paradise. how c gross beds are helping protect the moldy is from erosion and the growing hunger for meat. can selective breeding or genetically modified animals may call food production more sustainable, whether barbecued fried or smoked, or global appetite for me to stronger than ever. and each year, some $80000000000.00 animals assorted to satiate it. but the amount we consume varies greatly from one country to another. and india, an average person meets around 5 kilos of meat annually. in the usa, it's over a $128.00 kilos. and in germany, people consume an average of $76.00 kilos of meat each year. are increasing production of meters, taking a big told on the climate. there are ways to make it more sustainable, but not all of them are ethically so straight with then knowledge. they're mostly

hands, they're the pride and joy of the have readers with squeezing as much as we can out of our animals. the world is getting ever hungry. f a meat and milk, but by pushing animals to their limits were doing the same to our planet. but if we can turn our animals into food production machines, couldn't, we also breed them to be more environmentally friendly? this is hardly any ecological nash. we're genetic fuel generics. i can't come up with a solution. scientists are working on designing more sustainable animals spice, selective breeding, or even by artificially changing their genetic code. revolutionary ways to make food production more sustainable or a dangerous manipulation of nature. for more than 10000 years, we humans have optimized corn and rice harvests and engineered zucchini to be non toxic, sheep stronger, and wolves,

more obedient. we've been doing this very successfully. this is professor john, do pray. he's an expert on the ethical aspects of animal breeding job. i mean, you know, who, if you could pay the growth rate to the sizes of animals. yes, over the last 2 decades. i mean, there's been no missing creases in productivity. the hunger for more and cheaper meet him milk has led to chickens that seemed fully grown at 20 days. double muscled cattle and pigs born with ho extra ribs. in 1961, a single cow in the u. s. produced 9 liters of milk per day to days. cows produce an average of 28 liters. that means that 3 breeding the carbon footprint of one glass of milk is a 3rd of what it was many decades ago. cow, still burp and fought greenhouse gas is, but they also produce much more milk. however, a far higher milk consumption worldwide negates these savings in emissions. and as a brutal flipside such fake production to animals that live in her refit conditions

or grow fall faster or heavier than their bodies can cope with. and one factor is driving this to ever greater extremes. me consumption is booming around the world, while the global population has roughly tripled in the past 60 years meet production has increased 5 fold, with richer countries devouring most of it. livestock farming requires enormous quantities of water and agricultural land for animal feed and contributes more than 14 percent of all man made greenhouse gas emissions. and regardless as to how productive our livestock is, the way we produce all food is disastrous for the planet. that's why some research is trying to improve livestock sustainability, either by selective breeding or by artificially changing the company. aqua bounty from us is that they are genetically modified. fish is more sustainable than traditionally produce salmon. they introduced to genes from other wild fish to

create what they call aqua advantage salmon. these super salmon are supposed to grow twice as fast as usual, salmon, and require up to 25 percent less feed. this is not about an sustainability that is not about producing better animals. this is the outward in seeing a genetically engineered product to the profit of the company. this is donna pulse from the n g o friends of the us who advocates against this practice. and we can't seem to do that. there's a lot of think of it is confidential business information. we asked the company for a statement and access to their scientific data, but hadn't received an answer by the time we made this video. the us food and drug administration approved the fish as safe to eat in 2015, but the decision saw heavy backlash from civil society and environmental groups. he

took the company to court. there's evidence highlighting the rest of the genetically engineered salmon bleed with wild salmon. that within a couple generations, i'll examine them. and not only are ecosystems at risk, the potential benefits of artificial genetic engineering can come at a price undesirable mutations and side effects. in 2020 a u. s. court ruled that the f d. a had failed to sufficiently investigate the environmental consequences of approving genetically engineered salmon. but what about less invasive selective breeding? that's when animals with the desired features, a cross bred with each other to boost or disable certain traits. their genes are not directly modified or this shape has won an award, or rather its creators were honored for their contribution to mitigating climate change. and where else could the sheep have been bred than in new zealand, where she pout number humans, 6 to one greatest sustainability in its meat and wool industries is key for the

