Imagine a world where we saw nature for what its worth. While we would recognize the life around us for more than just its beauty. Because almost half of the worlds economy, 44. 00 trillion dollars depends on Natural Services like pollinating, capturing carbon and purifying water. These are all valuable to our economy, but they arent valued in our economy. Nature like this is being left out of the equation. It is easy to tell when the living thing is valuable. Like with this tree, its actually huge. Its old and gorgeous. And since the one of berlins most beloved part, but its hard to translate that into a price. How much do you think this tree should be worth . More much money . No idea, no price, its in cost. Anything. Its a separate case. Several, definitely. Several. Most people have no idea how valuable living trees and why should that nature usually doesnt have a price until its dead. This is often a huge problem. Lets say youre logging Company Wants to come in and cut down these trees for timber. We know super well how much these trees cost once theyre caught. So we have 200 oak trees worth of timber on one side and basically huge question mark on the other. We dont know the cost of chopping down a forest or how much value weve lost. Thats because theres so much it play, forrester, unbelievably complex eco systems. One way to estimate the trees value is to add up what good it does with the environment. This websites in the us does just that we need to put in the diameter of the trunk where its located and what kind of tree it is. Ready if i dont know what kind of trade is, the value is calculated based on how much Carbon Dioxide the tree captures coming. Ok, how much storm water runoff it stops or you condition . Okay, it looks pretty excellent as well as how many pollutants like ozone and carbon monoxide, even though its in the air. Now we got to measure, i feel super weird doing this. Its estimating so estimating this tree, this here is where the 109. 00 over the next 20 years. Its worth 2207. 00. Dont seem like that much for such a beautiful tree. The values are really conservative, though, because theyre based on things like carbon pricing, wastewater treatment, pricing, and improved human health outcomes. So 200. 00 log trees would mean 454000. 00 in Ecosystem Services lost over the next 20 years. A lot of the cheese value isnt included in the calculation, so it isnt perfect, but it does put nature into the equation and it applies far beyond logging. Green economist like ralph shami, think pricing natures absolutely necessary in the fight against the climate change. Its not enough to sing songs about the way its in the gold has a st. Come by. Uh and right one more pull him about the way you let a team at the International Monetary fund to the 1st to put a price tag on a blue. Well, with the di and if youd spoke to a way to say, hey ralph, to stop crying about me, leave me alone. Go in peace maam. And by the way, you owe me money because im saving you, but i am f team valued, a blue. Well, a to 1000000. 00 based on his activities and the ocean that capture carpet. Well, soup at the surface and well, poop contains exactly what fido pointing me to grow. Fido clinton in turn produced at least half the worlds oxygen, noels no fido plankton, no oxygen waterway to repay the wells, and the other nature is using their price tied to know the benefit of conserving them. This is already happening in the form of carbon credits that individual their companies can buy to protect an area. Heres how it awesome goes. Lets say an island wants to profit from protecting it. See grass. Someones like ralph shami goes there and calculates a value from c grass. Similarly to how i calculated a value for that tree based on that value, a government or company sets up a carbon scheme through which those looking to offset their emissions can pay to conserve the sea. Grass and valuations are starting to include more aspects and just carbon in the future. We could also see credits based on how much bio diversity to see. Breast supports putting a price type on nature can also help underserved communities. Its estimated that indigenous communities manage nearly 1000000000. 00 half pairs of land globally and nearly 80 percent of the worlds about diversity that Living Nature and intact about diversity are worth money thats ignored in the global economy. The people who conserve them are working for free. One way to change that is to payment for Ecosystem Services. We are beeping and some of the most probably be stricken. And we should then remark decisive that we should be left alone believe that way because thats also not fair. Many to go on is kochenda. Igor, at a people indigenous to the philippines, shes working on ways to make Carbon Markets more equitable. Many Community Sites targeting and they need an update at the source of income instead of paying the Carbon Offset to a company or government. Payments are made to local communities, preserving their local eco systems. So hold on this all sounds pretty good, but theres one huge thing we havent talked about the idea. A putting a monetary value on a tree is just weird. Do you think we should put a price tag on nature . No, no, absolutely not. Its habitable. Have to. Theres an ethical dilemma for communities to say that we will get money. Barry benefits from funding for us. So when we have always looked at the forest at some beeping equity step, how do you put the value, for instance, on the fact the nice forest are the resting ground. So if i were upset stories that definitely wouldnt make it into a price tax. In fact, most of the price tag is based on the price of carbon. So all the benefits are in valuing nature. Basically rely on global Carbon Markets. This website take Scientific Data from this tree and multiply that by the price of carbon to determine the value. The websites from the u. S, where the price of carbon is cheaper. If the website were from the u, this tree would actually be more expensive. This is one mass to hole in carbon pricing. It can be different everywhere and changes over time. Carbon markets also make it easy for companies to continue business as usual. Selling carbon can also reinforce inequalities in order to put a price on a protected area. Remember that someone like ralph shami usually comes in to do the evaluation. This can be a problem that owners are incentivized to plan to not need a 5 species instead of indigenous species because it creates a new type of landscape that could back carbon faster, june Robust Research as Nature Conservation from an indigenous