7:03 am
[000:00:00;00] noon on shore, so once to plant very unique, new forest. he started 2 years ago and his find others who share his vision of the buds on the spindler opening. yeah, he wants to create new woodlands on many plots. notice tiny forest species rich wild and resilient. yeah, that's, that's not totally. so kind of outside the baby and also yes, that sound baby in the 1st forest we planted back in the philadelphia, you know, we did it through crowd funding back then and were relatively unsure. but then we raised enough money and then compensation. it was really exciting the, the for the new to the front desk of,
7:04 am
of getting this one to find. the 27 year old for the scientist and his friends, collected $14000.00 euros and planted their 1st miniature forest. $3000.00 grown covering plants, shrubs and trees, and each of species are planted close together and compete with each other for light, which makes them grow unusually fast. the tiny forest concept was developed in the 1980s by japanese book and this acute embryo watches small new forest ideal for urban areas, a stuff and looks at how nature works in nearby start us to gain a better understanding of what his tiny for us need as us here, i'm for foliage here, most of the bio mass that falls from the trees and we trying to compensate to now tony forrest's during the early years with store or shop top hardwood or the exit
7:05 am
law plates. but the last thing is, quality is on there. it's like firing of the system at the start and giving it what it would normally have up to several decade yes, in the head. and then we can leave it on its own after a short period, which means it doesn't have to do all the hard work of developing soil and human. because it's there from this done and on the, in which the soil with nutrients as a trial before planting and then left a different area untouched, to judge its success. a 3 d scanner records. first thing that's great. are the on the right track. the image you just give a clear answer. on the right hand side roon, according to the milwaukee method, the trees are especially healthy tons of infinity, that sound liveliest and sanction. it's really dense a task,
7:06 am
the sole vision stuff on shot. so it has big plans for his tiny forest. the this rain forest and brazil would now be a barren wasteland. the 2 people hadn't decided to dedicate their lives to saving nice of woodland. mary improved new and vehicle shasta or the descendants of german immigrants. they fought hard for the 50 hex here, forest reserve, the area of the special to the peer because it squarely met for the 1st time when she was 17. and he was 23. both their love for each other and their past and for saving brazil's coastal rain for us were born here was on fire flooding. that's off of you on sunday was the day we met on that was the day we always went for a while. not fairly sure, i'm the booth and we saw the good thing about these of us,
7:07 am
but also the not so good thing on. so something in my on investment and that always bothered me. this can't be right. something has to be done. go ahead and move. we talk about nature conservation of a lunch at dinner. always on this. we've managed to save a bit, but there's a long way to go. dense reading for us like the easiest to cover all of brazil's se the forest is known as the mount to atlantic. but many species are also popular with the timber industry. google shasta is looking for a specific treat. this is the 1st pre i ever planted in my life. i was 5 years old in 1964 and it's an arrow kataria. the brazilians called the auto katia, her majesty street trunk with exceptional wood line. these little arrow kataria of tons that growing from seeds from the tree. i found the young couple collected the
7:08 am
seats of the giant jungle trees in the seventies and greasy things on their terrace . to plant wild forest at the time they had no idea where their ideas would take them. but by 1987 after massy a project to save forest was born the it's never kind of nonprofit tree nursery with a staff of $25.00 morning. all good. yes, oh good. the 63 year old visits the nursery every day. the soil is a special blend of minerals, price, husks, pine bark, and fertilizers. up to 5000 seedlings are planted here every day. the seas are stored in a special refrigerated room. the gold shasta checks, the latest delivery you're most certainly managed to get good quality. i do, katia. see, i don't,
7:09 am
