briefing every year, many im gonna working on lengthy b, y fairly holiday destinations and drowning in plastic weiss, we rewind at the core every year. your other exports over 1000000 tons of plastic with there. another way. after all the environment isn't to recyclable. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, ah, ah, ah, welcome to global 3000. re wilding, the woods in romania nature. conservationists of protecting forests from

deforestation. the return of green people on the island of borneo, bringing back the trees and make shift living the cove it pandemic has left many people without a proper home. having an adequate place to live is considered a basic human rights. and yet an estimated 150000000 people are homeless and says, the un that number is rising. homelessness is commonly caused by poverty, unemployment conflict, and natural disasters. worldwide in 2020, around 1600000000 people were living in provisional accommodation, including tents, hots, and vehicles. even in ostensibly wealthy countries like australia. the wind in the waves are just right. it's a fairly typical day in byron bay,

a town on australia's eastern coast circle spend the day out on the water hanging 10 and enjoying life. does morgan is also back on the bush giving surfing lessons again, hoping for almost 2 years. australia's porters were closed. it was a devastating blow for tourism and all those who live from it, like gas, morgan wow. stopped. oh, well stop. i've got to get a job, a real job unreal job doing this and i've had this business for 23 years. we had to go pack firewood, we had to go do some labouring. we had to do something else so we can get some money to buy food and live. you know, it's sam, it's been a crazy time and it's not over yet. many have lost their jobs and their homes. byron bay street, so full of people who have lost everything. they get by thanks to free food from

the local soup kitchen. before volunteers are cooking for a growing number of needy people. here they get food and more. if we can offer him a friendly face, hopefully that is a little bit. anyway, tom, it's just amazing how tough some of these people would have to deal with. roland dixon gets by on this pension, but he says life in byron bay has become something of a paradox. with a lot of very, very wealthy people who just it's, it's a nice place to live. and particularly during coast over the prices in farm bay went up 70 percent one year. and it was expensive here anyway, that immediately cut the all the people who work here, all the people who work in restaurants in the hotels and carefully. they come food live environment. during the pandemic, many fell into poverty. it was a huge shock. there were no tourists, no jobs, and rent prices soard. the rate of homelessness in byron bay is now among the

highest in australia. besides picking up food, those need to can also do their laundry for free. peach county has a job and a supermarket, but he can barely afford the goods, he packs on the shelves. so he comes here for the basics. and i've got some, ne, a bit of salad and bread and some music by to some, okay, there's other people where i live. so i can just take that they all have a bit of suffering of alleged stuff for the other people as well. pete county, easter earn more and live well, things have never been as tight as they are now. in the evening, he shows his his home. he's renting an old van on the edge of a caravan park. he's lived here for over a year for the equivalent of 120 years a week. still quite a lot of money. it's not too bad. i mean, for byron,

you never get anything cheaper. especially, you'll never get anything that price where you have the bit of your own place and i think so you can't afford a flat or even a room together. yeah. if possible, you wouldn't find it to start with. and then if you did, i mean it will just be hundreds of dollars away. i'm and i'm guessing is not pointing to have a look. i would say $4500.00 a week. after a meal from the soup kitchen, the day comes to an early end. he doesn't complain because he's aware that others are even worse off. after that, there's nothing to do would lie down and wait for morning and hopefully better times. ah, but for those with money, we're just passing through. like said, dream in byron bay, the town has 10000 residents,

but many more tourists had some stay on. the place is a magnet for the hip and wealthy. those able to sit out the pandemic or other crises under the australian sun. a while some enjoyed the quiet during the pandemic. others were bearing the full brunt of what byron's mer calls a housing crisis. seeing a huge, i moved from the cities to the regions and pen, so that means more pressure on housing. more people despised harhouse prices, higher rental costs getting the higher, getting the job, the harper. and once you had that, you find you get a house and i problem. now if you've got a job named, it's meaningless. your unique needs to be a really well paid job. mikaela bailey has just finished one job,

but it's on her way to the next. after her shift at a cafe, she works at this take away from child. double duty means double the stress. i got their stiff competition for jobs, for employers. it's cheaper to pay several temporary workers than $1.00 fixed employee mikaela bailey's to jobs. keep a roof over her head just her small van is parked on the edge of town. this is home, even with the tear, i still have a low for the fi frontier. um but yeah, maybe maybe the higher paying job impose they're both relatively low paying so that can't really pay for that for the so picturesque byron bay has a problem. while the return of tourists is being celebrated by the industry, many residents priced out of the market during the pandemic exemption no longer

