a new beginning is often a wonderful opportunity to examine choices and life if these trying times for something it's this inspiration to make a positive change towards a more sustainable real life us to be we introduce through to some people who have lived through words making environmentally friendly choices hello welcome to eco india. coming to you from my neighborhood in mumbai. india is the largest producer of milk in the world because of rising demand it goes without saying the primary reason for varying a. bit but a fall in india more than $100.00 does not commercially produce

a single drop of milk what may be your little bit to make such a contrast choice let's take a closer look. at. 20 acres of lush farmland in the busy city of noida. why organic farming is not uncommon even in the city this farm has taken things new level. as it is called has built a community of farmers that is self-sustaining and practices natural farming methods with a focus on the wellbeing of livestock. what makes this far more unique is its relationship to its family of cattle. meat could age a native of good. that's cut. from the sims region. this

beauty is called red cindy. from domino do especially suited for farming. areas of indigenous cattle from across india this farm doubles up as an animal sanctuary. cows and bulls have always been a part of agriculture but in the genius breeds are disappearing at a frightening rate tanks to the introduction of machines and the growing focus on dairy which prefers imported breeds to native ones because of the higher milk. some indigenous populations are down to as little as 100 animals. be john has a herd of 135 indigenous cattle of various breeds of which 40 are bulls. it's striving to develop some of the malpractises in farming in india today.

which. i think everyone knows how cruel the dairy industry is and when i got into this and when i started seeing how many beautiful indigenous cattle were there and how the history of us importing jackets from the west for this nuclear evolution and a lot of other things then the need to protect these. kind of became very strong these beautiful indigenous cattle. on the home and many of these are brought in. which don't actually give a lot of men. and i realise that these cattle are dying because our whole focus is on going. to preserve these breeds logical focus had to shift away from dairy. and. whole project was born i. he laid it up i didn't buy the down in oil gusher lot and it's going beast and. a lot of dung

lying around also means release it releases and you can get it's not even going to the right is. that dung whole project promotes an economy around cow dung every day sometimes in $400.00 kilo's are gathered to be converted into a vigilante of products. ensuring a 2nd income for fatherless suitable were not there he says we make seed was like the using seeds from big trees like the neem. a few scattered them on empty fields before dreams they started growing. we also make images of the day it is done in a shop and luxury using dung and mud these are used during the valley and customers come here to buy them and. the dung is also used as many 0 on the fields doing away with the need for chemical fertilizers.

your up your mind to them he says when we came here the feel of a sunday we couldn't do anything without going over board once we had enough stock of dung we started making natural mineo and used it for the fields and it took us about 2 years of preparation time are now the soil has regained its natural for to lety and we are able to grow vegetables very well. most of the plants are grown from heirloom seeds. and the farmers use traditional systems of into cropping companion planting and crop rotation. all food is grown organically. the vegetables harvested here include bitter gourd squash and pumpkin. be jim produces its own solar power and is off the grid. it's home to a large community of farmers from all over india. it runs its own school a clinic

a women's group and has direct access to weekly markets. the women's new skills allow them to generate extra income and the aim is to become completely self-sufficient. is one such woman whose husband farms while she knits and stitches products that are sold to visit does i'd be charmed. she says now we're mostly making mosques like this we make about 20 in a day and each $1.00 costs $50.00 rupees. it. takes a sustainable approach to farming with a focus on caring for the land and the animals. found not. non-dairy kawas eyed its heart will inspire others to follow.

the world biking is becoming more the popular not only is it trendy it's also good for your help and the embodiment and if you do chances of getting infected in the school the 19 times but many a bike so often multiply audited by especially if you'd move to the city or don't plan on staying for very long. we found some biking enthusiastic we're preparing bikes for refugees and short of visitors so that. kai wanya sci fi repairs fights for refugees here in berlin. he fled iran 4 years ago last year he started working at the hook invent a tailwind association. a bike is important for refugees. so it helps them. you mean when you look for

a bike online somebody cost 50 or 70 or 100 euros or. but i had a good thing didn't we accept a donation of 5 or 10 euros from a refugee from forward the senate well i've got 6 almost everyone who works here is a volunteer the bikes they repair all donated once they've been fixed up they go to refugees. if. only one yes if he has a paid job at the association and it's partly financed by the national volunteer service it all began 5 years ago when germany took in a large number of refugees the team and also me want to help the new comers they also want to promote cycling as an environmentally friendly mode of transport and recycling old bikes is especially sustainable. because we use everything if

