us as well, you quite as doing bible as they're going these 3 funds, some of those a less well decided to not than others. and so it just gives you kind options for the future. that was my martin atkins, college london before we goes get a reminder of our top story. former us president donald trump has arrived at the miami court house where he's making his 1st appearance in historic criminal case. if you look at life pictures, there, trump is due to be formally charged over the miss handling of top secret documents that use update. thank you so much for watching. the really profit sharing, instead of response of the global business of as best as this is not legitimate because the people that are in deserve to be treated with any kind of courtesy by the governments of the world. the never ending story of

asbestos starts june 21st on dw, the it's literally 90. probably human kind is not very resilient. we're easy to kill people cutter throats and it's all over with a tree. you can cushion hot on the steel and survive. so a body tree lubbock full belonging to explain this, that's good enough. my goal is to preserve nature. that's. that's the great thing about health professionals that we can do that with rosette. yes. ok. that's what we're going to show. if i click on the dental to move it to the 30th this time, once we get into this whole area is transforming into a natural ecosystem. the categories must not to the own inhabited areas and via diversity, not mutually exclusive, but this cannot and should not be left to chance for the velocity. it's an iconic

spaces. and if we can really save spaces like this, then we can then we can do anything the from the arctic north to the mediterranean south. europe's landscapes are incredibly diverse. but in recent decades, industrialization has done enormous damage to this diversity. what is needed to revitalize that for most of our existence, human kind of managed to harness nature without destroying it. many classic european landscapes are in fact a result of human activities. the what can be done to establish a new harmony between human kind and nature. the

europe's forests are places people go to relax, to hype, to explore. but they also have a more practical function. here in the hots mountains, mining has been underway for centuries. the forests have also long been exploited for profit, but it's only in the last few years that they're starting to look the worse for wear. now it's been sized sleigh 1000 smooth and not so not pocket nicely. see how good quote i've been working in the national conk since 2012. when i 1st arrived, it was completely green. when there's a showing. yeah, let's get you on the line between the skate. it's incredible how foster can change and how wonder compromising nature can be shown. yeah,

it's hard to deal with lunch. we. i mean we can gain a veteran forester. sabina balding has witnessed the catastrophic impact of development in the hearts mountains firsthand. the combs slide talked on some, some i might be honest about it cuz she still has always supposed to deal with it. but i understand where you scientists have come together. on the one hand, there was a spruce trees that have been planted here over time. and then on the climate change, deep holly bruce is this pc, so it needs that balance. cool, and humidity climate job. and that's exactly what we haven't had over the last few years. it cit, the high temperatures, the stock of water has strong or something like and also high wind room. so use for the best and lots of evaporation within the spruce is drawing out or push the that's making them fragile based on easy talk about the bunk. leto listed in both and careful people. if the trees don't get enough water, they can become vulnerable to insects. he often times, beetles come along and identify perfect reading, stacy,

bruce doesn't find that. so the beatles and mit start remaining send a truck to live friends, feel the females drill terminals in the bulk where they play the x and then the trees down the channel and then kind of strong smell. but the state of the forest can't be blamed solely on climate change. mismanagement is another contributing factor for forest all across europe. a dc split is smell spruce is patrice b. c promises the best economic return, the hub. it must be like the stock market. it's ok for tonight if you invest in spruce, if you don't have a high yield and good profit off, of course not been only so long as nothing goes wrong. if i, if i can not see you even thousands of square kilometers a forest across the earth are dying for the same reason, since they are at hearts. and the continents landscapes are changing radically as

a result that might not sound too alarming. after all, central europe has more force today than in the 17th century. but that's because the 18th century saw a mass of reforestation efforts, fast growing and lucrative spruce was the favorite species and was often planted in mano cultures. as well as in places where it would never grow naturally. this map shows how popular spruce still is. it's one of the most important commercial trees in europe, despite its vulnerability, the climate change in pests might be causing havoc to spruce forests. with new forests are now emerging that are more diverse and more resilient. beyond my so it's not like hard to shortlist is on the all p here in the national tongue. we are in a position to say ok,

