glitter glitter. the fight against prejudice i don't call gay people like i did nothing and just dancing. for. little stars all good. you know. these for for this agreement with the world why do you have species called the amazing view of galaxies extending in the sky full of stars like these that someone

does are becoming increasingly fit and it's not only the biodiversity that is true but also help this week we look at how we can restore balance between nature and. india. let's start today's show with the big eyed slender loris the prime meat meat of to 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 grave threat 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 and now coming forward to protect. it is extremely rare to see this tiny nocturnal slender lotus live in the branches of trees and like monkeys they don't jump from branch to branch but move slowly and

carefully and being extremely sharp by nature they're really spotted in daylight. despite that at least one species of slender nortons is gasified as indentured. boredom or the model of the good god now you don't want the world at all and then you have particularly a little 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 whenever they really want to work instead they move with liberation. they really want to when they come out at night to hunt for food or water they sometimes come down to the ground and crossroads. 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 and they often kill when crossing you go oh yeah girl i'm going to get 3 what a good video of it i'll mail id were day and every hour or actually not only did.

although they're protected under the indian wildlife protection their numbers have declined for a range of reasons including climate change and have a talk. sometimes. superstitious beliefs. endemic to the eastern gods the. ones found great numbers from sudden on the top of the age to the southernmost tip of india today only exists across the scattered areas i have been has been involved in efforts to save goddess let alone this for the past 60 he's with the feed stress 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 lawyers. the slender laurence's all just been linked with various local believes 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. in the running a lot of. the order in the past children used to catch lorises and around their necks so that they could leave it there. being a small animal the concept of that kind of for us 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. belonged to a google village regularly for which to look for a quick buck. 10 years ago there were many more to lend a lot of people were calm asking them so we would hunt them at night following

their deflecting ice with the weather where you were the one. on a vero of that if a cautious these men would hand over the captured animal 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 the search purposes in medical labs similar to lab rats. since learning from the and you'll see a lot of benefit of approx and i life we have left poaching and real life dockets that we no longer allow poaching if any most traders come here to be informed of what is department immediately on the media. with an average length of 20 to 25 centimeters this small mammal plays an important crude in a species of biodiversity feeding on the nectar several kinds of fluff slender lotuses has fallen into and see dispersed. helping to regenerate plant life

throughout their habitat. through the efforts of the seeds trust i allude is a forest has become a sanctuary with its fringe religious is the area is more than 8000 acres in size 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 their small friends today the vermin of the lower are also well craned in sustainable harvest practices and they have assets in the us. in the past we used to pick up all the turkey babies we didn't know about lying some for so you could

help groom trees. only that we have begun to relieve that wrist when the food falls down that new trees begin to be crude as variants all high up but it won't be until a good one part of the law today most of the local budgeted live growers have switched to organic farming realizing that the widespread use of best defines also killing the lotus as they mainly feed on insects. today boast $15.00 to $20.00 slender losses by square kilometer that's 5 times more than just a decade ago attracting the attention of conservationists around the world for this success a story. for many of us artificial lights 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 do countless other things once the sun sets in the evening 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 white. let's take a deeper look at this problem i have never ever seen anything like this obviously every 3 years a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. in 1904 los angeles was hit by a strong earthquake it cost chaos on the streets and the black ops just as you look out your window it's probably fish dark right now during the blackout many people called observatories and even 911 not because you have all 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. turns a proportional changes. 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 research is artificial light emissions from cities and their impact today more than 80 percent of the world's population 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 make me a quake. and that's when i knew that it was us maybe. this is nina's desire activists in india his goal reduced night by scientists now consider artificial light at night before most pollution. free be a player development of. multicellular organisms plants and animals and vertebrates heavy burden mammals primates and humans very death hold her there was

this constant signals coming from the environment this is the time this is not a time this is the last air in areas that have experienced our light pollution that signal is affected it has the dramatic we create. industrialization 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 violent dots on this map show new light source was installed in india between 20122016 there are various components of light pollution there's clear that's when extremely bright like causes which will discomfort. and clutter imitating groups of bright lights. like trees pass when night falls which is not needed or wanted and sky glow when artificial light brightens the night sky

over cities. it's don't you know are in and out of it so you would you know you pretty going to see the aren't going to cross because you. are combined with a lot of absolution 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 lights from nearby streets and the stadium shine directly into their apartment flight used to your the late program work sometimes. and the more i used to get because nobody liked you know bright lights coming into my. bedroom and it didn't really in my opinion because they could not. curtains and sleep masts failed to improve the situation so in 2018 he complained to the authorities claiming rights to darkness at 1st they ignored him even though studies link are deficient like to eye injuries sleeplessness obesity and maybe even depression some

