the world's supply comes from syria and large parts of that end up in countries like jordan and saudi arabia. so whether it is out of genuine concern for the syrian people or because of national interest, many and the error breach and have decided that the shuttle said will be part of his country's future. despite reservations from the west, eva reporting that, that's it from me under the same phenomenon that for you at the top of the gather offers and berlin from me and the new scene. thanks for watching the really perfect hearing. instead of responsive the global business of asbestos, this is not legitimate because the people that are in don't 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 d. w. schmidt . tonight you probably human kind is not very resilient. we're easy to kill the cutter throats and it's all over again with a tree. you can cut an huh. and it will still survive. so a body tree will take full belonging to explain this smell good enough. my goal is to preserve nature and that's, that's the great thing about the professionals that we can do that with rosette. yes. ok. that's what we're going to show. if i click on the answer to it 3030 ok time. once we get into this whole area is transforming into a natural ecosystem, i could always must not to doubt fission own inhabited areas and via diversity, not mutually exclusive, but this cannot and she will not be left to chance for the velocity. this is 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 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

church forrest 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 cited, slide thousands of moves and not to not have pocket nicely should have you quote, i think working in the national congress in 2012. when i 1st arrived, it was completely green. when does this one? let us get you on the line. the snow, the skate, it's incredible how foster can change and how on a compromising nature can be shown. yeah, it's hard to deal with actually. i mean, i'm getting

a veteran forester. sabina balding has witnessed the catastrophic impact of development in the hearts mountains firsthand. that comments life up to on some some i might be honest advice because she still has always supposed to deal to the future, but i understand what you sent us 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 a spc split. it needs a balance, cool, and human decline that job. and that's exactly what we haven't had over the last few years. it's, it's of a high temperatures. the stock of water has strong and some light and also high wind room. so she will pass and lots of evaporation within the spruce is drawing out support the that makes them fragile based on easy talk about the vault veto 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 and think reading, stacy bruce doesn't find back. so the beatles and mit federal made them send

a truck to live friends with all the females. drill terminals in the book 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 forests all across europe. a dc split is smell spruce is patrice b. c promises the best economic return, the hub. it looks like the stock market. it's ok for tonight. if you invest in spruce, if you don't have a high yield times, good profit offers, of course not been only so long as nothing goes wrong. if i, if i can not see him, leave him 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, bahama. so that's another part close to sean, which does on the all p here in the national park. we're 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 2 in the areas like these initially look a nominal snake. 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 as a completely different forest as emerging than the one we knew before. the state of this old yes, but structure really rich and that type of force to be more resilient to climate improvements as well. 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 it 7 ways and find its own solutions llc, which we thought it 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 be 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, 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 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 upside is kind of one. so just ice normally play act. we want to drill to ice. coolest if the

ice men we project just done, please. hi alpine lacey is there all kinds that can teach us about climate development in the past. and also about mind made pollution, these are the idea is to collect these valuable archive student outline. gracie is from the ice cores at night and takes them to a safe place where they cannot be damaged by melting said, is that safe place that is on top to catch the end? often on time it must be good. then now we want to make that material available to future generations or for such as a few long stay. it's by incense, as yonder does all come to month, 20 years or so. you wouldn't be able to drill an ice caps that still contains the information that it does today. high 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 alps 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 outs lose their 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 of revealing how human kind and nature are inextricably linked. there needs to be fast, far reaching decisions made in the political space and with technology. the otherwise human kinds destructive way of life will not change in time. the contusions, individuals, all united in the struggle to preserve the natural environment,

such as the typhoon project in lim, nursing grease. so you almost don't have, you know, there's been different areas in the history of mankind, delete the stone and the iron age, which if the bronze age today we can say we're living in this plastic 80 plus the 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 the she's the success of the time soon as a project that runs $365.00 days a year. oh my god, that was still fine tuning it. so you must 18 on the same. we still in the, in the pilot stage, we still learning and adjusting kind of was on the original english to clean up 50 meters of show line. then we decided to extend it to a 150 minutes. uh, because coming up on this uh, i got the for the rest of the guy days, guy,

