[02:52] course on the sustainability and various
[02:52] other issues are there in this program.
[02:54] other issues are there in this program.
[02:54] So I welcome you all in this first
[02:55] So I welcome you all in this first
[02:55] technical session of this refresher

[03:01] Durabati Vishana Japur.
[03:01] So I welcome you
[03:03] Durabati Vishana Japur.
[03:03] So I welcome you
[03:03] all friend.
[03:03] I hope I am audible to
[03:05] all friend.
[03:05] I hope I am audible to
[03:05] everyone and my transparencies are also
[03:06] everyone and my transparencies are also
[03:06] visible to you.
[03:09] visible to you.
[03:09] Is it so?
[03:11] Is it so?
[03:11] Yes sir.
[03:11] Yes sir.
[03:11] Yes sir.
[03:12] Yes sir.
[03:12] Yes sir.
[03:12] Yes sir.
[03:12] Okay.
[03:12] Okay.
[03:12] Thank you.
[03:12] Thank you.
[03:17] Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
[03:19] So friend as we know the sustainability is is of the prime concern for each and every individual.
[03:23] You might have seen every state, every nation, United Nation feel concerned about the various issues of the environment that may be environment that may be the diversity and finally it is the sustainability.
[03:36] Why why we feel so concerned about the sustainability as we know that there is overuse misuse of the nature and the natural resources.
[03:46] Nature does not allow us to do so.
[03:49] This nature is a wonderful creation of the ecological succession and organic evolution.
[03:54] It requires a optimum utilization.
[03:57] But somehow our greed or whatever we can say that is we are exploiting this empowerment, this nature, this natural sources ruthlessly not only in our country but you can say everywhere this process is going on.
[04:10] So friend before I start what this sustainability we have to understand what this nature is what this environment is what this diversity why
[04:17] environment is what this diversity why they are so important why they are so important.
[04:19] why they are so important dear friend in the simple way.
[04:22] important dear friend in the simple way if if we want to define what is this environment.
[04:24] if if we want to define what is this environment environment can be defined.
[04:26] environment environment can be defined as a sum total of the living and the non-living.
[04:27] as a sum total of the living and the non-living are there sum total of the living and the non-living.
[04:30] non-living are there sum total of the living and the non-living.
[04:32] living and the non-living that mean the biotic and the abiotic component.
[04:34] that mean the biotic and the abiotic component which are present in the nature.
[04:36] component which are present in the nature they are equally important.
[04:37] they are equally important I will say even they are more important.
[04:40] say even they are more important The place, the people, the things, the nature which surrounds us that constitute the environment.
[04:42] The place, the people, the things, the nature which surrounds us that constitute the environment.
[04:43] constitute the environment.
[04:46] The air we are breathing, the water we are drinking, the food we are taking that is coming from the environment.
[04:47] The air we are breathing, the water we are drinking, the food we are taking that is coming from the environment.
[04:49] that is coming from the environment. Can be live without here not more than four or five minutes without water not more than a week or 10 days without food not more than 15 to 21.
[04:50] Can be live without here not more than four or five minutes without water not more than a week or 10 days without food not more than 15 to 21.
[04:53] or five minutes without water not more than a week or 10 days without food not more than 15 to 21.
[04:56] without water not more than a week or 10 days without food not more than 15 to 21.
[04:58] than a week or 10 days without food not more than 15 to 21. Highest record is of 21 days.
[05:01] Highest record is of 21 days.
[05:03] 21 days. So whether it is a air, it is a water, it is food, everything is coming from the environment.
[05:05] water, it is food, everything is coming from the environment.
[05:07] from the environment. That's why I have said that we cannot expect the life without this environment.
[05:09] That's why I have said that we cannot expect the life without this environment.
[05:11] expect the life without this environment. This is such important component.
[05:13] This is such important component.
[05:14] component. Although air is non-living, water is non-living and the food whatever we are
[05:16] Although air is non-living, water is non-living and the food whatever we are
[05:18] non-living and the food whatever we are taking that is also the non.
[05:21] taking that is also the non because we cook them but we depends upon whatever we are receiving whatever we are taking from the nature.
[05:29] So in this nature in this environment it is very much apparent that nothing can survive in isolation.
[05:32] Can we live in isol? No, no one can live.
[05:35] Nothing can survive in isolation.
[05:38] In this nature, there is a process of give and take is there.
[05:40] We are taking something from the environment and giving zap something to the environment.
[05:45] So this process of give and take that is known as the eating and being eaten up is going in the nature.
[05:50] So everything is very much balanced in the nature by this process of Taka.
[05:57] Sorry to interrupt you.
[06:01] Your PP is not visible to us.
[06:05] PP is not visible.
[06:06] Yeah, early it was visible uh when you started your lecture.
[06:10] So I think something got messing something went wrong.
[06:12] I think something not.
[06:12] Thank you.
[06:20] Thank you.
[06:20] Okay.
[06:20] Thank you.
[06:24] Thank you.
[06:24] Okay.
[06:24] Thank you.
[06:24] It's visible now.
[06:25] It's visible now.
[06:25] It is visible now.
[06:25] Huh?
[06:25] That's good.
[06:27] It is visible now.
[06:27] Huh?
[06:27] That's good.
[06:27] That's good.
[06:30] That's good.
[06:30] So I was I was talking about the now the
[06:33] So I was I was talking about the now the biodiversity as we know that nothing can
[06:35] biodiversity as we know that nothing can survive in isolation.
[06:38] survive in isolation.
[06:38] So this impraction of the living being
[06:41] So this impraction of the living being among them with the nature
[06:44] among them with the nature that constitute a kind of the balance in
[06:46] that constitute a kind of the balance in the nature.
[06:46] Dear friend this diversity
[06:50] the nature.
[06:50] Dear friend this diversity or the biodiversity it refers to the
[06:52] or the biodiversity it refers to the variety and the variability of the
[06:54] variety and the variability of the living being.
[06:54] variety and the biology
[06:57] living being.
[06:57] variety and the biology the various kinds of organism although
[06:59] the various kinds of organism although it is not a very old term it has been
[07:01] it is not a very old term it has been coined by the Walter Zen in 1985 but now
[07:04] coined by the Walter Zen in 1985 but now it become the flavor of each and every
[07:06] it become the flavor of each and every nation every nation feel concerned that
[07:09] nation every nation feel concerned that they're talking about about the
[07:10] they're talking about about the diversity they feel concerned about the
[07:12] diversity they feel concerned about the depletion and the degration of the
[07:13] depletion and the degration of the diversity
[07:15] diversity and you know at present 2.16 million
[07:19] and you know at present 2.16 million species have been known so far now I am
[07:22] species have been known so far.
[07:25] Now I am again repeating 2.16 million species, again repeating 2.16 million species have been known so far.
[07:27] And it is estimated that 3 to 10 million species are still there in the nature which need to be discovered.
[07:33] Which need to be invented, which need to be put on record.
[07:36] So what we have discovered just 2.16 million.
[07:38] More than double or the trouble species are still there in the nature.
[07:43] Which need to be put on record.
[07:46] And friend, this process of discovering the new species is going on.
[07:53] It is going on everywhere every year.
[07:56] The new species are being inculcated in the Delhi and they are being reported from the different habitats of as we know that 71% on this earth to the water.
[08:11] So we are expecting that many such habitat deep into the sea they are still unexplored.
[08:18] Many such forest area deep into the forest we expect the large number of.
[08:22] forest we expect the large number of species and this process is going on the species and this process is going on the only difference is that you will find only difference is that you will find the large number of the species are being reported every year everywhere in case of the low organism whereas in case of the higher organism that may be higher animal that may be the higher plant their number is quite low.
[08:48] Their number is quite low.
[08:50] A few exceptions are there.
[09:00] of the mega diversity countries in the world.
[09:02] There are total 17 country in the world who have been designated as a mega diverse country and India is one of them.
[09:09] them.
[09:11] India is home for more than 45,000 species of the plants and 91,000 species of the animal.
[09:19] 91,000 species of the animals have been reported so far.
[09:22] Dear friend, India is
[09:25] reported so far.
[09:25] Dear friend, India is home for 428 mammals.
[09:30] 1,314 home for 428 mammals.
[09:30] 1,314 world, 518 reptile, 342 amphibians,
[09:33] 518 reptile, 342 amphibians, 2,6262
[09:35] 2,6262 fishes and more than 52,000
[09:39] fishes and more than 52,000 species of the insects have been known so far.
[09:41] species of the insects have been known so far.
[09:44] Very interestingly, India is having just 2.4% 4% of the world land
[09:47] having just 2.4% 4% of the world land mass
[09:52] land
[09:54] land and the diversity which we are representing to the rest of the world
[09:55] and the diversity which we are representing to the rest of the world
[09:58] representing to the rest of the world that is about 8.1%.
[10:01] that is about 8.1%.
[10:01] And in that 8.1% it is the animal diversity which is dominating one it is
[10:04] it is the animal diversity which is dominating one it is approximately 6.4%.
[10:07] diversity which is dominating one it is approximately 6.4%.
[10:07] So can you measure?
[10:10] approximately 6.4%.
[10:10] So can you measure?
[10:10] No.
[10:13] No. Against the 2.4% 4% of the land mass we are representing about 6.4% 4% of the
[10:17] we are representing about 6.4% 4% of the animal diversity and this is the reason
[10:19] animal diversity and this is the reason that India has been designated as a one
[10:21] that India has been designated as a one of the mega diversity countries in the
[10:23] of the mega diversity countries in the world.
[10:23] There are total 17 country and
[10:25] world.
[10:27] There are total 17 country and India has been ranked at the serial number 12th keeping in both the diversity and the distribution of the various animals.
[10:33] various animals.
[10:36] This is the result.
[10:39] So far the diversity is concerned at present we have 573 wildlife centuries 106 national park and 100 uh sorry uh 18 biosphere sir 573 wildlife century 106 national park and 18 biosphere sir.
[10:57] These are the some specified areas where you can see the sometime the intervention of the human being is accepted.
[11:04] Sometime it is up to they are different jone.
[11:08] So sometime the anthropogenic pressure or as intervention may be accepted or sometime may not be separate keeping into their categorization.
[11:14] categorization.
[11:16] Dear friend at present it is very interesting that all over the world we have we have 36 biodiversity hotspot all over them
[11:29] 36 biodiversity hotspot all over them and so far the Indian subcontinent is.
[11:31] And so far the Indian subcontinent is concerned we have very interesting very important for biodiversity.
[11:37] Simple way what this biodiversity.
[11:40] These are the area where you will find the maximum diversity of the species.
[11:44] These are the area where you will find the maximum endemism of the species.
[11:46] And is a term which is generally used for particular species which is confined to that particular area.
[11:50] They are endemic to the Australia.
[11:57] They are endemic to the New Zealand you will not find everywhere.
[12:02] So these species are confined to that particular area.
[12:04] So if that area is having the diversity of the species and that area is having the endemism that area is eligible but there are two reasonability factor to declare an area as a biodiversity hotspot.
[12:13] The two very important eligible factors are there and the premier agency that is IUC and international union of conservation of the nature and natural resources there which declared the very first is that that area must.
[12:31] the very first is that that area must have more than 0.5% of the total.
[12:35] have more than 0.5% of the total vascular plant species.
[12:38] vascular plant species reported all over the world area more than 0.5%.
[12:42] and second if that area is under the anthropogenic pressure and has been destructed or devastated about 70%.
[12:52] If 70% of that area has been threatened by the anthropogenic pressure, that area is eligible to be declared as a biodiversity.
[13:02] And we have we have very important four biodiversity hotspot in our country that is the northeastern Himalaya injamar border western kart and the sunda land.
[13:22] Dear friend as we know Himalaya is a beautiful range of the mountain extended from Arunachal Pradesh to the Hindu Kushpa touching of Afghanistan and the Pakistan.
[13:31] Afghanistan and the Pakistan.
[13:35] This range of the sorry, this range of the 2,500 kilometer is a beautiful range.
[13:41] It is known for the snow plate mountain.
[13:43] It is known for the lush green pine forest.
[13:46] It is known for the wonderful gradient of the green pasture and it is known for the fascinating floral and the formal spaces.
[13:55] spaces.
[13:57] Fascinating floral and the formal spaces.
[13:58] But friend whole of the Himalaya is not a harvesting horseman.
[14:01] It is only the northeastern part that is part of India, Nepal and the Bhutan Valley.
[14:07] Whereas part of the Himalaya is joining to the Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal and Uttraan and even the part of Uttar Pradesh.
[14:13] It is known as the northwestern part of the Himalaya.
[14:17] It is known for the uniqueness in the diversity but not as a bioastic as well.
[14:23] As we know Himalaya is the youngest and the highest mountain range in the world.
[14:28] youngest still it is going you know
[14:33] it is not like the Andy's mountain range.
