Groceries medicines the internet and other essential but millions of people across the country are struggling to survive every single day the pandemic has changed the world as we know it. Coming to you from my neighborhood on the outskirts of mumbai for all of us and 2020 over 90 isnt life changing event impacting every system and process on our planet and theres no single visual that can summarize this for the history books millions have been left with no proper income on the one hand on the other it has never been cleaner during my lifetime how has the lock down changed the habitat lets take a close. In march crowded mumbai became a ghost city that it does it didnt could never have even dreamed of. India underwent one of the most rigorous lockdowns of the corporate crisis as 1300000000 people were placed under curfew with 4 hours notice likely while caring for its environment and all its citizens. Now another impact of the lock bell is the difficulty in getting it out especially with public transport being shot or views more and more people in many parts of the world up turning to cycling as a reliable alternative and governments like germanys are responding to this spike by opening up emergency bike hearings the question is can cycling become integrity of them transport systems. Public transport during the coronavirus pandemic might not be the best idea so what is a safe way to get through the city under the current social distancing groups. More and more berlin isnt getting on my bikes and the city has reacted to this new trend by adding cycle lanes. Usually takes years due to administrative procedures is now happening in days. Because amid the pandemic cyclists need more space on the roads. The more you can go that route is out of the god given very dangerous to the coverage now which i agree is more safe in my opinion theres so much room for my bike now but it ought to be like this everywhere for cyclists in fact. These provisional bike lanes will be in place for at least a couple of months according to fake spice craik head of roads and green spaces and balanced preacher time points but district. Has eaten off the old and are these are the old road markings you can see that the cycle paths used to be very narrow and you can imagine that it was a cyclist overtake someone who cycling slowly there wont be 1. 00 metres between them on apart from within so wider cycling paths are crucial right out of the water storm. Surge safety activists are calling them pop up bike lanes and looking at social media you can see that theyre hopping up all over the world but in past 6 city in the philippines. In france near paris. In brussels belgium. In the u. S. State of new york. And in albania they were built over night. In berlin the new bike lanes used to be Parking Spaces a change that isnt making everyone happy going to the where will my customers park now they come here that. I myself parked in the back but we only have 4 or 5 spaces there. But its chaos. But this is what biking generally looks like im ballin. Im sure high nation is part of the changing Cities Initiative which is campaigning for a new traffic policy. Ok this is what you mean right yeah thats exactly what i mean that happens a lot until then and its really dangerous because you have to drive into the cockpit take the driver on the bike play during the coronavirus restrictions traffic was reduced by 30 percent and public transport recorded up to 80 percent fewer passengers only the number of cyclists went up and she hopes the crisis might make the streets more by a pedestrian friendly. I imagine all the time how it would be those less cars like here all the cars parked could be just. You could plant flowers all put the chairs off the cafe. There could be a playground for everything. It might sound like blue sky thinking but the pandemic is resulting in improvements for cyclists and other german cities under around the world bank but the past milan mexico city bogota a numerous other cities have also introduced short term street closures and temporary bike lanes. In. We might be temporary grounded for many more weeks or even months to come but thanks to the internet we can top this big beautiful world. From pretty much anywhere without destroying all harming the involvement with god and outside the missions what your thoughts can now think you feel the storm is destinations historic museums and even interview local people you would really get to meet otherwise. Travelling has become impossible since the world has been grappled by the novel coronavirus.