perspective. Critics that use terms like carbon colonialism to describe this new wave of capture enclosure, reach it by capital indigenous in local communities can end up being told how to manage their own land. And often benefits go to governments where the companies with just a small percentage reaching the actual communities. And so one thing thats never going to go away is the discomfort and wrongness of putting a monetary value on. Something is majestic, is this tree, or a blue whale . For now, many Decision Makers only speaking the language of money, not majestic nests, until that changes valuing nature could make it more visible to them. So, should you put a price on nature . In many places we already have, but just how it depends on the circumstance. When we know the value of Living Nature, its easier to protect it. And if its destroyed, finds a way easier to calculate when it comes to carbon credits or paying people for taking care of eco systems. We need to carefully examine whos doing the evaluation and where the money ends up. Because in the end, were still relying on Market Mechanisms which are exactly what got us into this mess in the 1st place. The. What do users on our social media platforms have to say . Well, a lot of people feel closely connected to nature and forests, even if theres not much primeval forest left in europe, at least in finland. Recently hosted the tree, hugging world championships. Participants got to show their love for trees with some public displays of affection. And the winner was a tree hugger from this was terminated. Our expedition gets off to a monday start the boat, so being loaded with provisions for the next 5 days. The foot over during the flimsiest of foot, while the locals are still more sure footed the we are now rather beats we were accompanying crystal shank hands of the frank foot, so ilLogical Society to one of the most remote places in the world. The money, the National Park, the German Organization has been working to help protect the rain forest for decades. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the National Park, a good time to see how its fair in the the river changes color. Effectively sign, posting the way from the my to moderate the deals into the brown, the new trend which waters but the money the of to find time is we reach about quarter where we agree to buy these joint river alters as a young man, biologist christoph shank, spent 3 years living here and researching these red and a new creatures once driven to new extinction. By poaching, he would not want to see a stock or they used to be 100 for their, for, for around 1000. 00 pounds. Traded a year came from her room and then they were put under protection. But only a few populations were left in the most remote corners of the ring for us and had water such as here. The fact they survived here as an indicator that its a completely intact habitat on us here in these river base. And in the presence of the giant otter shows that all is still well with the world of at additional 1030. 00 both species of voss arrive to been 6. The money landscape is considered 1. 00 of the most bio davos areas in the world. Thats why the frank said to the Logical Society supports it. The rain forest is home to few large mammals. Even the monkeys are small. The soils in human slave, it isnt suitable for agriculture. How to the people who live here get by the beginning, atheist, the solution is passed and that groups are incredibly adapted to the system as their highly specialized ego and their hunter gatherers. So they fish and they also have a vast knowledge of where they can find fruits and routes and then whats missing. So they know whats edible and whats not. Theyre also semi nomadic type. Know mon, after day is gen the upstream. We meet the Indigenous People of the match. The gang tried literally to catch the fishes with the simplest of methods. Shes 37. 00 and the mother of 6. While her husband goes hunting, she catches fish. Well. Shes a familys clothes and cooks them meals. And remember that this month, i wouldnt know how else to live in the city. No one gives you money to buy food. As a ok here, i can catch fish and cultivate yucca. This is all land mountain that go to come along with locals. Live in poverty and the ability to tie equipment is struggling. Its listed with plastic foss, Still Holding onto many centuries old traditions. The napoleon is fixing his palms, that trees the people here havent been semi new magic for a long time. In the 1950s, after the arrival of a mission reorganization, they became mainly southern trace and that population becomes a grow. Today, some 270 people live here. Thats too many christoph shrinking his team ahead to find out how bad doing. The young people have no work they complain is just one of the problems with germany provides Financial Support for ambulance transport, a garden for school, children and teaching materials. The peruvian state finance is one meal a day for the children. Many of whom showed signs of malnutrition. Crystal shame doesnt like the look the packet soup, everything today then somebody doesnt have enough calcium in at the front is a hunter. He imitates the cry of a spider monkey monkey meat is a vital source of protein for the much he ganga. But because theyre in a National Park, the 2 men can only hunt with a bow and arrow. Now that the Indigenous People here a 2nd tree, there will hardly any monkeys left in the area around the village. Theyve all been hunted by the we have to inform the frankfurt to a Logical Society project when and where we kill anything. When we get home, well pass on that information. The conservation is keep a close volume the much you can go hunting, then the more the population grows, the more animals are hunted and the more rain forest is cleared for agriculture. Its an environmental di lemme. Of the, this is new. Nicole is the household, its a major challenge, the magnet effect, the move if Living Conditions improve, which is obviously a good idea and theres also an obligation to make this happen. Then the location becomes more attractive on this bill. And that means more people stay here and some even move here from outside when done it. But that exacerbates the problem of building 10 or more in the heart of one of the most important biodiversity areas in the world. And more people always means a reduction in bio diversity. Soon to be able to facilitate the inevitable outcome is all to a parent just outside the National Park. Walker, colorado is a gold mining town signs that we buy gold mine the streets, gold. Prospecting