And how an artist is using the leaves the highlight the need for embodiment protection. But 1st lets stick to indias best and cards also called the countrys green gold the Mountain Green gen its ecosystem is one of the hotspots of biological diversity in the world but an increase in human Activity Division like mining has had this tremendous effect a conservation facility is not only helping ecologists and by life biologists to carry out long term monitoring in the region but also enticing toris to understand and appreciate the treasures of nature there we. Waged a big. In the tri stude boundaries of goa are not a crime our astra lies in incredibly rich biodiversity hotspot. Home to tigers leopards and scores of other threatened species. Its silence broken only by the constant hum of secada as. A region abundant not only in a vast diversity of life forms but one also rich in minerals a dangerous quality for forestry in as it makes it a huge draw for the mining industry.

You know if support. Will not. Support the local community. And. The beginning of. The resorts operates 2 facilities. And the company owns and protects about 700 acres of forest land in the western cards in keeping with the principle of minimal interference the results themselves take up only 3 acres on this sprawling property another 15 acres are used for nature trails the rest of the forest is strictly protected and only researchers are allowed access. The land also acts as a Wildlife Corridor connecting beam go to Wildlife Sanctuary in karnataka to mother the Wildlife Sanctuary and to Reserve Forest areas in maharashtra. And. Its unknown because we are doing a constant and regular camera trapping but almost 56 years now we know what is the time. When is the time when the females from that area come to. The resorts only employed local villagers who are then trained in various departments. Liked the way. The camera trap expert witold started here he knew nothing about species protection. They were the focus that are currently focused on and study camera trapping in birding birding involves spotting and identifying bugs and chemical trapping involves collecting data identifying the animal and taking its photographs. At last check the results support 120 families directly and more than 300 families indirectly in this region empowering communities has also meant questioning each old traditions and overthrowing entrenched prejudices. 15 years after it began operations struck back on the has not only protected by the forests but has also clubbed poaching provided livelihoods and saved the catchment areas of 2 important tributaries of the mother.

