ah, ah thing where did loud i was in our life? oh, moving the so before boiled the seeds, the micro green that a for a bunch of other natural ingredients that we have pounds to our rich biodiversity. these areas of life depend on the reservation of that biodiversity, even if we aren't aware of the key role that it hello, i'm sorry i live ari and you all watching me going the are. and today we will explored hidden pockets of biodiversity in the city. in the national capital, where one can or was looking to forget what a forest looks like in the humdrum of the city. the clouded highway is the dog

buildings in the criss crossing flowers. but here the secret they do exist. and today, my colleague and fellow moment, embassy, ist and journalist, the harder will take us through these hidden almost unbelievably biodiversity this pockets in the city and take us all these forests and make us feel breathe, and days them. and the magic that legally it's the national capital of india, the seat of all political power, home to more than 20000000 people. daily's environmental indices have been plummeting for a while. and yet biodiversity still exists in all corner to 50 species of native trees, 70 species of butterflies, and a 190 species of birds are found in the city. as it environment, jonas, i'm curious how all these pockets of biodiversity saliva and how can we protect

them better louis on this quest? i'll take bard him. the big butterfly gulped. i walked wild side in a mini forest that was once a garbage dump. assist in a bio fencing project, wanted restore, rattling and meet the people who are helping restore the green lawns of the most polluted city. it would be some out corner was just 16 when he noticed a garbage dump close to his home. he is at right me for a walk in the mini forest he created from scratch. welcome to the minnesota, off buddy the bud. so this is the little forest that we have managed to clear that is like good need to wonderland. yeah, it was once a garbage yard. yeah. the, the children took upon the challenge and i've created

a beautiful thought on the spectrum. quite honestly, what i was expecting was the 3rd batch of land with some trees. but as we walk around, i realize some art has done so much more. and i go see that you have an appeal, the unmet good. you have keys which are, you know, knowing. so i'm, it's time to get a taste of the forest. it has, whoops, michelle, i did what you can say. okay, let's see how does this. and it has a beautiful di you that also comes out of it. if it does seem like a little bit better, but it's not yet ripened. ok, it's, it's, it's yet do you know the diamond but, but the birds don't spirit if your feet on the brand, it means it's not like a lovely pulpit. melanie buffalo, under surprises on every corner. and what is written clean, if it's crystal clear and that is because of the aquatic lady behind on that. right,

that's all for babies. and a lot of thief with get into biking patients, head on going to that. but in the city will land comes at a premium. how can we design our cities for these dying creatures? littleton design. when we design with benita, we do have a walking track and the mini forest. but it's a walking track that absorbs water. it's a walking type that allows middle side, but a pleasant mud puddling and it closes the water to see down. so maybe if you can design with the nature of the little chain in the designs, we can still have the green dea. on this, we can still have the parts for cycling and hoods and bots for walking clean. so much dream is to create many forests across india and his only just begun. ringback to you with my lance at 1st, i'm now headed to meet biologist. i ask what was the walking with his lead to the might the floodplains on the river yamuna? i don't look at anybody on our best heavens about sam. 40 to 45 kilometers from

palatable club. the moment it causes was it i bought quickly, it even become a cba, then your system is almost did not providing any college cars services. then what is the answer? the answer comes through signs, and that says that a college girl is tradition, is the only way to restore the system as the city of delhi grew. so did the pressures on the devil, the floodplain was destroyed over time, and it's for is grasslands, wetlands and wildlife. was all lost yardie indigo, v as an esteem wanted to change that. a parson of nearly 457 acres of land was handed over to his team, lead by professor c. r. barble, by the deli development authority that manages the land. degraded wickland was the 1st task, be this'll be area and now be see 100 acres of whitland it targeting the ground

water boatright down the $100.00 eco of revitalized wetland is in stark contrast to the brown yamuna. just outside of the park. we'll try done. it's time to get our hands dirty, so it's gonna be a day of hardly ever. oh, what it basically time to norway here is with her for hours and wednesday may. theo is threatened by our offense. so as well. so wasn't just securing this as you can see, look at the shop problems. and imagine if you're a hobby wall, they're still coming here to have a juicy bite of this plan. you want to want to stay away. and now you're going to do is just take a piece of stream and tie it all it on to secure it. so be perfect with brand and bill the girl in ago. oh, i know that he talked for a neil guy and he was by the success of the biodiversity farm,

