to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning facts like global ideas. we will show you how climate change ended mental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge of gross through sharing, download it now for 3, a. me in the news. crees relied essential services. she food habitat and it also the lungs of the absorbing climate change inducing carbon dioxide which such an important drawing you. we take more care of them. but the,
10:31 am
disappearing at an alarming rate that up people however, we're taking care of them and saving them will need them to be a tree guardians, from india and europe on this week's eco india. hello welcome. i'm son that i'm let's start with counting trees. what government would call a tree sense of city of policies around the world have a plan in place to get this stuff in germany's capital berlin, for example. we know that there are more than 400000 trees lining the streets. but in delhi, the numbers not for clear. and because of this, it's not uncommon for trees to simply disappear. the don't to protect the cities trees, active, a thought taking pings into their own hands. we met some of them for this report, fin before the call, the 1900 situation wilson did the city the free at last. the roots of these urban trees in dead had long been buried in concrete. but no
10:32 am
city authorities busting the route out of letters. fresh topsoil replaced the cement on average, bud morality, do ready has to fight with the authorities for 2 years under the agree can be saved in this way. she loves the box of dandy. she is known as a tree guardian, when he chokes the trees with cement, the roots on top get burnt in the heat. you know, i, most of the roots are on the top one meter. so i guess it does take a huge toll on trees when you chose them because they're not. the roots are not edited . they get burn time of the heat. they cannot in the micro organisms, cannot exist in that soil and they don't get any water. the reasoning is skeptical, are not doing with in the past 20 years is that half of urban forest area has been lost to new buildings. the billing pin,
10:33 am
it's easy to get from the authorities despite drilled, that said, cutting down trees should be avoided whenever possible. the trees also make convenient supports for illegal electricity and internet gibbons, strangled, decrease, and stop them from growing people have lost, connected with the wild trees which they are titled them inferior. you know, that inferior. ringback looking down upon the local part, alarms, the jung 40, so they call a young body and that's because we no longer depend on them for sex, for our needs. you know, there's a huge disconnect and the distance between them and because all of these are being made by products that come on, the shares in greece are important to cities for the resident. they are a natural air filter. they also provide habit dance for countless microorganisms. small animals and bird, ah,
10:34 am
to preserve the greenery, really has been organizing creek comes but anyway. she involves the residence of several district. but she also works with a number of colleges and schools where i wish to train, i hadn't call any place i tell them for us to take a rough data on the number of trees, and then they are supposed to do what she walk so that you get the buying of the people stakeholders. then we asked him to start a walk subgroup and with a date saying that this is a day when we are going to start tree sensors. i do the 1st workshop, so that includes the number of the cheese and taking the circumstance a good to hide the condition of the ground. what is happening on the tree, you know, the flogging because that's the appreciation ready? also organize tree walk in the city park to help nature love the discover. indigenous blogs like property barn and dove. the book meant inspired people to
10:35 am
keep an eye out for the crease around the homes and residential areas. i like the feeling that the trees around us are actually out in it as for all the human race and they deserve more respect than we can if on a station is a very, very important competent us our future. if you want to survive as a race, valerie, she learned the methods that he's going to be a pre guardian from do ready. today's ukraine's a students and young people in her nebo and organized cree counter, says they have to work foss, despite the rules. they're called for the most crease in delhi to be planted. there is little evidence that this actually happens in reality sheet, and that was why they discarded all night on the move on from the men who were laid out. so there is no evidence that
10:36 am
the 3 exist. so even if i wanted to go to the authorities, i had no evidence. the only way to, you know, stop it was by building a database of trees. and once we have a database, once we have the trees number ones, we have some photographs. you know, it's something in legal has happened. we can approach fear, thought it these, but more, more than died we can proactively prevented city officials designed with a grease can be cut down to make space for new buildings between 20152080. not a single telling application was rejected. more than 17000 trees were cut down in this way. it seems like a raise with the authority. valerie she and her colleagues in delhi of recorded number 5 has increase. the number of interested city to engines is growing among them is ok, so he's a system analyst at the university and has been involved. some city trees have
10:37 am
become part of his life. so next planning that the census near y, locally the will select the particular location for the reasons along with weekly plantation. and i think the reduced spending to damage the duty of her door all ready repeatedly points out the importance of native trees. there are increasingly being displaced by invasive species like kelley under the coil palm. but these non native species are more susceptible, depressed than the look. indigenous 1 may have a role over millions of years. ok, so they have their own intelligence and their form, their own web of community. it's like a webinar end of into relationships with other flora and fauna. so the ecological services that they offered are not, it's just we have scratch the surface and studying the in fact,
10:38 am
