of these $44.00 of us brimming with the idea of species all the amazing view of galaxies extending in the sky full of stars of light these natural wonders are becoming increasingly moving and it's not only the biodiversity that is threatened but also our help this week we look at how we can restore balance between nature and shipments i welcomed india on some of that i. let's start today's show with the big eyed slender loris a primate need to find the sub continent discovered in the mid seventy's 100 these nocturnal animals have been considered magical in parts of the me and because of these there's a group of threats to their lives not to mention the imbalance in the ecosystem it will cause if they were wiped out all the musicians of the region i'm now coming forward to protect.

it is extremely rare to see this tiny nocturnal the slender lotus lives in the branches of trees and like monkeys they don't jump from branch to branch but move slowly and carefully and being extremely shy by nature they're really spotted in daylight. despite that at least one species of slender nortons is gasified is in danger. boredom or the model of the good god and i don't want the world there wouldn't be any of particularly would they live in groups you know but come out to hunt alone at night. go on average the only be about 300 grams and don't run fast you know and out of the really want to work instead they really move with liberation. they do really want when they come out at night to hunt for food or water they sometimes come down to the ground and cost. a little bit of what

i remember one of the one of the more knots of bikes and cars feel to see them in the dark and being the slow animal they often kill when crossing you go oh yeah girl i'm going to get very want to get there you have it i'll mail id were there maybe i wrote actually i've been i don't need to. although they are protected under the indian wildlife protection act their numbers have declined for a range of reasons including climate change and have a dock. yes sometimes they are supposed to be leaves. endemic to the eastern gods the. ones found great numbers from sudden on the predation to the southernmost tip of india today only exists across the scattered areas. i have one has been involved in the efforts to safeguard the slender loans for the past 60 if he's away in the feed strips

a nonprofit organization based in southern india. the program focused on raising event as well as creating or dunnit of sources of income for those who previously on money from hunting the moors. the slender loris is all this been linked with various local beliefs they may be associated with black magic are considered a bad omen for pregnant women but they're also used in traditional medicine as a result this little animal has been hunted for years. you know wanted a lot of. in the past children used to catch in a recess and tie rules around their necks so that they could leave it. being a small animal the concept of that kind of abuse and so did i i take it back when we did a study in one area we found there were only 4 slender lorises left bus square kilometer. poaching has been

a big issue up until a few years ago. belong to a group of villagers regularly for which to look for a quick buck. you had 10 years ago there were many mortar landed a lot of people were calm. so we would hunt them at night following their deflecting night the other would you with a walk. on a very of that if a cautious these men would hand over the captured animals to middlemen and born in the animal training most of them one from the many of the animals were sold illegally on the international market notice is often exported for research purposes in medical labs similar to lab rats. since learning from the and you'll see it's not it's just benefit of approx and my life we have left poaching and real life talking we no longer allow poaching if anyone's traders come here to be informed of what is department immediately on the media. would then i

would have lent of 20 to 25 centimeters this small mammal plays an important crude in a species of biodiversity feeding on the nectar of several kinds of fluff slender lotuses act as fallen into who's and see disposal helping to regenerate blank life throughout their habitat. through the effort of the seeds trust i allude as a forest has become a sanctuary where the fringe religion is the area is more than 8000 acres and sides a safe haven for the lawyers. the very men of this district also play a crucial role in many ways they are the backbone of the conservation program they depend on produce from the forest for their livelihood or the last few years close to 50 of them and from the local area have planted hundreds of native trees and shrubs both to help raise the water table and to provide more canopy for this small

friends today the vermin of our lower are also well cleaned in sustainable harvest practices yami have assets in the love. in the past we used to pick up all the turkey babies we didn't know about why don't some for seeds good help groom trees. only that we have begun to relieve that is when the fruit falls down that new trees begin to be crude as variants high up but it won't be until i get one part of the law. today most of the local budget to growers have switched to organic farming realizing that the widespread use of best defines also killing the losses as they mainly feed on insects. today boast 15 to 20 slender a lot of suspense quite. that's 5 times more than just a decade ago attracting the attention off conservationists around the world for the success

a story. for many of us artificial light changed our lives my home for instance like many homes and cities has some like mimicking a leading light with which i can work read and countless other things once the sun sets in the. but is it all positive the energy needed for lighting is often not from renewable sources and contribute to the carbon dioxide emissions causing climate change and that's not the only negative impact what can we do to combat light. let's take a deeper look at this problem i have never ever seen anything like this obviously you have a very real this is a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. in 1904 los angeles was hit by a strong earthquake it caused chaos on the streets and the blackout just as you look out your window is probably fishguard right now during the blackout many people called observatories and even 911 not because the earth was shaking because