[14:35] it is not like the Andy's mountain range which is considered the oldest one which is considered the oldest one which is in the but is the youngest one.
[14:41] it is still still growing.
[14:51] Hello.
[14:59] sir, you are audible please.
[14:59] Yes sir.
[15:05] Okay.
[15:05] Okay, you are audible.
[15:07] you are audible.
[15:07] Thank you.
[15:09] So I was telling that Himalaya is the youngest and the highest mountain in still it is going Indian plates.
[15:14] they are colliding with the Eurasian plates they are going down and the Himalaya is rising up.
[15:17] the Himalaya is rising up.
[15:19] Himalaya is rising above with the pace of the five mm per year.
[15:25] Himalaya is rising above although it is not visible to people is certain certain other factor they.
[15:35] mic sorry off Mike
[15:39] mic sorry off Mike
[15:40] certain other factor they are operating simultaneously like the bithering of the
[15:42] simultaneously like the bithering of the rock is there erosion is there but it it
[15:45] rock is there erosion is there but it it is going the very interesting fact which
[15:47] is going the very interesting fact which I want to put before you people that
[15:49] I want to put before you people that Himalaya is full of the diversity
[15:53] Himalaya is full of the diversity full of the diversity Diversity is
[15:56] full of the diversity Diversity is dear friends 29% diversity of the
[15:59] dear friends 29% diversity of the Himalaya is endemic
[16:09] and rest all other it is the 29%
[16:13] is the youngest and the highest
[16:19] Himalaya youngest in the nature and this
[16:22] Himalaya youngest in the nature and this is the reason for its fragility
[16:24] is the reason for its fragility You might have seen during the uh rainy
[16:27] You might have seen during the uh rainy season many such incidences or
[16:29] season many such incidences or geological upheavalss are taking place
[16:31] geological upheavalss are taking place in the Himalaya reason.
[16:33] This is the reason because the complete
[16:35] reason because the complete sedimentation of the plates have been
[16:37] sedimentation of the plates have been not taking place.
[16:37] It is still growing not taking place.
[16:39] It is still growing and it is not so uh old.
[16:42] There is a fragility and that is the reason for that complete sedimentation.
[16:51] you will find the lot of facilities there that is the main reason for the facility anyhow among that 29% diversity the floral diversity 14%.
[17:06] that's why this reason is the full of the diversity full of the LDB services.
[17:11] dear Friend, if you remember, if you remember 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to a Chinese lady Yoyo Chinese Nobel Prize.
[17:30] Very interestingly she extracted artisine from the artisia
[17:39] just like the congress class.
[17:41] will find just like the congress class.
[17:43] will find that artisia is there and she developed a complete protocol how to extract the artisine from the artisia.
[17:48] Before 2015 those are pandaselle we were having just one medicine in our hand that is known as the chloropine used to treat the malarial problem in our body and that chloropine extracted from the bark of the simon plant but after the discovery of the artisine now we have another medicine hand that is the artisine which is working wonderfully against the malaria parasite.
[18:12] So credit goes to that Chinese lady Yoyoto who discovered who developed a complete protocol to extract the noble molecule of the artis from the artisia.
[18:21] I'm quoting this statement.
[18:23] Reason being the reason being that Chinese lady while working on the single species of artisia she got the Nobel prize and you know friend in our country how much species are there?
[18:37] 45 species of the artisia have been known so far.
[18:49] There is a lot of scope.
[18:51] There is a lot of scope to work to explore to unear that.
[18:54] To work to explore to unear that diversity, those noble molecule which are present in this nature, particularly in the Himalaya reason.
[19:00] The medicine which is being used to treat the malaria to get treat the problem of the malarial disease in the human body.
[19:13] It is it is equivalent to this as a basari plants you will find in this Himalaya range which are of the immense importance and being exploited in the various such cases.
[19:24] Dear friend, I was telling about the poor biodiversity hotspot.
[19:28] So the first one is the northeastern Himalaya that that include the India, Nepal and the Bhutan only.
[19:37] And uh in case of the categorization of the species you might have uh gone through that various terminology.
[19:45] The species which are no more now, they are known as the extinct one.
[19:50] one only the fossil remains are there just.
[19:51] only the fossil remains are there just to understand the kind of the life the.
[19:53] to understand the kind of the life the kind of organism.
[19:55] kind of organism they were.
[19:58] they were extinct.
[20:00] extinct.
[20:02] So having the different categorization of the species and you will find some are the extinct ones, some are the endangered, some are the threatened ones, some are the vulnerable, some are the rare species and some are the least concerned species.
[20:11] the rare species and some are the least concerned species.
[20:13] So friend in the northeastern part of the Himalaya 163 endangered species which are in danger of extinction that is the one horn rhinosaurus is there and wildetated water buffalo they are endemic to this reason and they are actually endangered species.
[20:25] water buffalo they are endemic to this reason and they are actually endangered species.
[20:31] species.
[20:34] The second one that is the Indob Burma or Indoamar border part of India part of the Burma Myamar.
[20:45] Dear friend this reason become so prominent in the last few years.
[20:51] prominent in the last few years. What happened
[20:54] What happened in the last 13 year? Indo Burma border
[20:58] in the last 13 year? Indo Burma border become a hot spot. Reason for that six
[21:01] become a hot spot. Reason for that six large mamalian species have been
[21:03] large mamalian species have been reported from this area.
[21:09] Higher animals discovery species lower
[21:12] Higher animals discovery species lower animals are being discovered from every
[21:15] animals are being discovered from every particular case of the mammal. Whatever
[21:17] particular case of the mammal. Whatever the new discovery we have that is of the
[21:19] the new discovery we have that is of the small mamalian species that may be the
[21:21] small mamalian species that may be the rat, rodent, shlu, mole, squirrel etc.
[21:24] rat, rodent, shlu, mole, squirrel etc. It is very rare to encounter the large
[21:26] It is very rare to encounter the large memorial species.
[21:28] memorial species. Reason
[21:30] Reason the last 13 years six large mamalian
[21:33] the last 13 years six large mamalian species have been reported.
[21:41] That is also reflecting that if these
[21:43] That is also reflecting that if these species were present somewhere in
[21:44] species were present somewhere in another part of the world certainly they
[21:46] another part of the world certainly they could have been it it means they are
[21:49] could have been it it means they are endemic for this reason that's why they
[21:51] endemic for this reason that's why they remain unexplored they remain unnoticed.
[21:56] remain unexplored they remain unnoticed. So that's why this area becomes so
[21:57] So that's why this area becomes so prominent and has been declared as a
[21:59] prominent and has been declared as a biodiversity hotspot. The third one is
[22:01] biodiversity hotspot. The third one is the you know western part a beautiful
[22:04] the you know western part a beautiful area the coastline part of the
[22:08] area the coastline part of the Maharashtra Karnataka and the Kerala
[22:10] Maharashtra Karnataka and the Kerala also known as the Kolkan area. If you
[22:12] also known as the Kolkan area. If you have traveled to uh through that Kolkan
[22:15] have traveled to uh through that Kolkan area you might have encountered the
[22:17] area you might have encountered the facility floral and the fales.
[22:25] Now you can imagine the diversity, you
[22:27] Now you can imagine the diversity, you can imagine the potential of that area.
[22:29] can imagine the potential of that area. 325
[22:31] 325 globally threatened species have been
[22:35] globally threatened species have been reported so far from that area. I have
[22:38] reported so far from that area. I have told 163 endangered species from
[22:41] told 163 endangered species from northeastern region and now 325 globally
[22:45] northeastern region and now 325 globally threatened species are present in that
[22:48] threatened species are present in that western country
[22:50] western country potential
[22:52] potential and the fourth one is the sunda land
[22:58] dear friend
[23:00] dear friend part of India that is the and manan and
[23:03] part of India that is the and manan and the nicobar and apart from that it
[23:05] the nicobar and apart from that it include the Indonesia, Burundi, Malaysia
[23:07] include the Indonesia, Burundi, Malaysia IA, Thailand, Singapore etc. Many such
[23:10] IA, Thailand, Singapore etc. Many such area have been included in that.
[23:13] area have been included in that. Dear friend, Sundaland
[23:16] Dear friend, Sundaland one of the biologically richest hot spot
[23:19] one of the biologically richest hot spot in the world. Biologically richest
[23:21] in the world. Biologically richest hotspot in the world and due to its
[23:23] hotspot in the world and due to its richness in the terrestrial as well as
[23:24] richness in the terrestrial as well as the marine species. It has been declared
[23:28] the marine species. It has been declared as a world biosphere reserve by United
[23:31] as a world biosphere reserve by United Nation in 2013.
[23:34] Nation in 2013. World biosphere reserve
[23:37] World biosphere reserve because the sundal land is very much
[23:39] because the sundal land is very much rich in the terrestrial as well as the
[23:40] rich in the terrestrial as well as the quatic floral and the fal species. So
[23:43] quatic floral and the fal species. So one of the biologically richest
[23:44] one of the biologically richest hotspotes. These are the beautiful
[23:49] hotspotes. These are the beautiful important biodiversity.
[23:52] important biodiversity. Apart from that one more thing which I
[23:53] Apart from that one more thing which I want to put before you that is the
[23:55] want to put before you that is the raster site
[23:57] raster site that is also kind of the program for the
[23:59] that is also kind of the program for the conservation of the various animal
[24:00] conservation of the various animal species particularly the wetlands.
[24:04] species particularly the wetlands. At present 2,500 Ramster sites are
[24:07] At present 2,500 Ramster sites are present all over the world.
[24:10] present all over the world. Why this Ramster site become so
[24:11] Why this Ramster site become so prominent and from where we have owned
[24:13] prominent and from where we have owned this war? Dear friend in 1971
[24:18] one convention on the climate change and
[24:20] one convention on the climate change and the wetland that took place in Iran in
[24:24] the wetland that took place in Iran in Ramsar. Ramsar is a place in the
[24:27] Ramsar. Ramsar is a place in the convention.
[24:29] convention. So scientific community thought they
[24:31] So scientific community thought they conceived an idea why not to declare
[24:33] conceived an idea why not to declare this convention with the name of the
[24:35] this convention with the name of the Ramsa convention
[24:37] Ramsa convention or logic.
[24:42] Ka
[24:44] Ka we have seen that large number of the
[24:46] we have seen that large number of the animal they start migrating from the one
[24:47] animal they start migrating from the one place reaching to the different parts of
[24:49] place reaching to the different parts of the continent in search of the suitable
[24:52] the continent in search of the suitable environmental condition in search of the
[24:54] environmental condition in search of the food in search of the mate to reproduce
[24:56] food in search of the mate to reproduce these animals start migrating from the
[24:58] these animals start migrating from the one corner reaching to the different
[25:00] one corner reaching to the different corner across the geographical and
[25:02] corner across the geographical and administrative boundaries of the nation
[25:04] administrative boundaries of the nation for them there is no such boundary
[25:07] for them there is no such boundary notice national geographic or discovery
[25:10] notice national geographic or discovery channel Many such mamalian species they
[25:13] channel Many such mamalian species they start migrating from Tanjania covering
[25:15] start migrating from Tanjania covering the this uh serenity reaching up to the
[25:17] the this uh serenity reaching up to the Ethiopia
[25:20] Ethiopia they start migrating from the one corner
[25:22] they start migrating from the one corner reaching to the another corner of the
[25:23] reaching to the another corner of the continent. So for these animal there is
[25:26] continent. So for these animal there is no such geographical boundism.
[25:30] Similarly in our country we also see
[25:32] Similarly in our country we also see such animal species.
[25:34] such animal species. Many such bird species particular the
[25:36] Many such bird species particular the ducks geese and the swans they migrate
[25:39] ducks geese and the swans they migrate from the different part of the world
[25:41] from the different part of the world particularly from the Russia from the
[25:43] particularly from the Russia from the Siberia from the other part of the
[25:45] Siberia from the other part of the Europe even the coldest part of the
[25:47] Europe even the coldest part of the world which is known as the vco yangik
[25:50] world which is known as the vco yangik we are saving the these migratory ducks
[25:53] we are saving the these migratory ducks geese and the swans
[25:55] geese and the swans so
[25:57] so that's why that was the reason to
[26:00] that's why that was the reason to declare those wetland those areas as a
[26:04] declare those wetland those areas as a Ramsar site that is the site of the
[26:07] Ramsar site that is the site of the national and international importers.
[26:16] So that was the reason to declare those
[26:18] So that was the reason to declare those area as a as a international identity.
[26:23] area as a as a international identity. So friend at present we have 2500
[26:26] So friend at present we have 2500 Ramster site all over the world and so
[26:29] Ramster site all over the world and so for the Indian subcontinent is concerned
[26:32] for the Indian subcontinent is concerned at present we have 98 Ramsar site 98
[26:37] at present we have 98 Ramsar site 98 Ramsar site we have up it is very
[26:39] Ramsar site we have up it is very important to put on record that up to
[26:41] important to put on record that up to 2014
[26:45] sites
[26:47] sites 68
[26:49] 68 now we have added in the
[26:52] now we have added in the uh 72.
