Discovering ingredients from the amazon and can local delicacies save the rain forests. But first we had to china where many people are drowning in trash from around the globe. Plastic has become a seemingly unavoidable feature of our planet. In one thousand nine hundred fifty we produced around one point five Million Tonnes of it since then global plastic production has skyrocketed in two thousand and sixteen it totaled about three hundred certain five Million Tonnes. Around half of the plastic produced is disposable products like bottles plastic bags and cups where does it all end up. Much ends up in landfills or in the environment Plastic Waste is also sold shipped to countries like china in two thousand and sixteen china received one point six Million Tonnes of plastic rubbish from. The e. U. China is the worlds top importer of plastic trash to date places like we do depend on it for survival but since early two thousand and eighteen the country has banned many waste imports its these chinese children have little to look forward to each day they spend most of their waking hours between plumes of smoke and mountains of plastic their families are in their livelihood by sorting waste these scenes are from a chinese documentary. While ensuring young spent many years filming Small Chinese garbage dumps he was haunted by what he witnessed. I have a daughter of my own i couldnt bear to see her grow up in such a horrible environment some of these children have been surrounded by garbage since they were born i dont want kids living in rubbish every day. This is the dark side of chinas recycling business the family sorting the trash are exposed to Numerous Health hazards including toxic fumes and harmful substances some of the children here dont go to school. Whats not recycled often ends up elsewhere in the landscape polluting the groundwater. As a result the animals fall ill. Some of the mountains of garbage catch fire. The stench here is horrible its almost impossible to bear. But what else can we do. The air is no good the water is no good. The only thing thats good is the money. While shooting his film one sure young made another discovery most of the garbage. Packaging from the u. S. Japan germany france and i realized that i was looking at the garbage dump in the entire world. Until the beginning of the year more than half of the worlds waste was sold to china was also shot footage in the us where waste was the sixth largest export to china germany has also been exporting several hundred thousand tons of Plastic Waste annually to the far east china has no said it will no longer buy certain kinds of waste from abroad they sing based environmentalist marjon welcomes the important than. This is good for the environment. It is urgently needed. Of course it will also lead to a lack of Raw Materials such as paper and plastic to. Where i do it. Now all china itself is producing too much waste but environmental awareness is increasing modern recycling and incineration plants are being built in many locations that means other countries are now stuck with twenty four types of waste banned from import to china but what there was and there i would see how that countries such as germany britain the us all the European Union should all think about how to solve their waste problems. Instead of relying on the world market and simply export water which it treated. One joule young also sees change many of the recycling plant see visited have since been shut down the filmmaker says the conditions at this garbage sorting facility in beijing are satisfactory. His film has won several International Awards for one joule young the import ban is good news and will contribute to solving chinas environmental problems. We also hope that people in industrialised countries will see the facts and hear the truth or off film and that they give more attention to this issue. One joule young is no longer allowed to show his film on chinas strictly controlled internet but hes convinced his work has helped raise awareness in the country about the need for change. Now its time for global ideas this week we visit the rain forests of ecuador home to a wide variety of little known delicacies not reported ice in hanna traveled to the town of on she doesnt know that he met people determined to protect the local way of life and the rain forest with the help of its cullen every delights. So in ecuador People Living in the amazon often maintain household gardens called chakras within the rain forest. For people who are indigenous to this part of the amazon chuck cross off of their main source of food. Cecilia she and her family are among those who live from the bounty and biodiversity of the forest for they know which plants are good to eat and which can be used as medicine. Yes the new one is this fruit is good for treating snakebite. We break open the skin and squeeze out the juice onto the well and up as though we started. This wealth of knowledge is passed down from generation to generation. Through. Its us either its the plant that made the night why you say it is another medicinal plant in the field you know why you invariably give it to women who are about to give birth like that but it prevents hemorrhage and. I dont look good i dont go on sale now we now i sell the leads to restaurants. But if you can make tea with them but. If they were you sometimes i get an order and so do i use the leaves to quito. That he ordered them below. Because i dont go taina is one of the best restaurants in the capital. Recently the many has been beefed up with exotic ingredients from the chopras. Than ever so they are going down to get it under an interesting move given the guest a city dwellers and foreign visitors with little or no contact with indigenous communities. Head chef on the ice are all blessed creates exquisite dishes that embody a fusion of traditions western and Indigenous People as hubs yucca and the