katya. these will yields around $20000.00 c. things that will be planted in the coming day for us was these 200 different types of trees are growing in the nursery, primarily to see patient species. people learn some german from his parents, but when it comes to trees, you draw their stick to portuguese. you god, and here we have the power brazil to treat that gives brazil its name as being heavily exploited since colonial lies ation, primarily the export to europe for the manufacturer of dies to kind of tax done. this is an extremely important tree that was practically extinct in all forest yours. and today we're working on reintroducing these bases as to why reforestation zones and the atlantic greenforest out almost the mess up link. the reforestation project relies on donations the work is financed by private individuals or
7:10 am
companies that care about the rain forests. a computer program has trying to areas where a new forest of implanted since 2020, to the progress can be seen online mostly is all the green areas show the farm land, where we've already works on reforestation in a country where a powerful agricultural lobby as fuel jungle deforestation, for many years of the mixed woodland directly behind the nursery was planted. 17 years ago. the gold shop. i wanted to find out what a small 16 tier for us could do for the environment and commission to study the result. reforestation is worthwhile. the tiny forest stores $180.00 tons of c o 2 every year about as much as $100.00 medium sized cars produce
7:11 am
while driving 100000 kilometers their nursery has no plant is $9000000.00 trees. the germany storms and drunk of the forest main enemies. the best of all the university for sustainable development is in the heart of a difficult area for forests. down trees, high risk of forest fire and damaged from past. researchers have their work cut out for them. to rather not get up and the missing information is collected and temporarily stored here on it's been sent by radio, temperature, humidity, global radiation, and wind speed as sent by computer to the office through the santana and hold off of the computer and go home. and last but not least, the forest damage is also documented by drugs,
7:12 am
all to better support the forest ecosystem. two's the researchers are trying something completely new. they've invited representatives of the cookie and indigenous people from columbia. that as well noon for this unique connection to nature, monica hernandez must see you and carson ma'am. you are hoping to discover new ideas, the cruelty are sharing their expertise during a european tour and passing through a bus baldor for us in the swift part of the woods. this is still important that we have a science to clarify what is happening here. the dynamic of frequency stance, but there is other parts of the work with this is not needed because they have an inside understanding of their own environment. they communicate, we saw the part of the insect, which is not precisely the mind which is the hot light. the visitors arrive in the
7:13 am
heart of the brendan book for us. 2 weeks later, the cookie, spiritual leaders, known as memos, spend the 1st 18 years of their lives in darkness. so we can hardly imagine such an i'll bring anything. it's supposedly have them almost become a tune to the natural world. it was done that. thank you. then i'm limited to just say only speak their language aqaba, tracking them. uh hey i put in an interpreter translates into spanish. sciences have come to listen to them because we speak of connections alien to our science. my energy fields, spiritual police is long for goal setting. ok on joining a higher tech to pass before organized the trip and translates into german is on the 5th wisdom teeth. they say there is a sacred place somewhere around here that's responsible for maintaining a balance else, a place that contains that kind of blueprint of the eco system that regulates this
7:14 am
area. and they suspect that changes have a caught that and that of ultimately we come to the own regenerative power, especially their next stop highlights. one of the biggest problems facing german forests, the park between the spruce forest biggest enemy patio is not as bad as it is. 8 and the way through hector is as far as it's across germany, me over to the 1st the crew here quiet. but then their intuition leads them off the planned route. although the group tries to go lest the cookie are drawn to the right to an ancient nice of a tree. the cookies message is clear. this is a mother tree, the head of this area and should never be felt on. i mean, as i've done that, i have that when angel go ahead, unlike this spruce people, i love the, the trees that don't belong here should at some point go home. and if we try to
7:15 am