[26:55] uh 72. So 72 have been added this year in the
[26:58] So 72 have been added this year in the last one decade. Every year on the 2nd
[27:01] last one decade. Every year on the 2nd of the February we celebrate 2nd
[27:03] of the February we celebrate 2nd February as a world
[27:07] raster site last year
[27:12] total 98 Ramster sites. Sundar one is
[27:16] total 98 Ramster sites. Sundar one is there in the west wall which is regarded
[27:18] there in the west wall which is regarded as the largest Ramsa site and uh Reuka
[27:21] as the largest Ramsa site and uh Reuka is there in the Himatal Pradesh which is
[27:22] is there in the Himatal Pradesh which is considered as the smallest one you in
[27:26] considered as the smallest one you in you know Madhya Pradesh you might have
[27:27] you know Madhya Pradesh you might have BJ Ramsa site is there I think then yes
[27:31] BJ Ramsa site is there I think then yes saga is also there one more that is
[27:35] saga is also there one more that is known as the Shibuuri it is Shipuri then
[27:38] known as the Shibuuri it is Shipuri then Sururi is there also I think four five
[27:40] Sururi is there also I think four five Ram so sites are there in the Matra also
[27:43] Ram so sites are there in the Matra also and Tamil Nadu is the state who is
[27:45] and Tamil Nadu is the state who is having the highest number of the Ramster
[27:47] having the highest number of the Ramster site 20
[27:50] site 20 20 raster sites are there. So friend
[27:52] 20 raster sites are there. So friend these are the wonderful program for the
[27:53] these are the wonderful program for the conservation of this diversity.
[27:55] conservation of this diversity. Wonderful program. There is no wrong in
[27:57] Wonderful program. There is no wrong in that.
[27:59] that. There is a dire need to protect and
[28:00] There is a dire need to protect and preserve the diversity.
[28:06] I want to quote a very beautiful
[28:07] I want to quote a very beautiful statement of the sir Isaac Newton the
[28:10] statement of the sir Isaac Newton the man who gave the gravitational law why
[28:12] man who gave the gravitational law why the things are falling on the ground. A
[28:15] the things are falling on the ground. A climate is a kind of the climax with the
[28:17] climate is a kind of the climax with the scientific community what we have
[28:18] scientific community what we have preserved at present. Sir Isaac Newton
[28:21] preserved at present. Sir Isaac Newton has said
[28:27] the known to be people is just a drop of
[28:29] the known to be people is just a drop of the eyes. Wherever whatever is but known
[28:31] the eyes. Wherever whatever is but known to be people that is the use of
[28:34] to be people that is the use of and friend same thing has been said by
[28:37] and friend same thing has been said by the scientific community that 2.16
[28:41] the scientific community that 2.16 million species have been known so far
[28:43] million species have been known so far and it is estimated that 3 to 10 million
[28:45] and it is estimated that 3 to 10 million species are still there in the nature
[28:46] species are still there in the nature which need to
[28:57] It may be those species of the immense
[28:59] It may be those species of the immense importance that may contain certain
[29:01] importance that may contain certain commercial values that may contain
[29:03] commercial values that may contain certain medicinal value that may have
[29:07] certain medicinal value that may have certain edible properties also that may
[29:09] certain edible properties also that may have certain harmful properties. We may
[29:12] have certain harmful properties. We may establish those facts.
[29:19] Suppose something is poisonous in the
[29:20] Suppose something is poisonous in the nature.
[29:22] nature. Fungus species which are highly toxic in
[29:24] Fungus species which are highly toxic in the nature. We can consume them.
[29:27] the nature. We can consume them. They are highly toxic. They're highly
[29:28] They are highly toxic. They're highly poisonous. But you know that poison can
[29:31] poisonous. But you know that poison can be utilized. That poison can be
[29:35] be utilized. That poison can be used to neutralize the certain other
[29:37] used to neutralize the certain other toxins.
[29:42] So these poison can be used in the
[29:44] So these poison can be used in the various medicines to treat the various
[29:45] various medicines to treat the various elements in our body and if they have
[29:47] elements in our body and if they have edible property we must be knowing about
[29:49] edible property we must be knowing about that. They may have the certain
[29:52] that. They may have the certain beautiful things it is there.
[30:03] If that remain unattended, if pickle in
[30:06] If that remain unattended, if pickle in our kitchen remain unattended for months
[30:08] our kitchen remain unattended for months together, you will find a layer of the
[30:10] together, you will find a layer of the fungus over that.
[30:24] If that remain unattended for a week of
[30:27] If that remain unattended for a week of the 10 days, you will find a layer of
[30:29] the 10 days, you will find a layer of the that green or the brown color from
[30:31] the that green or the brown color from the sofa that
[30:33] the sofa that it is true
[30:35] it is true but credit goes to the Alexander Fleming
[30:39] but credit goes to the Alexander Fleming that great scientist who discovered the
[30:42] that great scientist who discovered the peneline from those fungal high
[30:47] material which has piled up edible
[30:50] material which has piled up edible comedy but credit goes to that man who
[30:53] comedy but credit goes to that man who discovered the best from love. Thank
[30:55] discovered the best from love. Thank you. Thank you friends
[31:01] which later on become a life-saving drug
[31:03] which later on become a life-saving drug such a important antibiotic that pencil
[31:05] such a important antibiotic that pencil is
[31:07] is from those fungal.
[31:09] from those fungal. So friends it is very apparent that our
[31:11] So friends it is very apparent that our knowledge may be limited but the
[31:13] knowledge may be limited but the economic importance of each and every
[31:15] economic importance of each and every species present in the nature is
[31:17] species present in the nature is actually unlimited.
[31:19] actually unlimited. unlimited.
[31:24] Snakes are not our enemy in the nature.
[31:27] Snakes are not our enemy in the nature. You might have seen these snakes have
[31:30] You might have seen these snakes have controlled the rats population
[31:34] quite obvious. They will interfere with
[31:35] quite obvious. They will interfere with the agriculture system and the situation
[31:37] the agriculture system and the situation like famine.
[31:41] So that's why I have said this nature is
[31:43] So that's why I have said this nature is balanced. The eating and being eaten up
[31:45] balanced. The eating and being eaten up is going in the nature. I don't know
[31:47] is going in the nature. I don't know whether in your m that plant is there or
[31:49] whether in your m that plant is there or not. You might have seen one uh plant
[31:51] not. You might have seen one uh plant that is known as the artika
[31:57] although it is present in the Himalaya
[31:59] although it is present in the Himalaya reason but it is I I hope so. Thank you
[32:01] reason but it is I I hope so. Thank you Dr. Dan. It is it it is there in the
[32:04] Dr. Dan. It is it it is there in the different parts also mere touching of
[32:06] different parts also mere touching of that plant may cause the irritation that
[32:07] that plant may cause the irritation that may cause the itching that may cause the
[32:09] may cause the itching that may cause the rashes. Why? because of having certain
[32:12] rashes. Why? because of having certain absorbic acids in that
[32:15] absorbic acids in that this plant is of no use. No
[32:20] that plant has the name artika is there.
[32:23] that plant has the name artika is there. Thank you Dr. S. As this plant is known
[32:26] Thank you Dr. S. As this plant is known as the artika antihomeopathy you will
[32:28] as the artika antihomeopathy you will find in medicine that is known as the
[32:29] find in medicine that is known as the artika arnas
[32:32] artika arnas is there in the medicine which is
[32:34] is there in the medicine which is exploited which is used to treat the
[32:36] exploited which is used to treat the gout and the uricus problem in the body.
[32:38] gout and the uricus problem in the body. certain contents in that medicine have
[32:40] certain contents in that medicine have been taken from that plant
[32:44] is there is there. So this is the
[32:47] is there is there. So this is the information
[32:50] knowledge our knowledge may be limited
[32:52] knowledge our knowledge may be limited but the economic importance of the
[32:54] but the economic importance of the plants of the various diversity present
[32:55] plants of the various diversity present in the nature that is of the immense
[32:58] in the nature that is of the immense importance that is unlimited but friends
[33:01] importance that is unlimited but friends it is our duty it is our responsibility
[33:04] it is our duty it is our responsibility to maintain the dignity and the serenity
[33:06] to maintain the dignity and the serenity and the purity of this environment
[33:09] and the purity of this environment of the purity of this environment there
[33:11] of the purity of this environment there are certain threats there are certain
[33:14] are certain threats there are certain threats to this environment and the
[33:15] threats to this environment and the diversity
[33:26] importance
[33:28] importance disappear. We will be deprived of that
[33:31] disappear. We will be deprived of that noble molecule. So that's why there is a
[33:35] noble molecule. So that's why there is a need to maintain to preserve to protect
[33:37] need to maintain to preserve to protect each and every species present in the
[33:39] each and every species present in the nature.
[33:41] nature. Each and every species.
[33:44] Each and every species. Dear friends,
[33:47] certain threats to this environment and
[33:49] certain threats to this environment and the biodiversity are there. But who has
[33:51] the biodiversity are there. But who has created that? So
[33:55] created that? So 2.16 million species
[33:58] 2.16 million species species which has threatened this
[34:00] species which has threatened this environment
[34:02] environment species.
[34:04] species. There is no one except the human being.
[34:09] Except the human being. No one is there.
[34:13] Except the human being. No one is there. We human being we are the most civilized
[34:15] We human being we are the most civilized most cultured advanced and the ultimate
[34:18] most cultured advanced and the ultimate product of that organic convolution.
[34:22] product of that organic convolution. You know the age of the earth is about
[34:24] You know the age of the earth is about 4.6 billion year ago that the first life
[34:26] 4.6 billion year ago that the first life appeared on this earth is approximately
[34:28] appeared on this earth is approximately 3.6 billion year ago and we are the
[34:31] 3.6 billion year ago and we are the product of that 3.6 billion year ago. We
[34:34] product of that 3.6 billion year ago. We are at the highest point.
[34:39] That's why we consider ourel as the most
[34:41] That's why we consider ourel as the most advanced and ultimate product of organic
[34:43] advanced and ultimate product of organic cabbage friends student biology.
[34:48] cabbage friends student biology. This is just a one side of the coin.
[34:51] This is just a one side of the coin. Just one side of the coin. This is the
[34:54] Just one side of the coin. This is the other side of the coin is that we are
[34:56] other side of the coin is that we are most junior most on this planet earth.
[35:08] Even they are yes that's very true
[35:11] Even they are yes that's very true they are even senior to be people
[35:16] they know how to live in the nature they
[35:18] they know how to live in the nature they have a kind of the ability that is a
[35:20] have a kind of the ability that is a kind of adaptation in the nature they
[35:21] kind of adaptation in the nature they are well adapted well adjusted in the
[35:23] are well adapted well adjusted in the nature
[35:26] nature there is a need to learn from them
[35:29] there is a need to learn from them there is a need to learn from them
[35:36] no doubt we are homeopy
[35:39] no doubt we are homeopy Bird species they are also homeothermic.
[35:41] Bird species they are also homeothermic. They also have the constant body
[35:42] They also have the constant body temperature. Many such mammal species
[35:44] temperature. Many such mammal species are there which are present in the
[35:45] are there which are present in the nature. They also have the constant body
[35:46] nature. They also have the constant body temperature.
[35:56] The animals which are living in the wild
[35:58] The animals which are living in the wild for them four degrees same and 44° same.
[36:01] for them four degrees same and 44° same. So the basic difference between the we
[36:03] So the basic difference between the we human being and the rest of the animal
[36:04] human being and the rest of the animal is that we have modified the environment
[36:06] is that we have modified the environment according to our convenience. Whereas
[36:08] according to our convenience. Whereas those animal they have modified yourself
[36:10] those animal they have modified yourself according to the change condition of the
[36:12] according to the change condition of the environment.
[36:18] This is the basic difference between the
[36:20] This is the basic difference between the human being and the rest of the
[36:26] various threats which are present in the
[36:27] various threats which are present in the nature that has been created by the
[36:29] nature that has been created by the human being only. No one else no one
[36:32] human being only. No one else no one came from planet to destroy or to
[36:34] came from planet to destroy or to deplete or to deteriorate the quality of
[36:35] deplete or to deteriorate the quality of the environment
[36:40] which are degrading this environment. It
[36:42] which are degrading this environment. It is only the human being. The third
[36:44] is only the human being. The third biodiversity global law group which
[36:46] biodiversity global law group which happened in in 2010 they have identified
[36:49] happened in in 2010 they have identified many such threats but all have been
[36:51] many such threats but all have been included in the five major threats of
[36:52] included in the five major threats of the environment
[36:54] the environment major threats environment
[36:57] major threats environment and they are mainly responsible for the
[36:59] and they are mainly responsible for the destruction and devastation of this
[37:01] destruction and devastation of this natural serenity of the environment. The
[37:04] natural serenity of the environment. The first one is the habitat degradation is
[37:05] first one is the habitat degradation is there
[37:07] there the natural abode is being destroyed and
[37:09] the natural abode is being destroyed and depleted by the human activity.
