missing challenging or some are, vickie, i'm listening so much different culture between here and there. so challenging for everything. ah and to some is this. i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. shove my got my license to work as a swimming instructor on dish and our 2 children wanted donuts to swim astra. what's your story? take part. share it on info migrants dot net. ah ah, ah, ah, welcome to global 3000 polluted 3 fishing electric boats on lake victoria. the big come back,

bison a returning to the american prairie. and catastrophic di, off coral reefs on the brink of extinction. the latest report on climate change has the un sounding the alarm. many echo systems at the point of no return now and checked, carbon pollution is forcing the world's most vulnerable on a frog, marched to destruction. now, the facts are undeniable. these abdication of li, the sheep is communal. the intergovernmental panel on climate change is latest report off as a shop wake up cold. around 3.6 of the almost 8000000000 people on earth live in regions severely threatened by climate change. temperatures continue to rise. 2021 was one of the hottest years since reco it's began. global heating has dramatic consequences for people and wild xtreme weather is becoming more common. our

oceans and sees a heating up becoming more polluted and ever more acidic. can we still saved these ecosystems? we hedge beneath the waves. coral reefs are, unlike anywhere else on earth, their home to mind blowing, biodiversity, the world's reefs, are shown here with red dots. they cover less than one percent of the ocean floor, but they actually support over a quarter of all marine life considering these staggering statistics. it's easy to forget that they're actually built from tiny animals, coral polyps, corals oh, a great deal of their magic and their beautiful color to a complex cooperation between organisms. algae live in the polyps, tissues and provide nutrients to the coral in exchange for protection. but this delicate teamwork is under threat from climate change. c o 2 emissions dissolve in
1:33 am
the seas, making a waters more acidic and weakening coral skeletons. and that's not all. as global temperatures, sore, coral reefs suffer through ever more frequent and intense ocean heat. waves. extreme temperatures caused the algae to produce harmful chemicals, prompting the coral polyps to kick them out. this is coral bleaching where vibrant polyps turn white from heat stress. a process that can eventually prove fatal and global warming is already driving vast, bleaching events to day. my son is far as i told you, it's possible that his kids may never see a car reef. it really scares me to think of a world without coral rece. sherry konstantin of the nature conservancy has established a large scale conservation project in the eastern caribbean. the goal was to protect corals and other ecosystems while still enabling some tourism and fishing
1:34 am
in specific areas. the fact that the community was so involved in the designation the design of these areas, that is why it was so successful. there are also plenty of ways to enhance conservation efforts, like these take playing underwater sounds to lure back fish for one slightly surprising example. and they're is evidence that by shielding reefs from local stresses, marine protected areas, build resilience in the face of ocean acidic vacation and rising temperatures. so we have to have multiple strategies in addition to marine protected areas. this is lizzie mccloud whose global coral reefs lead at the nature conservancy. researchers like lizzie mccloud, are going one step further in the quest to help reefs resist climate change by investigating how to actually toughen coral reefs with. and so some of
1:35 am
the strategies people are using is, are taking corals that are we call express hardened, so they're better able to deal with ocean warming and actually transplanting and moving them from those areas to other areas with the hopes that they'll pass along that trait to their offspring and help the corals in that new area be better able to cope with warming. one way of doing this is to find naturally heat resistant. corals that have survived hot waters before into transplant them from one reef to another. and these aren't the only cutting edge techniques other teams are also hoping to toughen up the individual corals themselves. in my research, we are mostly focusing on increasing the tolerance of corals to heat. this is ecological geneticist, madeline van up. and she's investigating a range of approaches to make corals more resistant to rising temperatures. for
1:36 am
example, selectively breathing to toughen up the pole of animals. or alternatively, tinkering with the algae that give coral their colors. the micro, i'll get a lift inside the carl tissue. we can, they come out of the coral and most of these can be cultures in the lab. and in the lab, we can increase the rate by which the cell gate evolve. madeline back up and used this approach to create heat resists in algae, which when put back into polyps, created more heat resistant corals. so if we combine all of these approaches, is that it will we be able to save these unique ecosystems from climate change? if we implemented every tool in our tool box today from marine protected areas, reducing pollution using some of these more active interventions, stress hardening or manipulating the genetics of quarrels. it will not be enough to save cor, reeves, if we do not reduce emissions that is absolutely central. the truth is that coral
1:37 am
reefs are incredibly sensitive to warming waters in 2018. the inter governmental panel on climate change warned that even if the world limits global warming to $1.00 degrees, coral reefs could decline by 90 percent. if temperatures increased by 2 degrees, that figure is 99 percent or higher. but the world could heat up by even more than this, given our emissions path. if we don't bite to stop climate change, the fight to save coral reefs is doomed, not in the distant future, but within just a few decades. coral reefs could be the 1st ecosystem entirely lost to the climate crisis. our environmental decisions around the world, whether that's reducing plastic use or limiting global warming, could make all the difference for the future of the world's reefs.

