ah, whatever it takes to mind, policemen, i don't know, we are your is actually on fire made for mines. ah ah, nature is ingenious. them all the lawn from it, the movie on the stand that solutions for many of our problems are already available in nature. we see sustainable and effective energy production in photosynthesis was a fully functional circular economies in forest ecosystems. on to be sure, let's look at more examples of how we can learn from nature. hello,

welcome to eco india. i'm sorry that i could. our false lesson to live starts in the eastern state of the hot would many 52 percent of the population living below the poverty line. it was declared 2020 once forest state from india. a majority of the people who are at engage in agriculture and as severely affected by the change in climate. an organization in the region is helping up skills school children to start sustainable businesses shooting to targets with one adult bully ma kemati hasn't been working in her own shop for very long. she only left high school 3 months ago. now she wanted to shop to up cycle bags out of used material. franny couple corporate america used to burn or towards creating smoke and polluting the environment. that when i talk,

let's use the old clothes and make bags and sell them in the market so that they could be used to do. but i still got sick in law. the 18 year old learned about becoming an entrepreneur to a special high school program called going to school, going to it's going to be, i took a 10 day course and day living. oh, going to school for free. i will come, we have a lot of financial and other problems here, which is why i taught off further study. but i'm about me. so let's talk like hard vocational high school is located in india, as cation gun to dejan in the northeastern. they don't be hard. one of the poor asked regions in india, i hear the going to school training program for the students of grade 9 to 12 tackles the issue of retention, especially in the case of girls going to school is a non profit organization. bees in delhi that has partner with schools in for indian state. in be hard alone. there are more than 1000 government,

secondary schools, through graphic novels and reduce the students learn more about climate change sustainability or female education. they also learn how to start their own sustainable businesses. this for example, is a story of jody duty wants to learn beekeeping in order to prevent b debt. i'm working for the students, jo mazda from one of our wolf, rob allegra lud sectors of graphic novels are divided into different sections. just the 1st is distola. ford on the 2nd is of good affair. that if there are business blood business, these are dogs on different days, but you're a leg reluctant them delivered. oh wow. the program which is mainly finance from donations is urgently needed. there is high unemployment in the kitchen, gun to region, and the illiteracy rate is 45 percent. one of the highest in the country

education is challenging in these regions due to the factors like poverty and early marriage in the case of girls. more than 42 percent of children each day and above, don't end up completing even 6 years of schooling. learning how to take responsibility for the environment. who the going to school program, children and teenagers find more deletion to stay in school longer to outlook for new jobs, where the old ones have gone away. drama india, this region is dependent on found griffin due to climate change. a lot of upheaval has taken place on the yacht. people are facing a lot of problems as a result of poor harvest. this in the regional w, a focus on like i'm not particularly or dea asked part of the curriculum. students are encouraged to follow businesses close lead by interning with the local entrepreneurs that have partner with going to school entrepreneurs going beekeeping

or organic farming out of popular choice with students here in the philadelphia. it's me a good one. i think by that is the middle one. mm hm. what's the? yeah, to william was medicine and blanket. i spoke to the children about medicinal plants for the government is giving subsidies over about 70 percent on medicine, blood pressure medicine. if he plant them on our farms, there will be lots of customers and then it will. what we need are people who will blanket medicine of land, give him back a more digitally high school for thought disciplines. learn that one can eliminate gallstones by eating the leaves of duck, but her chaplain, forgetful nursery. we have learned about organic nurseries by them. we have learned about be camping and about the different varieties of bees, and we learn how to make honey men. she had managed as a bear, he said, seeker among submitted, if we can connect with what we are teaching in school with business and profitably, then children are going to be more interested in doing those things school. isn't there a benefit in that if hi, dana, there is courtney my,

the leading example of what this program could achieve among the young people of cushion gant. she also gets a lot of respect from her father because alongside running her own business poorly mile to help him in the field together, the not only help feed their family of 9, but also more to read others to follow a similar part. galka no letter keel. go come here. people don't. one goes to work and become independent. but in today's dines, there should be no difference between a girl and boy. lot of our letter x amount and they are the same and the girls have every right to live and right. my father and my brother are very happy that i have started this business, made up with id. and now even my younger siblings want to start their business and become independent. got a lot up and that's at the head for my commodities up cycling business brings in

