of course we say there is never giving up every weekend on d w. the bullying will settle or nature can be sacrificed just so every american has a tesla or if you're a p and a bmw, this consumption overburden to the planet. there's also not enough lithium, so a rethink is needed or nature must be sacrifice for the global north energy transition. i know that this is okay to get to know who's paying the price and the global energy transition. lithium mining needs rethinking safe people in argentina . kind of america's what, let's say the climate, the kinds

of trees, a group of women are risking their lives to protect indians and they, to force the native village of my to attempt to move to, to do is nothing short of the heroine. she's known as lady tarzan, the woman who saves the forest the tim the nephew began cutting down more and more trees in her home and comes in easton, india. 20 years ago to do decided she had to do something with other women from her village. she found at the tarzan army they roam local forest and with bows and

arrows and knives. scott, if they had been there, come on, bob, i go into the forest twice a day to check on things. usually we come once in the morning around 9 am, thought about them then again in the afternoon around 4 pm, that it's important total that we have to protect the trees and hope that the timber mafia doesn't come and steal them from us. go ahead. my tele, when they got to come in there guys the no the to do the needs that everyone in the community, even it's younger members, share responsibility for conserving nature. that's why she's happy that her news van okay. has also recently joined fatah is on ami using the cookie. how no, we've been protecting the forest here since we were kids. i have no interest in going out to party. i loved the forest. if it didn't exist,

how would we survive here? to teach you how long will the other bid for the need and get the need assistance? let me ask you about the campaign to save the forest has left its mark on the tiles . and lady she says us has goss reminders of bruce with a tax at the hands of the attendant mafia. once she almost died little dod, head to head that or guy i've had this scar for about 10 years. the mafia trying to steal wood and load it at the station. when we intervene, they started meeting us and throwing stones at us in the market for a little hook up the up. my husband and i were bleeding so badly for them and they loved us on the track and we kind of got to be a tough for me. i just had to been had went to reply via the attendance fia can no longer operate as freely as in the past. it's impossible to complete the preventative theft of the me to do and i may have arrived here too late. these trees have only recently been filled with temperatures in the full seas. the lack

of shade from the missing trees is harshly noticeable. but give me some of the wants of the trees are cut down the soil and dries off and becomes unusable. still, e v, i be able to hear, we see that the sunshine has completely dried off the earth. you see, this is mr. profit cut up. we who are moving to to do is movement has grown and recent he is to works closely with the local nature conservation. also i see it's head top us coo, mariah is well aware that without the efforts of tarzan lady and her team, they would likely be no forest here at all. come here to not like age. thanks to jim into to these efforts that they can see for us again here in the region. when we own the data, you should have seen what it used to look like here in the back is the one that the like a very brief not being able to make people aware of conservation of how she was the

one who made it happen that will that will, the to do is consent not only with saving existing trees, but also with reforestation. so far she and her fellow campaign is have planted more than $15000.00 new trees. but ever longer dry seasons make it difficult for the young trees to survive. my little eastern india is feeling the consequences of climate change on a mass of scale. it can be how it got bi lingual. 20 years ago. we still have long periods of rain phone during the monsoon season. a tumble so, but now we're seeing the impact of deforestation in the eighty's for us and it hardly rains during the monsoon season. it is no longer cold in winter for the for the what's on the changes to the climate are very noticeable and come back us

within the time that they hold or he or the yeah, they celebrate a very special event in the forest at the rocky ceremony the women of the surrounding villages meet and tie the so called rocky around the trees. in that way they strengthened the bond between man and nature. it's an ancient tradition practiced here for centuries, hugs and kisses for the trees are part of the so many. 2 in the middle of high for that coupon that we tied the rocky around the tree because for us it is a kind of brother. with this act, we promised to protect it like a family member. this we also promise not to let anyone damage the tree weren't cut it down. i could, i could bump good when go for the talk. i making them looks like a living. at the conclusion of each rock he owes the traditional dogs. the women forms 3 rows symbolizing a protective world. for years they rarely celebrated the traditions,

but since jemina is commitment to far as preservation more and more women together each year in the future life and hearts eastern india will be possible only within the 1st year sofa . to do has been able to convince of a 500 villages and hold them. 10000 people lift the lid in some sunnier villages, founded their own group to protect the forest as much has happened since then. what have been, i might have, i'm a, we in our village have received very little age from the government. would love to meet that flat since we started working with jemina. things have changed that to look for the water supplies better know, good about. and we finally have a proper route as well. thanks to her. i knew you would just give out the door to me by a part of the house house side of the lady tells in a life of protecting nature. and where does she find the strength to fight on them?

