too, we are here to help you make up your mind. we are here and please find your mind. so talk to you from couple talk fixed a new culture and in 15 minutes, let's say together parts of our community life on the research is now on the it also says and it just acuity is an issue from the kids to cairo, means live with all the electricity on those who are connected to the greed leave with frequent blackouts. welcome to a new edition of africa. i am sunbrook a home is coming to from complex right to and you're going to know leslie,

a big hello to my colleague t. hi, chris. hi, sandra, and hello to you all of us. yes, m a g is off topic once again, both. we are concentrating on solutions to the problem. things like renewable energy sources. i am chris alarms coming to you from nigeria, and this is what we have in store for you this week. a solo driven machine from chimney will soon produce environmentally friendly cross products in by the task up . and you wrote best buy initial pharmacies. i'll come back to him for trade in excel. take wed like a photograph of ambrose the to our shows of how optimal portraits are the best way to protect the 1st 5 diversity the and they do transition can kind of feed africa in numerous ways. it's a jesus dependence on the expensive climate damage in force. it feels on it brings

energy to remote regions, picky and easily. it also opens up new opportunities to find those thoughts. sustainable systems. currently, many african countries upgrading or expanding the energy sectors. this tap is a life saver every day. it gives people from nearby villages, clean water, something that can be taken for granted in this rural part of central ivory coast. okay. well yeah, by little by see there's no water in our village because there's no, well, yep, that's why we come here to get the water. i mean, new south will just tell you any c 400. so the water has to be pumped from the ground, but the area is off the electricity grid. instead. solar energy provides the power for the pump from small beginnings, 12 years ago. the settlement, which includes a religious center and the home for teenage girls now has full water towers and $24.00 solar panels with

a total output of $4500.00 watts. that's enough to power the drinking water lighting, refrigeration, and communications. would you be able to control the beginning? there was only one unit test because there was only one house to supply. this one up quite a. then came the girl center of monday and after that the settlement expanded. okay, with 3 new buildings, sweetheart and a little bit and there were 2 more large buildings. and as time went on, we completed the installation and that's why there are several solar panel arrays here. it's not just ivory coast to rural off goods settlements, but also its urban areas that can benefit from renewable energy. the challenge is how to safely build up infrastructure and ensure reliable supply. in 2022 full professional associations joint forces to form a federation. so they could speak to the government with one voice. for example, when it comes to dealing with surplus electricity, the sweat don't,

we'll just have stuff. we would like to see the sector authorize to feed electricity into the national grid. to come up with these when you aren't able to consume all the solar energy you produce and you can't diverted to the grid to lose out. and that reduces the added value of solar investments, velocity and, and this is a month that's a pressing question for invest as, as ivory coast has pledge to increase the shape of renewables in its energy mixed to 42 percent by 2013 in the north of the country, the book g, all the solar farm is the 1st of more than a dozen project aimed at reaching the target. the 78 heck to facility overseen by the state owned a c i n a cheese cost 14000000 euros. it was made possible by a load from jimmy's k f w development bank, and a drunk from the european union with aiming to produce 5100 megawatts of electricity for cookies was including around 400

megawatts of solar power. we have a number of projects with private sector partners, but the bungee any power plant is the 1st to be built by the state to be are the power plant is expected to generate 37 megawatts of power enough to supply $30000.00 households per year. and such projects create more than just electricity . they boost employment. john says all the women under represented in the green energy sector, the german development agency, g i 's. it has set up a mentoring program to counter that. this energy project manager has taken a young student under her wing and is helping her to find an internship performance . you have to take these courses seriously and make the most of them by asking lots of questions. the electrical engineer says she remembers what her career thought was like and really wants to see change as soon done. so. i mean, out of 15 engineers, i was the only one on hey, that's already a problem, right?