are small and made of plastic sashes. these little packets might be handy, but they quickly land in the garbage bin and they don't roles. in all web special, we chant the journey of such a sashay from the origins of the rule materials it's made from to its ends on the rubbish heap. we find out where the number of sessions is growing and why they're so lucrative for businesses. and so disastrous for our planet. find out more at d, w dot com slash plastic lake. victoria is the biggest lake in africa, around 30000000 people live near it, and many of them depend on it for their livelihoods. but population growth has contributed to over fishing and pollution, threatening the health of the lake. but there are solutions for global ideas. our reporter eulley america, headed to kenya where local fishers are using climate friendly boats.
1:39 am
as dusk falls, jared utter know hits out on to lake victoria. since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe im exhaust fumes. and it's not as noisy either. or jenny was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to route careful, robert propeller dublin. so run it through tubes. it might order me get contact with her manila, this her string. all the gear saw removing. you'd have gum cumbersome reviews while you just do just automatic 3rd come up with some of the fishermen use solar lamps to mark out the area where they plan to cast their large net. with
1:40 am
the lights, slowly attracts the fish to the surface. then in the early morning, they pull up the next the nights are long on the lake, only after 12 hours do the fisherman returned to me again. a beach in the town of m, b t r a t n a share the proceeds of the cat with the other fisherman, after deducting expenses, he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called or silvo robertson. every morning he returns the used batteries, and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set, a silver rinse out the motors for the equivalent of around $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. a lot of money for fishermen here. martha challenge with rico and the girl left out. we had expecting jeremy to the 1st page to go potty special. so we have to look new for the adult soccer
1:41 am
microphone. pop up, the dutch started a sober, had to do a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water, the fishermen have to calling their rescue number that we can resolve on call. but sometimes when they technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that market. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency a. so we'll 1st started testing it system in 2017. but everything was delayed by
1:42 am
pandemic. in the meantime, more than 15 fishermen have signed a contract with the company in tamaqua it, every new customer receives a free training session. so it depends on the coffee table in just a few days. they learned the most important things that with her some theory. well then practice on the water to get used to the email that was closed. joshua america has been involved since the start and understands what the fisherman need. the company re, lou lou lou will need to, to do some modification online. only the list that are not the inital mortgagee cover. luka our fishermen, most of them try to go find the stars. a silver is working to improve the situation, but it's made contact with companies and kenya and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate in these like unbelief buddies will make them more duleigh,
1:43 am
said the dorsal we much, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if, if a customer to go far, we give them more bodies, then we tried this rich, i'd feed but, but to the lake you want to go far. we give you full batteries, you want to go short distance. we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. i suppose the 1st company in kenya to invest in e, mobility on water, and one of the few in general on the countries e markets. electric mobility is still in its infancy here. there are some electric cars and buses and even some e bikes. warren, on don gay rides, one of them. he's a member of a e. m. d, a, an association that provides a platform for the nearly 20 companies investing an emergency in kenya. the aim is to organize a lobby,
1:44 am
urging politicians to promote electric vehicles. people are excited about immobility, endo petite, is that he brings. it has tremendous environment of benefits. but unless we have the right incentives to allow for the final price and the value to the customer to be affordable than immobility might just as well be another illusion that will struggle. that gets towards around $25000.00, close out on lake victoria every day. and many of them belong to kenyan fishermen who used combustion engines, which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get small silver cypress from the lake. and there catch quotas have also declined in recent years. jared or tina is wife and mother take care of the catch every morning . first drawing it and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main source of income for the family of 12. they also use the money to pay the
1:45 am
school fees for their, for children. and they've even managed to build a 2nd boat. jared atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he has a plan for his family, get my father one source of sherman, then now is mere fishing. then what of my judah saw out of this one? i'm praying, god willing that my should i know to beat fishing. listen. so these to do that of us to another system does, why? now i'm so i'll put it in the discussion for friday would additional from bare b if they employ to be can change my, our life. jared, a t n o has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors. but he and a silvo are still among the pioneers of e mobility, and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to lake victoria and it's fish o