[37:13] Second is the climate change.
[37:16] Second is the climate change. Everybody is talking about the climate
[37:18] Everybody is talking about the climate change. Climate change is disturbance
[37:22] change. Climate change is disturbance undue unusual rains and many more things
[37:25] undue unusual rains and many more things are there. How that climate is being
[37:27] are there. How that climate is being changed.
[37:29] changed. Then the third one is very important
[37:31] Then the third one is very important that is the various kinds of the
[37:32] that is the various kinds of the substances which we are adding into the
[37:35] substances which we are adding into the environment that may be chemical that
[37:37] environment that may be chemical that may the fertilizer that may be the
[37:39] may the fertilizer that may be the insecticide pesticide fungicide miticide
[37:42] insecticide pesticide fungicide miticide bitic side so many chemicals we are
[37:44] bitic side so many chemicals we are using in our agriculture system to get
[37:46] using in our agriculture system to get rid of the problem of the pest and other
[37:47] rid of the problem of the pest and other things we using them but all those
[37:50] things we using them but all those chemicals they are bouncing back they're
[37:51] chemicals they are bouncing back they're coming back to the human diet
[37:54] coming back to the human diet they're coming back to the human diet
[37:57] they're coming back to the human diet and many other substances
[38:00] and many other substances We are adding into the soil just to
[38:02] We are adding into the soil just to increase the soil fertility just to
[38:03] increase the soil fertility just to increase the crop productivity. But all
[38:05] increase the crop productivity. But all those are bouncing back. They're coming
[38:07] those are bouncing back. They're coming back to the human diet. The third fourth
[38:09] back to the human diet. The third fourth one that is the overuse, misuse of the
[38:12] one that is the overuse, misuse of the nature and the natural sources there.
[38:14] nature and the natural sources there. Exploitation.
[38:17] It is the greed of the human being.
[38:20] It is the greed of the human being. And finally it is the invasive alien
[38:22] And finally it is the invasive alien species. the species which are not
[38:23] species. the species which are not native of that reason but they have been
[38:25] native of that reason but they have been imported and exported from the different
[38:27] imported and exported from the different parts of the world without consulting
[38:28] parts of the world without consulting the scientific community. That's why
[38:30] the scientific community. That's why kind of the imbalance is there because
[38:32] kind of the imbalance is there because those new imported species were exported
[38:34] those new imported species were exported species in the new area in the absence
[38:36] species in the new area in the absence of their natural enemy in the absence of
[38:38] of their natural enemy in the absence of their natural competitor. They may over
[38:41] their natural competitor. They may over produce they may reproduce in a very
[38:42] produce they may reproduce in a very large number that's why they threaten
[38:44] large number that's why they threaten the local and the neighbor species of
[38:46] the local and the neighbor species of that area or the native species of that
[38:48] that area or the native species of that area. So that is also one. So let us
[38:50] area. So that is also one. So let us take one by one individ.
[38:53] take one by one individ. The first one the first one is the
[38:55] The first one the first one is the habitat destruction.
[38:57] habitat destruction. You might have seen
[39:00] You might have seen every
[39:02] every various such program that is the
[39:04] various such program that is the construction of the road, the
[39:05] construction of the road, the construction of the building, the
[39:06] construction of the building, the construction of the various other dam
[39:08] construction of the various other dam hydroelectric power generation many more
[39:10] hydroelectric power generation many more programs are going.
[39:12] programs are going. How it is happening? It is happening at
[39:15] How it is happening? It is happening at the cost of the cutting of the tree. So
[39:17] the cost of the cutting of the tree. So the large number of the tree the huge
[39:19] the large number of the tree the huge number of the tree huge tall tree they
[39:22] number of the tree huge tall tree they are being cut just for the human
[39:23] are being cut just for the human civilization for the urbanization for
[39:26] civilization for the urbanization for the modernization.
[39:28] the modernization. It is only the tree species which are
[39:29] It is only the tree species which are being cut. It is only the tree which
[39:32] being cut. It is only the tree which flies us clean oxygenated air. It is
[39:34] flies us clean oxygenated air. It is only the tree which fly us the food
[39:35] only the tree which fly us the food also. It is the only tree which act as a
[39:38] also. It is the only tree which act as a beautiful shink for the carbon dioxide.
[39:40] beautiful shink for the carbon dioxide. You know the process of the carbon
[39:42] You know the process of the carbon sequestation which is going in the
[39:43] sequestation which is going in the nature and we are cutting all those tree
[39:45] nature and we are cutting all those tree just in a few hour. Those tree who took
[39:48] just in a few hour. Those tree who took 100 200 even the 400 year to develop
[39:50] 100 200 even the 400 year to develop that huge girth and we are cutting all
[39:52] that huge girth and we are cutting all those trees just in a few hours. Do you
[39:55] those trees just in a few hours. Do you think it is a civilization? Do you think
[39:56] think it is a civilization? Do you think it is urbanization? Do you think it is a
[39:58] it is urbanization? Do you think it is a modernization?
[40:02] It is a kind of the destruction and the
[40:03] It is a kind of the destruction and the devastation
[40:05] devastation because life vested in the plants.
[40:14] I'm not talking about the cooking
[40:18] I'm not talking about the cooking cooking is something different but be
[40:20] cooking is something different but be all the animal species be depends upon
[40:22] all the animal species be depends upon the plants for our food requirement
[40:25] the plants for our food requirement because we do not
[40:29] Dr. Magna say no can we
[40:33] Dr. Magna say no can we take our food can we synthesize our food
[40:36] take our food can we synthesize our food Dr.
[40:41] We cannot synthesize
[40:43] We cannot synthesize we all animal species we are actually
[40:46] we all animal species we are actually the consumer one the producer one are
[40:48] the consumer one the producer one are the only the plant species. Thank you.
[40:51] the only the plant species. Thank you. Consumers,
[40:57] it is presumed that that slug may be
[40:59] it is presumed that that slug may be able to synthesize its food. But
[41:01] able to synthesize its food. But otherwise that process is only present
[41:05] otherwise that process is only present in the plant world who utilize that
[41:07] in the plant world who utilize that carbon dioxide in the presence of the
[41:09] carbon dioxide in the presence of the sunlight and the chlorophyll and convert
[41:10] sunlight and the chlorophyll and convert it to the carbohydrate. The process of
[41:12] it to the carbohydrate. The process of the photosynthesis that you know and
[41:15] the photosynthesis that you know and that take that is taking place in the
[41:17] that take that is taking place in the plant world. So that's why these plants
[41:18] plant world. So that's why these plants are the producer and we are the consumer
[41:20] are the producer and we are the consumer one
[41:22] one and we are cutting all those trees just
[41:23] and we are cutting all those trees just for the human civilization. That's why I
[41:26] for the human civilization. That's why I said it is not a civilization. It is a
[41:28] said it is not a civilization. It is a kind of the destruction and the
[41:29] kind of the destruction and the devastation is there. And it is not only
[41:31] devastation is there. And it is not only happening in our country. Not only in
[41:33] happening in our country. Not only in our country it is happening everywhere
[41:35] our country it is happening everywhere in the world.
[41:37] in the world. Everywhere. It may be the government
[41:38] Everywhere. It may be the government sector. It may be the private sector. It
[41:40] sector. It may be the private sector. It may the forest mafia but it is only the
[41:43] may the forest mafia but it is only the tree which are being cut everywhere.
[41:45] tree which are being cut everywhere. Every year.
[41:47] Every year. So unfortunate it is these people don't
[41:50] So unfortunate it is these people don't even bother about the human life. Such
[41:53] even bother about the human life. Such incidents took place in the state of the
[41:54] incidents took place in the state of the Himachel when one forest guard was
[41:55] Himachel when one forest guard was mercilessly killed by the forest mafia.
[41:58] mercilessly killed by the forest mafia. It is so unfortunate thanks to the
[41:59] It is so unfortunate thanks to the honorable high court of the Himachel who
[42:00] honorable high court of the Himachel who took the somal cognance of that. Another
[42:04] took the somal cognance of that. Another thing you will be surprised to know that
[42:07] thing you will be surprised to know that I have a world report and that is
[42:10] I have a world report and that is revealing a very stunning results
[42:14] revealing a very stunning results in 1990
[42:18] approximately
[42:20] approximately 19.5%
[42:22] 19.5% green cover was present in the urban
[42:25] green cover was present in the urban area all over the world.
[42:28] area all over the world. all over the world.
[42:32] Urban all over the world.
[42:47] % decline in the green cover in urban
[42:51] % decline in the green cover in urban area all over the world has been
[42:54] area all over the world has been reported in the last 30 years.
[43:13] It is a matter of introspection.
[43:20] green
[43:23] green I'm not talking forest
[43:26] I'm not talking forest because of the the kind of urbanization
[43:29] because of the the kind of urbanization which is going on
[43:31] which is going on friend this is really very alarming
[43:33] friend this is really very alarming situation
[43:39] it is a matter of concern another very
[43:42] it is a matter of concern another very important factor you might have seen
[43:47] Thank you Dr.
[43:51] You can see many such areas are being
[43:53] You can see many such areas are being ablazed. They are put on fire.
[43:56] ablazed. They are put on fire. Every year we are watching that right
[43:58] Every year we are watching that right from Arunachal Pradesh to the Jammu and
[43:59] from Arunachal Pradesh to the Jammu and Kashmir whole of the Simalan belt is
[44:01] Kashmir whole of the Simalan belt is ablazed by the people just for their
[44:04] ablazed by the people just for their silly interest py interest
[44:06] silly interest py interest because report says that 99% of the
[44:10] because report says that 99% of the forest fire cases are actually
[44:12] forest fire cases are actually anthropogenic mediated. It is just 1%
[44:16] anthropogenic mediated. It is just 1% which may happen naturally
[44:18] which may happen naturally eruption
[44:22] otherwise 99% of the forest fire cases
[44:25] otherwise 99% of the forest fire cases they are actually manmed mediated
[44:31] we are putting that large area of the
[44:32] we are putting that large area of the forest under fire
[44:36] forest under fire and friend this forest fire
[44:39] and friend this forest fire this forest fire is the biggest enemy of
[44:42] this forest fire is the biggest enemy of the department
[44:46] forest fire
[44:48] forest fire because it does not leave anything
[44:49] because it does not leave anything behind that maybe any stage of the life
[44:52] behind that maybe any stage of the life larva adult seed seedling herb shrub
[44:56] larva adult seed seedling herb shrub tree whatever is there
[45:04] and not only that it even destroy the
[45:07] and not only that it even destroy the microorganism which are present on the
[45:09] microorganism which are present on the soil surface which are responsible for
[45:12] soil surface which are responsible for the you
[45:14] the you converting the fallen leaves and the
[45:15] converting the fallen leaves and the twigs into the humus. The process of the
[45:17] twigs into the humus. The process of the humification going in the nature that
[45:20] humification going in the nature that destroyable the microbes also. So
[45:22] destroyable the microbes also. So leaving behind a barren land that needs
[45:25] leaving behind a barren land that needs a country succession
[45:32] which need succession
[45:37] destruction
[45:43] by burning these various diversity it
[45:46] by burning these various diversity it emits a huge amount of the carbon
[45:48] emits a huge amount of the carbon dioxide into the nature.
[45:56] Huge amount of the carbon dioxide is
[45:58] Huge amount of the carbon dioxide is being emitted by the forest fire into
[46:00] being emitted by the forest fire into the nature and that carbon dioxide you
[46:02] the nature and that carbon dioxide you know that is a greenhouse gas that is
[46:05] know that is a greenhouse gas that is responsive for the global warming that
[46:07] responsive for the global warming that is responsible for this climate change
[46:11] is responsible for this climate change that's why I have said this is the
[46:13] that's why I have said this is the biggest enemy of the diversity
[46:15] biggest enemy of the diversity or universal problem
[46:19] or universal problem not the problem of our subcontinent And
[46:21] not the problem of our subcontinent And it is everywhere.
[46:23] it is everywhere. What was the situation in the month of
[46:25] What was the situation in the month of the January?