it's almost like we need to raise awareness more generally to tell women that it's possible to do this g funk because it's simple simply to fit the pro fed mentoring project names to increase the proportion of women in the renewable sector from 25 percent to 40 percent in the near future. maybe you remember a report with the a few months ago about a co pallets made the bush growth. now young people in month of glasgow working on the project to produce and fire mentally friendly fuels from view new able sources. while the same time stopping trees from being cut down, what is right crease and the special thing about these projects is that german college students are quite a bright thing on the projects, the young people from both countries coming together to bring the project a step closer how to make the most efficient,

grows colors. that's one focus if unions process must, is basis at the center of innovative energy systems that does sort of university union is also working on cooking staves, to optimize the growth pellet fuel on top, which is deforestation? a motor gasket of the condition where it fits into the cold, and then we can just deliver more efficiently, those to countries in the global south and say this will help a little and understand by them what would only have a minimal effect on producing deforestation. though, and that's why we said we also need to develop a more efficient alternative fuel. the original idea came from members of the mother got the students and environmental organizations. as you pass. they constructed eco friendly stoves and made fuel pilots from compressed across the students. then brought into local communities, protesting the students from gemini, sold the projects during your visit to madagascar. i'm want you to develop it for

the tentative feel is in dire need and not a gasket. what deforestation has that a massive impact? traditionally, people have cut down to use to make charcoal fuel for cooking. 6 now only 10 percent of the original 4 is cover remains a devastating habitat last so many species on the road. miss kansas glossy is widespread in southern madagascar, wherever it enjoys rapid robust grace. locals often done it to clear fields, a dangerous technique that causes many wild 5 be occupied team identified midst comes across as a valuable resource and a source of income for residents. we are planning to make like a must seize mass production of these uh pallets. and at the same time, most production of the so specific spelled that these are not these a compatible with these uh pallets and the we are going to promote it in the whole

country. i mean, learning gemini, the students from decibels, university, aided by a local vocational school set to work on designing a solar powered pilot factory designs to enable the mass production, little tentative fuel and not a gasket. a chopping machine on hamilton, the growth independent. the choice like treat can be dismantled to face into, to shipping containments with the production costs that some 70000 euros collected by a crowd funding for the all. for if we just testing everything on the web, then to help build it will send the students who are working on the project on who are doing this is on it. but yeah, martha was out today. we worked with the school class to prepare the construction problem. for example, we pre drilled the roof from a so the on site to assembly will be easier. that way we would have to do and drilling down this, we can just screw it together. you know to them or solve missing the pilot factory

is destined and done and then go key in southern mother gasket the site was chosen because of the abundance of mrs. kansas across here on them you will enough labor will not be in april. we normally start cutting and collecting grass again. so you see of law, this is the time when it grows everywhere. yeah. but the payments, i mean case it rains after we've cut the grass in april and they will get a 2nd time they need to find me. they'll have up the on to mid 3. hundreds and the village will profit from this project were kids. yeah. and people weren't home the forest any made mity shoes on most it will be replenished with and the situation will improve and have been has have 10 times. it'll start again on notice a $35.00 quino bag of chuckle costs full year rates, the same amount of gross pilots, just $3.00, which could help the new fuel cap shown. if we are successful out that and

suffering by the scott, then we are going to spread the plan to end the picnic in the whole country. so just little if you need teen such a not for profit company to support the venture with the test phase successful, the pilot site tree has been packed in to the shipping containers. and it's expected to be set up in the augusta in october to see what it is all unique or the less substance winches. our thoughts helps us regulate heat on transport goods. we even fly to squeeze in flush of it because more and more people and also need access to these costs results. so through sandra, only 3 percent of the woods, what the result is, the drink table, the rest, the selling agent polluted or an accessible evicted from gone is drawing the

attention to the value of this important results with an equally unique campaign. but that is put on his clothes to be made recycled swimsuit and his buddies. the swimming of a loving kilometers as it has been, shall cover every day for 40 days. and that's an overall root of 450 kilometers. passing along the volta river and then to lake volta, the world's largest artificial reservoir. it's one of the few lakes and gunnar, that is so clean enough to swim is an activist in every business and type in a type as part of a scientific expedition that's seeking to draw attention to the pollution of governance waterways. so much of the reason that i'm part of this expedition and working with a cruise to do this research is because it is so encouraging and so amazing to be able to swim and simple to river like this. and i love to see the water bodies and so on and specifically across the,

the swimming the again. so this started containing against environmental collusion some 8 years ago. and that's when she came into contact with the oil foundation and environmental justice nonprofit, the organized expedition other members of the team also spend time on the water to take samples from various points along the route. here we can see the color is very different from the rest of the water that we've been as swimming along. so here is a green, it's really changes. i mean, it depends on the places where we, uh, if we are close to villages, for example, we will be collecting some samples for back to a logical checks. if we are close to factories or industrial areas, we will be checking for heavy metals. for example, like here, the other villages better, which now has a number of industrial sites like the sun mine, the pollution it creates has had a devastating impact on the local fishing industry. the area you still have lots of

