An ingenious proposal for scaling up marine protection | The Nature Conservancy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Island and coastal nations need to protect their waters to keep the oceans healthy. But they often have lots of debt and aren't able to prioritize ocean conservation over other needs. The team at The Nature Conservancy sees a way to solve both problems at once: restructuring a nation's debt in exchange for its government's commitment to protect coastal areas. Learn more about how "Blue Bonds for Conservation" work -- and how you can help unlock billions of dollars for the oceans. This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change. (Voiced by Ladan Wise)

I love using Germany as a measuring device.
It was a cute demonstration haha
Better than football fields lol
"and eye for an eye" - here - "You measured others, now we measure you"? ;)
@@walperstyle true story :/ this should change!
@rabblerouser Which country are you from, firend?
Great idea, I think governments should be taking environmental issues a lot more seriously though.
Well trump doesn't care...
Stop thinking the government has to do everything, it’s up to individuals, personally I have actually started recycling when I never did before
well there are lot of reasons why governments not taking environmental issues seriously, one of the reasons is economy.
@@wizzenberry you need both
Alan Dampog yeah, but enough attention is on it now for the free market to create healthy competition between private or public companies, this is always the best way, whatever the end goal may be, government intervention is actually not a good thing most of the time, the evidence is in history, just imagine if that green bill had passed it would of fucked the economy for you Americans out there, the rest is the individuals responsibility
*Protecting coastal ares* from commercial fishing is very wise.
Those are the areas that produce the most fish in their early stages of life.
Later on the large fish go into deep ocean and then we can fish them there.

I believe in humanity and the good inside of us. Way to go!!!
So proud to be a supporter of Nature Conservancy. Keep up the great work. World-class ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
This is awesome! I keep seeing conservation efforts and ideas that are not going to make lasting change in the oceans. I'm so glad this plan got all the pieces in place to be a viable path forward!
thank you for this brilliant idea!
Haven't watched yet, but any change to protect the oceans is good in my book, keep it up.
Your the definition of Ignorance.
@@chrisklugh I have watched it after commenting (obviously) and I stand by my statement. Go be upset about ecology somewhere else. Also, you're*. Now that's irony lmao
This beyond brilliant! This is exactly what we all need right now...
Wonderfully made, thank you for giving us such a great idea! Cheers from Oregon USA.
We need this in the Philippines! Our coral reefs and marine biodiversity is seriously deteriorating. Yes, there ARE NGOs that act upon these problems but those aren't enough. I hope the next country this will be implemented in will be the Philippines, but I find it sort of improbable with our current administration.
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
omg I'm glad I discover this. this is important for my essay. thank you
Positive proposal hopefully
Thanks
this should have wayyyyyy more views
that's up to us to share it profusely
Just saw Seaspiracy on Netflix. This video brought back some hope that we can solve our ocean crisis.
"it already protects an area the size of germany"
Me: thats not much
"this new plan could protect an area the size of ten germanies"
Me: ok thats.... thats way better
Great ideas and framework for success. Interested to follow the next stages.
Thank you ❤
My mom is the director for TNC Belize, If you find her you will see a sonic pic.
thank you for doing this
TED as really help me on my journey to 5 million dollars!!! Thank you, guys!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!! but why wasn't it done sooner?
Because of money that caused the problem in the first place .
Save the ocean!
I love this topic......
Money is one thing but the people who actually do the work is the main thing.
It has always been the people who do the work get the least except for the backbreaking labor.
I think people who do the work should get the most money or at least a larger Chunk in the lip service people like management.

This does sound awesome. Unfortunately the video doesnt detail how they would "rearrange" the debt of these nation. You dont really know if this strategy is applicaple for other nations economoies. State debt is complicated and you cant just fix it.
Wow... Great idea...
Go for it!
interestingly interesting.... I am going to give this a shot... #LEHGO #TNC...
