Bring new rules and watch our boards and how flamingos in spain are driving change towards sustainable tourism. Bought 1st to a story that needs urgent attention then he is largest or a boy is in danger of these so it shows that there is a nearly nor bizarre doxygen in the river the biggest parameter to sustain life in order to vote ecosystem for several years the government has a younger not action plan in place but not much has changed at the crossroads the task of caring for the river has fallen upon a few unless you released because who live on its back lets go to the study. Every day at the crack of dawn 20 year old money shot of mom reduced to the river not knowing what she might bump into. How did she clothes human feces sewage youll find just about everything on this water the yemen is full of garbage people pack stuff and bags and just dump it in the river. Is part of assignment im assuming army of informal waste because who live on the banks of the river and work towards cleaning it on officially. You know poured into every time we run out of plastic bags from the river when you feel proud that were able to and are capable of cleaning the yamana. It makes us feel good and in the process we also earn our livelihoods. As its respectfully called by millions of divinities is considered one of indias holiest rivers. The amount of the go to the waters of the yemeni jihad can cure any disease and working in bathing in these waters for the last 2 years and ive never faced any edging or any skin problems. Not going to call you on my skin but off. It so how many people forget that its also the countrys most polluted river. The river today no longer everybody just gets their dream. That is almost no fresh water theres no money in life in the river if you dont break up now i dont know when well break up and maybe that one thought we make you wake up that this is our Drinking Water supply what we put in the eye when i hear my tragic. What micro boards are great drinks for what is a cunt in this system what we differ when we defile it somebody downstream is going to pay the price for it and this is going to god thought this is not something we can defer that dime of action is gone we have gone through so many action plans we have heard so much talk we need action right now and i think there is just nor question about the urgency of the matter. The problem begins when the river flows downstream from was in about bear out in the north of the city. More than 70 percent of the total pollution is injected into this 30 kilometer stretch that follow. The plan to clean the 1400 kilometer long yamana has been in place since 1993. But solid waste she which and industrial effluents flow into the river unchecked even today. Ive tried telling people not to letter but they dont listen i remember asking someone why they were dumping plastic into the river and they turned around and said hey if the government doesnt stop us who are you to say anything so i stop saying anything. Out of the. Informal Waste Pickers like help recycle about 20 to 25 percent of the sun and waste daily generate. I mean you get there i guess what im saying is dont litter and have the. If you bring plastic keep it aside and well collect it you dont need to throw it into the water if we keep the clean it will only be a good thing for the river so. The government only cleans the river during the floods. They still havent been able to come up with a solution for the river. There was a cleanup effort some time back. If you pokemon t. Shirts with the word yamana written on them they picked up a few plastic bags then they left a must have gotten tired of the order came out it. Even though their work is only informal the way speakers are responsible for tons of plastic and other solid waste to to manually remove from the river every day the sift through toxic garbage to separate it into resale of the light and such as plastics and metal and sell it to waste merchants who found the recycle it to earn less than 2. 00 a day but continue to strive to clean the honey river. Novels of oh yeah. If a young man is cleaned up we may lose our livelihood but thats ok. Well find Something Else to turn out this is our duty as we treat this as our job. We feel good and happy that were doing this work what. Were happy that youre going to g. Has given us this opportunity to clean it up we could do better jobs if we wanted but were happy doing this already because of the. 70 percent of delhis water needs are met by the yamana yet government inaction and rampant dumping have created a vicious cycle thats difficult to break while the city waits patiently for mindsets to shift its waste because like many sharma who were bringing about a small yet significant change every single day. Now with constant exploitation what are we will become the most expensive resource in the coming years as scientists predict another indian city is already experiencing this all the past 2 decades bigloo has grown into a global pickup its indias still. But its massive open sprawl has not come without problems and there are many who now feel that the city will soon run out before to put traditional will begin techniques come to the rescue thats why. Bangalore indias silicon valley. A high flying i. T. Hub for multinational corporations located on the citys outer edges. But bangalore is also home to severe water issues polluted lakes that froth over with toxic foam made up of chemicals and raw sewage and unchecked tech driven urban growth that has left many off the citys water grid. Among those affected is saddam rama krishna hes a successful i. T. Professional with his own company. But his apartment complex gets no piped water its a problem faced by many in bangalores tech community. To fight them says their patience with civic authorities is wearing then when the expectation was definitely. Connection. Many in bangalore are now reliant on private tankers. Which get their supply from bore