they saw a giant silvery cloud in the sky that cloud was in fact the milky way countless stars they had never seen before you maybe haven't heard much about it yet but light pollution doesn't really consume stars it seriously affects our health and the environment. terms of proportional changes to. the world the introduction of this late into the night is one of the most dramatic changes that we made to the biosphere. this is because of the researches artificial light emissions from cities and their impact today more than 80 percent of the world's population is no longer experience dark skies. for example nights are so bright in singapore that people can't adapt their vision for darkness today scientists are warning of the dangers of artificial light at night. it did me. and that's when i decided to use maybe. this is the u.s. desire activists in india his goal reduce night by scientists now consider

artificial light at night a form of pollution. very tired of element of. multicellular organisms plants and animals that vertebrates burden mammals and primates and humans very death hold her there was this constant thing those coming from the environment this is the time this is not a time this is those. areas that have experienced drugs like pollution that signal is perfect the dream has been dramatic we create. industrialisation over the past century has led to assertion artificial illumination so we see that most countries in the world are becoming brighter this is accelerated in recent decades particularly in asian cities all violet dots on this map show new light sources installed in india between 20122016 there are various components of light

pollution there's clear that's when extremely bright like causes which are discomfort. and clutter irritating groups of pride lights. like trees pass when night falls with not needed or wanted and sky glow when artificial light brightens the night sky over cities. it's just you know a new part of it so you. you know you can you can see the aren't understood or. are combined with a lot of this is the view from the u.s. apartment in mumbai he lives in the 7th floor with his family and is literally in the spotlight the lights from nearby streets and the stadium shine directly into their apartment light years beyond the late program work sometimes. and the more i used to get because nobody will like you know bright lights coming into my group . and differently in my pinny because they could not. curtains and sleep

masts failed to improve the situation so in 2018 he complained to the authorities claiming to write to darkness at 1st they ignored him even those studies linked to fish like to eye injuries sleeplessness. and maybe even depression some studies of shift workers have indicated that exposure to light at night could increase the risk of breast cancer but why there is a hormone. that are brain makes called militant and which in animals is a signal of darkness. when we don't get that hormone when we don't produce that hormone because we are exposed to so much later apartment or the shift worker. there in the whole working of this whole biological system becomes problematic. sleep digestion and blood pressure are regulated by this biological clock. the problem is not only brightness but also. blue lights from fonda's place screens and

is similar to daylight while lights in general can suppress the production of miller tone and blue light from screens and a disk can do so more strongly that's why experts at harvard recommend not using bright screens or any delights for 2 to 3 hours before going to bed or switching to dimmer and warmer shades of light. the light at night doesn't only threaten our health there is a tremendous change because increased brightness at night time is new. this is a bigger shirt from the life and it's institute of freshwater ecology and inland fisheries in berlin she researches the impact of light on ecosystems lives. like half of the. corals birds and many other species of wildlife struggle when it's light at night where it used to be dark freshly hedged turtle strip make their way

into the sea but lights near the shore can mislead them they head inland and die artificial light at night contributes to the decline in insect populations one study says the decline amounts 200000000000 every summer in germany alone such light also contributes to a decrease in nocturnal pollination activity a u.k. study found that where there's nighttime lighting trees but earlier and lose their lives later than elsewhere all these various of facts and different creatures and plans together affect the environment as a whole so the dangerous can maybe humph that. others stay in the. spirit and it's this earth. day trading relationship. changes. with cheaper and more efficient light sources the world is getting brighter every year the international dot. sky

association estimates that one 3rd of all outdoor lighting in the u.s. is waste is fulfilling no purpose. as fossil fuels are still the main source of energy this contributes quite unnecessarily to air pollution and climate change so what can we do as individuals it might sound obvious but turn on lights only when and where you need it and then turn off again. that a motion sensor turns on and off or you use lamp shades for instance to block unwanted stray lights use lights with a warmer tone they can be just as efficient and lower the intensity when possible dimming is the magic word here. entire cities even entire countries can adopt such solutions france for example has a band sky beams and in some places set times when lights and public spaces have to be dimmed or switched off as well as keeping the brightness of lamps and ecological