make them speak. forests play a crucial role for our planet. they regulate the climate wooded areas, a cooler and more moist than elsewhere. and every year they also absorb around $2000000000.00 tons of c o. 2 from the atmosphere. forests span just under a 3rd of the world surface. the largest of these areas are in the northern hemisphere and near the equator. rain forests boast huge biodiversity, including large animals like forest, elephants, and gorillas, through to insects and fun gate. despite this, every year around $10000000.00 hectares of forest to cut down or burnt, that's an area. the size of iceland are reporter ab rodeo fella traveled to the island of borneo, where large areas of rain forest have already disappeared. farmer

linger, catherine is heading to a forest on the island of borneo. in recent years, he's planted around a 1000 trees on his 7 hector's of land, where there was once just bare earth. he seized the work as an investment in his future law that the lady i talked to thomas tree down man. and i'm thinking that i might wait until the trunk is more than 30 centimeters wide. i did not get the maximum price for italy, moxie married linger. cason also keeps oil palms and rather trees, but they don't yield enough profit. so in 2016, he was among the 1st to sign up for a re, for a station project. it aimed to create sustainable forests and provide an income for local people. it includes growing crops to avoid creating a monoculture. the farmers are allowed to chop down some of the larger trees to

sell more than a 1000 farm is now involved in the project. dubbed 100000000 trees, indonesia has lost nearly a 5th of its forests in just the last 20 years. some work lead for gold mining like here, the damage to the environment that comes from gold mining is huge. as the project manager explains, it used to be a 4th bar after a year. it become like this. and they basically flipped ah, the sand and then bring the top soil inside the ha, it's in the did site part. so it's almost impossible to forest this area. and, and, ah, it's very high risk job. because in a process they're using dangerous chemicals such as mercury. and of course, it's very bad for the informant as well as the people. but unfortunately, this is one of the few source of income for the local paper here. so it's

vital to create alternative sources of income. mon elisa poochie got up here is reaching out to the gold minus, hoping to bring them in to the reforestation project i presented regarding of e i'm. they're actually very open to new ideas, as long as it is illegal in all den, not risking their lives. this is what we tried to bring through the rangers through 100000000 threes. this form a forest was burned down to make way for a palm oil plantation. now, a new forest is being planted here. many local villages, a pitching in that allows them to earn some extra money is being financed by private investors. on the german government's international climate initiative, the farm is get the seedlings directly from fair ventures, once they've received training on how and where to plant them.

today caught up it's visiting farmer possy hon. he's only been involved in the project for a year, but he's already planted several 100 sen gone trees. descend on, it's very fast growing around 5 to 6 meters in 11 months. this is why we love this kind of 3 so much. because you know, the more they grow the morning trojan they put into soil the more work the life of the soil. and i did a lot of the farmers to actually plan any other things in his field. and yeah, this is how it's growing. and, and imagine a ww are recent center cali month on i did was planted by the former here, the absorb the carbon. and i think for the farmer, it's not only about providing a stable income for himself and later his children, like in many parts of borneo,

floods are a growing problem here. copies occurred on this at the but in these days our village floods $3.00 to $4.00 times a year. i used to only flood once a year or we saw it, but it doesn't seem to matter any more. what the season is. we still get flooded. but how low 2 months happily, i don't more senior that the, the more you ma'am, i think it's down to the impact of mining the same warning. the forest has been cleared up so the ground doesn't absorb the water, a mortgage to that. and when it rains heavily, i know every word just floods all young that a little, but gay, good thought i'm been gotta planting more trees. could help prevent such damaging floods in the future. more than a 1000000 new trees have been planted throughout the region so far. some of them will now be felled and sold as timber, while others are planted in their place. the idea is to attract more business to

borneo, to help the farmers, the timber industry in indonesia. now it's still very centralized in java island. right. and, and we've tried to convince the industry to or so an invest in color mountain or what we're trying to do is we tried to connect to farmers directly with the industry to cut down a middle man. which is, you know, we tried to, to make it more to make the most profits for the farmers through this is the farmer linger cason who's been involved from the start is optimistic. he's hoping that the 100000000 trees initiative will improve his life in the long term while also benefiting the environment even better than reforestation is preserving old growth forest in the 1st place. that's what conservationists in romania has. capacity and mountains are working to do by creating one of europe's

largest national parks. ah, in romania has car patheon mountains. it's easy to get lost. everything here is big . even the animals were looking for europe's largest herbivores. oh, my gosh, a bag. yeah. he and these far garaged mountains here in the romanian co pay the ants are the largest contiguous and intact natural area. we have in central, in eastern europe for this reason. we believe this has the potential of becoming the yellowstone of europe. we've gotten a foundation set up by christophe and barbara pom bagger has been progressively buying up and leasing land in the fog a rash mountains. the carpathia project is set to cover 2000 square kilometers of land. but what's a national park with wildlife 75 bison have now been re introduced to the same area

