the international gatherings piece and cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrorists, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team, and immediately killed one man. and that this will be the last time i saw him like a wars fears. realize to night they're all gone out. i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this the world should not forget the long shuttle. the 1972 olympic massacre. stuart september, 3rd on d. w. ah, ah ah, welcome dick. label 3000 guessing the ball rolling on rain. first protection, the former gold miner turned suck precedent out to save the amazon and underwater
10:31 am
paradise. how c gross beds are helping protect the moldy is from erosion and the growing hunger from meat. can selective breeding or genetically modified animals may cause 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 are sources to satiate it. but the amount we consume varies greatly from one country to another. and india, an average person eats around 5 kilos of me, tonya, live 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 toll on the climate. there are ways to make it more sustainable, but not all of them are ethically so straight for ah,
10:32 am
then knowledge there mostly hand there, the pride and joy of the ab 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 sway 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 an ecological nash, where can i sit fuel generics? i can't come up with a solution. scientists working on designing more sustainable animals spies, 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,
10:33 am
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. bob, i mean, you know, if you, if you could pay the growth rate to the sizes of animals. yes, over the last 2 decades. i mean, it's been enormous increases in productivity. the hunger for more and cheaper meter milk has led to chickens that seemed fully grown at 20 days. double muscled cattle and pigs borne 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 flip side to such fake production to animals that live in horrific
10:34 am
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. meat production has increased fivefold 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 al food is disastrous for the planet. that's why some research as the trying to improve livestock sustainability, either by selective breeding or by artificially changing the company. aqua bounty from us is that they're genetically modified. fish is more sustainable than traditionally produce salmon. they introduced to genes from other wild fish to
10:35 am
create what they call aqua advantage salmon. the super salmon is 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. enrique here at cbs. there's a lot of things that is, that 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 decisions saw heavy backlash from civil society and environmental groups. they, it,
10:36 am
the company to caught theirs with adams highlighting this to be genetically engineered salmon bleed with wild. that within a couple generations, bio salmon 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 will industries is key for the
10:37 am
country's own net 0 target. we basically discovered 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 feed. and we can 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 and productive 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 nest, 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 offices, then not sold. the institute is traveling the country,
10:38 am
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 to. currently the only genetically engineered animals approved for consumption are found in the us and canada. b, 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
10:39 am
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 wood, and ever expanding cities. but there are also other reasons for species loss such as disease or increasingly plant poaching. as our next report from south africa reveals no macro land is a semi desert, a north western south africa with extreme heat and barely any rain. anything that grows here needs to be hardy, like these unusual looking succulents,
10:40 am
known as living stones. their limits had water source comes from to you that forms between the quartz stones and mist from the air. they grow slowly, some living for hundreds of years. alas, in a goblin the eucharistic or by this is a plant that can really withstand a great deal lively in file. it can survive with very little water in with almost no rain. see quakers this one is under strides, which you can see by the markings and colors. this is this degree. it's all about survival in this dry environment. the idea the ranges 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
10:41 am
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 in 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 pharma. 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 a farm sustainably. and he knows the importance of these succulents to the ecosystem. if they disappear, the whole system could collapse. the soil will
10:42 am
a road, the land will turn to desert the poach as a putting everything at risk. das mesa, right? see there are people who say that the poaching of rhinos or abalone is, is nothing compared to what's happening here. but lemon. as of right, it's so bad that it will change the way that people live here in are does be, is a home you mays of my closest neighbor lives, your team kilometers away and unfair. the poachers are threatening my safety, vermont. we're usually out here all alone on our land a. so what are, what are your file? i go more have it on. on poachers are becoming more common, says vsa police are also armed to protect the plants and the pharmacy major, but the aren't enough of them to cover such a vast area. here and spring box, police are planning a road block this evening. we head into the house of the semi desert. the
10:43 am
poachers used to come from abroad, but since the cove travel restrictions more locals have taken over. they know the area better and how the police work. things are not going well this evening for corrode you twice. and his team, the trap didn't detect a single vehicle. after a few hours they call the operation, but they're still determined to be the members are positive and they're due to a dirt to stop poaching. it's is a really man miss. i like to night. the great 9 people a year and a member from my unit, they are really bosses of you can see the if they put in the it's kim are good overnight success. but they are really willing me to commit the commit the bocce a few kilometers farther south. his colleagues have had better success. they've made 2 arrests by 9 30 am seizing bags containing thousands of plans. a poacher is waiting to be questioned. i was outside,
10:44 am
