so in a day, forest fires evaporating large amounts of moist tune in to get the onset and learn more about the air being visible over the fact flows through the sky. start september 20th on dw, the question is there's probably no place on earth that won't be affected. what's my, what we already know for sure is that we'll see desertification stretching from argentina to the american midwest. the wells is losing its force and false. a result of wildfires looking it's climate change under the trees go the animal species. we're seeing of a mode as a terrorist and oceans with foss, deads those without any marine life, we can still change things. but what would it cost the?

imagine a world where we saw nature for what it's worth. while we would recognize the life around us for more than just its beauty. because almost half of the world's economy, $44.00 trillion dollars depends on natural services like pollinating, capturing carbon and purifying water. these are all valuable to our economy, but they aren't valued in our economy. nature like this is being left out of the equation. it's easy to tell when the living thing is valuable. like with this tree, it's actually huge. it's old and gorgeous. and since the one of berlin's most beloved part, but it's hard to translate that into a price. how much do you think this tree should be worth? words, money. no idea. no price, it shouldn't have said anything. it's

a trade several case. several, definitely several. most people have no idea how valuable living trees and why should the nature usually doesn't have a price until it's dead. this is often a huge problem. let's say you're logging company wants to come in and cut down these trees for timber. we know super well how much these trees cost once they're caught. so we have 200 oak trees worth of timber on one side and basically huge question mark on the other. we don't know the cost of chopping down a forest or how much value we've lost. that's because there's so much of plaque forrester, unbelievably complex eco systems. one way to estimated trees value is to add up. what good it does for the environment is websites in the us does just that we need to put in the diameter of the trunk where it's located and what kind of tree it is . ready ready it's if i don't know what kind of tree it is, the value is calculated based on how much carbon dioxide the tree captures coming. ok, how much storm water runoff it stops or you condition? okay, it looks pretty excellent as well as how many pollutants like ozone and carbon monoxide,

you remove from the air. now we gotta measure, i feel super weird doing this. it's estimating so estimating this tree, this here is where the $109.00 over the next 20 years. it's worth $2207.00. doesn't seem like that much for such a beautiful tree. the values are really conservative, though, because they're based on things like carbon pricing, wastewater treatment, pricing, and improved human health outcomes. so $200.00 log trees would mean $454000.00 in ecosystem services lost over the next 20 years. a lot of the cheese value isn't it included in that calculation? so it isn't perfect, but it does put nature into the equation and it applies far beyond logging. green economist like ralph shami, think pricing natures absolutely necessary in the fight against the climate change . it's not enough to sing songs about the way it's in hold. someone like ralph shami goes there and calculates

a value from the sea grass. similarly to how i calculated a value for that tree based on that value, a government or company sets up a carbon scheme through which those looking to offset their emissions can pay to conserve the sea. grass and valuations are starting to include more aspects and just carbon in the future. we could also see credits based on how much bio diversity to see. breast supports putting a price type on nature can also help underserved communities. it's estimated that indigenous communities manage nearly $1000000000.00, has stairs, with land globally in nearly 80 percent of the worlds about diversity that living nature and intact about diversity are worth money that's ignored in the global economy. the people who conserve them are working for free. one way to change that is to payment for ecosystem services. we are living in some of the most probably these 3 can and we should then remind decisive that we should be left alone leave that way because that's also not fair. many to go on is kochenda igor, people in business to the philippines,

she's working on ways to make carbon markets more equitable, many community sites struggling and they need an update at the source of income instead of paying the carbon offset to a company or government payments are made to local communities preserving their local eco systems. so hold on this all sounds pretty good, but there's one huge thing we haven't talked about the idea. a putting a monetary value on a tree is just weird. do you think we should put a price tag on nature? no, no, no, absolutely not. it's habitable. have to, there's an ethical dilemma for communities to say that we will get money very benefits from funding for us. so when we have always the that the forest as a beeping equity step, how do you put the value? for instance, on the fact the police forest are the resting ground. so if i were upset stories that definitely wouldn't make it into a price tag. in fact, most of the price tag is based on the price of carbon. so all the benefits from

valuing nature basically rely on global carbon markets. this website takes scientific data from this tree and multiply that by the price of carbon to determine the value, the websites from the u. s, where the price of carbon is cheaper. if the website were from the u, this tree would actually be more expensive. this is what a massive hole in carbon pricing. it can be different everywhere and changes over time. carbon markets also make it easy for companies to continue business as usual . selling carbon can also reinforce inequalities in order to put a price on a protected area. remember that someone like ralph shami usually comes in to do the evaluation. this can be a problem. land owners are incentivized to plan to not need 5 species instead of indigenous species because it creates a new type of landscape that could back carbon faster. june robust researches nature conservation from an indigenous perspective. critics that use terms like carbon colonialism to describe this new wave of capture enclosure, reach it by capital indigenous in local communities can end up being told how to

manage their own land. and often benefits go to governments where the company's was just a small percentage reaching the actual communities themselves. one thing that's never going to go away is the discomfort and wrongness of putting a monetary value on. something is majestic, is this tree, or a blue whale? for now, many decision makers only speaking the language of money, not majestic nests, until that changes valuing nature could make it more visible to them. so should we put a price on nature in many places we already have, but just how it depends on the circumstance. when we know the value of living nature, it's easier to protect it. and if it's just steroid signs, are way easier to calculate. when it comes to carbon credits or paying people for taking care of eco systems, we need to carefully examine who's doing the evaluation and where the money ends up . because in the end, we're still relying on market mechanisms which are exactly what got us into this mess in the 1st place. the