country's own net 0 target. we place a clue, discover that we can, we can breathe full unless we think this is dr. suzanne ro, for years she has looked at how she could burp out, fewer climate damaging gases. we can change the, the bugs that are in the stomach that break down the feet. and we could change the amount of methane that's emitted every generation of sheep bread here emits slightly less methane than the previous one. an effect that accumulates over time. dr. roe says that apart from burping and floating less methane, the sheep are as healthy, unproductive as their high emitting companions. and even meet the criteria for organic farming. to selectively breed the low methane shape. the scientists 1st had to find the ness, gassy ones. so they put the sheep into a special high tech chamber and let them get windy. the sheep here are only used for research purposes, then not sold. the institute is traveling the country,

measuring the methane levels of sheep regardless of breed. this means farms can select the more sustainable animals themselves, the so called font chamber could potentially also be used for other graces too. currently, the only genetically engineered animals approved for consumption are found in the us and canada. the u is still far from making such a step, but environmentalists and consumer rights advocates fear that could one day change . meanwhile, the u. k. government has already proposed legislation allowing for the commercial development of gene edited livestock. it seems to me likely that this, these could be on some of up later on in the next few years. ah, let say within the next 5 years. genetic intervention raises questions about potential risks to the environment as well as undesirable side effects. selective breeding could be a safer and more viable alternative, but would demand more effort and time was also clear. is that the problems that

come with milken meat production won't be solved by simply altering car animals. ah, the bright world of plants is losing color. 2 out of 5 species are at risk of extinction . according to an annual study by botanists is largely humans who are responsible for the dramatic biodiversity losses with our increasing use of land for agriculture, destruction of forests for wert and ever expanding cities. but there are also other reasons for species loss such as disease or increasingly plant poaching best and south africa with extreme heat and barely any rain. anything that grows here needs to be hardy. like these unusual looking succulents, known as living stones. the limited water source comes from do that forms between the quart stones and mist from the air. they grow slowly,

some living for hundreds of years unless in a brand new car where he got by this was a plant that can really withstand a great deal lively in file. it can survive with very little water in with almost no rain she quietly. this one is under strides, which you can see by the markings and colors. this is this, the good? it's all about survival in this dry environment. the idea, the rangers and corners flat t nature reserve are responsible for an area, the size of berlin. they're trying to protect and preserve this unique ecosystem. because of the $190.00 species that grow only here around 80 percent are at risk of extinction. by poachers they common ever greater numbers ob, routing, thousands of plans to sell to an international market that is constantly growing. it's something that people want. they want that they want to see that plant that grows naturally and suffers so to speak with in the environment. and

especially that it's a story that can be told with regards to that plant. so it's something that's increase over the last 3 years. i would say drastically. their ability to survive and the most adverse conditions is what makes them so attractive. few people live in this barren stretch of land. the farms here are spaced very far apart. kobus vista is a sheep farmer. if you want to farm here, he tells us you need to keep your eyes on the ground. see what's growing. make sure there aren't too many sheep too close together pulling plans out of the ground rather than just eating them this of farm sustainably. and he knows the importance of these succulents to the ecosystem. if they disappear, the whole system could collapse. the soil will erode, the land will turn to desert the poach as a putting everything at risk dark mesa. but see there are

people who say that the poaching of renault's or abalone is, is nothing compared to what's happening here. bedroom on a separate. it's so bad that it will change the way that people live here in august . these are all mudy maze of my closest neighbor lives. your teen kilometers aware, an alarm for the poachers are threatening my safety would be at a mud. we're usually out here all alone on our land or from what i what are your for your high go more heard that on. on poachers are becoming more common, says vsa police are also armed to protect the plants and the farmers. but the aren't enough of them to cover such a vast area. here in spring book, police are planning a road lock this evening. we head into the house of the semi desert. the poachers used to come from abroad, but since the cove a travel restrictions more locals have taken over. they know the area better and

