the missed on d w. what secrets lie behind these discovered mileage benches and 360 degrees and explore fascinating. both heritage spelling d w world heritage 360. now the question is there's probably no place on earth that won't be affected. what's more, what we already know for sure is that we'll see desertification stretching from argentina to the american midwest. the world 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 as a mold as a terrorist and oceans with foss, deads, those without any marine life, we can still change things. but what would it cost?
7:31 pm
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 is 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 cause anything. it's
7:32 pm
a federal 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 a 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. and 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 it's if i don't know what kind of trade 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?
7:33 pm
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 economists 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 the gold has the same come by
7:34 pm
. uh and right, one more poem about 12. you let a team at the international monetary fund to the 1st to put a price tag on a blue well with the di. and if you spoke to a way she would say, hey ralph, to stop crying about me, leave me alone. go in peace ma'am. and by the way, you owe me money cuz i'm saving you, but i am a team valued a blue, well, a 2000000 dollar visa and its activities in the ocean, the capture carpet. well, soup at the surface and well, who contains exactly what fido clinton need to grab a bite of clinton and turn produce at least half the world's oxygen? noel's no fido plankton, no oxygen. why do way to repay the wells? and the other nature is using that price tied to know the benefit of conserving them. this is already happening in the form of carbon credits that individual their companies can buy to protect an area. here's how it often goes. let's say an island wants to profit from protecting it. see graphs? someone's like ralph shami goes there and calculates a value for the c grass. similarly to how i calculated
7:35 pm
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 grass supports putting a price tag on nature can also help under serve communities. it's estimated that indigenous communities manage nearly $1000000000.00 half pairs of land globally and 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 beeping and some of the most probably be stricken. and we should then remind decisive that we should be left alone believe that way, because that's also not fair. many to go on is how can i igor, of people indigenous to the philippines? she's working on ways to make carbon markets more equitable. many community sites
7:36 pm
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 of 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 theory benefits from funding for us. when we have always looked at the forest and some beeping equity stuff, how do you put the value, for instance, on the fact that this forest are the resting ground? so if i were, i'd say 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 are in valuing nature, basically rely on global carbon markets. this website takes scientific data from
7:37 pm
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 one mass to whole 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 that owners are incentivized to plan to not need a 5 species instead of indigenous species because it creates a new type of landscape that could back carbon faster. june robust research has major conservation from an indigenous perspective. critics that use terms like carbon colonialism to describe this new wave of capture enclosure meet you at a 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
7:38 pm
a small percentage reaching the actual communities. and so, one thing that's never going to go away is the discomfort and wrongness of putting a monetary value on something as majestic as 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 you 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 destroyed, finds a 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
7:39 pm
. 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 winner was a tree hugger from. this was terminated. our expedition gets off to a monday start the boat so being loaded with provisions for the next 5 days. the foot over during the flimsiest of foot while the locals are still more sure footed the we are in our run updates. we're a company in christoph shank hands of the frank put so a logical society to one of the most remote places in the world. the money the

a few populations were left in the most remote corners of the rain for us and had water such as here. the fact they survived here as an indicator that it's a completely intact habitat on here in these river base. and the presence of the giant otter shows that all is still well with the world of additional $1030.00 both species voss arrive to been 6. the money landscape is considered one of the most bio, don't those areas in the world. that's why the frank said to the logical society supports it. the rain forest is home to few lodge mammals. even the monkeys are small. the soils, in 2 months later, it isn't suitable for agriculture. how did the people who live here get by the beginning, the n v as agent is passing, that groups are incredibly adapted to the system as their highly specialized ego

is a hunter. he imitates the cry of a spite. the monkey monkey meat is a vital source of protein for the much he ganga. but because they're in a national park, the 2 men can on the hunt with a bow and arrow. now that the indigenous people here a 2nd 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 you can go hunting, then the more the population grows, the more animals are hunted and the more rain forest is cleared for agriculture,
7:45 pm
it's an environmental di. lemme this is new. 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 some even move here from outside when done it. but that exacerbates the problem of humans and 10 or more in the heart of one of the most important biodiversity 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
7:46 pm
a lucrative industry. but gold fines' the divine ring. the rain forest, 18 percent of the amazon rain forest has been played. ones 20 to 25 percent has lost its ecosystem will be in jeopardy. the rain for as will to cycle will no longer function. then it gets no fitness and nor must be for a station underway in the amazon continues, then we'll 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. unfortunately, there's probably no place on earth that won't be affected. that's not what we already know for sure is that we'll see desertification stretching from argentina to the american midwest. the frankfurt su, illogical 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 the ganga children in bulk of my new on the south eastern edge of the park, the children look cheerful and well fed. education will improve the prospect

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 town, get for coaches in the 1st 6 months of this year, 231 were killed in south africa and and it's not just rhinos, elephants, buffalo, hippos and ethan jerome, the russo hunted because of the huge demand for reinhold ivory, as well as other bodies thoughts 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. ryan is killed by breeches is costs open to find the object,
7:49 pm
but till it that's often the 1st clue to help catch the culprits. but this work requires lots of know how and experts are in short supply. great. simpson is taking on the coaches who have but during the local wildlife, since most of these crimes and never prosecuted. simpson has founded an academy that helps train ranges and all the 1st responders to wildlife crime scenes and 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 is way when an animal is poached or isn't not a legal activity. and if they have some of the forensic skills, then it means that now 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,
7:50 pm
off killed lion and rhino poached that his own students are trained in forensic techniques in order to preserve and collect vital evidence which can be used by the authorities 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 tech in while that's one major challenge when it comes to wildlife crimes is that they generally a cut in remote places which makes them very difficult to prove. south africa's boss 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
7:51 pm
a con through something like a footprint or a cell phone or a weapon or dna, even that is really popular in court ranges also. and 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 full 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 it's 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,
7:52 pm
and lower enforcement officials. collecting evidence is need a 1st step, another long legal process. in real world cases, ensuring what they've gathered can hold up in court is 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 self, the 10s of thousands of us dollars. the financial incentives huge. ryan is ellison's reptiles and even such implants, old pay the price, the consumer trends. the loss of life has profound impacts on the environment. the
