they want to kill me, and they try many times. they keep some of my sources just because they don't put me crazy with a gun. can change your life. people in need to know what is happening with guardians of truth. certainly 3rd on t w ah. ah ah, planet tribes on balance. but since the industrial revolution began and the late 18th century, humans have been encroaching upon every kind of land to build factories, offices, and homes. activity is endangering many fragile ecosystems around the world. and

slowly leading us to the state. imbalance to be on a coin dea, let's look deeper into some aspects of this problem and find out what's being done to course. correct. hello, welcome. i'm son with that, i let start on you to come island dock to read in pulley catholic off the be a from english, so now did by brackish water this ecosystem boss. so for rich biodiversity of plants, books and animals located just a 150 kilometers from the metropolis of chen, line, iroquois, i learned, used to be a popular weekend getaway. but climate change, forest pollution, and government apathy out endangering the lives of the people who live along with the ecosystem may help protect ah ah, for farmer ramo multi,

nothing is how it once was. thanks to increasingly frequent, extreme better. psych loans regularly flood has fields with salt water and then there are the extended dry periods that causes crops to fail. his hovers are further compromised by animals, now emerging out of the woods because they have nothing left to eat there. allow them to come in, do less water in the nearby forest in foxes, come into the village. but since there isn't a photo here for this deal, indeed, our crops here, i am, the law from drama muti lives on iraq. come a small island in the pulley currently in south east and india. it's the country's 2nd largest brackish lagoon after chica. the lagoon is a rich repository of biodiversity, and it is home to rare animals such as the sport built pelican and the black stalk . the lagoon provides the entire coastal region with an important buffer against

the increasingly intense psych loans that also includes the nearby regional capital janae but the islanders face, but to clearly acute difficulties due to climate change. not only the farmers out affected local fishers are also under pressure. the long dry periods have seen traditional grounds disappear. see sociologist gideon, balancing southern part of the the cutler come little who live in the southern part of iraq. i'm fisherman here. the state of thermal not when i do, you know, if it's michigan for people who are fishing, end of an automated lesson plan it along the better integrated island than me, but not today because there is no water in it. little ford, only lucky, one or 2 feet deep younger, it's become mostly for lamar with scope for fish out of the school from the community. ah, a lot of people have already left after 160 families who once lived in drama more these neighborhood just 40 are still there. a local community leader told us that

for many catching shed, fish is the only way to survive. other loaders denying low. i don't want to love winnable if we don't make enough money. how long could to stay in our home number's one, we have to take care of our children and families. we go out, i'm a little 4 or 5 in a blue metal to collect shelter. alondra one more w, it won't, it won't. but it's just shell 1st that people harvest from the battle the lagoon some time ago they started digging deeper in search of shell line storm. that's millions of years old. on some days they head out in a fleet of 50 bullets mining several dozen tons of the stone from down below a practice, but disastrous consequences for the local ecosystem. explain marine biologist model ma gauge in the mining silly it a good that when people look for the stone cell, follow the big out there and then the middle got the letter. got the left. that is because i do need to find that on the seems this and other this i'm in the water

and then becomes more and still low. and under the law says in the bottom of the prehistoric shows are sold to local factories. they use the limestone in the rock for manufacturing, everything from sugar and salt to seaman and leather product. it's an awful credit comment for local climate change is forcing them to look for other sources of income, some of which are destroying the ecosystem. and logos also play a vital role in conserving the lagoons, biodiversity, any landed, believe we learn, there will be no one to speak up for this ecosystem system. so we are looking at how people can continue to stay marketing and talking about the challenging phase and how they can diversify the right one on here. why don't you think of that? one id is soft, eco tourism visitor from tonight already a frequency,

right. even though just for a couple of hours. and the lagoon is also famed among birdwatchers around the world of john, perhaps for don't living by the lagoon and an especially welcome bon for the time after the pandemic. ah, like it'll come island. germany's fault is on the this tree. trees are dying and an alarming vit. an indian one researcher working in the country is on a mission to save its forest by making them more resilient from the impacts of climate change. the woodland equivalent of a status go here in one of the warmest areas in germany. research is, are taking the pulse of the countries forest to dia. i want to test how the, the speech tree sampling is responding to different light intensities and also to

our simulated in rich c o. 2, which very likely built will be there in the future. therefore, it is very important for us to know when this sapling is growing on the soil where there it is, it has enough water to do that level of photosynthesis. indian bon researchers summit saw her has put together a team of young scientists from various countries and disciplines. the group are called sylvania after the ancient roman god of the woodlands known and world wide summit saw her seas those woodlands under threat also from sprawling urban eyes ation and rapid population growth. including in his native india we have to make our forest covered there in india, intact bottles of the high quality forest which means highly dense forest. national forests are getting declined, but the plantations and the div limitation coffee plantation or eucalyptus

