oh, what secrets? why behind these was discover new adventures in 360 degrees and explore fascinating world heritage sites. he w world heritage 360. get out now. 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 hopes out 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 i let start on you to come island. dr. me in pulley cough, lake off the be of been gone, so now did by brackish water. this ecosystem boss suffered rich biodiversity of plans, books, and animals located just over 50 kilometers from the metropolis of gen line. iroquois island used to be a popular. we can't get to we, but climate change, forest pollution, and government apathy, endangering the lives of the people who live along with the ecosystem may help protect the farmer and i'm a more t. nothing is how it once was thanks to increasingly frequent extreme,

better. thank loans, regularly flood have fields with salt water and then there are the extended dry periods that cause his crops to fill his harvest photo compromised by animals. now emerging out of the woods because they have nothing left to eat there. and the love and water in the nearby forest and foxes come into the village and afford to hear this d and d, that will prompt paving and i'm with the lives on a dot com, a small island in the liquid lee in south eastern india. it's the country 2nd largest brackish lagoon after chilly cut. the lagoon is a rich repository of biodiversity under the home to their animals, such as the fox business, pelican, and the black stalk. the lagoon provides the entire coastal region with an important buffer against the increasingly intense cycle that also include the

nearby regional capital gen they. but the islanders fees particularly 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. c sociologist, gideon, balancing m tell in part of the republican people who live in the southern miss out of iraq. i'm officially of the state of storm a lot. when i do you live in michigan for decent people who were fishing and had an automated and i couldn't find it. and along the better integrated the island than me, but not to do it because there is no water in it for it to little for only rocky, one or 2 feet bianca, it's become mostly for lamar. did you say it's called for fish here to the school from the community? ah, 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 love winnable if we don't make enough money. how long? good christina. wheel, number one, we have to take care of our children. and family people, we go out, i'm a little 4 or 5 in a blue collection from blond law. what a border lawyer when it will. 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 they head out in a fleet of 50 boards, mining several dozen tons of the storm from down below. a practice with disastrous consequences for the local ecosystem explains marine biologist, model ma gauge in the mining sin lyrica valinda. when people look for the stone cell fuller dig out several holes a then they move. the guardian litigant de la that is because national friends are 2 meters below the surface on that the, on the sims, this another window water then becomes more turbid. fish and grabs, stay in law,

abandon the log or susan, the bottom would even the pre historic shells are sold to local factories. they use the limestone in the rock for manufacturing, everything from sugar and salt to cement and lead the product. 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 can them? i did believe we learned in the live will be no one to speak up for this ecosystem . so we are looking at how people can continue to stay in the marketing and talking about the challenge of the fees and how they can diversify to ryan ocean on. and when i'm with the opening of the poker, one idea is soft, eco tourism. visitors from genay are already a frequent site, 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 been for the time after the pandemic. like it of come island, germany's forests are under severe st. trees are dying at an alarming rate. an indian wand research or working in the country is on a mission to save its forest by making them more resilient to 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's flores. today i want to test how the, the peach tree sampling is responding to different light intensities and also to stimulate it. enriched theo to which very likely bill will be there in the future.

therefore, it is very important for us 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 se to the ancient roman god of the woodland. and worldwide, some excel houses, those woodlands under threat also from sprawling urban eyes, asian 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,

or 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 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 toll on our forests here in germany too. 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 dark blue country. 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 someone is already weakened of 100 ability to disease will really 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 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 beech 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 dream species also has a capacity to do evolve. if you tick out completely from the system,

then you can laws the species. but at the same time, you should try with the species. witcher may be new to this 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 is find out which non native species can be planted in german forests without endangering them. the landscape gardens of cars who have 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 there. 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 research 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 families whose livelihood depend on it. to count on this local initiative has been distributing traditional fruit trees seedlings 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 leather because they don't 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 we receive minimum rainfall in this area. she ends under johnny 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 climber today or the car. oh, today he's visiting the school at bunder on village. he urges the villagers to take care of the trees, said that they grow to provide shade and fruit,

much stops after plantations. but generally people consider that when we did plan vision, it's all that. but the, let me say that, no, no, i would responsibility starts from that point. so i requested them to consider that noah has a responsibility as it is. and very little all siblings as a get in my middle family big and ready with the limit. these trees will give us fresh air to breathe and fruit to it. we've learned that trees need to be treated as members of our family. only then can they same our planet, telephone was effect, hobbled to day bounder 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 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 his 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 over seduce none for us then. we started plantation over there . you can see this is this except that off and, and having more than 2000 measles. oh, more than one and 100 different when i did it is most davis is seduce none forrest in any educational institute of what i just done. beat my door, dana shims 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 that's proved a sacrifice for his family, but it hasn't been in vain. familial 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 shams under johnnie's organization into the media spotlight. recognizing efforts to prevent desertification 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 c is i see a tree as a member of the family year. will cultivate that careful in the tree. therefore,

the survival rate. oh, good trees in that region where familiar were history 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 food, be adding these eclipse, biodiversity. it increases biodiversity also because these 3 at red butterflies, small insects, while in it earth, even worse. so my, this way we can increase and we can protect our biodiversity. also, she em sunday gianni has another idea that he's jumped up 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 tears. 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. what 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 30 a foremost lagoon to collect sediment samples from barbara corker through we can be made with out of koran in the same way 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 sea 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 this is very important because when sequestering their seal to and the carbone that is sore in their sediment, 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 sharman santos and the team from young golf sent off marine sciences. want to find out exactly how much of this blue carbon is stored? andrea 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. grosses meet more protection because of their 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 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 1st the it travel very fast with create said beak waves that to heat the markings of channels and day it roads there,

there caused the lug there while the city men would their son march under secret us are growing water pollution also threatens see growth theses 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. protective zones and artificial structures like these has been set up to help see horses need something to cling on to josh panama is the driving force behind the c horse project. he's studying the

relationship between the animals and see grass as well. those areas are highly productive in terms of food and as a, as an abby thought. and even if the sources don't use it directly to lose it or indirectly as it produce the food that later on, they will feel like small tramp, the small a, f both and all of the food that is also provided by the ponds 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. overly 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 bear. i be thought for few what we are studying c horses 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 the all the animals that leaving that same abby thought, the degradation of the secrecy co system threatens other wildlife 2 like these spoon bills at low tide. they feed on the meadows offering a formosa of carbon santos, and had chain planted secrets 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 with a naked ice. he will vase between the 8th and it's great to see that they it works . so we'll see how that happens in the winter and hopefully sir, it goes well and we can see lanza growing and his grading from

across the globe. conservationists are focusing on replanting. c crosses, like here near the spanish island of my georgia. 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 c process 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 next week from all of us in india and germany. good bye. and thanks for watching. mm.