[46:29] Despite of that there was a huge forest
[46:31] Despite of that there was a huge forest fire in case of the Uttakan Nanda
[46:34] fire in case of the Uttakan Nanda biosphere reserve was threatened by the
[46:35] biosphere reserve was threatened by the huge forest fire in the month of
[46:39] huge forest fire in the month of very
[46:42] very true
[46:44] true and it is happening in other part of the
[46:45] and it is happening in other part of the world also. In 2024 there was a huge
[46:48] world also. In 2024 there was a huge forest fire in case of Draakand that was
[46:51] forest fire in case of Draakand that was being monitored by the ISRO Indian Space
[46:53] being monitored by the ISRO Indian Space Research Organization
[46:56] Research Organization not in our country. It is happening in
[46:58] not in our country. It is happening in other part of the world also. What
[47:00] other part of the world also. What happened in 2024? There was a huge
[47:03] happened in 2024? There was a huge forest fire in the
[47:05] forest fire in the California and the Los Angeles in the
[47:07] California and the Los Angeles in the United States. You know 25 very sad to
[47:11] United States. You know 25 very sad to say 25 innocent people lost their life
[47:13] say 25 innocent people lost their life in the Los Angeles fire.
[47:18] Same thing happened in the nine innocent
[47:21] Same thing happened in the nine innocent people lost their life because of the
[47:22] people lost their life because of the forest fire.
[47:24] forest fire. Bolivia government declared national
[47:26] Bolivia government declared national emergency in 2024 because of the forest
[47:30] emergency in 2024 because of the forest fire.
[47:47] So this is the global scenario of the
[47:49] So this is the global scenario of the forest firean
[47:54] forest fire is creating and friendly
[47:59] forest.
[48:04] There was a huge forest fire in the
[48:07] There was a huge forest fire in the present.
[48:09] present. Today is the 6th May 2026.
[48:12] Today is the 6th May 2026. Japan or Australia there is a huge bush
[48:16] Japan or Australia there is a huge bush fire and the forest fire is there
[48:23] helicopter say tons of the carrot has
[48:25] helicopter say tons of the carrot has been thrown in the forest in the
[48:28] been thrown in the forest in the Australia
[48:39] tons of the carrot have been that has
[48:42] tons of the carrot have been that has been spread by the Australian
[48:43] been spread by the Australian government. Same thing is there in the
[48:45] government. Same thing is there in the Japan having the huge forest fire. So it
[48:48] Japan having the huge forest fire. So it is not there that the forest is there in
[48:50] is not there that the forest is there in the fire is there in the Japan or
[48:51] the fire is there in the Japan or Australia and we are least concerned
[48:53] Australia and we are least concerned about no we feel concerned about that
[48:56] about no we feel concerned about that because air is common for each and
[48:58] because air is common for each and everyone. We are breathing that air also
[49:02] everyone. We are breathing that air also Canada
[49:06] that air is mixed there and we are
[49:08] that air is mixed there and we are inhaling we are breathing that
[49:09] inhaling we are breathing that contaminated air. So
[49:18] what happened in the in the month of the
[49:21] what happened in the in the month of the December and the January when there was
[49:24] December and the January when there was a huge volcanic eruption in the topia
[49:26] a huge volcanic eruption in the topia Gabby the ash of that Hallegabi reaches
[49:29] Gabby the ash of that Hallegabi reaches up to the valley and
[49:32] up to the valley and many flights in our country were
[49:33] many flights in our country were suspended and many flights were delayed
[49:35] suspended and many flights were delayed because of the poor visibility.
[49:40] So it is it is it is there it is
[49:42] So it is it is it is there it is happening. Dear friend
[49:45] happening. Dear friend such problems are actually worldwide
[49:48] such problems are actually worldwide problem. These are the worldwide
[49:50] problem. These are the worldwide problem.
[50:05] There was a protocol.
[50:09] protocol was there which become
[50:11] protocol was there which become effective on 2005 and thereafter the
[50:14] effective on 2005 and thereafter the salad Paris agreement
[50:18] salad Paris agreement that Paris agreement was signed by the
[50:22] that Paris agreement was signed by the 195 countries of the world on the sec uh
[50:25] 195 countries of the world on the sec uh 12th of the December
[50:27] 12th of the December 2015
[50:30] 2015 protocol almost similar decision which
[50:32] protocol almost similar decision which have been repeated in the Paris
[50:34] have been repeated in the Paris agreement
[50:46] protocol
[50:48] protocol protocol
[50:50] protocol we will cap the global warming by 1.5°
[51:00] same thing has happened in the Paris
[51:02] same thing has happened in the Paris agreement
[51:07] countries
[51:09] There should be a global warming of the
[51:11] There should be a global warming of the 1.5°
[51:13] 1.5° temperature. Two more important
[51:15] temperature. Two more important decisions were taken in the Paris
[51:16] decisions were taken in the Paris agreement. The second one was there
[51:19] agreement. The second one was there should be a reduction of the 1 billion t
[51:21] should be a reduction of the 1 billion t of the carbon dioxide by 2025.
[51:33] Achieve
[51:37] 43% reduction in the greenhouse gases
[51:41] 43% reduction in the greenhouse gases will be done by 2030
[51:55] whether we have executed that
[51:58] whether we have executed that or not.
[52:05] Chis
[52:23] in 2024
[52:25] in 2024 16% emission
[52:28] 16% emission more of the carbon dioxide
[52:37] that resulted 8.6 billion t of the
[52:40] that resulted 8.6 billion t of the carbon dioxide
[52:44] forest fireb
[52:54] forest fire 8.6 6 billion carbon
[52:57] forest fire 8.6 6 billion carbon dioxide.
[53:00] dioxide. Can you imagine?
[53:04] You will be surprised to know that 38.1
[53:09] You will be surprised to know that 38.1 billion t of the carbon dioxide we have
[53:12] billion t of the carbon dioxide we have added in year 2025.
[53:16] added in year 2025. By all activities, I'm not saying that
[53:18] By all activities, I'm not saying that it is only the forest. By all activities
[53:21] it is only the forest. By all activities we have contributed 38.1 million ton of
[53:25] we have contributed 38.1 million ton of governmention
[53:44] 8.6 6 billion t has been added
[53:47] 8.6 6 billion t has been added or cable total 38.1 billion t of the
[53:51] or cable total 38.1 billion t of the carbon dioxide we have added in the year
[53:55] carbon dioxide we have added in the year situation is very alarming the decision
[53:58] situation is very alarming the decision which we are taking at the international
[54:00] which we are taking at the international platform that must be implemented that
[54:04] platform that must be implemented that must be executed in the light and the
[54:06] must be executed in the light and the spirit
[54:08] spirit we have taken all those decision
[54:11] we have taken all those decision dear friend the another thing which is
[54:14] dear friend the another thing which is coming from this destruction of the
[54:17] coming from this destruction of the habitat that is the fragmentation,
[54:19] habitat that is the fragmentation, degeneration, devastation of the habitat
[54:21] degeneration, devastation of the habitat that is very important is the human
[54:23] that is very important is the human wildlife conflicts are there.
[54:26] wildlife conflicts are there. Human wildlife conflicts are there.
[54:30] Human wildlife conflicts are there. We have a reports from the Assam,
[54:32] We have a reports from the Assam, Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir also.
[54:36] Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir also. There is increased conflicts of the
[54:38] There is increased conflicts of the human and the white lives.
[54:40] human and the white lives. If you remember what happened just a few
[54:42] If you remember what happened just a few month back,
[54:44] month back, it is very unfortunate to quote that
[54:46] it is very unfortunate to quote that example because we have sympathy to
[54:48] example because we have sympathy to those people who lost their life. But
[54:50] those people who lost their life. But unfortunately what has happened in the
[54:52] unfortunately what has happened in the Uttar Pradesh in Bah 10 innocent people
[54:56] Uttar Pradesh in Bah 10 innocent people lost their life and certain furious wolf
[54:58] lost their life and certain furious wolf entered into the human
[55:03] later on those wolves were captured by
[55:04] later on those wolves were captured by the forest.
[55:06] the forest. I think five or six bull have been
[55:08] I think five or six bull have been captured. But do you think it is the
[55:10] captured. But do you think it is the encroachment of these wild animal the
[55:12] encroachment of these wild animal the human habitation or it is the
[55:14] human habitation or it is the encroachment of the human being in their
[55:15] encroachment of the human being in their own habitation
[55:20] these animals they are retaliating
[55:23] these animals they are retaliating they are retaliating that's why
[55:30] so this is the reason that the conflicts
[55:32] so this is the reason that the conflicts of the human and the wildlife they are
[55:34] of the human and the wildlife they are increasing day by day
[55:36] increasing day by day what happened on the 20th of the
[55:38] what happened on the 20th of the December 2020 35.
[55:44] A big herd of elephant has been hit by
[55:47] A big herd of elephant has been hit by the Rajani Express in Dasa. In that
[55:50] the Rajani Express in Dasa. In that case, eight elephants were crushed to
[55:52] case, eight elephants were crushed to the death.
[56:05] Same incident happened in the month of
[56:06] Same incident happened in the month of August last year. Three elephants were
[56:08] August last year. Three elephants were crushed to the death
[56:11] crushed to the death and many such reports are there from the
[56:13] and many such reports are there from the different parts that people are
[56:15] different parts that people are poisoning they are killing those
[56:17] poisoning they are killing those innocent animal for their certain uses
[56:20] innocent animal for their certain uses that may be ivory that may be dusk
[56:22] that may be ivory that may be dusk whatever the they are getting from them
[56:25] whatever the they are getting from them people are poisoning them they are
[56:26] people are poisoning them they are killing them
[56:28] killing them so this is very unfortunate which is
[56:30] so this is very unfortunate which is happening in the region
[56:32] happening in the region dear friend another very important
[56:34] dear friend another very important factor which I want to put before that
[56:36] factor which I want to put before that is the invasive alien species
[56:38] is the invasive alien species The species which are not native of that
[56:40] The species which are not native of that reason but they have been imported and
[56:41] reason but they have been imported and exported without consulting the
[56:43] exported without consulting the scientific community. And what is
[56:44] scientific community. And what is happening in the new area and the new
[56:46] happening in the new area and the new habitat in the absence of their natural
[56:48] habitat in the absence of their natural enemy and their competitive these
[56:49] enemy and their competitive these species multiply at a very faster rate
[56:51] species multiply at a very faster rate and that threaten the local and the
[56:53] and that threaten the local and the native species of that
[57:02] domestication was done by the people in
[57:05] domestication was done by the people in the rural area just for the yield of the
[57:07] the rural area just for the yield of the honey and
[57:15] that population of that bee has been
[57:17] that population of that bee has been dwindled.
[57:21] There may be certain other factors also.
[57:24] There may be certain other factors also. One of the major reasons is the be
[57:26] One of the major reasons is the be imported a bee from the Italy European
[57:32] imported a bee from the Italy European that is
[57:39] capacity
[57:41] capacity that bee is actually larger in size,
[57:43] that bee is actually larger in size, more aggressive, having the more
[57:45] more aggressive, having the more production of the honey and more
[57:47] production of the honey and more production of the wax is there.
[57:53] Being larger in size, being aggressive,
[57:56] Being larger in size, being aggressive, that bee is actually killing a brindian
[57:58] that bee is actually killing a brindian bee that is the episan. And our Indian
[58:00] bee that is the episan. And our Indian bee is very small, very dosile, small in
[58:03] bee is very small, very dosile, small in size. And you know why it is right. This
[58:07] size. And you know why it is right. This is one of the reason also.
[58:09] is one of the reason also. This is one of the reason that
[58:11] This is one of the reason that population of this epistlanica has been.
[58:14] population of this epistlanica has been. Same thing has happened with the many
[58:15] Same thing has happened with the many other species being imported the
[58:17] other species being imported the European carp. Consequently, the
[58:18] European carp. Consequently, the population of the Indian carp has been
[58:20] population of the Indian carp has been gone down.
[58:24] Yes, it is happening.
[58:27] Yes, it is happening. Many such plant species are there now
[58:29] Many such plant species are there now which has become the major be problem.
[58:31] which has become the major be problem. You might have seen the congress grass
[58:32] You might have seen the congress grass is there. Parththenium growing on the
[58:34] is there. Parththenium growing on the sides of the road on the agriculture
[58:35] sides of the road on the agriculture land on the baseline. This white color
[58:37] land on the baseline. This white color fl
[58:39] fl this bead is there but incidentally this
[58:41] this bead is there but incidentally this this bead actually came from Mexico
[58:45] this bead actually came from Mexico incidentally
[58:46] incidentally it was not imported when we imported the
[58:49] it was not imported when we imported the wheat from the Mexico. So that's why it
[58:50] wheat from the Mexico. So that's why it is known as the Mexican bead also. So
[58:52] is known as the Mexican bead also. So seeds of this bead also came along with
[58:54] seeds of this bead also came along with the wheat seed. But we are suffer now.
[58:58] the wheat seed. But we are suffer now. There was no proper screening at that
[58:59] There was no proper screening at that time. But another plant species which I
[59:01] time. But another plant species which I want to put before you that was not a
[59:06] want to put before you that was not a incident that was imported as a
[59:09] incident that was imported as a ornamental plant
[59:12] ornamental plant because of its beautiful flower
[59:15] because of its beautiful flower that is the lent in a camera
[59:20] and at present it has become a major be
[59:22] and at present it has become a major be problem in country. Friends, can you
[59:24] problem in country. Friends, can you imagine 40% of the Indian tiger habitat
[59:27] imagine 40% of the Indian tiger habitat have been occupied by this latina
[59:29] have been occupied by this latina camera?
