in your everyday lives, i honestly try to believe you're going to working 32 hours a week to be better for the environment than 40. but of course we shouldn't be not the be the living scientists just had subscribe. whatever you listen to, what cost the supply chains are crucial for the global economy. and here it's growing. dependency on them. good in times of crisis presented with a critical problem by mother books. if you saw how dependent we on india in china and you know, and where the goods actually come from is not always clear totally into us. they make sure that every single tree. so there's actually been sustainably managed to rochester, but some companies are already developing new sustainable production practices and supply chains with greater transparency.

katelyn coating is a business woman and a conservationist or company better would imports tropical temper to germany in order to ensure that the resulting decking boards and garden furniture are genuinely fair. trade. she makes regular visits to the places where the wood is sourced. the validation in moment, always wanted to do something that we could be committed to the worst thing. ok. just something that makes sense and is worth working for. so i and the idea is to protect the region is on touch screen for us with enormous bio diversity. one single hector is home to hundreds of tree species, as well as countless different plants and animals. the of the i know side on the one hand you have this wealth of biodiversity viewed. you guys have teeth tooth to the floor in san and live in the rain forest sown on florida

state. these places are important for water cycles and surface carbon sinks onto suppliers by china on the then and on the other hand, you have the people who live by the rain forest and see it as an area that's easy to cut down and use this farm land and reflection, dave, which provides them with an income to a person or on the land. so that's also important to take into consideration for things. the alpha wonderful is one of crushed in the as they progress deeper into the jungle. cotton and the non to repeatedly come across signs of the legal deforestation. the only thing we're doing is to raise capital. are they going to edu? i see you got an idea and just cattle and nothing else which would change the course radically. i lost your last yes, absolutely. by the clearing, all of this land would normally mean hiring machinery for 3 or 4 days. what would

be and then lucky. yeah. but given the high cost, your thought it would be easier to just destroy your last. i've seen that seen the, you're going you to burn it down and spent a lot at the zillow way and hour later. well, you have this here. so the situation is a familiar one around the planet. christine and precious nature, illegally raised to the ground with ancient giants of the forest destroyed forever . between 19902020 the world last was staggering. 420000000 hector's of woodland. in area greater than the entire european union, a situation that the you intends to tackle with a new and pioneering law. companies have to ensure that rain forest products such as timber, tom, oil, and coffee have not contributed to deforestation or the destruction of nature. that means having to prove the precise origin of their goods, the

a cause and code to begin implementing those now. mandatory practices many years ago, she often checks or proving and suppliers operations in person and that they comply with very specific requirements. the entrance to this protected area is guarded round the clock after fees, and from here onwards, all you have is jungle via greene and a healthy ego system. is that somebody else cuz we don't allow hunting, for example, or anything being removed from the forest without prior approval, and that goes under control and therefore, keep stomach, the i'm, the aim is to minimize human intervention and collateral damage at the stadium has what kinds kinds of them kind of include things would supplier mode, architect, managers, the areas of woodland that can be used with specific requirements. that means only a tiny proportion of trees and this vast expanse are felt each year. it takes 6

hours for category to navigate her way through the rain forest to see the harvesting firsthand. all the trees here are digitally registered, enabling the forestry workers to know the exact location of a tree designated for filling a management plan covering the entire area of determines which trees can be cut down without disturbing the sensitive eco system . yes or no later the seal is still this number of 18. 488 is the trans registration code and go you are then what is inside of me? it's a black god be nested. it's a tag that serves as a kind of birth certificate for the tree supply chain. i was told you that this giant of the jungle has been cleared for removal. but rinaldo pacheko has his reservation as the name on the truck, sawdust vista,

we're worried that the tree might have a hole in it still says may or make this on these little dfcs. here are normally a sign of termites using them in the money that was bought on nothing by them. let them live. okay, no, no. let's 1st of all do a whole test to avoid selling a tree that isn't really usable for the same kind of funding. without that, if you've got a know already, sometimes it involves making a vertical cut to reduce the damage to the tree and to keep it strong enough to withstand the window meantime, put on there. so it would be in to get my father aside. jeff and is it hollow? yes. okay. it was just a now hollow tree is worth a little on the market on the boat will remain a valuable member of the jungle eco system. the team continued tracking down a suitable tree for cut defense wood products company

