consultation with the german development agency. they created strips of green between the fields and brought in beehives. the g.i.c. also explained that biodiversity results in more productive strawberry plants. in the north and we have our own pollinators and that means we are sustainable it's clear where there are abuse there is pollination and that means there is life the fact of their abuse here shows that we're using non-aggressive chemicals which are not good for mental to the environment are going to we could use herbicides but we don't know because the weeds help prevent soil erosion so that when it rains the soil doesn't wash away. the other. that the. the beehives in the green verges are just

a 1st step he also plans to alternate the crops he plans to allow the soil to recover alberto rodriguez has already introduced crop rotation alternating between onions strawberries and different varieties of beans rodriguez only farms 2 hectares but the crop rotation has boosted his harvest considerably. he's also started using insect traps in the greenhouse to cut down on the use of pesticides. we had the problem that our plants were diseased sometimes we just had to guess what it could be. we are really didn't know what was wrong now techno service provided us with insect traps to identify the pests it's helpful we want to use products that are not harmful to the environment.
11:43 pm
the mad program also aims to improve standards of hygiene for example proper toilets have been installed near the fields. that's very new for battle rodrigue is a farming app it's designed to optimize water consumption and reduce the amount of fertilizers and pesticides needed you register the area say one hector and how much product was use that information is stored it will be useful next year when we create a register of which products help with which past. ones harvested the strawberries must be processed quickly while they're still fresh the app is helpful to customer down and keeping track of the entire production schedule and allows the company to ensure their supplier is sticking to sustainable practices dan ins regional sourcing manager. says everyone benefits the farmers the company and the

environment. with them and we think the value chain can be transformed into a prosperity chain we benefit from being able to use various supply lines which limits the amount of risk for the company while at the same time ensuring the farming methods are sustainable. but the big question is can a monoculture be genuinely sustainable rodrigue has his doubts he's an ecologist at the biggest university in latin america. if we plant just one species of crop over large areas of land we'll feel the effects even pandemics like the one we're experiencing right now can be traced back to model cultures but they're all ways to convert model cultures so that. is preserved. in the case of the strawberry