for thousands of years. the indigenous peoples of north america inhabited a vast region from coast to coast to day native americans make up just 2 percent of the us population, a small number of on reservations, most of them in poverty. now some native groups are working together to revive some of their old traditions. and that means bringing back the bison. while rounding up these bison, robbie magna needs to move fast. he's responsible for more than 50 bulls cows, yearlings, and caps for kids. don't give his animals trying to think human time to think of to hold back before
1:47 am
their journey to their new home. these animals have to pass one last health test work. he's got every day, i know how aggressive you got a view of them here at the foreign peg. reservation in montana, ranchers are preparing the bison for distribution to indigenous tribes. 3 years magnus, been working hard to ensure they can roam the prairie again. they're vitally important to many native americans. ah, he'll, he'll fight everything in here. so morgan murphy, they see that he has stretched out very fast. so you want to work on quick as possible for you know, how a heart attack, how do you try unit test m u m out? lemme go. the reservation has invested
1:48 am
a lot of money in this facility to comply with the regulations only after up to 3 years of quarantine and many blood tests are the bison permitted to be transported to other states. though the still wild animals are reluctant to let that happen. they all of your voice is done to a high view. yeah, very, very. they're telling you what you wonder they what they're testing the vices bud for brucellosis bacteria. a disease originally brought over by candle from europe, which infected native bison to a conventional cattle. don't have the bacteria, but farmers fear their cows might come into contact with bison and contract it. so there are strict rules and lots of testing. this veterinarian has a routine vein that runs down the sale that okay,
1:49 am
didn't add anything happened during whole just had one night. yeah, no, nothing would. yeah, no, yeah. each animal is meticulously documented. biologist, megan davenport of the intertribal buffalo council says there's no evidence that by st. pose a threat to cows, they've gone through 15 or 16 tests at this point in their life. there is never been a positive reef after the 1st phase of quarantine, which is literally just like the 1st female this program and there on your 3 or so now robbie magnon knows what it's like to wait for the lab results, the director of fort peck's fish and wildlife department shows us the reserves, pride and joy to herds of bison. the commercial herd brings in money through hunting licences. the other is
1:50 am
a cultural herd. only tribal members are permitted to hunt each herd as 10 square kilometers of land bordered by a fence that can withstand the basins brute force. though macklin calls these creatures buffalo, claiming only politicians or scientists say bison or the greater put us on there. we were dom, we're, you know, 100 survive as humans. so he had the buffer come up and take care of us. and they also survive many native american, c, bison as 4 legged family members who are vital to their identity. but from the cattle industries point of view, they are bad for business or re fear that buff all take their grazing honor, which is not really true because bottle was they call all year out for food. they
1:51 am
do and one day with care who were not really in competition with them. and this was big enough for both of us to live, but people won't see it. it's a big deal. and it's minus $25.00 degrees celsius. these base and come from yellowstone national park, when huge herds were slaughtered in the 19th century, a few 100 animals found refuge there. that's why genetically pure bison still exist today. oh, oh. yeah. oh gloria, except of all 4 of the old overtures and hot with just a lot better than life. the results have come back negative. no bison have brucellosis bacteria. the 1st truck is going to washington state. the 2nd to oklahoma. there's a whole family and each one with bulls, cows, and calves. it's stressful for all concerned to native american tribes hope to
1:52 am
establish their own herds with these bison. the cattle truck is the final her through buffalo are really wild, like just a year now. car and every other of these large north american animals do that. they have to be moved on tracks this way because there's no tolerance, frailty walking. they're on their own. 2 feet, 4 feet robbie magnon, dreams, that one day bison will roam free across the prairie again. he knows it's just a dream, but he's taking big risks to make it happen. both in the end, they're all safe and sound man and animal ha ha! took over, we're done. oh yeah, that the wrong journey. joke all. that should be good
1:53 am
with a traditional blessing for a good 20 hours of non stop driving. every few months they transport more by 2nd one more step in its slow return. blue. i have a global team who this week our global team comes from ivory coast with my name's i should get to the re and 15. i come from molly, but i live in ivory coast with
1:54 am
i have a little brother and sister. i like to play with my little brother and tease him that way. close. i tell him everything is super is in your household with a generally good. i like school, especially my new and good is your song. i feel good there because the teachers listened to me. these are gone on thursdays, i have online classes which help me improve my computers because i don't have that before going spicy. ah
1:55 am
some work volume in my free time. i like to watch youtube videos and funny ones, or dance videos to dance and exercise to in with securing food makes me sad in visual i, seeing all the st. kitts something. some have no family made others do but live on the streets since they have no home or money by the amazing or by the way. ah oh thank you sir. was gotten better, is that there's more freedom to express herself. but i feel my gum on me and my grandmother wasn't allowed to express herself or where what she wanted to buy this vehicle. but i can dress how i want me to go and say what i think is weird. and
1:56 am
when i get to schedule, ah, that's all from us at global 3000 this week. thanks for joining us. drop us a line at global 3000 dot dw, dot com and check us out on facebook to dw global ideas. see you next time take care. ah ah, with
