To you from mumbai in india. Ahead of the show lets look at how a nonprofit in delhi instability heading green action among the citys residents. Or game can get you to be more involved meant to me. And how enjoyment Animal Welfare charity is attempting to change to enjoy mindsets in tribal tradition. First lets have a city which has become synonymous with toxic air pollution the Capital Cities green cover however is only increasing even if its only the open forest got to get it before this with a less dense canopy this means that he continues to be when the rich biodiversity of flora and fauna one Nonprofit Organization in the city is making sure its residents are well acquainted with the natural treasures that he holds. Delis colorful and the crocked around 19000000 people live here to stop the sticky 1000 more people come here every day you from all over the world delhi has the highest proportion of migrants of all indian cities but the sense of you see issues and connection to ones new n one seems to grow slowly. That is something the team behind the internet blog daily business knows only too well they gain hardly any supporters for the Environmental Campaign for the young. So they have to come of the solution according to greenspan they go and sing. Moonlight the city doesnt have a stake or you know and then its missing an urban stake or the bases and a loft a lot of discussions. Are going to project back to the urban Design Project and the object of this when you go to the project is through people who are living in delhi for 203040 years and big name wonders when you go to them experience showed them the many systems i was in that supported them and run them and transform them into. The biodiversity park is one of the biggest attractions of that hes going to approach it encompasses about 10000. 00 hectares. For young. Scientist supply why does the ball when he started his work here in the land along the banks was bad is it actually it is simply somebody asked me not to buy during election and its only in many fist or no Political Party has put the environment as a priority you have asked broader or your boss hospital you have asked Metro Government has given you everything but you have not it was never ever asked that you need. You need to read dolphin should be jumping you need to even admit there are 72 piece of doctors. You need even be a lot of baggage to bush you never asked so this spot is a please with it people leg open brings a lot of students and other people from the society they get to the question how to frame questions how to design a question because question becomes very important your life and in the scientific world also when you design an experiment you release many many questions and i did down. The delhi greens organization this found it going to be years ago it all started with a blog to this day going sing right whenever he comes across environmental problems. In the 1st blog post 1st published in march 2007 and then it will be published on interesting stories you know gather momentum its a trend i remember there was a common bond segment that had been spotted so there was a friend of ours who was spotted in there and seen the professor and he shared the photograph with us already and then immediately asked permission and posted in the blog saying look a common bond 7 spotted in any and then went on by and i was department of. Snake and this for information and for you know the fact that you know how the park was being really showed the photograph in us and we immediately took it the mission and then publish it on the blog saying look this is what its all about its not just you know and its also about and by that its not just people its all to having biodiversity and i. Love to become a campaign by page for an Environmental Action the reason. Observed some things on his way home one day that he did not like it on. One fine day we were walking back to university from the field and we found out all the trees in the university had been numbered and they were also numbered in any brutal manner so this marking old mark had been scraped off and a number had been written on all the trees each tree had a unique number of course so we went to various offices of interest to find out whats happening. And then somebody said we dont know who has done this. It is a given. So then. And then. In front of 1000. Instructors and. On. The blog about the inappropriate making of the trees and the plans to cut them down aroused peoples interest thats how the universitys management found out and halted the plans to cut down the trees. Daily greens and. Have now made a name for themselves as experts today they visit the garbage dump in about an drive away from the City Center Residents complained to the organization about the down it suspected that the dump is illegal and that the people who live in the neighborhood at risk of developing health problems. Trying to recycle. Action to. Get the some of. The good solution that if the problem but we were concerned about is that. Because the amount of dust that is there. To action why the vet and information channel about Environmental Issues delhi greens has agreed as throughout india. Already about 1200 people have taken part in. The delhi you comment on Climate Change and the campaign to promote segregation projects. As you know was called and used like the one oriental apartment in North West Delhis rohini district well. New war materials are created from recycled wrist. Always on the lookout for those initiatives which work for effectiveness management and once i finish it even if i was. A woman we heard that there was one company. And is now. And has needed. Oriental apartments. For. Delhi greens is a Nonprofit Organization financed by donations and the very news from its workshops. With the funding that and my member tried to make a little bit more livable every day. Now regularly ecosystems like the ones in the biodiversity park has a variety of plants and animals big for example the red crested the large duck breeds in Southern Europe and central asia and makes its way all the way to delhi for the winter but what makes the wetlands saw attractive this experience will help you answer that question. Is spread over a combined area of 12100000 square kilometers from the far north to the far south there is an eco system that is richer than even rain forests wetlands. They support at least 100000 species of animal. What makes wetlands the most productive among all the ecosystems on the planet. To appreciate why that is its important to 1st understand what makes a wetland. Firstly continuous saturation by surface or ground water for most of the year secondly characteristic vegetation with a question of plants thirdly a unique type of substrate known as heidrick soil. It is the sponge like ability of the wetland to withstand Different Levels of water that makes it. Productive than other ecosystems the physical properties of heidrick soil enable it to absorb a higher proportion of nutrients that makes wetlands home to many rare and endangered species of terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals that are found