as you actually, that hamburger is not made from cows, it's made from golden retrievers. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 in meeting cultures around the world, people learned to classify small handful of animals with edible and all the rest of the classify as disgusting. a donkey series about our complex relationship with animals need to be watch now on youtube, d. w documentary it's really for you or be serving till monday, walking foster subject quite a lot. tackling coastal erosion, villages and the leaves are trying to keep an entire ocean a day. resisting the

flames. new construction methods aimed to prevent further damage in cape town, townships, and combating deforestation can brazil stopped to the destruction if it's reinforced the . what if i told you the country responsible for this was one's great at fighting deforestation. in recent years, one man has become synonymous with destruction of the brazilian, amazon former president charitable sonata. his lax policies allowed scots of rain for us to be raised to the ground during the last you 4 years. amazon was a place to go to, but it wasn't always dispatch, in fact,

because it was once good at protecting it's for it's the country previously reduced deforestation in the amazon by 80 percent over the course of 8 years. this downward trend started in the early 2, thousands under president leads the now to let us do the most just on is lula. and now both of mattel is out and louis back. the brazil has changed dramatically in the last decades. so will the country be able to combat deforestation again? here's the thing. what brazilian politicians decide to do with fair part of the amazon concerns us all, even as both of matter says, the amazon is ours, not yours. of course, the most affected are the millions of people living there and the hundreds of thousands of plant and animal species. but the amazon also plays a vital role and absorbing enormous amounts of seo to that keeps the gas from heating the address here and making seems like be more and more common around the

world is uh, the 1st 4 clean may change, but should they father's cheating amazon, we are destroying our buffer, that she's a silly, raging degree makes change. they stream events. this is lucille. my gotcha a senior researcher with results. natural institute for space research. she found out the amazon has been destroyed to such an extent that it's not admitting more carbon than it takes. and that's partly because the fires used to clear the forest relief tons of it. please window is stopping immediately. this process, we will lose at this fire trophy and muscle forward. it should become the shipping point. okay, that sounds the pressing. i promise we're getting to the solutions. but 1st, we need to understand what has allowed us to the 4th, 17 percent of the presented and amazon. here's a clue. it's a money maker, and this goes all the way back to the 19 seventy's. at that point, the reinforce was largely untouched. but the military regime that was in power per

student agendas, nationalism and economic development, it decided exploiting its biggest forest was the way to boost presented the economy in the military. in brazil, the port seeing the region as a reason to be cold courage level is the president of the institute. we got a bad, a filtering specialist and climate and security issues and involvement was paying for people to go to the amazon and amazingly, say, whatever you can do as far as will be yours. the reason that this to convince you pull to settle in a forest is considered to be uninhabited, of course, or were indigenous communities. there. it built a mass of highway to make it easier to navigate across the amazon and incentivized brazilians to move their to lock for timber and raise cattle. over the coming decades these businesses proved to be very lucrative, especially because more, more people were eating meat around the world and farmers needed lots of protein

rich story to feed their livestock. so the rain forest had to continue making space for cattle pastures and switching off, and his loss became stricter. land clearing also happened to legally, but then in 2003, it came a turning point lula took office as president at a time when deforestation was sore, and she appointed administer marina silva, who really put the reinforced on the agenda with a men success from 2004 to 2012 deforestation and the amazon went down by 80 percent. there are 3 major components that make this happen. first, a mass of expansion of protected areas. the administration added millions of hector is to be preserved by 2010 more than 40 percent of the amazon was officially under protection. these areas include conservation units and indigenous territories. designating new indigenous territories was especially important because they've been shown to preserve the forest. very successful officials come in, it's kind of band managing just showing somebody some percentage. this was the

homeless should coordinate the and geo institute to see him being file which focuses on environmental and indigenous rights. so the way and visuals, people and other traditional commitments deals. mr. morrison, this was made. busy more sense for us in general, all the new protections worked as a huge deterrent because once you have a protective area, that's why we'll make money with that last. ringback will as but that doesn't mean people could the forest all they wanted in unprotected areas. here land owners could only farm on 20 percent of their territories. and to ensure this, the government ramped up, it's monitoring it, improve that satellite system to detect deforestation in real time, and to give better training to environmental authorities and law enforcement to crack down on and legal activities. the final step was to tackle the supply chains . this only became a talking point to, to pressure from civil society cream cheese had published studies linking

deforestation in the amazon to so in the spot by major food companies, the public outcry paid off. it resulted in the swim or a tory and the beef moratorium. voluntary agreements between big food producers to stop buying these goods from new lead forested areas. the sewing moratorium was especially successful. it's estimated to have saved 18000 square kilometers for us over a decade. you might wonder how does this affect the economy and the amazon? well, it's still kept growing. agricultural production actually went up as deforestation decrease. that's because farmers were not using their land efficiently before and pastors offer remained empty. soon they were forced to plant crops and some of these under use pastures and stock more cattle on them. if this all sounds too good to be true, it's because it was around 2013 deforestation rates started climbing again during a time of political turmoil to get rid of allies of the agri business,

