for a, you know, or this channel, we are not afraid to happen delicate topic because population is growing fast. and young people clearly have the solution. the future belongs to the 77 percent every weekend on d. w with a fundamental part of life on earth where the rain forests in added regions or in the underwater was long settled with central to life in cities

. how can we give them most space on this planet, even in places where they are difficult to pull? that's our topic to be on eco, india. hello and welcome on some of that i 1st, we had to largest ton. the western region of 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 tree 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 his tongue. the land just outside is known as marlborough, me in sanskrit that means the land of the day. but you are in the village asunder

any. a young couple is transforming the added landscape into a forested area. is the called 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 put the, the name of furniture, generate us or any image in their head. and that's why we call it the muddle one leg, the forest on the desert. it's not it, it won't be green, it's mostly brown. it's white and different. distinct and sweaty, scared during the canopy forest in the 19 thirty's, the mirage. old george boost gathered seeds of a drought resistant mexican blonde across the desert kingdom. that green lard

swedes of land, but also displaced native plants which had grown here for millions of years. in 2018, the social enterprise a forest sent their in house 3 expert and his life and work. but no doubt his tongue got up and by shall go just briefly to divide this corner of the tar desert . then 1st challenge was to get rid of the invasive blonde species introduced by the ma roger. as soon as we removed it lives, there was a specific species of grass like game knob revere beeble, calling barbara hill. and as soon as that species of grass game, we saw the word words coming. so you'll see the nasty outlet 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 dead grass. so just lie. 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 out floods are natural phenomena and they have been keep happening for millions of years. and they will be keep happening for coming millions of years. but the count dirt 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 dad landscape. madeleine is located in the middle of 2 saline desert rivers, maddie and loony. 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 ponds next to the new forest to help keep the soil hydrated. yes, this is the born bagley created. i know up 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, i will depend on irrigation. suppose if you see this ponder, the moisture level will be reaching bill. 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 would 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 mia documented or the widening technique that was invented by the japanese botanist academy of lucky, one knocked him. yeah. lucky say this to bring back the port and chill natural vegetation of that area and the potential natural vegetation of that eat this area is i will give her some grasses and tardy bush and shrub. so it's not like if you see on the albuquerque forest in southern region or central india,

it will look seem here, the trees or the communities that we are planted. it's like a cluster, so it will be just $13.00. i don't there, there will be $10.00 to $15.00 shrubs around there. there will be for $20.00 to $25.00 grasses and other ceilings that will be plenty. another key pillar of the project has been its focus on forging a connection between locals and the new forest. for instance, by dividing a defunct well inside the area designated for you by link and shedding its water with villages. when 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 video lies, the limestone helps with the filtration of the water and keeps it clean. it also helps keyboard, termites, and insects at b. 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. you'll see through f,

a t one comp allows them to live. the good years have succeeded in the groove in 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 bailey may be, isn't it thought that the never thought about connecting seeds, though? because we didn't know what big would 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 out dung. gently fighting medea's that when does bit 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. basic liam, derek. i think living in a desert is a kind of hard and odd, is to use minimum resources and a 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 vegetation, 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 very own 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 plants and cities would contribute to biodiversity. who, who, who, 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. jose and seger and ng mushed out are on a mission to safe native plants species. oh, the, i dare about 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 lot men's 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, is 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 on native plants so important? i currently recount 13000 non native plants and um the entire plan diversity is 370000 plants. so if he only supports neophytes, so the non native plants been, 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, julia 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're just one 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 are not of ours. we make our selections based very much on the design, depending on what people want, pulled up lesson to loiter. so 1st we look at what people want, i think. and then we look at the location by the because they are all really different. or if one of the funds not, then we choose the right plans. i don't question. for example, they can tolerate shade or loans. so will i tonka long or species that are able to cope with less water d 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, se, se, claudia fagan playground. and he in the garden center. they are a lot of insects. but our party latest more attractive to exotic our native plants ah, less evolved ga nissan. as of us, we here, we can't really say exactly what we see here is that insects like going to non native plants, one of london, because sometimes these plants fill the gap when native plants are taking a break, i mentioned planner and pose only on what i concept that probably makes most sense is having both variance and follicle. so native species supplemented by non need of one solution. i can think of different glendon all that class ever in the life station natural history museum. he is a specialist on invertebrates, which includes insects. the museum has around 300000 in its collection.

does he think non native plants are a problem for native insects from fetishes has come problems and it's not a problem when a new species appears division and the question is always how they fit into an existing ecosystem, who's home or 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, jo. so we don't know if there will be negative or positive impacts. sheep or no impact at all are kind of vocal up. and what about wild beasts? because couple of unrequited that depends on how good they are at dealing with changing flora. well, of course, there are generalists among wild bees in, for example, how 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 plaids, youngers, and when those plans disappear. so to the bees. phillip 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 emulates nature. but all the plans he had primarily native species liking must out until cnc gov wants ah, was excellent disciplines. mm hm. so the non native plants we have here are mainly crops slang. for example, we have situ on pepper ice pins, which can be used as a spices to go to put and we also have fig trees to why fi and we harvest the fruit one t hi miss and 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 min,

