oh, so many cool places to discover the tricky um, maybe in 30 minutes on good w. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list with no magic corner tread hotspot for food and some great cultural memorials to boot w travel off. we go with. what can be done to reduce the farms? carbon footprint. the commas to farmer manage his fields. what should he feed his livestock? one farm. it shows us the way. how do cows perceive their surroundings? what do they see and feel? how should people approach them?

and animal filmmaker dawns beyond losses to view the world through cows. eyes. why, i'll flora! does manatees threatened with extinction? what's causing their numbers to dwindle? is something missing? a marine biologist analyzes the water quality in the everglades to find out. ah hello and welcome to tomorrow to day the d. w. sign show easy. agriculture may be responsible for some 15 percent of current global warming levels. according to a study by new york's columbia university. it estimates that food production alone could cause the us climate to warm by almost one degree by the year. $2100.00 me fame is largely to blame. this greenhouse gas is produced in the gut of ruminant

live stock, chiefly cows. we present a farmer his trying to reduce his dairy farms. carbon footprint. christa cookin is a farmer who is constantly trying to improve in elaborate agricultural management process. not just to provide healthy feed for his cattle, but also to improve the quality of the soil underneath that we are grass white, clover red, clover and herbs species. diversification is very important for humus. build up, the bacteria don't feed on just one thing. humus building can only work with biodiversity. ah, whom is building is just one part of his elliptic system. and the cattle are at the center. twice a day, they move to another paddock with tall grass. and it has to be done at precisely the right time. the stalks are fresh,

juicy food for the animals. everything is coordinated from the size of the area to the number of cattle and time. the grass and the paddock needs to be flattened down but not stripped bare. if i had left them there for just one day longer, they would have eaten all the grass up, which might not be a bad thing, but that's not what i want to happen. i want to preserve em mulch layer here. the soil beneath the dead, flattened stalks, is always moist. the cattle contribute to this cycle by using their host to stomp on the grass, which causes the amount of hummus in the soil to increase. then organisms cause the bio mass to decompose, binding with the carbon that plants consume from the atmosphere via photosynthesis . until the host is turning hummus accumulation into a source of income. christopher could can, has decided to participate in a private certificate trading scheme for each additional ton of c. o. 2, that he binds, using hummers build up, he will receive 30 euros. the trader cells,

the certificates to regional companies that advertise their commitment to climate protection. but how is hummus buildup measured? push lock and lock is ticker. that's why it's measured per field, which is around $2.00 to $4.00. hector's 25 soil samples are taken from a depth of 25 centimeters and measured for g. p. s. i don't know where the samples were taken from, otherwise i would throw a heap of compost on each spot. after 3 years, we'll take more samples from the exact same spots than will know whether humans has accumulated as my doctor was asked about. a modernist soil is a huge c o 2 reservoir and that means carbon farming has a lot of potential to combat climate change. at the same time, agriculture is also a major c o 2 emitter. the scientists at the tune and institute in brown spike have done the math decline, causing that very biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture are

nitrogen, nitrogen fertilization, which leads to nitrous oxide, and cattle which am it methane, cattle and cows and drained pizza oils. that used to be pete bugs that are now used as farm land and grass land together. these are mit around 100000000 tons of c o. 2 per year in germany. i and iceland carbon farming with humus buildup could compensate for 3 to 5000000 tons of this. making yet climate neutral, which shows that it's not just enough to build up humus. we also need to address these 3 major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. and fun typos gus in his yawn, cris dot toot can, is doing exactly that using natural feed editors such as the horn pod, clover and rib work planting that grows in his meadows and pastures. he is reducing methane emissions from his cattle. he tries to ensure that as much climate damaging gas is captured as possible. this straw, for example,