had pushed to weaken the laws, protecting forest and big infrastructure projects were creeping into the amazon to select the hydro electric them approved by non other than lulu. he said it was necessary for results, energy supplies, but it was in 2019 that things really started looking back for the rain forest. charitable. so when i took office and his far right platform included lots of anti environment rhetoric. so the, those environmental people, if i can, i will, can find them the amazon one day since they liked the environment. so much. remember the paradigm from the 1970s that the forest thing was key to boosting the economy. it came back, also not publicly pushed for more mining and indigenous territories. and his administration region, the environmental enforcement agencies shrinking their budgets and pushing up stuff . this created a climate of impunity that's really open to space for the cultural evasion of the criminal activities that were already there. but then that were coupled with much

more organized criminal networks, much more resources from all of the really difficult armies. the legal destruction of the amazon increasingly became part of sophisticated networks, trafficking drugs, guns, and laundering money. as a result, deforestation rates sort over the next 4 years. it's really search europe to serve until money change. well king size to, to ge equipment. the sonata was not re elected to be them with a razor thin margin in 2022. and one of the 1st things you did was go to the you and kind of talks and announce google it up to you. brazil is back. she immediately sends more law enforcement into the fuel to stop bloggers on land grabbers in january 2023 deforestation was already down 61 percent on the same month the year before. but that doesn't mean that it will be an easy task for those has changed a lot so. so the 1st took office 20 years ago used to be sitting down. no doubt.

this is a dwanda, viola from the university of some fall. she's referring to a set of new challenges like rebuilding all the institutions both and that is the administrator and dismantled the description of, of the people that are taking offices that they found. what is on think of a lot of in terms of the lack of information, of, of, you know, the, the history of what happened the, the level of public servants that asked to, to, to leave. the good news is that louis former environment administer has agreed to come back. but now her ministry will face a reinforce, eroded beyond recognition, filled with sprawling criminal networks and illegal landing strips for their planes . another hurdle will be to cancel the powerful agribusiness lobby for the presidency. she doesn't necessarily have congress on the side peaceful issues, both in fame. what if i read an activities in the amazon are much more strong or lead to getting the low cost of living and the state the labor is done the way of

doing the pre of seen in the past, but they're capable of getting last weekend and the industry will continue having this political influence as long as it prophets of the rock at high demand for brazilian agriculture. their words are teaching amazon. i'm as big as a sigh of been as a people pleaser, stopping by the help in these challenges are real and they're a significant. but louis administration also faces a set of opportunities the opportunity to improve land productivity and far more efficiently to blue screen economies. that use the regents resources without depleting them or cutting down trees that includes commercializing were products native to the forest and eco tourism. brazil can also share its knowledge and successes with other forest giants like indonesia or the democratic republic of congo. so i hope we go back to the world seen and not only as a green fowler, but as a generous one that will bring others along. this step is crucial because we may

not be able to put a price tag on saving or rain for us. but we will pay the price if we don't. the global sea level is rising inexorably in the 20th century. it rows by a total of around 15 centimeters. since then the rates has almost tripling due to melting powder i sheets, the expansion to form a single. so many coastal dwellers, the question is becoming ever more urgent. what to do when the tech comes into the home for us is where we have been buying. we have going up as no place like this for us as i mean if it, we're not ready to move longer. if i have that as being

a 1st thing for me and i started onto that for you so much i and that was a lifetime. the river is in a very dangerous place right now. i mean, it's on the point where people are moving away because of this erosion you're leaving out there with the 30 so that they homeless. so my name is mary and myself. i'm a resident of the community. if montgomery over we started seeing issues with the rollers on, on the course thing. what hurts me the most about this whole situation. even after we lost sight of, uh, you know,

pieces of property is we lost the football field for the last 4 my grandma and my grandfather know watch the see. you know, in advance that does not really hurt. we have been doing our best to try and keep what we have. i don't want to see anymore games. good. can you see as a lot of my, if i'm in is still there. my sister, aunts and uncles, cousins, good friends. since they're currently sitting by the see the my mom is, well, she's the reason i decided to become a teacher the well everybody around here, nowhere related from your members. so it's, it's really personal. so that is why i decided to get on the water shit. and see

what i can do as it was saying, a nozzle community. what we started seeing was changes on a river and we didn't seem to kind of assign that used to come out before to replenish what is last, natalie the we have no beats know what it was. it was really nice having a beats. yeah, you can walk around and enjoy the view of the sunrise thing the my god is the site and see what they can do

to improve the bit of money. and then what we have because is easy at the money is what you have sent, the restore like you lost. so i had to get involved with the washing association in 2017. we were able to do a mentor for as broad a pilot closed immunization course, 9 the, the one to should be the g o 2 project for the calls from youtube in front of the village. um basically that was uh like uh, stabilisation metals to face with some of the villagers were at risk of losing their home. the g of small grants program provides financial and technical resources to civil society organizations to

