of the countries, the electricity sector, courageous investigation revealed a complex network of the criminal syndicates. 77 percent. into 60 minutes. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. magic corner check. hot spot for food and some great cultural memorials to w travel off we go, the forest, places of peace and century, unimportant regulations of our climate. but this can, you have a ton of faces, a growing threat from increasingly frequent devastating forest fires. you may have

heard of that, we've been seeing the effects of climate change for years now in germany to this year's fires were catastrophic. you know, and we can expect to repeat. the problem is excessive base it by rising temperatures, rid of g, i'm droughts, science sizes, squaring up to new challenges. this team, the issue of fighting forrest bias and wi fi has been neglected for a long time. it's been a minor part of 5 fight as training programs, but now many fund advises having a rethink, throwing their weight behind new strategies. and oh no how? it's only been, i mean, we need to be changing the landscape. investing much more in prevention meets our goal, is to completely recovers a forest. a escape. it must be complete. the protecting of forests has never been more urgent. can we save them the

a showing the fire whose boss, that's the job of these 5 sizes in the can the 1st forest on the canary islands. one of them is to be as thomas, a manager with ad, find it to them and dissolves to management and g. o. far as far as i one of the organizations specializations. it wasn't just we're here on grand canal area getting ready for the control burn. that's going to happen here on the mountain, the off the back, and we're putting on our protective gear. after another briefing, we'll be off when i get those to know how this is joined by 18 of the participants from full countries. the technique that dunning today may sound crazy at 1st, the settings find it to the forest as a protective measure. cheat drought mean bron canarios, pine forest are dry as a bone. they can go up in flames at any time. the prescribed bones are tried and

tested prevention method here, $55.00 to add to a toes. i'm an e mail has been running closest for years. i mean, there's a motion for a long time. we just focused on putting out the fire fighting the fire. will you have to not, and at some point is we realize that you can't and cycle to fire washing. you've got to work with it on coordinates will and that means tough physical look removing brush, creating 5 brakes. the 55 is that from the u. k. poland gemini, and spain to be as follows, is a volunteer as far as 556 in regular life. he's a paramedic, like many of you have is he's paid the cost be out of his own pocket. 1500 euros. you might have, i was like, we're doing it alongside our main jobs giving in our heart and soul. now we're also carrying out prescribed burns of increasingly large areas in germany. and we're applying exactly what we've learned here down to here. so i reckon it's money. well

spent and most of all the time, well invested funding prescribed funding is already common practice in many places, including the us, australia, and southern europe on know it's playing and increasingly crucial role the north america has. and we've been seeing the effects of climate change for years now in germany to this year's fires were catastrophic. and we can expect to repeat with these exercises of being organized by the spanish poll cost of foundation. the international organization specializes in far as defined management and prevention . i'll be in position 3. 11 is 200. a ton of to the all do is preparation. the fire is on now let's participants start small for us with special kind of status. the flames quick, a ripped 3 drawing needles, brush i'm bronchitis is that the area we're burning now won't burn during the next

vegetation phases, it will all be nice and green for the next few years. each fire images, climate can is c o 2 into the atlas van. but the controlled done encourages the growth of new crosses, bushes and trees. they bind the previously mentioned volume of c o 2, making for a close cycle through their efforts. tell us and the other volunteers are clearing far as debris and preventing the spread of a blaze that could jump to the trees. this approach to forest fi prevention is windy, practiced in southern europe, but 55 has in northern europe, need more experience. paul cost the foundation, co founder one come on you is working to bridge that gap, the southern mediterranean countries where we have been suffering fires for many

years, but now it's something new to many northern european countries. so the network is everything because the way that we can exchange that experience, i'm not the. the grand canaria exercise was tough, but instructive. as my fancy to, it was a positive experience. we want to get people in germany more familiar with the idea of tactical fires, as well as showing that fire doesn't always have to be a bad thing because it's a stake. this is the ad fire association has demonstrates that the importance of methods like these several times. like in 2022 in the eastern german states of saxony. as a valid fire raged, specialists were called in to help the is it, somebody can see how the humans underneath has completely burned out,

leaving the entire area open. it will continue to slowly small the and gradually disintegrate itself. a long time ago, the team of volunteers baffles the ground, fired with hoes and shovels. alexander maia is in charge of the other. anything brown has to go. it's all humans and it's burning and smouldering. and just like on grand canal aria, they use breaks to keep the flames in check and carry out prescribed bones in the woods. this prevents the fire from devouring any more. if the ground is obviously it's exhausting, but it's working the entire area up to day. it was completely secured by an exposure, but so that'll slow things down source and we'll see you at funding now has about 500 members. the association was founded 20 years ago to help southern european fund crews during peak vault pharmacies and the know how i gained on these missions as turning out to be useful back home. germany as well and 5 risk has been

steadily rising since the 19 seventy's. and recently is more hot and dry periods have further increase the term so far as the bias. but until recently, local fire services have been focusing on other kinds of emergencies. to forget a traffic accident, an apartment fire requires different protective equipment. then if i'm out in the woods and it's obvious from my clothing, it's all stand and a single layer, but still 5 per se, so that you can work 8 hours or a whole day in the blazing sunshine, while the issue of fighting forest buys and wild flies has been neglected for a long time. it's been a mind a part of 5 fighters training. so one of the goals of ad fine is to plug these knowledge got. that's why they pulsing all know how gathered abroad to find the fighting colleagues in germany.