[59:31] camera? This is the situation.
[59:34] This is the situation. At present, we have a very strong
[59:36] At present, we have a very strong biocurity law. We have a very strong
[59:38] biocurity law. We have a very strong national and international quarantines
[59:40] national and international quarantines law without the prior permission of this
[59:43] law without the prior permission of this competent body. We cannot import and
[59:46] competent body. We cannot import and exports of living things of certain
[59:48] exports of living things of certain seeds from one place to another place.
[59:53] implementation. So this has happened in
[59:55] implementation. So this has happened in the past. Actually another thing which
[59:57] the past. Actually another thing which is at present threatening which is the
[59:59] is at present threatening which is the third factor that is the various kinds
[01:00:01] third factor that is the various kinds of the substances which we are adding
[01:00:03] of the substances which we are adding into the department.
[01:00:05] into the department. About four to five year back there was a
[01:00:07] About four to five year back there was a news from the Russia that many part of
[01:00:09] news from the Russia that many part of the Russia received the acid rain and
[01:00:11] the Russia received the acid rain and the black snow. acid rain and the black
[01:00:16] the black snow. acid rain and the black snow.
[01:00:25] There is a huge threats of this black
[01:00:28] There is a huge threats of this black rain in the Iran in the Israel because
[01:00:33] rain in the Iran in the Israel because hazard substances they are there in the
[01:00:35] hazard substances they are there in the atmosphere because of the war between
[01:00:37] atmosphere because of the war between the two countries. So there is a threat
[01:00:40] the two countries. So there is a threat of that substance but the acetone is
[01:00:42] of that substance but the acetone is there
[01:00:51] but that formation of the acid in the
[01:00:53] but that formation of the acid in the nature is in the fraction
[01:00:59] that sulfur dioxide combined with the
[01:01:00] that sulfur dioxide combined with the water vapor in the nature and forms the
[01:01:02] water vapor in the nature and forms the H2SO4 which is known as the sulfuric
[01:01:04] H2SO4 which is known as the sulfuric acid that is very fraction combined.
[01:01:08] acid that is very fraction combined. The major amount of this acid is coming
[01:01:12] The major amount of this acid is coming from the human activity. Other
[01:01:14] from the human activity. Other industries they are meeting the oxides
[01:01:16] industries they are meeting the oxides of the sulfur they are meeting the
[01:01:18] of the sulfur they are meeting the oxides of the nitrogen and these oxide
[01:01:20] oxides of the nitrogen and these oxide when combined with the water vapor in
[01:01:22] when combined with the water vapor in the atmosphere results in the formation
[01:01:23] the atmosphere results in the formation of the H2SO4 result in the formation of
[01:01:26] of the H2SO4 result in the formation of the HNO3. So whether it is a sulfuric
[01:01:28] the HNO3. So whether it is a sulfuric acid, it is a nitric acid they are very
[01:01:30] acid, it is a nitric acid they are very harmful very corrosive very degrading in
[01:01:34] harmful very corrosive very degrading in the nature to the animal species to the
[01:01:38] the nature to the animal species to the fal diversity to the floral diversity to
[01:01:40] fal diversity to the floral diversity to the microbial diversity and even to the
[01:01:43] the microbial diversity and even to the monuments like that may be the taj in
[01:01:46] monuments like that may be the taj in Agra that may be certain other building
[01:01:48] Agra that may be certain other building that certain other monuments are there
[01:01:49] that certain other monuments are there because acid is very corrosive to these
[01:01:52] because acid is very corrosive to these marble.
[01:01:54] marble. So this is the threat.
[01:02:03] So many such uh recommendations were
[01:02:05] So many such uh recommendations were given by the scientific community and
[01:02:07] given by the scientific community and one of them was to plant more tuli in
[01:02:12] one of them was to plant more tuli in and around the a
[01:02:14] and around the a tuli is a wonderful air purifier. So,
[01:02:19] so these are some of the factor
[01:02:25] those substances are actually very
[01:02:27] those substances are actually very harmful definitely they will come back
[01:02:29] harmful definitely they will come back to the earth and they are actually may
[01:02:32] to the earth and they are actually may cause the irritation that may cause the
[01:02:33] cause the irritation that may cause the skin problem that may cause the
[01:02:34] skin problem that may cause the cancerous certain hazards pollutants are
[01:02:37] cancerous certain hazards pollutants are there in that
[01:02:39] there in that it is happening. So who has done that?
[01:02:42] it is happening. So who has done that? We people. Dear friend, you might have
[01:02:45] We people. Dear friend, you might have seen in a agriculture system, we are
[01:02:47] seen in a agriculture system, we are adding the large number of the chemical
[01:02:48] adding the large number of the chemical and the fertilizers.
[01:02:50] and the fertilizers. They are being added into the soil just
[01:02:52] They are being added into the soil just to increase the crop productivity just
[01:02:53] to increase the crop productivity just to enhance the soil fertility
[01:02:56] to enhance the soil fertility and to get rid the problem of the insect
[01:02:58] and to get rid the problem of the insect pest and other predator. We are using
[01:03:00] pest and other predator. We are using such large number of the chemical as
[01:03:02] such large number of the chemical as I've told that insecticide, pesticide,
[01:03:04] I've told that insecticide, pesticide, necticide, fungicide, oricide, bicide
[01:03:07] necticide, fungicide, oricide, bicide such chemicals are being used. But all
[01:03:10] such chemicals are being used. But all those chemical they are bouncing back.
[01:03:12] those chemical they are bouncing back. They are coming back to the human dining
[01:03:13] They are coming back to the human dining table. That's why they affecting the
[01:03:14] table. That's why they affecting the human
[01:03:20] because of the contamination of the
[01:03:21] because of the contamination of the water. The various chemical which we
[01:03:23] water. The various chemical which we have used in agriculture system by leing
[01:03:25] have used in agriculture system by leing they go down to the stream they go down
[01:03:26] they go down to the stream they go down to the water body and whatever the life
[01:03:28] to the water body and whatever the life is present they are being killed every
[01:03:30] is present they are being killed every year because they contaminate the water.
[01:03:32] year because they contaminate the water. They increase the COD level of the
[01:03:33] They increase the COD level of the water. They increase the BOD level of
[01:03:34] water. They increase the BOD level of the water. They increase the aftertoxin
[01:03:37] the water. They increase the aftertoxin or we can say the contamination of the
[01:03:38] or we can say the contamination of the water. And finally the atriofication of
[01:03:40] water. And finally the atriofication of the what is going on that's why that is
[01:03:42] the what is going on that's why that is killing all that life present inside the
[01:03:44] killing all that life present inside the body
[01:03:47] body what happened in the Madhya Pradesh
[01:03:49] what happened in the Madhya Pradesh example
[01:03:53] December
[01:03:57] 2nd December 1984 that bopal gas trendy
[01:04:00] 2nd December 1984 that bopal gas trendy what was that union carbide
[01:04:04] what was that union carbide that was a pesticide factory with the
[01:04:07] that was a pesticide factory with the leakage of the methile And I saw signate
[01:04:09] leakage of the methile And I saw signate that highly nerve poisonous gas more
[01:04:12] that highly nerve poisonous gas more than 16,000 innocent people lost their
[01:04:14] than 16,000 innocent people lost their life. Still the people of that area they
[01:04:17] life. Still the people of that area they are suffer they having certain deformity
[01:04:19] are suffer they having certain deformity in their body. Who is responsible for
[01:04:21] in their body. Who is responsible for that?
[01:04:28] We are the sufferer of that.
[01:04:31] We are the sufferer of that. It is so unfortunate.
[01:04:34] It is so unfortunate. So whatever the chemical whatever the
[01:04:36] So whatever the chemical whatever the various such poisonous substances we are
[01:04:37] various such poisonous substances we are using somehow they are coming back to
[01:04:40] using somehow they are coming back to the human
[01:04:42] the human dining table or the various trophic
[01:04:44] dining table or the various trophic level that's why they are affecting our
[01:04:46] level that's why they are affecting our health we are suffering of the many such
[01:04:48] health we are suffering of the many such diseases
[01:05:02] many such adulteration. Many such
[01:05:04] many such adulteration. Many such contemptations are there
[01:05:07] contemptations are there that innocent family
[01:05:12] and there was a kind of the
[01:05:13] and there was a kind of the contemptation in that watermelon
[01:05:19] just to have a few monetary benefits.
[01:05:35] This is what the other people are also
[01:05:36] This is what the other people are also doing.
[01:05:45] Is there contamination is there. It is
[01:05:47] Is there contamination is there. It is so unfortunate friend because
[01:05:59] those vapors, those fumes, those
[01:06:02] those vapors, those fumes, those chemical substances.
[01:06:17] So there is a need to realize what we
[01:06:20] So there is a need to realize what we are doing.
[01:06:23] are doing. One very important thing
[01:06:27] now is the his governor of the Gujarat.
[01:06:29] now is the his governor of the Gujarat. He's the man who is promoting the
[01:06:30] He's the man who is promoting the organic farming.
[01:06:35] They are making the people aware. Yes.
[01:06:37] They are making the people aware. Yes. To proceed toward the organic farming.
[01:06:52] There was a very good production of the
[01:06:54] There was a very good production of the agriculture system
[01:06:57] agriculture system in 1960s.
[01:07:18] green revolution. So credit goes to the
[01:07:21] green revolution. So credit goes to the MS Swami Natanji and the American
[01:07:23] MS Swami Natanji and the American counterpart that is the Norman Bodhu.
[01:07:26] counterpart that is the Norman Bodhu. Under their leadership, we have achieved
[01:07:27] Under their leadership, we have achieved the first green revolution in India. But
[01:07:30] the first green revolution in India. But that was happen at the cost of the
[01:07:31] that was happen at the cost of the chemical and the fertilizer. And now our
[01:07:33] chemical and the fertilizer. And now our honorable prime minister is saying that
[01:07:35] honorable prime minister is saying that we need a second green revolution in
[01:07:36] we need a second green revolution in India because we know that we have ever
[01:07:38] India because we know that we have ever increasing population against the
[01:07:40] increasing population against the constant land mass. So we have to fit
[01:07:42] constant land mass. So we have to fit that ever increasing population. So we
[01:07:44] that ever increasing population. So we need a second green revolution but we do
[01:07:46] need a second green revolution but we do not want the revolution at the cost of
[01:07:48] not want the revolution at the cost of the chemical and the fertilizer. We need
[01:07:51] the chemical and the fertilizer. We need a ever green revolution. That revolution
[01:07:54] a ever green revolution. That revolution at the cost of only the manure, only by
[01:07:59] at the cost of only the manure, only by organic way.
[01:08:10] layer which can trap the atmospheric
[01:08:12] layer which can trap the atmospheric nitrogen and convert into the various
[01:08:14] nitrogen and convert into the various form of the nitrate and the nitrate
[01:08:19] chemical toxicant. We have degraded
[01:08:21] chemical toxicant. We have degraded their population. Their population has
[01:08:23] their population. Their population has gone down. We have to revive that biota.
[01:08:31] Those microorganism will be there will
[01:08:34] Those microorganism will be there will achieve that level of the agriculture
[01:08:37] achieve that level of the agriculture production. So there is there is a need
[01:08:39] production. So there is there is a need of that. Anyhow friend take another
[01:08:44] of that. Anyhow friend take another parameter that is you know the another
[01:08:46] parameter that is you know the another kind of the substances which we adding
[01:08:48] kind of the substances which we adding into the nature that is the plastic
[01:08:49] into the nature that is the plastic waste. You might have seen these
[01:08:52] waste. You might have seen these polythin bags are there being scattered
[01:08:54] polythin bags are there being scattered hither and either on the sides of the
[01:08:56] hither and either on the sides of the road or agricultural land of the
[01:08:57] road or agricultural land of the baselines.
[01:08:59] baselines. Who has created it? We people for our
[01:09:02] Who has created it? We people for our convenience we have created this
[01:09:03] convenience we have created this polytheine poly steering poly propylene.
[01:09:07] polytheine poly steering poly propylene. Many such polythines are there. They are
[01:09:09] Many such polythines are there. They are being used in the human society
[01:09:11] being used in the human society everywhere. You can see
[01:09:13] everywhere. You can see everywhere. But now this polytheine has
[01:09:16] everywhere. But now this polytheine has become the major problem not only in our
[01:09:19] become the major problem not only in our country in other parts of the world
[01:09:21] country in other parts of the world also.
[01:09:34] We have to celebrate each and every day
[01:09:37] We have to celebrate each and every day as a world.