Wow - what an incredible video :) I am in
Insane World.♥
Brilliant
The quality of our air effects land and water. One large cruise ship can use up to 80k gallons of fuel in day leaving a carbon footprint in eight months that all the cars in the world do in one year. Last time I checked cruise ships are on the ocean. What do you plan to do about those?
This seems like a demand. Which is ridiculous to ask for a charity think tank.
But changing the fuel of shipping vessels to algal biodiesel or large batteries could work.
@@JP-sm4cs 0:45 This commercial outlined targets of concerns. No demand was intended. Ocean going vessel pollution seems to be over looked. I support picking up trash but I'm a bigger supporter of not making more trash hat than you can clean up yourself!
And you could grow the algae in oceanic farms, then sell the bio-fuel to passing ships.
The amount fresh wather using fo each living creature is much more we think. For each kilo of green groceries we eate how many liters we spend. In other words. Treat waste wather is the only way to survive in this planet
I have next to no money. But seeing the thought out process, I’d invest!
Cool video. Nature conservancy does a lot of great work.
I would of liked to know more about the financial impact that has already happened through this program. You mentioned a lot about protecting the oceans, but it needed to mention more then a sentence on how its already worked.
Hi, Scotland here. We're keen. Doing similar projects already
Love it 👍🥇🤔
Just woke up thought I saw marriage instead marine..
Great Idea, now it really depends on the investor.. I think Susi Indonesia's Ocean Ministry will agree with it.
It will need some work in the parliament tho, and lot of sensible planning.
This method assume that lack of funding due to high national debt is the core problem to marine conservation activities. However this problem usually happen in small island, developing states (SIDS). To state that Indonesia's marine conservation problem is solely due to debt is kind of a stretch, as marine conservation is, like the video stated, complex. Thus, we first need to indentify what is the problems and challenges in indonesia's marine conservation effort.
However, i like the idea of alleviating debt on order to fund conservations as money from the central and provincial govt. is often used for other things (improving education, healthcare, etc.) first. The implementation of the video's solution might work if we address parts of Indonesia (apart from provincial boundary, for example kei islands, tanimbar, etc.) as pseudo-SIDS, in which investments can directly be given to these islands without complicated regulations from the central govt. Tbh idk if we ever can do it, law students might help more and that area.
Err I'm not really proficient in the technical details, all i know is Susi has banned some fishing tools that can damage the ecosystem, Jokowi is very ambitious on building the infrastructure with debts and also issue government bond whatever its name is, if it can issue a bond in name of ocean or even forest (+ orangutan species due to palm oil) is more important (subjective) , it's kinda good but then again I'm not sure about anything :p
Question: What are the best books to read on this topic?
the financial statements of the nature conservancy is a good start
Nice, we can probably do the same thing with the forest.
Its november 2022 and just seen an article about Reef Brigades and the insurance purchase in Hawaii. As long as what you rebuild makes the best waves ever, than I am behind it. But it cannot in anyway remove or reduce shef spots. Sounds stingey, but surf tourism creates money. And of course the safety reefs provide to the islands and the wildlife is also quite important. And most all surfers respect that stuff naturally. Great idea-i hope it works and doesnt turn into some Scottish Titles scam or something like that.
Why isn't there any information on getting involved with this?
Save Our Planet.
This would have been perfect for my a level geography paper 1. 😂😂
I love this idea. Unfortunately I live in Australia where we have more than enough money but 6 years of climate change denying government (and now another 3) means we've gone backwards in the past decade from where we were.
1:25 that fish just had another fish straight up swim into its gills
Mother earth must WIN.
How can I help?
❤❤❤
better idea - make the reefs profitable and therefore self sustaining. Like entrance fees for national parks. The chicken, cow, and pig are not going extinct any time soon. One idea might be to create eco resorts along coastlines where the draw for tourists is the viewing of natural habitats. You can have nature walks where the guests can do beach cleanups as an activity. You get the picture. Because if people care enough about nature to force government to pay for it, then they will pay to protect it themselves. And if it pays for itself, then you don't run the risk of losing the protection when the political climate changes.