a bike can no longer be written if we take it apart and use the components for another bike you could see that from 2 broken old bikes we create one new or usable one is on the supporters of. the team come from many parts of the world irishman graeme pope who's been helping out here for 2 years. outside of the convince pope and some friends have set up a bike sharing nonprofit organization called bike surf it maintains a fleet of 25 and people can bore them for a small donation. bike self doesn't aim to compete with commercial bike rental firms uses mainly come from the sharing community. their idea that if you can surf somewhere you can see there cheaply somewhere. and then maybe you can find somewhere to stay you can maybe find some cheap places to eat or for free then you might have pretty wife i then the next thing of getting

around a big city like berlin is the obvious answer is to be on a bicycle it's environmental it's good for you good for your health. pope says he hopes the idea catches on you can't currently borrow a bike in many other cities. you can book a bike theft bike online. and you can usually keep it for a few weeks or even longer. look invented meanwhile has a new project it wants to visit school classes to talk about bikes and sustainability . we want to get children and teenagers interested in cycling again so they think it's cool to ride a bike we want to show them how easy it can be to repair a bike we hope to get them so excited about biking that they don't even think of buying a car or even getting a driver's license but want to move about the city on wheels. convinced says

stuffing such a project with volunteers is difficult they're looking for funding so they can hire and pay more people. book and dip their pot of an unavoidable eternal cycle of nature be the all encompassing bush fire of the debilitating floods natural events destroy life yet at the same time create a base for new life conservationists are now studying a similar phenomenon in military training areas i mean deputy army with was a constant tank movements and artillery exercises make nature conservation at this army training ground a complicated affair before the ecologist start work the search party patrols the area to make sure there are no nasty explosive surprises lurking in the grass they're always accompanied by munitions expert from the german military or. they

found a missile its location is marked down and laser bomb disposal experts will pick it up. you have to search carefully as we use everything from. small 20 millimeter ammunition to large ordinance and explosives of course it's much easier to find bombs that to find small munitions and don't forget we've been using this troop training area for 80 years so you find all sorts of stuff here. just those 80 years of army maneuvers have helped create a very landscape in bomb holder or grasslands with wild herb's as well as woodlands and brush all ideal for biodiversity. that are afghans are so valuable because they're hard to find anywhere else there's no arable land so no pesticides no nutrients no fertilizers this is only for military maneuvers. the army has all the heavy equipment it needs to preserve the natural environment is armored vehicles used to take care of open spaces to make sure they don't get

overgrown it tears up shrubs and flatten small trees. germany has 1400 square kilometers of land for military drills the environmental group nabu commissioned a study and found something astonishing although there are pollutants like heavy metals and kerosene residue the sites are ecologically important. didn't let someone else because all of the situation in these areas is unique the exercises create a patchwork environment there are temporary changes what we ecologists call to start answers in areas where soil is removed there are pioneers sites where rare plants can grow as well as animal species you can't find in the regular landscape. destruction by tanks and artillery creates new ecological niches says army ecologist feel free cordon ponds form a tank trails and bomb craters where frogs and newts can spawn.

it's extraordinary the damage we see here from tank trucks you only see this in military training areas is especially important for nature conservation this is not static environmental protection habitats are constantly changing they're also valuable areas not in regular use by the military where nature can evolve organically it's not too early. in the areas used less often they deploy sheep several 1000 sheep graze all summer long of the military training ground so that's what makes sheep really useful is that they get into all the corners under the bush years into parts of the woods we can't reach a machine can't do that the sheep prince grazing on droppings at the turf into the state that nature needs. the sheep of spent numerous summers in the military zone and are well used to it so shepherd karl-heinz can kill. in the regular any

generally whenever they're shooting even heavy fire you'd be amazed how fast they adapt if they do get frightened they huddle together. in germany large swathes of the natural environment to been wiped out chiefly through intensive farming the untamed land an army training areas is highly valuable in ecological terms. to spite the bombs and grenades this unique environment get special protection. a majority of elephants live in captivity there are huge daughters to traction and have to perform tricks on command for the hordes of applauding tallest who visit them every year these tricks are often perfected by doctoring them repeatedly but the pandemic is part of the plan of incoming tourists while on the one hand this is good news for the elephants on the other their future threatened some of them now have received a new lease on life we accompanied an elephant rescue team to see for ourselves.