and we'll just leave at the home. of course that's impossible in the commercial sector with a goal. so have different jo from the truly areas like these initially look a nominee this makes, it looks like this and nothing here for boys. but in fact, there's a whole new for l y p growing up around us, and we'll start to see it in 2 or 3 years, which you're interested. and that's a completely different forest as emerging than the one we knew before. up to 6 of those old yes, but the structure really rich and the type of forest will be more resilient to climate influences. and for this is the national park. it shows how it can be done. the sick forest is simply left to its own devices while a new generation of trees grow. the assumption is that nature will find its own ways of adapting in good now that's what these days we think in terms of generations. but there are no quick fixes with nature. nature will go its

own ways and find its own solutions, llc each box. it's safe to say nothing will ever be the same again, also signed before the funding. so what does that mean for the future? what effects will these altered landscapes have? climate change is dramatically transforming our environment. it's not just in europe. we are the 1st generation able to identify such changes in nature in time to react. the necessary tools are available. like the satellites that monitor your day and night and transmit the data to the copernicus, an emergency management service, and italy. this was found to, to detect hazards as early as possible, and prevent worst case scenarios. yet, we're still often unprepared when disaster strikes. as it did in the summer of 2021,

[000:00:00;00] the here in the alps, the consequences of global warming are impossible to overlook. temperatures are rising here especially fast. and the glaciers are melting as a result. the reason we're up here at 4 and a half 1000 meters on the telling you said t j. c a in the month to losing my c foot on the boat between the city and switzer eyes. doctor and mortgage we called ski is working to collect ice memory. the

information stored in glaciers that's lost when they melt the much the eyes kind of one. so just i just normally play act archive student outline glitzy is from the ice cores and takes them to a safe place where they cannot be damaged by mouth saying that safe place is on top to kind of stand often on time. it must be good. then now we want to make that material available to future generations or for such as food long stay, buy incense, ya know, that's all come to month is 20 years or so. you wouldn't be able to drill an ice caps that still contains the information that it does today has enough move to use . some studies indicate that by 2100, the glaciers in the alps will be gone. if this is true, it puts the earth water balance at risk. so far, the outs have been

a kind of water reservoir. they make up only 1.9 percent of europe, surface area, but supply water to more than 160000000 people. if the alps loser glaciers, europe loses a vital source of drinking water, it would also be a disaster for agriculture. the climate change is altering the continent dramatically in the process revealing how human kind and nature are inextricably linked. there needs to be fast for reaching decisions, made in the political space and with technology a otherwise human kinds destructive way of life will not change in time. the number of small scale project in europe are already on the case groups, institutions, individuals,

all united in the struggle to preserve the natural environment, such as the type boom project in lim noticed in greece. so you almost don't have yeah 4, there's been different errors in the history of mankind. he to read the stone and the iron age which the bronze age today we can say we're living in the plastic age or keep the plastic cool. every summer, a boat is chartered for volunteers to help clean up the greek coastline. the project funded by a greek philanthropist, is one of the largest of its kind in europe. the pharmacy man approaches 6 up at the time soon as a project that runs $365.00 days a year. oh my god, we still fine tuning it. we must 18 months and we still are in the, in the pilot stage. we still learning and adjusting on was on the original english to clean up 50 meters of shore line. then we decided to extend it to a 150 minutes. uh, because coming up on this uh,

i got the link that i to do the rest of the guy days because the situation has gotten worse in the last 10 years. and i get this is this every minute we were dumping the contents of a garbage truck into the sea, the scale is massive. it came back into the us be around 33 q loaves of plastic. packaging, waste per citizen, per year are generated in the u. that's in comparison to 28 kilos 10 years ago. and unfortunately, it doesn't always end up in the trash. so unless you already punched it as if the quote, a marine pollution effects our country and others in many different ways. if it as a couple of 100 people with music and the 1st of all, it ruins the landscape. you see that every time you go to the beach to take a walk or have a swim it as you think it affects the health of local residents. isn't it because

