Never would have gone on the trip without you i would not have put myself and my parents attention to do with the what a beautifully at work. With you but even though i have Serious Problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there wasnt going to. Want to know their story. Or find remarkable information. Hello welcome to equal india a sustainability magazine which puts the focus on solutions to some of the most pressing problems affecting the world to be this week we connect you to change makers from india laos and germany people like you and i were the system people
their vision to see First Sustainable world some of that raghu coming to you from mumbai in india. Over the next thirty minutes find out how an illiterate woman in india is educating to community to build a new story lives why an activist in mumbai is holding a funeral for the citys trees. And why more beds in laos are going extinct. Lets was to look at an issue that forty percent of indias population has to deal with every morning the government has voiced toward the case for access to clean and functional toilets in the last few years but open definition is a complex problem in india tied to extreme poverty and cultural conditioning for the last three decades one woman is revolutionizing access to safe sanitation in the district of cardboard in the north of india. Its. In their. Children so its a Village People shall go to people i love with the zeal shes accompanied by many of those if you set your mind on something and theres nothing you cannot achieve. With the five youll still see these words with pride and confidence where. Shes been the driving force in. The street by going door to door to check if homes have functioning boyhoods and also. Could join the big and how we want peace she describes is in the help. I needed the used to live like. There was a tiny pond that everyone used to be for the dog goes everybody ended up going the because there was no way to go. There was a time when an old man very you went you would see feces in the open it was everywhere. A chance encounter with the look lean she would that works towards improving Hygiene Insanity from of communities was when the violence of change began to dawn. Fifty five. Mission lived thought deafening tools need to be dug one and the other. Two pipes would pass through each opening while one gets filled up the second one we get. Our fair one the kind of give our job at the door hard cattle get injured but. Never mind where they may go after all when i started talking to people about sanitation and they would see no good would ever come out of it despite going on strike for a full month Nothing Happened i was not even from want to friends would i be able to me. When i got here only i do them i could leave that responsibility to me i also assured them that i wouldnt be the slum the job was done thats when they agreed to stand by me but those were very challenging days where the. People were mostly ignorant of the women
hardly of the left. And the men were just not ready to listen the regard to my god were all an Accident Cannot go just about any day to avoid that why shouldnt we build and use our own toilets. This is the boy lit. And if this is the market at which the structure will set you know what i want you know that. He has built two thousand five hundred. Some with precedents pulling in money some with Government Grants and some with generous donations. We should consider ourselves lucky that we have the space you want to build toilets in cities dont even have that. In india more than five hundred Million People are forced to difficult because the lack of. Memory of mom. I believe that i can do in the hours that go
exist a lot of. What is for the prosperous while the other lives in what is it with. These other people who are forced to defecate in the open the biggest problem is that they live in support. Of it they have no legal rights which is why they dont invest in the police because there is a bunch can feel good hose is being demolished. When the government out there but then a couple of the. This lack of access to sanitation is a much more compounded problem for. More stuff will india and it will be in slums like roger. From bell to be company for Dawn In The Morning and navigate visited streets of the dog eat themselves. Saw the men find it much easier to relieve themselves in the open they dont feel issues well being shy or of feeling any shame but for women or young. Dogs who go to school the problem is much much bigger will. A Community Without toilets also faeces the long term consequences of poor hygiene and health. A fact is still the leading cause of its in india among children that then that many women. How many. Have been leaked where do they usually use whats uncertain sure its a menace programs but engines like show me the party that moved at the grassroots. Want on the road to secure. So why do you in. The film. No one ever thought there was a book are that they got there. We find innovative ways to explain to them how it flies Didnt Discord on film and then on our food thats when they realized that each time they difficult in the open and they risk falling sick any cut their budget. But Mchugh Hollyweird an american anywhere three hundred. Open the day her used saw. The moment there so there are a lot of children who passed on these lessons on to their parents who then end up listening to them. In your car even the grooves on the my sleep was scary traces of mind in them when i entered My House Dark Mode carries the dog right in for the good since she came to the city of cancun as a child right there still unable before calamity at fifty five shes now
a good boss on the beat to the next generation. If im a man i can come after will hear from my campaign on my own what kartik me when i started out in the initial years i used to cover my face with the sorry the woman i spoke to and try to mold to be used to tell me if you were covering your field how do you expect us to venture out of our houses or hunger any kind of buying it i remember telling them why wouldnt you be able to go out of your moses are men the only ones capable of making a difference tell me one passed in this world that was beyond the capacity of women. It sometimes takes only one individual determined and persistent to bring about big change now the city of mumbai has three and a half Million Trees each one essential to maintaining the fragile balance in this rapidly urbanising metropolis our next story is about zorro. You know and how hes
