Hello welcome to equal india the day we focus on the one little beauty of pockets some dog coming to you from mumbai the state of get in that week 6 of the Southwest Corner of independence india is the 1st to receive the onslaught of the more insulin shot was at the end of the week every year the visited a traditional view Even Community in central catalog which you all stuns a field hand the wooden bites we was in the debilitating floods of 2080 how they filmed this miserably into an object of hope will definitely surprise you. In even trying to be in the data you didnt know that it will be needed that. Was he then you will need a new move my lady. Well this miniature dollar has become a symbol of hope and resilience for the people of good luck who survived a devastating deluge that hit the state in 2018. Really its called j. Could be and each one is made by hand from hand little materials that were drenched beyond repair in the flood waters. When they looked the fabric of chlorinated and cleaned it still had stains and scars in it so and i could see that it was a true reflection of every miley those days because wherever you go you could see stains and in every heart theres a scar. In august 28th in care last saw catastrophic flooding that cost more than 400 people their lives and 5000000 people their homes and livelihoods. The weavers of the traditional handloom capital of gender among them suffered damages that were estimated to be around 115000000. 00 rupees are close to 2000000. 00 euros it left them bad allies to. Rely on the radio all the equipment was destroyed they were broken to the point that we felt there was no way we could salvage them i was the one who arrived 1st and i saw the dire condition i remember thinking i weaving days are over. We would have to start from scratch and that was unlikely our. Own military record that i love a. Gentlemans alarms traditional hand looms are made by around 500 artisans who for generations have been weaving textiles with a fine rare type of cotton yarn that is hardly found in india today. Room there are no i dont know as for the room like a dear old roger who sings to the rhythm of his 6 feet frame. Where the. Little. One. When the wife dangle money he weaves a traditional male outfit call it john the monkey. That is completely eco friendly and has earned a certificate from the government of india. Soon after the flood design. Got in touch with the weavers. Supported by a network of designer friends she dry cleaned some of the fabric and also managed to raise funds for the community through its. Border named for the society was that most of their confidence gave the reverse you know a sound light of hope that you know there are people out there people theyve never seen or heard of before who are interested in keeping to the muslim hand all my life. The problem they feast was that a large quantity of the fabric and been damaged beyond repair and had become what. Luxury meant and is one of 2 designers who came up with the project to make dollars from the fabric that could be saved. They encourage people to not only buy the dogs but also participate in making them. These are the different tapes of dollars that does actually made in 9 countries by at around 50000. 00 volunteers they expression the decoration everything is different the needs actually that makes it all the more not Beautiful People are very keen to be part of it because they feel that if they make one chick with a dog they also have one for. One brick in rebuilding. And the dolls even proved more profitable than the original fabric. If you buy a fresh set different animal youll get a 4200500. 00 but you can make it on 350. 00 from one side sadie and fraser to peace 25. 00 makes it 1000 from a society so the society that was supposed to be burnt was in rating 1000 from one piece. One of the 500 societies that contributed to the chico did all had lost fabric was over 2000000 rupees 27000 euros in the floods. But the sale of the dolls dragan almost 350000 rupees or 43000 euros for the weavers in just 4 months they now take pride in their new identity. By living with people who knew of our work as the weavers of gen the mongol im but now because of she could be more people are interested in finding out more about us and what we do know that in their lingo they live. I scared love prepares for Climate Change induced floods again next year perhaps the chick could be dogs represent a tiny testament to the states resilient spirit. Any more construction here of why schools could only prove to be a gamble Global Warming could drive a much more dramatic increase in sea levels than anticipated new research has found that we might be underestimating just how many people will be affected by the rise exists. The independent science and News OrganizationClimate Central estimates that the number of people who will be affected by flooding could soon be 3 times higher than previously believed the new study predicts that by 2050 as many as 340000000. 00 people could be affected by rising sea levels indonesias capital jakarta is sinking faster than any other city in the world at the alarming rate of over 15 centimeters per year in fact indonesia recently announced plans to relocate its capital to the forested island of borneo one reason is the threat of disappearing under the rising waters of the java sea. Apart from evacuating cities several countries have engineered Solutions Like flood barriers and sea walls but experts are increasingly saying that Nature Based Solutions are far more likely to help protect vulnerable coastal ecosystems. Groups on the gulf of mexico have begun replanting the vanishing mangrove forests there. In india divers are helping coral reefs regenerate and around the world people have joined campaigns against overfishing to maintain ocean ecosystems. Fees and other efforts could give coastlines a fighting chance against rising sea levels. And the die was habitats of the baltic sea between the land of the weaves between fresh water and saltwater provide the best possible Living Conditions for many animals and plants species however tourism agriculture and the fishing industry have damaged the habitats of the shallow inland sea not just that the sea eats away at the German Island of. The u. S. Bought this. He is now threatening to divide the island and. This coastline is being repaired in a way that simulates nature several tons of sand pumped out on to the beach the sun was taken from the sea floor further off the coast it will produce a 5 metre high starting june designed to protect this stretch of baltic sea coastline. 