the it is some of the current key, more people than in such a passion life crisis within pod for somebody to find out about baby story info, migraines, reliable news for migrant wherever they may be. the forest places of peace and century. unimportant regulations about killing this but this key habitat faces a growing threat from increasingly frequent devastating forest fires. in america, 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 accessed to base it by rising temperatures, aridity and droughts, sizes of squaring up, to new challenges. the seem, the issue of fighting forest buys and wild fights has been neglected for a long time on. it's been a minor part of 5 fighters training programs, but now many fun advises are having a rethink, throwing their weight behind new strategies, and oh, no home. and so maybe we need to be changing the landscape, investing much more in prevention expense. our goal is to completely re covers a forest, a escape that must be complete. the protecting uforce has never been more urgent. can we save them the

showing the fire? whose boss, that's the job of these 5 sizes in the can differ as far as on the canary islands. one of them is to be as thomas, a manager with at fire, a 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. you'll come back and we're putting on our protective gear with us. after another briefing, we'll be off when i get to a similar how this is joined by 18 of the participants from full countries. the technique that dining today may sound crazy at 1st, the settings find it to the forest as a protective measure. cheat um, drought mean grand canal areas, pine forest or 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 it tells them an e mail has been running close as well. yes. municipal. since i 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 pushing. you've got to work with it on the corner will and that means tough physical look. removing brush, creating 5 brakes. the 5 boxes from the u. k. thailand, gemini, and spain. to be as how long is the volunteer as far as 556 in regular life. he's a paramedic, like many of the others who's paid the cost be out of his own pocket. 1500 euro's your minus. i was like, we're doing it alongside our main jobs giving in our heart and soul. your mind is 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 and know it's playing and increasingly crucial role. so the north america has, like 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 forest fine management and prevention. i'll be in position 311200 to 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 quickly with 3 drawing needles. brush and bronx is 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 control then encourages the growth of new cross is bushes and trees. they bind the previously mentioned volume of c o 2, making for a close cycle. through their effects 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 fire prevention is windy, practiced in southern europe, but firefighters in northern europe need more experience paul coast foundation, co founder one come on. you is working to bridge that gap, the southern mediterranean country 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 just it was a positive experience and 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 state. this is the ad fire association has demonstrates that the importance of methods like these several times. like in 2022 in the eastern german state 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 hose 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 there is completely secured by an exposure, but so that'll slow things down source and hospice. you at funding now has about 500 members. the association was founded 20 years ago to help southern european font crews during p qualify as the the know how gained on these missions is turning out to be useful back home. germany as well. and 5 risk has

been steadily rising since the 19 seventy's in recent years. more hot and dry periods have further increased 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, 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. the issue of finding forest buys and wild flies has been neglected for a long time. it's been a minor part of 55 is training. one of the goals of ad fine is to plug these knowledge. gov. that's why they pulsing on know how god that abroad to find 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. mila. are going to high tech rate so we've got our hot plate here. now we're going to load with the material to some of they are they've prepared a special experiment in their own lab. or, and that's home of my visibility, and i can but 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,

an inch deals on they call the device and electronic notice software reveals whether the smoldering fire has been detected. who please to it's a of health reaction. yes. there's a quarter of okay. increase the cost for the test and the lab is a success plane showed his team updates every improvement straight away in early forest fire detection. every 2nd counts because it would help us a lot, right, because then the flip them yet. so here we've got the finished product with the solar cell and here the gas and so 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. so the energy

that 30 member international team is now working on enhancing the technology at 2 locations because every forest smells different things to to and luna training the nose is to recognize a variety of plants. 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 to attend the shift change at the fire station, integration town of the going spain. 55, and my new l lopez rodriguez is doing the hand of the 45 hose. the 45. the a great. so it's all in order right? yes. mon lopez rodriguez has been working for the

bump 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. the people say is that 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. some undefined finish woke up on time on us of all the countries in europe, spain is one of the worst effected by forest bias. on 2022 was a rank code breaking. yeah. more than $300000.00 tech to wind up in flames in the mileage. is it really normal that every summer thousands have hector'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. if you don't see anything difficult. so if we want to stop the

forest from burning every summer of the month, we need to start thinking about what kind of forest we want. okay, most cadillac veto is surrounded by highly flammable mono cultures. that's why the fi to is attacking the boost if the problem and in his free time exchanging his file size. and guess what? got me to 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 gunpowder to didn't know what that is, especially if you consider that these trees are pyre of fights. that has to be 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 go, because most of these natural fire, etc, runs, have been removed. the replaced by the riots have ceilings, elda hazelnut, the volunteers prolong many different species of tree. this creates a climate friendly mixed forest that stays cooler and more humid, which detest, by a few kilometer, is further on the fruits of the day, the 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 the spheres 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 if there is a crab apple tree over there, the must see that. but all of us that is such as trees now form a 1010 a p of leaves fairly pennant triple by the rise of the sun. be proud to have stuck with this project project run by an entire community. but i mean, it's something that gives my life a purpose. and that is simply 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 a shuttle by portable company that's also why the firefighter and environmental list has some other interesting ideas up his sleeve involving animals and brandenburg. the bandits fire brigade is beginning a training exercise to be as thomas and his colleagues from f

file sharing new far is fine. know how with the volunteer 55 is i'm me shall do a pump and roll here and rob and i'll take you through the tools. can you see the goal for today is that each station can practice on the fire or, and keep it under control. the have fun and good luck with them. i think we're just getting group one, this group 2 of the place you fired from them. the fire brigades should learn to safely master the basics of finding wildfire software. 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 done with the most important selection of the devastation. fi isn't then it's the local fire brigade source help from the specialist club and show that demonstrates the tools needed for the job. steve o, this is a good glue. 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 shopping knocking. but although it's exhausting, look, it'll help to simplify later. this is so as is a 1st for until they pause them on who's been volunteering with the brigade for 5 years. so nothing hits off of that. yeah, it's the 1st time i've used anything like this. we don't usually do basic stuff like this. we have this one, but i'm really going for it. no, it's hard work. awesome, and that is an engineer working and renewables. he's a q t aware of the danger that lies ahead. brandon book is one of the most ard states in germany. that's policy due to the region sunday terrain which tries out quickly . as temperatures rise, move walter evaporates plants and soil with a exacerbating drought conditions. the tiniest spot could trigger a catastrophe, is the 1st with desertification to protect it for this region in the coming decades