collects count the newer in the barn. this maneuver plays a central role and hundreds, an soil management. this is our cattle mature and it's one of the essentials in our humans accumulation was off and to convert them the newer into humus, which causes the bacteria and fungi to proliferate considerably. we can use this compost to inoculate our soil later on. it takes weeks from a new are to become good comp, hearst, the process as labor intensive and time consuming, but it is central to sustainable agriculture. cris dot hood can, hasn't used a plow on his farm since 2018. because breaking up his soil loses humph. in the process, when the compost is ready, then come the next steps that we use this to inoculate the soil and plants which then perform photosynthesis and eliminate carbohydrates from their routes. which then feed the bacteria and fungi in the compost of to that they can continue to

multiply. and that's what creates the humus most will his conversion be successful . his green yields continue to fluctuate wildly. is, is this cloud up? the light is not clear whether these methods will actually succeed in accumulating humus, exposing farmers to a degree of risk. they have to pay in advance for the human analysis and then hope that a 2nd analysis, 3 or 5 years later, will actually produce more humorous and which the certificates can compensate them for. but that's not a guaranteed that this will actually work. glasses of i missed his act, the surplus function, yet for christa to can, the certificates are a secondary concern for now. he has also begun to shift the way he practices agriculture because as an organic farmer, he doesn't use any fertilizers made from synthetic minerals. instead, he works with so called under sun crops,

plant hybrids that he sots in the greenfield. ah, when the grain matures, it turns green again down here. and when we harvest the grain, what's left is a green lawn once again. so that's why the meadow here become so green later on. this field is also designed to create humming a report from the 1st 3 year period is available, which lists the increases and decreases and hummus plot by plot. wherever there's slurry, we've had a decrease in humus and wherever there's compost, we've had an increase. we've collected 1500 tons of c o 2 using humorous accumulation. i honestly didn't expect that much using compos to enrich soil adjustments that have paid off for this farmer. and for the climate, dick house always do just what they told. no cows are highly complex,

social and st. he and beings. even if through other breathing we've transformed them into milt. machines with huge out is that can give up to 50 leases of milk per day. cows had a mind of their own. they cultivate friendships and have finely tuned senses. so to get along with them, you need to understand them. a young love life filmmaker is that a good mine on this gum and a new person. my name is commander lopez and i'm 19 years old. i'm a wildlife filmmaker and photographer so i'd like to understand animals better. wild animals interest me as well as photogenic unlikable ones like cows. but i'm not quite sure how to approach them is coma. how should i communicate to the cal that i come in pisa? what does it mean when they lowered their head is how can i politely get a cow to do something? what does mu mean?

i am going to an organic farm near bayman to find out these dairy cows belong to a farmer. how are ya? camina benito visor is visiting as well. he's going to show me how cow see the world for english one. i'm excited. let's see how cow see the world. lou. okay, here we go. first i bent my head the way a cow does when it graces looking for indian. ok. so there's only a very small range that's actually in focus. some be in the air filters. all i know what we built into the app is a wide field of vision, a 30 degree visual focus ahead and ability to estimate distance right and left. but in the periphery, it's very blurry. corresponding to about 30 percent of our visual acuity. this field of vision allows cows grazing and meadows to get their bearings.

but things get more complicated when they're inside their sheds. farmer high a cabinet is going to try out seeing the cow shed the way his cows do. who shit, you young cove toys to smack the cow sticks its head through here because it's curious. so if i try to do that spatially, it's hard for me to figure out height. that's why i'm bent over like this. otherwise i'd bang my head, but i'm having difficulty gauging with here. it's all very blurry by having this panoramic perspective makes it very hard on the trees. others doesn't, i'm like, oh my god, only carla vit is here. very sh village finish. okay, how was it? very interesting trying it in the meadow was one thing, another trying it here in the stable cows don't see the world the way we do that. something we need to bear in mind as for how to get cows to go in a particular direction. that's something to be learned later. first things 1st