freshwater fish from chakra farm as in the forest. For high end restaurants in ecuador ingredients brought in from the rainforest have become something of a trend. I. Hope you have a point of view that its our duty to make these products more widely known to the ecuador maybe a small country but a chocolate or first range of species we use food from the amazon to coast began to use and the Galapagos Islands are full of as a way to preserve her quit or to the outside world but its one there are a lot of dollars for the meals are serious should one go cooks are less elaborate that many kitchen communities are very poor. The livelihoods of Indigenous People who live in the rain forest are in jeopardy as more and more trees a filed. For the most part chuck reza used for subsistence farming and now there are new opportunities to sell produce to outsiders. Ive been your pick on this couple of months there are hardly any jobs around here. Sometimes we get work on a hoss weekend rich people pay us just eight dollars a day to slave away from dawn till dusk or no but it was a very small amount thats why our women try to sell things at the market. Now if they want to. That market is held every sunday in the town nearby. But kitsch was stallholders dont always sell much i say without. A stephanie above the on whats with the canopy bridge n g o. If you see if it helps indigenous fama sell directly to restaurants in quito. I love those that theyve done so that is the chefs in the city use products from the amazon in a new and different way. The harvest is now more financially valuable and people here can earn a little money. Some things just dont sell locally even though theyre very healthy and tasty and have great potential. So getting whats up with the set. For moderates of idea was have proved to be a delicious surprise they come from the peach palm and have a nutty flavor when theyre roasted. Shes one of the founders of canopy bridge. The n. G. O. Has now established a supply chain to fifteen restaurants in quito. Before there was more we said last quarter so we can move people to speak to their hearts by encouraging them to consume products from the amazon orders that they should not only associate their region with deforestation but also with its cuisine its cultures and its colors our food offers a special way of relating to a place most people dont appreciate the immense value of the amazon even in ecuador many people dont know anything about it. Or different. So far about three hundred indigenous families in the amazon work with canopy bridge. Like the tin that wants to support traditional farming in the forest to help people that thrive so theyre not tempted to cut down more trees. Than that im in the last five. And chakras farming is in harmony with the plants and the animals so when people give up tending their gardens they start to fell trees and sell them. Or turn the forest into grazing land. The forest is rich in fruits and hobbes and tasty fat beetle larvae as well chantay kudos for kitsch where there are a delicacy full of fat and protein to be eaten roll grilled they live in trying to trees. Not on the menu at fine restaurants in quito at least not yet. Coral reefs are among the most species rich biotech on. Twenty nine reefs including australias Great Barrier reef and the whole reef in the seychelles around the World Heritage list but twenty one of them a damaged Climate Change is causing sea temperatures to rise and oceans are becoming rubbish dumps plastic oils sewage and agricultural pesticides are having a devastating effect on coastal waters in particular. Environmentalist so working to protect the corals of the seychelles after all the island nation depends on this marine life for its very survival. The seychelles is a tropical paradise the archipelago covers around four hundred fifty five square kilometers of lung more than one point three million square kilometers of sea. On our resource for everything whether its economy activities or for curries and fisheries we dont have anything without. The old growing up and understanding the relation that the safe. With the ocean with the with this in the how much we rely on the world. As a marine scientist shes concerned about the growing pressure on the ecosystem. Experts go on regular dives to assess the conditions. Fishing environmental pollution and tourism. Put strain on the seychelles unique underwater world the coral reefs are suffering the effects of Climate Change because theyre very sensitive to changes in water temperature. They provide a home for a whole host of marine life from sea snails to sharks so without them biodiversity suffers. Reefs near the coast are especially vulnerable and theyre the first ones to die. There has been a rise in ocean temperature and this has an impact on your corals. To coral bleaching and then you move the coral thing. By the late one nine hundred ninety s. Most coral reefs in the Shallow Waters have died. When core of. Why corals and once they dead they are usually taken over by. The resources that. The activities that you carry out on the coral reef. That. Groundbreaking conservation project is now underway. The government recently agreed to protect nearly a third of the countrys marine waters by twenty twenty as part of a new initiative called the seychelles Marine Special plan. As a first step the initiative is carrying out a survey of the underwater ecosystem. We carry out the activity with the intent of collecting that on color really and sure that the management of protest. Is effective. In partnership with the Nature Conservancy and geo the seychelles Conservation Authority is hoping to understand exactly whats happening to the reefs. Coral reefs often have trouble regenerating in Shallow Water because the waves and currents are constantly moving the skeletons of the dead coral around. And making it hard for new coveralls to settle this has repercussions for the entire