been fighting to save money by strays from being indiscriminately cut down. In the end city is busting it it seems because there are New Buildings that is more traffic we need more what does we need more Electricity Being need more to live on like the lord something does not for all that but do we not need more trees. I mean hes not part of the. Development of the city. Either not going to im noticing that more and more trees are dying along the way you would see the wooden ruins of for dead trees which would be to give the green trees i googled up the shrew and i saw the beams he had said that there was a bug every day make which was affecting these mean. And therefore the trees were dying and he said to go find the island i caught saying that this is the issue the
problem is very simple that once have been infected it needs to be cut and removed. To prevent infection from spreading to the degree next not in the moment they did that many bugs dogsledding and then please dont die any longer in mumbai as a mark modern modern world in which is that all over the city this does destruction of the government. Because. That is a fear which was made in Nine Hundred Seventy Five it says that on the side of every lord there must be governed board sides of every one of the War Department on top of the duties of the redevelopment are supposed to use their common sense and time see of that so this jihad thought it be any application which comes up of the three i thought if you give me the keys group names that can get me. Through this trees only need to be cut and if they find needed to be in need to be i presume ninety percent of the cases the. We just plainly sanction it and then the. Public
notice in the paper saying that theyll be proposed to cut so many trees at all so in some locations if there is something where we can object about then i take the time and trouble and the effort to object about it and. We had a car station there putting on your. Station so there is a plea coming the way its like a photo that we are going to let me off as i said that he is not coming the only problems its all these going got this to you for the the three is still something and yes but activity sometimes you need to go to my hope is in order to. Be should be cut but like i did before going away. To highlight this issue off and this week i being there for the mental we decided to hold a symbolic funeral where we actually got either three on our shoulders from the one
or the guardian we went past month period of in ferguson or the lord we got a lot of support a lot of people came out to shore that symbolic protest that this and you can get a feeling its not fair. Cutting back tree or cutting a Fifty Hundred year old just because you can cut it is a senseless act because nothing is going to be able to replicate that hundred year old even if i plan one hundred new duties it will not be equal to that one hundred year old tree. Now protecting the natural ecosystem is definitely the need of the hour there was a time when the black bear of the moon bit as its also called time to cross the ship today theyre ready to be found in the continent and are listed as a vulnerable species how did they get here i reporter travel to the top kongsi. In
the north the flowers to find out. Their. Food is absolutely crazy about strawberry jam. There. Are only four months old hes the youngest resident in the sanctuary the young bear was just getting bones when he was safe for illegal animal traders. In fact on yonge spend fattening him up since he arrived. Here besides Kung Fu Australian Ngo free the bears has managed to rescue three other cubs so far this year. Normally a young bear spend the first three years of their lives with their mothers but shes usually killed and the cubs are kept under awful conditions come from his brother died in captivity he probably starved to death the animals have
a really terrible time. And. This fully grown Asian Black Bear also called moon bear is almost two metres high standing and weighs in at One Hundred Fifty kilograms and cut the sanctuary they try to keep the animals under the most natural conditions possible. The bear refuge lies in the north of laos right next to a well known waterfall the nearby Tourist Attraction means a lot of visitors take advantage of the chance to also see the bears. Hardly any of the visitors can imagine the ordeal these poor animals have been through. Like colby who lost his right front leg after he was trapped by poachers in a snare. He was destined for an illegal bear farm. Risk was lost nicholson explains to the visitors that bear bile is used in chinese medicine. And it commands a high price i. Asked him tony cages lead to give him the best themselves live up to twenty years and saw those pages. Is expected to sit at the mains from the day using a syringe imagine going through that torment the frequency of every couple of days living on a subsistence of very very big rations of food. These pictures show up there bile farm near the lao capital v. M. Chan. The bears face is a portrait of pain. Nobody knows how many farms like this are in la its actually illegal in laos to treat animals like this but it is
all too often in Southeast Asia enforcement and punishment are totally inadequate. Luke nicholson says the greatest threat to animals is human poverty. You can find products from the illegal Wildlife Trade in almost every local market here theyre popular with chinese tourists. Thats a tale theres a been sold for fifty us felicity. We have a vehicle here. Right next to them la whiskey with animal parts preserved in them including bits of bear. The battle to protect animals and species happy one without environmental awareness. So poncy bear sanctuary regularly invites school classes. I. Allot of the kids dont even know that horses to bed thomas is