that the used to room 200 years ago. you can you name of it's, we always tend to say that we want to create something great. but it costs a lot of money and a whole lot of building and other activities in it, but we don't need that. and then when we talk about nature, the best thing we can do is fix what we broke and then leave it alone. or you guys don't want, you are actually intervening by releasing wild animals for example, who gets you that? so you're intentionally altering what's here and what we're doing is bringing back the animals, all the species that actually belong in this system to sustain given the bison are shy, but their tracks are everywhere. after hours of searching, we just about managed to spot one from behind. humans constitute a disruptive presence in their world. the video trap shoes that a large number of the animals were here a short while ago. 12345610

minutes ago to me so of if the posher give it open and on wanting footprints, phoebe because they're heavy, create smaller policies which collect water and earn your business will, will live. so an umbrella bromberg has have in mind is a long term undertaking. the storing the complex ecosystems will take more than a century. the parks mean benefactor swiss entrepreneur, hans york. this pastor needed 47000000 euros to the project. the prom back as motto is, think big. using the discount misty. we weren't born with big

ideas, of course off. but we learned somewhere along the way in our lives that if you really want to accomplish something, you need to have a big vision problem to grow, give use yawn. it says yahoo! and again, it's a very nice story. but in the day to day, it's also an emotional rollercoaster. there were lots of high knows who the low ah, although they've not always been welcome here. locals attitude to them sour due to the couple from austria and germany, being seen as carrying more for the welfare of wild animals than people. romania as part of the you. but a country still undergoing transformation with wide spread poverty and little industry. corruption is rampant. the idea of giving nature free rain and having bears, for example, living in the local wilderness is not a very popular one here. the beyond what platoon exclude the get alda, the bad population is exploding right now. there have always been conflicts,

but at the moment people have strong opinions about it. so support is dropping a bit right now. be seen. i've seen more bears live here than anywhere else in europe. trophy hunting was ended in 2016 now with appears are protected. and with the winters getting warmer, the bears to hibernate. any more. while beach trees shed more nuts, more frequently. and the improved food situation means the bears and turn produce more offspring. some of my that's have a lick, cindy. it's golden besides a little drive, but we're in luck as of yours, not that he can sneak the whole of this is no longer fresh, but you can see a batch ikea. that's maybe 4 or 5 days old here from 1000 eyes. from anna mac is the important thing. it's not how high the population is, but how big the conflicts are almost done. that's what the management side needs to focus on, conflicts that he doesn't really matter how many bears there are in the forest in

this, in boca hut of the delight they happen. people wouldn't have a problem with 10000 bears in the forest. if they stayed there, i'm the conservation carpathia foundation pays compensation sheet killed by the beers are replaced. and the fcc also provides hurting dogs. dealing with the country's timber mafia is not so easy. they make millions and profits from locking local forests. and the prom baggers. tellers of strong connections to the corrupt authorities in the deluxe or dose d on some from the to now, of course, they're afraid of the national parks model because they know it poses a threat to their business model and output controlled. and that potential changed like them is why they're fighting us so fiercely on hectic became for the couple will to show me the scars left by the timber mafia even before we reached the mountains, the impact of the clear cutting is clear to see white spread erosion and overflowing

streams. ah, she forrester me. hi sata is distraught at how even city the mountain tops up here still resemble a battlefield. it's much easier to destroy. it's hard to restore. but to have to wait the wait 100 years, the 3 of forest woocommerce 300 heck, tears of woodland had been completely raised here. in the meantime, the foundation has begun to reforest the area by planting spruce trees and sycamore maples. laborious task pan, there is no quick and easy fix for doing what an old mature forest can such as producing oxygen and filtering water. if somebody would pass cube 20 years ago and would have told you that we will drink only bottled water, you wouldn't believe. and now we are drinking almost the only bottle of water and

what will come next. so what do you fear? i think the importance of the water sources will increase, but i'm, i think mm. you need to see the disastrous consequences up here, but also witness the beauty of nature. to understand that large national parks and nature reserves are crucial for our future. even if ultimately, the most immediate argument is that protecting nature brings more prosperity and destroying it. humidifier now people here can see for themselves and that does money to be made from this beautiful area without destroying it, without shooting and killing any animals or using any other kind of extract of activity this extract he floats in schism overall, the trend is a positive one, and that's also a motivation based alpha. there's no doubt that a european yellowstone park would be a blessing, but it won't come to fruition all by itself.

this makes global snack is a sweet change from south africa. ah, ah, beau cat lies at the foot of signal hill in cape town. the muslim influence quarter is renowned for its colorful houses and steep anyways. it's home to cooper muhammad or anti cobra. she's known in the neighbourhood. her speciality is cook sister, the sticky, spicy deep fried pastry, a mustard sunday. breakfast in bo cup. a cook's escort done from those years when that they came to south africa, africa that time. right. and they gave the all people that a safe of a donut. and why did a, what out the, for the east. the air did the little,
