Getting hot under the collar for China’s lakes -- Discover the next generation of solar cell research – Bold Brits heading to the Poles – Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf in Germany?Listen online with our Audio on Demand or subscribe to our podcast. China’s White Collar Workers Go Green at Lashi LakeIn China there is often a vast cultural divide between the country’s urban population and their rural counterparts.Yet, a new generation of Chinese are trying to bridge the gap through the act of volunteering. Last year an estimated 6 million Chinese volunteered their time to assist with the aftermath of the Sichuan Earthquake, and in staging the Beijing Olympics. Yet, it is not just the big events. In this second visit to the Lashi Lake area in the Yunnan province,
Living Planet follows a group of environmental volunteers. They have come from China’s big cities to Lashi Lake to learn more about the environmental challenges locals face.
(Report: Elise Potaka)Dye-Sensitive Solar Cells Could Help Renewable Energy ProductionImagine if the glass windows in your office building or house could also generate electricity to heat or cool the building, or if your car’s sun-roof could also power the radio and air conditioning.This could be a reality in a few years if the technology known as dye-sensitised solar cells or dye solar cells, gets off the ground. Studies are underway in a number of different countries around the world, from Australia and New Zealand, to the United States, the UK and Germany.
Living Planet found out more from the German research team about the potential of this technology.
(Report: Cinnamon Nippard)British Explorers Prepare for an Ambitious Arctic SurveyBritish Explorers Pen Hadow, Ann Daniel and photographer Martin Hartley planned to trek across the North Pole last year but funding fell through.A year later, on the 24th February they plan to set off from northern Canada's Arctic border to the pole, taking measurements of ice and snow levels in the Arctic as they go. The hope is the results of their research can be presented at the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen in December.
Living Planet speaks with Polar Explorer Pen Hadow about the impending expedition.
(Interview: Cheryl Northey)German Community Questions Coexisting With WolvesEnvironmentalists are up in arms and German animal rights activists are howling after officials in Saxony said they might let hunters shoot wolves in the Lusatia region.In the past decade a population of around 40 wolves has established a solid foothold in this sparsely-populated region of eastern Germany. Up until now this wolf population has been strictly protected under European Union legislation. Yet these predators have multiplied to an extent that some critics say they are becoming a danger and it is only a matter of time before there is an attack on a human.
Living Planet visits the Muskauer Heath natural reserve near the German-Polish border to find out more.

Manfred Trojahn, "Architectura caelestis":
Architectura caelestisWhen Manfred Trojahn referred to his "Kammerkonzert" (Chamber Concerto) of 1973 as an "attempt to break away from rigidly constructivist, fully documentable and explainable musical phenomena in favour of an intuitive, emotional, living piece of music - albeit not at the expense of a restorative aesthetic", he made a crucial statement not only about his own work as a whole but about the aims of the composers of his generation. It is tempting to think of composers such as Trojahn, Miiller-Siemens, Schweinitz, Stranz, Bose, Dadelsen and perhaps Hamel and Rihm as a "group" since they have so many prominent features in common. Yet it looks as though the progress of the musical avant-garde so strongly encouraged parallel approaches of this sort that composers had no need to form a group (the opposite was often the case in previous decades). Indeed, all of the above-named composers have set out on independent paths, each of them with a well-honoured intellect and an urge toward expression.Trojahn commented on this development as follows: "Most past, by what we might call an 'undisguised' link to his new aesthetic approaches are marked by a window on the tory and by specific criticisms of the avant-garde machinery of the 1960s. Any premature attempt to attach labels to superficial similarities for the purpose of condemning, praising or marketing this movement wholesale will only cause wonder and puzzlement in a young composer who, imagining himself to be an individualist, suddenly finds he is a member of a school whose features are known to everyone but himself. . . The push to 'new pastures' which led in ,the 1950s to the notion of total organisation, and seemed to guarantee a pristine musical universe, has failed, and this has made me wary, even towards myself. As a result, composition is a protest against my own doubts, an act of almost irrational hope."Manfred Trojahn was born in 1949 in Cremlingen near Brunswick. He studied orchestral music at the Lower Saxony Music School in Brunswick, specializing in flute and obtaining his degree in 1970. Later, at the Hamburg Musikhochschule. he studied flute with Schochow and Zoller and composition with de la Motte. Since 1974 he has won numerous prizes in Stuttgart, Boswil, Hamburg, Hitzacker, and from UNESCO. He has been a fellow of the "Studienstiftun" des Deutschen Volkes" and of the Villa Massimo in Rome, where he remained for over a year.Trojahn's chamber music is set for various, even bizarre combinations in which his own instrument, the flute, has a leading role. He has also written a string quartet and several orchestral pieces. His First Symphony premiered in Hannover in 1976, was followed by "Architectura caelestis" for eight female singers (solo or chorus) and full orchestra. This piece was written from 1974-6 and first performed in Royan during the 1976 "Festival International d'Art