$5000.00 rubies every month, which is a substantial amount in rural behind it clinic earning or living with protecting the environment now like we just saw, if children are taught early work in think we'd be environment, everyone around them, benefits for years to come. we humans, a part of the environment we destroy, which is why are extracted and destructive practices need workable, sustainable alternatives. studying fund guy found abundantly in nature may lead us to some months worth move there. among the most remarkable organisms on earth, yet mostly invisible, their web expands and connects the dots of our entire ecosystem and their essential for the cycle of life. fungi and the phone guy kinda a decisive, really revolution of light ice knocked us in the previous time. but even in current

time, they degrade almost everything, sponge up some of the most hazardous pollutants and can even create entirely new materials. they're strange and magic and ways you would never imagine. so could they potentially help to clean up the mess on our planet and become the building blocks of our future? fungi are among the few organisms on the planet that can significantly break down lignin. a component in would cells, but also present in fruits and any kind of tree or plant that decays after dying. fungi are essential to keeping our soils healthy. and scientists are just beginning to explore their amazing capabilities. ah, so a phone guy can held in the decomposition of a li, giving thing which is more complex done in the organic compo, then these same set of gods ems can also help to breaking down in the old got

it for the dance environment. some 44000 oil fields, world wide, illegal extraction and leaks in refineries and oil pipelines have led to an estimated 5000000 oil contaminated sites worldwide. fuels and crude oil contain a wide range of pollutants among them. poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or p h is one of the most worrying pollutants of our time. they kill flora and fauna damage organs and can cause cancer and humans and animals. back in 1998 scientists had already found that mushrooms do grow on heavily oil contaminated soils. in this case, oyster mushrooms. after 8 weeks, the total amount of contaminants in the soil plummeted by 99 percent with p h is also broken down into less toxic substances. but just how do fun guy function?

well, since organic pollutants like fuel oils originate from dead organic matter, fungi degrade them with the same enzyme. they degrade wood and leaves. with contaminants are chopped into smaller compounds which are less harmful or not dangerous at all. so they can become part of the nutrients cycle. again, some are degraded to c o 2 or water and going back to our organisms which laterally before on the rule of the gradation. and using them to degrade and wiped out and potentially environment that very promising rich. but it doesn't end with organic matter. fun guy can also treat soils contaminated with arsenic lead in mercury from mining operations. samples taken close to a russian industrial site showed that fund i accumulated up to 40 times more nickel

and copper than the soil they were growing in. so we might already be holding the solutions for heavily polluted soil in our hands. but as promising and some experiments are many also fail, that means i have 10 different and experimental setups and it went well in several and it didn't go well and 3 or the other way around. so what should i do? i cannot put that as a basis off putting into action real remediation scheme as an authority. treating soils with bonsai is feasible in rather small areas. it's cheaper and more eco friendly than conventional methods for removing and burning it. it's not an easy method though, especially in entire forests or mining regions. of course, fungi can also decompose any organic waste from agriculture and the food industry.

so what about using their power to degrade organic matter to build the blocks of our future? like building a home made of mushrooms? no, we're not talking about moldy walls and sellers, and not about living like the smurfs do in the t. v series either. well, maybe it might sound strange, but in 2014 architectural team, the living built is 12 meter high tower in new york city, but not with stone, bricks or concrete. yes, you guessed it. they used 10000 bricks made of my celia. they're very inexpensive. to produce ah, they can be kind of grown and, and fabricated in all almost any conditions. i'm so they don't need specialized equipment. and then when you actually put these bricks out into the world, they're very strong, especially for their weight. but there are lightweight bricks. the production of