protect a spruce here, to protect the trees under a tank from the bach beetle, but we won't succeed, and we'll even end up harming ourselves. i'm driving definitely the cookie spend 5 hours looking at the forest, problematic areas, tree damage, mono cultures, and dwindling water resources. their comments are inspiring according to difficulties. what's happened with these back be to infestation that we so the was so but for our, for it is there is a natural process of letting the trees that, that know belonging to the place not to stay there anymore. so for this way of looking, it's a natural process that is actually for cleaning for this it had working or was
7:16 am
it was or and then the cookies are touring. 33 sites and you are primarily in germany and switzerland. and people are listening at this university to taking a holistic view of the connections in the natural world is the only way to find the right solution. the . these 3 are working on an unusual project that the half of the clinic korean last as a journalist and convinced the directors to launch an innovative forest experiment . a tiny forest for people, birds, and insights on a small part of wasteland. next to a parking garage, they're taking a final that before the work begins on the estimates of this and not totally sure, this is why it makes sense to take another look at best. still some pebbles that need to be taken away too. so holes could be, i got to be out and i think i'm a little kind of, i just love you think taunting a tiny,
7:17 am
far as like this will be done in a day. but it isn't funny because we, it's got his way live top know was really amount of time. we've invested in it to him because i'm a good just one of those mean it's good. we didn't know. it's in advance. i was little ones this box, it will be worth the effort when the forest is finally that. and kids comply. and if you can, you think it is. it's one of the things that this was going to be a machine gun at a smith is seen him and we'd like as many people as possible to see what we're doing and plants their own tiny for us. so the towns and cities will have as many little, many forests as possible, and in half of somebody's put in hartford, but also in other places it looks it's linked up with each other so that at least the birds can use the different woodland. right. and look for a meter of dirt just being removed in half that as well as all associated degree truck spring and fresh top. so look at these bits of charcoal highly fertile, so it will need of charcoal on and compost. the top so was mixed with an especially 1st help halting soil cold tell sweetest to create a homeless,
7:18 am
rich soil that will help the new forest group. carina last receive more than 21000 euros in crowd funding. and a spent countless hours in video conference that's to these tiny, far as expert steps on shonda is contributing his expertise to the project. he's not preparing for the planting and half of together with his girlfriend, emily, but for studies for a straight the cool find it the non profit mia? 2 years ago to spread the word about i q. m. yeah, well he's tiny for his method in german they're getting more and more work on shots i know earns is living from the project assets 450 kilometers away. it's just one of many new tiny for us. i have 4. that's really good. you can really see the dock of the tear of print. so
7:19 am
with the charcoal low cost of the apple a is yes, that's definitely a good basis for the saplings as learners. and some work from means before the 1st trees can be placed in the ground. that's on shots, combines nice of bushes, shrubs and the seedlings into packages. emily a but measures the site and divide it up into sections for planting. 3.72 meters. ok. yes, then now the sections will be mocked with stakes and string. met and then on to find them ended. see when i hang sections with groups compliant, the train senses it's planting day at a whole host of people have been invited to participate along with their children. the next generation can learn how to inject some green into the asphalt and
7:20 am
concrete landscape. the tiny forest offers many benefits to urban areas in the through of climate change it to move sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and dust particles from this pierre, biological diversity. if a tiny forest is 18 times greater than a natural mixed woodland shade, can provide a surface temperature up to 30 degrees in low earth and uncovered soil. and it lowers the air temperature, rented by as much as 3 degrees with inside be. so what about watering in the future in the house. vega, tiny, far as it should generally be watered for 2 to 3 years, 5 years. but after that, no additional external inputs a needed a kind of inputs. now from the office all the time, effort, and 25000 to use 4 months later, the hard work alongside the parking garage is already bearing fruit. passwords has its 1st tiny forest.
