Today well take a closer look at our green cover in our cities and in the countryside the city of mumbai has lost 60 percent of its cream cover over the last 40 years most of the city has now been peeved and concretized by policy makers try to find the middle ground in the environment was his development to be to india a popular japanese stepney of growing forests is providing a stopgap solution lets see how feasible it is for a city like mumbai. The. Muni union. It is almost impossible to believe that this 4 acre land called the lungs of thought up world was once an industrial dumping ground. For. Its transforming. Took just 3 years. Yes. This used to be an extremely unhealthy unique toxic place there was always a stench from all the garbage dump here including plastic of rubber and bags of chemicals we could not be allowed to be here were going to as well as other. Yes the 25 feet tall man made politest is now home to over 30000. 00 trees of 38. 00 with idees and several species of birds reptiles and subsoil creatures the sea just 100 kilometers south of this young forest the metropolis of mumbai it is facing an Unprecedented Development its clean spaces are slowly but surely dying. Today mumbais clean cover is less than 13 percent an alarming statistic. I fear that you hate your whatever donation for every Healthy Human being youre required by treat by going healthy free fire oxygen for your side for food for everything in mumbai it reassures again of us we have 5 human beings and one sheet. Which is why a growing number of organizations are using an if on a station technique that has its roots in japan but could be a buffet fit for space trapped mumbai its called the me of akim high density plantations are created with different species of need of trees. We need top money to presocratic think you can increase greenery even by planting nonnative trees in mumbai between 50 and 60 percent of trees are not needed in a conventional Foundation One acre of land we can only have 2000 trees but it but with the miyagi mattered we can plant between 12 to 13000 trees the hunger will bite us a. Suburb in mumbai has become the unlikely home for the citys pulse me of aki forest a project by a local and by. Intell group dream that began in january 2019. No one kilometer green wall that acts as a dust barrier between a seaman where house and a residential neighborhood could be used to seize defend what i think we have planted 50 to varieties of trees such as gunjan but these but the indian 2 livable they just dont. And the ficus one will hold. In another part of the city wall in 2 years are creating a me about a cluster along the penny ferry off a public park in one of western indias most important business districts. The community was supported by foreigners creators an organization that has worked to create over 40 me aki forests in different parts of the country planting over 600000 trees with a 99 percent some i will agree. To polish up when they were out there but im going to get out of there were them and then going to go the way it was given but. You need to be very very conscious about what kind of environment that we are going to so show you the most important part where the road warrior so 1st to understand the soil. The 2nd step is scientifically surveying the areas biodiversity and selecting suitable need to be shes to be planted. All the saplings and Raw Materials and then brought to the plantation site and other as anyone else. And theyre going to this is it. For the next 2 years the saplings are regularly monitored and watered costing between 1. 5 dollars and 3. 00 poetry to me a marquee technique could be crucial in the quest to revive urban green spaces. And the impact can be seen in a matter of few years as demonstrated in thought up a. Man over 90 percent of mumbai has been paved and contradicted in the past 4 decades done in the city into an urban heat island a large built up area that traps heat and drives up temperatures even at night. Are going dense paderewski added using the meow marquis technique would be enormously useful in combating this but despite their many benefits these young fortis cannot be treated as a substitute for naturally growing old products. Now its very wrong for anybody to say that you cut the trees that have been there for hundreds of years in a particular area and then youre going to blunders me out of the forest its like you want to kill the grandfather in the house because in you which i believe we want to clear this its absolutely you dont want the forest are there to clear the system to you the planet in its own little but it is really not every place where to an existing forest. Oh. In germany forests of long been treasured by its people which is why when these bloodlines turned into brown graveyards during the horton dry summer the sense of dismay was spelt of a german long profit is extending a helping hand to reverse this ecological diversification so that base fathers are more resilient. This forest in the hearts region of northern germany is a spruce monoculture almost one 5th of the trees here are so damaged that theyll die. The reason several years of too little rain. The forest ranger hope to counteract the problem by mixing and deciduous trees with the evergreens. But the seedlings that used to grow here have now dried out. He isnt. In early 28 seen trees were planted on this area. Or the shrubs were planted at the edges over the oaks and now up to 90 percent of them have died in the dry summers want to quit then. Trying to save the forest through replanting may have come too late if the drought continues this will become a wasteland. But the ones in other parts of germany could still be saved awful conditions are better in the southern german Mountain Forest than they are and the hearts twice as much rain has fallen here volunteer tree planters have