it doesn't stay on the b o. s that summer camp, your therapist against about area deputy. has it also contaminants, water, the food on our plates. the even fish now contain caustic particle and you have hope you up in minimum plastic cool. what the form is, the type who and project works together with scientists and helps them advance their research into marine pollution via coastal or deep sea pollution or gift. this will be focused file, so we found pieces of junk with bar codes from russia. these are c a and from turkey. the bod quotes from i think, given that both democrats bodies of bar codes allow us to determine the origin country date on factory with the rubbish comes from it. but i'll then we can compile a database and analyze our findings for that level, but of mountain bike working in collaboration with the volunteers, scientists have managed to simulate the circulation of plastic in the mediterranean

. this animation shows why the problem requires an international solution. the, the problem almost seem to do then the problem is it's not enough to pick up the rubbish show. and then let me expand. we need to ensure that no more garbage ends up in the environment by taking action to avert and stopped the constant flow of waste into our seasons. maybe not the fall of san francisco, please. yes. under pressure from the general public, researchers and activists. the european union band, many single used plastic products in 2021. the hope is that eventually plastic plates, cups and straws will be banished from everyday life. with

a cotton that suffers from many other ecological abuses as well. many landscapes these days are increasingly devoid of bird song and the buzzing of insects. nature has become troubling. lay silent. what's happened for thousands of years. human kind has coexisted comfortably with nature. a farming activity even contributed to local biodiversity. but once intensive agriculture, which relies heavily on pesticides took over plants and animals began to die out and their disappearance as know accelerating at a dramatic rate. the today 40 percent of insect species, world wind are at risk. and around 15 percent of bird species,

native to europe are in danger of extinction. the the decline and insect populations because the cause of great concern. in 2019 the popular saved the bees initiative and bavaria forced the local government to take radical steps to promote the biodiversity. this demonstrates that citizens can act to protect in nature and are doing so across here. the unusual experiment is underway in the south of england rather than protect what already exists to scientists are attempting to reverse the process. it seems utopian, but the results speak for themselves. the large blue butterfly became extinct.

people were obviously horrified that you could no longer say it in this country. i knew it, and nobody could really understand why i lived with the last colony for 6 years measuring almost every thing. and alas, it was just too late to save it, a. jeremy thomas and david sim cox are to enter maladjusted, who became famous for having successfully reintroduced a rare species of butterfly. the large blue. it was no easy task. after years of tireless detective work, jeremy thomas discovered that the butterfly depends on a very specific species of and without it it cannot reproduce. and the species of ant itself needs a very specific natural environment. this obviously is a very much a heat loving and i'm gram temperature is actually determined by the height of this

comes across. so the tool is across grows the cooler the grams guides. and once that happens level because of the late fee is replaced by other spaces of red, and this is why the bus light became extinct. and as a result of modern farming practices, cows disappeared from the meadows, upsetting the prevailing natural balance. the grass grew to answer driven out, and the large blue disappeared went extinct in 1979. but almost immediately, we took the decision that we would try to reintroduce it, because we thought we understood what it needed in this country. a nice the 1st step was to restore the grassland to its former state, jeremy and david convinced livestock farmers to allow their cows to graze there again. the only this specific interaction between humans, ruminants and grass lands,

could restore the butterflies habitat once that have been done and went site said recovered, we set about finding a suitable source of large blues to see if we really had recreated the habitat and to release them in person was really fortunate to enjoy the phone and i like the end of the east coast to sweden for overland, where actually funds launch please. i had one of those moments that you any have once or twice in your life of, of raising the lights in the evening. and the 1st thing that happened was a lot cleveland. with my face, i'm it still gives, she was at my spine, thinking the backs it not dismissal them here. i was able to find eggs and we were able to bring it back to do i 1st trial introduction. that was really very,

very groundbreaking. this meticulous and pioneering work took decades and in the end, they achieve their goal, the return of the large blue, the historically, the launch, the used to occur in the back 6 different regions in the u. k. and we've now got it established in 2 websites. we could also show that to maintaining the sites in a suitable condition of the large blue benefited many other spaces. we didn't have to 6. an objectively watch these things decline and we could actually do something of bachelor's, it's electronics spaces. and if we can really save spaces like this, then we can, we can do anything or their achievement demonstrates that human intervention can

