w global media on 2023 in germany and online and increasingly fragmented world with a growing number of voices, digitally amplified. we see where this clutter can lead what we really need, overcoming divisions into vision for tomorrow's journalism. register now and join us for this discussion at the 16th edition of d. w's global media forum. think whether loud i love that in our life. oh, maybe the so before boiled the seeds, the micro agreed that a whole bunch of other natural ingredients that we have times to. why rich, why would i list these areas of flight depend on the reservation of that

biodiversity, even if we, on to that of the kito, let it hello, i'm sorry that i've already and you all watching me going back and today we will explored, he didn't focus on biodiversity, in the city, in the national capital, where one can, i won't be going to forget what a forest looks like in the homes of the city. the clouded highway is the dog buildings in the crisscrossing fly, or, like as a secret, they do exist. and today, my colleague ad following moment, dentalgenius and journalist behind that wednesday cost to these hidden, almost unbelievably biodiversity, this buckets in the city. and take us all these forests and make us feel greed, add days them, and the magic that legally it's the national capital of india, the seat of all political power. who do more than the 1000000 people?

daily's environmental indices have been plummeting for a while. and yet biodiversity still exists in all corners. do 50 species of native trees. 70 species of butterflies, and a $190.00 species of birds are found in the city. as it environment journalists, i'm curious how all these pockets of biodiversity surviving and how can we protect them bed long on this quest. i'll take part in the big butterfly golf and look while side in a minute. forest that was once a garbage dump. assist in a bio fencing project wanted restored wetland and meet the people who are helping restore the green lawns of the most polluted city. it would

be about connor was just 16 when he noticed a garbage dump close to his home. he is a bride to 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 photos that we have managed to create. that is like good need to wonderland. yeah, it was once a garbage yard. yeah. did the children took upon the challenge and i've created a beautiful thought on the spectrum. quite honestly, what i was expecting was a 20 batch of land with some trees. but as we walk around, i realize summit has done so much more. i can see that you have all mares, understandably, he'll be on the good. you have to use which are, you know, knowing so i'm, it's time to get a taste of the forest. it has, whoops, michelle, i did. why we can try it. okay, let's see how it is this. and it has

a beautiful day 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 you see it on the brand. it's not like it is a lovely pope with melanie buffalo under surprises on every corner in what is written and clean. it's crystal clear and that is because of the aquatic lady behind every from that. right. that's a role for babies and a lot of fish with get eaten biking patients, head on going to less, but in the city will land comes to premiums. how can we design our cities for these dying creatures? a little to engine design. when we design with benita, we do have a walking truck and the mini forest, but it's a walking truck that absorbs water. it's a walking block that allows middle ford but pleasant, much peddling, and it closes the water to see down. so maybe if you can design with anita, you know, with 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. mean somebody dream is to create many forests across india and his only just begun. ringback to you with my lungs at 1st i am now headed to meet biologist. i ask what son will be walking with his lease to remind the floodplains on the river yamuna? i don't know anybody on our best heavens about sam. 40 to 45 kilometers from palatable club. the moment it causes was it are bought quickly. it even become a seabrook, 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 a city of delhi grew. so did the pressures on the devil, the floodplain was destroyed over time, and its forest grass lids wetlands and why life was all lost. yardie

indigo v as in his diem 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 rickland was the 1st task b, diesel, the area, and now we see 100 acres of bit land it, he targeting the ground water boatright down to $100.00 eco. 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 going to be a day of hardly ever. oh, what it basically time to norma here is with her for hours and wednesday may feel inferior to bio fence. so as also as a does securing those as you can see and look at the shop problems. and imagine if

you had a hobby wall, the still coming here to have a juicy bite of this plan to want to want to stay away. and now you're going to do is just take a piece of stream and buy it all it own to secured it. so we protect with brand and build a girl in a go. oh, i know that he talked for a 1000000 until by the success of the biodiversity farm. the government gave for yards and his team more land. ringback now, managing 7 such parks across nellie that i now precious upon the trees of the cities bachelor. when my last stop is at a private resort, i'm going to meet each other, educate on. so here my dog is dying when delhi is a bus, a private eco tourism resort has invited volunteers to come and count butterflies

on the property. before we start, the big butterfly count some instructions from to here on the rules of the game. we important things is one your location and 2nd, your 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 as the frolic around us. i'm curious to know from the or not a schwinney why this initiative is important to him. like the for forest zones here are supported completely by the cycle water. so 1st we're doing the blue pill groundwater. 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 incidental 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 have done. we actually got something out with. so he'll with the citizen science initiative. so much with his mealy 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. for more st is i mother, grandmother, and i really have something that comes from their back yard or their kids in that fixes almost everything. ah, you have bad skin applies on your garden,

honey. your skin in the basin and them both apply some nimbus 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 feel, the power of real cold bread organ pharmaceuticals nationally developed to help soothe and relax. unique cleaning product removed tough days like an auto fills. 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 bias the company's viagra. cultural 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. payton's, give them exclusive, right?

