ah, a fundamental part of life on earth, where the rain forests in added regions or in the underwater wood long settled, so essential to life in cities. how can be give them no space on this planet even in places where they are difficult to prove that topic to be on eco, india. hello. welcome on some of that i 1st we had to largest hon. the western region of this indian state is struggling with massive droughts. the process of desertification continues. a revolving project wants to fight against this. with a specific planting technique and native trees species,

they want to revive an organic bio diverse ecosystem there with positive effects for the locals who will benefit from the forest produce. ah, this is george bush, double the sun city of the state of august hon. the land just outside is known as marlborough, me in sanskrit, that means the land of the day. but here in the village asunder, sidney a young couple is transforming the added landscape into a forested area. is the call forest everything. imagine everyone imagines like it's all green, which will be like that it will be green wall kind of thing. and that's not how the forest exist, he up. so the potential naturally vegetation of this a space was mostly grasslands and shrub lands and tarney wishes. we wanted to,

we like when we buy the, the, the name of furniture generate us, our denny image in their head. and that's why we call it the model one like the forest on the desert. it's not it, it won't be green, it's mostly brown. it's white and defend, distinct and sweaty, scared. darned! a canopy for it is in the 19 thirty's, the mirage. old george boost gathered seeds of a drought resistant mexican blonde across the desert kingdom. that green lock swedes of land, but also displaced native plants which had grown here for millions of years. in 2018, the social enterprise of forest sent their in house 3 expert and his life and work . but no doubt, his tongue god of and by shall go just briefly to divide this corner of the 3rd desert. their 1st challenge was to get rid of the invasive land species introduced by the mar rajo. as soon as we removed the zone, there was a specific species of grass like game knob revere beeble,

calling barbara hill. and as soon as that species of grass game resolve, you edwards cummings, you'll see the nest here at right in front of me. there's a whole bunch of colony off of you are birds that come here and weaver birds make the their nest only using like grass. so just like removal of non native species, the ecosystem started to bounce back. it started to come back. the next step was to make the topsoil more resilient. with dean visit plant gone, it was necessary to plant local species that could help against seasonal flooding. this is a flood plain area because floods, album, floods are natural phenomenon. they have been keep happening for millions of years and they will be keep happening for coming millions of years. but the counter to them in the ecosystem or the landscape, what these are species like beer and key. it's a very, very deep rooted species which would hold the soil. it wouldn't allow the liquid vacation of then that landscape. madeline is located in the middle of 2 saline

desert rivers, maddie and looney. neither of which could be used to cultivate a desert forest. the conservationist needed to create a reliable water resource to region receives around $200.00 millimeters of monsoon drains every year. the go just decided to harvest that precipitation and dug up bonds next to the new forest to help keep the soil hydrated. yes, this is the born bagley created. i know up. so it was in a way that we wanted to, to high one, nick, the walk of bonds and canals on this entire line. so we don't have to depend on needing ation. suppose if you see this bond, you're the moisture level will be reaching bill here. so if we are able to clear these kinds of bonds on our side, we would be having several moisture zones. and based on that vegetation we would also be blunting them. some of the vegetation will also come on their own based on this a moisture levels. over the span of 4 years,

a forest has regenerated nearly 40 native blind species in this desert ecosystem. by adapting the popular miyazaki method, or the widening technique that was invented by the japanese botanist academy of lucky, one knocked on yell ok. he says this to bring back the potential natural vegetation of that area. and the potential natural vegetation of that eat this area is i will leave her some glasses and 30 percent strep. so it's not like if you see on the albuquerque forest in southern region or central india, it will look same here, the trees or the communities there we are blunted. it's like a cluster, so it will be just $13.00. around there there will be $10.00 to $15.00 shrubs around that there will be for $20.00 to $25.00 grasses and other ceilings that we've learned. another key pillar of the project has been its focus on forging a connection between locals and a new forest. for instance, by reviving a defunct, well inside the area designated for you by link and shedding its water with

villages. but lucas discovered the project had benefits for them. it brought them on board. ma'am? yes ma'am. nick junior. plaster canning a bad moment. after blustering the velvet limestone, we realized the limestone helps with the filtration of the water and keeps it clean . it also helps keyboard termites and insects at be, you know, the limestone helps distilled of water from the ground level as well as we have created a layer of limestone, to right above the bottom of the well before the water to see through the j one comp last them to live. the good years have succeeded in recruiting the villages as guardians of the fast spreading forest. they've trained groups of women to spot the difference between and visit and native species so that they can play an active role ensuring the project success