[01:09:46] In 23 when there was a 50th anniversary
[01:09:48] In 23 when there was a 50th anniversary of the world empowerment day, United
[01:09:50] of the world empowerment day, United Nation gave a slogan there must be some
[01:09:52] Nation gave a slogan there must be some solution to the plastic pollution. It
[01:09:54] solution to the plastic pollution. It means not only we are suffer all of the
[01:09:56] means not only we are suffer all of the world is suffered of this plastic waste
[01:09:58] world is suffered of this plastic waste pollution. We have to explore some
[01:10:01] pollution. We have to explore some substitute of this poly
[01:10:04] substitute of this poly some substitute of the polythes is
[01:10:05] some substitute of the polythes is required.
[01:10:07] required. There is no doubt in that people are
[01:10:09] There is no doubt in that people are working on the certain microbes certain
[01:10:10] working on the certain microbes certain bacteria certain fungi are there which
[01:10:12] bacteria certain fungi are there which can utilize which can degrade this
[01:10:17] can utilize which can degrade this comprehensive success
[01:10:20] comprehensive success just results are there. Some people are
[01:10:23] just results are there. Some people are claiming that
[01:10:28] dear friend this plastic is such a very
[01:10:33] dear friend this plastic is such a very dangerous substance. It is responsible
[01:10:36] dangerous substance. It is responsible for the many such dreadful disease in
[01:10:38] for the many such dreadful disease in the human even malignancy and the cancer
[01:10:41] the human even malignancy and the cancer is there.
[01:10:44] is there. You will be surprised to know that
[01:10:47] You will be surprised to know that report
[01:10:54] March
[01:10:56] March New York school of medicine has revealed
[01:10:59] New York school of medicine has revealed that 90% of the prostate cancer you
[01:11:04] that 90% of the prostate cancer you might be knowing about this is a kind of
[01:11:05] might be knowing about this is a kind of the cancerous growth in case of the male
[01:11:07] the cancerous growth in case of the male human being. So 90% of the prostate
[01:11:10] human being. So 90% of the prostate cancer in the human being they are
[01:11:12] cancer in the human being they are actually because of the certain
[01:11:14] actually because of the certain microplastic mediated
[01:11:18] New York school of medicines reporting
[01:11:25] 90% of the prostate cancer that was
[01:11:28] 90% of the prostate cancer that was because of the certain plastic mediator
[01:11:36] report
[01:11:38] report that has been revealed by the scientific
[01:11:40] that has been revealed by the scientific community of the Vana Austia.
[01:11:42] community of the Vana Austia. What they have revealed that they have
[01:11:45] What they have revealed that they have revealed that it may be the milk, it may
[01:11:48] revealed that it may be the milk, it may be the cur, it may be the junk food,
[01:11:51] be the cur, it may be the junk food, they are being wrapped in the plastic
[01:11:52] they are being wrapped in the plastic pouches
[01:11:55] pouches and many other plastics are there in the
[01:11:58] and many other plastics are there in the air.
[01:12:06] community.
[01:12:09] community. These microplastics are there in the air
[01:12:11] These microplastics are there in the air and we are inhaling them and these
[01:12:14] and we are inhaling them and these microplastic they interfere with the
[01:12:17] microplastic they interfere with the alvol the lungs tissu alvolar tissue
[01:12:21] alvol the lungs tissu alvolar tissue alvoli. So they are interfering with the
[01:12:23] alvoli. So they are interfering with the alvoli of the lungs that's why they are
[01:12:25] alvoli of the lungs that's why they are responsible for certain unusual growth
[01:12:28] responsible for certain unusual growth that may be the tumor that may be the
[01:12:31] that may be the tumor that may be the cancer that may be something else
[01:12:35] cancer that may be something else because that impair the oxygen carrying
[01:12:36] because that impair the oxygen carrying capacity of the lungs they stimulate
[01:12:38] capacity of the lungs they stimulate they aggregate them
[01:12:41] they aggregate them and it is responsible for the lung
[01:12:43] and it is responsible for the lung cancer also
[01:12:45] report
[01:12:51] one I have told of the US school of
[01:12:52] one I have told of the US school of medicine. Second I told of the
[01:12:54] medicine. Second I told of the scientific community of the Vanostia and
[01:12:56] scientific community of the Vanostia and the third report is from the Indian
[01:12:57] the third report is from the Indian subcontinent but they have revealed that
[01:13:00] subcontinent but they have revealed that 1 kilogram of the sea salt I'm talking
[01:13:02] 1 kilogram of the sea salt I'm talking about the sea salt not the rock salt
[01:13:06] about the sea salt not the rock salt even the branded salt 1 kilogram of the
[01:13:09] even the branded salt 1 kilogram of the sea salt may contain 50 microlastic in
[01:13:18] the plastic which we have thrown hither
[01:13:20] the plastic which we have thrown hither and hither by flowing that go down to
[01:13:22] and hither by flowing that go down to the steam to the river and ultimately
[01:13:24] the steam to the river and ultimately went to the sea where the
[01:13:25] went to the sea where the crystallization of the salt was taking
[01:13:27] crystallization of the salt was taking place. This particle the microplastic
[01:13:30] place. This particle the microplastic was incorporated in that sodium chloride
[01:13:32] was incorporated in that sodium chloride crystal and now we are consuming all
[01:13:34] crystal and now we are consuming all those along with the salt.
[01:13:39] those along with the salt. along with the salt.
[01:13:46] Who is responsible? Be people. Dear
[01:13:49] Who is responsible? Be people. Dear friend, plastic is there in the air.
[01:13:51] friend, plastic is there in the air. Plastic is there in the water. Plastic
[01:13:53] Plastic is there in the water. Plastic is there in the soil. Plastic is there
[01:13:55] is there in the soil. Plastic is there in our community.
[01:14:04] It is not being degraded by the other
[01:14:07] It is not being degraded by the other various processes and the various other
[01:14:09] various processes and the various other microbes.
[01:14:10] microbes. So don't you think we need a a stern
[01:14:13] So don't you think we need a a stern action to stop the uses of this plastic?
[01:14:17] action to stop the uses of this plastic? There is a dire need
[01:14:19] There is a dire need there is a dire need to stop the uses of
[01:14:21] there is a dire need to stop the uses of this plastic. And in that way I would
[01:14:25] this plastic. And in that way I would like to put before you that Himachel
[01:14:27] like to put before you that Himachel Pradesh is very lucky that we were
[01:14:29] Pradesh is very lucky that we were having a visionary chief minister in the
[01:14:31] having a visionary chief minister in the past. I'm quoting this man because he is
[01:14:34] past. I'm quoting this man because he is from the academic fraternity. He was a

[01:14:39] professor in the system of the higher education. He was well aware what is
[01:14:42] education. He was well aware what is more important whether it is the revenue
[01:14:43] more important whether it is the revenue to the government or it is the health of
[01:14:45] to the government or it is the health of the people. Fortunately he become the
[01:14:47] the people. Fortunately he become the chief minister of the state. On 2nd of
[01:14:50] chief minister of the state. On 2nd of October 209 on that opus opuspicious day
[01:14:52] October 209 on that opus opuspicious day of the Mahatma Gandhi and Nal Madras
[01:14:54] of the Mahatma Gandhi and Nal Madras Jetti is the man who officially banned
[01:14:57] Jetti is the man who officially banned the polyin the state of the imatal
[01:15:01] the polyin the state of the imatal become the first state in the country
[01:15:02] become the first state in the country who officially banned the polytheine and
[01:15:04] who officially banned the polytheine and first state among the Southeast Asia who
[01:15:05] first state among the Southeast Asia who won the carbon credit we need such type
[01:15:08] won the carbon credit we need such type of the decision
[01:15:11] of the decision otherwise this plastic is is there it
[01:15:15] otherwise this plastic is is there it has invaded the human you know the food
[01:15:18] has invaded the human you know the food chain
[01:15:19] chain It is coming to the human dining table
[01:15:21] It is coming to the human dining table also. One more thing the present
[01:15:23] also. One more thing the present government in the state has done very
[01:15:25] government in the state has done very good thing. They have banned the 250 and
[01:15:27] good thing. They have banned the 250 and the 500 ml plastic bottles and a new
[01:15:31] the 500 ml plastic bottles and a new policy which has been started that is
[01:15:33] policy which has been started that is the buyback policy of the policy.
[01:15:36] the buyback policy of the policy. The milk pies and the junk food wrappers
[01:15:38] The milk pies and the junk food wrappers are being purchased by the government at
[01:15:40] are being purchased by the government at the rate of the 75 rupee per kg. People
[01:15:43] the rate of the 75 rupee per kg. People are getting the nominal amount. But the
[01:15:45] are getting the nominal amount. But the more important is that now that
[01:15:47] more important is that now that polytheine is not to be scattered either
[01:15:49] polytheine is not to be scattered either and either they are being taken by the
[01:15:50] and either they are being taken by the government and being disposed of their
[01:15:52] government and being disposed of their own at one place that is the centralized
[01:15:54] own at one place that is the centralized place. So that is important. We need we
[01:15:58] place. So that is important. We need we need that till we have some substitute
[01:16:00] need that till we have some substitute of this polytheine there should be a
[01:16:02] of this polytheine there should be a kind of the proper disposable system. We
[01:16:05] kind of the proper disposable system. We need that disposal system otherwise
[01:16:07] need that disposal system otherwise friend all these pollutants which are
[01:16:10] friend all these pollutants which are present in the nature which are present
[01:16:11] present in the nature which are present in the environment they are interfering
[01:16:13] in the environment they are interfering with the well-being of the
[01:16:16] with the well-being of the interfering
[01:16:19] interfering just two month back what the situation
[01:16:22] just two month back what the situation in the month of the December and the
[01:16:24] in the month of the December and the January there was a lot of UN cry the
[01:16:28] January there was a lot of UN cry the AQI of the Delhi even the Hana even the
[01:16:30] AQI of the Delhi even the Hana even the Punjab even the adjoining area the Uttar
[01:16:33] Punjab even the adjoining area the Uttar Pradesh it was fluctuating achieve
[01:16:34] Pradesh it was fluctuating achieve between 3 to 400 4 to 500 even more than
[01:16:37] between 3 to 400 4 to 500 even more than 500 was there
[01:16:39] 500 was there more than 500 AQI was there air quality
[01:16:42] more than 500 AQI was there air quality index was very bad people who is having
[01:16:46] index was very bad people who is having co-mobility who is having certain
[01:16:47] co-mobility who is having certain respiratory problem it was very
[01:16:48] respiratory problem it was very difficult to breathe under those
[01:16:50] difficult to breathe under those circumstances
[01:16:52] circumstances yes
[01:16:54] yes we have a right to breathe at clean
[01:16:55] we have a right to breathe at clean oxygen today
[01:17:01] but we were not getting that
[01:17:06] But who has contaminated that? Who has
[01:17:08] But who has contaminated that? Who has done that? Again, no one came from the
[01:17:11] done that? Again, no one came from the planet. It is with the human being.
[01:17:16] We have contaminated, we have
[01:17:17] We have contaminated, we have deteriorated that year. That's why we
[01:17:20] deteriorated that year. That's why we are inhaling that contaminated
[01:17:25] sometime we blame the other people.
[01:17:31] Pradesh.
[01:17:33] Pradesh. It happened because of the burning of
[01:17:35] It happened because of the burning of the stubbles.
[01:17:40] It is not the burning of the friend.
[01:17:43] It is not the burning of the friend. Science student
[01:17:46] Science student farmers are not responsible for
[01:17:48] farmers are not responsible for contamination of this year.
[01:17:50] contamination of this year. Contamination is some from some
[01:17:51] Contamination is some from some somewhere else. Sometime we blame the
[01:17:54] somewhere else. Sometime we blame the people particular segment of the
[01:17:56] people particular segment of the society. They use the cracker.
[01:18:02] Not because of that.
[01:18:05] Not because of that. Not because of that.
[01:18:08] Not because of that. There is a need to explore.
[01:18:12] There is a need to explore. There is a need to explore what is the
[01:18:14] There is a need to explore what is the root cause of that.
[01:18:17] root cause of that. Dear friend,
[01:18:20] Dear friend, sorry. Use of the cracker may
[01:18:23] sorry. Use of the cracker may contaminate just 1 to 5%.
[01:18:26] contaminate just 1 to 5%. They may create the 1 to 5% of the
[01:18:28] They may create the 1 to 5% of the pollution. That also depends upon the
[01:18:29] pollution. That also depends upon the season and the location of the year.
[01:18:33] season and the location of the year. Burning of the stubble say 1 to 17%
[01:18:36] Burning of the stubble say 1 to 17% contamination is there a fraction is
[01:18:37] contamination is there a fraction is there that also depends upon the
[01:18:39] there that also depends upon the location and the season
[01:18:42] location and the season you know from where the major pollution
[01:18:44] you know from where the major pollution come
[01:18:46] come the major pollution is coming
[01:18:50] the major pollution is coming from the some other factors
[01:18:54] from the some other factors that is 52% of the pollution is coming
[01:18:57] that is 52% of the pollution is coming from the industries
[01:19:01] 27% of the pollution is coming from the
[01:19:03] 27% of the pollution is coming from the vehicle emission.
