Coming to you from mumbai in india. Ahead of the show lets look at how a nonprofit demi is spearheading green action among the citys residents if a poor game can get to be more involved mentally conscious and how a german Animal Welfare charity is attempting to change mindsets in tribal tradition. 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 Capital of fortis with the less dense canopy this means delhi 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. Delis colorful and attractive around 19000000 people live the stock to stick it in 1000 more people 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. That is something the team behind the internet blog means knows only too well the game hardly any supporters for the Environmental Campaign for the river so they have to come of the solution according to the greens found gold and sing. Moonlight the city doesnt have a state where they are now and then used to sing in state corner cases and offer a lot of discussions. Were going to project back to the urban Design Project and the object of this when you go to the project is through big people who are living in the me for 203040 years and big name one of them experience showed them the systems i was in that supported them and can run them and transform them into. The biodiversity park is one of the biggest attractions of delhis i could to approach it in campuses about 10000 hectares. For young. Scientists suppose watches the fall when he started his work here in the land along the human other banks was about these events and he simply somebody asked me that. During election and actually in many fistula no Political Party has built 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 it would miller that you need. You need to leave the dolphins should be jumping you need a very bad. There are 72 piece of doctors you need even a lot of baggage to bush you never asked so this is a please with it people like goldman bring a lot of students and other people from the society they get to the Police Questions 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 release many many questions and i could down. The delhi grief. Found it going to be years ago it all started with a blog to this day go and singalong it and it whenever he comes across an environmental problem. In the 1st blog post 1st published in march 2007 and then it will be published on interesting stories you dont gather momentum its actually remember there was a. Segment that had been spotted so there was a friend of ours who responded and then a senior professor and he shared the photograph of us already and then immediately asked permission and posted in the blog saying no common palm civet spotted in any and then when i was department of our scripts are picked up and found a snake and this for information and for the fact that you know how the park was being really sure that photographing us and we immediately to get permission and then publish it on the blog saying look this is what its all about its not just you know and its also got to buy that its not just people its all to having biodiversity and i. Love to become a campaign by page for an Environmental Action the reason go and sing or observe some things on his way home one day that he did not like it. 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 they were also numbered in any brutal manner so this marked the old back had been scraped off and a number had been written on all the trees each tree had a unique number of balls so we went through various. Office is only interested to find out whats happening and then somebody said we dont know whos done this. It is a given knowledge and im going through them from if. So then if theyre going down you know theyre probably be fair and then even do fine on the bridge is the biggest number in front of 1000. Instructors and probably one polling things that about me in a university would think well i dont want. To blog about that in the appropriate making of the trees and the plans to cut them down arose other peoples interest thats how the universities management found out and hold the plans to cut down the trees. Daily greens and the luck to have now made a name for themselves as experts today they visit a garbage dump in about an average drive away from the City Center Residents complained to the organization about the dump it suspected that the dump is illegal and that the people who live in the neighborhood at risk of developing health problems. Trying to recycle. Struction to. Get the film. The good solution that if it goes for the problem but we were concerned about is the way theyre handling it because the amount of dust that is there. For the people who are living nearby and even the process by. Which. Action one of the vets and information channel about Environmental Issues like delhi greens has read as throughout india. Already about 1200 people have taken part in. The delhi youth summit on Climate Change and the campaign to promote segregation projects. Is called and used like the one oriental apartments in North West Delhis rohini district where new war materials are created from recycled waste. Are always on the lookout for those initiatives which work for effective Risk Management and once i finish. The woman we heard that there was one company. And is now. And has. Oriental apartments. Music for. Delhi greens is a Nonprofit Organization financed by donations and the revenues from its workshops. With the funding that in my mind the lack of its tried to make delhi a little bit more livable. Now regularly ecosystems like the ones in the biodiversity has a variety of plants and animals take for example the red crested the large duck breeds in Southern Europe and central asia and makes its way all the way to delhi for the winter but what makes the wetlands saw attractive this explainer will help you answer that question. Is spread over a combined area of 12100000 square kilometers from the finals to the far south there is an ecosystem that is richer than even rain forests wetlands. They support at least 100000 species of animal. What makes when it lands the most productive among all the ecosystems on the planet. To appreciate why that is its important to 1st understand what makes a wetland. First slate can. When you are saturation by surface or ground water for most of the year secondly characteristic vegetation with a quite it 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 might many animals there to reproduce wetlands provide great volumes of food especially for 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 wetland patties is the staple diet of nearly 3000000000 people what is worrying is that the world may have lost as much as 87 percent of its wetlands 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 meets land brings benefits for all for the environment and the economy. Now what if of your life situation gave you the option to save or to take any of that environmentally conscious decision while various lobbies are working against you to prevent that from happening well a fascinating can give you that expedience keep as its core challenge to strike a balance between protecting the environment and pursuing your interests. This game is about Climate Change and the politics involved players build factories or eco friendly green 11. 00 roll of the dice can ruin a players economy it all depends on a car 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 a. While if you have so green growth card you need to produce green growth. When 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. Close 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 policy is whats going on its like a game. And as in the real world this game pits different players against each other. And changes and serious issue but being afraid of it its not the solution we need 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. Listen i need your dame all the noise again is there a medium that allows us to learn about new subjects. Picked 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 bad news hosting berlins on your Science Institute open night 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 enthusiasm from all over the world in english or in 4 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. So maybe there is very Different Things in reality players also have to factor in rising temperatures just like in reality green factories are black the 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 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 time that we also need to have political change going on we need to engage and cooperate globally to 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.

An hours drive away in the mountains the scene of a landslide one of many theres widespread deforestation here there arent enough trees left to stabilise 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. The nearest large town to just rami is cup of us 2 siddhartha gautama grew up nearby he later became known as the border the enlightened one he taught that people are responsible for themselves now you are allowed to ask for help.