And if the government does not protect the marine life what will happen? Does someone know? Because nobody is giving nothing for free
Lots of challenges esp managing humans
What should I study to make it to my job to create detailed coservation plans that integrate the needs of environment with the ones of local communitys?
Are there any subjects at University that enable you to solve such issues? I thought about Geography or environmental science.. Has someone made any experiences in those fields?
There are honestly many ways to get to that job. You can do a degree in environmental conservation or environmental management. No matter what you work on in conservation you will likely have to take into account the local community. Just keep being interested in it and I'm sure you'll end up doing a job you like.
This is why we need to aquaculture and re-plant the ocean. Check out www.HiddenTreasureCorals.com as they are working towards 100% aquaculture with enough support could even start donating frags to plant back into the ocean. You never know how far a little word of mouth can go, just look at amazon or Microsoft they started in a garage and look where they are now, support and spread the word. Respect the planet!
Manhattan became the inofficial standart for destruction in movies and news and germany the standart for wildlife protection what an amazing world
Just commenting to boost the algorithm
Why is this not in TED-Ed? xD
cool
Help wildlife is good.
I'm wondering what do they do to protect the sea?
Philippines
👍
This sounds like a tremendous opportunity for creditors. Not so much of an opportunity for the environment. It might help a little but it's pretty great if you're a large creditor.
Don't worry theirs ever growing marine habitat , Florida , Bangladesh and the Pacific island . Maybe in a world without money we could get more done , the great barrier reef in Australia was only worth saving once a dollar value was put on it , and money was part of what destroyed it in the first place .
The main problem is commercial fishing.
Not sure Indonesia is not called out because the minister finally doing what's right or it's so bad and they don't want hurt our feelings
You dont know what you have until its gone.
Looks like they have been watching a slideshow presentation through a screen
I have a cool idea. What if we make an international law that says that if you build an artificial island, that you immediately become financially responsible for cleaning up the oceans in the area that you are allowed to fish from? I think we all know a big offender here that is also the worlds number 1 country for causing man made climate change.

There should be conservation responsibilities undertaken by all human kind, especially ALL fishermen in the world. Eg. For every net of fishes caught, they must rear the baby fishes from the eggs of their catches by at least 30% and release them into the sea. On top of that there must be at least 2 or 3 months of 'NO FISHING MONTHS' or 'NO FISH EATING MONTHS' especially during breeding periods as being practised by some countries, excluding high tides or storm seasons. We must respect all living creatures even though they are human foods and respect its rights to continue its continuation or descendants. Can the world accept these actions like during Covid19 lockdowns. Its GOD's wild fire and calls to ALL NATIONS. Heed HIS calls before its too late.
"restructuring a nation's debt in exchange for its government's commitment to protect coastal areas" and investors who will actually pay that debt will benefit from this how?
Socialize the cost of doing business. Socialism for rich people. They start a business, take all the fish, pollute the ocean, make billions of dollars, and then tax payers clean up their mess.
by owning the island if they default amirite? sickening
Once the ocean and forests are gone that will be the end of humans
It has the risk of default. But still get some good done before that happens and you go bankrupt
Good content. Speak just a little bit slower might be better.
Just set the playback speed to 75%, to people with English as a first language she isn't speaking quickly.
Did anyone mention that according to the my calculations, in the next 5 years tuna should be extinct
Go plastic free!
So you want war against China and developing countries that don't recycle their plastic?
@@remyllebeau77 How did you get from A to B?
@@remyllebeau77 we send our plastic to China
@@GodsAutobiography Elementary deduction, my dear Watson. There is no law that does not have the threat of force behind it.
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence - it is force"
Or you could have reasoned that a question was just a question, or that it was meant for provoking thought.
@@JP-sm4cs As I understand it, that arrangement is no longer in place. Nor would that take responsibility off of them if they dump it in the ocean instead of proper recycling.
A couple of points.