be constructive. but the work also lays bear with the complexity of the process. and the need to act before a species disappears. this is why over the last few decades, europe has been giving sanctuary status to certain areas in order to preserve their buying diversity. the europe is home to a numerous nature reserves, not 2 or 2000. and the emerald network form the largest coordinated network of protected areas in the world. their main objective is to protect on across national basis, the most endangered plant and animal species in europe. today this network represents 18 percent of the continents land territory at 8 percent of its maritime

territory. one of the most valuable nature reserves is in the varden c. in this coastal landscape, located in the netherlands, germany and denmark. human activity is reduced to a strict minimum. this own has always been a haven and an important resting area for migratory birds. so it's, i'm just like this guy called the developer saying that they need to be able to meet the length of that and see the entire world, which is something that's developed over thousands of years. it's an incredibly important thing in the world wide eco systems that these birds that are possible even every year in the spring after wintering and africa, the birds fly off to nest in the north. a 10000 kilometer flight with a varden c marking the halfway point here, up to 15000000, migrating birds can rest before continuing on their way to siberia. it's also

a stop over a point on their return journey. in the fall the area is closely studied by scientists among them on a solid, just ab corbin's baltic, full belonging. i've seen this, what was most important to me is conserving nature and stuff. and that's really what drives me why i chose this job. even small changes can have a big effect on things. when a low risk pos and protecting a scenario, you immediately see a lot more species that work design and all that. so it's really great about how professionals fucked up by the hour. such can make that happen. that's what we're going to show. if i click it will be the same. nobody's an angel industry is this, is it. so they were trying to find some birds that we've already tacked. and so we know goal the data so that we know where they are. we can then use the data to track where they are and do all sorts of other analysis and research. for example,

we want to find out what they've been a significant enough to know if they are going to accept this i, i that i filled them by the ball to say your isn't in the for the day. this will be this both are compared to the vitamin c is an into title area. there are various different much slots which are underwood to at high tide and try it low times. and this is happening constantly because of the bugs follow the water line. i think so as soon as the mud flaps become accessible, the birds go them in search of food today because that's where they can find the best on freshest things to use to. psychically, these are going to fit into the fun. see, is almost completely protected, yet it's not immune to the effects of global warming on sea levels. since the beginning of the 20th century, sea levels have increased more and for each year. what exactly does this mean for

life here? the developers are using the button c as a dynamic and tremendously resilience system and is quite good as adjusting the site because the amount of time it's under water can change daily. the temperature swings in the small systems can be massive and all the animals and not the system can adjust well to that as well. so in that sense, the vitamin c is very robust with protecting nature means preserving its resilience . this applies to coast lights and other bio tubs, to a deep box like those of the old funding region in belgium are a very special habitat, the acidity, and this oil gives rise to a fascinating flora. including carnivorous plants, the,

the old find you have been protected since 1957. and with good reason, the p boggs decomposed plant remains trapping their carbon in the soil. they are thus able to store 10 times more c o 2 than any other eco system. people have to cover only 3 percent of the earth surface, but they store at least twice as much c o. 2, as all the forests on the planet combined. for far too long marshes had been drained and turned into farm land. but today, many regions of europe are seeking to restore them, including in germany, the many bogs still remain unprotected. in lithuania, pete is still used for heating and generating electricity which triggers the release of the massive amounts of carbon dioxide stored inside

the huge primary forest are a unique heritage and yet measures to protect them have failed miserably. these the virgin forest, the oldest on the continent, most a wealth of native species, an unparalleled biodiversity. their value is immeasurable, and yet they are in danger of disappearing. according to recent studies, only a few isolated primary forests are left in europe. and even these are under threat . the one of them is in romania spa gosh, mountains region. under the child, she has to go dictatorship. it was largely out of balance for the public, the realm of woodstock evidence

