ah, who did you do the fool? i played the channels tested. she survived auschwitz, thanks to music. he was the nazis favorite conductor, to musicians under the swastika documentary about the sounds of power and inspiring story about survival. music in nazi germany, watch now on youtube dw documentary, i think wed allowed, i love that in our life. hope moving the so before boiled the seeds, the micro agreed that a whole bunch of other natural ingredients that we have time to leverage by wood. i
10:31 am
list these areas of flight depend on the reservation of that biodiversity, even if we on to that of the kito, let it be. hello, i'm father of ari and y'all, watching going back on today we will explored, he didn't focus on biodiversity in the city, in the national capital, where one can, i wasn't going to forget what a forest looks like in the homes of the city, the clouded highway is the dog buildings in the criss crossing flowers because the secret they do exist? and today, my colleague ad following moment, dentalgenius and journalist, the hardest, wednesday costs are these hidden, almost unbelievably biodiversity, this buckets in the city. and take us with these forests and make us feel greed and d as them and the magic that the legally it's the national capital of india, the seat of all political power. to more than 20000000 people,
10:32 am
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 better long on this quest, i'll take part in the big butterfly golf. look while side in a mini forest that was once a garbage dump. assist in a bio fencing project, one of the store when i meet the people who are helping restore the green lawns of the most polluted city. it would
10:33 am
be some out can i was just 16 when he noticed a garbage dump close to his home. he's 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 create. that is like go ne, till wonderland. yeah. it was once a garbage yard. yeah. with 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 men of the canopy here. the on middle, you have keys which are you willing to hold on. it's time to get a taste of the forest. it has, whoops, michelle, i did. why you can try it. okay. is this it?
10:34 am
and it has a beautiful die that also comes out of it. if it is, see 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 spit it if you see it on the brand new. it's not like a lovely pulpit. melanie buffalo, under surprises on every corner in both these little n. yes. lean, it's crystal clear and that is because of the athletic lady to 100 reason that right? that's all for babies. and a lot of fish with get into biking, fission, head on less, but in the city will land comes at a premium. how can we design our cities for these dying creatures? for a little children design, when we design with anita, we do have a rocking track and the mini forest, but it's a walking track that absorbs water. it's a walking tract that allows middle ford but a place like berlin and it a lot of the water to see down. so maybe if you can design with the nature, you know, with the little chain in the designs,
10:35 am
we can still have the green the on this we can still have the parts for cycling and hoods and bots for walking. some us dream is to create many forest across india and his only just begun. ringback you knew when my lance i 1st i now headed to me by ologist. i ask, what would be walking? what is the white, the flood plains on the river yamuna? i don't look at anybody. i'm in our restaurants about same 40 to 45 kilometers from like 2 o'clock the moment it causes was hit our body quickly, 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 kelly's 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 grass lids. wetlands and
10:36 am
wildlife was all lost in nearly guys for yours and esteem. wanted to change that. a parcel of nearly 457 acres of land was handed over to his team, led by professor c. r. barble by the deli development authority that manages the land. the grid whitland was the 1st task be diesel dia and now you see under dickerson whitland it, he targeting the ground water all tried 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 with her for hours and wednesday, mid seal in 3 bio fence. so as also as it does
10:37 am
securing those. 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 on this plan to want to want to stay away. and now you're going to do is just take a piece of string and buy it all at home to secured it. so be perfect with brand and build a girl, a girl. oh, i know that he talked for a 1000000 until by the success of the biodiversity farm. the government, if a, as in his deem moorland. ringback is now managing 7 such parks across nearly that are now precious upon the trees of the cities. naturally when ah, my last stop is at a private thought. i'm going to meet mitchell educate on saw him, my dog. it's the dine when delhi is a bus. a private eco tourism resort has invited volunteers to come and count
10:38 am
butterflies on the property. before we start, the big butterfly count some instructions on to heal 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 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 going to plato ground water. second, the to use recycled water, which people called waste water. i called 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 this and not the other way around. and it's time for
10:39 am
so he'll to reveal the final count. we have about 22 species of butterflies and 76 individuals. wow. that we've done. we actually got some data 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. for more scenarios i mothers, grandmothers are and always have something that comes from their back yard or their kids in that fixes almost everything. ah, you have bad skin applies on your wagon,
10:40 am
honey. your skin is a decent and been both apply some name, paste from lemon to somebody. that is oil is something that comes to the rescue, but it doesn't end this. you will, the sores and medical stores across the world have brought up that i believe from nita. but 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 helps to live in, relax, unique cleaning product, remove tough things like tomato filled. 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
10:41 am
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 bias that companies 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,
10:42 am
give them exclusive, right? so for that innovation, for a set period of time, the bought in that the should have a bad into still more did, 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 and 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 plant tack strikes
10:43 am
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 name compound to be overturned. but this is far from a typical outcome for indigenous communities. they often lack the funds and support to fight peyton's, and there are other problems too. it can also be harmful to buy a diversity hootie a 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
