Life thats what we talk about today hello and welcome this is equal india and. Were often oblivious to how much biodiversity with each of these species plays an Important Role in maintaining the fine balance in our environment but because we dont know about them we often fail to notice how checked and they might be a young scientist in goa is building a biodiversity just. So she and her Community Get identified and preserve the will they pose this. Its only morning on the quiet river island off a stark contrast to the rest of go up which is known around the world for its party atmosphere. And. 25 year old biologist hyacinth prepares to head out for the day of. Her job entails exploring every inch of the island she was born on a job that includes striking up conversations with local residents about their lives here. While india is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world 110th of its vile flora and fauna is an danger it. Is gathering local knowledge in the hope of preventing further loss. You know how many households. Shes 1st meeting the form of village leader to learn about indigenous communities. This knowledge has been transferred to generations in the form of folklore its just order tradition or knowledge which has been passed down very few have very few have made attempts to record this in people so that you know that im and this knowledge the way the pope was about our city register is in the 1st place to maintain records of for their will is like is likely to be lost in the near future so all the information that is that might just cut off and get lost. Down is being written down in words and you know mundane enough for biodiversity just. Learned as home to 5000 people its estuarine ecosystem there fresh water meets salty water evolved on land reclaimed over centuries. From mangrove swamps. Also meat of to the ecosystem a vibrant idea of medicine in hopes formerly undocumented but passed onto generations of human inhabitants like eventually without her who is meeting today. After photographing each home notes down its local name due to mines its scientific designation and gathers information about its cropping season and its local uses a mix of unlikely. Thanks. I dont want to say that its my you know the store something that i have done or the credit for it but im just a medium ok i just tell the exporting a bit of knowledge to put this in place so i am just a medium through whom the people of the lot are putting that i just dont intend. To do next stop is the farm of none who used to go the Indigenous School good variety of rice known for travelling insulin water recently hybrid species have largely replaced core goal due to the larger yield the promise for farmers. Here 3 here including one. Is ready. To die you know for the war but for the last 14 years before 31st 40 years it will mark the soil. Through the by i was here at a storage in the man help from the biodiversity board in reviving agriculture that has lost. Putting the demands of the people towards the State Government so the biodiversity conveys a message from the local level to the state level so if the locals demand are passed on through the register to the state level there would be some help that will come undone if we explain to them that this is the need of the hour. And here are 1st present her findings to a representative form of all the adults in the community to fill in any gaps in knowledge this also ensures that the requests and recommendations come from the entire community and we can hold the State Government responsible for any action or more importantly in action. Considered result is still being you know and talking that ok on these ecosystems this is the most important crucial species and on the other event in peoples words or to register the people say because of. Great concern to due process that has happened that yes this is a species we want to go in marine ecosystem you know greegor system in a forest ecosystem early in all the ecosystems existing in the village and that i think has a major strain because who are going to ultimately protect it is religious. Across the country biodiversity registers have struggled with bureaucracy and poor participation at various levels since being awfully quiet in 2002 less than 7 percent have been completed people like again are hoping to see that number. Its a unique combination because she has a scientific qualification and the same time she has been getting herself for people. Who do not really shes the chair person of Biodiversity Management Committee and i i think shes one of the youngest girl who has accepted these but. I dont see a profession. She has towards. To ensure participation across the board spends her evenings meeting with pupils at her old school and talking to them about local plants and animals. I keep telling this to the younger folks in the i mean that i keep repeating this statement thing that the what is around you observe what is around you inquisitive of whats around you in that with and to get. Back to a traditional knowledge modern science and most importantly peoples participation indias biodiversity has a better chance of being preserved. Climate change isnt a new phenomenon and neither is finding solutions to tackle it in 2016 United Nations involving program started the 1000000000 Tree Campaign with people from around the world to offset Climate Change at its core the idea is to pass on the witness of the campaign from one generation to the next since 2011 the huge plant for the Planet Foundation is now advocating to plant one trillion tree is worldwide we met with the person whos leading this charge. Yes were here today because our future is at stake. To deal with all the problems that adults on resolving today. Felix think binary age 133 years earlier he founded what would become a worldwide Youth Movement and spoke at International Conferences to promote his plan for the planet idea Climate Crisis is planting trees and we will also reach to 500. It all began with a presentation he gave at school suggesting the children around the planet should plant 1000000. 