the government for yards and his team more land. ringback now, managing 7 such parks across nearly that are now precious upon the trees of the city's bachelor. when i last off is that a private thought i'm going to meet each other educate on saw him. my dog is the time when delhi is a bus, a pride in eco tourism resort has invited volunteers to come and count butterflies on the property. before we start, the big butterfly count some instructions on to heal on the rules of the game. we important things is one your location, and 2nd, you're starting and ending instructions complete. we find out to not as many species as we can under the able guidance of. so he'll the butterflies keep us in the tizzy of the frolic around us. i'm curious to know from the or not

a schwinney why this initiative is important to him. like the 1st forest zones here are supported completely by the cycle water. so 1st we're going to plato ground water. second, the to use recycled water, which people called waste water. i kind of liquid good. and this is how we are putting these various forest sooner together. and the resort the golf course. the homes are incident to do for us and not the other way around. and it's time for so he'll to reveal the final count. we have about 22 species of butterflies and 76 individuals. wow. and we actually got something out with so he'll with the citizen science initiative. so much with his mini forest for us with his passion for the biodiversity box. we seem like a handful of people in the city riddled with problems but they've

left me with so many ideas on how biodiversity can be better protected in our cities. or more st is i mother, grandmother, and i really have something that comes from their back yard or their kitchen that fixes almost everything. ah, you have bad skin applies on your garden, honey, your skin in addition. and then both apply some name, paste from lemon to geometry. that is always something that comes to the rescue, but it doesn't end this. you will, the stores and medical stores across the world have brought up that, i believe from nikita. like often these all ingredients are considered to be free for the thinking, but either cosmetic fuel, the power of real cold bread organ pharmaceuticals nationally developed to help

sued and relax. unique cleaning product removed tough things like tomato filled with many of them contain ingredients originally derived from nature. and why not? i mean, there's a lot we can learn from the environment. it's not that simple. over the last decades, companies and institutions have claimed natural compounds and substances of their own and hijacked the knowledge of how to use them. they have profited something to the tune of billions of dollars, who's paying the price. welcome to the world of bio, piracy bio prospecting is defined in a united nations document as the exploration of plant and animal species for the utilization of their genetic resources. it basically describes companies and institutions looking for new natural substances to use in their products.

then in recent decades it's, it's pharmaceutical companies. it's binds that companies regard recall through companies can we're chemical companies as well are claiming intellectual property rights relating to lourdes. the research and development that they've been doing and they're doing that through payton's. the idea is that new inventions cost companies, time and money and research to help them make that back, patrons give them exclusive, right? so for that innovation, for a set period of time is important that the should have a bad system mode. so did the industries are appreciated for their research, but it becomes more problematic when traditional knowledge of communities is involved. take the name tree, known as the tree of life in india, it has vast medicinal and healing properties. and it can also be used to make organic pesticides and fungus sites. in 1995 us multinational

w r. grace was granted a european patent. manime oil used as part of it, so gannet fungicide, mnemic for a brand worth over $60000000.00 per year. according to a 2008 report indigenous communities in india had already been using name oil as a fungus site for centuries. but others profited from then knowledge the appropriation and commercialization of genetic resources like plaintext strikes and indigenous knowledge for profit. this is whereby a prospecting can turn into bio piracy. companies use patents to protect innovations without fair compensation for communities, whether genetic material and knowledge comes from. there should be a balance between the advancement in technology and also what is entre if not it should be preserved. it should not be misappropriated. it took 10 years for the european patent on the use of the ne,