the captain is already on the phone. about the next case, i will just and carol, do toya has been summoned to trial as a witness where the perpetrators could face prison. also we talk about real dis, the flight grievance circumstances the see what maximum management will get to we open to get imprisonment. died again, but as a man to just give a message out to the people as you really, it's not worth the poaching. 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 billions. unlike endangered african animals, plants don't have a strong lobby behind them. the damage to the regions, biodiversity and ecosystem is irreparable, in issue, that still attracts far too little attention. new chance that grow under water also need protecting, like sea grass meadows anchored to the seafloor. this valuable ecosystem also
10:45 am
absorbs carbon dioxide. for our series global ideas, we dived into the fascinating underwater worlds of the mold eaves. all the islands assholes of the multi. it's unknown world wide for that crystal clear waters and coral reefs. they're also home to another, incredibly bio diverse and important ecosystem. c cross meadows. shahan shame is amal devion, ocean conservationist working to bring this overlooked ecosystem to light. looks like there's a big, a huge patch of c grass actually segmented. dumping 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
10:46 am
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 all kids and lilies helps bind the sand together and prevent erosion. a major challenge for an island country like the mold eaves, 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
10:47 am
educating his guest 3 talks and guided snorkeling to his with marine biologists to showcase the environments natural biodiversity. c, grasses 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 motifs 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
10:48 am
understand how much carbon these marine ecosystems are storing, which would help mitigate against climate change. see gross 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 figures because it's more efficient or they're live in this he r t grass and they will get some food and we have to keep the fish until big a big. so i didn't know fisherman can catch the big fish and eat it, and it's very important for the re fisherman's or so darcy grass. so of you have to protect the sea grass. the government now plans to put sea grass meadows under protection. and many of the countries resorts have also pledged to protect over
10:49 am
1000000 square meters of sea cross across the mall div this could mean less drastic interventions in the future. it is thought that up to 30 percent of see growth habitats have been lost over the last century. but it also seems that these ecosystems are resilient. the maldives underwater initiative has tracked the meadows at the resort and identified that they've increased in size by over 20 percent in the last 3 years alone. the addresses are absolutely essential for the future of the more given islands. to get there with coral reefs and men group, say aggressive play a really important role in protecting the island from outside forces. eroding forces thanks to increased awareness of the importance of secrecy for the survival of the maltese and times of climate change. the research is hope
10:50 am
action will be taken to better protect these beautiful marine meadows. the amazon rain forest is crucial for biodiversity and the earth's climate system. but its being torn down at an ever faster pace. environmentalists fear the destruction of this vital rain forest could reach a new hi in 2022. but there are some small initiatives providing hope in the middle of the lush forest of the amazon delta flies 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 ship. the club is dedicated
10:51 am
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, regina jessica, flushing the well being seen the brit. i've said no to sponsors who didn't mate my ethical standards ovalo from they were shady, for example, there was a timber explorer who i didn't want as a sponsor to add on. my dear mother did amazonia, 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. bush misses you got in the dos. i used to be a gold mine and myself will they then i quote,
10:52 am
malaria and stuff located will see. 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 enchanting, like birth or upstream, and the tranquil provincial capital of santa rem. it's from here that volta 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, with thieves. wisdom. like almost the edge i keep, i planned to go upstream on the amazon tributary ira opinions like this. i want to donate some materials to an indigenous community that, that establish
10:53 am
a base for my soccer club on amazonia in the bed. and chair wasn't the financial 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 wide. they're taking with them not only soccer balls and jerseys, but also a message of environmental protection. though so often wished to so much my clothes, amazonia, into bed, and 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, he did not believe, isabel since his time, as a gold miner of author has been worried about the destruction of the amazon. that's
10:54 am
why he's visiting the indigenous village of lago de prior donations. only usually arrive here in the run up to elections. when politicians are buying for boats or no daily 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, off 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 dado it domains how many loggers are invading near holding? nike mining company is also went to my box site on our territory. we are fighting against did it have already submitted our protest in writing to the public prosecutor's office? that is full vehicle. the villagers have gathered to hear vaulter, lima explained the purpose of his journey. you know the bush good now that i'm not
10:55 am
here for anything other than to make friends with you as i did, you will see. i went to establish a connection between asthma cornet slowing benoit, shortly after he distributes the donations, soccer balls, clothes and food. a dan, john pollock dealer. so i think my goodie wants to set up a soccer club here. it's a it fun for our kids all. and will make them stronger. noise ain't bought, are interested paul. now sam, as a thank you. the locals perform a dance. this means the ice is broken. i thought i thought i meant oh and dr. lee must project can begin at an which it will say they will because i want your children and grandchildren to experience and unspoiled amazon rainforest. silly, i've wanted more life and not just denote photos animals when you're from web was nevada. lima wants to start holding regular training camps. here. he hopes that
10:56 am
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 for joining us. we're 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, but i did see you next time. ah, [000:00:00;00]
