A species like the destruction of the involvement to leave it for example get me you examine these choices and use money as an incentive to protect the environment thats what well talk about today hello welcome to equal india im sunk that raghu coming to you from mumbai commercial agriculture it is one of the biggest reasons for be forestation accounting for 14 percent of all the tropical trees fell between the years 2 positive and 2010 according to u. N. Figures in regions like the west on cots in india local farmers are having to cut down trees to make ends meet the support their agricultural practices but a Community Project is dawning pings are bound for the region. Of. The forest around the religion in western india secured to its people especially because of his baby doc the trees they dont only grow where they are also the home of the great horn with that the red fruits from the crease doc 2 and 69 year old sucker romani are the heads of 32. 00 well it is that on the area they know of the importance of the trees we are tired of this tree of hornbill this is here from ages and is being respected by our forefathers from generations the age of this tree is not less than 225 years whenever there is any function in the village this tree is worshiped 1st. That was going on with them the rest in gods a mountainous region running to the south of mumbai in former times there was a unique rain forest here not much of it is left many large productive crees would chop down here a few years ago to build the trees to could they be done and due to economic pressure locals got rid of the secret to make space for livestock farming however the remaining grandfathers contained precious treasures the fruit of the baby doc a tree our own ingredient in the i regret the herbal medicine and just the fear while function has developed a business idea from this local harvest the fruits of the trees. One of them is to do good old roger. He has been a permanent member of the project for a tease. I thought gailey. Example of reverse migration was leaving for mumbai to do its job as there was no one in the family or livelihood at the relist station very present to develop a nature connect on talk to me and suggested me for the job of collecting. Job. Creating income for the local its an important concern of the project it did no longer rely on the family they dont need to chop down the crease the groups are dried and sorted by the vision of the growing of them and take of the seats. Are not among the women is 25 years old. I come here to actually my live with my husband and also are dependent on here good. Jameson i. Q. Score director of the fair while back to nature connect project teaching the locals to live from the fruits of the old grease is one aspect that matters to him another one is their contribution to Climate Change the forest areas that we are saving in the cards sequestering 11000. 00 carbon in one acre so if we say that in the last one year we have saved 2000 acres of forest it concludes c we 200000 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide getting released in the in the atmosphere. After the flutes have been dried. To make my robot which are used for. A mixture of abuse didnt i read the medicine. Meanwhile 20 communities make their living from harvesting processing and crossposting to free the income last year alone around 100000 here. About 1000. 00 of the old trees could be saved from deforestation and that is another property of the home but it nests in the branches or baby doc if. You do intensively for the station the population of these rare birds had declined enormously thanks to the project the population is now recovered we found that the out of our nesting sites of going to mystic 5. Things i read where on the tree lovely i mean the nobility got so it was very clear that if we are going to save the beleaguered trees we have saved the great hondas the project not only ensures the crease are protected from being cut down the survival of the baby doctor creases taken care of by the hornbill itself. As a socalled farmer of the forest it ensures that the seeds of the food spread again. Planted and it dont always go hand in hand many a time history has. Come from investing in not Conscious Companies seem to be. More. Assured that their money is being human in a socially and environmentally responsible. 20 years 2010 drilling rig exploded in the gulf of mexico leading to the Largest Oil Spill in history. Revealed that the attempts by oil company b. P. To cut costs and maximize profits could lead to the disaster. Taking its toll on. The incident illustrates the frequent conflict between the planners and shareholder profits. But what if it didnt have to be this way. Very expressed concern around its source. For this scandal some investors that sold their b. P. Shares concerned about the companys record on environmental social and governance issues so they avoided the stock crash the fall of the oil spill. These 3 metrics are now called e s g and theyre defining a new way of investing that promises to reconcile climate and profit. But can they deliver. As cynical as the financial world might seem ethical considerations of always played a role in investment decisions. The origins of responsible investing trace back to 1758 when some religious groups prohibited members from profiting from the slave trade. But the modern era of responsible investing really evolved in the 1960 s. Together with the Boycott Movement it started with the boycotts of companies that did business with apartheid south africa that was really the genesis i think. Many kind of grew up along with the Green Movement through seventys and eightys and kind of going through the right move of tobacco stocks removal of firearms manufactures removal of Nuclear Weapons manufacturing is all about excluding companies this exclusion strategy is called divesting and despite the initial excitement it led to mixed results it is however according to a modern good political theory hurting your bottom line a little bit and you have to sacrifice some financial returns. Vestments remove entire sectors like energy into bacco from investors portfolios when a portfolio is less diversified its risk goes up. 5 the 1st of such funds for example has historically underperformed the market but big money is now betting that this will change. 