so far do ready and her team have planted around 2000 native prison day. more than 1500 trees have been freed from their concrete domes, when their work is far from me, just outside the city of confidence in western spin, europe 2nd biggest lithium deposit is bedded mining. this valuable resource would give the entire continent the ability to power. it's all cars and other electronic devices, giving it independence from big manufacturers, an issue and south america. there's just one big problem. the, the deposit tracking the city's neighboring forest. time to change pastures for the rad lab. marino sheep, livestock rotation keeps the soil healthy and bite of those that he rich gone sallow palomo has revive this farm land, just outside catheters in the south,
10:39 am
west of spain. they produce organic olive oil, meat and fabrics. this farm has the potential to be a farm of the 21st century. the way the european union was farming to be done in the future. a little bit. to get with partners, he invested at least 60000 euros in this sustainable farm. but plans to open a lithium mind right here, a casting a cloud over the future of the venture. all of growth we're standing in is located where they would store the waste of the mind, but it's incompatible, right? not only during the time of extraction but forever, this would completely disappear. somebody one of your up to date is 2 lithium deposits has been found here in this year at moscow for natural area, just a stone's throw away from. catherine is historic city center unesco world heritage . and now placed great tensions citizens are protesting
10:40 am
against the planned open cast mind. the who seen a bit is, is part of the big initiative that organizes the protest. no must follow the worst thing is that they will destroy a green space, which is the lung of cancer. it because it is very close to the city. in reality, there are people who say it's 1.5 kilometers away from the center, but the water purification plant starts only 300 meters away. it's here and this is where they want to make the whole bar. barrick houses are not far and it's very close to the population the citizens are worried that the extraction of lithium could contaminate the air and the ground water. the mainly australian own mining company presents a more futuristic approach in their corporate video and mining lithium in europe is
10:41 am
also a key part of the use strategy to make batteries for electric cost that move away from fossil fuels and to push for independence from resources overseas for the company, open cost mind there's a big opportunity here. in the end, it's a necessary transition to adapt to the plans of c o. 2 reduction, all the car manufacturers are opting for electric vehicles with lithium batteries or any kind of a deal. with this video, it's been a mining explain their project. they want to extract yearly $15000.00 tons of lithium hydrate teen, in a sustainable way waste water would be used for the mining necessary explosions to extract would have been only a few times a week and woodland could be restored. they say the lithium
10:42 am
deposits cannot be moved to hear this, but what's important is the industrial development that comes with this is not about interacting, lithium, bring me elsewhere to process it. we are building an industry and you produce lithium hydroxide. and right now that industry doesn't even exist in your little independent production. could put spain and poll position in the lithium battery business spots. the company is also promising. 1000 jobs, 218 of them directly at the mine. even if unemployment is high in the region in cost, that is most people don't buy this promise. here there are no specialists. you know how to run the machines, the laurie's or the explosives. there are also no specialists and chemistry who all work. in reality, the people who are unemployed now will not work there. the workforce will come from the outside. from any locals,
10:43 am
the wealth and project premises is not tangible. manolo sanchez was up at 400 euros when he caught work. as of the mining company chopping down trees on his s date without permission, they wanted rock samples blevins. and if i simply ask them to leave, i could easily have reported to l. sanchez. his house would be next to the processing plant. he grew up here. nobody told him about the money plans. he feels threatened me off it up, but this affects me because maybe they'll evict me. my mom go kick me out in the easy way or the hard way. me lung the cells. yeah. if you don't want to leave gutted, who knows, maybe they'll use the police force to kick me out man that way and then the machines come and demolish my house. i'm not going to see him at the that i'm just also my new sanchez worries about environmental and health risks. mining experts
10:44 am
say just emissions are risks for the ground. water could be further reduced if the mind was planned completely on the ground. that is not the case at the moment, but they see extracting lithium in europe as a huge chance because we cannot say we want to do something for the environment and the climate. keeping everything here in europe clean and then leave behind the lunar landscape somewhere in chile, for example. it's neither fair nor honest. it's got nothing to do with environmental protection or global responsibility of all here in europe, there are enough experts. we can develop new message of mining intelligent ways to process these resources in a way that they don't contaminate the environment for. and these are also technologies that we can export to indian ex, procurement and opportunity. but one which catherine years don't want to exploit the doorstep industry that you can, tammy,
10:45 am
the water reserve or the atmosphere that makes noise. that would destroy our heritage, this landscape in the globe by the money or by stuff. it's just not compatible with our lives. more recently, the regional government rejected the permission to extract hair, but extremely mining is ready to challenge this decision in court if needed, consult palomo and the other catherine years are worry of getting into a legal battle. deforestation is a bit of reality into the world, especially when it comes to making space for agriculture in india, as western model tra, region, a local organization has flipped the scenario that incentivizing farmers to plant trees and contribute to the local forest cover. let's see why these women are planting saplings of native trees in western hud austria. it's not
10:46 am
just a reforestation project. they're planting trees on farmland, which otherwise stays barren. the idea of don't abandoned land into forest scheme from the organizations farmers for forests. if you really think about forests i, pink, you know, they're not just sort of you know, carbon storage follow houses, right? they provide the range of ecosystem benefits. you know, everything from being carbon sequestered to, you know, providing ground water to charge, you know, so in conservation, you know, habitat for bio diversity, are markets or our systems don't put a financial value yet on such you know, the, the services that these ecological systems provide that's the market failure. that payment for ecosystem strikes to correct for most of the forest is approaching small scale farmers leg ganesh. tale he leased out to