ecosystem of the company. You can see the change is really how this very long period of time where the temperature is really high in the corals can all recall so this has a huge impact on your own quote lives we have started a coral reef restore ation project looking at other ways to try and restore coral reefs using the corals that are more resilient and growing corals and putting them back on the reef. Together with fisheries and Tourism Companies the country wants to find ways for everyone to use the sea sustainably even outside the protection areas. The Marine Spatial plan is the first of its kind in the indian ocean. Healthy. But i want everything that i do or should make a difference and if you have any i think its a really wonderful feeling knowing that whatever information. Its going to point you to the way we do conservation is going to have a positive. Virenque isolation. One of the projects runs until twenty twenty by which time the first long term protection plans should be in place the ecosystem in the seychelles is counting on it. In most countries women are an accepted part of the workforce but there are still big differences between nations such as when it comes to the proportion of women in the paint and labor force in the us fifty six percent of women and girls over the age of fifteen engage in paid work in the e. U. That figure is slightly lower fifty one percent. And but in the middle east and north africa an average of just twenty one percent of women have paid work. In jordan that figure is just fourteen percent. Change their. Drilling hammering and hauling and all in a huge job i should know some people would be surprised to see her doing this kind of handy work but she does it anyway even if it gets pretty grimy. Im used to it now i enjoy this work it doesnt bother me any more. I sure and her team of plumbers are working on the construction site for luxury flats in our mine. They have a range of responsibilities. That are fitting solar panels cleaning water canisters and sawing pipes at the same time challenging gender roles in the arab world. These Observant Muslim women are doing a typical mans job with great enthusiasm. And. Im very happy to repair toilets and washing machines and to a place broken taps his head in the i feel really good when ive done my work well it makes me proud of myself and my coworkers. And. But their male counterparts on the building side dont share their enthusiasm. Some of them see the women as a burden. Even if they dont say so explicitly. When we are among ourselves we can move around freely on the site but not when the women are here. That. Men and women can be uneasy when theyre working together women dont feel comfortable fixing a washing machine or installing a toilet next to a man. Willing to take on a supervising role or do design no cosmetic work. But can a woman really work well on the building site hauling bricks which. I should doesnt let that get to her shes too busy taking care of her mother sister and nephew in a small town south of oman theres not much work in the area the few available jobs are poorly paid. Shes had other work but plumbing is more lucrative she earns the equivalent of twenty euros for every job. She has a few regular customers already including this hairdresser. The shower here is broken by now its an easy repair for actions. That im going to figure still dont know about i thought it was a strange idea at first that it was somehow a mans job but then i thought ill just give it a go as a kind of hobby. The lot of that i thought it would be like any other training but it was really fun and it really is worth it its all over if you go to. The salon owner is grateful for isis climbing team but for a simple reason that has little to do with feminism. Let know about my clients all women who wear headscarves in public men are not allowed in here thats why i prefer to hire her for jobs and shes merriam dishes for more. Jordan is a beacon of stability in the region and in many ways its more modern than some of the to neighbors but gender equality is a long way off tradition and religion are still very important here. Only one in six jordanian women is employed outside the home. But times are changing in jordan and dislocations school is part of the transition. Women are learning to fit water taps and much more both in syria and practice. They can get a plumbing certificate in two months time. To graduate are much sought after in a country where water is scarce and many pipes leak. The german governments Development Agency is supporting the project. In the past you would find that only women working in like as in theirs as teachers but now you can find women working in each sector like the female plumbers no one would ever thought that jordan would have a female the most but now with this the rest number you have i think they are proving themselves and this is right. About one hundred seventy women now have the certificate. After completing the course many say they have a different sense of themselves they exude strength and confidence and soon dont have jobs. With this nothing in this world is just for men and when i decide to do Something Like this course then i just do it. But you have to fire the inor and i know its changed my life now i know that i can do things like opening up a top or repairing appliances at home more with my family my sisters my neighbors i have become a different person really. Is that any. After another hard days work and her coworkers head home. Every day they spend on the job chips away at cliches turns gender roles upside down and opens the arab world a little more to womens selfdetermination. And next weeks show features other impressive women and girls who are also taking control of their lives as we meet young rock musicians in indonesia against all the odds are determined to follow that train and in south africa we talk to a passionate environmentalist.