materials like concrete and steel for construction, are responsible for roughly 10 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. on the other hand, crop residues all around the world are often burned in delhi. for example, this contribute significantly to the cities air pollution in the winter. this is the alternative for the tower. prop residues from corn fields were seated with a fungus which feeds blue, placed in a mould, the fungus, my ceiling, am colonizers and entirely within a week. eating up all the agricultural waste, it dries into a solid brick form, creating a new low carbon building material. oop, the material is fire resistant and has excellent insulation properties, so it can hold its own against concrete. the same holds for polystyrene and plastic . plus it's biodegradable, the brick simply wrought when the house is pulled down. i can imagine

scenarios where people all over the world ah, sometimes in the resource constrained environments are growing their own bricks and it's totally viable. the bricks aren't as firm as concrete. however, by combining the my ceiling am with other decompose the materials like bamboo and designing a framework to distribute stress evenly. scientist from the university of cosmo showed that concrete advantage can be mitigated. mm. one of its biggest challenge is, is ah, durability. because this is a material where it gets damaged or caught, it has the potential to absorb moisture. that means to make it a realistic approach for housing. future homes would need different layers using

our mushroom bricks as the core of a wall. but protecting them from moisture damage from the outside. mm. one way or another fungi will play a decisive role. they're essential to the health of our planet. we just me to make use of their secret powers. ah. now some of these fungi can be deadly, and hopefully and like it, you might see that need has many harmful things that threaten our very existence. yet li, antidotal is often available in nature itself. none of us is a stranger to the corona virus. at this point in time, it's variance law have existed among us for a very long time, while looking for an anti dude sign to some tree lip turned to the humble alpaca. let's see why. at 1st glance this south american alpaca looks like an ordinary animal. but to scientists think it could help us fight the corona virus

pandemic with a hood of 19 alpaca as a living on the campus of austell university in val diva southern chile biochemist. alejandro hall house is conducting research, working with the l pack. has it been this mail alpaca is called buddha. yes, he's developed neutralizing antibodies against a number of coping. 19 barons including oma chronometer the scientists 1st vaccinated the alpaca with surfaced proteins from the cove at 19 virus. then they took a blood sample and found nano bodies that can neutralize cells, cove to viruses. nano bodies are much smaller than normal antibodies.

their structure is also less complex and they're quite easy to reproduce using yeast cultures. for example, nano bodies are only produced by tamar leds, so our packers, lammas, camels and drama, dairies, and by sharks. even before the pandemic began ross and his team founded and publicized an initiative aimed at combating emerging viruses. but they didn't have any animals to work with me until an unexpected visitor turned up. electro mucus in 2019 a buddhist monk who wants to help us came to visit to fiona to florida. he gave us for alpaca. skinner? good kim, her. one of them was buddha, then we had a deal go over latera and pedro, who were yahoo? no, the legal, they haven't just produced antibodies to fight sars. go to like buddha. oh, what against other viruses to like me, po virus and hendrick virus. me pedro lawyer, for example, yogurt interpreter. the research doesn't harm the our pack has once

a year there vaccinated by vets who then take a small sample of blood in val d via in southern chile, at austell university's laboratory for medical biotechnology rojas and his team have patented, 13 nano bodies that directly target sauce cove to viruses. now they want to use the l pack as nano bodies to develop a drug to treat coven 19 for grow. remember, that will know this involves mixing the l pack on nano bodies with a fragment of a human antibody, so that it is accepted by the human immune system. the drug could be inhaled or administered in the form of a nasal spray or injection and helped to prevent severe or fatal cases of coven 19

