a building nearby and you are up to date up next flats a takes a look at, in this efforts to stop the specification by planting and sustaining millions of trees that's coming up after the break. and we have more news on the top of the, the well then progress pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic that concern us about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w cuts cost ice cold b. c. at the end of the plastic, i need an expedition ventures on 2 places that no one has good explosion.

why is the ice melting more rapidly in the ice fields and pass the videos like these are popping up or the social media. they show colossal dust storms raging through delhi and the surrounding states. but this isn't a freak weather event. the storms are becoming seasonal. the task comes from the thought doesn't like the sahara and the going to be it's expanding and destroying vital living space. africa and china, i've responded with them. fishes prompting projects. great green goals of trees to try and stopped as a vacation in india. india is lucky. the north has a natural green bar at the arrival of mountain range, which is held back to thought as it for some trees. that is until now to make

a dust storms and hot winds blowing in from the desert, reckoning 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 rallies to help fight as a vacation. but as we're about to see, was of trees have shown mixed results in other parts of the world. and the roughly mountain range is facing some serious threats of its own. so what can india do better? and will it be able to slow the advancing? does it the arrival east of the oldest mountain range in india? they took millions of years to form and separate. the sandy does attend the northwest from the 1st all plains by the east, which is home to at least 17000000 people in india is national capital region. are the 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 actions such as illegal mining deforestation and urban sprawl. eating with the mountain barrier until further charging does though to vacation in the wide region. the mining is happening to us such a big extent that he loved the units being raised to the ground. nina ali, a runs the, a roughly by child citizens movement, which campaigns to protect the robberies. there are millions and millions of people living in your without the and all of these. the desert is going to completely engulfed and tired or northwest and you know, but north india is construction, boom demands building materials and lots of them. india supreme court found mining in the a release 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 back to your climate, a desert difficult action done what the judge would introduce and go zones of why did i have were technically destroyed. and of course i forest color. very cool. go checked in as a well as an environmental analyst who's been working in the revenue region for decades. if you've got a project, 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. almost 6000 square kilometers of tree cover has been lost. that 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 arianna and daily 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 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 involved in the initiative. and it's not just the idea of planting trees because you know, it could go out and find 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 irrigation altering the trees proved a tough challenge. but important lessons while on to the 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 in communities are part of this right from the, from the get go and the participate and have a clear understanding of what is the benefit of these project will be to them. so this is going to be the incentives for them to really work towards the success of the project as well. ok, because great greenville is aiming to restore 100000000 hectares of degraded land by 2030 but saw fault. well, i'm the hosted the restoration target has been achieved. the un estimates that the project still needs about $33000000000.00 of investment completed. the question is though, would that be money? well spent great green walls 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 if 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. ready 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. since then, the government has spent billions on tree planting. and the plan is to plant an area or forest, colorado as big as bronson italy combined by 2050. so there's still a lot to do, but come, china is large scale, planting power, set it apart. china is, is quite different from these other cases. and the primary difference is just the way china is governed and the way the chinese government gets things done. so come,

india is government, get that great greenville done. the initiative was officially launched in march 2023. but since then, no planting has yet been done to 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, we wrote a decades old forest conservation rule to complete the dissolved important forest protection regulations. so this actually impacts the 40 percent goal for the, for us in indianapolis, which can technically now be open to. busy or any kind of commercial activity or of doing the stage or mining, or building those ruins or, or whatever with the damage to the arrival these ready, accelerating. mixed policy messaging has made it hard to assess the government's commitment to re greening on one hand the using the,

the laws that actually protecting the at albany is protecting all parties. and on the other hand, the introducing seems like uh that being more just saying that the, you know, they are doing it 2 of them back to verification. local communities have responded to this government in action by experimenting with their own replanting strategies . so we had to start from scratch from take note the, you know, to remove the encouragement start cleaning them a lot to cut through. crow is a former banker, a citizen that movement i'm go has now regenerated 10 a revenue for a sites around google grams. we decided that we're going to plant or be newkirk cheese because an export on high re, uh we reached out to exports to you about what it needs to take on. and that obviously flores good ground, also known as go down 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 landscapes

god with a legal mining sites. polluted waterways and dumping. i'm go golf bus project trunk boomed an old mining site into what is now the roughly biodiversity park. the team collected seeds from the rally forest to recreate hundreds of native plants and trees species. the planting projects also made use of indigenous war to capture techniques to support the plants. they were generated in old boot 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 will go out and be the sign 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 a great greenville 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 naturally one from minding from real estate development from 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 its great greenville promise in forcing legal protections in the arrival. these would be a good start. what do you think of india's great greenville plants let us know and the comments, and remember to like and subscribe if you want to see more videos, some kind of a the gone with the wind. no revered to this day.