00 trees when the idea took off finkbeiner took his campaign to the streets and even to the heights of mad kilimanjaro. In january 2020 he appeared at the World Economic forum convincing governments and corporations to make a greater commitment to reforestation. I would have never expected any of this back when we started plan for the planet we were just a couple of 4th graders planting a tree at our school with out of a real plan of what happens next we were just incredibly lucky that 2 local journalists reported about our 1st tree and thats how some other schools found out about it and started planting some trees as well and thats how plan for the plan to kick off initially has a Competition Among some local schools of who plants the most trees the idea picked up pace and took on a global scale. Almost 14000000000 trees have now been planted 588000 children on every continent except antarctica so are the Younger Generation the Better Climate guardians. At that age we have the power to see the world more clearly the how of a lot of reasons why it wont work that we dont know about yet and because of that it can work and this is really what plan for the planet has been about for the past 13 years not just because of me but because of tens of thousands of Young People Working together to plant as many trees as possible and the same time calling on governments as well. Not surprisingly plant for the planet is particularly active in the country where it was born last year children and teenagers planted trees in 60 locations across germany from sycamores to copper beeches to get help and advice from local forestry experts. The gathering is also both through the arguments youngsters can use when discussing climate protection with grown ups. I think you know you grow older you become a lot more pessimistic about whats possible and. I would have never you know a 22 year old me would have never started a Tree Planting company in because i would have just not believe that it is possible that we can make a difference that way. But 9 year old me didnt have these concerns and thats why thats why it exists. Planned for the planners now foundation receive some of its funding from the proceeds of their own fair trade brand of chocolate customers include nationwide retail chains. As for future aims the skys the limit. In the next 1020 years we need to plant these trillion trees in the process restore our ecosystems all around the world it protects biodiversity it removes those huge amounts of it removes huge amounts of carbon from that most fear and at the same time we need to start seriously reducing our Global Carbon emissions theres only a tiny fraction of the governments around the world that are actually currently implementing their paris agreements if we dont change that immediately we will completely fail in keeping the 2 degree limit and steering towards catastrophic Climate Change now do you think we have one major problem facing our be here i dont know d the future young people are calling on politicians to secure a scene here in zambia as the groups motto goes stop talking start planting. A seed levels rice the rich ecosystem of the wall dont see the north sea is that a risk of disappearing several young wall into as an environmental scientists are working together to protect the habitat which is home to thousands of birds animals and plans its this combination of the knowledge of the scientists and the enthusiasm of the wall and thats keeping the hope alive to save the endangered ecosystem. Wealth instead of all the love for thats what im doing here is something the sea goes also its called trading for mussels im not treading on them its not an act of aggression but the way that the gulls get through this they use these movements to loosen the ground of the mother so that gradually and you can see how many hair already knots of cockles come to the surface and you can see them here. Theyre fascinated by the wotton see todays a vintage and since us are no volunteering for half a year as conservationists part of their work is to take visitors on bow tie tours through this unique eco system which is also a National Park. But hans from the w w f one c office says the eco system is under threat thats and the National Park is profoundly impacted by Climate Change and its nice if we dont succeed in stopping Climate Change are also busy adapting to the damage already caused by rising sea levels. Then 100 years from now much of this is what im seeing National Park will no longer be here and in 200 years might be gone altogether. As the tide ebbs and flows its continually changing the habitat of the plants and animals that live here. In the sea here is the early stage of a field of sea grass you can really see the sea grass. Distance leno says especially interested in the geology of the mudflats as gives him but now that i have and i want to see it there are 3 kinds of. You have a lot of sediments the mixed sediments and the finest sediments convenor if you look at the ground you can see the difference in color in the. First stone in the course of some sediment the oxidation layer is about 3 centimeters in the mix sediments its around 2 and in the final sediment about one centimeter millimeter to protect the area from the impacts of Climate Change politicians and conservationists have developed whats known as the one c. Strategy 2100. In this modern sea strategy we eliminated the following 2 scenarios in one we worked on the basis of a 20 centimeter Sea Level Rise 5205050 centimeters by 2100. In the other which we call the increased scenario we factored in a rise of 80 centimeters by 2100 is that why now we have to reckon with the fact that it could be even higher because the consequence of these scenarios is always that we have to help the one c. To grow up with a pace with rising sea levels. The idea is to apply a process known as beach replenishment that would see sand added to certain areas of the water and see. Pilot projects will determine whether it will work also impacted by Climate Change is the buffer zone between the sea and protective dikes the salt marshes are important for Coastal Protection because they serve to break the force of the waves before they crash against the levees the only plants that grow here have to withstand high concentrations of salt but as i know bush adding of the one c conservation station explains the marshes are also home to birds and plenty of insects. This is a stem swelling from a seed planted in stem warring weevil are it does nothing else in the world besides laid eggs in the flower stalks of sea plantations and its groups develop here in this stem laugh and theres also a sea planting stem boring we have all parasitic wasp. Salt marshes grow when sediment is deposited on them