Transcripts For DW Global 3000 - The Globalization Program 2

Discovering ingredients from the amas and can local delicacies save the rain forests. But first we had to china where many people are drowning in trash from around the globe. And. Plastic has become a seemingly unavoidable feature of our planet. In one thousand nine hundred fifty we produced around one point five Million Tonnes of it since then global plastic production has skyrocketed in two thousand and sixteen it totals about three hundred search and five million tons. Around half of the plastic produced is disposable products like bottles plastic bags and cups where does it all end up. Much ends up in landfills or in the environment Plastic Waste is also sold shipped to countries like china in two thousand and sixteen china received one point six million tons of plastic rubbish. From the e. U. China is the worlds top importer of plastic trash to date places like we do depend on it for survival but since early two thousand and eighteen the country has banned many waste imports so these chinese children have little to look forward to each day they spend most of their waking hours between plumes of smoke and mountains of plastic their families are in their livelihood by sorting waste these scenes are from a chinese documentary. Volunteer young spent many years filming Small Chinese garbage dumps he was haunted by what he witnessed. In a way i have a daughter of my own i couldnt bear to see her grow up in such a horrible environment some of these children have been surrounded by garbage since they were born i dont want kids living in rubbish every day. This is the dark side of chinas recycling business the family sorting the trash are exposed to numerous hope including toxic fumes and harmful substances some of the children here dont go to school. Whats not recycled often ends up elsewhere in the landscape polluting the groundwater. As a result animals fall ill. Some of the mountains of garbage catch fire. The stench here is horrible its almost impossible to bear. But what else can we do. The air is no good the water is no good. The only thing thats good is the money. While shooting his film one sure young made another discovery most of the garbage comes from overseas far away and one day from my research i was at a massive garbage dump and had a province when i took a closer look i saw the packaging from the us japan germany france and i realized that i was looking at the garbage dump in the entire world. Until the beginning of the year more than half of the worlds waste was sold to china. Also shot footage in the us where waste was the sixth largest export to china germany has also been exporting several hundred thousand tons of Plastic Waste annually to the far east china has now said it will no longer buy certain kinds of waste from abroad they sing based environmentalist marjon welcomes the. Import ban. Your had a. Shop this is good for the environment. And it is urgently needed. Of course it will also lead to a lack of Raw Materials such as paper and plastic. Canal china itself is producing too much waste but environmental awareness is increasing modern recycling and incineration plants are being built in many locations that means other countries are now stuck with twenty four types of waste banned from import to china there was and there i would see how that countries such as germany britain the us all the European Union should all think about how to solve their waste problems. Instead of relying on the world market and simply export water to take it one joule young also sees change many of the recycling plants he visited have since been shut down the filmmaker says the conditions at this garbage sorting facility in beijing are satisfactory. His film has won several International Awards for one joule young the import ban is good news and will contribute to solving chinas environmental problems. We also heard that people in industrialized countries will see the facts and hear the truth film and that they give more attention to base issue. One general young is no longer allowed to show his film on chinas strictly controlled internet but hes convinced his work has helped raise awareness and the country about the need for change. And now its time for global ideas this week we visit the rain forests of ecuador home to a wide variety of little known delicacies reporter Michelle Knight and hannah traveled to the town of. That he met people determined to protect the local way of life and the rain forest with the help of its cullinane delights. So in ecuador People Living in the amazon often maintain household gardens called chakras within the rain forest. For people who are indigenous to this part of the amazon chuck cross often their main source of food. Cecilia she and her family are among those who live from the bounty and biodiversity of the forest for they know which plants a good to eat and which can be used as medicine. Yes the. New one is this fruit is good for treating snakebite. We break open the stand and squeeze out the juice onto the wound up as though we suspect other people of. This wealth of knowledge is passed down from generation to generation. Through. Its us either its a plant that may not why you say is another medicinal plant in the field in the youth day we give it to women who are about to give birth that it prevents hemorrhaging. Almost did grow grow. We now i saw the leads to restaurants. But you can make tea with them but. They were sometimes i get an order and so do i use the leaves to quito. That he ordered them beer. Because i dont go taina is one of the best restaurants in the capital. Recently the menu has been beefed up with exotic ingredients from the chakras. Than ever so theres so much out of the fear that under an interesting move given the guests a city dwellers and foreign visitors with little or no contact with indigenous communities. Head chef and theres a row blessed creates exquisite dishes that embody a fusion of traditions western and Indigenous People has hubs yucca and a freshwater fish from chakra farm as in the forest. For high end restaurants in ecuador ingredients brought in from the rainforest have become something of a trend. In hopes of a closer view that its our duty to make these products more widely known to the ecuador maybe a small country but its hong kong the first range of species we use food from the amazon to coast began to sound like a lot of those islands are full of as a way to present her quit or to the outside world but ive never brought in dollars for the meals so seriously go on go cooks are less elaborate that many kitsch what communities are very for. The livelihoods of Indigenous People who live in the rainforest are in jeopardy as more and more trees a filed. For the most part chuck reza used for subsistence farming now there are new opportunities to sell produce to outsiders. And this couple other nickname is homes among that there are hardly any jobs around here. Sometimes we get work on a hasi end rich people pay us just eight dollars a day to slave away from dawn till dusk. But it was a very small amount thats why our women try to sell things at the market holders dont always sell much. I know but i had all. This stuff on here by the on whats with the canopy bridge ngo. If you see if it helps indigenous fama sell directly to restaurants in quito. I love wasnt there to answer the list of pros chefs in the city use products from the amazon in a new and different way. The harvest is now more financially valuable and people here can earn a little money. Some things just dont sell locally even though theyre very healthy and tasty and have Great Potential so that giving more to what is out. For mom to achieve idea. Have proved to be a delicious surprise they come from the peach palm and have a nutty flavor when theyre roasted. Shes one of the founders of canopy bridge. The ngo has now established a supply chain to fifteen restaurants in quito. Or there was more we said last quarter so we can move people to speak to their hearts by encouraging them to consume products from the amazon borders that they should not only associate their region with deforestation but also with its cuisine its cultures and its colors good food offers a special way of relating to a place most people dont appreciate the immense value of the amazon even in ecuador many people dont know anything about it. Or different. So far about three hundred indigenous families in the amazon work with canopy bridge. Like the team that wants to support traditional farming in the forest to help people that thrive so theyre not tempted to cut down more trees. Than that im in the last episode. And chakras farming is in harmony with the plants in the animals so when people give out tending their gardens they start to fell trees and sell them. Or turn the forest into grazing land. The forest is rich in fruits and herbes tasty fat beetle larvae as well. For kitsch where theyre a delicacy full of protein to be eaten raw or grilled they live in trying to trees. Not on the menu at fine restaurants in quito at least not yet. The. Coral reefs are among the most species rich by attempts on the. Twenty nine reefs including australias Great Barrier reef and the asshole reef in the seychelles around the World Heritage list but twenty one of them are damaged the Climate Change is causing sea temperatures to rise and oceans are becoming rubbish dumps plastic oils sewage and agricultural pesticides are having a devastating effect on coastal waters in particular. Environmentalist so working to protect the corals off the seychelles after all the island nation depends on this marine life for its very survival. The seychelles is a tropical paradise the archipelago covers around four hundred fifty five square kilometers a blunt point three million square kilometers of sea. For everything. And we dont have a. Tourism is the countrys biggest source of income many visitors come here for the spectacular nature so i realize the. And understanding the relation of the say. With the ocean and with the system and how much we rely on. As a marine scientist shes concerned about the growing pressure on the ecosystem. Experts go on regular dives to assess the conditions. Fishing environmental pollution and tourism put strain on the seychelles unique underwater world the coral reefs are suffering the effects of Climate Change because theyre very sensitive to changes in water temperature. They provide a home for a whole host of marine life from sea snails to sharks so without biodiversity so. Reefs near the coast are especially vulnerable and theyre the first ones to die and. There has been a rise in ocean temperature and this has an impact on the corals. To coral bleaching and then you move the coral thing. By the late one nine hundred ninety s. Most coral reefs in the Shallow Waters have died. When core of. Why corals and once they dead they are usually over by. The resources and the activities that he carried out on the coral reefs that. Its a groundbreaking conservation project is now underway. The government recently agreed to protect nearly a third of the countrys marine waters by twenty twenty as part of an initiative called the seychelles Marine Special plan. As a first step the initiative is carrying out a survey of the underwater ecosystem. And we carry out the activity with the. Intent of collecting that on call arrears and fuel that the management of protected areas in seychelles is effective. In partnership with the Nature Conservancy ngo the seychelles Conservation Authority is hoping to understand exactly whats happening to the reefs. Coral reefs often have trouble regenerating in Shallow Water because the waves and currents are constantly moving the skeletons of the dead coral around making it hard for new coveralls to settle this has repercussions for the entire ecosystem i was lucky to really see if you see the change is really how this very long period of time where the temperature is really high in the corals can all recall so this has a huge impact on your environment soft on color waves we have started a coral reef restore ation project looking at all the ways to try and restore coral reefs using the corals that town walrus sealion and growing these corals and putting them back on the reef. Together with fisheries and Tourism Companies the country wants to find ways for everyone to use the sea sustainably even outside the protection areas. The Marine Special plan is the first of its kind in the indian ocean. Healthy coral i want everything that i do or should make a difference and if you have any i think its a really wonderful feeling knowing that whatever information. Its going to want you to the way we do conservation bags going to have a positive in. America so they can be one of the projects runs until twenty twenty by which time the first long term. Section plans should be in place the ecosystem in the seychelles is counting on it. In most countries women are an accepted part of the workforce but there are still big differences between nations such as when it comes to the proportion of women in the painted labor force in the us fifty six percent of women and girls over the age of fifteen engage in paid work in the e. U. That figure is slightly lower fifty one percent but in the middle east and north africa an average of just twenty one percent of women have paid work. In jordan that figure is just fourteen percent. Change their.