. what do users on our social media platforms have to say? well, a lot of people feel closely connected to nature. and for us, even if there's not much primeval forest left in europe at the latest finland recently hosted the tree hugging world championships, participants got to show their love for trees with some public displays of affection. and the winter was a tree hugger from guest was germany. the, our expedition gets off to a monday start the votes being loaded with provisions for the next 5 days. the foot whole wearing the flimsiest of foot while the locals are still more sure. footed the we are in a rubber boots. we're a company in christoph shank. hands of the frank foot. so a logical society to one of the most remote places in the world. the money and

national park the german organization has been working to help protect the rain for us for decades. this year marks the 50th anniversary of the national park, a good time to see how it's fair in the river changes color. effectively sign, posting the way from the might to migrate the deals into the ground. a new trend which waters that the money of to find time is we reach about quarter where we agree to buy these joint river alters as a young man. biologist christoph shank, spent 3 years living here and researching these red endangered creatures once driven to near extinction by poaching he wouldn't unless the stock. yeah. they used to be hunted for there for around $1000.00 pounds, traded a year,

came from her room. then they were put under protection, but only a few populations were left in the most remote corners of the rain forest and sand headwaters, such as here. the fact they survived here as an indicator that it's a completely intact habitat on us here in these river based on the presence of the giant otter shows that all is still well with the world of additional 1030 birds b. she's a voss arrive to been 6. the money landscape is considered $1.00 of the most bio davos areas in the world. that's why the frank said, so the logical society supports it. the rain forest is home to few lodge mammals. even the monkeys are small. the soils in human slave is unsuitable for agriculture . how to the people who live here get by the beginning, the dn dns agent is testing that groups are incredibly adapted to the system as

their highly specialized diego and their hunter gatherers. so they fish and they also have a vast knowledge of where they can find fruits and roots and what's missing today. know what's out of all and what's not there. also semi nomadic type know model of today's gen the upstream. we meet the indigenous people of the match, the gang of tribe, literally to catch the fishes with the simplest of methods. she's $37.00 and the mother of 6. while her husband goes hunting, she catches fish. well, she's a family's clothes and cooks them meals. i remember that this month i wouldn't know how else to live up in the city. no one gives you money to buy food as a ok here, i can catch fish and cultivate yucca. this is all land that cut off will come over with locals, live in poverty and the ability to tie a cool man struggling. it's listed with plastic fall,

still holding onto many centuries old traditions. napoleon is fixing his palm factories. the people here haven't been semi new magic for a long time. in the 1950s, after the arrival of a mission reorganization, they became main. the southern trace and the population begun to grow. today, some 270 people live here. that's too many kristof shank and his team ahead to find out how bad doing the young people have no work. they complain. it's just one of the problems with germany provides financial support for ambulance transport, a garden for school, children and teaching materials. the peruvian state finance is one meal a day for the children menu from show signs of mt. nutrition. christopher st doesn't like the look the packet soup. everything today doesn't have enough calcium

in the front is a hunter. he imitates the cry of a spider monkey monkey meat is a vital source of protein for the much he ganga. but because they're in the national parks, the 2 men can only hunt with a bow and arrow of the now that the indigenous people here set in tree, there were hardly any monkeys left in the area around the village. they've all been hunted by the we have to inform the frankfurt to a logical society project when and where we kill anything. when we get home, we'll pass on that information. the conservation is keep a close volume the much he can goes hunting, then the more the population grows, the more animals are hunted and the more rain forest is cleared for agriculture.

