finally, become the person who is always wanting to be. i have only spur badly. oh, in that re credit, that will go through with it. i was born in stuart's march 30th on d, w. mm hm. ah, nature is ingenious. the more they learn from it, the more we understand that solutions from menu of problems are already available in nature. we see sustainable and effective energy production in photosynthesis was a fully functional circular economies in forest ecosystems. to be as sure, let's look at more examples of how we can learn from nature. hello,

welcome to eco india. i'm sorry that i took a false lesson to me. it starts in the eastern state of the hot with only 52 percent of the population living below the poverty line. it was declared 2021 forest, dayton, india. a majority of the people who are out of gauge in agriculture and as severely affected by the changing climate. an organization in the region is helping up skill school children to start sustainable businesses shooting to targets with one adult who lima commodity 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 use material, ranika who used to learn all the creating smoke and polluting the environment. that's meant i thought,

let's use the old clothes and make bags and sell them in the market so that they could be used to do what i still want to take a little. 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 get and it goes in day living. oh, going to 40 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 region in the northeastern state of be hard. one of the poorest regions in india here, the going to school was 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 nonprofit organization based in delhi that has partner with schools in for indian state in behind a loan. there are more than 1000 government, secondary schools,

to graphic novels in videos. 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 the story of job duty wants to learn beekeeping in order to prevent b. i'm wondering for the students in germany, i was, i love, i love the graphic novel divided into different sections. just the 1st is to store here for the 2nd is a good, i'm say them is there are business splunk business. these are thought on different days. are you a leg reluctant them delivered our 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 quality and early marriage in the keys 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. johanna india, this region is dependent on founded chrissy been 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 harvard smith and the regional w focus on like i'm not particularly or dea asked part of the curriculum. students are encouraged to follow businesses, gloria, lead by and dawning with the local entrepreneurs that have partner with going to school entrepreneurs going beekeeping organic, farming,

out of popular choice with students here it's runs on the philadelphia whether it's me, i got one of them, but my thought is the mid, i want to make them post a yard or whatever. with medicine and blanket i spoke to that you learned about medicine and plant. so i got a government is giving subsidies over about 70 percent on medicine, blood pressure medicine. if he plan demo a pharmacy, there will be lots of customers even they will. what we need are people who will blanket medicine or blanket. what im rebecca more digitally here is school for thought disciplines learned that one can eliminate gallstones by eating the leaves of duck. but her chatter plan for no city. we have learned about organic nurseries and we have learned about being and about the different varieties of bees. and we learn how to make honey month should have been i know you submitted that if we can connect to what we are teaching and with business and profit, then children will be more interested in doing things school in the benefit in that the her, that there is my the leading example of what this program could achieve among the

young people off cation guns. she also gets a lot of respect from her father because alongside running her own business for him also helped him in the fields together, the not only help feed their family of 9, but also motivate others to follow us. similar, bob got no letter, keel will come here. people don't. one goes to work and become independent. but in today's times, there should be no difference with linda boy, lot of our letter x amount and they are the same. and the girls have every right to live and voice. 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 of cycling business brings in 5000 rubies every month, which is a substantial amount in room behind it connect,

earning or living with protecting the environment. now like we just saw, if children are taught early to work in, think we'd be environment every one 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 alternative studying fund guy found abundantly in nature, may lead us to some months of 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 had it decisive really new revolution of light. i just knocked out 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 there. 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 ligman a component and would cells. but also present in fruits in any kind of tree or plant and decays after dying. ah, fungi are essential to keeping our soils healthy. and scientists are just beginning to explore their amazing capabilities. ah, to a phone guy gun held in the decomposition of a li, giving thing which is more complex, done any organic compo then these same st of

a goners ems can also help to breaking down in the old gothic 40 dance idioms. arabic. 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's. one of the most worrying pollutants bar time. they kill flora and fauna damage organs. it can cause cancer in humans and animals. back in 1998 scientists had already found that mushrooms do grow on heavily oil contaminated soils. in this case, poyser 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 debt 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 organisms which laterally before on the rule of the gradation. and using them to degrade and wipe out and potentially environment a very promising route. 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 as some experiments are many also failed. that means i have 10 different thumb experimental setups and it will end well in several. and it didn't go well and 3 on the, on the way around. so what should i do? i cannot put that as a face is off putting into action real remediation scheme. as an authority. treating soils with fungi 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 this 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 placed in a mold, the fungus, my cyliam colonizers, it entirely within a week, eating up all the agricultural waste. it dries into a solid brick form, creating a new low carbon building material. ooh, 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 rot 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 them, 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 challenges 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. one way or another, fungi will play a decisive role there essential to the health of our planet. we just need 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 ping that 2nd of very existence. yet the antidote still is often available in nature itself. none was a stranger to the corona lives at this point in time. it's very little, have existed among us for a very long time while looking for an antidote scientist and truly 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 herd of 19 our packers are living on the campus of austell university in val, diva southern chile biochemist, and a hand drago has 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 cobra. 19 barons including oma chronicle. the scientists 1st vaccinated the alpaca with surface proteins from the cove at 19 virus. then they took a blood sample and found nano bodies that can neutralize south 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 package lamas camels and drama, to raise and by shocks. even before the pandemic began rojas 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 ill annual mucus. in 29 team, a buddhist monk who wants to help us came to visit to fiona to florida. he gave us for our packers from kim he. one of them was buddha. then we have, do you go below tara and pedro? who were you were not legal, they haven't just produced antibodies to fight sars covey to like buddha, against other viruses. to like nip a virus and tender a virus. me pedro here, for example, a about a computer. 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 astro universities laboratory for medical biotechnology rojas and his team. have peyton tit 30 nano bodies that directly target saws cove to viruses? now they want to use the i'll pack as nano bodies to develop a drug to treat coven 19 for the role. 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 covey. 19,