plantation, or acacia plantations rubber plantations. these are increasing and go home and sometimes also consider plantations as a forest. so you can see that sometimes they all, we have 21 percent forest in india, and that's the huge amount of compare if you look the size of india. but out of this 21 percent, there are huge amount plantations and high quality forest which can provide heavy to, to, to endangered species like tiger or other animals is actually low active deforestation to make way for farmland and timber production is one reason for the large scale loss of woodland and then there is climate change which has taken a heavy told on our force here in germany to, according to a government study, the proportion of unhealthy trees in the country has risen to 80 percent. and that

in turn makes them vulnerable to pests such as the box used. and normally barbie doll is a part of our ecosystem. they are always there. but nowadays they are kind of destroying so many trees because trees are actually weaken 1st by drought. and then when someone is already weakened then the 100 ability to disease will be increased and that's like human. at the same in the trees, germany is home to almost 12000000 hectares of woodland 2 thirds of which are used by the timber industry. spruce, pine and beach trees are grown in monterey cultures. trees that are particularly susceptible to drought conditions. the reset is a planting new saplings in an attempt to keep 3 mortality and check with moderate success. this little beat tree never got off the ground. when you know that that leaves me says is dying then however, we should bland it again. but in my opinion,

we should be very careful here because the trespass is also has a deposit d to do evolved. if you dig out completely from the system, then you can loss the species. but at the same time, you should try with the species witcher may be neal to these environment, but not invasive. native trees are being rapidly and permanently displaced by invasive species, such as this poisonous perennial plant american poke weed. so how can reset his find out which non native species can be planted in german forests without endangering them? the landscape gardens of cars who have palace feet trees from all corners of the planet. many of them over 200 years old. my recommendation is that we can try to study the exotic species which are already here for centuries, rather than you know, bringing some neutral species from anywhere in the world and planned them the american, red oak for example, has integrated perfectly in central europe. it cuts well with heat drought,

and rising concentrations of c o 2. and it's adapted to local conditions without displacing native species. here the red oak somehow get adopt it to the new condition. so any and that went to one direction that they can actually survive under shape. and there. so the red oak ears are also growing foster. in this commercial timber forest, american red x were planted among european horn beans. that competition has encouraged the us to grow quickly and relatively straight resulting and exceedingly high quality timber. it's 10.5 timber. he's actually a renewable resource and it is eco friendly resources. we should have a goal that the requirement of the timber of our region should be fulfilled by the trees which are cultivated in our region. ok. the direction as far as the

reset is hope their work will foster. a revival of germany is ailing forests. by mapping and measuring the way to greater resilience against climate change. now global warming has increased the risk and severity of droughts worldwide. the desert state of roger's town in india is no stranger to these conditions. the change in climate is having an ad was impact on local vegetation and as causing grief problems for farmers was livelihood, depend on it. to count on this, a local initiative has been distributing traditional fruit trees, c, things in the region round her son in northern india, temperatures here regularly, sore above 45 degrees celsius. and the heat waves are getting longer. a consequence

of climate change says she comes under gianni. for years the sociology professor has been alarmed by the excessive loss of water in this desert state. scarcity of water is a big concern of measured because the dont how groundwater because it is in very deft and also not good in quality. it is not usable. and as far as the end is concerned, every year, every year to see you, minimum rainfall in this area, sions under gianni, didn't want to sit back and do nothing. so in his spare time, he travels to villages to give away free saplings of ancient indigenous fruit trees . these plants can thrive in the hearts climate today or the car. oh, today he's visiting the school at band or on village. he urges the villagers to

take care of the trees so that they grow to provide shade and fruit, but stops after plantations. but generally people can see that better when we did plan vision, it's all that, but you said that no, no, i would responsibility start from that point. so i had requested them to consider that no other responsibility has in is and we have a little all siblings as a get in my middle family. but a committee with the limit these trees will give us fresh air to breathe and fruit . today. we've learned that trees need to be treated as members of our family. only then can they same our planet. little with that, i will to day binder on villagers are also being given a tree each to take home once planted their water with waste water. she em sooner gianni named his organization for meal you forestry after the idea it was founded on it all started back in 2003 when she em cylinder gianni was

a young sociology professor working at a college and because the few trees on the campus grounds were almost dead along with the students. he saved them and replaced them with saplings. from then on, the students cared for the trees. the next step came a few years ago in 2013. we started no lament mr. do snow for us, then. we started plantation over there. you can see busy this exact date of land having more than 3000 vehicles. i wouldn't want a 100 different that i did. it is most davis. i seduce them, put us in any education institute over i just on piedmont jordan. she comes under gianni piece for the seedlings out of his own pocket. he often ends up spending a large portion of his salary, while his peers focus on advancing their careers. he invests his time and energy in familial forestry. the dedication sometimes makes things hard for his wife. cove

ita she often has to look after their 2 daughters alone. my money is often tight at the end of the month. that's proved a sacrifice for his family, but it hasn't been in vain. familiar forestry has planted more than 3000000 seedlings in roger sunny villages. these efforts long went unnoticed. but in june, familiar, forestry, one, the united nations land for life award, thrusting shams under johnny's organisation into the media spotlight. recognizing efforts to prevent to certification world wide, it's bestowed by the u. n. c. c. d. i seeing many activities that your donate a tree and then somebody else takes care of the tree on your behalf. but the idea of a new year for us is i see a tree as