reports. and he thought that i had the opportunity to see the hunting reservation that's created, especially for cho, she has to be coupled with joe physically and people were afraid to hunt that for the rest of them. there was little deforestation yet. oh. and there was actually a way of protecting natural areas, not to have it, and that's why some of them still exist to them. i shelven how cool today the forest is protected by rangers like me, high chic induced assistant us because, you know, said because it's a very special place. the trees are so impressive. you almost want to help them protect you as much as they come with the. it's like a song for them. you know, a little bit. of course, maybe i'm wrong. i see. i'm about the see this now and the humidity's seemed to have changed. and then old gray as far as the air is different,

there is more humidity. these trees retain a lot of water next time the most awful da, da, da da, and those abuses don't seem boyfriend. throw put the sticker. this a tree is a symbol for the natural far as kind of a. it is had a rough time, got it. but i think it is 300 years old for all of it. it might stand for another 20 to 30 years, but in time can we move rocks from the inside to adjust the ways of its huge crowd will get too heavy and it will collapse with on. so the forest is a complete acre system fully intact. same complex, it has great scientific value, and it serves as a useful model, automatic on, on a students if you go, she called them in theory, romania is, primary forests are protected. but in reality, illegal logging is taking its toll. in 2000

to remain you still had 200000 hector's of primary forest today there are only 70000 left for the available loss. cuz a given the rates of which primary forest areas have been decreasing between 2002. and today kind of the threats over you got a little know that 10000 takes it is as far as to where and legally logged in the fall. gosh, mountains, so this should never have happened if we say it's not like this and not in your she no, no. me hi, chic and his colleagues are armed for good reason. in recent years, several rangers had been killed by poachers and increased awareness of the invaluable importance of primary forests means their defense is no longer left to researchers and activists. the entire local population is now mobilized

the protecting nature by keeping people away from it isn't a long term solution. targeted protection can restore the natural balance sometimes within just a few years. mediterranean fish, dogs have dwindled alarmingly since the advent of mass tourism and industrial fishing here in the bay of los candle of corsica, marine life had all but disappeared 30 years ago. what since then, it is become a protected nature, reserve and home to an array of biodiversity. your money domenici is in charge of the scandal in nature reserve. what's your use? you can most yep. i started diving into protected maritime area of scan to law. then i started diving outside the reserves, and i saw that it was basically it does,

it does. yeah. he and his team are doing their annual inventory of aquatic fine, the piece of mind to achieve the shift. and there is incredible by diversity in the protected areas is an incredible treasure and indispensable, downstairs and abundance. as practically post these easy post, especially bigger fish, with reproduction, right, many times higher than smaller fish and lots of discounts to see it. as a distinctive scandalized is that regulation is a definitely to the management of habitat spaces and that the regulation is followed. it needs to be more than just the law fitness. but when regulation is respected and specific goals for its management of followed, nature responds, we will create environmental assets. that's the development you see that was the national parks. a very strong economic drive is that can have

a positive effect on the local or even national level c, not for the shown the cost of you today. fishermen understand that a natural was the benefit of doing it. results in great efficient dogs which go beyond the borders of the reserve 6, once fishermen understand that they've understood everything so death to complete mankind's relationship to its natural surroundings is complex. in europe, in particular, many economies and activities are so closely linked to the environment that the line between human nature often blurs the . but what happens to these bio chops when left to their own devices? this can be seen in our studios in northern spain, the. this time a single moment until you get lost cbs home on that. we're seeing that the human

activity underway in the last 23 or 4000 years on this land is disappearing for about 1030. so this entire territory will continue to evolve into a more natural ecosystem until she stand by. categories must not throughout the vast regions of europe have been deserted by their inhabitants. by 2100, spain could lose half its population. when humans move away flora in front of re take the land, this development has been observed by natural scientists. roberto after sanchez meet the whole and that's, that's the one thing. yes. my work in these mountains is to find out how nature works. system us and we said it because it has come out us. we're very close now to camera is positioned here. that's allow,

