more greenly and birds in our balcony. in fact, if human beings honestly tried to exist with nature in tandem with love and respect every day with flourish, hello and welcome. i'm sorry, i got the body. you all watching you go india and today we will explore more about this relationship between nature and are equal to what is them at 1st, this sounds like an eta conceivable contradiction at least to me because the 1st things that i think off i loud, intrusive doris just disrupting the piece and gall of nita. but if done in the right manner, eco tourism can help us not only concern flora and fauna, but also bring lockers and ecology together. i mutually benefit. let's head to a small, beautifully corston village to find out more. ah no,

they go these rusty, hunched olive readily, turtles have to hurry on the way from the nest to the water. they are easy brain for large grabs and but today they are a bit cameras. there is a student good watching on the loss beach. these tiny turtles have done the small coastal village of vill us in the state of mot. ostrander, big direction. one of the onlookers is a student from mom by i came from i, i forget that up because i did is like to get some pictures and i wasn't really sure what to do. i wasn't gonna conservation walk or something. but then i, the loud music, doctor's going to the secretaries for them to the life. the female turtles lay up 260 export nest in the winter until a few years ago, locals regularly plunder the next and 8 or so the eggs tv that all ginger around 20 years ago and one mental production. and you saw the new sog midra began

safeguarding the c turtles, which have been classified by the site as an endangered species. a subsample indoor is me, bilateral, and i will logo joe how misha restarted sensitizing. be people who used to do these details and stealing turtle eggs. at least we made them aware of the importance of these turtles and the eggs. anyone else on that is how or just became a part of this conservation activity on jump or just a, in, in the workplace conservation activity. guy, salmonella. some villagers are now able to make a living from working with the turtles. huh. that it's grown to a real eco tourism create that benefit, both animals and people when you can see an expedient something then like you will, will appreciate them and you will have that order to cancel them or not more mode 2

species. so this is where legal tourism comes and pitcher and bring it connects us be she is habitat and the visitors city glock and her family have been hosting students to come to see the dirt for nearly 7 years now. each year the convert their house into homestead just in time for the villas turtle festival, me and then homestead. since we started this homes debbie had done quite well for our said before. there was nothing here and the only employment was day labor. but now they make good money and more tourists come to our village each year, so disagreeable, new work opportunities seem to be a drawer for the village. you do abroad? who decor left his job in the middle east and came back to visit us to set up the 1st homestead campground here bailey's gown. nor when he heard edward heard of the letter in which was tugee in a corner of india, somewhere in atlanta. now it's famous because of the very last turtle festival on

on, and that's transformed into religion. first you, again, we were able to find a steady source of income and just get people come here, enjoyed the sites and learn new things about the daughters, which not reject the find the expedients be peaceful, which is good for enjoying that. they are local because ne information. mindy abysmal diane burger, nearly 80 percent of homes and velocity are operating businesses directly connected to turtle tourism. the absence of commercial hotels is also working to keep the rural expedients as authentic as possible for visit. coming to see the amazing knitter here without disturbing it, the community establish some grounds to make that possible is illegal killer when he and he so there is no sand activity allowed on the beach . even if more tourists wanted motor sports will not be allowed light. there will

be no lights on the beach and cards can only be bought at august and it's hard to manage a lumber that had to i'm the focus is on conservation activity. be advantage badge and then another challenge for the lucas, the total season. last just a few weeks been new ideas are needed to attract to this year all year round. that with the conditions are certainly favorable. oh yeah. had it that again this the done is it in biodiversity villas, is that owned by mountains on the sides and the see on the ford side. and you can see the inter titles own odd life he had because of that he did as the tide pool covering of one kilometer stretch off. rock batch saw lots of diversity. they wanted him in the weather, dolson safaris out on the ocean or clark trips through the man grew father's money . locals have become to a guides. no one knows the local floor on phone better than they do not. where do we come into the pitcher?