but the scientists need financial support to develop the drug. and so far, the chilean government hasn't offered funding. muscle are going to go more, come up if you it's not just about developing an antiviral therapy, resource covey tools to look at. i'm been look up your report. we're also showing that here in a remote close like southern chile, we are capable of developing a technology that can help bring a global pandemic under control and ramada co, more institute at the university campus, the our packers have their own enclosure covering more than 3 hectares. of land where they're free to roam, sleep and feed butter is quite the star on social media. he has nearly 17000 followers on instagram alone, letterbug us. some of your pictures provide an alternative solution to monoclonal

antibodies that is much cheaper monica in the coming years will probably see many products developed in the immune systems of these animal wonderful animals with the necessary funding the l pack, as may be able to help us both in this pandemic and in future ones to everything we eat comes from nature. but if the on to rep finishing as much as we are extracting, that's where the trouble begins. people around the globe depend on fish for both food and livelihood. but over fishing is a growing problem. a biologist and some alarm 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. what is on the fishermen from the surrounding villages have come to sell the couch from last night into passive the king mattress si bring and shrimp on all the snapped off fast. the

customers are housewives and hotels. it's a lucrative business that miss soon disappear. i remembered what was, what thoughts on board yonder marina, what we used to take from the scene 10 years, you know, we now catching just toys of fish aren't able to reproduce themselves. law monday mclelland's will even as a child, the 28 year old went out to sea with his father every morning. to day he owns his own boat. but the future is uncertain because the coast lines have been nearly fish to odin. fishermen have to go further and further out to sea. biologist will vizier singular values providing some support. she works for the saw me not from research foundation, a non governmental organization that is mainly financed public funds. meanwhile, that may have to prioritize and preserve the health of the medina go system,

take care of the benefit of the fisherman, and also in the battle by dig all step stick. why do the condition of the holy muddy ecosystem of a huge problem is the immense bi catch of the trawlers? these are big fishing bows. even devonne has won the narrow mesh of them that's catch many fish, particularly those that are too small. and the consequences on already being felt. i munger, i thing when we are 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 another bargain dealer. one solution is a new type of met with a squared mesh. the material is more flexible. so the bycatch gasket that also makes the cargo lighter world that are going to be a legal or unknown to put them on station one of the major benefit of using thus quiet mesh. net fishing method is back. let us know by catch and with less, god,

good, the decent gospel is also did i do other go to the in general to have it in one david on dot net. okay. i since lead is not much my catch by the time dig into separate the fish from the net will also be blue line. but at the board of it, where, you know, when you see a little dog and i think amanda cleveland knew what that means, less diesel consumption and also less environmental pollution to help familiarize. the fisherman, with the new nets, singer value goes out to see. she has all he dreamt around 23000 fission. devonne is one of them ever. i want to go on that end of the she had it on a demand, was looking for b as to preserve marine biodiversity, and also increase his income not going to go into that by income co increase his sketch. he started experimenting the 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.

allah, the easy, i wondered about it because i'm just changing the wavy fish is not enough for the fish population to recover so well. reducing girl values also submerging huge concrete blocks just off the coast that fish can use, like an artificial reef with online. 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 through hygiene and help can be maintained and the fish can be profitably, sold to supermarkets and wholesalers. my tutorial wipe of it, we have introduced a lot of alternative livelihood options to fishermen,

which have held them alarmingly, especially the fisherman, frustrated with sustainable fisheries, should not be seen as just having one single intervention or comedy either. it's the collective of all these things, which then protects the marine ecosystems effectively. linda, do you get the van off and reminisces above the wide variety of fish. his father used to catch. he hopes the fish stalks around the coast consumed recover. it is only read this, he will be able to sustain his children and grandchildren literal. now when we learn, we understand we care and be group. nature offers as many learning opportunities. it's up to us to stand back, observe and apply them to our lives. a levy with that port and see we'll get next week from all was in india and germany. good bye. and thanks for watching ah,
