A more sustainable real life at all around us today we introduce you to some people who have visited their lives who was making environmentally friendly choices hello welcome to eco india. Coming to you from my neighborhood in mumbai. India is the largest producer of milk in the world because of rising demand it goes without saying that the primary reason for raping a college this fall. But a fall in india which has more than 100 cars does not commercially produce a single drop of milk what may be your little bit bigger to make such a contrast in choice lets take a closer look. At. 28 because of lush farmland in the busy city of noida. Why organic farming is not uncommon even in the city this farm has taken things so bored. New level. Beach as it is called has built a community of farmers that is selfsustaining and practices natural farming methods with a focus on the well being of livestock. What makes this far more unique is its relationship to its family of cattle. Meat could edge a native of good without scotch. From the sindh region. This beauty is called red cindy. From time and. Especially suited for farming. Areas of indigenous cattle from across india this farm doubles up as an animal sanctuary. Cows and bulls have always been a part of agriculture but indigenous breeds are disappearing at a frightening rate tanks to the introduction of machines and the growing focus on dairy which prefers imported breeds to native ones because of the higher milk. Some indigenous populations are down to as little as 100 animals. Be john has a herd of 135 indigenous cattle of various breeds of which 40 are bulls. Striving to develop some of the malpractises in farming in india today. Which. I think everyone who knows how cool the dating industry is and when i got into this and when i started seeing how many beautiful indigenous cappie were there and how the history of us importing cattle from the west for this nuclear evolution and a lot of other things then the need to protect these. Kind of became very strong these beautiful indigenous cattle you know. On the farm and many of these are brought in cappy which dont actually give a lot of men. And i realize that these cattle are dying because our whole focus is on going up. To preserve these breeds logical the focus had to shift away from dairy. And so b. Jones dung whole project was born i delayed that up by then by the down in all gosh i lost and its going this and. A lot of dung lying around also means elisi it releases and you can get its not even going to the right is. That dung whole project promotes an economy around cow dung. Every day sometimes in 400 kilos i gathered to be converted into a video if he of products. Ensuring a 2nd income for farmers suitable were not there he says we make seed boards like these using seeds from big trees like the new. If you scatter them on empty fields before dreams they start growing. We also make images of the day it is done in a shell and looks me using dung and mud these are used during the valley and customers come here to buy them you know. The dung is also used as many 0 on the fields doing away with the need for chemical fertilizers. Youre up your mind to them he says when we came here the feel of a sandy we couldnt do anything without going over. Board and once we had enough stock of dung we started making natural menu and use it for the fields and it took us about 2 years of preparation time or now the soil has regained its natural for to lety and we are able to grow vegetables very well. Most of the plants are grown from heirloom seeds. The farmers use traditional systems of into cropping companion planting and crop rotation. All food is grown organically. The vegetables harvested here include bitter gourd squash and pumpkin. Be june produces its own solar power i miss off the grid. Its home to a Large Community of farmers from all over india. It runs its own school a clinic a womens group and has direct access to weekly markets. The womens new skills allow them to generate extra income. And the aim is to become completely selfsufficient. Is one such woman whose husband farms while she knits and stitches products that are sold to visit us at beach on. Mammy mocked she says now were mostly making mosques like this we make about 20 in a day and each 1. 00 costs 50. 00 rupees. It. Takes a sustainable approach to farming with a focus on caring for the land and the animals. Found. Farming journey nondairy heart will inspire others to follow. The world biking is becoming more doable not only is it training its also good for your help and the embodiment and if you do says well chances of getting infected 19 times but many of bikes often multiply audited by especially if youd move to the city or dont plan on staying for very long. We found some biking enthusiastic were preparing bikes for refugees and short of visitors to the. Chi wanya sifi repairs bikes for refugees here in berlin. He fled iran 4 years ago last year he started working at the hook invent a tailwind association. A bike is important for refugees. So it helps the model. Mean when you look for a bike online somebody cost 50 or 70 or 100 euros or 200 but i had to put in ground we accept a donation of 5 or 10 euros from a refugee from forward the senate well i got. Almost everyone who works here is a volunteer the bikes they repair all donated once theyve been fixed up they get to a few key. Only one yes the field has a paid job at the association and its partly financed by the National Volunteer service it all began 5 years ago when germany took in a large number of refugees the team not only want to help the new comers they also want to promote cycling as an environmentally friendly mode of transport and recital in old bikes is especially sustainable if you cannot we use everything if a bike can no longer be written and we take it apart and use the components for another bike you could see that from 2 broken old bikes we create one new usable one of the strongest and most of the team come from many parts of the world irishman graeme pope whos been helping out here for 2 years. One. Outside of the convince pope in some friends have set up a bike sharing Nonprofit Organization called bike surf it maintains a fleet of 25 people come for them for a small donation. Bike so if doesnt aim to compete with commercial bike rental firms uses mainly come from the sharing community. The idea that if you can couch surfing somewhere you can see there cheaply somewhere. You can find somewhere to stay or you can maybe find some cheap places there is a door for free. In might have free wifi then the next thing are getting around a big city like berlin is the obvious answer is to be on a bicycle its environmental its good for you good for your health. Pope says he hopes the idea catches on you cant currently borrow a bike in many other cities. You can book a bike bike online. And you can usually keep it for a few weeks or even longer. Look convinced meanwhile has a new project it wants to visit School Classes to talk about bikes and sustainability. We want to get children and teenagers interested in cycling again so they think its cool to ride a bike