come to lend a hand theyre in high demand due to the drought this with this effect partners weve had for many years who are now suffering major losses and are asking if we can do more than the usual 2 or 3 weeks in one place would be almost 1st coleman the young weve also received near requests for next year from all across germany. People are urgently needed to klunk trees. Most for the forestry workers mixed woods are the future they formed an Organization Called bank fund paul yanked its a nonprofit that relies on donations. We dont see ourselves as merely a forestry business. We use our forestry work to come into contact with the woods. We also see ourselves as an important Educational Institution was the buildings i wish to. He wants people all over the world to get involved with planting trees the temperature rise of the earths atmosphere can only be halted if more trees are planted worldwide thats why u. N. Representatives let in 2011 allocate at the von challenge conference that they agreed to restore 150000000. 00 hectares of the worlds forests in the ball and challenge with sequester in addition the trees would take up 20 percent of the Carbon Dioxide that causes Climate Change. Its one way out of the climate dilemma but why has so little happen to tell now. And i think that while planning this is a strength that implementing it is a huge challenge skip the idea is there but there is still no plan that is ready to be carried out also i have a blog on there for you. Thats why his organization is focusing on reforestation in germany. In order to better protect this woodland from potential drought damage theyve rehydrated in upland more that had been trained. This isnt the reason goes up also this is a gigantic water reserve. Pete liable nitas can hold huge amounts of water its not too little and secondly its also a carbon sink but so are usually in times of Climate Change well because the lowers is not decayed organic biomass transmitted to your boss its turned into peat and p. Contains all the carbon that the plants have taken out while growing. And its all stored here beneath us and. This down dana has spent decades turning monocultures into mixed woodlands and local reforestation begins he hopes to share his specialist knowledge and experience. Now not just germany forests around the world are in danger whether their destiny was gone the food was really on dry forests a healthy forest requires the delicate balancing act of given tick but economic interests and population growth are right at the top to miss this up lets zoom in for the on the state of forests globally. The forest Botanical Garden in evas via the north of balin is part of the university for Sustainable Development it includes over 1200. 00 tree species. One 3rd of the earth is covered in forests professor to b. S. Claim wed like to see them contain the same tree diversity as there is here in the Botanical Garden. Several 1000000 hectares of forest were lost several 1000000 hectares per year still this loss is not the same everywhere we do have a slight increase in forest area for example in europe we do a slight need to see slight increases in forest area in north america on the other hand you see very strong decrease in forest area in africa for example in Southeast Asia basically in all tropical regions. Across the planet forest is being raised and replaced with arab oil farmland the timber is sold its a Dangerous Development that takes a heavy toll on the environment the role of forests cannot be over estimated basically forests safe. Well to store carbon dioxid they prevent or they to decrease Climate Change but 1st fulfill a lot of different other functions as well they are very important source for biodiversity they provide us with clean air with clean water and of course they are they are a very important income source for especially poor people the study by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Found nearly a 1000000 hectares of land worldwide could be reforested almost the size of china the new forests could capture 2 thirds of human made Carbon Emissions 1st of all the study gives us a very good overview of what potential can be achieved with a forestation still you have to keep in mind there are 2 main things that might make the whole thing more difficult 1st of all the sites are often not accessible when we think of russia these sites are not at all there are no roads there is no wrote that book etc secondly often the sites are not as amused as they might seem. The sites best suited for reforestation are in russia the us Canada Australia brazil and china even if not all the sites identified with every forested there would still be a significant improvement in climate conditions and of course we mustnt make the same mistakes again but most importantly the forced to be diverse what should be avoided this large monoculture with only one tree species by doing that the forests are much more resilient against forest fires against pests and of course against Climate Change forests not only still carbon wood is also an Important Energy source and has the added advantage of being a renewable resource. As Energy Source it can only be part of futures Renewable Energy mix it will not save us from Climate Change your thoughts it is true 1st would always should be used in a material way only lowest qualities of what we see here for example can be used for energy directly to forests made up of diverse species and also only changes in our especially in fish and storing carbon all the more reason to leave them standing. Lose. Trees in the dead of it to product like wood for example have been a staple for construction but thousands of years because it stalls but what is environmentally responsible drastically different from the manmade materials that require huge amounts of fossil fuels and cause harmful emissions