in compound to be overturned. but this is far from a typical outcome for indigenous communities. they often lack the funds and support to fight patents. and there are other problems too. it can also be harmful to buy a diversity hootie or gordon. i is a plant fountain, south africa. it's like a cactus, essentially, it doesn't look appetizing, which is pretty fitting because he is a natural appetite suppressant. the son people of the region used the plant to keep them going well, hunting, but its properties made it very attractive. the business research south africa's count for for scientific and industrial research, c, f i r, use the plan to extract to formulate the molecule p 57 as a hunger suppressant for treating obesity. in the 1990s, the center patented the molecule and licensed it to multinational pharma company,

pfizer. and then you k based biotech fighter farm. no credit was given to the sun people. and there was so much interest and hi about this on the parents and the researchers in newspapers. it's reported globally on that. it was decimated by opportunity. so people came out and sort of decided they were going to make money off off on the removal of this plan. the style of this plan who dea has had to be protected in south africa in namibia illegal harvesting is one of the main threats against the plant. it took until the early 2, thousands for the some people to become aware of the cfo patent. with help from an cios, the community successfully campaigned for the role of their traditional knowledge to be acknowledged under a benefit sharing agreement, they were to receive milestone of royalty payments. it's not clear how many

cases of bio piracy there have been. the united nations has tried to instigate a solution under its convention on biological diversity. the aim of the nagoya protocol is to shad benefits from bio prospecting with indigenous communities. there's a growing recognition in general that the whole issue of nature and by the versity is important. and it's important because consumers are more, more interested in a more aware and asking questions. nuts, rick, coach le ganga, executive director of the union are unethical by trade. it's a membership based organization that helps companies comply with the protocol and awards them with the certification on their products. if they do, all these regulations are still you are still at the elephant. sometimes a clear still on land. there is

a framework one that extends around 200 nautical miles from a nation's border into the ocean. beyond the new frontier for exploration and potential exploitation, the high seas offer an abundance of possibilities. marine organisms can live in extreme pressure temperatures, darkness, animals like sponges, produced chemicals that have the potential to treat cancer. the global market projected for marine biotechnology by 2025 is $6400000000.00 with the potential for use in farm future calls, chemical and biofuel industries. nations are currently trying to figure out how to share the ocean's resources equitably. countries in the global south don't want to be left behind. bio discovery, bio prospecting, however you want to call it to make scientific and technological advancements. well,

it's clear that we need it. it has very, very significantly contributed to kind of human human well being. if you look at all kinds of medicines, they're based on natural remedies. they're based on by or prospecting. so by prospecting is perfect, it is important, will remain very important in the future. but it has to be done in a way that is fair to the biodiversity rich nations, where the solutions are found. one way is by creating guidelines on what can be patented and how companies and research institutions should work with indigenous and local researchers, developers and marketers. working together gifts, both local communities and companies alike, the opportunity to profit it also ensures the protection of the species providing us with the means to make advancements and technology, health, food security and beyond. anybody who has a small house plant knows that even

a tiny blind need some external nutrients and some for delays as every once in a while to stay happy and healthy. oh, so it would only make sense that farmers would need to use for delays us to enhance the productivity of their crop. ah, but in the long run, over using these chemical fertilizers can not only damage the soil, but it can also reduce the fertility of the site. but nato has its own way of creating an ideal fertilizer. we had to with of relief to find out why. for generations, but god sings family husband growing wheat. betty on sugar kin on this 30th or farm in the northern state of hooked up or dish india so called green revolution in the 19 sixty's brought how you grow varieties to the country. other sins, farmers have increasingly relied on chemical fertilizers, like dime, william foster and julia to squeeze productivity from the soil. sing farm was no

exception, but in recent years, he has seen clear signs that the saw here is reaching a breaking point. was said to have at legacy at the head reg, yameen radio and then get in your old aim for lasers. had robbed the soil of its moisture. it is becoming less productive and needs more water every season. yeah. that fine. if you met that, i you how your, what fietta you from the more we use fertilizers, the more to lenient i union a thief with an i gallop on him. you melana bertha eager to bring this vicious cycle. he took part in a vote shop at a nearby compassed factory. undiscovered were me come, boston a natural way to encourage blonde growth by using earth to lumps. let me them for thing, egg bio and glen me. composting is a biological process. dick treats didi and crop vs as fort worth. one, signage i or crops here or not one i'm just am i already did. he bl substances and digest it by her to come whatever you oh in just it's i go to have certain my cool