the situation has gotten worse and 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 located, there are still 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. it's almost, you know, the frontier videos that the hold on maureen, pollution effects, our country and others in many different ways. it as it goes across people with music and the 1st of all, it ruins the landscape. do you see that every time you go to the beach to take a walk or have a swim beat as you think it affects the health of local residents? because it doesn't stay on the be negotiable, stuff them

a copy of that obviously gets the better you get paid as it also contaminants, water, the food on our plates, the even fish now contain caustic particle and you have a property among plastic. cool. what's the form is the type who and project works together with scientists and helps them advance their research into marine pollution be at coastal or deep sea pollution or gift. this will be focused file, so we found pieces of junk with bar codes from russia, russia, and from turkey, equity just you bought quotes from i think, given that both democrats, the use of bar codes allow us to determine the origin country date on factory with the rubbish comes from them. 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 given the problem is it's not enough to pick up the rubbish show and then let me expand them. 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 birds on the buzzing of insects. nature has become troubling. lay silent. what's happened for thousands of years. human kind has co existing 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 no accelerating 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 is the cause of great concern. in 2019 the popular save the bees initiative and bavaria forced the local government to take radical steps to promote 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 everything. 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 hands on ground. temperature is actually determined by the heights of this comes across. so the tool is across grows the cooler the grams guides. and

once that happens, then because of the late fee is replaced by other spaces of red atoms, i'm, this is why the bus light became extinct. and as a result of modern farming practices, cows disappeared from the meadows of setting 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. not 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 once site said recovered, we set about finding a suitable source of large plays to see if we really had recreated the habitat and to release them in person was really fortunate to in the phone and i like the end of the east coast to sweden for overland. where i actually find lodge, please. i had one of those moments that you any have once or twice in your life, arriving the late in the evening. and the 1st thing that happened was a lot longer to my face. i'm. it still gives, she was at my spot, thinking the backs it not dismissal them here. i was able to find eggs and we were able to bring x box to do i 1st trial the 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 they 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 conditions. 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, electronic spaces. and if we can really save spaces like this, then we can, we can do anything this. their achievement demonstrates that human intervention can

be constructive. but the work also lays bare 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 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 using the vitamin 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 time i select this car called the developer saying that the heat available tripping. they named the vitamin c the entire world, which is something that's developed type of thousands of years. it's incredibly important name in the world wide eco systems that these birds that are possible every year in the spring after wintering and africa, the birds fly off to nest in the north, or a 10000 kilometer flight with a varden c marking the halfway point tier 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 hobbins. both full belonging to explain this what was most important to me is concerning nature and stuff. that's really what drives me here. by the way i chose this job. even small changes can have a big effect on things. when a lower risk, pos and protecting assessment area, 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 uncle 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 need to kind of in the box in our

we're going to tax stuff and that's i, i that i filled them by the ball to say your isn't in the for the day. this will be, this will partial birth, the vitamin c is an into title area. there are various different mudflats, which are underwood to at high tide and try at low tide. and this is happening comes to me 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 to die because that's where they can find the best on freshest things to eat. just actually, these are kind of in 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 year? developers are using the button c as

a dynamic and tremendously resilience system. and it's quite good. it's 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 in that 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 decompose 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 your its

primary forest are unique heritage and yet measures to protect them have failed miserably. these a virgin forest, the oldest on the continent, most a wealth of native species and 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 regents. under the child, she has to go dictatorship. it was largely out of balance for the public, the woman who talk of this report, then he thought that i had the opportunity to see the hunting reservation that's

created, especially for child. she has to be capital joe physically and people were afraid to hunt them for the rest of them. and there was little deforestation yet. all there was actually a way of protecting natural larry is 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 music or, you know, send me some very special place. the trees are so impressive. you almost want to help them. i'll protect you as much as i can. it's like a song for them a little bit. of course, maybe i'm wrong. let's see. i'm about do you happen to see this now? and the humidity's seemed to have changed in an old grove as far as most of the areas difference. there is more humidity. these trees retain

a lot of water if something was awful. the data and those abuses don't seem boyfriend, throw put the sticker. this the 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 just the ways of it's huge? crowd will get too heavy and it will collaborate on the forest is a complete ecosystem 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 before the available loss cuz we're 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 exit is as far as to where and the locked in the fall, gosh, mountains. so this should never have happened to be so it's not like this and not in your she nor 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. but since then, it has become a protected nature, reserve and home to an array of biodiversity. jo, money, domenici is in charge of the scandal of nature, reserve the most f i started diving into protected maritime area of scandal law. then i started driving 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

font, the chief of the ships. and the reason incredible by diversity in the protected areas is an incredible treasure and indispensable, downstairs and abundance, as practically post the easy but especially bigger fish, with reproduction, right? many times higher than smaller fish and lots of discounts to see it. as of the strength of 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 low fitness. when regulation is respected and specific goals for its management of followed, nature responds. we will create environmental assets. that's good developments. 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. see that's what you've shown