Not everyone wins, the 1.6 billion dollars is a lost income for the loangivers. They might fight back, if it becomes a trend.
Protecting and preserving coral reefs is great and a worthwhile endeavour, but it's a bit like the panda-effect. It's easier to get funding for a cute animal, than a less-cute one. Coral reefs are the same. We shouldn't just protect the places that look great on camera. There are also reefs and critically endangered habitats in colder climates.
Reefs are the most biodiverse, fragile and rare places in the ocean though so it's a good start.
The first step is develop wastewather treatment , second reestabilished the mangue vegetention, second eliminate industrial fishermans activity, more research im feed Fish farms
This sounds too much like what the IMF has been nefariously doing to third world nations. I would think any nation would start running if they heard this proposal out of past experience. Hope this program is an honest one.....
Nature Conservancy is a very reputable organization but I see your point.
Who's buying up all their debts? Follow the money and you'll find their true intensions
a "scaled up" version of the same --a gilded turd is still a turd
This is a cute idea and all but it wont work. Magically getting lower interest rates are much more complex then 'getting a deal on debt'.
Low interest rates fundamentally is an indicator to the value of the Currency. Currency is a commodity subject to supply and demand. High interest rates usually means there is a high demand for a limited amount of Currency that can be 'sold' as debt. All Markets are like an Auctions, with the highest bid being the winning value of exchange. You have to factor in the Turn Over Rate, the amount of times a dollar exchanges hands in a year, to figure out if the Currency Supply is healthy or not. Take those 2 factors into consideration when assessing interest rates and what you will find in today's Global Currency Markets is that the value of the dollar is so low, that we have Negative Interest rates. Inflation is greater then the interest rate meaning in nominal terms, you can 'make money going into debt'.
Unbelievable I know.
So to get a Country, which likely has some of the lowest interest rates in the markets, is only further going to speed up the failure of the Currency itself and will one day become worthless. 100% of all the 1000's of Fiat Currency's in our history has Failed. Banking on the health and well being of our Marine Environments should not be subject to a system that is about to collapse. At best, this 'solution' will be temporary.
so...what you're saying is....the nature conservancy is actually a $6 billion goldman sachs investment fund and the $$$ hard working ppl are donating instead of say taking $22 million to pay OFF the debt of these island nations + helping them solve these issues you're extending their debt for profit by not only making them pay-- countries that can't afford to?? but making them pay for longer? so ehhhh what happens if say they default on the debt what is the collateral does goldman sachs i mean the nature conservancy now own the island
“Throwing money at it”? That won’t stop the effects of rising ocean temperatures, acidification, etc. Some things are beyond an economic fix.
But what about Europe that finance overfishing with public money? What about stopping these kind of subvention first for a start? It's not money that is lacking, but political will.
I think you should call Elon Musk once.
Pay fishermen a fisherman's wage to protect marine areas.
Why not forgive debt in proportion to proven replenishment of any coastal stretch - after successful implementation xyz dollars can be forgiven? This bond thing sounds like yet another scam!
Ho Cheng want all of them, she doesn't want orher people to earn money.
大家准备潜水，哈哈哈哈哈哈！
Whoever came up with this idea may know a lot about conservation, but I guarantee he or she does not have a major degree in economics. This stands zero chance of raising enough money to do any good at all.
On the bright side, just wait thirty years and the next ice age will do the work for you.
Huh I bet you have no degree in science , next ice age is going to save us , along with Jesus coming back to fluff up our pillows .
Bcs of you I have to do a presentation in English 🙄😑
well that was general as you can get.. no real details of the financial end of things, just a promise "it works"... if you think this is a good idea with out knowing those details, you might find yourself enslaved one day...
This sounds like a lovely idea. I hope a school of governments snap up a bite! ;)
Sounds like a pyramid scheme smh
This sounds like a scam. :/
That's because it is lol
How about we just stop eating fish!?
Pls. include the philippines! Our seas have been polluted by locals,as well as, chinese invaders in the west phils.sea.😦