it's an environmental di lemme of the, this is, nicole, is the household. it's a major challenge, the magnet effect, the move if living conditions improve, which is obviously a good idea and there's also an obligation to make this happen. then the location becomes more attractive on this bill and that means more people stay here and somebody haven't moved here from outside when done it. but that exacerbates the problem of your intent when the heart of one of the most important bio diversity areas in the world. and more people always means a reduction in bio diversity. soon to be able to facilitate the inevitable outcome is all to a parent just outside the national park. walker, colorado is a gold mining town. signs that we buy gold mine the streets,

gold. prospecting is a lucrative industry. the gold fines' the divine ring, the rain forest, 18 percent of the amazon rain forest has been cleared. ones 20 to 25 percent has lost its ecosystem will be in jeopardy. the rain for his will to cycle will no longer function. they may yet know fit, just a norm as deforestation underway in the amazon continues then will reach this tipping point of ice and of the amazon rain forest will disappear on a large scale. and there will be a global impact, and unfortunately, there's probably no place on earth that won't be affected. what's not, what we already know for sure is that we'll see desertification stretching from argentina to the american midwest. the frankfurt to a logical society, invest some 700000 euros and yet, but its own funds and gym and government funds in the my new national park that it is help subsidize, a boarding school for the much younger children in bulk on my new, on the south eastern edge of the park,

the children look cheerful and well fed. education will improve that prospect improved in the horizons, including raising their awareness of the environment see noble, medium a. so if we didn't get the help from frank foot or whatever have to eat would be combo hydrates. we wouldn't have workshops, the buildings wouldn't be appropriately maintained a little bit monday. the peruvian government doesn't give us a sense for them, for, i mean, you say don't know sort of but a month, any mean today tends to being pitched in the classroom. mosquito protection, and some people got to take a shower over spaghetti made by the expedition chef. the group discusses further ways to help the national park and the people who live in it's it's early in the morning on the last day. the res, stick with humidity,

which will turn into rain later. the frankfurt to a logical society would like to see funding for the my new national park secured for good. with the help of the german government, the world simply cannot afford to lose that unique ecosystem. the runny nose is still a popular target for pages in the 1st 6 months of this year, 231 were killed in south africa and and it's not just really knows that offense, buffalo hippos and ethan jerome the russo hunted because of the huge demand for reiner whole ivory as well as other bodies thoughts he used, for example, in jewelry and metric, tracking down the killers is challenging. this is an old to common site on south africa's reserves. a rhino who's killed by peaches is cause open to find the object,

but until that, that's often the 1st clue to help catch the culprits. but this work requires a lot of know how and experts are in short supply. great. simpson is taking on the coaches who a book during the local wildlife since most of these crimes and never prosecuted. simpson has found it and academy that helps train ranges and all the 1st responders to wildlife crime scenes in criminal forensics. we felt there was a great need and that training ranges and people that are 1st responders or even professionals that come across to nora's way when an animal is punched or is in and out of a legal activity. and if they have some of the forensic skills, then it means that them, that, that investigation is more likely to end up in a prosecution at court. at this facility, the wild life threatens academy stimulates different wildlife crime scenes based on

real world examples. including a snag, jerome, off killed lion and rhino poached to his own students. all trained in forensic techniques in order to preserve and collect vital evidence which can be used by the thirty's to move forward with court cases. and that's what we've tried to create in this academy multiple scenarios, really drum and what that meant to learn. and so when they go back into the real world and much better at texting while that's one major challenge when it comes to wildlife crimes is that they generally a cut in remote places which makes some very difficult to prove south african spa. scrathland offers plentiful, coveted zip coaches who ambush that prey. the issue is, while that comes from the on to any witnesses, there's no one else around. uh, maybe someone had a gunshot, but that's, that's what do you have. but if you actually can link someone to

a con through something like a footprint or a cell phone or a weapon or dna, even that is really popular in court ranges, all some the ones who 1st discovered the caucuses of poached animals. their initial response is critical to reduce the risk of evidence being contaminated or destroyed by window rain. those details can make or break a case of chances in court. so i think it should be 4 hands on the ground. feel changes as well because they often the ones who do come across the scenes before we do the, i do think of something valuable for oranges to attend. and to as the, as you can find some is all students at the academy also take pause in mock trials where they have to defend the evidence they collected. the participants in this

simulated court proceeding include former prosecutions judges, and lower enforcement officials. collecting evidence is only the 1st step and that alone legal process. busy in real world cases, ensuring what they've gathered can hold up in court. it's vital training which to, to 1st responders and those. and did you understand the role will definitely have an impact in fighting while of crime, in the sense that it will lend lead to credible evidence which the prosecution can use in proving the elements of the offense against the public practice. poaching is a $1000000000.00 business in asia, one key low of ryan of one sofa, tens of thousands of us dollars. the financial incentives huge. ryan is ellison's red reptiles and even some plants full pay the price, the consumer trends. the loss of life has profound impacts on the environment.

these large, mega format, like elephants and suppose they have a really important role to play in an eco system. as prompt spaces as large animals, they have an important role in shaping the environments and the habitats around them. they have a role in the disposal, nutrients, cycling, and by removing these animals. and it's can lead to by diversity loss and changes and transformations of whole landscapes. last year, south africa, last 448 rhino to poaching. but that will also over $100.00 associate arrests and a number of convictions including one that resulted in the punch is being sentenced to 60 years in prison. despite in the stringent penalties, wildlife crimes continue training and dealing with some will become increasingly important to ensure that the countries bio diversity is protected the