on the outskirts of eva, spider and brandon book to men of devising ways to save all forests, engineer cost, and think shorter and forestry scientists do yoga model or going to high tech rate . right. so we've got our hot plate here. now we're going to load it with a material test money on they've prepared a special experiment in their own lab. oh, and that's home of my vision. when i can vote waste simulating as far as fi which emits the same gases that would be released in a real blaze. and it's still just a very small fire like a cigarette on the 1st floor. often by the board. at the other end is a device that could turn out to be something of a revolution, census that learn how to sniff out a forest fire. and it's very early stages and uses ends with the sensors. sniff, smell the smoke and register that smells outcome. and the next time they're able to detect an incipient fire mackenzie and steals pump,

they call the device and electronic notice software and reveals with a smoldering fire has been detected. who please to it's a of health reaction. yes. there's a quarter of increase. the cost for the test in the lab is a success plane showed his team updates every improvement, straight away in early forest fi detection. every 2nd counts because we would hope best of luck, right? because then the flip them yet. so here we've got the finished product with the solar cell and here the gas sensor with the membrane on to the gas. and so it is the key element of the electronic knows what's the help of artificial intelligence . it can detect individual gases in the air at the tiniest wisp of smoke, it sounds the alarm. the technology is powered by climate friendly soda and a team that 30 member international team is now working on enhancing the

technology at 2 locations. because every forest smells different things to it. and luna training the nose is to recognize a variety of tongues. so the senses can also be used in forest around the world. they don't keep mistakes. i'm optimistic that what we've established in the lab can be implemented in the forest. invite them that the shift change at the finest ation. indignation town of vega in spain. $55.00 said money when lopez rodriguez is doing the hand of the $45.00 pose. the 45 is the great, so it's all in order, right?

yes. one lopez rodriguez has been working for the bum barrows for almost 30 years. he's deeply concerned about the sharp increase in forest fires, many of which now reach the edges of the town. it was these like for example, from here we can see a scorched eucalyptus forest. on the other side of the bay, there was a fire there about 3 or 4 weeks ago. the 1st month if i finish woke up the same on us of all the countries in europe, spain is one of the west effected by forest bias. on 2022 was a raincoat breaking. yeah. more than 300000 tech tags went up in flames. in the mileage, is it really normal that every summer, thousands of heck, there's of land to burn? no, no, it's not natural at all west for sure. natural forest fires do break out, but not like this. it can actually take the full scope. we want to stop the forest

from burning every summer, but then once we need to start thinking about what kind of forest we want, ok, most, cadillac veto is surrounded by highly flammable mono cultures. that's why the fi to is attacking the boost. if the problem engine is free, time exchanging has file size and get me to go home, i a bit more, i don't know why is it moving? okay, let's go for his targeting sauce, dining space, ease of tree, which is how much we're using these clamps to pull these australian blackwood side of the ground with the whole root if possible. right? even if some of it stays in the ground, the tree won't grow back to the left that nobody ever been a good, a huge amount of cultures. if you can look, just and australian blackwood were planted in spain for the woods and paper industry. the fast growing trees are now out of control in many places, making them a serious folio risk. the,

the plantations of things on the ground as strongly as a bone, ideal conditions for forest fire. so you can see here very clearly how close together the trees can be, and then the case of forest commercial. it might as well be gun powder t to know what that is, especially if you consider that these trees are pyre of fights, that has made a species that advances the spread of fire. the full power of 5 plants need fire to reproduce these seats on each of the nights when exposed to high temperatures. so trees, lots of blackwood acacia thrive when it burns. but what's useful for the tree is a threat to us humans. that's why i'm unaware. lopez rodriguez is slowly changing the fabric of the forest with the help of local school children and he found that his own association to carry out the world. now

a community of volunteers looks off to the forest around vehicle. the. this one is easy to pull out fatal, but this one is much more difficult. sometimes, it's not a, that's a long branch, and it's much more complicated, must complete all the bones, these natural fire, etc, runs, have been removed. the replaced by the riots have ceilings, elda, hazelnut, the volunteers plus many different species of tree. this creates a climate friendly mixed forest, but stays cooler and more humid, which to test by a few kilometer, is further on the fruits of their labor already visible. this is where the fi, so initiation his project off to 25 years. the area has grown into a healthy mixed forest. killed us, 50 is,