is me oh boy, them leg though, so we provide them with some of the trimmings, lake, hospitality or how to speak to that buddhism. how do i make her how to take forward that knowledge? how do i include the local knowledge and how to an influence of buddhist who got genes than mine said. this gentle ecotourism, which began as a measure to save the olive, rightly, turtles and the laws has now become the blueprint for 10 other village along the coast. if all goes well, these dani dotala's will return to re los beach to lay eggs in the sand tanks to the mindful development of tourism. here a future generations of turkeys will also have the chance to make the obey to the sea a clear night to make this chest a tree died. to make this book i plead eyed even for your toilet paper. we need

wood for a lot of these things and to get this food, we got forests. and cutting forest doesn't just mean a couple 100 trees. it means the floor and follow that lives in and around the tree . an entire ecosystem and preserving our forest means preserving that seem ecosystem. he not, he, in finland's far north, is still home to primeval forest on this good reason to leave it b. 2 decades ago ot listen dantes forest, with its 500 year old trees, were slated to be felled. she's a member of the indigenous sammy, people. it's our inheritance. even if the landy so in quite as big and yoga iraq. well, it's home. oh, on sale. oh, for money. back in 2003. once a week or freight a dr. lu, back germany,

greenpeace said part of its cargo consisted of contraband from the last intact primeval forest. in europe, virgin forest cut down to make toilet paper. the trail led back to erie. here a small delegation of traditional reindeer herders was waiting. they didn't need to go far to find freshly chopped tree stumps. booty figures this tree was a couple of 100 years old. as far as you can tell, without a magnifying glass with them it's growth rings lie so close together. it would be a new it the national forest authority promised to safeguard certain areas. but the trees are just being felled and other areas. in the end, alex follow the forest will be gone on 20 years later in the naughty. the chainsaws are quiet and the european union is making sure it stays that way. can levy padaya remembers when young environmental

activists lived for months in tree houses. arguing with the lumberjacks and how greenpeace quietly threatened to boycott, germany's largest publishing houses. fanco will cuz he'll come back then they stopped to clear cutting me. i know we didn't let up from there, but and i can but now it's been quiet here for years. that little lock. you can see it. we don't have to keep our animals behind fences. they can move freely around the forestry ice, even in winter petrie mottos managed to save his forest too, which had been targeted by the wood industry. that was before the unrest in the naughty this is what a healthy forest looks like. teeming with young rain dea. there's no need for fences. you probably just born in the yesterday evening. i am august those like there is one upgrade. so i got 1000 but my air market. then

i opened that gave them vehicle back to the freedom. an ant petrie martyrs likes reindeer that want to be free. they thrive better and don't cost him lots of money . at 1st sight, sweden looks like one continuous forest. no country in europe has more trees. they cover 3 quarters of the country surface. but further north, many places resemble a lunar landscape like here and more neil on the border between sweden and finland, 200 kilometers north of the arctic circle. environmental activists, blame swedish lumber companies in an oman of get. and when i drive around here, you see one class after the other. and what do they re part, see house every forest is the same with all the trees at the same age that planted in long rows. that's an aggressive way to treat the forest. they become plantations,

had some story rod at huge tracks of forest are slated for clear cutting their forests, owned by sway us, cook sweden state when oil company. but the firm made his calculations without taking greenpeace and reindeer herders into account. they took the trees into their protection, patrolled the area, and demonstrated their for months at a time a quiet protest that compelled the company's headquarters in stockholm to comply with the protesters demands. the old management was fired. we meet with new company boss, eric brown's mom. he appreciates the range of issues involved we previously haven't managed that conflicts and in an optimal way. and there have been situations where we have not advanced of the possibilities for the, for, for to read your hers to true practice their profession. back in the forests,

owned by say, a scoop. the more in your area is home to 4000 reindeer. in the summertime, there's enough for the animals to eat. in the fall, the semi domesticated animals enjoy eating mushrooms. we made the chairman of the local reindeer cooperative cons hallman, does he trust the company's assurances at the moment? he says it doesn't look like the forest is going to be cut down and he's hoping it will stay that way. not more than one hope, but of course we're hoping for improvements via for a new course. eric brands, mom came up to visit us of the door, but honestly, it's all coming 30 years to lay till it, if a bad thing up at us. and it has most of the ancient forests are already gone, had gotten faint, new winter in lapland is a barren time. but the forest this time of year is like

