GLOBAL 3000 – DW-TV’s new globalisation magazine looks at the issues that are moving us today, and shows how people are living with the opportunities and risks of globalisation. GLOBAL 3000 gives globalisation a face. During the Kosovo War nine years ago, many of the people from Pristina fled abroad. One of them is Naim Bunjuka. Naim Bunjaku is a radio host, journalist, and singer who lives and works in Pristina, Kosovo. We asked him what globalization means to him, what he hopes the future will bring, and what keeps him up at night.

The Gulf of California is a marine and coastal region which is home to an unusual number of rare flora and fauna. In 2005, UNESCO added parts of the Gulf of California, among them Isla Isabel, to its list of world heritage sites. For 15 years the island has been an official nature reserve. Now the national park authority wants to protect surrounding marine area as well, so life on the island can continue. The fish are essential to the survival of the local birds. Species from the entire region are still plentiful, but biodiversity is threatened by overfishing.

With nearly 100 different landscapes and more than 7,000 species, the South Caucasus is one of the world's biodiversity hot spots. But habitats are endangered. Forests are being illegally clear cut, and intensive farming and poaching are putting that biodiversity at risk. An environmentalist who is also a documentary filmmaker wanted to change that and teach children and teenagers in particular to protect the environment. They've shot their own nature films, which have already been shown at international festivals.

Global Brain: RoboHand

Richard van As from South Africa lost several fingers in an accident with a circular saw, so he developed the Robohand. What's new about it is that the individual components can be produced on a 3D printer, making it much more affordable than conventional prosthetic hands. Producing a Robohand costs the equivalent of about 460 euros. Conventional prosthetic hands are priced at about 20,000 euros. To make it possible to produce the Robohand in remote places and crisis zones, Richard van As developed an extremely robust 3D printer, the Robobeast. With open source software and a printer costing about 3800 euros, anyone can now print out van As’s prosthetic hands, even "in a moving car."

US: Shady Dealings with Student Loans

In the US, tuition fees have more than sextupled since 1986. College graduates are sitting on a billion dollars in debts. Many fail to find the jobs they need to repay them. The College Board, a non-profit educational organization, calculates that the sum has doubled in the past ten years. It now exceeds Americans' credit card debts. Economists are already warning of a new bubble that could catapult the entire economy into the next crisis. The debt burden is especially heavy for students who have to take out loans to attend what are called "for-profit colleges.”