looking pretty good. here in australia, a medicine of vital importance to humanity is produced. it's mixed in these huge steel. that's like dealt with a bakery and little by little, the 150000000 leaders of liquid are turned into a white powder. penicillin, thousands of tons are produced here every year. the market town is going to has a history of penicillin production going back to 1946 should some crisis arise. it could be pivotal for europe's entire supply event by onyx chemist stephanie 8 not heads. active ingredient production at medicine, manufacturer, acendo, and is aware of how important her work is as long as, as soon it's rewarding to be producing vital life saving medicines for europe in the whole world of age. and it's an important job which gives me motivation to come

back here every day one. so yeah, i'm working together with my colleagues to supply europe with penicillin. oh, well, for me it's been since it was on the plan. turns out up to $200000.00 tons of fermentation process per year. half of all the packs of penicillin sold in europe now come directly or indirectly from clinton, either as medication or inactive ingredient. it's the last remaining penicillin factory in the whole of europe. the antibiotic is a generic drugs, which means it sold at considerably lower prices. then you have a cousin voice america generics or drugs where the basic patent has expired or to this. the prices are very low and penicillin is now cheaper than a path of shooting down who called me the resulting economic pressure for pharmaceutical companies is prompting many of them to stop producing generic drugs . at the turn of the millennium, around 2 thirds of their active ingredients were still produced in europe with the remaining 3rd coming from asia. today,

that ratio has been reversed with 2 thirds of manufacturing now being in countries such as china and india. pharmaceuticals production there costs a fraction of what it does in europe. i don't to them a situation that increases europe's outside dependency poses a potential threat to it. supplies in 2023. germany's federal institute for drugs and medical services, registered shortages affecting around 500 medicines, including for penicillin. one desk, boston one, a 3, the time to build capacities back up again. you know, so we're making very good progress bone on isn't off, i'm them, it will take a while, however, until we're able to reach the production levels currently required by the market as well. we were at around a $100000000.00 impacts, and now demand is a $240000000.00 on some more than 2 and a half times the amount during co vivian and oversight to cope with future

requirements. the company behind the facility has built an additional plan to, according to subsidized by the austrian government. the c o 100 stronger knows how important the facility is for antibiotics production. the vehicle and expense have been shown in getting the subsidies wasn't easy for me, but we got great support from the austrian government station from this politics. coleman, who was off starting cobit helped us to steal the debates in a particular direction to the city because you could see how much and how quickly we had become dependent on india. and kind of thing is phones on im, dental fee, not on tier and also with a cobit related supply issues. and this being the last production site and your other stuff. these are key factors and ultimately getting the go ahead on uh, i mean to this dog constituents i get to pick from quinta is already being called a last bastion for guaranteeing your supply event to buy onyx around 240000000

packs of medicine, leave the planet, every year you intend to sing? the plant has been making preparations to supply the whole of europe to unload you for provide so if i were to be supply stoppages in india or china, you may be able to supply patients and you are up to the ged button protected in level facility. and when it comes to you support for such production facilities, the company boss is cautiously optimistic. for this august the 2 years, we have a foot in the door with discussions moving in the right direction. we have a sound working relationship with the e, with our do use and the austrian government and politics. the example of clinton shows how europe can become more independent and the struggle against the supply bottlenecks. meeting greater security in times of disasters and other crises.

the over and through this protected area of rain, forest supplies the wood for the decking boards made by cousin and coatings company in germany. she makes sure that the tree removals fulfill also stain ability standards. this seems to be a suitable specimen. the selling the tree means there will be no further removals in this hector of jungle for 20 years, which will give the forest sufficient time to recover the not doing his best. yes, it is taking something from nature and you shouldn't down play that out. then. mind

looking at the bigger picture with everything else happening on the ground and with the climate he had to look, this kind of management is important and actually makes a lot of sense for protecting the rain for assignment with that chaplain and the thought of the space you understand the clean by system once several suitable trees have been removed, they're sent to a nearby sawmill, the living right next to the nature reserve or a number of indigenous communities who also profit from sustainable with sourcing. today kind of encouraging is meeting by lydia lopez, chief of the unit people. nice to meet you, valeria harlow. are part of the what exactly do you do here? we trade in would we have the certification for working with sustainable timber c f