a garden for the reindeer. there they find the lichens, they need to help them survive lap blondes long, harsh winters. why? yes, humans, i think it is in several farms of farming andreotti disable. these traditional practices are not only important for the sustenance of these community, but also to combat climate change. yet another example of how humans we thought on the problems that have been created by them in it's an icy 7 o'clock in the morning and goto and the harbor here on the po. delta is draped in a thick fog. provide us pies, auntie, that doesn't make setting out any easier. but audi, i know he got it, you try to navigate by orienting yourself to certain landmarks. but on mornings like this, when the fog, which we call calico is so thick that it makes navigating difficult,

super feature very difficult. his father fished the adriatic before him, but to day. but his harvest clams bungalow. where and how much they can that changes every day. la sierra, at ativa, mandel mas in the evening. we get a message from the cooperate, as you don't mind telling us what zone we can fish when we can set out. and when we have to return to laura, and how much we can bring ashore if the bees are there for a little bit, but they glide for a half an hour through the silent lagoon. then suddenly the quiet ends. the clam fishers appeared from the fog like ghosts 1500 men and women worked to go to lagoon . clown fishing is more like farming the sea better than traditional fishing. a girdle fishers harvest almost $14000.00 tons of mollusks each year.

well up today we can all harvest 30 kilos, they suck the mollusks out of the sand with a special device. the water is 6 degrees celsius just right for winter. but in recent years, the temperature has stayed around 11 degrees celsius. climate change is also affecting the po, delta noise we video, montgomery, until tomorrow we observe the effects of climate change here when the sea level changes aqua, when the shock a wind blows or during the phases of the moon, the fuzzy lunar video, one that i see gumby, i mean typically that we also see the effect of climate change when we find fish demolish and crap species that we've never seen here before. it shows that the b value jonetta king, but he manion of it. that's why clam farming is important. he says to help protect the climate liquid key, the shelves are made of calcium carbonate,

go out to the car, which is just captured carbon dioxide lemmy that he the cutter bonding. at the university of ferrara, professor elena thom bodine has authored a study on the impact of muscles on the climate. it confirms will grow fisher's argument, so could do more with can be mildly as they grow mollusks for michelle in that capture c o 2, charlotte, oak, 2, and i'm gonna if i harvest sticky low of clams, would the c o 2 emitted for their commercial use is much less than the c o 2 captured by the clamshell as they grow, said he already spectra at you. and what that's the surprising thing shows that even good, you know, don't look at this when i was that i was, i sort of been in the lagoon. the goto fishers now form a dozen mullis species over 10 square kilometers. 7 years ago, vidas and the other fishers launched another climate friendly project. farming, oysters from the mediterranean, using the tides. ah,

mika cruz assuming dalia. we're the only oyster producers in it allow, don't, are there so can now it's low tide or yeah. and these baskets with a young oysters are hanging in the air and the sun, or yeah, yeah, showed gondola when the tide comes in with this entire zone will be flooded via lego. hooked up to stuff like waste and okay. la from bell, if with very nice beliefs and festa was full, frontal me led me there from 2020 shot to me. that ain't a fishers called her oysters golden goro, and sell them to chop shafts all over italy. but above all, bodice loves one thing about his work. and he built on his seal. so it's that sense of freedom. lemme a you follow the ebb and flow of the tides and the phases of the moon crystal, at least you are part of this beautiful world, our world, the po, delta. preserving this world and ensuring its future

providers and the fishers of goro, it's their life's work. all of us who live in these big concrete jungle often wonder what must to feel to live in nature. i often do sleeping in caves, drinking from the streams. the nature being on infrastructure. imagine walking on bridges that can actually live and breathe. yeah, in fact that israel, it's not a magical land, it's a small town in the northeastern states of makalya. all the people of these hills have countless names for rain. now we see, right, wow, and no wonder for this is the wettest, rainiest spots on planet earth. the monsoon takes on many forms in the hilly state of mine, carla, in north eastern india. ah,