the sensitive areas. i'm afraid by people will be amazed this is as he gets if you . and you know if that means to be a lot of rules and regulations. and. after protests from citizens like militias desired by politicians have signaled they're open to reducing that pollution they have called on the indian ministry of environment to implement laws ilish design hopes it won't take a blanket for the people of mumbai to see the milky way one day or rather one night . i for one always love the chance to see a sky full of stars but our actions are continuing to make that less likely they're also having an impact on the weather whether it's the increased intensity of tropical storms flooding drought it's being felt all over the world in northern europe finland has been getting warmer in one of the coldest regions off and

receding snow into spring but their students have started campaigning to cost the $20.00 putting to summer olympic games it may sound like a joke but there's a serious message behind that big. skier in shorts braces along the icy track pulled by a reindeer the video clip is a humorous advertisement to stage the olympic summer games in salah northern finland. but. the reindeer driver in the video is chemo to how he says it was great fun but the video comes with a message climate change means winters in his homeland are no longer is cold as a used to be. normally it would have been so that 1st comes the below 0 degrees and the rivers and creeks they freeze and then we get the snow on top but now this ring turtle lodge their interest got like 20 to 30 centimeters of snow

on the frozen land. every morning team of 2 has still checks is most valuable reindeer the ones that pull a sleigh. tourists who come to solve the love the sleigh rides so the attraction is a good earner. solid claims to be the coldest place in finland. aside from reading reindeer 3000 residents make their living from tourism and selling wood from their forests. the visitors appreciate that they can ski here as late as may for the time being at least. but to hack and pack up the sleighs if the winters get warmer here. climate change could even keep the summer visitors away. and last time of guiding middle european people in summertime the reason why they came to love london summer watch that it was through a hole in in germany in the netherlands they definitely don't want it to get is

warm as it does for the summer olympic games despite the fact that in this tongue in cheek video they're playing volleyball in the snow and swimming in the ice. what. scientists are confirming salo isn't all that cold anymore climate researcher took up pet of the university of helsinki has a research station near sala. he says in northern finland climate change has reached crisis level. the arctic areas in general general are warming faster than the the global average so even double the global average so this would mean if we talk about $1.00 now global average transfer 2 to 33 to 4 degrees. in the in the arctic areas so we decide

a considerable and very serious issue. salas mayor says they broadcast the seriousness of the situation effectively to the whole world with their humorous olympic at. it attracted a lot of interest on line people discuss about it. i'm quite sure that this discussion goes on. then. we want all sorts of people. share what they have done. while tourist guide t.-mo to how worries about the effects of climate change in the future reindeer herder. has to deal with them here and now. she and her 2 children regularly have to take extra fodder out to their herd a direct result of climate change. into a time when there is snow and sand comes raining water and then comes

freezing time so they are on the snow and the rain day can't have any fault onto the ice without the expensive store bought fodder the reindeer would go hungry and nina much would have to move her family and livestock somewhere else or give up hurting reindeer everyone in the chilly little town of sala in northern finland hopes there is a future for them here. but without the summer olympics. one of the biggest impacts we're having as humans is for burning of fossil fuels particularly in germany the government has promised to phase out the use of this polluting crock by 28 but then comes the question what will happen to the old coal mines well some enthusiastic and badminton is some already providing us with an answer let's take

a look. at one step closer to extinction opencast mines in germany the 7 machines here in the east will stop extracting brown coal in 2023 for decades the digging in demand secure energy supplies and jobs but it's also a dirty business the main contributor to c o 2 missions and a blow to the landscape now blank and ripped off its by diversity and vegetation and homes christina cats grew up in a village that was destroyed to make way for the shuttles. losing her home and seeing nature vanish left a mark on her life today the biologist is giving the region's deserted landscape a new face by bringing back local flora duck to the green heart this meadow in the midst of the open mine is the core of a 1200 hectare big area for conservation giving regional and sconce vegetation like

fielkow weed a home. of all expert as a boat innes i could cry when i'm here and it just warms my heart because it is so beautiful 90 percent of the vegetation here on the red list of threatened species that would be the spirit of the ship for a safe haven for the wild and read the green heart was the 1st part in the open mind to be restored in 2009 it's a team effort between the local coal company and coyotes with the know how about wild plants ecologists from all of the world visit to learn about this project. 30 back before i now see post mining landscapes as an opportunity for nature huge spacious that are solely reserved for nature with out settlements. in the future this concept will be applied to many more spaces one example so the parks are usually embedded in fields with only a little plant variety but here especially blended combination of regional flowers