if barely may be, isn't it though it appeared that the never thought about collecting seeds, though, because we didn't know what they could be used for that, but now that we have been trained how to identify and gather the right seeds and to store them properly or yet they can be used for this forest. i'm a cut up either. here the women are creating a gathering place for villages in the forest of eagles landing ha, now that is being prepared as but tradition by a blank, ga dung and cli, fighting medea's that when does but water create a comfortable temperature in the desert heat. as draining coordinator, marsha, georgia has also launched initiatives that use local materials in creative ways to promote local arts and craft skills. basically in there it, i think living in a desert is a kind of hot nod, is to use minimum resources and have maximum output. and have learned from the locals, he'll how he can live happily and be said sustained event in an environment like this could good with muddle one is an example of how degraded ecosystems can be

revived to a holistic approach that brings water, soil, medation, wildlife, and people into the equation as it takes root, the forest is already valued by the local community, which cares for this ecosystem as if it were its value land. as one result of climate change, we're seeing a global decline in biodiversity. also in industrialized countries, the number of different plant species is decreasing. how can we stop this process? especially in urban areas, in germany, scientists are investigating how the cultivation of native blanson's cities would contribute to biodiversity. who, who, who, oh, what are 2 biologists doing in the garden center when they don't even have gardens, or they're looking for what's on offer for gardens and balconies. just an seager

and being mushed out are on a mission to safe native plants species. oh, the, i dare of our concept is that we want to harness the enormous potential of the millions of green areas that we have in germany and other countries like germany. so we have gardens and lockman sidewalks balconies. it's all spaces where there are people living intimately with these spaces where people are interested in planting things in the spaces. and what we want to do is redirect those efforts towards native plants that are threatened at risk of declining already are declining. it's mostly native plans, the cultivated and urban areas around the world. it could help to slow the decline of biodiversity. but why is the focus a native plants so important? ah,

currently recount 13000 non native plants and the entire plan diversity is 370000 plants. so if he only supports neophytes, so the non native plants, then we only support a small fraction and these plans are already managed very well to disperse. so they are not addressed where as many native plants are at risk in germany, around 30 percent of native plans are endangered. landscape architect claudia fig. until you go works with trees, shrubs and flowers. in her experience, customers don't usually ask for a native or exotic plants. they just want hardy plans that are resistant to disease and easy to care for. and what does she prefer to plant here? real naturally. sh shawn. they are dog knocked out of ours. we make our selection space very much on the design, depending on what people want food. most delroy does. so 1st we look at what people

want, i think. and then we look at the location by that because they are all really different . or if one of the fans knows, then we choose the right plans. i don't question. for example, they can tolerate shade or loans. so will i tonic along or species that are able to cope with less water e placement venue offered? select con, it boils down to a mix of native and non native plants. when people do ask about native plants, they usually mean plans that will support insects and birds, and se, se, claudio faking playground. and he, in the garden center, they are a lot of insects, but are putting latest more attractive to exotic or native plants ah, less evolved conasauga as a leslie here, i can't really say exactly what we see here is that insects like going to non native plants one of london because sometimes these plans fill the gap when native plants are taking a break i mission plan. oh,

i know post eileen on what i concept that probably makes most sense is having both variants in follicle. so native species supplemented by non native one solution. i can think of different glendon all that class ever in the life seat natural history museum. he is a specialist, the invertebrates, which includes insects. the museum has around 300000 in its collection. does he think non native plants are a problem for native insects? when fetishes can problems and it's not a problem when a new species appear as division. and the question is always how they fit into an existing ecosystem whose home and that is very difficult to predict in advance line, of course, because in a new ecosystem, will they encounter many species of animals and plants that they are not prepared for sized meals. so we don't know if there will be negative or positive impacts or