7:21 am
the in brazil, a team from the prim ivy tree nursery is on its way to a new project. medium proof new and bugle shots are, are visiting a farmer with dwindling water resources. a tiny forest might be able to prevent the land from running completely dry. $20.00 to $80.00 trees, species are usually planted at random. perfect hair, useful manth at them. they, there are many plants that grow more quickly to think of almost blunt, and they protect the ones that grow slowly. easy. okay. i was dressing my. there are those that quickly produce fruit, they ask you found the food, the most attractive animal way up the phone, which then spread the see that as they send me before i see this concept is really about protecting and restoring bio diversity. there's a has thought out of your diversity bucks, brazilian law calls for the protection of old river in stream beds with strips of
7:22 am
white forest to prevent them from drying out. but many farmers ignore the rules and also need encouragement to follow them. switching the proc no, doesn't need any convincing. we for a station makes complete sense to him. c, a c. uh, i think the if we see this in the medium and long term browser. because experience and practice has already shown the when we re forest it in areas where they would know trees, the want to retire don't was this the best sources of volume, but people look at it and see that it's possible to restore raise. i think it's fair to the girl. we're not the only ones with a lack of want to the phone to die with the defects everyone's don't with, with us, the bill bundled with the gold and the rooms battle for reserves and against deforestation is both practical and political. that's why there are regularly threatened by right wing populace and the farming industry. the sad story and everybody that's of his favorite treat,
7:23 am
the native auto county. big old shot that has been documenting it for years. it was the perfect word for construction and a major export to north america and europe, mainly for german immigrants here in southeastern present. that meant the regional logging on a massive scale. yeah, that's life. in fact, the whole, the wind to areas here have been long since 1937, 19651992005. the taxes are resolved and these are reserves. that's also a small resolve state, so that are not present. a few deforestation rates. it's a new high in recent years during the administration of former president, both on auto, primarily in the amazon in green forest. but they never stopped planting new trees. reforestation, where others are chopping down trees. a successful campaign, no supported by dr. catalina. they're trying to make good on past mistakes,
7:24 am
catalina, his ancestors were part of the logging, push or appearance of set out to protect nature and replant trees. for katalina, the reforestation program, kind of legacy usually the or that it's a vocation and calling to observe this damaged environment. and to recognize that we must restore the far to give back to the world what my family and our ancestors. i'm had a role in destroying my thoughts come in as well. that was 3. 6 6 the, this is stephane chauffeur's 1st project outside of germany, a tiny forest in poland. the country's 1st like nation go to canada. if you ton under husband nico,
7:25 am
who their little woodland will inspire others see initially hope to choose schools and urban planners as well as politicians. yeah, haven't yet. so basically these guys, and it's give, feel that there's not much woodland here for example, of attempt to do that and on the broken out associates and lots of agricultural land. but that also needs this kind of natural island in the fall, lynn system to offer protection from wind desiccation and soil erosion is and as well as being a good way to store water and water of assessed by volunteers. plans the last of the 4500 saplings. many for us are becoming more popular since death and shots are planted. the 1st we learned of its kind in nearby brandon book. as well as a wooden pole, and he and his team are planted 14 tiny forest projects and 9 locations in germany
7:26 am
. and i know the forest science has checks on the gross after a year. this is alice these, this aga, lex. now it's all grown this year. since the spring this inside, you can see there's a little bit of color difference here, and it's the same with many of the other trees. it's so nice to see by chance of in of the unbox quote, the growth rate is really high to. we've generally found that more than 90 percent of the trees have grown in mexico on the conditions and now right for the, for us to thrive over the coming years in the nation, me on. so we're going to convert bolan's 1st tiny for us as now even called the attention of politicians. and the concerns in the old gear can believe which is tremendous to local assembly for this region. the now cops is embedded in the what the interest in most is whether is it for us could also serve as green lawns for the nation cities. yeah, yeah. yeah, that's true. i mean,
7:27 am
you can do variations of the method, but basically it's meant to, to be a climate, the depths and method for a cities like fins due to climate think on change right now. it is. so i just our job to promote it to, you know, i'm on our citizens about in may or speech is something we're promoting and i think the 3, so we'll find a lot of followers will definitely, well, the fact that it's so popular is definitely exciting. they should be planned to forest and then some important politicians come along for that. it wasn't like that a few years ago. yeah, yes. i think it's pretty cool and it's fingers quit whether a forest is tiny or as in the case of brazil, gigantic. every tree current in the fight against climate change.