what starts as the gentle streams and ends as raging rivers makes life for the 40000 people that live in this region really difficult. the cassi tribal community here are mostly farmers and the rivers that form every year, cut their homes off from their farms and markets. but the community here has found a really unique way to survive and thrive to a system of living route bridges of what the numbers are on mobile. are you on power connecting incredibly, a fat ma'am. got them up a 2nd on kiki tau. well, how bout are another? i am proud to have built this bridges and leave this legacy for generations to come narvie, grandma and i hope the one to come. that's even better than what we have done won't come let us yet. especially with new technology and better understanding of the science. well, i got these route bridges can last 100 years because they sit high. yeah. and they

do not realize yet and wow. but no cong lamb is a farmer from a village named molina. he started learning to build his route bridges at around 11 years old, and is still using his skills 3 decades later. people from his village are building a new one, the season to help especially women get access to the market, which helps the local economy. mccullin's bridges are special and famous because unlike modern bridges they are alive. busy the construction material is mainly wood that comes from trees that are still living. and usually even more trees are planted to keep them standing, which helps biodiversity here. how they work as the aerial roots of the amplified tree are led into the trunk of an array country where young roads can grow. bamboo scaffolding gives bought the roots and the villages support rubble. fig routes,

which had the special ability to fuse and grow as one i used by the local people to guide the bridge across the river bank. it's an epic undertaking. bridges can me over 50 me, doesn't length and can have multiple decks. a single bridge can carry up to 50 people out of dime. norris din song is also a farmer from this region. and today he's having a day out with his son, teaching him what he was taught, his sons number about an hour long one. largely, i learned how to build root bridges from the age of 15 by my grandfather. believe it is important to preserve these rude garages for our children. they, we must teach our children so that the knowledge can be passed down from generation to generation. so that even when i am gone, these bridges gonna still be used by my grandchildren alarm and so long on my run garden with di timothy. it actually takes do, or even 3 decades for

a living bridge to become usable. so children working on a bridge to day are doing it to support members of the community, even a few 100 years from now. and they return home on a bridge that their ancestors whom they may have never met, built for them. even under god is a sociologist who works with the communities here to preserve the knowledge and skills. the living room did give has to be protect that because we retain that influence of our forefathers who has thought us how we use their natural resources without destroying the mother up. her belief is that these bridges are the best symbols of the culture of the region and represent a relationship between indigenous communities and the ecosystem. and they help in other ways to the living room that's not

a lot of employment opportunity for their people. it felt their unemployment problem and also has increased the income, generic thing of the people in both villages, especially where they've been good with usaa locals work as guides as well by converting their homes into homesafe a night and a homestead in a village with living room bridges can honor family around 2000 rupees or $25.00 euros per night. tourism door can be a double edged sword. concrete steps, ticketing bullets and walls funded by the state government have sprung up and bridges that were meant to hold a few people at a time. i'm beginning to show signs of where on the hordes of trampling tourists feet. 70. ready do may carlin, villages have now been identified and unesco 2023, tentative list of world headed sites for their bridges. this recognition will

increase their popularity and will attract more financial support from the world heritage fund and other institutions. but going forward, the community emphasizes that there must be front and center for this kind of sustainable development do remain. and then we move forward in building group reaches together imparting knowledge from generation to generation on how to plant and build these woodbridge's law. this kind of eco engineering supports bought biodiversity and the development of native communities. and these bridges are destined to the fact that both can exist at the same time. ah, you know, the selflessness with which nature keeps giving us endlessly. it shouldn't be very difficult to give it back a action of 800,

but i'm short. today's stories left us with a lot of hope and motivation and compelled us to introspect. but you will let me know what did you like most about today's episode, and what would you like to see more or you can write to us as equal to add that h d w dot com. keep coming back every week. see you soon with