so for that innovation, for a set period of time, the bought in that the should have a bad intermodal bid. ah, the industries i'd appreciate it for the reset, 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 for name will 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 their knowledge. the appropriation and commercialization of genetic resources like planned tech 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 on it should be preserved. it should not be misappropriated. it took 10 years for the european patent on the use of the knee compound to be overturned. but this is far from a typical outcome for indigenous communities. they often lack the funds and support to fight payton. and there are other problems too. it can also be harmful to buy a diversity hootie or gordon. i is a plant found in south africa. it's like a cactus, essentially, it doesn't look appetizing, which is pretty fitting because her dea is a natural appetite suppressant. the sand 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 farmer company pfizer. and then you k based biotech fighter farm. no credit was given to the sun people and but there was so much interest and hi about this and 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 sale of this plan who dea has had to be protected and south africa namibia,

illegal harvesting is one of the main threats against the plant. it took until the early 2, thousands for the sand people to become aware of the c s i a patent with help from n g o's. 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 1st the is important and it's important because calls you worse, are more,

more interested in a more aware and asking questions. nuts, rick coach la ganga, executive director of the union. unethical bio trade. it's a membership based organization that helps companies comply with the protocol and awards them with a certification on their product. if they do, all these regulations are still, you are still at the elephant, sometimes any 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

a potential for use in farm suits, calls, chemical and biofuel industries. nations are currently trying to figure out how to share the oceans, 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 bio prospecting. so by prospecting is perfect is important. bill remain very important in the future. but it has to be done in a way that is fair to the biodiversity rich nations where these 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 longer run over using these chemical fertilizers can not only damage the soil, but it can also reduce the fertility of the site. but nature 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 30 acre farm in the northern state of the pur. 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 done 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 soi 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. have robbed the soil of its moisture. it is becoming less productive and needs more water every season. yeah, that finding him at that, are you how your, what fietta you, for the more we use fertilizers, the more to vignette, our union, a thief within a gallop on any of melana, bertha eager to bring this vicious cycle. he took part in a bookshop at

a nearby compassed factory. undiscovered remy from boston a natural way to encourage blonde growth by using older ones. i mean i'm voicing egg bio and glenn me. composting is a biological process. dick treats didi and cropped ve east as food for antoine savage. i or crops here, or not fun, congest. my only dable substances and digest it my are to gambles about you. oh, in dest, it's i go to have certain my cool me what an james and the be it is such how glad to flaunt it, excludes jacob. it's costume i any god, let me composed what exclude i have i me them boys can only i get i. one of the other is working to spread the word on the benefits that earth wants been performing. the callers of long been recognized as the living, breathing engineers of the underworld and play a key role in our soil ecosystems. there castings contain a range of vital nutrients that blonde sneed, including nitrogen, phosphorus,

and potassium. you have a baby, organic annuity. let me compose does good because it makes the soil crumbly, damn by increasing its moisture, willing capacity over time. it again, why said the holding capacity of from what i think one of the people she has one over to the cause of them. combusting is entrepreneurial critique, but judge or he get just a little bit alien with his amy, i have always been drawn to nature. i used to love playing with bumps as a kid, but i never imagined that out. worms would one day lead me to start my own business than was it. he began his business with one end to develop a viable competitor or to chemical fertilizers. that cost half the price of most women come forced bronze in the indian mark in a glee. there's a little cause one and a half yet fixed admission to find that i'd processes i tried out different techniques to have this problem, which nobody composting men will seem to address. like, how should you save the world?

me compose from been fall and it's harmful effects on the compost. we had to leave 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 will become posted then

dried and prepared for packing. after testing the quality of the contents, it is sealed and sent off to customers. i scan his on her teeth, may chemical effect, lay that he was kara, the one we can push up when he, that he has an employee. the seed that farmers are using chemical fertilizers, every berries isn't. so shifting to what me composed might take some time. but if it 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, go tailgate hoko was go kani via cheating, milling critique also, trends farms and helps them make the switch to when we combusting, he has done workshops for over a 1000 farmers until now farmers like montreal sing, who recently decided to replace chemical fertilizers on his sugar again, farm. actually a veto log, right. know people see what we are doing? and marcus hadn't got the, the c, we are need deep in dung all day. yeah, well,

but we don't care or, i mean we are focused on that isn't how we can make sure that what we consume, he can eat bread pulses and dry salad is chemical from your banana. he was, he's got an indian companies have long been exporting for me. can post with 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 deliver the same productivity as with chemical fertilizers. ok, amadi. so i still have or have any feeling helene gave eyeglasses. soon soil is accustomed to and heavily dependent on fertilizers. initially it is a deduction, and that is why there should not be a sudden switch to what we composed. the doors of chemicals should be used gradually reduce the amount of what eliza and increase the doors of. let me come

paused, bought again menu. how about best buy? thank gaming value and i'm a percent orderly. farmers in this region have begun recognizing the need to save their souls from the damage caused by chemicals. the confident that rummy composed will ensure that their farms is stay productive, while saving water is sauces and putting healthier produce on people's plates. lou, 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 not 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 or you can read to us at eco, india, adam dot com. keep coming back every week as we explore more about our environment and then have a great week. see you soon. no sky. 3,