2 years ago how awful storms caused significant damage the sea rushed in washing away the sun jian that used to be here and more but scientists. Think that over the planning of the new strategy. Part of the island of loser dawn has always had coastal erosion because of the way the ocean current flows here and so to preserve the shape of the coast and the environment theres a general plan b. Down by the State Government that we need to protect the coastline using this method. At the nervous part of the sea is threatening to divide the island into. The local fisherman cant go out to sea for 3 weeks because of the construction work they fear their huts which are right by the water could be washed away at any time. So this work is certainly better than nothing but a longer lasting solution would be better beat stone walls. Or geotextile they would definitely stop the scene from coming any further after a storm you might bring in a bit more sand but thats it all this year costs money to start it might only last 6 months or maybe 10 years but no longer than that. Wooden posts are also designed to stop the sand being washed away the fine tune will look like this with plans to keep the sand in place nothing lol. Conservationists like you believe this is exactly the right solution. This is the right path to be taking. Using gentle measures to preserve the coast by simulating natural processes and. Sand is being brought back here to create a normal sand dune its definitely better than using concrete or stone where you just shift the problem to 23 or 400 metres further along the coast so i dont know if you know. The song. Germanys baltic sea coast known as bowden also need protecting here too says flat salt Water Meadows in keeping with the landscape sufficient the World Wide Fund for nature and another Environmental Group have invested 2 and a half 1000000 euros to buy the land and turn it into a haven for endangered plants and animals. We have an area of 100. 00 hectares if this was farmland which you can still see and were going to give it back to nature this will be turned back just salt Water Meadows it will provide a natural salt water habitat for grassland birds and coastal birds all. These and. This entire Coastal Region was once covered with salt water and now there are a few such areas the german state wants to set up 100 square kilometers of additional salt water and i dont see the progress has been slow with many questioning when the flood wetlands provide sufficient protection against flood waters. When the wave rolls in this will provide a natural break in this area will soon be covered in water so when you have a storm the force of the waves will be reduced here as they meet resistance from this area and then ever way. Of the inflation behind the meadows low level dikes provide additional protection to residential areas the conservationists are hoping the salt Water Meadows will protect the coastline and effectively and naturally me of. Course still protection is not always about major conservation often the driver is the money the brains of last year the tropical islands of the maldives in the indian ocean receive nearly 1400000. 00 visitors new hotels and airports to accommodate them are being built at a cost to both mitchell and locals. And big corporations and businesses all all they seem to win no matter which government is in power. Humans wont stop travelling and recrimination is the only way it will be closer to the airport right now so will there be more coming absolutely over the next 45 years you are probably another 60 some of the resorts here. Are 150. 00 leg or started developing at once there is so much of destruction sedimentation could that leave in which would definitely have a negative impact on. The International Airport in the multi v. N. Capital mali provides a gateway for tourists from all over the world then taken by boat to the resort islands that are just a short distance from the airport that provides a logistical advantage especially when storms hit. In just 15 minutes the visitors arriving crossroads a mega resort made up of 9 islands a night in one of these bungalows cost 650 euros 2 years ago this was all just was. Satellite images reveal how the artificial islands suddenly emerged in the middle of the coral reef goon 2 and a half 1000 palm trees were brought here from other islands if you didnt know youd think it all develops naturally those in charge of the project are keen to uphold that illusion its still a natural island the sand literally came from 10 minutes away from here so ultimately this is still how far off for all the problem trees are from neighboring islands very often because they were developing something on the island say an airstrip or or a construction. The whole issue of artificial islands and replanted palm trees has long called the attention of the Anti Corruption ngo transparency multi. Under a number of deals reached by the previous government nearly 60 call only surrounding the capital mali were leased to invest is they are now building more and more artificial islands for tourists this means the need for palm trees is growing and they are in short supply as multivalent law states the trees mustnt be brought in from abroad why are these trees being transported that is not there then. There are so many islands in the clip for the purpose of extending. For the people to live and. They dont have any plans any trees. Transparency multiverse says that tourism is given more significance than the environment the countrys Environmental Protection agency used to assess 2 recent projects before they were approved but the previous government changed that. Especially if youre consider the areas closer to the capital. There are a lot of. Thing richard not. Making resorts. Rather than doing that we should be focusing on. 6 new airports were scheduled to be built this year and next to improve access between islands the island of call huda for she was stripped of most of its mangroves to accommodate its their port but most of the time it stands empty as its not really needed the next airport is just a 20 minute boat ride away activists like adam up to take to twitter to report on the latest building projects theyre using the twitter hash tag save maldivians to speak count and engage with the authorities. I think its a huge risk to beso economy on just the Tourism Industry alone in order for proliferation of tourism were destroying the very thing which our Tourism Industry is best on. These coconut shells have spent 9 months soaking in the mangrove swamp to get them soft enough to gain fibers used for making groet. For 400. 