we want to show them how easy it can be to repair a bike we hope to get them so excited about biking that they dont even think of buying a car or even getting a drivers license but want to move about the city on wheels. Convinced says stuffing such a project with volunteers is difficult theyre looking for funding so they can hire and pay more people. But and it their bought of an unavoidable eternal cycle of nature be the all encompassing. Of the debilitating floods natural events destroy life yet at the same time create a base for new life conservationists are now studying a similar phenomenon in military Training Areas amid bombed out deputy army with was. Constant tank movements and artillery exercises make Nature Conservation at this Army Training ground a complicated affair before the ecologist start work the search Party Patrols the area to make sure there are no nasty explosive surprises lurking in the grass theyre always accompanied by munitions expert from the German Military or if they found a missile its location is marked down and laser bomb disposal experts will pick it up. You have to search carefully as we use everything from. Small 20 millimeter ammunition to large ordinance and explosives of course its much easier to find bombs that define small munitions and dont forget weve been using this troop Training Area for 80 years so you find all sorts of stuff here. Just those 80 years of Army Maneuvers have helped create a very landscape in bomb holder or grasslands with wild herbs as well as woodlands and brush all ideal for biodiversity. Is the funds are so valuable because theyre hard to find anywhere else theres no arable land so no pesticides no nutrients no fertilizers this is only for military maneuvers. The army has all the heavy equipment it needs to preserve the Natural Environment this Armored Vehicle is used to take care of open spaces to make sure they dont get overgrown it turns up shrubs and it flattens small trees. Germany has 1400 square kilometers of land for military drills the Environmental Group nabu commissioned a study and found something astonishing although there are pollutants like heavy metals and kerosene residue the sites are ecologically important. Lets finance was another situation in these areas is unique the exercises create a patchwork environment there are temporary changes what we ecologists call disturbances in areas where soil is removed there are pioneer sites where rare plants can grow as well as animal species you cant find in the regular landscape. Destruction by tanks and artillery creates new ecological niches says army ecologist bill 3 quarter. Pounds foreman tank trails and bomb craters where frogs and newts can spawn. Its extraordinary the damage we see here from tank trucks you only see this in military Training Areas is especially important for Nature Conservation this is not static environmental protection. Are constantly changing theyre also valuable areas not in regular use by the military where nature can evolve organically if not to live. In the area is used less often they deploy sheep several 1000 sheep graze all summer long of the military Training Ground so thats what makes sheep really useful is that they get into all the corners under the bush years into parts of the woods we cant reach a machine cant do that the sheeps footprints grazing on droppings at the turf into the state that nature needs. The sheep of spent numerous summers in the military zone and are well used to it so shepherd karlheinz can go. In there regularly generally whenever theyre shooting even heavy fire youd be amazed how fast they adapt if they do get frightened they huddled together one. Knows all their stories. Until just a few years ago this elephant worked in a nearby riding camp as the conservationist explains he had to carry tourists around every day if he didnt obey his trainer would pierce is thick skin with a ball the tie activist has been working to protect elephants for 25 years with her foundation she aims to improve the lives of the packet derms donations enable her to buy up animals whove suffered especially harsh treatment most of the elephants have spent decades being ridden or in showbiz but in childbirth elephant nature park they no longer have to work or be in chains paying guests are allowed to watch the elephants but nothing more. People come and visit they dont discover a friend they just want to be yours the money to come and become great skill more and more. Again and again like child learned has exposed animal abuse using a hidden camera for centuries Wild Elephants have been subjected to prolonged violent taming methods now there are laws in thailand that prohibit animal cruelty. But charlot says this has done little to change the taming practice known as elephant crushing. The tie every night now is the plan for them to do with the whole. There is a lot of the brush breeding everywhere. The baby out bravely you can see the blood when i walk. I have the will i have the totem pretend that i had ordered i dont care why i dont get that i dont get that from there. But up that come out of how i cry i cry with a lot of disappointed about human. I angry angry bit read the paper that is. That. Shes a lecture and her team are once again on a rescue mission. This time the conservationists will collect 7 elephants from this riding camp southwest of bangkok and bring them to the reserve near chain mind the camp owners themselves contacted chandlers foundation and asked for help as hardly any tourists are coming to ride the elephants to the coronavirus pandemic. An adult elephant is usually worth about 2000000. 00 baht or more than 50000. 00 euros but due to the pandemic the animals have become more of a burden for their owners. It cost them nearly a 1000. 00 euros a month for food and care. John apart kyra is happy to at least get 1000000. 00 baht per elephant from china its foundation. Our situation has been dire since the start of a pandemic that we had to close the camp from on the slope. But regardless of whether were open or closed we still have to take care of the elephants and we need to feed them every day. We were allowed to reopen on july 1st but there are simply no visitors. That might make it. The convoy sets off in the early afternoon. It wasnt love that little to keep. Feeling out of. It im hungry and no one. Even dividing the journey or kids. The next morning after a nearly 20 hour drive the convoy reaches its destination the elephant nature park north of chain mine is exhausted lecture i learned has hardly slept but nothing can dampen her mood. All the happy because the journey is spliced elephant angry so yeah. I feel believe. Once that restraining bars have been removed its time for the elephants to take their 1st cautious steps into a new life. One of. The newcomers will have to be isolated from the rest of the herd for 2 weeks in order to prevent the possible spread of disease by. The rescuers frees the animals from all their ropes and chains. So beautiful. Learned has. Vied it a new home for well over 100 elephants a home where theyre no longer forced to put on a show where they can simply be elephants.