10:44 am
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, use the plan to extract to formulate the molecule p 57 as a hunger suppressant for treating obesity in the 19 ninety's. the center patent at 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 off on the removal of this plan. the sale of this plan who dea has had to be protected in south africa,
10:45 am
namibia, illegal harvesting is one of the main threats against the plant. it took until the early 2, thousands for the fan people to become aware of the cfo 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 by of 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 is a growing recognition in general that a whole issue of nature and by diversity is important. and it's important because
10:46 am
as you worse are more, more interested in a more aware and asking questions. nuts, rick coach le 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 that product. if they do, all these regulations are still you are still at the follow up and sometimes unclear. 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, produce chemicals that have the potential to treat cancer. the global market
10:47 am
projected for marine biotechnology by 2025 is $6400000000.00 with a potential for use in pharmaceuticals, 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 by 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. and 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 the solutions are found. one way is by creating guidelines on what can be
10:48 am
patented and how companies and research institutions should work with indigenous and local researchers. developers and marketing. working together gives both local communities and companies the like the opportunity to profit. it also ensures the protection of the species providing us with the means to make advancements in technology, health, food security, and beyond. anybody who has a small house plant knows that even a tiny blind needs some external dns and some for delays or the every once in a while to stay happy and healthy. ah, so it would only make sense that farmers would need to use for delays us to enhance the productivity off that crop up. but in the longer run over using these chemical fertilizers can not only damage the soil, but it can also to do with the fortune or 2 of the soil. but nature has its own way of creating an ideal thought. eliza,
10:49 am
we had to with up for the to find out life for generations because things family has been growing, weep, buddy on sugar can on this 30th or foam in the northern state of the upper dish. india, so called green revolution in the 19 sixty's brought how you grow varieties to the country ever since farmers have increasingly relied on chemical fertilizers, like dime, 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 was said to have had ladies at the head reg, damien major, and then get in. newark with lord ame fertilizers, had robbed the soil offers moisture. it is becoming less burnett. new and needs more water every season. yeah, that's fine. if you met that, are you? hey, what fietta you from the more we use, fertilizers, them, auto, vignette, our union, a thief with an idea that bonnie me of melana bertha eager to bring this vicious
10:50 am
cycle, he took part in a bookshop at a nearby composed factory. undiscovered remy come boston a natural way to encourage blonde group by using earthworms, larry them for thing, egg bio and glen mi. composting is a biological process. it treats didi and crop released as food for ortho and sad i or crops it. oh god, one congest am i only did able substances and digest it my or to gumble liberty logo in jest, it's, i go to have certain my cool mills and james and the be it is such how glad to form it excludes naked, but it's costumes. i any god, let me composed what exclude i have out of me them boys can only i get. i had one of the others working to spread the word on the benefits that up vons had 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 blondes need, including nitrogen, phosphorus,
10:51 am
and potassium. how gay, organic minority i've, i me come post is good because it makes the soil crumbly, thereby increasing its moisture holding capacity over time it okay. why? so the holding up as a gift from what i did, one of the people she has won over to the cause of the me combusting is entrepreneurial critique, but judge will he get just a little bit alien with his amy, i have always been drawn to nature i used to love playing with that firm as a kid, but i never imagined that out to him. so would one day lead me to start my own business than with him. 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 little cost one and a half yellow, fixed admission to find that i processes i tried out different techniques to work. this problems which nobody composting men will seem to address. like,
10:52 am
how should you save the world? me compose from been fall and it's harmful effects on the compost and then we had to leave all the little nonsense to such problems. we had many failures along the way, but we also had many successes. any 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 piles of pre composter dung, the earth warmth, eat 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
10:53 am
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 with that he has on him to do 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 farm us in deducing cost and increasing productivity and the end consumer. whether of the of betty would get better quality food go again, hoko was go canoe via t, as in willing critique also drains farmers and helps them make the switch to were me combusting. he has done workshops for over a 1000 farmers under now. farmers like mun, breed sing, who recently decided to replace comical fertilizers on his sugar again, farm. actually every thought log, right. know people see what we are, drink and markers hadn't got them. they say we are need deep in dung all day here.
10:54 am
well, but we don't care. or, i mean, we are focused on the results. how we can make sure that what we consume, he can eat bread pulses, enjoys our is chemical from the or banana. he was, he's gotta indian companies have 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 deliver the same productivity as with chemical fertilizers. ok, amadi. so i still have or have any feeling hallway in gifford. laser 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 one, become paused. the doors of chemicals should be induced, gradually reduce the amount of what eliza and increase the nose of. let me come
10:55 am
paused or organic menu i. 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 a stay productive while saving water is sources and putting healthier produce on people split. 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 most about these episode, and what would you like to see more or you can write to us at e, going to add that a d, w dot com. keep coming back every week as we explore more about our environment until