. s a say yes, oh, okay. the units are among the suppliers for cut of and coatings partner, but actually a cooperative venture that not only has financial benefits, pick them up as young and how does motor increase support you were doing my acting on my that access. we have an agreement where they help us with our craft work and with social issues like health and education, do they? because to young lady a lopez shows her visitor around the tribal forest reserves protecting their backyard is of course a priority for the unit. for them treating the trees with care and respect is nothing new a, it's an ancient tradition the there's nothing coming up. allison, do you use selective sally? not in terms of collaborative thing, making sure before him that a trees features need the right condition because but uh, but i got a panic or 5 minutes. yeah. so fantasy, yes, each tree has to be of

a certain size and we leave the other one standing for future harvest. mm hm. by the sustainable management approach protects the primeval forest and the days home land while also guaranteeing them a decent and secure livelihood. then as nearly stripe gave, if there's a way of getting people in income, the working and protecting the rain forest and by foot, but in a sustainable way, then i'm off. now. i think some people are going to do that on a bad and mentioned that's of to what harvesting conservation and community support work go hand in hand here. the timber provided by the unit is likewise processed at the nearby solomon run by content and coatings timber supplier. the editor sonya guy is the operations manager at the sawmill and has been working with

timber for 15 years. now. the mill also belongs to marketing and delivers tropical timber for customers in germany and other countries. it's high ecological standards and social commitment make it a rarity and perhaps all the wood here is process sustainable. and i thought that i totally out there that we can track every step by step from standing treaty with the final destination model. it can, i know you get this the no, but get that, but i so when the would arrive and it's sort of a, you know, when and where it was cut down and my name was dispatched one, they'll say we know the entire supply chain. the law they gave us, so lucille mean garcia with bowers, i got a note that the name on some supply chains include everything that is required to manufacture a particular product. the planning stage is followed by raw materials extraction and processing. then the manufacturer of the finished product before delivery to customers monitoring the entire supply chain is complicated and

time consuming. has categorized coating isn't able to constantly fly to south america. she has to rely on verification by 3rd parties. if could find housing, phone i'm, we have an audit done by an independent non profit organization and he says the on as one of the 1st of the name on the does is that if they go into the forest to check that every tree failed has actually been manage sustainably that blacklist had a nascar dish move out to have to flood on the welfare. she can we check suppliers via various sources. it's nice. most of them independent island, one that helps us to ensure that the would really does come from sustainable sources from small. she does her best to monitor things herself. in many cases, industrial customers can't have their own eyes everywhere. and with ecological standards varying from country to country, not even engine goes like the f i. c, the forest stewardship council managed to ensure full transparency everywhere.

which is why the f c labels are not without their critics. at the same time, the world wide fund for nature, order of attitude and other environmental organizations recommend looking for the f . c. label when buying wood products, saying that it does provide an important indicator that's f, as i said, for us f. s. c is the best certification currently available, as well as me, it takes into account the highest ecological standards as well as social factors on all kinds of data aspect of the hopes, fish, fish from the sawmill on the edge of the rain forest. the next stop for kind of encourage things would, is one of the biggest ports in south america. after arriving in lima, it's loaded onto a ship headed for germany. from this point on, that would be extremely difficult to smuggle any legal timber along with the

shipment. the, the tuning institute of what research is an authority on the precise identification of timber from all over the planet. here's a new sample of a. com, a demo heights and get hard costs, receive inquiries from authorities, timber dealers, consumers and industry associations on a daily basis. task checking boards of us to get to hear these from before that's will be a but which tropical trees species is involved. perhaps also because more of them are being placed under protection with us. what's the standard we had in the flight against the legal temper trade? the you require suppliers to prove the provenance of each timber email heights. could this team provide that legally water tank proof? in many cases, the experts from the tune and institute need to literally just look through a magnifying glass to determine the species in question to deal with best take