wells as deep as 1500 feet the practice is depleting the local water reserves. Leaving many worried the city could soon run out of the resource altogether. But conservation is vishwanath believes the situation is not so dire hes been studying bangalores water for over 30 years and says the crisis has been blown out of proportion because of its effect on the i t community these are the people with the longest and sometimes there was this distort the problem definition and sell it to the resources when you go its not so equally as the issue and i look asian is the issue which would come with infrastructure. Like bees are built and maintained by traditional well diggers like ramakrishna who lives in a village outside the city. Ramakrishna is a 4th generation well digger and his community is local know how it is centuries old he believes it can be used to help tackle the citys modern day problems. Earlier we used to get all our water from open wells people forgot about them but now theyre becoming more aware and think we should use. The correct we keep using bore wells the city will run out of water. Alongside Water Conservation is ramakrishna is now involved in a campaign to recharge the citys wealth it would replenish shallow groundwater aquifers with rainwater the process is more environmentally friendly than joining bore wells deep into the ground and the campaign aims to have a 1000000 functional open wells by the time its done and im a christian and the community he belongs to represent a more sustainable approach to Water Conservation and if bangalore draws upon their traditional expertise it might just dam its water crisis before the taps run dry. 97 percent of the planet is covered by water and the telcos often measured by the floor and 4 now that live in it one of the oil best fish species in the world the sturgeon is critically endangered but project wonder fish is making sure they have a new lease on life. People in germany are bringing back a living fossil. The sturgeon is one of the oldest fish species in the world. Its existed for 200000000 years. Bought 40 years ago the sturgeon population in germany died out. One of the reasons was river pollution also the fish need to migrate to feed and spawn. The rebuilt wares and dams made their journey impossible. The project funded fish aims to return the studs into german rivers the 1st step is to breed fish on the controlled conditions. When theyre released into reverse with the aid of schoolchildren. Once theyre released the sturgeon migrate to the sea. The hope is that the fish will return to reproduce in about 15 years. In the meantime fish ladders will be built to help the fish swim past we as an example. Do you like them. If you are also doing your book tell us about. Visit our website or send us a tweet. Doing your bit sharing your story. Starting to get up to 60 and bob with kharkiv affected by geography the next story is about to head up the logging and hafiz bombastic Noise Pollution in mumbai the city has a huge traffic problem and noise levels unmistakably live beyond the political 55 decibels block. That is something that. Officially the noisiest city in the country to the sense that the Global Economy is clearly one of the noisiest countries in the world. That various correlations between noise and healthy. Blood pressure Heart Disease loss of productive it lack of sleep related ailments one was also very densely packed so one person making noise can actually the still hundreds of. All you can power people depending on the location. It started as volunteer work on Noise Pollution but over the last 2 decades it has turned into a crusade for so made up to. Today shes perhaps the biggest champion against Noise Pollution in the city. It all began in 2002 with the finding a Public Interest due to geisha in the bombay high court. A year later the 1st court order banning loudspeakers inside and zones was passed marking the beginning of what has been a long but deeply revolting judie. People started calling me one flea press reported it and published my number that people started calling me im the kind of emotion that. Crying on the phone. Even if you cant help us just the fact that youre listening to us is enough for us thats what i think was being nice to. Papers through samanthas efforts in our own capacity as well as 2 of Us Foundation that Noise Pollution started getting the kind of attention youd had already. But it wasnt an easy job for the norm activist. The 1st thing that we realized was that i realized was that there was no data so there were noise rules with specified discipline of those which had to be maintained but nobody knew what the decibel levels actually were until the very 1st day in fact said that no i should pick out the degrees no new level because there was no real point to find it so i realized that i have to get it bit them myself and i was lucky someone donated annoys me to the i think thats me and i i just did it myself now with the advent of technology everybody every person can have a decibel meter on their phone its a free app. On my clothes are using this via. Using. Readings on their form. Of Us Foundations Noise Pollution campaigns have found support from mumbai cause and are now in fact spreading to other cities in the country. As the foundation is an unfunded n. G. O. S so mad. Asks people to contribute their own resources to make this city a better place to be even how painstaking efforts over the past 2 decades perhaps find to be paid off. I was very what it because ive been here doing it my so does but i found that everybody stepped up. Nothing suffered the noise beatings went on those who showed up and fact the government also did more mall than usual they did their duty the good news did a good job there were numerous complaints from citizens and nothing so folks im really very happy because that means that its no longer dependent on me as an individual it is actually a peoples movement. Love despite being sucked. The grief problem abdul ali is one of the handful of people who works on solving the problem of Noise Pollution lets look at the story of another citizen of mumbai whos made it his mission to take the citys young and old closer to its rich Marine Biodiversity and of course their armies. Who would expect to reach biodiversity off the coast of mumbai. Clare deep are tired he 1st became aware of it while doing his regular work teaching watersports nowadays he documents and helps conserve the richmond real life that thrives along the citys coastline. In recent years hes photographed more than 250. 