a resident in their forest and also a threatened species. I followed us hidden and ball so it bears can train their natural foraging instincts oh. The conservationists are supported by foreign donors. Thirty eight asian moon bears now live in the open here far too many. The reserve was only designed to take ten of them. But allowing these colossal creatures back into the wild would be too dangerous. For. This number of reasons why these babies cant return to the lot some have physical trauma some have psychological and some of the hand right for little cubs but theyve been rescued the bands that have been hand raised it imprinted on humans if
we would release them back to the wall that gets a direct link to a village looking for food and thats where we get human being. Conflict and thats when people invest. Today some monks have come from the nearby village of. A blast the conservationist work with the buddhist ritual the ceremony is supposed to bring luck to the workers there and fend off evil spirits free the bear certainly needs every bit of support it can get so that confluence and his friends can enjoy op Brighter Future in laos. Lets now shift focus to an innovation that could be a game changer for women in rural india a lack of Running Water and rural coombes often means that women have to travel long distances on fort to fetch water an American Company is trying to change that with a simple but significant tweak to the traditional water pitcher. Collecting
water is a challenge for millions of people. Wells are often far away from their homes. The job is done mainly by women and it can take half a day to collect all the water a family needs. Carrying heavy votes of twenty liters for hours on end can cause health problems. The whos who wheel is designed by the Us Organization of well its a rolling barrel with a handle and can hold forty five leases the force or the wheel costs twenty two things he done it was not only does it lies in womens loads the way real can also help businesses like small scale farms over outside restaurants. You like them. If you are doing your kids tell us about. Visit our website or send us a tweet. Doing your. Share your story. Can big data help us study the effects of changing ecology german ecologist stefan stall is trying to find out just that at one swap National Park in germany once the variables that identified the data can potentially be used to study how the National Park has evolved over many decades allowing us to study the good and the bad effects of Human Activity it has endured shows how hes breaking it down. These trees are being felled but for a good cause sunlight needs to reach the forest floor so that deciduous and can live for us woodland can grow here again the Conservation Zone in one fork was established three years ago the renamed to ration of the forest progress as
researchers will also be collecting extensive data on the local ecosystem a stream flows through the National Park the riverbed used to be completely overshadowed by the spruce trees explains hans joachim whos us from the park authority. The stream and the meadow will now be able to develop will gain a cli the mixed woodland thats already growing here will also evolve and light and warmth will restore the river valley to its natural state. Scientists at the nearby environmental Campus Bill Confess Collaborating on the Re Nature Ration project theyve set up probes and Measuring Stations around the forest the institute specializes in environmental i. T. Research and Teaching Staff on show is a water ecologist. This is a multi parameter probe we use it in the town back stream in the National Park eight different environmental parameters are measured in the water and these are
sent to the campus via Data Transfer the data is fed into a German Network that is part of a European Network that in turn is part of an International Network so what were doing is making Environmental Data available to help politicians make decisions and react as promptly as possible to environmental problems so. The environmental campus beer can fed brings together International Scientists from the field of i. T. Technology and the Environment Geo Informatics is a central focus of research here satellites are able to gather data on changes in the Global Environment the scientists goal is to make Data Collected from various sources more easily available to experts in africa and asia be a global Environmental Data network. Major advantage of Earth Observation data is that it provides us with comprehensive information unlike isolated Measuring Stations which can only compile selective data we can also get inside ravines and
look at forests on mountain tops that are usually inaccessible basically we can very efficiently get a comprehensive data and when necessary react accordingly. To problems such as Pest Infestations and over exploitation of the worlds forests these are problems that can be tackled tackling Climate Change on the other hand is more complicated. At the environmental campus kells and his team are working on developing models based on incoming data that can predict the environmental consequences of increased temperatures the scientists run through potential scenarios and experimental setups in order to measure the reactions of plants to environmental changes as the cause of faggoty want the main issue were addressing is the long term effect of Climate Change on ecosystems one approach is to replicate an artificial ecosystem and we can feed the Data Collected from the sensors in the National Park into this artificial world to see what it will be like you and your twenty thirty and how
temperatures affect plant growth and the whole ecosystem. Flounced off those consequences things the collaboration with the environmental campus has already paid off for the National Park theres more and more data on the Conservation Zone which eventually will be made available in real time to the park rangers by a smart phone. Were taking measures now and plan to follow that progress to see if the measures that make sense we have no specific expectations well just allow nature to run its course the data we gather will help us judge whether our Management Measures were successful or not the board minutes were lost on a four course. The project is a long term one renae to ration in the hunt for coal fired National Park will take years and its benefits will only become apparent in decades to come. You i hope you had many.