[01:19:06] vehicle emission. 8 to 10% of the pollution is coming from
[01:19:09] 8 to 10% of the pollution is coming from the constructive activity that may be
[01:19:11] the constructive activity that may be the construction of the building,
[01:19:13] the construction of the building, construction of the roads and many other
[01:19:15] construction of the roads and many other such construction is going on.
[01:19:18] such construction is going on. Now
[01:19:21] bhavan plus
[01:19:26] it is almost 90%.
[01:19:28] it is almost 90%. So friend 90% of the pollution is coming
[01:19:30] So friend 90% of the pollution is coming from these three factors%
[01:19:35] burning of the stubble percent use of
[01:19:38] burning of the stubble percent use of the crackers% other kind of the
[01:19:41] the crackers% other kind of the pollution there.
[01:19:43] pollution there. We are unnecessarily blaming the
[01:19:45] We are unnecessarily blaming the farmers.
[01:20:00] Dear friend
[01:20:03] Dear friend is transparency I have put the three
[01:20:05] is transparency I have put the three different picture
[01:20:07] different picture same pictures of the different period of
[01:20:09] same pictures of the different period of the time
[01:20:12] the time the three pictures
[01:20:15] the three pictures they are of the period
[01:20:19] they are actually the post and the
[01:20:21] they are actually the post and the precoid period period.
[01:20:23] precoid period period. What happened in the period?
[01:20:28] There was a complete shutdown of the
[01:20:29] There was a complete shutdown of the industries
[01:20:31] industries there was a complete stoppage of the
[01:20:32] there was a complete stoppage of the vehicle.
[01:20:34] vehicle. It was a kind of the lockdown and you
[01:20:37] It was a kind of the lockdown and you can see the sky was so clear. The
[01:20:40] can see the sky was so clear. The greenhouse effect was gone to the
[01:20:41] greenhouse effect was gone to the minimum level and the people from the
[01:20:43] minimum level and the people from the Punjab and the Hana and other from the
[01:20:45] Punjab and the Hana and other from the different part they were able to
[01:20:46] different part they were able to visualize the Himalaya that is the
[01:20:48] visualize the Himalaya that is the Dalatar region.
[01:20:50] Dalatar region. It has happened.
[01:20:56] What is the situation in the
[01:20:59] What is the situation in the we have a very greenhouse effect? Sky is
[01:21:02] we have a very greenhouse effect? Sky is so clear.
[01:21:04] so clear. So COVID period
[01:21:12] factories were totally shut down. So the
[01:21:15] factories were totally shut down. So the there was a period for the rejuvenation
[01:21:17] there was a period for the rejuvenation of the environment and the biodiversity.
[01:21:25] So friend that is the main reason
[01:21:28] So friend that is the main reason industries and the other pollution that
[01:21:31] industries and the other pollution that is there there in the region. One more
[01:21:33] is there there in the region. One more thing which I want to put before you
[01:21:35] thing which I want to put before you sometime the nature is also responsible.
[01:21:42] situation
[01:21:44] situation because of the geographical location of
[01:21:46] because of the geographical location of that dome-shaped area it is surrounded
[01:21:48] that dome-shaped area it is surrounded by the different parts the air that
[01:21:50] by the different parts the air that remain that circulate in that reason you
[01:21:53] remain that circulate in that reason you know the very important is that that is
[01:21:56] know the very important is that that is friend the temperature inversion is
[01:21:58] friend the temperature inversion is there
[01:22:03] Mercury is dipping down you know the air
[01:22:06] Mercury is dipping down you know the air become more and more dense
[01:22:11] the particle remains suspended in the
[01:22:14] the particle remains suspended in the air for the longer period of the time.
[01:22:17] air for the longer period of the time. And the third thing is that the low
[01:22:19] And the third thing is that the low precipitation
[01:22:27] after the rain no one is talking about
[01:22:29] after the rain no one is talking about the EQI
[01:22:33] after rain that has been gone down with
[01:22:36] after rain that has been gone down with the
[01:22:39] the now the sky becomes so clear.
[01:22:46] So after rain no one is talking about
[01:22:48] So after rain no one is talking about the AQ in Delhi or any part. So
[01:22:56] become more and more. So these are the
[01:22:59] become more and more. So these are the facts
[01:23:07] but it it has not happened because of
[01:23:09] but it it has not happened because of that. Although it is very unfortunate
[01:23:12] that. Although it is very unfortunate because they are also human being but
[01:23:14] because they are also human being but this is fact actually this has happened.
[01:23:25] Can you imagine what was the AQI of the
[01:23:27] Can you imagine what was the AQI of the Mulan in Pakistan on the 14th and the
[01:23:29] Mulan in Pakistan on the 14th and the 15th November 2024
[01:23:36] 2553
[01:23:38] 2553 AQI has been reported in the Mulan and
[01:23:40] AQI has been reported in the Mulan and Pakistan highest ever.
[01:23:44] Pakistan highest ever. What was the situation?
[01:23:46] What was the situation? Who said that it is very difficult to
[01:23:48] Who said that it is very difficult to differentiate the people of the Mulan
[01:23:50] differentiate the people of the Mulan they are breathing or they are smoking?
[01:23:53] they are breathing or they are smoking? The air was 190 time toxic on those
[01:23:56] The air was 190 time toxic on those days.
[01:24:06] We are the product of that organic
[01:24:07] We are the product of that organic evolution.
[01:24:09] evolution. How difficult for those people to
[01:24:11] How difficult for those people to breathe under such circumstances.
[01:24:14] breathe under such circumstances. Highest ever AQI has been reported in
[01:24:16] Highest ever AQI has been reported in the Mutan Pakistan
[01:24:19] the Mutan Pakistan or interesting is that they do not even
[01:24:21] or interesting is that they do not even celebrate the Diab
[01:24:27] then what happened? What was the reason
[01:24:29] then what happened? What was the reason of that contamination?
[01:24:31] of that contamination? Who has done that?
[01:24:41] contribution but it is not solely or
[01:24:45] contribution but it is not solely or exclusively responsive for the content.
[01:24:51] What was the reason of that?
[01:24:55] What was the reason of that? Dear friend
[01:24:58] Dear friend adjoining to the Mulan is a Punjab
[01:25:00] adjoining to the Mulan is a Punjab province of the Pakistan
[01:25:03] province of the Pakistan Punjab province data the total forest
[01:25:06] Punjab province data the total forest cover in the Punjab province is now
[01:25:08] cover in the Punjab province is now 3.6%.
[01:25:11] 3.6%. cable maturest
[01:25:15] cable maturest cover is there in the Punjab province
[01:25:17] cover is there in the Punjab province whereas in Mulan
[01:25:19] whereas in Mulan proper data is not there but it is
[01:25:22] proper data is not there but it is estimated that it is less than 2%.
[01:25:29] forest
[01:25:33] many paper we have gone through
[01:25:36] many paper we have gone through and we have analyzed that what has
[01:25:39] and we have analyzed that what has happened in the last 20 years
[01:25:49] field has increased.
[01:26:02] It has happened because of the cutting
[01:26:05] It has happened because of the cutting of the tree.
[01:26:11] The cost of those cutting of the tree
[01:26:13] The cost of those cutting of the tree that petty production petty field has
[01:26:15] that petty production petty field has been increased.
[01:26:24] increase.
[01:26:29] This is the reason and secondly as we
[01:26:31] This is the reason and secondly as we know that petty field is responsible for
[01:26:33] know that petty field is responsible for emission of the greenhouse methane gas
[01:26:36] emission of the greenhouse methane gas field
[01:26:40] that is equally responsible for the
[01:26:42] that is equally responsible for the greenhouse
[01:26:44] greenhouse increasing the temperature that is a
[01:26:45] increasing the temperature that is a greenhouse gas. So these are the
[01:26:48] greenhouse gas. So these are the scientific reason behind that.
[01:27:03] That is from the Himachel Pradesh.
[01:27:05] That is from the Himachel Pradesh. It is of the holi you know holi is a
[01:27:09] It is of the holi you know holi is a festival of the color we celebrate with
[01:27:11] festival of the color we celebrate with the synthetic and certain organic color
[01:27:13] the synthetic and certain organic color and those color remain suspended in the
[01:27:15] and those color remain suspended in the year for the longer period of the time
[01:27:16] year for the longer period of the time and despite of that aqi of the shimla on
[01:27:19] and despite of that aqi of the shimla on that holiday was just 27.
[01:27:22] that holiday was just 27. It was just 27.
[01:27:30] We have a very good
[01:27:41] was just 57
[01:27:45] just 57 industrial area one is the bri
[01:27:48] just 57 industrial area one is the bri this bada and another is the pontab
[01:27:53] 102 otherwise rest of the area we have a
[01:27:55] 102 otherwise rest of the area we have a very
[01:27:57] very and why
[01:27:59] and why the reason is that the reason is that at
[01:28:02] the reason is that the reason is that at present we have more than 28% forest
[01:28:06] present we have more than 28% forest coverable
[01:28:09] coverable forest whatever The forest or the tree
[01:28:11] forest whatever The forest or the tree which are present in the land of the
[01:28:14] which are present in the land of the people those have been not included.
[01:28:17] people those have been not included. Imagine government has sent a case to
[01:28:19] Imagine government has sent a case to the union government to the ministry of
[01:28:20] the union government to the ministry of inbound forest to include those area as
[01:28:22] inbound forest to include those area as a include those plants as a forest. So
[01:28:26] a include those plants as a forest. So include the forest cover will increase
[01:28:28] include the forest cover will increase and we have a mission we have a mission
[01:28:31] and we have a mission we have a mission we have a target to increase the forest
[01:28:33] we have a target to increase the forest more than 31% by 2030.
[01:28:48] There is no doubt in that.
[01:28:51] There is no doubt in that. But
[01:28:54] But less than 2% 779%
[01:28:57] less than 2% 779% has increased. So area definitely that
[01:29:02] has increased. So area definitely that these are the factors friends. These are
[01:29:05] these are the factors friends. These are the factors.
[01:29:08] the factors. And dear friends,
[01:29:11] And dear friends, the pollution is such a silent killer.
[01:29:16] the pollution is such a silent killer. No one is talking about, no one is
[01:29:17] No one is talking about, no one is taking this seriously.
[01:29:25] That pandemic has resulted the death of
[01:29:28] That pandemic has resulted the death of more than 70 lakhs of the innocent
[01:29:30] more than 70 lakhs of the innocent people all over the world.
[01:29:36] But there was a lot of human cry. Whole
[01:29:39] But there was a lot of human cry. Whole world was shut down. Complete lockdown
[01:29:41] world was shut down. Complete lockdown was there.
[01:29:56] 8.1 million people they are losing their
[01:29:59] 8.1 million people they are losing their life annually because of the pollution.
[01:30:02] life annually because of the pollution. 8.1 million people
[01:30:05] 8.1 million people complete indoor as well as the outdoor
[01:30:08] complete indoor as well as the outdoor cable or cable
[01:30:10] cable or cable outdoor friend
[01:30:15] 42 lakhs of the innocent individual
[01:30:18] 42 lakhs of the innocent individual annually they are dying because of the
[01:30:21] annually they are dying because of the pollution.
[01:30:23] pollution. It may be because of the suffocation. It
[01:30:25] It may be because of the suffocation. It beca may be because of the irritation,
[01:30:27] beca may be because of the irritation, because of the skin cancer, because of
[01:30:29] because of the skin cancer, because of the lung cancer, because of the stroke,
[01:30:31] the lung cancer, because of the stroke, because of the heart related disease.
[01:30:34] because of the heart related disease. It is arising because of the
[01:30:36] It is arising because of the contamination,
[01:30:38] contamination, because of the stress,
[01:30:46] they're losing their life. But no one
[01:30:49] they're losing their life. But no one stop your
[01:30:54] Such a silent killer this pollution is
[01:30:56] Such a silent killer this pollution is there but no one is talking about that
[01:30:59] there but no one is talking about that death
[01:31:02] death still the people are silent
[01:31:07] that's why there is a need to make the
[01:31:10] that's why there is a need to make the people aware about this what this
[01:31:13] people aware about this what this pollution is what this environment is
[01:31:16] pollution is what this environment is and what are the impact of such
[01:31:19] and what are the impact of such activities and there is a need to
[01:31:20] activities and there is a need to realize who is doing that
[01:31:24] realize who is doing that who is doing that
[01:31:26] who is doing that many more facts are there then is the
[01:31:30] many more facts are there then is the climate change
[01:31:32] climate change uh friends you need uh a break of the