implement community driven action for little bugs in the i was able to nurture birger relationships with the residents of mother, including understanding their life, their concerns with their religion. the loss of homes, the loss of their lives as a loss of fight adversity. the degradation of watership in general is an alarming rates being degraded for me that is extremely concerning. what i see with the early times i would hope that they can stabilize it. you know, put something on no rock sun to stabilize the they, the beach front is stabilized. then they, they can do other projects to help them. of the waves on the sun

was coming inside the downstairs and run through all the way to the box. so what happened, the guys took some rocks that government gave us on board there is on smaller ones and they put them justin, we bought on boat and throw them in front to help some build back a little bit at a sun. so we know that the molars would work. the bunker village is one of those quotes documented this that we'd be close to fishing community located in the eastern part of the lease. a small pre owned amenities living in harmony with nature. oak river is not responsible for the clement crisis, yet the are the ones that are suffering to create this loss damage. what we need is climate just. i want to get back on them on the policy is a, this is

a beautiful place. the next saturday, so he's here for us these not that means on this without them we can't exist if we can address what we're seeing. monthly about can be here for another 100 years. the as a dry, a have a room. kevin, more fires often. it's the very poorest to suffer the most light residents of informal settlements. the township of must have put him in a new cape town, has 30000 residents spread across nearly 40 hectic those who quarterly, with sourcing through the wreckage of her home. 2 weeks ago assigned to destroyed 178 checks. yes. homes made of corrugated metal on

a wooden frame. so. so i ran out with the thing. the only thing i have left in my pajamas was my neighbor died in the fine one of his friends filling the inside of fi is like these are happening more frequently. as the population grows, people are living closer together. and heat waves are also more common because of climate change. thousands of homes also have been down recently in cape towns biggest township, kindly to and not for the 1st time. architects gloria perdita and had team from the n t o e. k. allow me a, rebuilding the houses in the new ones are affordable and more durable. something we're here to implement. i'll think of doing instruction, which i retired safe and slow slide. we buy a buyer. this one says i have the latest file without a trace. the seed metal they using

a 2nd so fi account spread as easily from home to home. it cut allow me is funded through donations. it's already billed 3500 of these new models. in the closer language economy means my home. the energy wants to help people live in safety and dignity such as mays, old corrugated iron hunt was replaced a year ago to select the c housing. yeah, everything is okay. and as you go to the place on our phone hooked up. oh i called way that is yeah for one room please. one check who and you know that thing much one more like come down with the re come oh and i have

a head diction order. right? gone through that project time but now enough in a beautiful place, i guess i tell them good things to go. cedric, my works as a catty on a golf course. his employer agreed to help finance the construction cost of around $1000.00 bureaus together with a car allow me this kind of co financing is the basis of economies funding model. we pre finance as much as we can of the boat and the employer employees meet his health way. and sometimes employees also thought taking that thing that has the employer can pay upfront and then the employees pay back the employer. so the rates that's suitable to their relationship and their financial reality. the golf course pays back the interest free loan within a year economies housing initiative as part of the project bias, collaboration. it helps employee as provides a work is with the best a home for the equivalent of about 70 years and months. these huge demand in formal

settlements will dominate african cities in the near future. they're already home to one in 5 k town residents. jo, bowl nick, is an oven development advisor. he says fine resistance homes can quickly improve living conditions and townships in times of climate change. some of the hot to the winds of are significantly more for the rushes or is kitchen always has had heavy readings for nowadays, then most sustained and more predictable. and often let's move on to the top. and even the in migration of people are moving from the room and the thing to the cities is pushed by the facts that sustainability. and so the ability in the room is, is being profoundly impacted by the changes in time economy isn't only making homes fire resistant together with the oven sink time from e t h. c. eric,

the n t o has replaced an entire and foremost settlement with 2 story homes. the empowers suck pilot project has already built more than 70 units. the last ones will be handed over to the new owners today. okay, towns deputy man has arrived. the city council wants to officially on the new homes and the other nice it's it's, it's really important what makes the makes the heavy duty does to us. it's kind of 2, we have a population. so i think it's just about 4800000 people. the data suggests abuse of possible compose to 6000000 people. at the end of this decade, we need to plan different types of products every need to secure partnerships, to respond to those. and i mean, it's a good place to store in any minute and see this street provides access for fire

trucks and ambulances, where it congregated on huts once stood, crammed together. they are now children playing the project also plans to provide. so the power for the neighborhood, looking at 3 megawatts of solar energy production in the kazi, part alone. uh, and see the potential for i think it's about 2 gigawatts of renewable energy production in kylie cha. initiatives like empower shack and economic us due to sketch. and so the africa where the desperately needed people like those who color leeway, con flight for yes, for a safe place to live. nice. the next thing get. i'm devastated in color one. that was my 1st fire and i haven't been sleeping wilson. my neighbors say there's a big fire every summer. it's become normal here. was it got times in the last 3 years, fires in k townsend foremost settlements have nearly doubled to $5000.00

a year. in the super manila they worried that if some is keep getting hotter, this is just the beginning. the of the

preserving people are slowing. climate change with small scientists are studying the wetlands of our planet because they are gigantic c o 2 reservoir. but how to make the most of that researchers are encouraging officials to cut down trees and grow unusable cross. in