. then any other questions today, fishermen understand that and natural was the benefits and it results in great efficient dogs which go beyond the borders of the reserve 6. once fishermen understand that they've understood everything so that the company mankinds 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 tops when left to their own devices. this can be seen in our studios in northern spain, the. this time will signal momentum, u. k. last tv that's home on that we're seeing is that the human activity underway

in the last 23 or 4000 years on this land is disappearing authenticate. 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 scientist, roberto after sunshine, need to have a hole in your suppose one thing, yes. my work in these mountains is to find out how nature works. is thomas and we said it because it has come on us. we're very close now to cameras . positions here that's allow is to monitor things weekly. some, repulsively, it's quite likely that some bears

a wondering around somewhere right now of the send them to come a sense of what have gone. and so since when we began, there were only 13 barriers here, we will see the amount or possibly over $300.00 in the area we work and that's the fastest growing population in europe. this is stuck with you and going to get the name of the width is documented most so. so we have voters, there's also a few wolves sized. there's so much fire diversity throughout the entire region of a serious of the lead. up to come in 10 to 3030. the

most of most are holding their stuff. i'm being happy with true. we can see a young bear digging into blueberry bushes at this time, most viewed here is a female bear with our clubs digging open until looking for an larvae to eat most candle. a lot of us are lots of mucous, but uh, we meant that today. 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 while bores and foxes travel long distances within the urban biotech, the some more varied the cities phone or 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? susan won't home with beauty, visits, keeping habits, and areas and by diversity, not mutually exclusive and slut these candidates and should not be left to chance. and it needs to be plan just multiply. and this requires close cooperation between biologist ecologists landscape plan as well and architect simon once i'd take them to take note of indian thomas, how is a landscape architect? he and his team have developed a new approach to urban planning in an attempt to boost bio diversity in urban spaces. the home, me to the enemy and aided the so we have developed the animal aided design method. this is a planning method with the aim of integrating wild life into other planning inter landscape architecture and open space planning, but i don't platinum to any degree. and this animal assisted design is used in planning in berlin, munich,

and london. the concept is evidence of a wider rethink that's now underway. 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 call cecily has launched another bold project. home on new 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 revise them here in western europe on the west. are these objective is hugely and vicious to create a $70000.00 hector sanctuary. a 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 both clearly shows that i believe that the really beautiful importance and lasting things in life. take time to the pony and make that a 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 shaped like a spiral. it's only a matter of time. i think it's you don't, but you controversial project. that's the last several centuries place you not long ago, at least 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. who picks up definitely won't be out of balance to the public on the but for people sometimes say such will be a century. and so they don't like these terms may revisit 12 months,

only be allowed to encourage luxury. the one condition, however, helped with them. some other stuff, people respect what's around stomach, it is on 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 knowledge and a fair approach. finding that path forward will not be easy. the

enters the conflicts with sarah kelly. after months of speculation, the long anticipating ukrainian counter offensive appears to be under way. my guess this week on complex own is ukrainian deputy prime minister, all the stuff in need to know who overseas ukraine integration into the un nato. what more does she need from partners to future proof ukraine's defense conflict zone? 30 minutes on d w. can you hear

a 90 we are all set. i'm. we're watching closely. we all seem to ring of the story behind the news. we all evolved unbiased information, feel free mind due to name done the dw store once takes off 3 and 5 every day. the road gosh, i used to work for free time, like because we can take the different w call in the world, unpack all your info is and all the input your w story. now on to the,

this is dw news line from valley. a search and rescue operation is on the way off the coast of greece. rescue teams are trying to find most of us of one of the was ship breaks ever seen in the mediterranean. it's fit, hundreds could have dropped also coming up.
