another example the global forest change database at the university of maryland uses a map to show the state of the world's forests since 2013 users have been able to call up info based on satellite images they can see the effects of forest fires illegal logging and reforestation over long periods the platform is also dedicated to protecting forests and their inhabitants it combines satellite technology with open data and crowdsourcing. data platforms make the problems more visible and with an app everyone can do their bit to help tackle them the c o 2 tracking every forest on focuses on individual consumption and it gives you the chance to create and manage your own forest. the oral eco app is similar enter your daily habits with a few clicks and the app will calculate your carbon footprint and show you how to shrink it it also invites you to be a climate hero by supporting carbon offset projects that help people and the planet . or the digital activists in berlin mobilizing people is an important factor in tackling the global problem the climate protection has made people. at. unclea

even though they have had problems more recently, they're brushfires compared to the global forest fire situation. i think that can happen. i give one example. the state of new york, you know, they were an absolute disaster in april. and due to their incredibly thorough and constant oversight of this and their measures, right now they have been flat in cases for the last 12 weeks. >> right. >> they have had a number of days that no one has died. that's remarkable. >> the difference between new york today and two months ago, i mean, it's dramatic. and it does show when you take the severe measures that you can get it under control. i want to ask about something hopeful. god knows we need some hope. i'm curious what you think of some scientists at yale and harvard and other places say that the u.s. might reach so-called herd immunity at a lower rate of the population. perhaps it could be at 50% and you wonder if you have pockets in new york, london, cases that they have seen big outbreaks and do you agree with that analysis? is that a sign of hope? >> i don't at all agree with that. i thi

russia allows off the words to ignore fires in about half of the country's forests but scientists warn that strategy could speed up global warming because the fires are also a danger to the permafrost under foot. there's much of. the destruction of plant life means that the permafrost is not protected from the sun's heat we need the permafrost to remain intact so we shouldn't cut down forests we should put out fires so they aren't constantly burning and we shouldn't inhabit much of the area covered by permafrost so that it doesn't decay. you know what. though. but for now many fires are simply ignored farmers from the region say clear days are few and far between. fires burn every year there's smoke everywhere there's smoke over there too. we can't lie around just because there's smoke we have to work on the fields cut the hay there's smoke everywhere you can't hide from it. people here have accepted forest fires as a fact of life but if they are ignored they threaten to change the landscape and ecosystem in russia's arctic beyond recognition. you're d.w. live from berlin i'm brian thomas in for gearhart elf where waitin