me what an james and the be it is such how glad to form it excludes jacob. it's costume i any god, let me composed what exclude i have. i mean i'm boss can on the i get i one of the others working to spread the word on the benefits that earth wants been to farming . the crawlers have long been recognized as the living breathing engineers of the underworld and play a key role in our soil ecosystems. they're costing content. arrange a vital nutrients, that blond sneed, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. you have a baby, organic manual. yeah, let me come post is good because it makes the soil crumbly. damn by increasing its moisture holding capacity over time it okay. why said the holding. get better careful about it. one of the people she has won over to the cause of the me combusting is entrepreneurial critique, but judge will he get at least in, in with his amy i have always been drawn to nature. i used to love playing with up

bumps as a kid, but i never imagined that outward would one day lead me to start my own business. them was he began his business with one aim to develop a viable competitor to chemical fertilizes that cost half the price of most women composed bronze in the indian market league. there's a, it took us one and a half yet fixed it mentation to find that i processes i tried out different techniques to this problems which know what me composting men will seem to address . i like, how should you say of the word me compose from been fall and it's harmful effects on the compost. we had to have all the little nonsense to such problems. we had many failures along the way, but we also had many successes is getting successes that resulted in a product bryce to compete with chemical fertilizers at but jobs composed production facility. they begin by collecting cow dung from near by day funds. this dung is laid down and shallow. den me to long pits where it rests for about 10 days

. the spirit of pre composter kills parasites and releases most of the heat that the organic material carries. at the end of this period at once added into the pauses of pre composter dung, the earth forms it their way through the pile and excrete material is devonne. we come fast. that is the end product of the process. light and temperature have to be kept to a minimum throughout the treatments. it usually takes for the bombs to eat through the entirety of a pile, such as this. the bombs are separated out and the moist when we combust is then dried and prepared for packing. after dusting the quality of the contents, it is sealed and sent off to customers. i scan his on her tis may chemical effort, leather use kara, the one we can push a pooley that he has on him. but he received that farmers are using chemical fertilizers, every berries is so shifting to what we composed might take some time. but if you progress as we have been, we will get there sooner rather than later on. it has many benefits for farmers in deducing cost and increasing productivity. and the end consumer vendor of lead of

paddy would get better quality food quality. i will get hoko was go kind of via t as in milling critique also, trends farms and helps them make the switchover me combusting. he has done workshops for over a 1000 farmers until now. farmers like month read sing, who recently decided to replace chemical fertilizers on his sugar again, farm actually evito log, right. know people see what we are doing and markers hadn't got the see. we are need deep in dung all day. yeah. why, but we don't care. or, i mean, we're focused on the results. how we can make sure that what we consume, he can't eat bread pulses, and dry sal is chemical from your banana equals. he's got an indian companies of long been exporting for me can post, but farmers at home have been slow to embrace the method. the hesitation likely stems from the fact that it takes 3 to 5 years for the soil to adopt and delivered

the same productivity as with chemical fertilizers. ok, amadi cya 0 him or heritage fading helene gave i'd laser soon soil is accustomed to and heavily dependent on fertilizers. initially there is a deduction in that is why there should not be a sudden switch to what we composed the doors of chemicals should be induced, gradually reduce the amount of eliza and increase the doors of let me come paused or again menu. good. how about best buy? thank emily, and i'm a present, orderly. farmers in this region have begun recognizing the need to see this solace from the damage caused by chemicals. they are confident that when we combust will ensure that their farms a stay productive while selling water sources and putting healthier produce on people's plates. ah,

i had a lot of fun on today's episode in our journey to farms and forest. these reports gave me more insight into the need for preserving our natural heritage that gives us the ingredients that underpin on health and wellbeing. but you let me know what did you like the most about these episode, and what would you like to see more off? you can read to us at eagle india, adam dot com. keep coming back every week as we explore more about our environment until then have a great week to you soon, noah. sky. with
