it's a 77 percent the platform with issues. hey sure, idea. you know, on this channel we're not afraid to patch and then he gets to talk to young people clearly have the solution. good future. most of the 77 percent, every weekend on d. w ah ah, planet tribes on balance. but since the industrial revolution began in the late 18th century, humans have been encroaching upon every kind of land to build factories, offices, and hoops. activity is endangering many fragile ecosystems around the world,

and slowly leading us to the state imbalance today on the coin deal. 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. let's start on you to come island dock to read in pulley catholic off the be of been gone. 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 island used to be a popular weekend to get to work. 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,

rama 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 cause his crops to feel. his hovers are further compromised by animals, now emerging out of the woods because they have nothing left to eat. there by near labanic amended less water in the nearby forest in foxes, come into the village. burn good since those in afford to healing this day and did our crops of year a monopoly. drama moved. he lives on it up, come a small island in the pool, liquid leak in south east in india. it's the country 2nd largest brackish lagoon after chile got the lagoon is a rich repository of biodiversity, and it is home to rare animals such as the sport built belkin and the black stalk.

the lagoon provides the entire coastal region with an important buffer against the increasingly intense cyclists that also includes the nearby regional capital janae . but the islanders face, but typically acute difficulties due to climate change. not only the farmers are affected, local fishers are also under pressure. the long dry periods have seen traditional grounds disappear. see sociologist, gideon, balancing talent, part of the a couple of companies who live in the southern auto, frederick officially of the state of thermal, not, not even really on this initiative. and part of the people who were fishing, an automated lesson plan it along the better integrate level the island than me, but not today because that is not what own create a little for. only rocky. one of the younger it's become mostly for lamar didn't use it school for fish, it. let's go from here to ship. a lot of people have already left after 160 families who once lived in drama more these neighbourhood 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 lead up if you don't make enough money. how long? good. christina lambert, the one we have to take care of our children. and family people, we go out on the 4 or 5 in a building at all to collect sheltering lawn de la wardour leone wanted well, but it's not just shellfish that people harvest from the bed of the lagoon some time ago. they started digging deeper in search of shell limestone. that's millions of years old. on some days to head out in a fleet of 50 boats. mining several dozen tons of the storm from down below a practice. but disastrous consequences for the local ecosystem explains marine biologist. my to mortgage in the mining silly or the calendar when people look for this, don't sell fuller dig out. they were in halls. i then been with the guardian etiquette de la. that is because the children are gloomy just below the surface on that bill

. on the sims, this another window water then becomes more turbid. fish and grabs stay in law. and on the lower course is in the bottom. what even the prehistoric shells are sold to local factories. they use the limestone in the rock for manufacturing, everything from sugar and salt to cement and leather products. it's an awful predicament 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 kinda wanted to leave learning that there will be no one to speak up for this ecosystem. so we are looking at how people can continue to student marketing and talking about the challenge connected fees and how they can diversify to write a notion. what on hand, when i'm with the offering a real popular one idea is soft, eco tourism. visitors from janay are already of frequent sight, even if just for

a couple of hours. and the lagoon is also famed among board watchers around the world. a chance perhaps for those living by the lagoon and an especially welcome bon for the time after the pandemic. like it of come island, germany's forests are under service tree trees are dying at an alarming rate. an indian bond 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 stethoscope here in one of the warmest areas in germany, researches are taking the pulse of the country as far as today. i want to test how the, the peach tree sampling is responding to different light intensities and also to

stimulate it. enrich theo to which very likely bill will be there in the future. to know when this sapling is growing on the soil, whether it is it has enough water to do that level of photosynthesis. indian bone research has summit saw, has put together a team of young scientists from various countries and disciplines. the group called sylvania to the ancient roman god of the woodland, and known as worldwide. some excel houses, those woodlands under threat also from sprawling organization 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. natural forest are getting declined, but the plantations and the deep plantation. coffee plantation,

or eucalyptus plantation, or acacia plantations, the robber plantations. these are increasing and gone, 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 of plantations and high quality forest which can provide habitat to, to and then your 3 species like tiger or other animals is actually low active deforestation to make grateful, farmland and timber production is one reason for the large scale loss of woodlands, and then there is climate change which has taken a heavy told on our forests here in germany. tales. according to the government study, the proportion of unhealthy trees in the country has risen to an 80 percent. and that in turn makes them vulnerable to pests such as the bark little tree. and

normally barbie doll is a part of our ecosystem. they are always there. but nowadays they are, are kind of destroying so many trees because trees are actually weakened 1st by draught. and been when some one is already weakened and of 100 ability to disease will really increased and that's are 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 minor 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 3 species is dying, then however we should blunted again. but in my opinion, we should be very careful here because the 3 species also has

