The generation on the trash and the choice to make Sustainable Living mainstream isnt largely upon them how are young people changing the course of our life thats what we talk about today welcome this is equal we india and. Root 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 into they might be a young scientist in goa is building a biodiversity just a foothold so she and her community can identify 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 no one of the world for its. 25 year old biologist. Prepares to head out for the day of book. 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 and danger. 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 knowledge which has been passed down very few have very few have made attempts to record before so that you know. This knowledge the way people perceive about our city register in the 1st place to maintain records of is like is likely to be lost in the near future so all the information that is that might just get lost. Down is being written down and you know. Just. Learned as home to 5000 people its estuarine ecosystem where fresh water meets salty water evolved on land reclaimed over centuries from mangrove swamps. Also need of to the secret meeting today. After photographing each home not stone its local name did to mind its scientific designation and gathers information about its cropping seasons and its local uses linux. Yes. I dont want to say that its my honor to store something that i have done or take credit for it but im just a medium ok i just have the exporting a bit of knowledge to put. So i am just a medium through whom the people of the lot upper thing that i just go into. To do next stop is the farm of. Who used to go the Indigenous School good variety of lies known for travelling in sideline water recently hybrid species have largely replace school good due to the larger yield the promise for farmers. Here 3 years here including me is ready. To die for the war but for the last 14 years before 35 to 40 years they were fertile soil. Through the. Help from the board. 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. First present her findings to a representative 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 sitting you know and talking that ok on this ecosystem this is the most important crucial species and on the other event in peoples biological 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 in a legal system in a forest ecosystem earning 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 same game she has very good herself for people. Who do not really she is a jerk or some of biodiversity Management Company and i i think shes one of the youngest girl who has accepted. I dont see a profession but. She has. 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 island that i keep repeating the statement saying that the what is around you observe what is around you inquisitive of whats around you in that we 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 office of the campaign from one generation to the next since 2011. Planned for the Planet Foundation is now advocating to plant one trillion tree is worldwide we met with the person whos leading this charge. You know were here today because our future is at stake will be left 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 the 500 feet. It all began with a presentation he gave at school suggesting that 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 to 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 planet kicked off initially as 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 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 plot 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. Plant 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 immediately we will completely fail in keeping the 2 degree limit and a steering towards catastrophic Climate Change not only knew we had one major problem beijing and 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 rise the rich ecosystem of the war in the north sea is that a risk of disappearing several young wall into an environmental scientists are working together to protect the habitat which is home to thousands of animals and plants its this combination of the knowledge of the scientists and the enthusiasm of the thats keeping the hope alive to save the ecosystem. Well thank you to the other mother thats what im doing here is something the seagulls also day its called trading for muscles im not treading on them its not an act of aggression but the way that the girls get through this they use these movements to loosen the ground of the mother so that gradually and you can see how many here already lots of cockles come to the surface and you can see them here. Theyre fascinated by the wotton see 2 days of it each and since yes or no volunteering for half a year as conservationists part of their work is to take visitors on low tide tours through this unique eco system which is also a National Park but hans from the. Sea office says the eco system is under threat thats in our part but the National Park is profoundly impacted by Climate Change and its nice if we dont succeed in stopping Climate Change its not were also busy adapting to the damage already caused by rising sea levels. Then 100 years from now and thats not much of this is what im seeing national longer a year one and in 200 years it might be gone altogether as the tide ebbs and flows its continually changing the habitat of the plants and animals that live here. In this ng here is the early stage of a field of seagrass you can really see the north sea grasses. Do stunts lino says especially interested in the geology of the mud flats as gives him back mad that i have and what im saying is there are 3 kinds of. Well then you have a horse of sediments the mixed sediments and the finest sediments convenor if you look at the ground you can see the difference in color. For the 1st stone in the course of some sediment the oxidation layer is about 3 centimeters in the mix sediments its around 2 and in the line of sediment about one centimeter before id really be able to protect the area from the impact. 