if one was yes and any succeed in restoring this young girls ability to treat it, it's something that really is price and management that gives me known to what i do . the trio combating, shady dealings starts april 29th on d. w. ah thing . well loud, i love that in our life. oh, maybe in the summer before boil the seeds, the micro green that a whole bunch of other natural ingredients that we have parents who are rich by what i was. 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 father of ari and your watching going the are. and today we will explored hidden pockets of biodiversity in the city, in the national capital, where one can, i wasn't going to forget what a forest looks like in the home drill of the city. the clouded highway is the di buildings and the curve crossing flowers. but here the secret they do exist. and today, my colleague and fellow moment envious and journalist the hardest, we'll take us through these hidden, almost unbelievably biodiversity that pockets in the city. and take us all these forests and make us feel greed and d as them. and the magic that the goal 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 honor. 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. john this i'm curious how all these pockets of biodiversity surviving and how can we protect them better? alicia on this quest. i teach, pardon the big butterfly gold. i walked while side in a mini forrest that was once a garbage dump. assist in a bio fencing project wanted restored, rattling i meet the people who are helping restore the green lunch 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 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 forest that we have managed to clear that is like good need to wonderland. yeah, it was once a garbage yard. yeah. with the children took upon the challenge and i've created a beautiful forest on the spectrum. quite honestly, what i was expecting was a tiny batch of land with some trees. but as we walk around, i realize some art has done so much more. and i can see that you have all mares of this an appeal, the unmet good. you have keys which are, you know, knowing so. and it's time to get a taste of the poorest. it has. whoops. michelle, i did. why we can try it. okay, let's see how it is 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 to you know, the diamond but, but the birds don't spirit if you feed on the brand new. it's not like

a lovely pope with melanie buffalo, under surprises on every corner. and what is written? clean? it's crystal clear, and that is because of the aquatic lady hungry from that. right. that's all for babies. and a lot of fish with get into making patients head on going to less but in the city will land comes at a premium. how can we design our cities for these dying creatures? the 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 type that allows middle ford but a place like puddling. and it's a close of the water to see down. so maybe if you can design with anita over the little chain in the designs, we can still have the green dea on this. we can still have the parts for cycling and holds 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 little lead to the white, the floodplains on the river yamuna. i don't look at anybody on our best parents about save 40 to 45 kilometers from palatable o'clock. the moment it causes was it i bought quickly, it even become a seabrook, then your system is almost dead. 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 its forest, 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, ha, ha, ha. oh, what it basically time to norway here is with her for hours and wednesday may feel inferior to buy offense. so as also as a de, securing this as you can see, look at the shop pullman's. 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 secure it. so we put a good brand and built a girl in a go out on on that he talked for a meal guy. and he was by the success of the biodiversity for the government, if a, as in his team, more land, he's now managing 7 such box across nellie that are now precious upon the trees of the city's bachelor. when my last stop is at a private thought, i'm going to meet each other educated. so here my dog, it's the time 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 here on the rules of the game. the 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 as the frolic around us. i'm curious to know from the owner, i 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 going to play dell, ground water. second, the for to use recycled water, which people called waste water. i called it 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 this 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,

that we have done. 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 city . for more scenarios our mother grandmother and i really have something that comes from their back yard or their kids in that because almost everything ah, you have bad skin applies on your garden, honey, your skin in the days and then 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. but often these all ingredients are considered to be free for the thinking. but either cosmetic fuel, the power of real cold bread, all gonna pharmaceuticals nationally developed to help soothe and relax, uni cleaning, product, remove health day like tomato 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 some think to the tune of billions of dollars who's paying the price. welcome to the world of bio, piracy bio. prospecting is defined in the

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 product. then in recent decades it's, it's pharmaceutical companies. it's buying the companies regard recalled through companies can or chemical companies as well, or 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 in research to help them make that back. patrons give them exclusive, right? so for that innovation, for a set period of time, then brought in that the should have a bad in system world. so are the industries od appreciate it for did is it, 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, u. f. 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 fung, aside for centuries. but others profited from then knowledge the appropriation and commercialization of genetic resources like planting 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 who dea, 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 while hunting, but its properties made it very attractive. the business research south africa's counsel for scientific and industrial research, c,

f i. r used the plan to extract to formulate the molecule p 57 as a hunger suppressant for treating obesity. and 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 there was so much interest and hi about this on the parents. in the research, it was 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 offer on the removal of this plan. the sale of this plan who dea has had to be protected in south africa and 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 diversity is important. and it's important because consumers are more, more interested in a more aware and asking questions. nuts, rick coach la 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 a certification on that product. if they do, all these regulations are still, you are still available and sometimes when 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 by a 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. it is important to 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 the solutions are found. one way is by creating guidelines on what can be patented and howl 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, because things family husband growing wheat body on sugar kin on this 30 acre farm in the northern state of the per 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. thing. farm was no exception, but in recent years, he has seen clear signs that the soil here is reaching a breaking point. we'll still have at legacy at the head reg, yameen, media and then get in york with lot aim for lasers had robbed the soil of its moisture. it is becoming less productive and needs more water every season. yeah. that bonnie, the math that i you, how you, what viet, even the more we use fertilizers, the more to vignette. i union, a thief with an idea of wanting me of melana bertha eager to bring this vicious cycle. he took part in a bookshop at a nearby compassed factory. undiscovered rummy gum, boston a natural way to encourage blonde group by using earthworms. i'm even boy thing, egg bio and glen me. composting is a biological process. decrease didi in crop vs as fort worth. one sat i or crops it,

or not one congest, my only dable substances and digest it my are to come, whatever you go in, dest, it's, i go to have certain, my cool man, what an and james and the be, it is such how glad to fall on it excrete laken, but it's gosti. i any god, let me come post. what exclude? i have. i mean i'm boss can only i get i one of the others working to spread the word on the benefits that earth wants been performing. the crawlers have 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 blond sneed, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, how gay organic annuity, as i me composed is good because it makes the soil crumbly, damn by increasing its moisture, willing capacity over time. it it okay, why?

said the holding up as a gift from what i think one of the people she has one over to the cause of them come posting is entrepreneurial critique, but judge or he get just a little bit. i mean, we should as amy, i have always been drawn to nature. i used to love playing with up 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 aim to develop a viable competitor or to chemical for the licenses that cost half the price of most when we come forced bronze in the indian market league there. so it took us one and a half, yet fixed admission to find that i'd processes i tried out different techniques to have this problems which know what me composting men will seem to address. like, how should you say of the word 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 when we combust is 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 effort, leather use kara, the one we can possibly that he has on him. but he received that pharmacy using

chemical fertilizers. every berries is so shifting to what we composed might take some time. but if we 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 kind of via cheating, milling critique also, trends farms and helps them make the switch to when we come posting, 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. well, 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 eat bread pulses,

and dry sal is chemical from m b or banana because 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. so i as though have or have any feeling helene gave i'd laser soon soil is accustomed to and heavily dependent on fertilizers. initially there is a deduction, and 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 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 present, orderly. farmers in this region have begun recognizing the need to see if the soil is from the damage caused by chemicals. they are confident that mummy composed will

ensure that their farms a stay productive while selling water sources 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 will 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 and then have a great week. see you soon? no sky through