2020 less its a c. E. O. s larry think the chairman of black rock the Worlds Largest fund manager came right out and said climate risk is investment risk. But i dont think there is a choice between plan and profit. To somebody actually metrics that youre scoring companies on you look at anything or is this really any s. G. Thing or is this just Good Business are you polluting are you wasting resources or wasting resources back to the bottom line or that bring it straight back into big business. Screening companies for the s. G. Criteria has proven an effective way to anticipate and avoid scandals capable of wiping out share prices for example in between yesterday mutual funds they had hotdogs while. For a long time because there were questions around the governance structure of the company. Disallowed those e s g phones to avoid the stock crash that followed resale values emissions cheating scandal. Of their cars with Cheating Software to make them. Green companies are also better prepared to face the growing threat of Climate Change. Because actors are reviving the appeal of green investment. Sustainable funds or attracting new assets at a record pace. The real question then is not whether Green Investments can make profits the question is whether they can be called green in the 1st place. This is a definition problem with got yesterday the lack of a Central Standard is an issue so company could in theory score very well on these. Rankings but on the other hand a very large negative effects on the environment. And even if a company is genuinely green buying its shares may not translate into creating an impact. d the theory of change behind Sustainable Investing is pretty straightforward the more fun Screen Companies receive the more they can pursue their sustainable goals. Vestments are unlikely to financially starve the fossil fuel industry for this strategy to be effective it must permanently reduce a companys ability to Access Capital when capital is divested this also creates an opportunity for other investors to buy shares at a lower price when this happens the stock price can quickly bounce back to its previous level without impacting the companys valuation ready ready. Its not enough it simply isnt because the effective tiny. Investments are not a magic formula. Very often what is advertised to sustainable is just. Greenwashing. Other cases impacts can be achieved only by sacrificing some profit. In investing in a highly profitable nongreen companies and then diverting the profit to environmental causes would be more effective. At similar calculations miss a more important point. It is tough to actually measure and. Your conscience is clean you dont profit from an activity. Many people simply no longer want to invest money at the expense of the environment and that alone is an important step forward. Now investor pressure is forcing companies to reconsider their Carbon Footprint one way if this is carbon credits that is by being for projects that reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions in other parts of the world in 20 the entry Carbon Offsets market was worth it to 5700000. 00 for maybe this opens up new business opportunities. This tropical rain forest has stood for millennia but human beings would need very little time to destroy it driven by the desire to make money. From. The work i was. Doing so no heart is heading out to his rain forest in borneo it covers an area twice the size of new york city. Hes bought the rights to the land from the indonesian government for the next 60 years on condition that he protects the forest. I always believe that the environment has their value just like treating it like a real estate i thought that owning a. Forest you know it can have a better appreciation on value compared to Real Estate Companies pay had to protect the forest like volkswagen the Worlds Largest automaker buys carbon credits from her trying to compensate for the emissions put out by its cars neither she nor v. W. Are willing to say how much they cost per tonne a says discussing prices openly would be damaging to business critics of the trade in Carbon Emissions say it allows companies to greenwash their image even as they continue to contribute to Global Warming we always said that going to grow up lets try to protect the rainforest but the reality is the past 20 years all the rain forests are pretty much gone and certain countries is because we believe that you know research into other uses assess all moyle paper for human fuel for humanity needs but i think. Saying that you can still protect the rain forests and make money for the company and also giving benefit the communities while protecting the environment then that should be a new model going forward. Just a few kilometers outside the protected sound the rain forest has disappeared here wildfires tore through the area after a prolonged period of heat but many times its International Companies who clear the forest in order to sell timber to gain grazing land for cattle or to set up palm oil plantations. In his area hard tonneau has set up the cutting government tie a project to show others how the forest can be used to make money without destroying it in the process. He says the money from Carbon Emissions trading can help with that. Hard tonneau has invested in initiatives like this school which provides instruction on how to climb a coconut tree for example. Many of the people who have now gained jobs through hard time know previously earned their living selling temper now theyre learning how to extract sugar from the sap of the coconut tree financed by companies in europe. With the. Coconut tree for the 1st time i was scared. But slowly the fear disappeared. And now i want to climb 20 coconut trees a day. Or you have to cut wood in the forest for a living. The work was dangerous i only did it for my family. Needed the money and. Investing in people and the local community is the goal but its not the only goal projects like this are good for his customers image cars made by a company thats investing in people and helping to preserve the rainforest are likely to sell better. But when hard 1st started out it was by no means clear that a Big Corporation like b w would be interested in a small project