10:47 am
a cause of his unused land in 2022 the organization. they went on to plant $8000.00 sapling, setting the groundwork for growing a driving carbon sequestering forest as the owner of the land hopefully will now be paid yearly cash transfers of just over a 100 euros for the next 5 years by farmers for forest, for ecosystem services the trees will soon provide gun is heavily mainly runs a small garage business. the 23 year old belongs to a family of land holding farmers in western russia. but agriculture alone, he says, has become financially and viable to support his family of 6. and it was imperative that he find a means of livelihood should be the many, many, many people have great farmers when they have become industrial labors and some have started their own business is fabulous because farming is not the same anymore

. which is why i started my workshop again. stephanie and farmers know, seeking a daily rains, have become very erratic in the last year if this continues from in the region will disappear when you pull the bay in a this is kanisha land, graham. oh, graham controlled land. farmer, so far as has been piloting the payment for ecosystem services. b. e. s. approach with 2 objectives in mind. to protect existing forests and grow new forrest and degraded land through g p. s. tags and satellite images. the team closely monitored the health of each tree after planting. the project also supports women, farmers and labourers. today they're working on this 3.5 acre plot of land belonging to ram, the shindig. she currently works part

10:50 am
sherman's are not the only creatures on earth who crackling the existence of trees, animals talk and do some damage. we know that forest and wildlife work in a delicate balance. how then can be controlled that damage without causing an imbalance, thought of strangers in germany already on their way to figure this out. sandra schmidt is delighted to finally be back in the forest and hunting. she goes hunting license 7 years ago. it's made her appreciate nature, all the more eager out punches the recognizes conservationists in germany. these days the training involved in guessing a license includes a much bigger focus on ecology and nature conservation. and there's a lot more information on plants and trades heads in sex. catch appeal isn't very, stan phoebe and sick. you know,
10:51 am
you think it's only going to be about hunting game. that's not the case. didn't yaki boot over hunting is strictly regulated in germany and requires a license wrong guessing their license means undergoing training for several months and passing exams. in recent years, the number of women applying has grey sandra schmidt goes hunting, just outside berlin, mainly on land managed by forest. among the re only works with hunters who are interested in protecting the forest. rather than collecting trophies. they only get to hunt twice a year in the spring and in the autumn when the animals are particularly active and they only hunt certain species. young my waterloo, and we hunt red and fellow different age group one. and so that's last year's funds, and i wish you all happy hunting and rich picking wild 4 and deer in particular,
10:52 am
love fresh, oops. they do a lot of damage to young trees. so the forest ends up with no new trees and the bushes that best mark illinois shows us some examples. he's even fence stuff, one area completely. animals have done a lot of damage to the saplings here, where a number of years. nobody that is in red light. you can see this rowan tree has had its head branch broken off and eaten by a red deer. i heard this is an oak. it must be at least 15, maybe 20 years old, but you see it's new shoots have been nibbled off by wild animals every year. as. but fencing of areas is expensive and further restricts the animals in them movements. germany is relatively rich in forest, about 30 percent of the country is covered with trees compared to just 12 percent in india. but the forests intersected by roads and fields so that the areas of
10:53 am
uninterrupted forest are relatively small. animals congregate in those areas. red deer and wild boar have few natural predators like wolves, which are fairly rare here. obviously, dear can find endless amounts of food. here. the farms provide plenty of grazing opportunities during the summer months, as far as are separated by roads and fields, and in some areas, thinned out enough to provide grazing land for game that they wouldn't find in a large primeval forest course. and what it is for common village and most of the forest here is no longer primeval with a variety of tree species. after the 2nd world war evergreens were planted here on mass, but for many years now, more deciduous trees have been planted. we manage
10:54 am
6500 hector's of farmers and heavily dominated by pine trees. it was 96 percent pine. when we took over we've now replaced half of that with new young trees. are you at pine tree monoculture causes the soil to dry out and become acidic. the trees are more vulnerable to pests. a mixed forest in shows the more human in the soil. the trees can better withstand insects and heat an important benefit in times of climate change. in the spring, many juvenile animals around in the forest mark a huge raised d, a stand when hunting to ensure he only hits his intended target. his main aim is to protect his young, deciduous trees. woman to be view devices, head in the island. where do we have more biodiversity in pine forest where the ground is covered with grass and deer can grace. but there are no butterflies because there are no flowers viewed item,
10:55 am
not to do we have greater biodiversity in a far as that's more like a natural forest, with many different types of trees. shrubs in plants, of whole, different range of species. i'm happy to do that, so it's likely to be another 40 years before that kind of biodiversity can be restored here. but that's the long term goal that the hunters have set their sights on until one day hunting will no longer be needed. without trees, we don't really have a chance at some bible. let's begin to accept this fact. now, let's collectively urge policy makers to pig better care of factories. if you're already doing your bit to protect trees in your neighborhood, let us know at equal india a d, w dot com. i'll see you again next week with many more inspiring stories until then