must be what does move mean will be, where are you or i'm here, or i'm hungry, hold on a couple more. when you've worked with cows or wiles, if you start to recognize that different mood, pitches who, largo oh, move is often one of the many signals of a particular phase in the reading seasons fastened at once. how to cows communicate between themselves, just with moose, yonder. as it of alameda county, most communication between cows is nonverbal. a bull that is defending its position will show its broadside when you or lower its head, to show off its horns. to demonstrate that it's a threat at night and comp, wonderland, aqona and spirits of being, it's put in serious a dormitory hoof guys mar in the state of harrison's outback. we meet an expert on

bovine body language. for could differ. he shows farmers how to deal with their herds, to avoid stress and avoid accidents. today though he's teaching an amateur me how do i convey that i come in peace, fiscal the st. well, it starts with how you arrive in the meadow. don't ever yell or wave your arms about carol can't recognize fluid movements high. and so if you're at the gate waving your arms around, you'll start to stretch them out for pelham. just us with us, lynch and after sled for 2 men. and if so, how would they respond to the way i'm behaving now? literally you obviously well i think your voice is com and the main thing is to keep your movements calm, to eagle, into the fema, her st. oh. as though it wasn't, i'm going to try and round them up. let's see if it works up. i'm trying to get the

cows moving calmly steadily. the way i've been told, but they're not remotely interested. ah, that's what you did. well, you understood the techniques and went about it in a common steady fashion and didn't try to rush it was super big. wasn't to say it's a big list in my not bad then. but now, folk or tipple has another task driving the black cows, just the black ones out of the enclosure, the brown ones are supposed to remain inside. ah, 1st of all, they get rounded up. then they're divided into 2 groups. oops,

one stray brown cow strays into the wrong group. we can live with that. so look what we've done is these ones are here. they didn't start to panic because we avoided things getting hectic lives. so what we did was we steered them using their shoulder points about it. we approached their top vertebrae sideways on so that it turns its head in my direction. i don't and when i increase the pressure, it will usually go in the direction that the head is turned towards any sunday. oh, the talk a who got this in my file in what i love with the coffin, psych cows have a personal zone. if you enter it, the cow will try to get out of your way. so that's how you can steer them. this is where you want the cow to go. imagine a line running sideways from their shoulders and then enter their personal zone behind it and nudge the cow forwards. leave the zone as soon as you can, thereby rewarding the cow. as soon as you cross the line,

it stops moving. if you stay there, it changes direction. just how close you need to get to it is up to you and the cow as each animal responds differently. ah, farmers aren't the only ones who need to pay attention to cow behavior. if animals get worried, they can pose a bit of a thread, even to passers by. but if you treat cadel respectfully and try to see the world from their perspective, you'll get on just fine. that's what i learned from my day on the farm. biodiversity has probably declining more rapidly than previously thought. meaning significantly more plants and animals species are threatened. that's the conclusion

of a survey of scientists from around the globe headed by the university of minnesota . the said, i found that one in every 3 species could be endangered or extinct by the year. 2100. 1 species that's already under threat is the north american manatee. over a 1000, manatees died in florida last year alone. the everglades at the southern tip of florida, the biggest stretch of subtropical wetlands in the us. this fresh water marshland is teeming with life. the everglades are a habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. the region is home to extraordinary biodiversity including mana cheese. their population had been recovering after years and decline

2 years ago. researchers counting around 8000 of the marine mammals here. but since then, there's been an unprecedented number of managed fatalities for 10 years. paul stewart or captain policies known around here, has been taking visitors on tours of the everglades. he knows better than any one where to find manatees over her little ripple in the water. but the gentle giant disappears quickly. oh, you're down the canal and come back to to this one, steward steers the boat through the mangrove forest in the western everglades. he thinks we'll see him at this environment truly has not changed in, in visual for about 40000 years. and he's looking for food,

it's low tide manages aren't the only endangered species here. there are now 3000000000 fewer birds in the us and canada than there were 50 years ago. over the past 10 years, we're seeing lesson less birds. we're seeing a great reduction of mammals, small males that 80 percent of the scandals are gone very concerning. the disruption of this echo system would be a terrible loss. these trees give off as much oxygen as a rain forest. they absorb as much carbon as a rain force and to have all this change or, or be destroyed. i think if we would suffer dramatically with climate change, the human population of florida is booming. all the new arrivals need somewhere to live. new housing developments,