fish is yeah, the overall look good. then all the fish are gone up to san mining in the leg. it has destroyed our livelihood cycle is in oklahoma. we are a fisherman. again, that's how we make a living and assessing and beginning. but now we even struggle to find enough fish to eat ourselves and not the guidelines. it goes to often. the mining industry is not totally harming the environment. it also makes the process of clarifying drinking water much more expensive the spectrum work. i would sewage a month, a settlement, and so the pension generally be brick and more often done anticipate so possible for meeting us on these problems once a week. and the, the, the 2 of us will have to be back to our what time, what are we the support that we use and that's just one problem.

chemicals and ways from households and other industries. also a good time that the water, along with many of 15000000 items of 2nd hand clothing sent, they're gone every week over 50 percent of it ends up in huge weight feeds and across the good the old foundation is loving the government, but also wants to raise public awareness, just how harmful the waste is. then for the loading waste is the ticket. so many people don't even understand that we have a 2nd. another thing coming from the, the level to the global south, or that there are other issues that are affecting the civil war to. so what we want to do is really hope to bring attention and awareness to the quality of the water and the issues that i play here to get people involved. this was the fact that the 1st swimming contain is feeling tight but optimistic that one day given the laguna and across. once again, the clean enough to swimming in 2022,

the you adopted a revised action plan to come back to the legal trade in wide life. you think lose stronger controls and strict assumptions if any animals are supported illegally from the country of all region. but on to the system takes full effect, big, predatory costs, reptiles, a red bet species continued to be brought to europe illegally. spain has become a gateway to wildlife. smoking heart is still in the wild. but now can you live within an enclosure? in a spanish animal shelter near on a counter, the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old. but she has suffered greatly caregiver belly die is nursing her back to health. a queen outside although the she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her. the government, she must have been poorly fed from the start and she's even gone blind. the private

breeder now has to face the authorities for violating the convention on international trade in endangered species. the east asian founded leopards is also an endangered species. so can you is a rarity, spain has become a gateway for a legally traded exotic species. the police often find them when inspect the ships arriving in a country or from the nearby continent of africa. maria pay us their works for a special environmental crime units. passenger luggage here that the airports, she's found birds, snakes and torches for another like it's so sad. left side topic will be so ruthless. people have no qualms about tearing these animals from their habitat or no,

not in treating them like twice instead of my being forwarded to this police. video from september 2021 shows the liberation of a female chimpanzee, who would be alone in a cage for 5 years. the illegal imports of protected animals arising in 2022 smuggling into spain increased by more than half compared to the previous year. a full service and in 3 minutes total organized criminals are often behind it up to notify ability. think of something that you need contacts and the country of origin to find the animals in it. and you need a network in europe to import them and they will seal this as a highly profitable business. vincent cable to a monkey, for example, if mike cost $5.00 or 6 years in africa, and here it can fetch 2000 euros or more high level or include so much according to

the world wildlife fund, this global business is worth billions. sophia says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons, but its impact is underestimated. a sedan and i think with adams, i'm going to go to as arms trafficking and drug smuggling, or taken more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement while in puerto bung illegal animal trafficking is just a serious, but it isn't seen a search. it's not pursued and prosecuted as often that makes these crimes even more lucrative. the 30s don't have enough specialists to investigate properly. an animals are often rescued when it's too late, as we can you the cloud of leverage the business that they lost, the yellow she's to use to people and she's blind in the wild. she would never be

able to deal with her own species. she was raised in captivity, so she's condemned to a life in captivity and go to video, especially the vis legal trade makes. can you and many other wild animals like her into products that lose their freedom forever. what's a sad story? and many people don't even realize that the trade in exotic animals threatens the biodiversity in the places with those and the most come from. but one man from december community, can you just fight it against the wide live tree exactly, crease. ambrose is on live stroke summit, but he does have a talent for photographing, and he wants to use his pictures to show that the boss, the, on the beauty of he's 90 region, he's all equal. he will be sweet a