a cut anyway. they also examined the wood structure under a microscope to ensure their assessments are legally admissible. the tuning institute has an enormous archive to draw upon to identify the exact type of treat. it comprises around $11300.00 botanic lea documented species from hard to heavy, to soft to light. it enables them to compare every sample that comes in your hearts on longest gene institutes for all of your institutes. would collection is one of the largest in the world, hates and includes around $35000.00 samples video and one of the kinds of one of so when we receive an unknown over type of would often. and we can compared with our samples and see whether it's one of the bit technically documented species in the collection understand the device. so just in here, you know, it's all of them home. while the species of a tree can be identified with a microscope and magnifying glass,

it's precise origin cannot. that's where forest geneticist, celine bill, and julie via comes in with a dna assessment. she takes a piece of wood and compares it with a genetic code or other types of treat specificity enough. these are dna fragments from a wood sample that apparently comes from the loretta region of northern peru and all that'll take you on on here hung via the high end us. here we have 3 different reference samples from peru on the vin via default. and if we look at the color of the peak here inc, this is the red one. and as also seen in the reference sample from the north of loretta ida hoover, the samples from the southern area all have a black peak and design, which means that the northern loretto declaration matches um to pick a hospital and on the headphone. so this sample of tropical timber does have the correct origin, but that's not always the case. it's cosigned for 2023. we have

a total of 13 percent. with an incorrect declaration, we have phone input on 5, either the wrong species, wrong origin, or both of us and then best plastic. now have a false declaration, of course, means a greater likelihood of it being a legal guardian from the amount of orders for which species testing has grown continuously since the research institute was found it yes, everything is supposed to be. and i talked about some last, and i want us to help curb illegal logging in and in the process maintain the biodiversity of the tropical rain forest offices. and at the same time, of course, and it helped to counteract the climate change in cmo at least slow it down lane. so minutes for a long song that detective work plays a key role in making tempers supply chains. both more secure and more transparent. the

several weeks after it was shipped out from for route to them, coating finally receives her delivery of what the company warehouse outside cologne is stocked solely with her. the 5 tropical timbers better wood is a family run enterprise. how many do we have to 5 more and then that's it. together with her brother and father, she prepares the delivery of plants that will be sent out today for a patio in poland. tropical tempers are extremely hard and robust, making them ideal for outdoor use. monday so like people always think that regional is good. i'm fun. there's a tropical what is simply a fantastic product. was awesome. in comparison, the native would speak these are by nature not as resistant. sent for not to else

when this big and so they have to be subjected to complicated. often energy intensive process is to increase that resistance hack unlocked bad. despite the link the supply routes. tropical timber can be an alternative to german varieties of what provided, sustainable, harvested caught up. encouraging is convinced that making tropical wood products will help to protect the reinforced strength of mind to talk to i want my daughter to get to know the rain forest. when she grows up to a mission investment and for more people to learn that tropical temper does not in itself destroy the rain forest on the, to the sun on just as how to sustainable management, in fact, protects the floors. so that's what got invited to ship one desk, and that's particularly important to me coming as i do from colombia. so for me, the rain for is just kind of a reminder of home. i am a cut of encouraging supply chain is already deforestation free showing just what

is possible when it comes to protecting people and the planet when the will and commitment. are there the

policy aspect olsa in all history and i know for yes i e shows this across and it's ph. welcome. this is my sister says kind of so died. so exciting the this is the capitalist on the team, 13 minutes on the double. you mean in here as a credit, pressing 9 year is on the i think every clear,

pressing news in some degree of fear, your privilege, con, changed the degree of fear. none. the less the shift of it in the interior we, i do a good, a team is changing the l g, b to q i plus narrative through not only would moves the feel like it is taking the stones, despite the risks involved, a free max. then 19 minutes on dw, the sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for but we've got something for you. cost about why does that? because now i'm lisa and the new host to

join us for an exciting inspiration of everything in between moses a video and audio production by d w. i hope that you will tune in about half of what did you do before i played tennis. she survived the ocean bits. thanks to music. she was the nazis favorite conductor positions under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power and inspiring story about survival. music in nazi germany watching out one youtube dw documentary, the