. what we're doing here is increasingly important. excellent. 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. star is fine. expect to be as follows. sets the field on fire. if the flames don't jump the brakes, the bell, it's $55.00 has have done everything. right. i'd say that's what we want. now you can see what we learned this morning. i've got a 5 that's totally wind driven. if there wasn't a break, that you could almost chapter 5 from behind, many of the kind of hard to the new the kids trips defy the fire. only the wind could dangerously found the flames. now, the professionals demonstrate what happens then. this is a reset, spot, fire westerly, direction, spot fire to the west. there's a piece of road you that will move in the firefighters, get the flames quickly under control with just a few lease is the voice of any embers. a put out with tools for the business

brigade. this was an illuminating 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. is 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 them 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 $300.00 coats live here on the farm and delicious northern spain. 5 by so many way, lopez rodriguez, hopes they will help him best to protect his forest from any future places. and

time was this good. 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. precisely how these gods can help to prevent wild fires is demonstrated by the animals and how some federal humanist the farm is in central condition surrounded by expensive woodlands. to stop these forests from catching fire came off some federal jimenez. the took goats deposited in the wood every day. each animal munch has its way through, up to 3 chinos across and hey, every day the animal spend all the time on grazing on the underground, along with cross smooth branches, dry wood, and leaves also on the menu, all of it, honey, flammable steel. this is a gorse bush about 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 that they'll 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 a it's a natural and effective way to prevent fire the phone and lives from the sale of the goats means far as maintenance is a simple but practical out on the in the past. aggregate forestry with animals was also common place and countries like germany, the forest was used as a positive for goats, cheap accounts. but as livestock when moved into stalls, the practice was precaution, occurring to european study office proves that these animal species reduce deadwood and forest. bringing goes back into the woods, can considerably less than the risk of fine. uh, it opens, i've got an advert forestry practices are declining because real populations are also into kind 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, i put them in things in c panel. i'd like to see if my experience could serve as an example of a simpler way. lopez rodriguez is sold on the idea of animals carrying out fire prevention work. he wants to bring goats into his woods very soon. pinned my recess before our society needs many more people like him. i think you might be showing people with a vision with conviction, what courage and engagement companies, you know, they strongly otherwise, but she wants to make the world a better place to get into that listed window, which will allow them to your rekindling old traditions, to protect the forest strategy that could be exposed to other nations and brandon book, things are getting serious. it's crunch time for the electronic forest fire snippets. cost in plain show it to and his team of testing the early warning system

. will it look? okay? so click bring the green material here please. close to the fireball forestry scientist young miller has been fascinated by wildfire since he was a boy. but you know, i grew up here in short, ida, i saw a wildfire at the age of 10. i saw the destruction and the animals running away. he ended to stay with me. the 50 the forestry scientist knows that the local conifers pose a particular risk 70 percent of old forest and brandenburg, a pine forest, a veritable powder keg. they catch fire quickly and then take the flames to residential areas, playing sure to hoops. his electronic noses will put a stop to bass. like this is this time really is running out is we need to act rapidly on a huge scale to counted this threaten

a threat that's already that, and that we're all sensing and saying goodman's in a in king. so the 1st of the team sets up a network of senses and detecting fine gases and sounding the non one sense is enough for one heck to a sensor like this costs around 50 year ends to ensure health arrives as fast as possible. the signal has to get through a kid happens a lot, you're 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 teeth of homes over not mesh gateways. these mesh gateways function like internet route is powered by sorta energy. the sensors carry the alarm signal to the gateway on the edge of the forest from here the day to ascend to an advice such a lights and radium offs. today's testify is secured by the fall into a fire brigade. white one. we've got a larger group today,

they want to observe as well. usually the fire brigade is only aware of the fi. one 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 has to have the 1st one's already gone off right here. that one despite the 2nd this month's really sick, now comfortable if you only find a set these toys. oh, that's amazing. that's brilliant. let me look how fast i know you've seen fires. you have to have the forest, bernie, and we're able to locate a potential fire before it gets under way of getting bronchitis that so i can live them any 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, spain and greece already ordered sensors ahead of the 2023 wild fire season. i'm incentive for playing show to, and milan to further home to technology. and then we'll develop other senses to measure ground humanity and growth density. meso, how vision is to provide the far as with the comprehensive protection and not just against the acute stress of wild fires auto swipe under this you to europe and other regions around the world. of 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

eco indeed. how can a country's economy grow in harmony with these people and the environment? when there are doors, look at the bigger picture, india, a country that faces many challenges, engines, people are striving to create a sustainable future. clever projects from europe and india, pico india in 30 minutes on the w. the

this is dw news live from berlin, israel and its military operation in the city of jeanine, left behind the ruins after 2 days and droned, strikes and break. at least 13 palestinians were killed, and there was new rock, the fire from casa and to israel. also coming up, the polish military steps up patrols along the border with bell of roofs. that's after report said a cap for a south russian mercenary leader. you.