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 centimeters 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 by now however we have to reckon with the fact that it could be even higher than a 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 wotton sea pilot projects will determine whether it will work. Also impacted by Climate Change is the buffer zone between the sea and protective dikes these 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 wind and Sea Conservation station explains the marshes are also home to birds and plenty of insects and this is a stem swelling from a sea planting stem warning weevil are it does nothing else in the world besides laid eggs in the flower stalks of c. Plant st and its groups develop here in this stem. Theres also a c. Planting stem boring weve all parasitic wasp. Salt marshes grow when sediment is deposited on them during high tide but for how much longer than. I moment salt marshes are keeping up a lot of 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. Under water starts to rise that quickly Coastal Protection authorities will have Serious Problems to contend with as a source no i think. From common seals grey seals common porpoises and fish. To crabs mussels one and snails. And migratory and mudflap birds estimates just there are some 10000 species in the what and see. Obviously the want to see in terms of its size and biodiversity is pretty you. Nique. 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. To go to. Its hard to predict the exact future of the mudflats today its proving difficult to find one prominent if you loose of inhabitants the wild warm. Let them vote we didnt have any luck finding a log but today hes a has found Something Else a razor clam this up of course 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 if they lie flat and then this foot comes out forms the ground and then the muscle flips upright and burrows its way into a moat. The warden see is a fascinating place an eco system that might one day disappear beneath the waves forever. Abandoned fishing nets a Severe Threat to marine ecosystems these nets attached to large strollers are dragged along to catch everything in their part if they get stuck just simply cut and 2nd at the bottom of the reef where they destroy the entire marine life and dive out in india was shocked when he 1st saw the impact of these abandoned it and decided to do something about it hes now want to mission to clear the waters of these ghost myths. S. P. Irans life changed when he discovered a dive site 40 kilometers off the coast of put a charity. It was 2010 and 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 before that was the 1st. I saw it with the big ned lang dont and if uppity and like millions of his life im infected but theres no way to escape the episode of insight some of my few few faces are dead few of course are lying there on that i was about to die so when does the read off on the wall that is the 1st scene i saw with a big really big fishing net so it would take like 8 days to clean the big grossman. Since then ive been in the steam of divers have spent countless days in 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. Worldwide these ghost nets have a devastating impact on medina most of the. Fishermen in the area are hit hard as discarded nets account for 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 dont die because of you guys because i dive and that was because any other. We tried to explain later for like 11 of the fears to interact with the fisherman how the die was helping to grow the fish live. We can build them to ok dont use this net dont use that net the underlying reason we can say that we did to get them so if you did the kid them then they will understand oh we can you dismiss it because we use this method of damages if these days weve had damage because i didnt want any fish in future all the boys who go away with their eyes and ears and cant get any money for the fish thats so thats what id read do. Project. 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 boat captain with organization temple adventures. He has also learned to scuba dive seeing fish in the natural habitat gave these are the final push to change his lifestyle. 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. When this and other fisherman are not just clearing nets but to improve the overall marine ecosystem along the south and in course. One of their projects is to build artificial reefs to support life underwater. We try to give 200 kids before we have many more reef. We need the 20. 1234 reefs. Be creative. Be forward with ne levin that the other person in doing for the role he plays is to rock music like 15000 women are going to do a line or need to travel like a condom are needed to have a little for that every night important city to know everybody you can rely on preaching. Seeing how the area has thrived with these organizations intervention ive been encourages everyone to do something about destructive practices that exist in their own backyards. But the main concern is individual responsibility its not ok i want to wait for when im going to fish and run the cleaner be why you need to wait for that you can augment by you want. People in the same village if you are sunday youre playing for youre going for me right same time spend like 20 minutes between some youre right if you take it off you own media if even if you do that that you fear the worst and because of that you know why theyre working and pollution thats my dog. A conscious 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 what i believe can be can for our planet ill leave you with that thought and see you next week until then good bye.