And water shortage but were losing these forest and can never be replaced and its too since in its true form. Water does not come from the tap it comes from the forest. This as soon as possible as many people understand is change this is what we need to tell people and this is what out of communities and our teams over here. Are being getting the people to tell them. Now the western guard still have all good forests which is one of the reasons why they had a biodiversity hotspot but this is a very in 28 of the world lost 3900000 hectares of all court forests and next explain how we help you understand what this number means. These seemingly impenetrable forests offers a glimpse of how wild environments can thrive when human interference is minimal. Theyre known as primary or old growth forests. So what are old growth forests and how many of them still exist today. A forest area is called old growth when it has remain unaffected by human activity for a long period of time. The oldest trees in these forests have been around for more than a 1000 years but the famous 10 in my u. T. Or lord of the forest which is new zealands biggest curry tree. Complex Natural Systems like water and carbon cycles are seen in old growth forests simply cannot be replicated elsewhere. These trees capture vast amounts of Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere according to scientists 30 to 70 percent more than other forests banters Global Carbon sinks by locking up carbon they play a pivotal role in combat in climate change. Old growth forests are an invaluable source of fresh water and aid in the retention of think organic soil. Today old growth forests make up about one 3rd of the worlds woodlands but only between 12 and 22 percent of those forests are protected. Once these forests are logged thank you net. The same way what replaces them are usually 2nd reforest. These younger regenerated counterparts fall short of delivering the full suite of benefits provided by the old growth forests. That include supporting their unique and endangered inhabitants. In that sense old growth forests or nonrenewable resource like fossil fuels. If we lose the last major blocks of all growth forests the consequences will be devastating for biodiversity across the planet. Now with more and more. Cities in india a closing in on what was once the home of white animals on the outskirts of mumbai for example sightings have become very common in germany too seems to be facing a similar issue with a population of wolves rising. Earlier this year estimates suggested that there are 73. 00 facts in the Country Farmers who are often the 1st responders in the conflicts with wolves with their cattle being taken out in the fix and looking to the government and environmentalists for some. Problems. It might seem strange to think of wolves in germany but there are an estimated 300. 00 just imprint in the state surrounding berlin they usually hunted dusk or at night silently and in packs and their number is growing. Famines are all too aware of the problem the wolves dont only hunt wild animals but also livestock out on the fields and that is taking its toll financially for brandon farmer you can friends on the walls of causing so much trouble hes worried about his livelihood. I think the wolves are getting smarter. We have a feeling that theyre going into the herd chasing them and separating from the. The last 30 cards last Year Compensation is only given if it can be proven that a wolf is to blame its tricky when the calfs just disappears or if its still born because the mother was under stress farmers a supposed to use fencing but thats expensive. The state authorities in brandenburg have responded to the farmers plight they have authorized hunters to shoot wolves if as on friends as farm they have repeatedly attacked livestock or a human being your animal conservationists are concerned stefan who has been observing a pack of wolves in his area for years and is convinced the situation isnt that dramatic as long as the wolf isnt lewd him with food it will avoid humans zoom of course it was here that you see these fresh wolf tracks only a few hours old in 9 years ive only seen 15 or 6 times theyre usually very shy way just observer magine. Moves a most commonly cited with the help of camera traps. Of the does the owner of the thing turn because he had the camera with its a black flash so he cant see it hes where it. Says walls should be allowed to live in brandenburg there is no need to authorize shooting them its just scaremongering. These train wonders this is an endangered species the few worlds we have are going to wildly multiply up to 30 percent a year ago i cant listen to this argument anymore we barely have 1000. 00 wolves in germany. The branch of the Hunting Association says that is still too many it says such a large predator has no place in an area where there are lots of farms it wants to see shooting quotas and more freedom to decide when a wolf is to be shot some hunters say just a single pack in any one area would be enough i. Think you are or one track is about 4 to 6 animals they can live sustainably or they can rear their young have a home its rare to everyone if you want to see more worlds go to the zoo. Getting everyone on the same page is going to be a challenge. But amid the bitter disputes between hunters farmers and Animal Rights groups is still quite hopeful that wolves do have a future in germany the reason we need to Work Together until its better of. Working with the Hunting Community like this is groundbreaking ford so you know that every time you just get resistance down the wall shoot them all. And i just shake my head. Walls were driven out of the country 150 years ago reintegration the animals in modern day germany despite the difficulties is a task only humans can do.

Technical draftsmen by trade he lives with his family in a village about 75 kilometers north east of madrid. Their house doubles as a gallery for his art a central theme is nature and peoples bond with it. Is especially drawn to working with the materials nature provides him. The perfect leaf doesnt exist. Leaves grow in nature and theyve undergone a process of evolution. But its precisely their imperfection that in my view makes them perfect. These works give little hint of the time effort and dedication thats gone into them. Their own presses the fresh leaves and lets them drive for a few days. Believes have to be dry enough that cats dont smear or discolor and yet most enough not to crumble. The image stencil is attached to the leaf with fixative then he carefully worked his way around with a scalpel cut by cut. And i was inspired when i watched a caterpillar getting its way through a leaf. Yeah but i gave me the idea to cut my own designs into leaves. Over time i learned more and more and developed my own technique meeting. Depending on the design it can take lorenzo did on several days to finish the cussing. The almost minutes to work. 13 years ago to run still worked in construction when he lost his job it hit him hard but then he discovered his artistic bent.

And the other stays in shade you know the theres a similarity there to us humans no one side of us is visible the other is not. A hard thing when i work on a leaf im in touch with a side of me that isnt visible. I suppose you could call it the subconscious mind so. Quite a few things became clear to me and my talent which id never recognized before came to light. Today lawrence a man who i didnt makes a living as an artist. His works up published in design Blogs International press magazines and books. His works also in demand with companies for green media campaigns leaves cleanse the air of Carbon Dioxide and produce oxygen making them an ideal symbol for a healthy environment put it on sustainability and green ethics of very important. Short i want to express is that human beings original bond with nature. Today weve lost that sense of connection. So not only if we humans manage to see ourselves as a part of nature that we can learn to respect our environment again.
