Ecosystem based adaptation

 Today, the climate change and environmental issues are the important topic of discussion among the conversationalist. The governments are coming with different different policies, organizations are inventing new ideas to cope up with these challenges. Everyday new environmental rules and laws are being formulated.  In this scenario "The Ecosystem based adaptation" is the best way to fight the challenges of global environment problems.

It is like providing the solution in natural and ecological way. For example instead of building reservoir for checking flood or building structure to prevent coastal areas from being submerged into the seas. The ecosystem based adaptation provides a more cheaper way to solve the problem, which totally depend upon sustainable development of ecology. Its principle based upon proper forestation and sustainable management of natural resources such as water, trees and agricultural land. It includes the afforestation strategy in all types of human habitat which will decrease the atmospheric temperature and purify the air through the moisture released by the leaves. Apart from this It will also results in increasing the water table in the earth surface. Similarly the afforestation in coastal areas will checks the soil erosion by acting as buffer system. Trees will degrade the waves which causes the erosion in  coastal areas and which results the submersion of coasts into the water. Apart form these as we know that how mangrove forest  prevents the the land areas from storm and devastating cyclonic winds. The afforestation policies in the coastal areas will also act in the same way. Apart from afforestation the natural lake  in human habitat will also have tremendous impact on the storage of ground water. 

This little changes will also have a very positive effect on the urban wild life. The birds which are extincting due to degradation of their natural habitat, will get a positive environment within the human habitat to survive. So in this way the basic of the ecosystem based upon the concept of adaptation of oneself  as per the natural ecosystem where there is no boundary between urban wild life and human habitat. It is a solution to which highlights the importance of coming close and get linked to the nature.

Deforestation: a factor for zoonotic diseases

  Video link In a documentary by UNEP (link given above) reveals the relation between how deforestation is related to disease which is related to zoonotic animals such as bats, rats etc. With drastic increasing the supply and demand chain, industries are putting themselves too far in grabbing more and more lands to built industries. This results in an adverse impact on the forest lands, which is vanishing day by day. With increasing deforestations the zoonotic animals are coming closer to the human environments, which is effecting the heath of humans and domestic animas such as cats and dogs. The growing zoonotic disease such as Ebola, Covid 19 are becoming common. Such encounter of parasites with humans is expected to increase in future if the process of sustainable development is not employed by industrial units. As a consumer, it is also duty of every person to maximum rely on local markets for fulfilling their daily needs. It will decrease the gap of supply and demand which wil...

A village of Indonesia utilizing rain water harvesting mechanism

Video link   In a video blog of DW hindi (video link given above), describes a village in Indonesia where people rely are using rain water harvesting to fulfill their daily needs of water. With increasing demand and privatization of water industry in Indonesia, one priest came with an excellent solution to solve the water crises. He promotes the concept of rain water storing whole year and refine this water through the process of electrolysis. The principle of electrolysis is basically based on passing of currents between the two electrodes dipped into the water. This process kills the germs present is the rain water and make it fit for drinking purpose. For more information click on the above video link.    

गुरगाओ और दिल्ली के बीच बसता जंगल

 दी डव्लू में निर्मित एक डॉक्यूमेंट्री (जिसका लिंक नीचे  दिया गया है ) में पर्यावरण को लेकर एक पर्यावण प्रेमी विजय धस्माना के महत्वपूर्ण योगदान को दर्शाया गया है। दिल्ली गुडगाँव का छेत्र को दुनिआ में सबसे प्रदुसित इलाको में गिना जाता है.  वहा अब  इनके सार्थक प्रयास से इस कंक्रीट के जंगलो  के बीच एक 380 एकर में जंगल तैयार किया गया है।  विजय जी का कहना है की इस पूरी बायोडायवर्सिटी पार्क एक बंजर जमीन पर बननी सुरु हुई और आज इसे पूरी तरह फलने फूलने में 10  साल लग गए। आज यह जंगल जैव विविधता का उदहारण पेश कर रहा है।   अब यहाँ विभिन्न प्रकार के पंखियो और सरीसृपों का प्रजनन होता है। कुछ इसी प्रकार का प्रयास राजीव सूरी के द्वारा  दिल्ली के ही डिफेंस कॉलोनी को हरा भरा करने में है जो की एक समय कुरे कचरे का ढेर बन गया था।  मगर राजीव जी के अथक प्रयास से आज वहा एक छोटा सा ग्रीन पार्क बन गया है।  इस डाक्यूमेंट्री को जरूर देखे।   DW documentary Video link