studies of chip workers have indicated that exposure to light at night putting cream is 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. and 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. then the whole working of this well i left the system becomes problematic. sleep digestion and blood pressure are regulated by this biological clock. the problem is not only brightness but also. blue light from fond of space screens and it is is similar to daylight while lights in general can suppress the production of melatonin 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 bill from the lab and its institute of freshwater ecology and inland fisheries in berlin she researches the impact of light on ecosystems live. life hazard that corals birds and many other species of wildlife struggle when it's light at night where it used to be dark freshly had total struck make their way into the sea but lives near the shore can mislead them they head inland and. artificial light at night contributes to the decline in insect populations one study says the decline amounts to 100000000000 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 affects on different creatures and plans together affect the environment as a whole. the day of your skin maybe humph because the. other. day in the. spring and it's yours. great relationship. changes because just those of us with cheaper and more efficient light sources the world is getting brighter every year the international dock. sky association estimates that one 3rd of all outdoor lighting in the u.s. is wasted 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 the go on that a motion sensor turn it 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 banned sky beams and in some places set times when lights and public spaces have to be dimmed or switched off as well as capping the brightness of lamps and ecological the sensitive areas. imo created by people will be amazed this is as you get this you. and you know we don't need to be a lot of rules and regulations. and. after protests from citizens like militias. by politicians have signaled they're open to reducing light

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 residents 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 races

along the icy track pulled by a reindeer the video clip is a humorous advertisement to stage the olympic summer games in sala northern finland . 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 happen so that 1st comes the below 0 degrees on the rivers and creeks they freeze and then we get the snow on top but now this reenter the large 3 interweave got like 2030 centimeters of snow on the frozen land. every morning tea. motu house still checks his most valuable reindeer the ones that pull a sleigh tourists who come to sala love the sleigh rides so the attraction is a good earner. salo 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 hakon 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 was that it was too hot 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 2 cups of the university of helsinki has a research station near sala your choice 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 would transfer 2 to 33 to 4 increase. in the in the arctic areas so in this 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 ad it attracted a lot of interest on line people discuss about it.

i'm quite sure that this discussion goes on. then people who we want also the people. share what they have done. while tourist guide t.-mo to how worries about the effects of climate change in the future reindeer herders nina 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. in reenter time when there is snow and sand comes raining water and then comes freezing time so they are right on the snow and the rain they can't have any fault under their eyes without the expensive store bought father the reindeer would go hungry and need

a much would have to move her family and livestock somewhere else or give a pretty reindeer everyone in the chilly little town of sol in northern finland hopes there is a future for them here. but without the summer olympics. one of the biggest impacts we are having as humans is through our 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 all cool minds well some enthusiastic environmentalists are already providing us with an answer let's take a look. well one step closer to extinction opencast mines in germany the 7 machines here in the east will stop extract ing brown coal in 2023 for decades the digging indian child and 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 collects grew up in a village that was destroyed to make way for the shuttles. losing her home and seeing mentor 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. as a boat in this i could cry when i'm here it just warms my heart because it is so beautiful 90 percent of the vegetation here on the red list of threatened species with the spirit of a ship

a safe haven for the wild and read the green heart was the 1st thought in the open mind to be restored in 2009 it's a team effort between the local coal company and clients with the know how about wild plants ecologists from all over the world visit to learn about this project. city 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 hugely 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 killer for her business close to the open mind she and her team grow wild and raff laois for regional and conservation projects and it's also here on the company's farm where they're pretty use the sea 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 by the end of the year contracts and a group will have sold tons of the valuable goods the business that one started with 2 employees in 2011 today keeps 25 scientists and workers busy conservation will now requires that only regional seeds are used in such restoration projects and kansas company is one of the 1st to offer these must also making expert analysis rescue threatened plants more relocating ons so nothing gets lost its clients that being an 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. and that's also why christina katz wants to go further. asked the baron lands around the open mind nearby of getting greener and the business is growing she's offering her knowledge abroad where there are still many open minds in spaces that could be revived with threatened regional plants. reduce reuse recycle meter has been using this framework to heal itself long before we humans came up with a sketchy slogan whether we get with the plan and walk reporter or resisted and work against nature is a toy so one of us has to make our 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.