00 species including the tube. The 5th a crab the sunset shell and a blue button jellyfish. Isnt really. A monk he also conducts shore walks during late chide helping raise awareness and sensitized people. More here is lake popular a thing in life i dont know ok more people walk on the beach and if they see and if they find such a day with my plate i dont wait very definitely not to. Start respecting or sure nobody knows i mean people think i mean all beaches are dirty. And oil fields comes in go. Even though i mean we have reached modern day with you so this idea is if people see that organ only they can understand the kind of life. I dont and that life. So the conservation will happen there too medically. To beaches of mumbai or home to some of the most polluted waters in the world but despite the filth the 167 kilometers of coastline are also a treasure trove of marine life waiting to be explored. Basically in. Abundant i mean you can see. All over the. Years been very common but is very common some shells i mean what is very common. These things that really common and believe you have seen. That jellyfish kind of thing washed ashore on the shore so the scenario you can see you know. Someone. And definitely. A scorpion fish so thats thats. By documenting what he finds hes drawing attention to Waste Disposal and environmental violations. Were planning to document these things then definitely young scientists. Approach explored before. Definitely come forward and do some more studies i dont. Heres what can preserve mumbais beaches from funk the loss of biodiversity. Loss getting up close with nature is essential to understanding the value of its many parts and protect them even more even in spain is using flamingos which flock to its nature reserves each year to campaign for more sustainability and polish the party islands image but will this be detrimental lets take a look. Carefully and quietly john kind of approaches the flamingo watching from afar he doesnt want to stop all the bird flu. His passion. Flamingos are all looking highly unusual birds so its easy to get people interested in them even those who dont care about environmental protection. And. L. M. Is happy to see the birds flock to have beaches last salinas salt flats discounted hundreds of them already and their numbers have been on the rise in recent years thats good news for the Spanish Island but mass tourism is posing a danger to the birds. Has become too busy for them to bring up their young. Men april when the breeding season begins most adult birds fly away to reproduce. Because in spring flocks of tourists descend on a beach which has become known as the mediterranean for Number One Party destination as visitor numbers saw the environment pays the price and most holidaymakers couldnt care less a road leads straight through the says Salinas National Park to a highly popular beach which is teeming with visitors even in low season. To a stop to snap pictures of the exotic birds some even straight into the nature reserve. One and only one i dont know that they want but well thats the only way to get to really see these birds. Unfortunately thats how it is when you enter a nature reserve so that when all you enter to see the birds in their actual habitat to get is that im not and i can assume someone out there are going to say i thought. Feels this kind of behavior has to stop last salinas with the phoenicians began producing salt 2000 years ago has plenty of plankton and small crabs for flamingos to feed on its an ideal breeding ground for the birds says were it not for the tourists. And most of them simply dont know how to act appropriately in nature the park rangers could help but they dont exist here theres just not enough money even though the flamingos could help change the islands party image as the belaire rick islands Environmental Ministry hopes that way at before could become an eco tourism destination. Have come to stand for a Clean Environment and theyre apparently pulling in visitors about the birds are giving the party island a pizza a totally new image. But protecting these species is costly and limits mass tourism and palermo says the government is unwilling to risk that which he says is inconsistent this year many dead flamingos have been discovered across the island in a single month 21 dead birds were found. Several we dont know if the animals are examined to ascertain the cause of their death when theres all kinds of diseases not just conventional ones are being looked into we have no information on this. I almost think the government isnt taking this problem seriously with. The one of. The lamb thinks the problem is being swept under the rug he believes all the talk of sustainability is just an empty marketing ploy. It would also give them. Again i dont think theyll be a changing course so yes maybe theyre trying to attract other kinds of holiday makers but i think theyre not taking action against mass tourism and definitely doing nothing to stop the party tourism. Its all about the money to bringing to the island says. But perhaps a few main goes will succeed in attracting more environmentally conscious tourists. I hope you have many takeaways from to be a chill will bring you many more stories next week each one taking us one step closer to a Sustainable Future good bye and have a wonderful week.
