  • Land use and climate stability are a delicate balancing act. Get it right and you can reduce carbon emissions; but get it wrong, and you can fuel climate change while worsening food insecurity and environmental problems. We witness the impact on lives when the balance tips into disaster. And we track one man’s attempt to stop the desert’s cruel march - by planting a miracle.

    If these farmers grew tired of farming and no next generation would be willing to waste away in the fields?? Who would now put food on our tables?? The government should give support to these farmers. In India, farmers are taking their own lives due to mountains of loans and losses from pests damage, weather damage, and many other causes. You see them floating in the rivers. In my country there was one female farmer who have a gigantic loan of 2000usd due to crop damages from drought. She now had to borrow another large sum to sustain another year of farming and to pay her loans. I've seen instances of farmers taking their own lives because they can't pay back their loans. In my 3rd world, farming is not easy. We tend to do it manually without modern machinery like seeder, harvester, etc. So life of a farmer here is as wilted as their damaged crops.

    This is so sad for me to see, in 1970 I was in Vietnam with the Army Rangers, and all that time, I never saw a brown patch of ground. Now even in the Mekong delta there is dry land. Sadder still is we humans did this to ourselves.

    Just a small thing; really liked seeing planting in palm leaf instead of plastic...we really need to stop the madness of over using plastic. It's now in our food, the water system, arctic ice, soil...all of life including humans are now first consuming plastic and then literally consuming/ingesting it...sick

    May God bless all the lands...so that there is enough rain water for crops , people n their pets. In East Sumba water has always been available in the river, just that they didn't have the pumps. It's good to see that they now have them n are living at least a sustainable life💗💗💗

    why are there never any mention or programs that address the effects of the huge population increases often found in such countries.. ???? the most significant driver of real poverty... the video briefly mentions deforestation and overgrazing, then states it is made worse by climate change. where is the documentary about why the overgrazing and why the deforestation.. ???? why not address the real problem, religion in these regions and demand for more and more babies so these religions can grow, and then outgrow the other religions to become the dominant religion.... shhh... we should not talk about the real problems, lets find something else to blame ...

      By the way, thank you for raising the point. David Attenborough is the only public figure I know who has repeatedly tried to alert the world to the dangers of population tsunami. Even HIS words fell on deaf ears! I fear that nothing short of Armageddon will awaken this stupid humanity! I hoped that perhaps this pandemic would do it. I was thinking, 'Maybe those few weeks during total lockdown when we could all breathe wonderful fresh air would spark a new beginning.' Not even close! It may be just my opinion, but most people seem to be more selfish now than ever before!

    • @milesinnz

      @@sugitox9864 the reason why people don't listen and politicians refuse to acknowledge the issue is that this population increase is religiously driven. I was am on a closed forum for a political party and when I raised this sort of issue, because this is what drives people in desperation to seek refugee status in western countries is this very issue. The questions I was posting were closed down as not being relevant. No politician will dare to mention this. There will be an Armageddon and it is slowly unfolding as we speak. Agricultural failure, that is the inability of a country to feed it's own people is taking hold now. And the reality is that most of these problems are more to do with the social problems of excess populations than climate change. Climate change is the double wammy and that is still around the corner in terms of the magnitude of it's affect. In Cambodia now, where I have interests, there are floods everywhere and now in Phnom Penh. They might scream about climate change but then fail to mention all the lakes and rivers filled in, and also where people build on natural flood plains.. what can be the reason for all the "economic growth" and need to build build build other than population growth ? There will be no serious political debate on the issue of population increases.. whenever I take anyone to task on this issue, I check the data, a lot I can remember now. When you see some sort of social disorder or disaster you want to comment on, just Google - [country] population, then look at images and in my case I regularly get a graph of population 1960 to date.. it is clear as a bell...

      @@milesinnz In my country it is impossible to mention it because marriage and divorce is way of life also poligamy. Even if they can't feed their child or have them to get education.
      The worst there is some that sell their child as prostitute or marriage by contract that will last base on the agreement and all they seek is just money.
      We have region that exclusively for people from middle east to have their contract wife.
      And that our nation can easily accept people from all over the world without clear status or ID then to have their own citizen(native by born) to have ID and being serve as citizen.

      Some of the conflict and issue begin with that and our government will just close their eyes for that because of the religion factor.
      But the native being exploit for their poverty, lack of nutrition, and that they have huge debt that they can't pay. For the TV show or for the shake of political need.
      But we also export our people all around the world for the duty of religion such as ISIS or in Palestinian and we actively impact the problem in Sweden and you mention it. Also in Turks, they love how Turks always there for every conflict. They have close relation and try to use the case of Azerbaijan dan Armenia to burn the conflict inside in the name of religion.

      Somehow I can see the goodness of this Pandemic and the disaster to come.
      At least GOD try to remind the people how fragile they are and may be the last calling about how they treat others unfairly, the hatred towards other in the name of religion and so on. Because GOD is just.
      I am not against religion but the way they pretend as if they serve GOD but actually they don't.
