wait to get the money. oh, lies, spots journalist almost cling there, but that's your wrap for the time being. coming up after the break on environmental program planning, a looks at in dallas and vicious plans to stop is explication. i'm finished by energy in berlin and see you soon. but the issue, how many platforms can you handle single tenuously without having the feeling that it's just too much you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these, the modern because if we do too much video all wrong,

we mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v w documentary, the videos like these are popping up all the social media. they show cuz it also does storms raging through daily, on the surrounding states. but this isn't a freak weather event. the storms becoming seasonal. the desk comes from the thought, doesn't like this a hara and the go be it's expanding and destroying vital living space, africa and china. i've responded with, i'm fishes, prompting projects, great green pools of trees to try and stopped as though to vacation in india. india is lucky, the north has a natural green bar at the revelling mountain range, which is held back to thought does it for centuries?

that is until now the meg dust storms and hot winds blowing in from the desert, a threatening the lives of millions in the national capital region. in 2019 india made a promising announcement. it would be planting its own quite greenville in the rapid lease to help fight doesn't have to vacation. but as we're about to see, was of trees have shown mixed results in other parts of 12. and the roughly mountain range is facing some serious threat to that side. so what can india do better? and will it be able to slow the advancing desolate the arrival use of the oldest mountain range in india? they took billions of us to form and separate the sandy deserts in the northwest from the 1st all plains by the east, which is home to at least 17000000 people in india's national capital region. a powerful dust storms have led to a spike and bronchitis, breeding difficulties and lung disease. they also destroy the soil and damage crops . but this is not just the fault of climate change. direct human action such as

illegal mining deforestation and urban sprawl. eating with the mountain barrier and tether, charging desire to vacation in the why to region. the mining is happening to us such a big extent on that he loved in units being raised to the ground. nina aaliyah runs the roughly, but child citizens movement, which campaigns to protect the rob lease. there are millions and millions of people living in york without the and all of these. the desert is going to completely engulf entire or northwest in, you know, but north india is construction boom, demands building materials and lots of them. india supreme court found mining in the rallies in 2002, 2009 on 2018. it's repeatedly ordered a stop to the and regulated urban sprawl taking place that to but the destruction

of this ancient mountain range continues at an alarming rate. it's going to impact your info tightens your climate. all of these are difficult action done. what are the judge really reduce and go zones of why did i have were technically destroyed? and of course i forest color. very cool though. chechen aga, well as an environmental analyst who's been working in the revenue region for decades. if you guys predict what you have, then you wouldn't be certainly able to predict what, what you're blocked in the future. 2018 government study estimates that at least 20 percent of the arrival of hills and brought just on double ready been lost to mining important ground water systems have been disrupted, and many rivers have disappeared altogether. the remedies h and for us to also in trouble. scientists calculated that since 1975 over 1000 square kilometers of trees have been cut down and replaced with housing and farm

land and taking into account illegal deforestation. my 6000 square kilometers of tree cover has been lost, and that's the equivalent of more than 380000 cricket pitches in 2019 after season of especially punishing dust storms. the government proposed solution in this ministry of environment forest and climate change would create a great green gold. 1400 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide to restore 1500000 hectares of degraded land and the rodney region and stop the expansion of the thought. does it in a press release, the ministry pledge that will would create green car doors across the country to come by land degradation. not the will would run through the states of goods, right? raw just on. how are you on a on delhi walked as building a great green will actually mean, the concept was made famous by the african union in 2007, as a way to collect to the re green the saw. how does it region and create livelihoods

for the people living that the original tree will project started off stretching from senegal in the west to booty in the east, pulsing through starting different countries. but of course, the progress across the continental is being sparsely distributed. you know, some countries have done much, much more than other countries, joseph flu. he is the c e o of the africa, great greenville project, which now has 22 countries and both in the initiative. and it's not just the idea of planting trees because you know, it could go out and plant trees. but what's really important is just an ability, how do you ensure that these things route to maturity? so we have to be creative about the type of trees that are planted, you know, and make sure that there's some sort of a gauge on watering. the trees proved a tough challenge. but important lessons while on to results suggest that the most successful re greening on the continent has actually been achieved like bomb is planting trees alongside the crops and countries like me. sharon malawi,