a member of the family year. will cultivate that careful. and the tree there for the survival rate of the trees in that region where familiar were history planchet . it's significant, significantly higher. he's hoping the award will attract donors and financial support. he sees the indigenous fruit trees as crucial to stop arid desert areas expanding and keeping villagers from malnutrition. and he points out yet another benefit. his work brings food bearing thes eclipse, biodiversity. it increases biodiversity also because these 3 is at red butterflies, small insects, while in it, earth, even boards. so by this we, we can increase and we can protect our, the bio diversity. also. she em sunday gianni has another idea that he's

trumped up for a long time planting trees among roadsides in india. sprawling cities where space is scarce, urban populations are in need of clean air and more vitamin packed fruit as well as to you. now it's not only the biodiversity on land, but biodiversity under water too, is at risk. the marine ecosystem is sensitive and can be gravely influenced by human activity. as we've already seen, in many instances around the world. on portugal schools, researchers are investigating how c grass meadows can be protected, and what advantages this has in terms of carbon dioxide storage. or conservationists see grass meadows are heroes of the ecosystem. home to many different species. they grow in shallow coastal waters and harbor,

huge benefits for life under water and on land. that's why team of scientists is studying the matters of portugal, southern algarve coast to day the team is preparing to dive down to the sea grass beds of 34 most a lagoon to collect sediment samples. for barbara corcoran. we can be made with out of koran in the federal in a time of climate crisis. carmen santos research is more crucial than ever for months to come. she and her team will be coming back to the lagoon. each trip usually spends several days the field work includes mapping the approximately 10 percent of wetland that's covered by c cross, which is one of the lagoons most valuable assets. they are very efficient carville

scenes, which means that they can sequester and the store a huge amount of carbons in their biomass. and in the say, the one behind where they roll. and these is very important because when sequestering their seal to and the carbone that he saw in there said the man, they are helping us to mitigate the climate change. scientists estimate that coastal ecosystems like c grocery store 3 times more c o 2 than forests at no cost . ready ready sherylin santos and the team from young golf sent off marine sciences. want to find out exactly how much of this blue car is stored? india formosa. they've taken about 80 sediment samples over the past 3 years. they slice up the samples and then analyze them. by

burning them, the scientists can calculate the amount of carbon they store. the team, hope that their research will convince policymakers, etc. crosses meet more protection because of the potential to absorb you tube. their insides could also help on the local level, in coastal development planning. and on the global stage, the findings could aid efforts to reach climate neutrality goals. see grass meadows world wide on the threat from the incessant traffic of boats and damage caused by angus in europe. the scene said, since it sixty's, we have lost one 3rd of the secret males that we have. one of the major threats to see grass is, is dead. the amount of 4 of bolt that we have because go it 1st the it travel very fast with create said beak waves that he,

it's the markings of channels and day it roads dead. the course of the day while the city men were there, some march and the secrets are growing. blue water pollution also threatens see growth species around the globe. stricter legislation has served to improve water quality. andrea formosa, which in turn, has helped to see grass bates to recover. and that's benefited one of the lagoons, most iconic inhabitants the see horse. their numbers have dropped by more than 90 percent in recent years. primarily due to illegal fishing and the destruction of their habitats, protect zones and artificial structures like these have been set up to help see horses need something to cling onto the

shops. panama is the driving force behind the see horse project. he's studying the relationship between the animals and see growth as well. those areas are highly productive in terms of food and as an appetite. and even if the sources don't use it directly, it was in the indirectly as it produced the food that later on. they will feed on small frames the small f people and all the food that is also provided by the ponds at the research station where george palmer works the it's feeding time for the see horses that the team breed here. palmer has been studying them since 2007. some of them will be released into the waters of re formosa. it starts hopefully it won't be a futile measure to support what's left of the current population.

all of them are considered as flagship species, which mean that are species that represent their i bit that the few what we are studying seahorses and trying to figure out what's happening with their environment is that bio diversity is decreasing. if that's going to be graded, that will affect all due by a diverse, it's all the animal that leaving that same abby, the degradation, not the secrecy. cuz system threatens other wild life. 2, like these spoon bills at low tide, they feed on the meadows all 3 of formosa, revolver, carbon santos, and her cim planted c cross in the summer. now they're trying to track it down to see if the plans survived. though cameras can't capture them, divers can spot them within naked eyes. he will vase the in the 8th, and it's great to see that that works. so we'll see how that happens in the winter

and health lead, sir. it goes well and we can see plaza growing and his breathing from across the globe a conservationist sa, focusing on replanting c crosses. like here near the spanish island of my ga, it's tedious work. the young plans are sensitive and the growth is slow. but recent studies point to a reversal of the decline of secrecy and europe assigned that protection and restoration efforts can make a difference with the health of offline. it can be gauged by how rich are biodiversity is. each organism has a role to play and contribute to this dynamic health. if we don't abuse our rule and committed to protecting our ecosystem, the earth will heal and thrive. i'll leave you with that thought and see you again
