First lets head to delhi a city which has become synonymous with toxic air pollution the Capital Cities green cover however is only increasing even if its only the open forest category of fortis with a less dense canopy this means that he continues to be one who would rich biodiversity or flora and fauna one Nonprofit Organization in the city is making sure its residents are well acquainted with the natural treasures that he holds. Belize colorful and the drug around 19000000 people who live here he stops to give him 1000 more people who come here every day from all over the world delhi has the highest proportion of migrants of all indian cities but the sense of p. C. s and connection to ones new in one seems to grow slowly. And that is something the team be high. Internet blog means knows only too well the game hardly any supporters for the Environmental Campaign for the young. So they have to come of this solution according to barry greens found go with saying. New life the city doesnt have a state or you know and then its missing in states or the places and offer a lot of discussions we. Put together a Company Project actually called the urban eco tourism project and the object of this when you go to the project is to think people who are living in delhi for 203040 years and dig them one when you could do them experience showed them the very systems i was in that supported them and convert them and transform them into citizens of. The biodiversity park is one of the biggest attractions of that hes going to approach it in campuses about 10000. 00 hectares. For young. Scientist support why does the ball when he started his work here in the land along the banks was bad. He simply somebody asked me that. During election and actually in many fist oh no Political Party has put the environment as a priority you have asked broader or your boss hospital you have asked Metro Government has given you everything but you have not miller that you need with blue water you need a dolphin should be jumping you need even a bit there are 72 piece of doctors you need even a lot of maggoty birds you never asked so this part is a please with if you pull leg open brings a lot of students and other people from the society and they get to learn how to be squeezed how to frame questions how to design a question because question becomes very important your life and in the scientific world also when you design an experiment you raise many many questions and write it down. The deli. Found it going to be years ago it all started with the blog to this day go and singalong it whenever he comes across the environmental problem. In the 1st blog post 1st published in march 2007 and then it will be published on interesting studies you know got the momentum its extra i remember there was a. Segment that had been spotted in january so there was a friend of us who responded in the scene a professor and he shared the photograph and i so many and then immediately asked permission and posted in the blog saying no comment bombs have exploded in any and then im going to buy it i was going to fast. Sneak. This information in for you in the fact that you know how the park was being really showed the photograph in us and we immediately get permission and then publish it on the wrong thing and this is what it is all about its not just you know and its also about is by those not just people its all to having biodiversity and i. Love to become a campaign by page for an Environmental Action the reason google single observed some things on his way home that he did not like it on. One fine day we were walking back to university from the field and we found out all the trees in the university had been numbered and the limit also numbered in any brutal manner so this mock the old bark had been scraped off and a number had been written on all the trees each tree had a unique number of cars so we went to various offices of the industry to find out whats happening and then somebody said we dont know whos done this. It is a given knowledge the number 3 of them probably fell a minute or so then we figured that you know they probably failed and then even to find out which is the biggest number in front of 1000 so its a shock theres a probably 1000. 00 things that about me fail in the university to be called on. The blog about in the appropriate making of the trees and the plans to cut them down around other peoples. Thats how the universitys management found out and halted the plans to cut down the trees. Deli greens and wine and the luck to have now made a name for themselves as experts today they visit the garbage dump in about an average drive away from the City Center Residents complained to the organization about the down its suspected that the dump is illegal and that the people who live in the neighborhood at risk of developing health problems. Trying to recycle. The problem but we were concerned about is the way theyre handling it because the amount of dust it is there. For the people who are living in the boston. To action one of the vets and information channel about Environmental Issues dirty greens has read as throughout india. Already about 1200 people have taken part in. The delhi you comment on Climate Change and the campaign to promote segregation in projects. As you know was called and used like the one oriental apartment in north east is broken in a district where new role materials are created from recycled waste. Im always on the lookout for those initiatives which work for the effect of mismanagement and one such a mission of the phone. To the woman we heard that there was this one company which i said ive been to any and is now an. Oriental apartments so music from. Delhi greens is a. Nonprofit organization financed by donations and the very news from its workshops. With the funding the. Drive to make a little bit more livable every day. Now regularly go systems like the ones in the biodiversity park has a word writing of plants and animals big for example the red crested the large duck breeds in somebody europe and central asia and makes its way all the way to delhi for the winter but what makes the wetlands saw attractive this experience will help you answer that question. Is spread over a combined area of 12100000 square kilometers from the far north to the far south there is an eco system that is richer than even rain forests wetlands. They support at least 100000 species of animal. What makes wetlands the most productive among all the ecosystems on the planet. To appreciate why that is its important to 1st understand what makes a wetland. Firstly continuous saturation by surface or ground water for most of the year secondly characteristic vegetation with a question of plants thirdly a unique type of substrate known as heidrick soil. It is the sponge like ability of the wetland to withstand Different Levels of water that makes it more productive than other ecosystems the