nobody is leading the path to possibly go back to building with wood at ski the country has unwieldy worlds tallest wooden high rise standing at 85 meters. The wooden high rise on the shore of lake near the Norway Valley has 18 stories 85 and a half meters high the tallest wooden building ever to be built worldwide. The project was the 1st film and the personal dream for developer. Its a symbol of what is possible. To make in word complicated buildings and also the high rise buildings and how to reduce c o 2 and this is 60 percent lower c o 2 than in steel and concrete you think clearer. Thank you or so its healthier both for people but also for the nature. Life god love you can have an apartment on the 15th floor. He thoroughly enjoys being surrounded by would. Like this i feed the birds you can smell the bird all the good you see makes. Doing something with you so i think its more like this let me see concrete right so you feel that the building is living actually. It took years of pioneering work to make the wooden tower impermeable to wind and whether. It was designed by former like detector and moved a Company Specialized in temper construction. Project coordinator and ventured into new architectural territory. We have never done anything like this before so it was always about believing that it is possible a lot of hard work and long nights to try to figure out how can we do this the biggest problem. Lightness of the material so all the force of the external force as they will try to tilt the building or shift. The load bearing called ones had to be something deeper into the ground than usual fireproofing was never a major issue the thick wooden beams can withstand a blaze even longer than steel another factor behind the trend in building with timber. This 84 meter building under construction in vienna is also made out of order for joe france is building an entire development with eco friendly material and architects in london are planning a 300 meter tower meter folk. I think its a symbol of the green shift we have. Think about. Method of building. For the future. Tall buildings but every building. Wooden high rises remain the exception. Is a good example of what apartment buildings could look like. What is not only a sustainable Construction Material it also helps in making some create music hundreds of years ago the legendary italian instrument maker. For his now almost priceless masterpieces from the spruce forest. In northern italy even today its used to create some world class instruments but the theme. Is feeling the effects of Climate Change. Fabio always enjoys working with wood particularly if it has a nice texture. The wood is smooth and even thats just the right kind for making Musical Instruments. But a major windstorm last year knocked down almost all of the trees here in wagner. Was. Going to all but one local went out the next day i felt like a friend it died with the. Force from. The high winds blew down trees across entire mountainsides. Fabio has been coming to this area for 13 years to find just the right kind of wood for centuries the forest has provided wood for violence guitars and pianos the wood gives the instruments an excellent sound and resonance but now fabio is trying to save what he can. With this trunk as are good diameter and a good texture. But this crack here shows that the tree split when it was knocked over so i cant use it. But i meant it although being. The wood is processed at fabio small factory down in the valley this is where mountain spruce is converted into tone wood and resonance wood. Fabios customers include a number of Major Companies that produce Musical Instruments. This final a cut tone word will be used to make violins its been sorted by age and quality. More than 300 years ago Antonio Stradivari crafted his violins from wood similar to this. But right now fabio is trying to recover as much wood as he normally does in 4 years and its going to cost a lot of money to store it. So hes asked customers and private clients to pay 300. 00 euros in advance per tree trunk to cover storage costs. Thats why hes choosing only the best word right now. Only top quality wood will be processed fabio keeps a close watch on all of the tree trunks even in the sawmill. Here the trunks are precut along the grain this wood will be used to make sound boards for pianos. Sawmill owner frank old saber is sorry that so many trees were lost in the windstorm. It took those trees 11020 years to grow to maturity and then the storm ruined everything its sad and know it will take another 120 years for the forest to grow back. Customers who appreciate fabio skill and experience will support him during these tough times. And i know you know the rest of the air has an extremely important job hes the only one who can find this kind of high quality wood Violin Makers like me couldnt do it but were all part of the process of creating a Musical Instrument so we have to trust each other. Every step of that process must be spot on as fabios tone what is made into a violin. And theyre. Happy when the client is pleased with the instrument. A lot of the manufacturers and the musicians deserve a lot of credit to. But people seem to forget that its my word that makes the instrument. Fabio on ebay nice customers certainly havent forgotten and for the time being hell continue to salvage as much what is the can from the volga few on the site so that he can keep providing top quality material for world class Musical Instruments. Forrester why the insurance for a cleaner and greener future be helped keep our climate stable absorbing Carbon Dioxide and releasing oxygen and they regulate our water supply and improve its quality and you can only imagine what would happen if we dont protect that think about that and well be back next week with yet another informative episode until then good bye.