is a lucrative industry. The gold fines the divine ring, the rain forest, 18 percent of the amazon rain forest has been cleared. Ones 20 to 25 percent has lost its ecosystem will be in jeopardy. The rain forest will to cycle will no longer function. Me, its not just a norm as deforestation underway in the amazon continues, then well reach this Tipping Point of ice. The amazon rain forest will disappear on a large scale and there will be a global impact. And unfortunately, theres probably no place on earth that wont be affected. Thats not what we already know for sure is that well see desertification stretching from argentina to the american midwest. The frankfurt so ilLogical Society invest some 700000 euros and yet, but its own funds in gym and Government Funds in the my new National Park that it is help subsidize, a boarding school for the much younger children in book a minute on the south eastern edge of the park, the children look cheerful and well fed. Education will improve that prospect improved in the horizons, including raising their aware and this of the environments see noble, medium a. So if we didnt get the help from frank foot or whatever have to eat, would be called the hydrates. We wouldnt have workshops, the buildings wouldnt be appropriately maintained a little bit monday. The peruvian government doesnt give us a sense for them for that many say dont know sorted by them and didnt even mean today 10. So being pitched in the classroom, mosquito protection, and some people got to take a shower over spaghetti made by the expedition shift. The Group Discusses further ways to help the National Park and the people who live in its its early in the morning on the last day. The every stick with humidity which will turn into rain later. The frankfurt to a Logical Society would like to see funding for the my new National Park secured for good. With the help of the german government, the world simply cannot afford to lose that unique ecosystem. The runny nose is still a popular target for pages in the 1st 6 months of this year, 231 were killed in south africa and and its not just really knows that offense, buffalo hippos and ethan jerome the russo hunted because of the huge demand for reiner whole ivory as well as other bodies thoughts used. For example, in jewelry and metric, tracking down the killers is challenging. This is an old to common site on south africas reserves. A rhino killed by peaches is cause open to find the object, but until that, thats often the 1st clue to help catch the culprits. But this work requires a little of no house, and the experts are in short supply. Great. Simpson is taking on the coaches who a book during the local wildlife since most of these crimes and never prosecuted. Simpson has found it. And the academy that helps train ranges and all the 1st responders to Wildlife Crime scenes in criminal forensics. We felt that it was a great need and the training ranges and people that are 1st responders or even professionals that come across to nora is way when an animal is poached, will, is in and out of a legal activity. And if they have some of the forensic skills, then it means that them, that, that investigation is more likely to end up in a prosecution at court. At this facility, the wild life threatens academy stimulates different Wildlife Crime scenes based on real world examples. Including a snag, jerry ross, a killed lion and rhino poached. His whole students are trained in forensic techniques in order to preserve and collect vital evidence which can be used by the whole thirtys to move forward with court cases. And thats what weve tried to create in this academy multiple scenarios, really drum and what that meant. And then um, and so when they go back into the real world and much better at checking while i left. One major challenge when it comes to Wildlife Crimes is that they generally a cut in remote places which makes some very difficult to prove south africas boss scrub. Land offers plentiful, coveted zip coaches who ambush that prey. The issue is why last time, as of late on any witnesses, theres no one else around uh, maybe someone had a gunshot, but thats, thats what do you have. But if you actually can link someone to a con through Something Like a footprint or a cell phone or a weapon or dna, even that is really popular in court ranges, all sudden the ones who 1st discovered the caucuses of poached animals. Their initial response is critical to reduce the risk of evidence being contaminated or destroyed by window rain. Those details can make or break a case of chances in court. So i think it should be full hands on the ground. Feel changes as well because they often the ones who do come across the scenes before we do see, i do think its something valuable for oranges to attend. And to ask the applicant consonants as well. Students at the academy also take pause in mock trials where they have to defend the evidence they collected. The participants in this simulated Court Proceeding include former prosecutions judges and lower enforcement officials. Collecting evidence is need a 1st step and a long legal process. In real world cases, ensuring what theyve gathered can hold up in court is vital from missing training which to, to 1st responders and those and to, to understand the role will definitely have an impact in fighting while of crime in the sense that it will lend lead to credible evidence which the prosecution can use in proving the elements of the offense against the public practice. Poaching is a 1000000000. 00 business. In asia, one kito of ryan no one sells for tens of thousands of us dollars. The financial incentives huge. Ryan is ellisons red reptiles and even some plants full pay the price the consumer trends. The loss of life has profound impacts on the environment. The large mega format, like elephants and suppose they have a really Important Role to play in an ecosystem. As prompt spaces as large animals, they have an Important Role in shaping the environments and the habitats around them. They have a role in the disposal, nutrients, cycling, and by removing these animals its can lead to by diversity loss and changes and transformations of whole landscapes. Last year, south africa, the last 448 rhinos approaching. But that will also as a 100 associate arrests and a number of convictions including one that resulted in the punch is being sentenced to 60 years in prison. Despite in the stringent penalties, Wildlife Crimes continue training in dealing with some will become increasingly important to ensure that the countries bio diversity is protected.