one of the things that i would advise any country embarking on on these the project to ensure that the people, the communities are part of based, right from the, from the get go and the participate and have a clear understanding of what is the benefit of the project will be to them. so this is going to be the incentive event really more towards the success of the project, as well as because great greenville is aiming to restore $100000000.00 hectares of degraded land by 2030 but saw fault. well, i'm to hosted the restoration target, has been achieved un estimates that the project still needs about $33000000000.00 of investment completed. the question is though, would that be money? well spent great gray malls around the world and particularly the ones in, in west africa, algeria. ready ready and china that have recently been reviewed in depth, do not have a good track record at all. george taylor is it, is that

a vacation ex but from the university of colorado who's worked extensively in asia and the saw how. but here's the verification, desiccation drying things like this are happening. they're happening primarily because of global climate change patterns. and the idea that you know, trees are going to stop a desert and advancing simply doesn't, doesn't hold water. trying to started prompting. it's great greenville known as the 3 north shelter belt project 44 years ago. ready since then, the government has spent billions on tree planting. ready the plan is to plant an area or forest, colorado as big as bronson italy combined by 2050. so it is still a lot to do, but come china's large scale prompting power set it apart. china is, is quite different from these other cases. and the primary difference is just the way china is governed kinda way the chinese government gets things done. so kind of

india is government, get the great greenville done. the initiative was officially launched in march 2023 . but since then, no prompting has yet been done. the ministry of environment forest and climate change says it's still preparing the state by state plan and identifying vulnerable hotspots. no one from the ministry agreed to be interviewed. and shortly off to the launch event, the indian government rewrote a decades old forest conservation rule to complete the dissolved important forest protection regulations. so this actually in that, so 40 percent will for the, for this in india, anomalies which can technically now be opened for. busy or any kind of commercial activity or again this is. busy your mind, a lot of meeting most ruins or, or whatever with the damage to the arrival of these ready, accelerating mix policy messaging has made it hard to assess the government's commitment to re greening on one hand. the guy using the was that actually

protecting the albany is protecting all 4 days. and on the other hand introducing seems like uh that being more just saying that the, you know, they are doing it to come back to verification. local communities have responded to this government in action by experimenting with their own replanting strategies. so we have to start from scratch from take note the you know, to remove the encroachments, start cleaning them up. not to cut. the crow is a former banker post citizen like movement. i'm go, go, has now regenerated 10, a robbery for a sites around google graham. we decided that we're going to plant or be newkirk cheese because an export on had a re, uh we reached out to exports to you about what it needs to take on. and that obviously far is good. graham also known as go go, is a satellite city of delhi that's located within the mountain range. but it's real

estate boom has left much of the surrounding arrival of landscape scott with the legal mining sites. police did waterways and dumping. i'm good guys, bus project, trunk boomed and old mining sites into what is now the roughly biodiversity park. the team collected seats from the rally for us to recreate hundreds of native prompt increase species. the prompting projects also made use of indigenous war to capture techniques to support the prompts. they were generated an old and that's an environment and ditch structure i used to channel to during the monsoon rains. and they also cleaned out. several jo had small towns that helped to recharge ground water. very, very clear that no water from our projects would go out and be the fine risk of taking water from the road or bid it would be good to get except for the into the fall into our projects. so kind of break green will help to restore india is a roughly mountains. well,

probably not the way things are going. the government doesn't actually take steps to protect that and actually one from minding from real estate development, strong commercial activities. then are these kind of teams on knoxville we uh, you know, they're just going to be cosmetic, with communities, taking the lead on localize, replanting the responsibilities now and the indian government to make good on it's great greenville promise enforcing legal protections in the arrival. these would be a good start. what do you think of india is great greenville plants let us know and the comments, and remember to like a subscribe. if you want to see more videos, some kind of a, the the, the outlook germany's economy is for in the mood