Contemporain", conducted by Friedrich Cerha; in 1979 it was produced again and broadcast by the Norddeutscher Rundfunkt, Peter Keuschnig conducting.Mention may again be made of the "Kammerkonzert" which receded this orchestral piece. Both works seek, in a manner of speaking, a creative rejection of the old avant garde without denying its existence. The music combines and contrasts searing dissonances in ultra-high registers and as sound layers with swirling, explosive passages, tremolo transitions and slowly decaying: chords reminiscent of sounds emitted when an'organ'mgtor is shut down. The end of "Kammerlronzert" fades away in slow contemplation, as though Wagner's "Tristan" had just preceded it and was lying prostrate in its final twitches.The impulse to write "Architectura caelestis" came from the painter Ernst Fuchs, namely from his "sacred, ornamental picture of Christ called 'Architectura caelestis' and from his book of the same title. Today," the composer continues, "I find it difficult to interpret the connections between his book and painting and my music. More importantly, I see in my work a point of discontinuity within my own development, a discontinuity which made possible my next work, the string quartet, and in which my serious confrontation with the music of the past took shape. The beginnings of this confrontation were at least announced in 'Architectura caelestis' - particularlv at the end. where a texture of dense micropolyphonal clusters relaxes into broad chordal sonorities, but also in the middle section with its re~ressed cantabile. In this work I wrote a farewell to micropolyphony, to the cluster, to Klangfarben speculation, and most of all a farewell to what today we still call avant-garde."Whether or not a new "avant-garde" will arise from the old, Manfred Trojahn has taken an individual path which will figure in the music of tomorrow. -- Wolf-Eberhard von Lewlinski (Translation: J. Bradford Robinson)

You can also download the programme from our website.Geeknbury creates an alternative wifi festivalOne of the delights of the European summer is taking your pick of any number of festivals that might grab your interest. This weekend for instance swing dancers can dance all night in Herräng, Sweden or lovers of the stage can enjoy plenty of theatre in Avignon, France.But what about a festival for geeks or tech minded people? A celebration of technology meeting culture, food and music, or just having fun in the sun with a beer, wireless internet and some of your favourite gadgets? Christian Payne – also known online across many social media sites as “Documentally” – is the brains behind Geeknbury – a festival in Surrey for geeks making its debut over this weekend.
Interview Guy Degen /Christian PayneContaining contamination: why a nuclear waste dump site in Germany is causing alarmA former salt mine in the German state of Lower Saxony is giving authorities and local residents cause for alarm. In 1965 the Asse-II mine was turned into a temporary storage and research facility for nuclear waste. As the development of nuclear energy boomed, the 1000-metre-deep mine became a permanent disposal site for nuclear material. Between 1967 to 1978, hundreds of thousands of barrels of radioactive waste were disposed in the mine and remain there today. In June this year, news broke that brine, known to be leaking from the mine since 1988, is radioactive – at some eight times above safe levels. But poor maintenance also means the mine is unstable and in danger of collapsing.
Reporter: Leah McDonnell Swedish students watch the wind blow to power carsElectric vehicles are becoming more and more common, but there’s a down-side to them all - the electricity they use is often produced through using fossil fuels that pollute the environment.For example at a coal-fired power station. Now, engineering students in Sweden say they’ve come up with a solution - an electric vehicle which comes with its own wind turbine. And the first to benefit from this technology will be farmers in South America.
Reporter: Lars Bevanger A town in Tuscany fears tourism could be a trapOnce you’ve been to Aghiari, you may not want to leave, that’s what some of the townspeople are worried about.The residents of Anghiari in Tuscany dress up in renaissance costume to celebrate a palio that has no horses and where the runners refer to each other as mounts.
Reporter: Jean Di Marino
Meet World Music Star Zap MamaExploring her African roots and Belgian childhood has had a strong influence on the work of Congolese-born musician Marie DaulneThe daughter of a Belgian timber harvester and a Bantu woman, Marie's family was forced to flee her home in the east of the former Zaire when rebels killed her father. Her mother and three sisters sheltered with pygmies before leaving for a new life in Belgium. The Brussels of Marie Daulne's childhood was anything but cosmopolitan
However, it was music that inspired her to bridge the cultures of her dual heritage. In the early 1990s, she formed the all-woman acapella group Zap Mama, which took world music to a new dimension. Now Marie Daulne is on her own, but she's kept the name Zap Mama and with a new back-up band is touring Europe this summer.
Reporter: Alexa Dvorson Where was Radovan Karadzic for so long?Bosnian-Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic was captured in the Serbian capital Belgrade this week. The former Bosnian-Serb president has been indicted for crimes against humanity and genocide over the massacre of up to 8,000 Muslim Bosniaks in Srebrenica in 1995.Caught with a flowing white beard and glasses, Karadzic has been on the run for nearly 13 years, but managed to live a disguised double life as an alternative healer. In Sarajevo, the arrest of the man who ordered the seige of the Bosnian capital was met with jubilation. James Lyon is the senior Balkan adviser to the International Crisis Group in Belgrade.