in no other ecosystem. There is also a natural flow through and filtration system of nutrients a characteristic unique to wetlands its these properties that help called grass in a salt marsh for instance to produce more plant material and store more energy per acre than any agricultural crop. Healthy wetlands are crucial to all wildlife and humans throughout the world many birds use wetlands as a pit stop in their Long Distance migration many animals there to reproduce what lands provide great volumes of food especially the species that form the base of the food where acting as natural water purifiers they absorb many pollutants in surface waters their ability to trap and retain water protects land against floods and the impact of storms of the 600000000 people are dependent on wetlands for fisheries and farming rice which is grown in wetland is the staple diet of nearly 3000000000 people what is worrying is that the world may have lost as much as 87 percent of its wetlands since the years 7903 times the rate at which natural forests have been lost not only a wetlands a vital source of biodiversity they are also a source of livelihood for one out of 7 people on earth that means protecting all regions worldwide where water meets land brings benefits for all for the environment and the economy. The water for dear life situation gave you the option to save or to take any of that environmentally conscious decision various lobbies are working against you to prevent that from happening well a fascinating can give you that experience keep cool as its called challenges to strike a balance between protecting the environment and. The interests. Of. This game is about Climate Change and the politics involved players build factories or eco friendly green 11. 00 roll of the dice can ruin a players economy it all depends on a cart and the Natural Disaster it represents. And. It was important for us to designs the games that you are doing is a socially best thing we wanted to reproduce the real world tension so when you have the oil industry card in the beginning you need to play for the oil industry to win while if you have so green growth card you need to produce green growth. When germanys climate politics are played out and where german scientists are continuing to develop the game keep cool to give players a peek into the world of climate policy. Clowes i was in the market as an expert on the economics of Climate Change and one of the brains behind. I was always a game into the asked so i could see swings to bring it in if you look real world Climate Change policy whats going on its like a game. And as in the real world this game pits different players against each other. And changes and serious issue but being afraid of it its not the solution creativity to solve the problems we have and the game is one way. That can games really help us to combat issues like Climate Change and industry lobby the n. C. On their studies the Science Behind toys and games. He doesnt need your dame all 0 the noise games are a medium that allows us to learn about new subjects. In the learning in part is in direct because the point is also to have fun. When we look at these games and play them theres an emotional involvement. So its possible that we take that experience with us into the real world. Humbled university is one of countless venues hosting berlins on your Science Institute open night and events where researches presented their work new technologies experiments and games. Theres also immobile the ocean of keep cool. Students here play with climate enthusiasm from all over the world in english or in 4 other languages. The mobile phone gives you control over how to develop your city. I think its a great simulation and it really shows you all the intricacies of different interest. Standing in the way of Climate Change this is just. So maybe there is very Different Things in reality planes also have to factor in rising temperatures just like in reality green factories are black the choice is there and our Climate Change is one of the big threats we have in the 21st century and be having huge urgency to deal with this problem and we have lost too much time already but i think we need to get the message that we need to do stuff individually that we need to change all behavior but its the same so if you also need to have political change going on we need to engage and cooperate globally in class and his team have funding to take their game to the next level they just hope it can inspire players globally to make a change in the real world.

The play was written by participants in a workshop on Sustainable Farming and the children contributed some ideas of their own. Then we have to protect the forest they say by growing plants that are good for the soil and then we cause less damage. Than you running. An hours drive away in the mountains the scene of a landslide one of many theres widespread deforestation here there arent enough trees left to stabilise the soil with their roots theyve been replaced by corn to grow corn you have to plow the fields but that loosens the soil which can then easily slip downhill. The nearest large town to just rami is cup of us 2 siddhartha gautama grew up nearby he later became known as the border the enlightened one he taught that people are responsible for themselves now you are allowed to ask for help. So what is your tin of innovation tell. You the american n. G. O. Rare organizes workshops for farmers and local politicians on Sustainable Farming methods.

And his wife laxmi are 2 such champions they now make an organic pesticide with cows urine leaves and herbes its a natural way of protecting their crops from a range of pests and diseases like. If. Theyre still growing corn but now they also grow spices like ginger which dont require plowing that reduces the risk of soil erosion. The seeds of planted on the surface and covered with a little hay being ginger the farmers hope to earn good money with their new crops one advantage is that these plants should be able to withstand the expected changes to the climate. We can see that the climate is changing the rain has become less reliable. But ginger yams and tamarack grow even when theres not much rain. In the big day has arrived for our young property is. But 1st more talks about what he learned at the workshop. Tells the audience how the new kinds of plants can help prevent landslides. At least half the village has come for the event including my about johnny. Carson garnish introduces the puppet play. The monkey complains about the destruction of the forest and the young girl in the cow explain how women can protect the soil with Sustainable Farming. A serious message. Conveyed. That i didnt know you could also use. And neighboring has more about it. Perhaps well try it. In the workshop participants sing a song they wrote themselves to inspire enthusiasm to pursue the changes that are so urgently needed to ensure that people can live here in safety. I hope you enjoy that story. Well be back with many more stories next week until that the box. The to. Touch. The rhythm of the markets. The momentum of the working world.