Im very happy to repair toilets and washing machines and to replace broken taps his head in the now i feel really good when ive done my work well it makes me proud of myself and my coworkers. And. But their male counterparts on the building side dont share their enthusiasm. Some of them see the women as a burden. Even if they dont say so explicitly. Like as above when we are among ourselves we can move around freely on the site but not when the women here. The. Men and women can be uneasy when theyre working together women time feel comfortable fixing a washing machine or installing a toilet next to a man with a cable. That is willing to take on a supervising role or do design no cosmetic work. But can a woman really work well on the building site hauling bricks which is how do.

Jordan is a big can of stability in the region and in many ways its more modern than some of the to neighbors but gender equality is a long way off tradition and religion are still very important here. Only one in six jordanian women is employed outside the home. But times are changing in jordan and dislocation of school is part of the transition. Women are learning to fit water taps and much more both in theory and practice. They can get a plumbing certificate in two months time. The graduate are much sought after in a country where water is scarce and many pipes leak. The german governments Development Agency is supporting the project. In the past you would find that only women working in like as nurses teachers but now you can find women working in each sector like the female plumbers no one would ever thought that jordan would have a female the most but now with this the rest number we have i think they are proving themselves and this is a thing. About one hundred seventy women now have the certificate. After completing the course many say they have a different sense of themselves they exude strength and confidence and soon dont have jobs.
