Delis colorful and the crowd around 19000000 people live you stop the sticker leave 1000 more people come here every day from all over the world delhi has the highest proportion of migrants of all indian cities but the sense of p. C. s and connection to ones new in one seems to grow slowly. That is something the team behind the internet blog means 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 the greens found wouldnt sing. Moonlight the city doesnt have a state border now and then is missing in one state for new places and offer a lot of discussions. Were going to project back to the urban eco tourism project and the object of this when you go to the project is to big people who are living in delhi for 203040 years and big name one is when you go to them experience showed them the many systems i was in that supported them and can learn them and transform them into. The biodiversity park is one of the biggest attractions of delhis to approach it in compass is about 10000. 00 hectares. For young. Scientist suppose watches the fall when he started his work here in the land along the yemen other banks was bad news actually it is simply somebody asked me not to buy during election and actually in many fist oh 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 miller m. R. As that you need. You need the dolphin should be jumping you need to even admit there are 70. You need even be learned by going to bush you know what office 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 and experiment you raised many many questions and i did down. The deli. Found it going to be years ago it all started with the blog to this day go and sing growing it whenever he comes across the environmental problem. In the 1st blog post 1st published in march 2007 and then it will be published on interesting stories you dont gather momentum its true i mean there was a common cement that in spite of so there was a friend of ours who responded in the scene a professor and he shared the photograph with us already and then immediately asked permission and posted in the blog saying look a common palm civet spotted in any and then at the end when i was going to for our scripts are picked up and found a snake and this for information and for you the fact that you know how the park was being really showed the photograph in us and we immediately to get permission and then publish it on the blog saying look this is what it is all about its not just you know and its also going to buy that its not just people its all to having biodiversity and i. Love to become a campaign web page for an Environmental Action the reason. 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 every brutal manner so this barcode box had been scraped off and a number had been written on all the trees each tree had a unique number of cars so we went to various offices of interest to find out whats happening. And then somebody said we dont know whos done this. So then they figured that. And then. In front of 1000. Instructors and. On. The blog about inappropriate making of the trees and the plans to cut them down arose peoples interest thats how the universitys management found out and halted the plans to cut down the trees.

Are always on the lookout for those initiatives which work for effectiveness management and once artemisinin the phone was up to the woman we heard that there was one company which i said ive been to any and is now. And has made an. Oriental apartments. Deli greens is a Nonprofit Organization financed by donations and the revenues from its workshops. With the funding that and my members tried to make a little bit more livable. Now regularly go systems like the ones in the biodiversity park has a variety of plants and animals take 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 weapons are tracked this explainer 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 ecosystem 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. More 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 wetlands 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 1703 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. Now what of your life situation gave you the option to save or did any of that environmentally call. Decision various lobbies are working against you to prevent that from happening well a fascinating can give you that expedience 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 ones one roll of the dice can ruin a players economy it all depends on the cart and the Natural Disaster it represents that. It was important for us to designs a game that you are doing the 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. Klaus eisenach is an expert on the economics of Climate Change and one of the brains behind. The i was always a game into the just so i could see swings to bring it in if you look Climate Change policy is 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 we need to 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. Games are a medium that allows. To learn about new subjects. Picked 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. The humbled university is one of countless that means hosting berlins on your Science Institute open night and events where researchers present their work new technologies experiments and games. Theres also a mobile version 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 players 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 every huge urgency to deal with this problem and we have lost too much time already 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 time that we also need to have political change going on we need to engage and cooperate globally in class and his team have funding to take that game to the next level they just hope it can inspire players globally to make a change in the real world.

Just a few more stitches and this hand puppet will be ready. To start a play these children are putting on tomorrow and they have to be sure they know their lines. The play was written by participants in a workshop on Sustainable Farming and the children contributed some ideas of their own. That we dont know that we have to protect the forest they say by growing plants that are good for the soil and then we cause less damage. Than anyone. 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 jazzer army is top of us to 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 diffusion of innovation tell. The american n. G. O. Rare organizes workshops for farmers and local politicians on Sustainable Farming methods. That cover the ins and outs of organic farming and how to market the new products. The aim is to restructure farming here. This is where the young pup or tears have a part to play. When they talk about think that this is only meant for the children but when it is a sin that parents and they. Love. This is a very powerful and long its a very a cause. And. I think it would do a lot. Back in the mountains my about jahi is the mother of garnish one of the young property is his at school right now while his father sprays his corn with insecticide he knows its highly toxic but says he has no alternative. We know its bad for nature and for our health but we can only harvest enough corn if we use the insecticide. Where the outside oh we had people you know so you know. The convincer farmers it is not it necessary to produce. And his wife likes me to 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 are 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 turmeric grow even when theres not much rain where. The big day has arrived for our young property is. That 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 ganesh 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 natural. And neighboring as more about it. Perhaps well try to. Bend the workshop participants sing a song they wrote themselves to inspire enthusiasm to pursue the changes that also urgently needed to ensure that people can live here in safety.