how the police work. things are not going well this evening. folk harrowed you twice and his team. the trap didn't detect a single vehicle after a few hours they call of the operation, but they're still determined. not to do the members are positive, and then the 3rd to stop poaching. it's is a really man mas sir. like to night, the great 9 people a year and a member from my unit, they are really bosses, if you can see the effort they put in its scale and good evernote success. but they are willing willingly to commit the commit bocce a few kilometers further. south his colleagues have had better success. they've made 2 arrests by 9 30 am seizing bags containing thousands of plans. 8 a poachers waiting to be questioned, a one foot outside the captain is already on the phone, about the next case and corral due to our husband, summoned to trial as a witness where the perpetrators could face prison also with doorbell real dis,

the flight grievance circumstances. the see what maximum body entrance will get to we opened the good in bozeman, died in comparison to just given measures. also the people as you really, it's not worth the bocce, it's mostly local poachers who are caught and convicted. those behind the scenes in europe and asia usually get away. scott free, succulent smuggling has become a business worth 1000000000. most of them are unlike endangered african animals, plants don't have a strong lobby behind them. the damage to the regions, biodiversity and ecosystem is a reparable. an issue that still attracts far too little attention. ah, chance that grow under water also need protecting, like sea grass meadows anchored to the sea floor. this valuable ecosystem also absorbs carbon dioxide. for our series global ideas, we dived into the fascinating underwater worlds of the mold eaves.

all the islands at holes of the mold eaves unknown world wide for the crystal clear waters and coral reefs. they are also home to another, incredibly by diverse and important ecosystem. c cross meadows. ha ha, seem is amal devion, ocean conservationist working to bring this overlooked ecosystem to light? looks like there's a big, a huge patch of sea grass actually. so i'm going to dump in have a look 1st, and then we're going to do a rapid assessment of the meadow. this is to understand what kind of species there are, the species composition and whether the patches healthy to do

a more in depth. so is very little scientific work has been done on the country, see grass, meadows, and new sites are still being explored. secret meadows plan important role for the climate. as carbon reservoirs, there are 8 different species of secret found throughout them all deeps. the root system of these plans closely related to orchids and lilies helps bind the sand together and prevent erosion. a major challenge for an island country like the mall dees, a number of results in the maldives, actively remove sea grass meadows. but in lamar at all, she ha, ha, she has helped bring about a change in strategy. the resort has stopped removing c grass and begun educating his guest 3 talks and guided snorkeling to his with marine biologists to

showcase the environments natural biodiversity seek roses are incredibly efficient at storing carbon. some studies show that they capture carbon $35.00 times faster than tropical rain forests. the maldives underwater initiative is currently involved in a global study looking at exactly how much carbon the maldives meadows could sequester. once we split our sediment core into the different that profiles or we will weigh it dry it and then weigh it again. and we will send it off to a lab for analysis. and they will be looking at the organic carbon content inside each of the depth samples. this is really important because it will help us understand how much carbon these marine ecosystems are storing, which would help mitigate against climate change. c, gras meadows also act as

a nursery full small fish, including economically targeted species such as snappers and groupies by educating local communities about c grasses. shahan her seem hopes that both nature and the communities relying on these ecosystems will benefit in the long term. now really know how important it figured out because it's more efficient and they live in the us. he r t grass and they will get some food and we have to keep the fish until they get the big. so then no fisherman can catch the big fish and eat it, and it's very important for the real fisherman's or so does he grass so of you have to protect the sea grass. the government now plans to put sea grass matters under protection. and many of the countries resorts have also pledged to protect over 1000000 square meters of sea grass across the mall deeps.

this could mean less drastic interventions in the future. it is thought that up to 30 percent of sea grass habitats have been lost over the last century. but it also seems that these ecosystems are resilient. the maldives underwater initiative has track the meadows at the resort and identified that they've increased in size by over 20 percent. in the last 3 years alone, the aggressive are absolutely essential for the future of the more given islands. to get there with korea and mangrove, the aggressive play a really important role in protecting the island from outside forces. eroding forces, thanks to increase to wellness of the importance of secrecy for the survival of the mall div in times of climate change. the researchers hope action will be taken to better protect these beautiful marine meadows.