no impact at all or kind of feel cool. and what about wild beasts? because combo of unrequited, that depends on how good they are at dealing with changing flora. of course, there are generalists among wild bees in, for example, many bumblebees can use a wide variety of plans for food. but there are also many beeson bumblebees that cannot. they depend on a small number of plans, youngers, and when those plans disappear. so to the bees, philip dorski is also a biologist, and he too, is concerned about protecting biodiversity. what looks like a garden where nature has been left to its own devices. it's actually the result of gardening that emulate nature. but other plans here, primarily native species liking, rushed out until the unsee got one i was actually just plunging. the non native plants we have here are mainly crops slung for example. we

have some issue on pepper pins which can be used as a space go for and we also have fig trees provide and we harvest the fruit one. so on the high mission flower, native plants are primarily for the animals. so like these wild areas here by the pond to a non flashing job, it's much present ties. but of course i know there are also native plants that we use. like ment i spoke to you mincer. the mix of native and non native plants seems to work well for many animals. like these dragon flies, bees and isn't an extra garden have many advantages, but it is a lot of work. and gardeners need to be knowledgeable about the plans. it must out into the and figure like the natural garden. but does it live up to the idea of god that supports native plants and ecosystems?

i think the best ratio is probably to have between 10 to 20 percent non natives new fights and the rest 80 to 90 percent native species. and especially for the neophyte that would be desirable that they kind of fit into our ecosystems as well. so that in tech pollinators recognize these species, there's still one big sticking point, according to research, as people's perception of what constitutes a beautiful garden needs the change. but maybe it's helpful to know that a garden with such a mix of plants could better survive climate change. now to group plans, you need space, but that's not available everywhere in cities. the cultivation of micro greens could be a good alternative for me in your own home and these vegetable feeling and also

a very healthy source of food. we took a look around, chin. i met some people following this trend. aah! 56 year old with the other end lives in a residential neighborhood of to night. even though he spent most of his life working with n deals in the education sector. you always wanted to be a farmer. again, go to wherever you know the agriculture is my passion. i did have a form once, but it wasn't profitable due provident, but that will become the high investments and costs and running his farm outside chin. i meant he had to quit farming, but he was still unwilling to give up on his dream. during his research on alternative farming methods, he came across micro greens, micro greens, a young edible seedlings that are grown and harvested within a month of germination fact with new trends there doubted as at beastie super food

that can be easily cultivated and restrictive environment. nasa has been testing ways to grow micro greens in space flight to give astronauts a nutritional boast on long exploration missions. micro greens have been a popular salad topping in the united states and other countries for decades and are now increasingly finding their v onto restaurant menus in indian cities to radish her more edgar, we have many variety of radish heard, white and pink lemma, and sunflower be should broccoli, garbage, red cameron, piercing like these? we could do? it dwelt pipes off. michael green, benedetto, benito, all of these, he grows in his green house and on the family balcony. in an area, no larger than 10 square meters is assisted in his work by his wife and daughter. the 3 of them are able to handle the whole process from suing to delivery

level advantage. anela. the advantage in this is that in a monthly's i can grow huge quantities on the initial investment is less than a $100000.00 rupees. and profits are good. i can get $40.00 to $50.00 tolerable bees per month on average, $43000.00, but amongst them again, wonder india as agriculture sector is under pressure from low yields disappearing water resources, and ecological damage. something video that an experienced 1st hand in his earlier farming renters. on the other hand, growing micro green's is straightforward and sustainable. to begin with, the planting trees are filled with rummy compost than seeds are sworn in the soil indians rose. this is followed by spain some water to start the domination process . the trees are kept in the dark for

a couple of days than they had exposed to sunlight from the 3rd beyond woods. what is 7 to 8 this little girl to this height in 7 to 8 days. then depending on the orders we get, we harvest them order a call to get the money on whispering because michael greens can be grown in most places. under the indian sun. they have the potential to supplement board the income of drawers and then you attrition needs of a growing population. the dad that and delivers his fresh, michael green's to high and restaurants, and individual consumers. demand is picking up, offering the potential for new business opportunities, not just in janay, but across the country. from growing small seedlings to open gardening in germany's capital, many people in berlin really appreciate being able to grow and harvest. there were plants within the city and to share knowledge with others about plants as well.