00 women on the island of kuta for she is the only source of income one that is now drawing up plans are afoot to remove the islands last month groves to make way for a building project 70 year old i should have spent most of her life making rope 1st come in about 44 the airport was built a community was asked if we wanted to keep the mangroves and everyone said yes one of. The politicians simply ignored the residents wishes thats a problem people on the island of corrado have been complaining about 15 years now. Their standoff with the authorities concerns this channel of water sand is to be taken from it regularly to preserve the beaches of the resort opposite its Standard Practice in the mall deeds residents on the island gain nothing from the resort but sand is being taken away from them. From transparency multiverse says the island is shrinking trees along the coast are dying as the beach is steadily eroding shes collecting evidence in a bid to give people here a voice but theyre fighting a powerful opponent. The current one is also connected with some of the leaders of this country so. If it would really be hard. For a Committee Like this to stand up and fight against it i hope that with the new year. Come in they would immediately like stop all the. Projects but its very sad that a lot of this projects. If we want to preserve our environment we also need sustainable policy the indian. Humpback dolphin for example is protected but its habitat is at the entry to dead a conscious is working with fisherman and tourists to build a very nice and introduce responsible thoreson practices. Indias beach paradise offers the perfect s. Cape to eager tourists seeking adventures on the open sea all year round and over the years the regions special men have become more and more indulgent of tourist. Theyve become the main source of income for most families in this region like some mean more g. s. The other traditional fishermen of used to go to catch fish some years tourists would come up and say could you take us to the dolphins we used to take them and charge anywhere from 100 to 2000 rupees but we had no clue what a dolphin was used to think its just another fish. In 2016. Drought a conservationist working to protect dolphins in the seas of north go up one of the big things we need to members who and i think this is the underlying principle of my work is that really dont have a natural domination over everything around us everything deserves a life of dignity and compassion and has its own reason for being one the planet and it doesnt have to justify its existence to us and im for the people expect everything to be justified in relation to their morning Everyone Welcome to our. Experience middle started down our conscious especially to tackle that mindset and create responsible travel experiences to make boat owners like more of their of the environmental damage they could cause if theyre below. I just have 4 things id like to say when we see the dolphin put off your engine stay paddle to the animal if we have to move dont cut this part of travel and bones around it can we do these 4 things on the trip and said ok should be a problem you just tell me when you want me to do it ill do it. With a few boat operators like morgan the fault it was in time to help tourists understand the concept of compassionate dolphin sporting mitras travel experience or to this includes a detailed presentation about the 3 kinds of dolphins found in go as waters how they live how they communicate with each other. The money terror conscious earns is used to pay the boat operators and guides who are partnered with them and invested in Educational Programs the organization is hoping to expand and so do more to help the impressive indian ocean humbugged dolphins and other species whose numbers are declining due to the loss bickered asian and pollution of their habitat. To raise awareness of the problem takes a tourist to a sandbank after their boat right to collect garbage and clean it up for the dolphins and also for the birds that use it as a nesting site. And i must say every single guest who has come with me whether domestic or international has so wholeheartedly and with joy participated in the clean up i have had little kids as young as 5 years old having competitions who can pick up more trash and really feeling proud and kids who have gone back and their parents have texted me and said mike it is no longer asking for the straw mike it is no longer asking for small plastic dinky toys which can be recycled my kid has said they dont want to do high speed water sports because its going to disturb dolphins and totals. 2500 rupees thats about 32 euros but i dont make trust trips to the dolphins could be called steep compared to the prices before she came into the picture but with more and more willing to risk shes a barrier in marine ecosystem conservation at the same time shes creating a sustainable livelihood for the regions fisherman turn to those boat operators following the decline in the marine fishing industry here. Well i think todays stories highlight the increasing need for selfawareness. When it comes to our role in the environment we live in its up to us to consciously undo the wrongs weve inflicted upon the planet if we want to leave it to be hired for our coming generations i hope you have many more to do well be back next week until theyre good buy.