in borneo. We finally make profit we actually start having sales to. Have 0 revenue. We just have to believe in the concept. Isnt claiming that his emissions trading project will fundamentally change how we manage and preserve our natural resources. Back when he started Climate Change wasnt receiving the attention it is today. The concept of Carbon Trading was still in its infancy. Partow took a risk starting out small but with a vision. And for him its paying off. For much of the economy. But that often has a negative impact on the. Economists believe believes the b. Should be looking at the value of each other and how we can work with the natural to build a sustainable economy. Weve created our economy on the model of the hamster no we are not a hands growing doubling in size every need but every few years or whatever. The model of the economy has to be what is the economic equivalent of a caterpillar running into a few but the thing is a lot of life youve got to look to nature to understand what kind of economy work and what an economy. We are in the kind of economy and the measurements of a clearly thats what. The problem is that the only element of value that we are measuring in g. D. P. Is produced goods and services which are out of it and thats. Theres a whole lot of other stuff thats happening. The value of the base pollination is more than 150000000000 euros. Thats about 110th of the global agricultural output. But of course these never send you any invites me to have delivered a lot of value into the human Economic System not measuring these values. Todays growth is destroying nature it should strengthen social fabric its going womens health. Care is destroying public while its trying to create private wealth and the head of it says no law which says dont do that. Why would you and i want to this. The of one of the key elements of being economy is that it was the creation of systems which deliver less environmental damage. Things like Sustainable Agriculture which uses more labor is actually rewarding Sustainable Agriculture also reduces from a change in uses water usage uses pollution increases. Land base vatican city and strong. And it would result in growth but a different kind of growth is. Green growth. Green growth is definitely something to aspire to but not always something to live up to 12 history human settlements have eaten into the habitats of other living beings its no different in northern be hard. On the brink of extinction locals are now coming together to try and protect the regions fishing crocodiles. Even as hatchlings very easy to recognize with a long thin snout weighing up to 1000 kilograms as the guardiola as one of indias rarest animals its population has declined by around 98 percent since the 1940 s. Some youve seen her conservationist at the violet trust of india has studied these reptiles for years but not somebody. In milk or the other there is a big board like structure on the snout on the people of the snout which is called color so it is different from the other 2 indians found in india and other groups or deviance they conflict with human being but doesnt have any contact with human being. Himalayan tributary of the ganges the gun duck descends into the indian plains at val making a girl from the 4 years it was impossible to monitor and research the habitat and population of the carriers because social unrest in the region held scientists back. Around 2007 after the situation relaxed a study showed that only 200. 00 surviving koreas demain in its entire distribution range prompting the i. U. C. N. To recognize the species as critically endangered. Many places fives and local people there. So these are the reasons behind declining populace and that even the most important reason is it was an off sandbanks the definition of the area where they nest. And it affects the populous. A dam is causing the erosion of the banks each time the gates are open the stored water flows into the river causing a fast current the w. T. R. Team is trying to coordinate with the authorities to regulate the release of water at least during the breeding time. But other work also has to be done already outs are considered relatively harmless they eat only fish once found in the region from pakistan to myanmar now they are only found in India Bangladesh and maybe w. T. R. Knows Community Involvement is essential in protecting them. Local fishermen here monitor the reptiles and their nests. Yeah the subject of negley an amount they are on be there canelo we were asked to check on nests and for never be sport anything we call the environmentalists and inform he said to keep looking and all new findings. For the year there were over the phone. Once the nest is identified it is shifted from the river bank to a safer area guardiola eggs typically take about 70 days to incubate the fisherman keep an eye on the air until the baby carriers hatch and reach the water. In 2014 the w. T. I released satellite packed areas which are still in these waters now which is about preserving their habitat. Plan. For last year we moved a proposal in the state board for wildlife to notify a critical area of about 10140 kilometers of the river as are on the recent is a means giving it a status of a protected area if you give it the status of one the reason is that it will involve locals in quandaries and plus there wont be any Land Use Change in that he was the banks so it is going to be a good estate it is going to be a long term called the reason for activity in the recent acts and for that they have population in the going to revert to conservation efforts are helping the species to bounce back to do these deep waters who are one of the largest populations of cardiology again but balancing the needs of the local people with the requirements of graveyards and other via life will be a long term challenge. Now i will admit that the systems we have created as a species make it very difficult to choose them solving the involvement will making more money for many of us but even the smallest conscious choices we make like using a reusable coffee mug amending a leaky tap when orientals mordor more towards mending the imbalance i will leave you with that cotton see you next week please stay safe and dig good care of yourself and your loved ones go back.