blossom and focus you know cats that's an important healer for her business close with the open mind she and her team grow wild and raff laois for regional and e.u. conservation projects and it's also here on the company's farm where they're pretty use the seed mixes unlike cultivated plants the seed of wild ones are ripe for harvesting at different times and they are harvested by hand a tough job. it's learning by doing and lucrative depending on size and harvesting technique seats can cost from 352-1600 euros per kilo buddy end of the year contracts and a group will have 4 tons of the valuable goods the business that once started with 2 employees in 2011 today keeps 25 scientists and workers busy conservation will now require that only regional seeds are used in such restoration projects and his

company is one of the 1st to offer the us also making expert analysis rescue threatened plants more relocating man's son nothing gets lost its clients that being there every little thing in nature on this planet in this universe is somehow interconnected we belong together also humans belong to this and if i lose a part of it then i lose part of the whole thing and a bit of myself this is where my personal motivation comes from. through an aisle and that's also why christina wants to go further. asked the baron lands around the open mind nearby are getting greener and the business is growing she's offering her knowledge abroad where there are still many open minds and spaces that could be revived threatened regional plants. reduce reuse recycle nature has been using this framework to heal itself long before we

heal with came up with a sketchy slogan whether we get with the plan and walk with who took or resisted and work against nature is a toys one of us has to walk past stories to be have shown the impact of these choices i hope you can make an informed decision about your actions going forward i'll see you again next week from all of us an hour in germany good buy.

good. to. be in good shape. sometimes it's not easy pulling together and doing the things we wish to dave. how come we get into the flood. there with math it involves craven exercise is positive thinking so how does get things made a big. success

the way. there are certain habits i simply can't kick and before i know it my time's up. oft but it's frustrating when i don't get things done or end up feeling stressed i'm going to ask of you know samone and how i can learn to avoid that situation. right away. so for. somebody who works as a systemic coach. she helps people find their strength and achieve their goals even when things don't go as planned. for someone whose phone this is why is it so difficult to change our habits. as a smoker if so i don't really isn't easy because our habits our habits after all they're very entrenched they're part of our lives and they're part of our comfort

zone. so if i want to make a change toward a healthier diet and healthier ways of eating. that might mean changing an entire area of my life. company. can also help to think what other goals you might achieve by saying healthier eating habits those other goals might be losing weight improving fitness and living longer those schools vary from person to person but the more goals i have that can be achieved by reaching my goal of a better diet the better own well being. of jesus i. and patience is also crucial especially when it comes to set backs sometimes you take 2 steps forward and one step back and that's just how it works. so you have an a practical tips and tricks to help yourself reach your goals. you

know that gets yes there's a really wonderful method that anyone can use it's called the loop method or just answer and then safe do you make top 10. stands for wish out obstacle plan it's a goal setting strategy developed by psychologists for people to use in various aspects of life at work for example in their eating habits and did making other lifestyle changes. my goal for example would be to reduce my sugar into but i really like sweets with my afternoon tea so what should i do. ok it's fair to say that's ok so 1st i'd ask you to formulate your wish i was what you want to do here is create a kind of vision a vision based on your own imagination and feelings. and visualize what it would

mean for you to have a healthier diet because. right so i'd like to eat healthier and especially last sugar the most positive thing i can imagine connected to that is that i'd feel more awake in the afternoon. back to you i feel really focused and overall i just feel better and my mind feels more clear. cut through. so now we're going to move on to the other side of things what exactly are the inner obstacles holding you back. i mean the one in our obstacle is that i use. sweets to reward myself to get through the rest of the day . right and now we get to the core of the method which is coming up with a plan and then plan then. as

a very. so if i feel the need for my sugary treat then all grab a small handful of cashews i like them a lot too. in real life i tell you to keep adding another 3rd and 4th idea until you run out of ideas so eventually your plan will be so fleshed out that your brain really can't do anything but follow it by creating that if their plan you'll be well on the way to redirecting those all habits or. supplying. variance and if that doesn't work right away what should you do then. that's a very important question when in fact it happens to all of us i think it's really important to show yourself a bit of kindness in that situation but you also have to be firm. to show yourself

some appreciation and respect. we all make mistakes fall down pick ourselves back up brush ourselves off and try again i'll stay in course. i neuer. thank you for this conversation at many practical tips so my pleasure. and if this book method appeals to you there's also a free app available in a number of languages i think i'm going to try it out right away. have you ever had that feeling that sense of focus and joy when you're fully immersed in something like exercise making music or playing again psychologists call it flow can it be that. mom playing an instrument. or engrossed in a book. or running as a fan or you can enter a zone known as