is to monitor things weakly. some repulsively, it's quite likely that some bears a wandering around somewhere right now. but then it's almost half an hour, have gone a sofa. when we began, there were only 13 bears here. boy, let's see the mouse or possibly over $300.00 in the area we work and it's the fastest growing population in europe. this is dr. skin going to get their name was with it is a dependent most of so we have filters. there's also a few wolves sized. there's so much fire diversity throughout the entire region of a serious about the lead up to come in $10.00 to $3030.00,

the okay. very much how much for holding this up. i'm being a part of a true we can see a young bear digging into blueberry bushes. our case i must be here is a female bear with our clubs sticking open until looking for unto larvae to eat most from the last. lot of us on this, but argument that said a yes the, the populated areas revert to a form of wilderness elsewhere. however, the opposite is underway with wild animals venturing into the big cities driven out of the country side by the intensification of agriculture. they take refuge in urban areas in search of food and shelter. in some neighborhoods, there is more bio diversity than even in rural areas.

the scientists are able to reconstruct the animal migrations using gps trackers. the data shows that hedgehogs, raccoons and bats tend to stick to one area. while wild boars and foxes travel long distances within the urban biotech, the some more varied, the cities fonda, the more predators that attracts in 2020 a wolf was even spotted roaming the german capital. the. this calls into

question the division between the natural world and the civilized world. but wasn't that decided a long time ago? season going home with beauty, visits, keeping habits, it areas and by diversity are not mutually exclusive on slide these candidates and should not be left to chance and it needs to be plan just need to plan. and this requires close cooperation between biologist ecologists landscape plan as well, and architect simon and i take them to take note of thomas, how is a landscape architect the key and to his team have developed a new approach to urban planning in an attempt to boost biodiversity in urban spaces, the hum do me to the animal 8 of the so we have developed the animal aided design method. this is a planning method with the name of integrating wild life into other planning inter landscape architecture and open space planning. but i don't plan on doing degree

and this animal assisted design is used in planning in berlin unit and london. the concept is evidence of a wider rethink that's now under way european civilization has developed by pitting human kind against nature. but humans and nature are a part of the same indivisible entity in france, biologist, a policy sally, has launched another bold project home on the we came back to europe after working in the tropics and realize there are no longer any primary forests in europe. and i thought that this was scandalous. my plan is to provide them here in western europe on the west. are these objective is usually ambitious to create a $70000.00 hector sanctuary of forest struggling several countries. right in the center of europe. leaving the area abandoned for several centuries until

a new primary forest develops. mostly bulky to city post clearly shows. okay more better. i believe that the really beautiful, important, and lasting things in life. take time to the pony, keep make that up for the person to lay the 1st stones of a cathedral knew that they would never see the end result. so you can see that this tree is shape like a spiral. it's only a matter of time think it's you don't, but you controversial project that will last several centuries could she be to not long ago on these project would have been met with skepticism. but today the response is overwhelmingly positive. even in brussels. the european union has launched a program to plant 3000000000 trees by 2030, so it could soon be implemented. the fix definitely won't be out of balance to the public already, but for people sometimes say such will be

a century. so they don't like these terms may revisit 12 months, only be allowed to encourage slushy. the one condition, however, with names of other stuff, people respect what surround stomach, you don't to the in europe. nature has always been used and then shaped in the process, which in turn shaped those that lived there. if harmony is ever to be found, a new approach is needed to one based on respect your knowledge. and a fair approach. finding that path forward will not be easy.

the pulse, the beginning of a story that takes us along for the ride. it's about the perspectives culture information. this is the the news w. mine's

the meeting, the he drives. and what's behind van d. w. news? i forgot the show that hopefully issues shaping the continents slowly getting back to normal. here we're on the streets to give you enough for points on the inside corresponds is on the ground reporting from across the continental as a friend of mine. so i have to, you don't lose, i forgot every friday on dw,

the, this is definitely news live from for the, for me, you as president, donald trump, now under a wrist, trump my case of the 1st quote of parents in miami and i, his story, criminal case for my president is formally charged in connection with mishandling