a capacity to do evolved. if you take 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 this environment, but not invasive. native trees are being rapidly and permanency displaced by invasive species such as this poisonous perennial plant american poke weed. so how can researchers find out which non native species can be planted in german forests without endangering them? the landscape gardens of cars who are palace feature 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 dare . so the red oak ears are also growing foster. in this commercial timber forest, american red ox 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 pan 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 food, please feel things in the region round her son in northern india. ready 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 lizard because they dont have groundwater because it is in very deft and also are not good in quality. it is not usable. and as far as the end is concerned, every year, every year to see you, minimum brain fall in this area. shims 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 fly by today or the car. oh, today he's visiting the school at pandora's 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 brand vision, it's all that, but we said that no, no. our responsibility starts from that point, so i requested them to consider that no other responsibility has in is and we have the little all siblings as a get in my middle family. a committee with the limit these trees will give us fresh air to breathe and fruit to it. if we've learned that trees need to be treated as members of our family, only then can they say my planet shall put out with effect. 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 center gianni named his organization for meal you forestry. after the idea it was founded on it all started back in 2003 when she m. 's under gianni was a young sociology professor working at

a college and b carther. 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 more than once and 100 different than i did. it is, most davis is seduce none forest in any education institute over i just on meet my daughter. now she m 's under gianni piece for the seedlings out of his own pocket. if 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 karita. she often has to look after their 2

daughters alone. my money is often tight at the end of the month. i know that's proved to 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 won the united nations land for life award, thrusting shims under johnny's organisation into the media spotlight. recognizing efforts to prevent to certification world wide, it's bestowed by the un, ccd. i've seen many activities that you're donate a tree and then somebody else takes care of the tree on your behalf. but the idea of, i'm here for a see is i see a tree as a member of the family year will cultivate that careful. and the tree,

their food or the survival rate of the trees in that region where funny employer is trade planchet. it's significant, significantly high. yeah. 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 full bearing thes eclipse, biodiversity. it increases biodiversity also because these trees at red butterflies, small insects pollinators, even worse. so, by this way, we can increase and we can protect our neighbor city. also. she em sunday gianni has another idea that he's dreamt of for a long time planting trees among roadsides in india's sprawling cities. where space

is scarce, urban populations are in need of clean air and vitamin packed fruit as well as t. now it's not only the biodiversity or 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. we're conservationists see grass meadows, our 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 $34.00, almost a lagoon to collect sediment samples for b. 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 in close mapping the approximately 10 percent of wetland that's covered by sea cross, which is one of the lagoons most valuable assets. they are very efficient carville scenes, which means that they can sequester and they store

a huge amount of carbons in their biomass. and in the say, the one behind where they roll. and this is very important because when sequestering their seal to the carbone that is sore in their sediment, they are a 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 shannon santos and the team from y'all golf, sent off marine sciences. want to find out exactly how much of this blue carbon 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 to 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 anxious in europe. the scene said, since the 60s, we have lost one 3rd of the seed was made that we had one of the major threats to cigarette. this is the amount of, of bolts that we have because 1st the travel very fast, which creates a big wave that hits the margins of channels and erodes

the cost so well, the sediment was some large under us grow with water pollution also threatens see growth species around the globe, stricter legislation has served to improve water quality into your formosa, which in turn has helped to grasp it to recover. and that's, and if it is one of the lagoons, most iconic inhabitants the sea horse. their numbers have dropped by more than 90 percent in recent years, primarily due to illegal fishing and the destruction of the habitat protective zones and artificial structures like these have been set up to help see horses need something to cling onto. i jones is the driving force behind the c 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 a, 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 and people and all the food that is also provided by the pons at the research station where george palmer works 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 a formosa. it's a start o fully. it won't be a futile measure to support what's left of the current population.

all of them are conceived as flagship species, which mean that are species that represent their i be thought for a few what we are studying seahorses and trying to figure out what's happening with their environment. if thy biodiversity is decreasing, you should i be thought to be going to be graded. that will affect all due by the voice of all the animals. if leaving that same abbey thought, the degradation, not the secrecy consist him threatens other wildlife 2 like these spoon bills. at low tide, they feed on the meadows of 3 a formosa of carbon santos, and had teen planted c cross in the summer. now that trying to track it down to see if the plans survived, though cameras can't capture them, divers can spot them within naked ice. he will vase when they ask and it's great to see that they it works. so we'll see how it happens in the winter and health lead, sir. it goes well,

and we can see plaza growing and his grading from across the globe a conservationist sa, focusing on replanting c crosses. like here near the spanish island of ma, 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. you wish the health of our planet 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 next week from all of us in india and germany. good bye. and thanks for watching