during high tide but for how much longer than the. Moment salt marshes are keeping up and but if sea levels rise more quickly there will be a Tipping Point where they disappear because they cant grow at the same rate. And more men when that happens it will be the end of this community of species of plants and insects and nesting birds. Because theyll drown. In the water starts to rise that quickly Coastal Protection authorities will have Serious Problems to contend with. Source no i think. From common seals grey seals common porpoises and fish. To crabs mussels ones and snails. And migratory and mudflap birds estimates just there are some 10000 species in the wotton sea. Obviously. You dont want to see in terms of its size and biodiversity is pretty unique water is more it became a World Heritage site but there are a landscape such as islands mudflats and salt marshes in many other places around the world the experience we collect here in terms of Sea Level Rise can also be transferred to other regions. Its hard to predict the exact future of the mudflats today its proving difficult to find one prominent if you loose event habitant the world warm with. Them but we didnt have any luck finding a long term hes a has found Something Else a razor clam. I was lucky enough to see one on a different tour of the mud flats extremely rare to see want to tall because they can stand up within seconds its pretty fascinating they lie flat and then this foot comes out on to the ground and then the muscle flips upright and burrows its way into the moat. The warden see as a fascinating place an eco system that might one day disappear beneath the waves forever. Abandoned fishing nets was a Severe Threat to marine ecosystems these units attached to large strollers are dragged along to catch everything in there but if they get stuck there simply cut and 2nd of the bottom of the reef where they destroy the entire marine life and dive out in the media was shocked when he 1st saw the impact of these abandoned nets and decided to do something about it hes now one of mission to clear the waters of these gore snits. Winds life changed when he discovered a dive site 40 kilometers off the coast of pulled the charity. It was 20 and then his team had stumbled upon an undersea wall with exquisite marine life. But admins wall as it came to be known had a huge. Problem. When b. Saw that was the 1st i saw it with the big ned lang dont and it top of that and like millions of his life on inside but theres no way to escape their facade of a inside summer by few few faces or bad few of course are lying on that i was about to die so when thats the read of on the wall that is the 1st scene i saw with the big big really big fishing net so it could take like 8 days to clean that big grossman. Since then ive been in his team of divers have spent countless days to moving large quantities of plastic nets discarded by Fishing Vessels and traditional fisherman. Nets end up in the ocean when they are damaged are no longer useful. As they drift along with ocean currents or settle on the sea floor they trap and kill everything that comes in that way. Was why these ghost nets have a devastating impact on medina most of the. Fishermen in the area hit hard as discarded nets accounts a 10 percent reduction in catch but the local community has needed a lot of convincing to change the age old practices when we start diving in that area all the fisherman of these villages have no doubt gone by all because of you guys because our dive and that was because any other. We tried to explain later for like 11 of our fears to interact with the fisherman how the dye was helping to grow to fish live. We can build them do ok go on usenet dont use that net dont do land fishing we can say that we had to educate them so if you did the kid them then they would understand oh we can use this net because being used is natural damages eve these days weve had damage because i didnt want any fish in future all the visual way with theirs and theirs and. Get any money. So that the trade we do protect them. One fisherman in particular works closely with out of and. This comes from a long line of traditional fisherman and fishing has always been the way his family survives. But watching the sea change before his eyes this has given up fishing and now works as a board captain with ivans organization temple adventures. He has also learned to scuba dive seeing fish in the natural habitat give these are the final push to change his lifestyle but. Since i started scuba i dont feel like fishing because i get to see them underwater and feel i shouldnt be killing them i also go into the water and see them look so beautiful now there are almost no fish left. And i just work as a captain. Its good i can educate my children from the decent salary that i wouldnt get from fishing. Able to sustain ourselves now. Ive been this and other fisherman are not just clearing nets but aiming to improve the overall marine ecosystem along the south indian cost. One of the projects is to build artificial reefs to support life underwater. If you want to get it off before now we have many more reef be through and you need the 20. 1234 reefs. Reach the creative. Unbelievable free flow record with north. All the personnel going for that rocky play those 2 like 1516 going to do and if you show. Me any good talent like maracana money to have a little for that every night in Port Authority to know everybody you can rely on pushing. Seeing how the area has thrived with these organizations intervention. Encourages everyone to do something about destructive practices that exist in their own backyards. But the main concern is that individual responsibility its not ok one of the big 4 when im going to fish and live and clean a bit why you need to wait for that you cannot move beyond. The people in the same village if you are standing you know playing for you or going for me and i leave same time spent like 20 minutes to clean from. It if you take it off your own media if you were to do that that you feel you do it because that you know why there were certain pollution that my daughter. A conscious the Younger Generation speaking out loudly and taking positive action is a wonderful sign of resilience as a species but it does come down to each one of us to preserve protect and do whatever little we can for our planet ill leave you with that thought and see you next week until then good bye.