little the is a man of many talents. he knows exactly what he's doing. and the 30 year old canyon is also a talented photographer. he says he began taking pictures to help him better understand his environment. so the one thing that does really put them into our lives, with the gravitas about it by the ocean. so i was wanted to take up the offer to help a month. so like, i'm able to identify that this has been able go. conservancy and central can yeah, i'm personally like works here off to studying wildlife management and conservation . call it by taking photos of the many animals that live here. ambrose hopes we can

raise awareness of species that evolve. ripple for reason is dangerous. many locals have seen his pictures and he often visits schools to talk to young people about the environment. what are the visions most of the like, elephant us, we left it out on the wonder if that that and, and the, the only thing that they're going to be able to use is for the program on the desk to 10 home on the new for said the outer the out that i didn't the out and they wanted to share this study. you need to of a photo. what i feeling ambridge betrays animals such as the african left, but that ad risk from poaching and lots of habits that he's even fountain red black liquids for the messiah photographer. the biggest subject to the big cats is climate change for minute. the plan space is that disappearing? yeah, yes. because of the claimant's and that is maureen's and just said yeah we, we the 5th, a very diverse did think i dropped on the on the i was i bank. so in the not be

above, that'd be for die then the low. but in the past where like, another subject is that locals have often killed liquids because the spectrum live stuff, which is the livelihood of many people here. i'm bruce's building understanding that's community level. these women used to cedar rapids as enemies. now they work to protect them as leopards, a truck to wherever is. and that means drugs they call themselves to moments or liquid mom is we have come to understand the close of each one and then put them over it. because now the formation of 3, my, my, us, me a little foods such as new sources of income, the women's collective mix jewelry and so on has now even built their own sense with the proceeds. this wild live kids results center in the middle of the savanna, at what school founded by bruce led to lie equipped with reading material and by

not kayla's. these kids are on the safari today, the bud spotting and the trip is proving inspirational. i'm going to get the with selma level. now i want to educate people of the importance i'm convinced them to still quote you or for friends of mine. now i know the children are also aware of the financial benefits of conservation. given that if i am a customer, i would like to protect these animals because they help the country is going to change it so far, it's always and brings us money. people come to see that i know and that generates revenue your best. so it helped improve people's funded of living it. so give me the name, bruce simple, this is dennis ambrose. let's tell you why. says he's optimistic about the future because it seems that young people are becoming more environmentally aware that

it's a you'd sent day. so you understand it because i did become able to learn to say to them. and so i'm going to send that to learn about 12 day. of course, i won't feed them to pick up for them on this particular, but on the line that they won't even know some names is pictures of some plants that do funding this particular area and they know the use. so that is somebody that makes me happy. the local and defense population remains a concern. in 2019400 of them were counted in the nearby loose sab conservancy. i'm ruthless so do i hopes that he's what can help ensure a safe future for them? the time just hello by this week, so fast. it was great having you with us. we hope all shield was both entertaining and informative. remember we all need to take care of the environment that's open. this week's episode. no, it is a good buy for me, right? here in comp hello, you've got a good buy for me tonight area. if you want to know more,

take out also shoot me the channels shown on your screen. i'm crusoe looms and i look forward to seeing you again next week. good by the, the the

india, the task force featured in fishermen are taking care of these marine animals. reducing danger from on east coast during the hatching season. they even help the baby turtle safely reach the ocean eco india in 30 minutes. dw african

style. whether is eunice, women's, luxury, handmade, or sustainable pieces? african designers do that. also can design or is our country in the international assessment? one of the world needs us, the world needs advocacy. give all these young designers a chance because teachers on the wrong button, give them a chance in 75 minutes on d w. the smiles. me to the the

the, the shouldn't be this warm here. it's like summer conditions in the middle of april . hard not to feel that something really is happening here. what is happening to greenland keyless climate research as well as to find out exactly the floor and the thing about ice is you have to listen and will reveal its secret

thoughts. january 12 on dw, the this is dave over the news line from southern russia launches a massive aerial assault on ukraine broth kits since he is across the country, including the capital key. more than 20 people that, that also on the program. for you and ones at 150000 people in gauze, i have no way to go israels intensifying and ground defensive just driving, desperate families to the south of the territory. but noah in gaza is safe for them . this rains at least to be flooding across the germany. many communities are under

water as rivers and streams pass that by.