physical properties of heidrick soil enable it to absorb a higher proportion of nutrients that makes wetlands home to many rare and endangered species of terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals that are found in no other ecosystem. There is also a natural flow through and filtration system of nutrients a characteristic unique to wetlands. Its these properties that help called grass in a salt marsh for instance to produce more plant material and store more energy per acre than any agricultural crop. Healthy wetlands are crucial to all wildlife and humans throughout the world many birds use wetlands as a pit stop in their Long Distance migration many animals there to reproduce what plants provide great volumes of food especially the species that form the base of the food where acting as natural water purifiers they absorb many pollutants in surface waters their ability to trap and retain water protects land against floods and the impact of storms of the 600000000 people are dependent on wetlands for fisheries and farming rice which is grown in. The staple diet of nearly 3000000000. 00 people what is worrying is that the world may have lost as much as 87 percent of its wetland since the years 1703 times the rate at which natural forests have been lost not only a wetlands a vital source of biodiversity they are also a source of livelihood for one out of 7 people on earth that means protecting all regions worldwide where water mates land brings benefits for all for the environment and the economy. Now whatever your life situation gave you the option to save or to take any of that environmentally conscious decision various lobbies are working against you to prevent that from happening a fascinating give you that experience. As its called challenges to strike a balance between protecting the environment and. Interests. This game is about Climate Change and the politics involved players build black factories or eco friendly green ones one role of the dice can ruin a. Players economy it all depends on a card and the Natural Disaster it represents. It was important for us to designs a game that you are doing the socially best thing we wanted to reproduce the real world tension so when you have the oil industry card in the beginning you need to play for the oil industry to win while if you have so green growth card you need to produce green growth. Where germanys climate politics are played out and where german scientists are continuing to develop the game keep cool to give players a peek into the world of climate policy. Clowes eisenach is an expert on the economics of Climate Change and one of the brains behind. The i was always a game into the just so i could see swings to bring it in if you look in the real world Climate Change policies whats going on its like a game. And as in the real world this game pits different players against each other. And it changes and serious issue but being afraid of it its not the solution to creativity to solve the problems we have and the game is one way. That can games really help us to combat issues like Climate Change and industry lobby the n c on their studies the Science Behind toys and games. He lives and i need young. Gamers or a medium that allows us to learn about new subjects. In the learning in part is in direct because the point is also to have fun. When we look at these games and play them theres an emotional involvement. So its possible that we take that experience with us into the real world. The humbled university is one of countless hosting balance on your Science Institute open. Right and events where researchers present their work new technologies experiments and games. Theres also a mobile version of keep cool. Students here play with climate enthusiastic from all over the world in english or in other languages. The mobile phone gives you control over how to develop your city. I think its a great simulation and it really shows you all the intricacies of different interest. Standing in the way of Climate Change this is just a game so maybe there is very Different Things in reality players also have to factor in rising temperatures just like in reality green factories or black choices that and our Climate Change is one of the big threats we have in the 21st century and be every huge urgency to deal with this problem and we have lost too much time already but i think we need to get the message that we need to do stuff individually that we need to change all behavior but its the same so if you also need to have political change going on we need to engage and cooperate globally in class and his team have funding to take their game to the next level they just hope it can inspire players globally to make a change in the real world. Shifting focus now poverty illiteracy a lack of awareness and an absence of better know the services for farmers in indias eastern state of it into their animal.

The play was written by participants in a workshop on Sustainable Farming and the children contributed some ideas of their own. Then we have to protect the forest they say by growing plants that are good for the soil then we cause less damage. And i was drive away in the mountains the scene of a landslide one of many theres widespread deforestation here there arent enough trees left to stabilize the soil with their roots. Theyve been replaced by corn to grow corn you have to plow the fields but that loosens the soil which can then easily slip downhill.

If. Theyre still growing corn but now they also grow spices like ginger which dont require plowing that reduces the risk of soil erosion. The seeds are planted on the surface and covered with a little hay being ginger the farmers hope to earn good money with their new crops one advantage is that these plants should be able to withstand the expected changes to the climate. We can see that the climate is changing the rain has become less reliable. But ginger yams and turmeric grow even when theres not much rain where. The big day has arrived for our young property is. But 1st more talks about what he learned at the workshop. Tells the audience how the new kinds of plants can help prevent landslides. At least half the villages come for the event including my about johnny. Carson ganesh introduces the puppet play. At the monkey complains about the destruction of the forest and the young girl in the cow explain how women can protect the soil with Sustainable Farming. A serious message. Conveyed. That i didnt know you could also use. A neighbor knows more about it. Perhaps well try it. Then the workshop participants sing a song they wrote themselves to inspire enthusiasm to pursue the changes that are so urgently needed to ensure that people can live here in safety. I hope you enjoyed that story and. Well be back with many more stories next week until that. Is quite as simple as it seeks. To understand the world better we need to take a closer look. At our.