if i'm looking to hire a table to give me, i'd be by see how to schedule it. okay. who or i am a tribal woman bold. how. how look up. nature is sacred to us was hit, pulled on plans are gone for us houses via i think god gives me the strength to protect the forest. i make it in the trees and the plants gives me the strength to go on the forehead of his a subsidy. the lady tells and wants to get the younger generation excited about hope work to the 43 year old knows that protecting nature in east in india is possible only if every generation gets involved the muscle in season leading the way to the bush. they're often to baby teams rescued from annual traffic cuz now they leave at the chimpanzee conservation center. essentially located in the motional back of up

a major in is central guinea. the country is home to more than 30000 wild west and chimpanzees, the largest population in the region. however, the numbers of these great apes with ho we humans here more than 98 percent for genetic blueprint, have to kind of dramatically in the last 20 years. then now critically endangered. the presley finally cause that aspect. so this is the main causes of chimpanzee extinction. at the destruction of the habits it due to human activity and pushing, it will see the brooklyn people cuban with know they've got for the load that to protect the solder speak to illinois. in gimme chimpanzees are often pushed for them meet or sold as pets. seems like michael hoping, seized by the employees, are brought to the center this century rehabilitate streams and then releases them into the wild. around 60 great apes,

a country leaving at the center which is funded by international organizations and private donors. as. c the to day gets off to a swinging step with the break hostile fruits and ginger tea to combat the cold, routine health and psychological jacob polos since they often arrive suffering from health problems and for months. then onyx cushion into the forest helps the young 2 companies adapt to do was not for the import. the forest is important for the coupon theater. we work with them through the foreigner to them so they can get used to be so as a tuesday habitat to that's out of here, they can find food and a play for us on the google mines this, but for merkel and his pulse to return to the forest they need lodge open spaces to hung out in yet human activities like a guitar to and logging destroying the national park, but also sufficient, healthy,

happy to mean just trying to change could be released since 2008, split something closer to us obviously the cheap ponzi conservation center contributes to species protection through rehabilitation and re introduction. i thought of it, but also by educating the local communities, feel you. uh, because it's the community that's destroying the environment and okay, so these people need to be educated and sensitized really and i get on a more adult fish all out of provider. that's very, very important for a project like this wednesday. so i set the example on, does that process or come st. lucie means you need this into have launch different projects to waste environmental awareness within the community is leaving in the park. among them is a weekly radio show, isn't forms listeners about the box flora and phone up, it's natural resources and how to protect them. you're do you need additional

program a to primary school inside the park also teaches future generations about the importance of conservation. and that's where it's to funds these fees, since it's taught in 2019 more than $700.00 students have taken part in this workshops to the point for the program that we're on these programs and schools to teach children while they are young. so they can grow up with the idea and also pass this information on to others to protect the environment. well, we've got the teams, habitat conservation, and education a crucial, but so is providing alternative sources of income that promote sustainable development locally along with the villages and to women's association, the center that has created lasting employment opportunities and launched a plastic recycling project which supports more than $300.00 women, a it's

a win win solution. these projects provide locals with a steady income. these environmental awareness and ease the pressure on the echo system. and could soon give la cole caesar and defend a cheap enough place to go 8 in the wild. the human beings have already drained and so destroyed 10 percent of the world's motions. but when it's tax the store 5 times more c o 2 than forests. so it's high time to refill the swamps. deep in the house of virginia, as much as with a manager of this nature is of course slowly he's trying to undo 2 centuries of destruction. back then, the swamp was supposed to be made usable for logging on foaming cypress and pine

trees with valuable building material. and with cut down, the tops of the woodlands were drained. the protected area is 500 square kilometers in size. and chris low is task is to bring back the water. lake drummond is central to this. it must maintain its water level. i always had a storm coming on. if we were to allow the lake to be drawn down, and then that means it's going to bring more water off the land into this bowl of the lake. and so by keeping the lake level up to a level that will hopefully keep the ground water level fund for around the perimeter and the lake. 250 years ago, slaves had to dig a huge network of steps, canals voice it from the surrounding. mostly pizza will slow down the area into the depressions. the peach dried out. and pete is the plan. that's best c o 2 reservoir,

but only if it's under voice. and chris says that the last 2 major fires here alone released over 6000000 tons of carbon dioxide equal to that submitted by more than 1000000 calls in a year. and so they're trying to raise the ocean level again. chris and his team regulate the water float using simple muscle structures and wooden boats. they want as little run from the marsh as possible. what we're trying to do is restore some of the hydrology, major wetland to wetland again increase habitat diversity by bringing back some of those historic forrest communities. so that as it goes in the future in the face of climate change. and if we do continue to have those natural events that occur, this system will be more resilient to great dismal, swamp,

and impenetrable. stick it in hospitable to humans. that's why it was an imposing refuge for people who did not want to be discovered. people disliked the horrors of slavery, ran into eric's trip. it's ancestors were among them to escape. he says that altogether 50000 escaped slaves had here hoping for freedom. and he invites visitors to take to us and his work tenaciously to uncover they use me. sometimes i used to walk to grandma's of where i knew my ancestors had walked in this case where the bones spill on a dismal smell. and i would have moments when i said, tell me where you are. i'm looking for you. it was, you was in the energy space where you felt like you were connected to something that was lost in your soul. the lakes was,