or encroaching on the natural landscape. then we spot and alligator. it's about 10 porter, $10.00 to $12.00 foot, one of the biggest alligators i've seen down here. that doesn't alter the fact that this unique ecosystem is under threat. and yet humans will the future right now, we better get on it because times run it out. there really is no manager sightings to day. we head over to the other side of the everglades to visit professor bryan lapointe, one of florida's leading ocean researchers and an expert on this fragile ecosystem . last year we lost over a 1000 manatees. it was a record year for manatee mortalities. and a lot of that was due to the starvation of the manatee, due to the fact that the sea grasses had all but disappeared. manatees are

continuing to die at an alarming rate. that's due in part to pollution from wastewater treatment plants. many homes on the indian river lagoon aren't connected to the central sewer, but have septic tanks. the waste water it goes down into the soil and then moves through the soil and groundwater into the indian river lagoon or adjacent water body. it results and outbreaks of algae that block light causing sea grass laws and that deprives marine life, including manages of, of vital food source. that is the primary food source for the manatee. and so now that the sea grasses are gone, the manatees are starving to death. these developments are nothing new national s story program. the unseen menace is all about septic tanks. so this

was done in, as i said, florida to day 1997. and we knew way back then that the lagoon was already showing signs of septic tank pollution and problems, fish kills but nothing happened. so this has been well known for a law for decades. yes. not because we love nothing, not very little. i mean small's baby steps have been done, but nothing on the scale of what the problem requires. so we really need the, you know, billions of dollars, and a lot of time now to correct the problem in the, into to rebel ago. loss of diversity happens for a reason, and once a species goes extinct, it's lost forever. if i'm a blood is red, why i have you made it now it's your turn. do you have a question about science?

send it to us via video text or voice message. if we answer your question on the show, we'll send you a little surprise as a thank you. come on to start. move this makes question comes from e s. terrace. ah. why do some fish have stripes? while others have spots, fish has been around for hundreds of millions of years. to day these water dwellers come in a huge variety of colors and patterns. and now scientists can use molecular biology to examine exactly how this happened. cyclic are particularly interesting for researchers because they have developed into a huge number of sub species with very different shapes and patterns. in africa, lake victoria evolution happened at an amazing pace within a few 1000 years,

500 new species as thick woods emerged. all this diversity can be traced back to a few ancestors that migrated from neighboring lakes. there are a number of different habitats in lake victoria. the sick was adapted to them. those that live among aquatic plants have developed camouflaged with vertical stripes. while those that live in open water have horizontal stripes, which are beneficial when fish are swimming unprotected. these stripes make it difficult for predators to focus on a single fish. evolutionary biologists from constants in southern germany reveal the secret to how the sick lives. different patterns came about a long series of experiments brought males with vertical stripes together with 5 females with horizontal stripes. none of the resulting offspring had horizontal

stripes. these fish were then put together in groups with one male and several females. each a quarter of their offspring had horizontal stripes. this happens only one is sickly. inherits the striped gene from both parents in might a sick lids. the different coloring is probably caused by a so called jumping gene minus sick lids are usually all born with dirt coloring. those with the jumping gene then turn orange yellow or even white as they develop. the color change from dark to golden occurs when cells containing the dark pigment, melanin die off in the fissures skin. in reality, it's a discoloration caused by the jumping gene that alters how proteins are produced in the scales. ah,

researchers have been investigating how patterns and colors develop and fish for more than a 100 years. but there are still many mysteries to be solved. ah, that's it for this edition of tomorrow today. glad you could join us and hope to see you again. next time until then stay curious. bye bye. with

a city full of surprises. group off. yes, we're told in the middle of the german state of north ryan, west virginia. with plenty of major history. you can even touch on flavors to enjoy it. so many cool places to discover