the amazon rain forest is crucial for biodiversity and the it's climate system. but it's being torn down at an ever faster case. environmentalists fear the destruction of this vital rain forest could reach a new high and 2020 t. but there are some small initiatives providing high in the middle of the lush forest of the amazon delta lies bell. m. a special kind of soccer club has recently begun playing in the jungle metropolis. it was founded by vaulted lima at is called the amazonia independent. yet the club is dedicated to the environmental protection of the amazonian rain forest. the teams jerseys are

made from recycled plastic bottles. the mora, kita an ancient frog symbol from the myths of the indigenous amazon inhabitants is emblazoned on them. the club is financed by grants from the regional government and ethical sponsors between a difficult flesh in the well being seen the brit. i've said no to sponsors who didn't made my ethical standards. elva look, but they were shady, for example, there was a timber expo who i didn't want as a sponsor to add on my bid. in my videos. i'm a zona independent ya is a successful professional team that has aspirations to move up to the top league in the amazon region. voucher. lima is environmental concern stem from seeing 1st hand how quickly brazil's nature is being destroyed. voice music you got in the doorstep . i used to be a gold mine and myself will they then i caught malaria and stopped flock critical say, since then i've seen how much environmental destruction is increasing. yours them with the fuel. tens of thousands,

perhaps hundreds of thousands of gold miners scoured the amazonian soils for deposits. deforestation is rampant. fires are eating deep into the ecosystem. nevertheless, in many places the amazon still looks and chanting like further upstream and the tranquil provincial capital of santa rem. it's from here that vall to lima will embark on his own personal mission to do this, he 1st has to buy lots of soccer balls, gifts for an indigenous village, rival 15 boys in my family's via job. he, i plan to go upstream on the amazon tributary ira opinions like this. i want to donate soccer materials to an indigenous community that, that establish a base for my soccer club on amazonia in the bed. and she was on the financial blue,

although lima doesn't have much money. he still wants to help. when he's not playing or working as club president, he would like to distribute personal donations and those of sponsors to river communities. his family accompanies him on the trip on the wooden steamer. you cannot a up the river that several kilometers wine. they're taking with them not only soccer balls and jerseys, but also a message of environmental protection. though saucon wish to so much my clothes, amazonia, independent chair, is supposed to be more than just a soccer club. for me, it's about triggering a new awareness and people about the preservation of this incredible treasure. our wonderful nature, you do not believe, isabel. since his time as a gold miner, walter has been worried about the destruction of the amazon. that's why he's visiting the indigenous village of logwood, a prior donations only usually arrived here in the run up to elections. when

politicians are buying for boats or no day new food food, i can assure you that i have no political agenda whatsoever. beautiful as the donations we have with us only come from me, my wife and friends of the family law lozenge full to meal them. if um you the people who live by the river are suspicious. they're worried about corporations that want to exploit their land. and my lady do it domain, how many loggers are invading in here? and nike mining company is also went to my box site on our territory. we're fighting against, did it have already submitted our protests in writing to the public prosecutor's office. that who all the the villagers have gathered to hear vaulter, lima explained the purpose of his journey in all the bush. good. now that i'm not here for anything other than to make friends with you as i did, you will see i went to establish a connection between us as laconic, slowing benoit, shortly after he distributes the donations, soccer balls,

clothes and food. a dan, john pollock, yellow. so i think my goodie wants to set up a soccer club here as it fun for our kid ball and we'll make them stronger. noise ain't bought or just it bought them as a. thank you. the locals perform a dance. this means the ice is broken. bad ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. and voucher lima project can begin at in which it will say they look because i want your children and grandchildren to experience and unspoiled amazon rainforest. healy, i bought a monkey for life program and not just denote photos. amazon web was mm votter, lima wants to start holding regular training camps. here. he hopes that more sponsors will jump on board and that he'll discover new talent

from the amazon and board, the amazon that's all from us here at global $3000.00. thanks. the joining us quit always open to hearing your thoughts on the program, whatever they may be. so do you get some touch? just send an email to global 3000 at d, w dot com, or check out our facebook page d w. glad that i did see you next time. ah ah ah