is also saved people's lives back then. the canals began to start in trade and escape routes. eric ship hits guest, karen wilson and daughter a. d t moved the one who created the heavens in the earth always provides this way of escape for his people. and so when i see the waterways, i think of deliverance and i just it, it's a message of hope for me. the motion stretches for hundreds of miles along the atlantic coast. it is always been difficult for farm is here to eat house and living from the swampy soil. draining it seemed the only option the carolina runs was doing things different from manage angie to the ones to combine ecology and economy, requesting the dr. pete and turning it into cache, the most c a to they bind here under water, the more money they get from big c o 2 produces like add lines to use that to

offset the c o 2 emissions. and she sees more opportunities to profit in there. and while there's no there's, these are the healthy microbes. um and basically this is what you put this under a microscope. and you'll see things that create cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and things like that. to east carolina university researches scientifically monitor the efforts. noticing measurements, what was the levels so conditions and making sure the goals is flowing property. we want to help ensure that private landowners have a financial incentive to restore moses to fight climate change. our cost is full of the mom and pops and the small amount of acreage is they can't afford with this land are put into the research and development. i'd like to be able to create

a pool where we can help incentive us doing the right thing. and make it exciting. back in the great dismal, swamped with things are moving in the right direction at their own pace. chris, larry has to turn back time to move forward from the natural. it's in the face of climate change. it's going to be a healthier system if it's a weather system and that it can serve as a wetland. it can serve as a buffer between all the one and a half 1000000 people that live around us. climate change is happening faster than ecosystems can evolve. so we're trying to adapt now for what the conditions are forecasted to be in the future. so that's even under extreme conditions. millions of tons of c o 2 are safely sequestered here in the motion, so the

top speeds considerable horse power and the smoking exhaust. not so much you don't get a mobility is taking over this. yeah, every fixed costs sold worldwide will run on electricity. and the trend is up. great. trump is a catch. let's see m b, these come from without search, which means we need a lot of this stuff. within a few years, demand will hit $240000.00 tons per year, cost billions the subsidy to support clement if floaters is normally very friendly and laid back, but mention lithium epic ro, serious, almost irate agents. and oh, so they're using fresh water and especially salt water because there's literally a minute video. i mean if they keep doing that, we can all pack up and leave because everything here would die. well then the

clement is on his way to a protest. he wants to show that people here in the north of arch and tina, or against mining lithium for industrialized countries. this region is home to many salt water lakes which contain lithium. but extracting this metal, known as white gold, consumes millions of leaders of fresh water and salt water. and that's raising fairs. ground water levels could sink. the mind has been a source of conflict for years. clemente, its destination is the village of all the far see tow people here live from what nature provides. so they never take more than what they need for generations. earnestina has made items from the world of her. yeah. most, as she's passed on her knowledge to her daughter maria, they sell their handicrafts to tourist, though few visit this area. but they're fine with that. what worries them is that

water is crying scarce? yo gills is we have no, was it here in the mountains? i'm a smoke really high up to find somebody like a stream once ran right by her door. now there's fairly, a trickle. rain is rare in this region. so if the ground water table were to sink any more, the whole pico system would be at risk. locals believe that the droughts caused by climate change and lithium mining are only making things worse. so the, the 38 or their quizzes, we're destroying the regions eco system with all of its life. okay. so people elsewhere think this is green energy. yeah, there. but it's not the 3 and then of course it, but i'm just drawing something to get something else in the green energy is also a business in. and here people have come from all over to learn about their rights

from environmental activists and lawyers. once they say that no one else will tell them, never mind, ask their approval. they feared, losing their livelihood well. international companies and the government rake and profits in the city of tons of lithium is explored into the, the income more to go to our community or argentina. that would be fair. but where are the proceeds or did they all go abroad is already such as far as i don't know, i'm in german. government subsidies have boosted the sale of electric cars. 1000000 e b 's have been registered in germany to date. and that number is suppose to rise to 15000000 by 2030, a car maker bmw, already sources, lithium from argentina. but all industrialized nations come at the middle of all the most of us all night or nature come to me. sacrifice. just so every american has a tesla, or if you're a p and a bmw, this consumption overburden to the planet. there's also not enough lithium rethink

is needed, or nature must be sacrificed for the global north energy transition at all. that is not to tackle the climate and energy crisis. germany is looking for partners and german investment would help argentina combat it's economic crisis. and so for me, providence, they fear a mass sale of raw materials. cool. no, i know i need to. i'm not sure if odds and tina throws open it's door to the mining industry. major players will come in the night, but there's no strategic plan. no awareness, that's really why rain, we're going to move the bus. so together they're setting an example. they plan to launch a balloon to get their message across. it says, we're protecting the water. everyone is pitching in. it doesn't matter whether they live in the village like maria, or come from far away. like clemente, the,

the in the whole world will see there are lots of us all working together. and the, the balloon will be powered by the wind and sun alone. for clement, if laurice, this is about more than environmental protection, it's about social justice. and so determination, there's a strong headwind and the delicate balloon can barely get on the corner. maybe it's symbolic. clemente says, but he's not giving up. we're gonna need to us the, it's a small step towards raising our visibility and showing everyone there's a life here and, and, and i, the people here want to fight climate change but not by explaining nature as long as the risks remain unknown. they're not prepared to hand over control of their

land and its resources. the