children also learn a lot about this as part of the environmental education in schools, even in the cold season. how's the school vegetable patch doing after last night? snowfall cora shira max and johan is want to find out just a few weeks ago there class sold a small crop of raw here. ah, devon son ran past louder already a few shoots coming out. is that the last time we were here? we couldn't see anything. we only just so the scene, i guess that's tab, we got this. yeah. this good news, goof, links, berlin city highway. the plot spans around 10000 square meters in size and gives school children the hands to discover their green thumbs. there are plenty of trees, a small vineyard, ponds and lots of things to explore all year round. he got an hour to include the land ot at nest islands. gardening schools are green,

educational spaces in the city, on some of them have been around for a 100 years. so all of the children can discover nature here and learn about the environment and national cannot, but it's not just children. adults can visit to dom in solution. anyone who's interested in finding out about conservation, the environmental acquisition, or just experiencing nature that can come along on that. now to a fallen gland in you got an hour to income. today's lesson is about conifers. the children's school is very close by. they visit every month to learn about a wide variety of topics. the gardening school is financed by the city. though it's not open to the general public, anyone can attend its educational events. that in contrast to this project in the cities east, it's called an intercultural community garden. we visited a few months ago at harvest time. i'm an old tenement buildings from the communist

era. there are community beds that anyone can tend to. and individual 40 square meter plants that cost $15.00 euros a month. chemical fertilizers and pesticides are taboo year. tim caitler is in charge, but he's no gardener. he's a social worker. the entire quote around getting him. then intercultural gardens have a distinct concept as they're open to every one and a rooted in the neighbourhood would 1st lap. and they also boost cross cultural exchange in dakota. read about it out of the if we cooperate closely with neighborhood institutions like refugee accommodations, the preschool next door, or the elementary school across the road on a cultural again. goober, there used to be 2 kindergartens on the site after they were demolished. local residents fought to keep the space free for urban gardening. today, the work is financed mainly with public funds. lou saint louis nancy, is tending her plan. 7 years ago,

the social worker fled syria and started a new life in berlin. for her, the garden is more than just a place to grow tomatoes. she's made friends here much money muffins, and sometimes we all come together to dance. and as i turn the music up loud and even do a bit of arabic style dancing with us, then some people say we want to learn that too. but we're all old. we can't belly dance that well, any more feel about that. there are several dozen community gardens in the city. many with an intercultural focus that serves neighborhoods in ways that go well beyond gardening deeply, aka roth and her husband vps might have a new ne opted for a more pragmatic garden concept. the 2 software engineers from india have rented a garden on the outskirts of the city just a few minutes by bite, from their home. from april to november. they can be found harvesting their

vegetable patch. ready ah, and he started it during the co co with them because we couldn't do anything else and your can from home. so this was a nice way to go out of the house and do something because we couldn't do anything as recurring travel. so and the serious continue the same. leona ran south gardens in and near large cities at almost 30 locations around germany. farmers till the field in spring than the transverse trips are rented out, tenens pay around $260.00 euros per season for 45 square meters. ah, we did a cost race analysis. obviously last year we took out what of things we got everything and reported in an excel and calculate the price. and we found actually this profit to were for the children in the gardening school harvesting season is

still months away. but thanks to the winter topic conifers, there are no experts in evergreens and their regular visits to pardon are sure to cultivate and knowledge and appreciation of nature that they can draw on long after they leave school. 2 2 ah, as we just saw with the school children, it's never too early to realize how important it is for our future to preserve a wide variety of floods. strengthening biodiversity means taking action against climate change. i'll leave you with that and see you again next week. good bye, and thanks for watching. ah,

with ah ah, with a in good shape. let's talk about sex a perfectly healthy activity as long as you keep a few things in mind. using such as medication, how it works,

and what it does with in good shape in next d w. for this christmas case, people would gladly go to jail. an attorney is a long standing tradition in italy, and some of the nation's best come from a bakery at a maximum security prison in padre, a confection that's enjoyed by all in italy, the cake from jail, your ro, max. in 60 minutes on d, w. o you become a pre climate. oh, ready news with about hackers?

generalizing the tour societies. computers that oh sure you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for. and that's how they can also go terribly watch it now new to on the will chime in is greece, at least in the bedroom. greeks of having sex, an average of $164.00 times a year. that's according to a survey commissioned by a condom manufacturer. in 2nd place brazilians have sex $148.00 times a year. in japan, the average is just.