was for the let's see what species i can show you here. most of them. it was funny, for example, most of them you can see how the laurels are really thriving. oh, sky, yours. just like the oaks here. seem to be lucky. there's a crab apple tree over there, the must see that. but all of us that is such as trees now form of dense 10 and p of leaves fairly pendent trouble by the rays of the sun. despite the high temperature, as it stays humid here, making for a fire resistance forest, a sole movie, i'm very proud to have stuck with this project kind of a project run by an entire community. but i mean, it's something that gives my life a purpose. and that is indeed because i believe we're at a decisive point in the history of civilization and humanity that and i study of the if we don't take real action for the month of them and then it's not looking good. instead of buy portable company, that's also why the firefighter and environmental list has some other interesting ideas of his sleeve involving animals.

and brandon book, the ben, it's fire brigade is beginning a training exercise to be as thomas and his colleagues from at fire, a sharing new, far as fi. i know how, with the volunteer firefighters, me shall do a pump and roll here. and robin will take you through the tools and you see the goal for today is that each station can practice on the fire or and keep it under control to have fun and good luck. i think we're just getting group one this group to i think he plays the fire and from them the fire brigades should learn to safely master the basics of fighting wildfire. so that means conserving water, not least due to climate change. they also need to get out of the vehicle and use tools to put out the fire and some of the most important selection of the devastation. fine isn't then it's the local fire brigade source help from the specialist club. and sheila demonstrates the tools needed for the job position.

this is a good clue. that's not a german name. it comes from portugal in spain. it's a multi to them. it has its disadvantages. it's the heaviest tool, as you'll see when we start chopping nothing. but although it's exhausting, look, it will help to send the fi later. this size is assessed for until he paused them on his been volunteering with the brigade for 5 years and nothing his office is. yeah, it's the 1st time i've used anything like this. we don't usually do basic stuff like this, but i'm really going for it. no, it's hard work. awesome. and as an engineer working in renewables, he's acutely aware of the danger that lies ahead. brandenburg is one of the most ard states in germany. that's policy due to the region sandy terrain which draws out quickly. as temperatures rise, more water evaporates plants and soil with the exacerbating drought conditions. the

tiny spot could trigger a catastrophe. this is on your 1st let's desertification to protect it for this region in the coming decades. what we're doing here is increasingly important exxon . we're already feeling the effects of climate change. it's a similar picture even further to the north recent burial forest fires in siberia, alaska and canada reeked have ox, c o. 2 emissions from world science have spike drastically. and recent years, in 2021, they released twice as much c o 2. as global aviation presenting bald fires on putting the brakes on climate change at fund it is preparing fire brigades for the future limited. whenever we're out in the vehicle, we try to stay power low. it's fine if the vehicle is a slight distance from the fire oil, the shining demonstrates an efficient water saving technique for putting out fire safety. vicki ready? yes, it's good. with the pump and roll method,

the 55 is used in houses and worked directly on the fire they training for the real thing. forest fire expert to be as hello sits, the field on fire. the flames don't jump the brakes. the bail, it's 55 has have done everything, right. i'd say that's what we want. now you can see what we learned to this morning. i've got a 5 that's totally wind driven. if there wasn't a break, that you could almost trap the fly from behind. maybe it's kind of hard to the new to the kid strips to find the fire. only the wind could dangerously found the flames. now, the professionals demonstrate what happens then the patient spot fire westerly direction spot fire to the west. there's a feature, roger that will move in the firefighters,

get the flames quickly under control with just a few lease is a full set. any embers a put out with tools for the various brigades. this wasn't the newman a same day. yeah, yeah, it was great. really interesting also to see what's possible with that. what i have is that there are plenty of take away that i learned a lot that things i've never done before. to be honest and his crew also please verify your game and we provide the impetus and then it's up to the volunteer brigades to run with the ideas because god body could fit that the training ahead of the next well 5 season, which is starting earlier. and earlier, here in germany to the in stain prevention would counsel the suppose a 4 legged 5 fight is almost 300 coats live here on the farm and delicious northern

spain. 5 by so many way, lopez rodriguez, hopes they will help him face it, protect his forest from any future places. and i'm on with this because i've heard so much about you. i really want it to meet you. yeah. good or bad stuff? no. the only good only good. well, i'm good man, a free man, which is precisely how these gods can help to prevent wild fires is demonstrated by the animals and how some federal jiminez, the farm is in central condition, surrounded by expensive woodlands to stop these forests from catching fire came off some federal jimenez lee took goats deposited in the wood every day. each animal munches its way through up to 3 chinos across and hey, every day the animal spend all the time grazing on the undergrowth. as low as cross small branches, dry wood and leaves also on the menu. all of it,