just one look and she knows exactly which elephant is which she now has 80 of them each one has suffered lect child learn knows all their stories. yet up. until just a few years ago this elephant worked in a nearby writing camp as the conservationist explains he had to carry tourists around every day if he didn't obey his trainer would pierce's thick skin with the bull hoke the thai activist has been working to protect elephants for 25 years. with her foundation she aims to improve the lives of the packet derms donations and able her to buy up animals who've suffered especially harsh treatment most of the elephants have spent decades being ridden or in showbiz but in childbirth elephant

nature park they no longer have to work or be in chains paying guests are allowed to watch the elephants but nothing more. people come and visit they don't disturb a friend their death be yours the money to come i've become more and more. again and again like child learned has exposed animal abuse using a hidden camera for centuries wild elephants have been subjected to prolonged violent taming methods now there are laws in thailand that prohibit animal cruelty . but chandler says this has done little to change the taming practice known as elephant crushing. the thai everywhere and that now is the problem for them the view of the whole. lot of the bribe ridden everywhere. the baby are called bravely you can see the breath when i walk on the. i have the will i have the totem pretend that i had ordered i don't care why i

don't get that i don't get that from there. but up that i cry i cry with a lot of disappointed about here when. i angry angry with. read the paper that is. that. should a lecture and her team are once again on a rescue mission. this time the conservationists will collect 7 elephants from this riding camp southwest of bangkok and bring them to the reserve near chain mind the camp owners themselves contacted chandler's foundation and asked for help as hardly any tourists are coming to ride the elephants to the coronavirus pandemic. an adult elephant is usually worth about $2000000.00 baht or more than $50000.00 euros but due to the pandemic the animals have become more of a burden for their owners. it costs them nearly a $1000.00 euros

a month for food and care. on a part kyra is happy to at least get $1000000.00 baht per elephant from china or its foundation. our situation has been dire since the start of the pandemic we had to close the camp for months a month before but regardless of whether we're open or closed we still have to take care of the elephants and we need to feed them every day. we were allowed to reopen on july 1st but there are simply no visitors. that might make it. the convoy sets off in the early afternoon. it wasn't love that they love the game. as long as you. know. that i'm hungry and no one. lives in them i think the journey old kids are.

the next morning after a nearly 20 hour drive the convoy reaches its destination the elephant nature from north of change the team is exhausted lecture i learned has hardly slept but nothing can dampen her mood. all the happy because the journey is life span elephant angry so yeah. i feel believe. once that restraining bars have been removed it's time for the elephants to take their 1st cautious steps into a new life. one. look at the newcomers will have to be isolated ready from the rest of the herd for 2 weeks in order to prevent the possible spread of disease. the rescuers frees the animals from all their ropes and chains. so beautiful.

lecture i learned has provided a new home for well over 100 elephants a home where they're no longer forced to pay. on a show where they can simply elephants. the lives of women in india are changing slowly but steadily more women are getting an education and have a career despite this 24 india at the top of the list of countries considered most dangerous for human we met the founder of a nonprofit organization in mumbai was encouraging women to stand up against sexual violence and gender discrimination this brought us to the day to day struggle it's 5 steps forward 2 steps back 5 steps forward 2 steps back and the progress has to be a daily protest if you don't let the government know that. the

fact that you have child who was brutally gang raped and murdered as a crime of ethnic cleansing that you had political leaders across party lines take to the streets with indian flag and in defense of those rapists it's just something you've never seen before it was just no child's body should be subject to that kind of brutality let alone on religious grounds. i am a lawyer in a social activist back in august 25th dean along with a group of fellow young amazing family list we started an organization she says which is a huge lead movement and even they had to fight against all sorts of gender based violence and discrimination and fight for equality.

at that point i started receiving extremely targeted aggressive debt and retreads. you know i'm following you i have been. following you i know where you live i think the idea of a woman cleaning agency an idea of a woman a sort of a demanding for her rights a sort of the fighting for justice. scares all structures and these weak people the only thing that they can resort to do is quit online and threatening us thinking that that is somehow with the silence of what he says. that while i'm still here i'm still fighting. and it's obviously taking a toll on than that of an incredibly supportive family my family is realizes that the work we do. has a significant impact on people's lives.

everything is stuff below deck to you being a woman will object to you being young they'll object to you very western clothes they'll object to you varying make up their logic to you speaking english the hill object to you c. fighting against discrimination based on religion they will object to you for raising your voice too much there's this notion of. there's this notion of speak up and fight for your rights but do so politely you know without offending people too much. of a dream that we don't pass on these realities to our future generations as accepted way of life that mud those don't have to tell their daughters marital rape as a view of life you just have to adjust to it i dreamed. you know more children are not being subject to child sexual abuse like so many of us war. i

dream. that. equality would be a normal way of life and would then anything my dream is to you know to she says to not be needed. now each one of us has access to a new lease on life many john joseph our life it comes down to how we grab it and run with it i hope to be as episode has inspired you to take a step in that direction i'll see you again next week until then please stay safe and dig into care of yourselves and your loved ones about.