. but the scientists need financial support to develop the drug. and so far, the chilean government hasn't offered funding. not solid kinekomoka, mcafee. it's not just about developing an antiviral therapy, legal research, covey tools to look at am, dean, milky or a book. but also showing that here in a remote place like southern chile, we're capable of developing a technology that can help bring a global pandemic under control and re more that go more institute at the university campus. the al packers have their own enclosure covering more than 3 hectares of land where they're free to roam, sleep and feed. buddha is quite the star on social media. he has nearly 17000 followers on instagram alone. little bugger. some of your pictures provide an alternative solution to monoclonal

antibodies that is much cheaper monica in the coming years will probably seen many products developed in the immune systems of these animal wonderful animals. with the necessary funding, the al packers may be able to help us both in this pandemic and in future was to everything we eat comes from nature. but if the onto zip, finishing as much as we had extracting, that's when the trouble begins. people around the globe depend on fish for both food and livelihood. but over fishing is a growing problem. a biologist in san milan is teaching people to bring back the balance between human beings and marine life. let's see how it is the normal morning hustle and bustle and girl mish with domino's state. wouldn't the fisherman from the surrounding villages have come to sell the couch from last night into

pacific king mackerel, seabreeze and shrimp on all the snapped off fast the customers a housewife and wholesale? it's a lucrative business that miss soon disappear. liberty was what those on board yonder marina, what we used to take from the scene 10 years, you know, we now catch in just toys. a fish aren't able to be produced themselves. some on the in, on gallons will even as a child, the 28 year old went out to sea with his father every morning. today he owns his own boat, but the future is uncertain because the coast lines have been nearly fish to owed. and fishermen have to go further and further out to sea biologists will v singular values providing some support. she works for the saw me not and research foundation, a non governmental organization that is mentally finance public funds. meanwhile,

that may have to prioritize and preserve the health of the medina go system, take yet of the benefit of the fisherman and also in the battery in my dig all steps. dick, why do you the condition of the whole body? nicholas estimate of the property, a huge problem is the immense bi catch of the trawlers. these are big fishing bows . even devonne has won the narrow mesh of the nets, catch many fish, particularly those that are too small, and the consequences are already being felt. for bunger, i think one of the, i'm not getting to see that guy, no fish, that our ancestors knew them. we just know the names of those facia, but we never see them boggling one solution is a new type of met with a squared mesh. the material is more flexible, so the bi catch kind of skip that also makes the cargo lighter rural. but there are gonna be one regular unknown to put them on stations. one of the major benefit of using the squire mash neck fishing method is back. let us know by

catch and with less, god, good, the decent gospel is also to do other good. been generated on david on the dot net . okay. i since let is not too much, mike, catch by the time. dig into separate the fish from the net bill, also a blue sign, but the more they are you though, when you see i'm a bit of dog and i think amanda calivero a new model that means less diesel consumption and also less environmental pollution to help familiarize the fisherman, with the new nets singer over lou goes out to see she has only drain around $23000.00 fission. divan is one of them. upper. i work on that and we, she had it going in the man was looking for because it will preserve money, biodiversity, and also increase his income not going to go into that by income, co increase his sketch. he started experimenting with different methods and technology, and i mean, one of the bother got going to run out. so it was easy for us to take it forward and help him switch over to sustainable fishing methods with thunder than allah. i

live in the u. c. r wondered about it because i live just changing the wavy fish is not enough for the fish population to recover so well. read the singer, our values also submerging huge concrete blocks just off the coast that fish can use, like an artificial reef with homeland. she also helped build a better facilities around 50 women working fish processing operations like this one. previously, the fish were dried in the open air and soul on the side of the room. now the work is better organ. the women process up to 2 tons of fish per month during the high season with the support of the organisation standard for hygiene and health can be maintained and the fish can be profitably, so to supermarkets and wholesalers want to thought in viper, we have introduced a lot of alternative livelihood options to fishermen, which have helped them a lot,

especially the official room and sustainable sustainable fisheries should not be seen as just having one single intervention or comedy other. it's a collective of all these things which then protects the marine ecosystems effectively. linda do it on the vaughn often reminisces above the wide variety of fish. his father used to catch. he hopes sufficient stalks around the coast consume recover. it's the only way the sea will be able to sustain as jim, i'm crunching later on. now when we learn, we understand we can be group major offices, many learning opportunities, it's up to us to stand back, observe and apply them to our lives. i'll leave you with that port and see you again next week from what was in india and germany. good bye, and thanks for watching. ah,