a state of flow. of. absorption in what you're doing and the feeling of. i mean for born that everything is just flowing out of its being in the here and now by this time and you know and carter. under my detention no sense of time effortlessness that pretty much characterizes the state of flow that can you actually make it happen. these 3 are going to try they're scaling the peak so that they can sit down again on their mountain bikes. will they enter into a state of flow. sports psychologist all of us studies flow. and experiment with sports students 1st measured their heart rate and determine their optimal exertion level. then he had them run on

a treadmill. floor and stoudemire done flow emerges when the challenge a person faces matches his or her abilities if it's easy enough to be mastered now past the nice guy. that means the mountain bikers won't feel the flow if the route is too difficult thing to icy or narrow. if so many of the so after a 2 hour find the 3 are about to head back down how do they think it will go. past then a few spots look a bit tricky we'll have a snack and then will start in with us. they're about to find out if the challenge matches their abilities and skills it's been a bit tough. to. get out of the head. of. the fight if there was a. there's another rough stretch ahead. why is being in the

zone so pleasurable what goes on in the brain those are questions all of us want answered. there's a new theory that says the experience of flow arises when activity in the prefrontal cortex is reduced. cortex. that is the front part of the brain associated with problem solving logical thought and the emotional evaluation of situations. according to the new theory there is a correlation between reduced activity in that region and the. people with depression tend to brood on how bad things are for them the world at large. that very much involves the prefrontal cortex. if they can stop thinking about all but if they go for

a run say that region of the brain becomes less active and they find that very very pleasant. i'm going near. children are often for him gross to play no brooding no self-consciousness with play sports and making music the chances of entering the zone are high. with music you 1st have to feel you have the skill to play your instrument and then it takes a lot of practice. linda has just started to learn the accordion. we must show off if you manage to get the children into a state of flow it's just great. little musicians feel happy and they make the mental connection. you know this is what i'm doing it for this is why i practice. this or and it was found. in principle almost any activity has flow potential

if one key condition is fulfilled. you have to enjoy what you're doing if you want to enter the zone or it won't happen if you don't like it then you'll start thinking why on earth am i doing this. back to the mountain bikers completed their descent well i didn't follow. up so it was 2nd half was pure flow it was perfect just rolling and no stopping it was great. can we actually make flow happen the answer seems to be do what you enjoy and master the relevant skills down with a bit of luck things might just begin to flow. how many hours a day do you spend sitting at it up too much sitting is unhealthy but there are ways of staying active even when you spend your days at your desk.

getting more exercise is something the sports scientists want to encourage 100 years for people to lose their weight to and from work as a training course they've installed a series of signs around their university campus with exercises that anyone can do in a matter of minutes. to vickey. this route has 8 such fitness stations you can do the 4 kilometer route during lunch break or after work whether running jogging nordic walking or just walking but. the hope is that this workout program will inspire students and staff to sit less and move more a lot of people spend far too long sitting down often without a break. but typical day of an office worker get up and sit down at the breakfast

table and head to work she did in a car bus or train to get to work and sit down at a desk at lunch time shift to another chair. practically all activities are performed while seated then it's time to head home once again on a seat then come supper guess what seated at a table and to round off the day and evening in the armchair. office workers might spend up to 15 hours a day this way studies show that a sedentary lifestyle can make us sick it's been linked to backache cardiovascular disease and try to diabetes the sports scientists would like people to change their ways. if i sit at my desk for 7 hours and then go to the gym that doesn't make up for my lack of physical activity it's certainly good to follow

recommendations and exercise but if i continue to have a sedentary lifestyle at work or at school then there's still a risk factor for an entire range of illnesses. staying active at work helps reduce that risk. is treadmill comes with a desk attached. to it glide smoothly. and it said noise absorbent coating. the user's own pace determines the speed. the height of the desk can be adjusted and there's a back rest for when you're standing still. once you've gotten used to it you can repeat make phone calls while standing or walking

. then there are desks you can stand out with out a treadmill a cushioned mat helps keep the body active. ringback if you'd like to take a seat a wobbly stool it keeps the muscles working. on another key factor that staying on your feet all day isn't the solution either it's not a case of sitting is the new smoking so standing is the cure now they key is keep moving and keep changing your positions. students here can take active breaks between classes stretching or more energetic moves. online videos demonstrate exercises that anyone can follow even where space is the limit. most people who try it stick with it and try to integrate it into this.