Interview: Guy Degen/James LyonWhat the Internet can do for politics in the Old World - Obama in EuropeUS Senator Barack Obama met with several European leaders this week at the end of a world tour.The centrepiece of the trip for the Democratic Party presidential candidate included a much anticipated public speech in Berlin. Meanwhile, European officials in Brussels have also been closely watching the senator's presidential campaign. They’re keen to learn from the success of Obama's online strategy, which has enabled the Senator to raise millions of dollars and mobilize a new generation of supporters.
Reporter: Alex Bakst Polish shoppers met with mixed feelingsFor Germans living near Poland, driving across the border to buy cheaper fuel, food, cigarettes and alcohol is a benefit of living close to the border. But in the past few years, Eastern German villages such as Loecknitz, have experienced something quite new.Poles are increasingly coming over to the German side to live or set up businesses. With a strong Zloty and a booming Polish economy, life in Poland has become more expensive than in some rural regions of eastern Germany.
Reporter: Hardy Graupner Just where should British politicians spend their summer holidays?Few of us need to justify where we go on holidays, but that’s not the case for politicians.Wherever they go, be it abroad or somewhere closer to home, the destination and how they spend their time off is always under scruntiny. In light of the present economic climate in the UK, Prime Minister Gordon Brown and opposition leader, David Cameron, say they’ll be holidaying in the UK. However, London’s new city Mayor, Boris Johnson, has been airing his views on where politicians should spend their holidays and declares he’ll be off to somewhere warm and foreign.

Living Planet: Environment Matters Around the Globe:
German Nuclear Waste Storage Site Threatens to Contaminate Environment -- NGOs: G8 Climate Deal Nothing But Hot Air -- Dutch Save Energy By Lighting Up -- Brazilians Successfully Restore Atlantic Rainforest -- these stories and more in this edition of Living Planet.
Tune in via the live-stream or download the programme as a podcast. Send your comments to features@dw-world.de.German Nuclear Waste Threatens to Contaminate EnvironmentNuclear power is again making headlines in the global debate about how to solve the current energy crisis. One of the main points of criticism put forward by environmentalists is the lack of ideas when it comes to ways of disposing of radioactive waste. In Germany, a nuclear waste storage site is now threatening to contaminate the environment.In Germany, Asse II is a former salt mine in the state of Lower Saxony that in 1965 was turned into a temporary storage and research facility of nuclear waste. Between 1967 and 1978 hundreds of thousands of barrels of radio active waste were dumped there.
Last month it was announced that water, which has been known to be leaking into the mine since 1988, is now contaminated with radio activity -- currently eight times above safety levels. After a long period of silence, the government is now openly thinking of ways to take action, because the 1,000-metre deep former mine has been managed and maintained so badly that the structure is highly unstable and in danger of total collapse.
Report: Leah McDonnell NGOs: G8 Climate Deal Nothing But Hot AirThe G8 nations have agreed to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 to curb climate change. Environmentalists react with indignity, saying industrialised countries need to go a lot further.The leaders of the group of eight industrialised countries came together in Japan this week to discuss topics of global importance, one of them climate change. At the end of the summit they announced that they will halve global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Some celebrated this announcement as a major breakthrough, others – above all environmental organisations – reacted with indignity, saying the deal was not tying industrialised countries to any binding emissions reduction goals. Those, however, they say, are urgently needed if the next UN meeting on Climate Change that takes place in Copenhaguen next year is to be a success.
In Denmark, the parties to the Kyoto protocol will come together in December 2009 to agree on a Kyoto follow-up, the international climate deal. Living Planet speaks to Antje von Broock, Head of International Environmental Policy with the non-governmental organisation BUND, the German branch of Friends of the Earth.
Interview: Nina HaaseDutch Save Energy By Lighting UpEnergy-saving means changing one's lifestyle. A Dutch city is trying to convince their population that it's easier than you'd think. They send out energy coaches who dispense energy-saving light bulbs.One of the best ways to curb climate change is energy-saving, but that requires a slight change of lifestyle. A small city in the Netherlands is currently trying to convince the population that that’s easier than most would have thought.
The city has been passing out more than 20,000 energy-saving light bulbs as part of a new programme to help low-income households save money while they conserve energy.
A group of “energy coaches” have begun travelling from house to house by bike, delivering the light bulbs and dispensing advice on how the households can make their homes more environmentally-friendly. Living Planet looks at the city of Leeuwarden.
Report: Andrew Ryan
Brazilians Try to Restore Atlantic RainforestThe destruction of the world's rainforests shows no signs of let-up, especially in Brazil's Amazon region. But there is the other Brazilian forest, the Atlantic Forest, where the local population is fighting hard to restore at least parts.Recent news from the Amazon region has been grim, with satellite data showing no let-up in destruction of the world’s largest rainforest. But better signals have been coming out of an even more threatened South American rainforest, one which is even more diverse in wildlife than the Amazon itself.
The Atlantic Forest, which once stretched continuously for some three thousand kilometres along the Eastern coast of Brazil, has already lost nearly ninety-three per cent of its original cover – giving way to farms, coastal developments and cities.
New figures, however, show that the rate of deforestation has slowed by more than two-thirds, and there are ambitious plans to restore at least part of what has been lost. Living Planet looks at the fightback of the other Brazilian rainforest.