so the mix of native and non native plants seems to work well for many animals. like the dragon flies, bees and an extra garden has many advantages, but it is a lot of work. and gardeners need to be knowledgeable about the plans. it must our to enter the and see got like the natural gone. 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 new fighter would be desirable that they kind of fit into our ecosystems as well. so that in tech pollinators recognize these species, this still one big sticking point,

according to research is people's perception of what constitutes a beautiful garden needs to 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 in jewels in the education sector. you always wanted to be a farmer. again, go to reverend, be you know,

the agriculture is my passion. i did have a form once, but it wasn't profitable due provident, but that'll become 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 michael green's, michael green's, a young, edible seedlings that are grown and harvested within a month of germination, packed with nutrients there doubted as a 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 do

radishi more bigger. we have many variety of radish, red, white, and pink lemma. and sunflower be, shoot, broccoli, garbage, brad emery, anticipate like these. we could do. it dwelt pipes off. michael green on a day to benito. all of these, he grows in his green house and on the family balcony. in an area no larger than 10 square meters. he's assisted in his work by his wife and daughter. the 3 of them are able to handle the whole process from suing to delivery is little advantage, anela. the advantage in this is that in a smart place, i can grow huge quantities when the initial investment is less than a 100000 rupees. and profits are good. i can get $40.00 to $50.00 tolerant, obese per month, on average $40.00 to $50000.00 per month. when the india of agriculture sector is under pressure from low yields disappearing what resources an equal

logical damage, something with the other an experienced 1st hand in his earlier forming ventures. on the other hand, growing micro green's is straightforward and sustainable. to begin with, the planting trees are filled with warm e. com. both then seeds us on in the soil indians rose. this is followed by spring some water to start the donation process. the trees i kept in the dark for a couple of days. then they're exposed to sunlight from the 3rd the onward. what a 7 to 8 days later go to this height in 7 to 8 days. then depending on the orders we get, we harvest them out. quite again, somebody was because micheal greens can be grown in most places under the indian sun. they have the potential to supplement, would think them 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 an 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 their own 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, hera max and johan is want to find out just a few weeks ago there class. so a small prop of right here. ah, devon san fran pascal, there are already

a few shoots coming out. is the last time we were here, we couldn't see anything. we only just so the scene i got together, we got this. yeah. this gordon spoof lanes. berlin city highway. the plot spans around 10000 square meters in size and give school children the chance 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 marriage one in glen allen ot at nash darlene's. gardening schools are green, educational spaces in the city, on some of them have been around for a 100 years. how and the children can discover nature here and learn about the environment and national kinda, but it's not just children. adults can visit, we're done in solution. anyone who's interested in finding out about conservation, the environment, so that is it or just experiencing nature that can come along on that not to our fallen inclin any gotten our 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, a mid old tenement buildings from the communist era. there are community beds that anyone can tend to. and individual 40 square meter plots that cost $15.00 euros a month. chemical fertilizers and pesticides are taboo. here. tim caitler is in charge, but he's no gardener. he's a social worker. the integral to have gotten him the intercultural gardens have a distinct concept as they're open to every one. and a rooted in the neighbourhood was napa, they also boost cross cultural exchange written in the occlusal guard. but 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 volkswagen, cuba, there used to be tube kindergartens on the site after they were demolished, local residents fought to keep the space free for urban gardening to day, the work is financed mainly with public funds. shallow indians, he is tending her plan. 7 years ago, the social worker fled syria and started a new life in berlin. for her, the garden, this more than just a place to grow tomatoes. she's made friends here. last monday, muffins and sometimes we all come together to dance. i turn the music up loud and even do a bit of arabic style dancing with them. then some people say we want to learn that too, but we're all old. we can't belly dance that. well, any more, sheila, about sunset. there are several dozen community gardens in the city. many with an

intercultural focus that serves neighborhoods in ways that go well beyond gardening, dp arc roth and her husband vpn might have a new nie 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, we started it during the cold call with them because we couldn't do anything else and you 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 ceos continue the same flu, diona wrench out 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 . tenants pay around $260.00 euros per season for 45 square meters. ah, we do day cost, race and alley so. so basically last year we took out what are the things we got everything and we put it in an excel and calculate the price. and we found, actually this profit over for the children in the gardening school harvesting season is still months away. but thanks to the winter topic conifers there now experts in evergreens and their regular visits to the garden are sure to cultivate a 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 plans. strengthening biodiversity means taking action against climate change. our leave you with that and see you again next week. good bye and thanks for watching. ah ah, ah, with

who a for our house. oh, emotion, music. whatever the genre music generates happiness hormones and. 6 melancholy lose. how does it do that?

we listen. close parts 21. in 30 minutes on d w. a pulse with the beginning of a story that moves us and takes us along for the ride. it's all about the perspective. culture information. this is the that were you news and more. ah, you w me from mine's a thought. say what great a the

world cup in could talk exactly important tim version important because we are here for you with report and background information about football figures. everything you need about the 2022 will cover on d, w. mm hm.

ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. new details are merge about a far right plot to overthrow the german government. just days after 25 alleged conspirators were arrested, a closed door session of the wounded dog. here's how the group plan to build up their own armed forces to make arrests and even carry out.