Watch will travel at least till we have good haptic support middle tier t. P. S. The expedience of sensing the p. Is for what it actually is so many people have spoken for carbon p. Bound to their homes we need to get back into nature in mumbai a unique walk for tourists which puts you in touch with how habitats developed around the city is welcome on the other side. Cities are often built by reclaiming land dredging soil and driving Indigenous People out to make way for development and urban life as we know it. Indias Boston Financial capital mumbai is similar it was once only home to indigenous communities like the coolie fisherman and morley tribe. To connect this bridge between the past and the present to of mumbais current residents started an organization called. That translates as go slow it invites city duelist to ram down the face of their daily lives reflect and reconnect with the original land the city was built on. One way on and so then off and they show mumbai in very glamorous. Run of things. Headed towards heritage of mumbai and we dont see the other side of mumbai thats i dont know me is beautiful if you see this or this item in the ground i was very interested i never said it is very vibrant and this river has a bigger. Name in terms of this. Is the most festive of your favorites of a lip service. To this walk is called the river walk it has degraded in recent years causing mumbai to become extremely vulnerable to flooding and water Borne Disease but the wally community of now part out that has lived along these banks for generations has a different approach to the river and forest many aspects of their traditional ways of life remain intact and in the guys house is an embodiment of their philosophy a decades old star mined mound is safely in close. Within the protective boundary of her brick wall she has no means of income and it is the Community Around her participants on the Heritage Walk that supports her in a frightening trend the government has now categorized her community as illegal settlers. They want to now demolish our homes we dont want a trace of the Indigenous People we didnt even have access to water i used to carry large pictures to the river to fetch water every day it was. Another member of the community is an artist whose family has lived in our part for 7 generations. To our tribal art form he tells this story with natural objects and paint made from stones bought up gets a share in go hollow hollows earnings through these books. The Forest Department believes that we are outsiders and they want to relocate us plan to build hotels for example but they dont know our culture and traditions the dont want to consider how we tribals leave more than 50 percent of us on the traditional cooking stoves and work outdoors if they relocate us to an apartment complex where were leading. The way we are used to where we are chickens it will be a huge problem. We can do with the forest. Today members of the worldly community who work at the sanctuary as caretakers gods and gardeners they have always looked after their forest and lived. Off its fruits and fish. For a City Developer these scenes may seem unreal even though these partners or communities have been living in their backyard. And one of them for mention in the morning if somebody had been like you mentioned you never knew of this bar like after party or as he came to know probably that you know was this part i know its early start really even i didnt know about something maybe on sunday Army National guard has been your for your the biggest takeaway for me is the sheer interaction that ive had with the Beautiful People here we live in in a cocoon we stay away from the very people we share a city with so im glad i interacted with the warring people here. This is called the guard plant if you chop a bit of this grind it and drink its water every day it is safe to help with fever and in controlling diabetes. We dont try to preach about this and then people when you come to this. Part of our example you realize that there is so much of interaction between and women there were people learn how the community is going to land and then women and that in itself is a lesson and its probably through that experience that people testing the food or drinking the water or taking a dip in the river and similarly another experiences these are the kind of things that only those stories and no amount of preaching will help. Just participants a 1000 rupees for each of their walks experiences that strive to break down walls between different communities living within a city while hoping to encourage a more inclusive and impacted seek coexistence. Now when we do get the chance to step outside into a leecher many of us might look at these clowns animals and the ocean and call them crisis it may not be so in the literal sense economists are trying to stagnate not because they want to sell it but because they want to see. What is a tree. City trees help to lower temperatures on a hot summer day people meet at urban parks like this to play sports go jogging things like that these are the benefits people get from city parks. Than 10 seconds is a professor of environmental economics he calculates the economic value of Ecosystem Services. When simply services that nature provides for humans are known as Ecosystem Services or utilities nature supplies us with wood water food secondly it supplies Regulatory Services the nature regulates the climate trees absorb c o 2 from the atmosphere and beyond that we have Cultural Services places where people can engage in recreational recuperate and we have a 4th category natures Supportive Services board like the soil processes that make the ground for a child. These services are not taken into account politically or economically. For instance twice as much c o 2 as all forests put together but they are drained and destroyed for farming construction. There is also a clear monetary and. That is we can very clearly calculate the value of a wetland for storing carbon and for other services this leads to conservation programs private individuals can buy tracts of drained wetland and try to rehydrate them mangroves are another valuable resource theyre imposing for Coastal Protection and biodiversity the losses caused by mangrove destruction by 2050 will amount to more than 1800000000 euros in value for the region. The mangroves are coastal forests that often grow into the water theyve been largely destroyed in some countries up to 50 or 60 percent in indonesia for example in many cases restoring them is very expensive and. This shows that we often make very short Term Economic decisions but the long term effects are not given adequate consideration. Every ecosystem has to function whether it serves as a protector. And the impacts on. Their also Global Marine ecosystems in particular. The earths coral reefs make up perhaps only one percent of the Ocean Surface but they are absolutely vital for the bio diversity of marine life values of coral reefs are especially high of 21000000. 00 euros per square kilometer about 25 percent of corals have already been destroyed by coral bleaching and even if we were to achieve a 2 degree target this would hardly save the earths carles they face the greatest threat. Environmental destruction often has no cost for the perpetrators and even if companies in europe pay for this c o 2. 00 emissions is that enough. Infallible we calculate the damage done by a ton of c o 2 long for example should we only calculate the damage for germany if a ton of c o 2 is emitted should we also consider that the south sea islands are being inundated you see working out the social price of carbon is also an ethical question with the environmental cost calculation can put the environments real value into a totally new perspective. Thats all be how for you to begin i hope you could maybe take obvious from todays show well see you again next week until that nice to see if im good care of yourself and your loved ones go back. To.