honey flammable. they steal at the foot, but this is a gorse bush, but all that is one of the biggest contributors to the spread of fire and we do when they dry out in the summer. it's like they form highways for the flames. they provide to me. but here to show the goats keep the gorse and check with them and disco doesn't, you're not going to ask you normally study of what are they going to. it's a natural and effective way to prevent find the phone and lives from the sale of the goats means far as maintenance is a simple but practical out on in the past, aggregate forestry with animals was also common place in countries like germany. the forest was used as opposed to for goats, cheap accounts, but as livestock removed into stalls, the practice was forgotten. occurring to europe and study office proves that these animals bases reduce, deadwood and forest. bringing goes back into the woods, can considerably less than the risk of buying it opens. i've got an advert forestry

practices are declining because real populations are also in decline. hardly anyone lives in the country anymore. there aren't any shepherds like that's because it's getting harder and harder to make a living from farming. if your business is an intensive agriculture of what i mean things in c panel, i'd like to see if my experience could serve as an example of a sampler motorway lopez. rodriguez is sold on the idea of animals carrying out fire prevention work. he wants to bring ghost into his woods very soon. came, i know, he says, but for our society needs many more people like him on the web. assume people with a vision, with conviction, courage and engagement. companies. you know, they strongly otherwise, but she wants to make the world a better place to get into that list. a window of what's on the bottom of your rekindling old traditions to protect the forest strategy that could be exposed to other nations or in brandon. but things are getting serious.

it's crunch time for the electronic forest bias. sniff is costing playing, show it to, and his team of testing the early warning system. will it work? okay, the so think bring the green material here, please. close to the fireball forestry scientist. you camilla has been fascinated by wildfire since he was a boy. you know, i grew up here in short, ida, i saw wildfire at the age of 10. i saw the destruction and the animals running away . he ended his date with me. the 50 the forestry scientist knows that the local conifers pose a particular risk 70 percent of old forest and brandon beck, a pine forest, a veritable powder keg. they catch fire quickly and then take the flames to residential areas. puncture to hoops, his electronic noses will put

a stop to this is this time really is running out is we need to act rapidly on a huge scale to counter this, threaten a threat that's already there. and that we're all sensing and saying good ones in a, in gauging. so the 1st of the team sets up a network of sentence and detecting fine gases and sounding via non one sense is enough for one heck to a sensor like this costs around 50 years to ensure health arrives as fast as possible. the signal has to get through the kitchen happens a lot of your walking in the woods and at some point there's no more ball signal to solve that problem with setting up our own network and the forest using what's known as mesh gateways. the chief of homes are, we're not mesh gateways. these mesh gateways function like internet route is powered by. so the energy, the sensors carry the alarm signal to the gateway on the edge of the forest. from here, the data is sent to an advisor, satellites,

and radium off. today's testify is secured by the fall into a fire brigade. quite funny, we've got a larger group today. they want to observe as well. usually the fire brigade is only aware of the fi once smoke has already started rising over the forest. but the senses we pulled the font as soon as it stops on the ground. each green spots on the computer to monks a sensor. it has to have the 1st one's already gone off right here. that one despite the 2nd, the smokes really sick now called the last long list. i just said please tell me. oh, that's amazing. that's brilliant. when you look how fast you've seen fires, you have to have the forest, bernie, and we're able to locate a potential fire before it gets underway. came bronchitis that so i can a little mini fire the sense is really do and should have 5 phases are ahead of the

game cubic money off the smoke hasn't even reach the tree top and they've already sensed it now to this early detection would give us a time advantage of 10 minutes or a quarter of an hour, at least one minutes. now, the system could potentially nip destructive places in the bought customers in germany. the us bang and grease over the audit sensors ahead of the 2023 wild fire season. an incentive for playing show to and mila, to further home to technology. and then we'll develop other senses to measure ground humidity and growth density. mental health vision is to provide the far as the waves, comprehensive protection, and not just against the acute strengths of wild fires, auto swipe under this you to europe and other regions around the world are facing the prospect of new, perhaps even more devastating wild fires to protect all forests we need to act. there is no time to waste. the

lot of the problems that we have right now. why these quotes that are happening as a result for corruption, the tough way inside of the top and then a list to implement. little much of funding i spent the last couple of years expose in rocks that countries electricity sector. a courageous investigation revealed of complex network of the criminal syndicates of 77 percent. 30 minutes by boat to be assigned to the c. proud of a successful camp is retaining who's valuable experience . they're all 108000000 displaced people worldwide
