7 to 60 minutes on the dw, what secrets lie behind be discovered new adventures in 362 and explore fascinating. both heritage dw world heritage 360. now the it also says and it just acuity is an issue from the cab 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 equal africa. i am sandrica who was a 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. energy is off topic once again, but 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. off solar driven much then from germany will soon produce environmentally friendly cross products and by the task of and you wrote best upon the shall fall, receive a come back to in for trade in excel. take what lies a photograph of amber's, the to do our shows of how animal pull traits on the press 3 to protect the 1st 5 diversity the energy translation can kind of feed africa in numerous ways. it's a jesus dependence on expensive climate damage in force. it feels on it brings

energy to remote regions quickly and easily. it also opens up new opportunities to find those thoughts. sustainable systems. currently, many african countries are upgrading or expanding the any defect is this tap is a life saver. every day it gives people from nearby village is clean water, something that can't be taken for granted in this rural part of central ivory coast . okay. yep. i know possibly 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, the little southcourt is telling jenny c for click on. so the water has to be pumped from under ground to, 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 a 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 and you might, the beginning, there was only one unit test because there was only one house to supply this one of quite a then came the girl center of monday and after that the settlement expanded. okay . with 3 new buildings, sweetheart. and a little button, 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 for this. it's not just ivory coast to rural of 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 diploma federation. so they could speak to the government with one voice. for example, when it comes to dealing with surface 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 weren'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 to invest this amount of money into. so that's a pressing question for invest as, as ivory coast has pledge to increase the shape of renewables and 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 that target. the 78 heck to facility overseen by the state of the c i n a cheese cost 14000000 euros. it was made possible by a load from germany's k f w development bank. and doug crunch from the european union on the call with aiming to produce

$5100.00 megawatts of electricity for cookies was including around $400.00 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. building the power plant is expected to generate $37.00 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 count to that. this energy project manager has taken a young student under her wing and is helping her to find an internship. one of the 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 in a certain dump. i mean, out of 15 engineers, i was the only woman that's already a problem, right?

that we need to raise awareness more generally to tell women that it's possible to do this g funk because it's simple, seem to fit 0 for the pro fair mentoring project themes to increase the proportion of women in the renewables sector from 25 percent to 40 percent in the near future . it may be, you remember a report with the a few months ago about a co pay. alex made the boost grosse now young people in month of glasgow working on a project to produce and fire, mentally friendly fuels from view new able sources. what are the same time stopping trees from being cuts down? what is right, crease and the special thing about these projects is the german college students. a quite a bright thing on the project. the young people from both countries coming together to bring the project a step closer. how to make the most efficient grove.

that's one focus if you williams process must as bases the center of innovative energy systems that does little of university union is also working on a cooking stage to optimize the growth, pilot, fuel and help reduce deforestation and motor gasket of the condition where it fits into the core 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 for what would only have a minimal effect on reducing deforestation that. 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 student and environmental organization. as you pass, they constructed eco friendly, staves, and made fuel pilots, from compressed across. the students then brought into local communities, protesting the students from gemini, sold the projects during a visit to madagascar. i'm want you to develop it so that what tentative fuel is in

dire need and not a gasket. what deforestation has that have massive impact? traditionally, people have cut down to use to make taco fuel for cooking. 6 now only 10 percent of the original 4 is cut the remains a devastating habits are lost. 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 wildfires 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 see mass production of these uh pallets and at the same time, most production of the suspicious exposure that these uh, these uh, compatible with these uh,

pallets and the we are going to promote it in the whole country. meanwhile, in germany, the students from difficulty university, aided by a local vocational school set to work on designing a solar powered pilot factory designs to enable the mass production level, tentative fuel, and not a gasket. the machine, hamilton, the grass independent scene twice like 3 can be dismantled to states into 2 shipping containments with adoption costs of some 70000 euros collected by a crowd funding all 4. if we just testing everything on the web, then to help build it, we'll send of a students who are working on the project on who are doing this thing sees on it. but yeah, martha is out today. we worked with the school class to prepare the construction problem. for example, we pre drilled the roof from i. so the on site to assembly will be easier. that way we would have to do and drilling down this and we can just screw it together and

off to them as homeless and 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 know me. well enough late 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 here. but the payments, i mean, case it rains after we've gotten the crust in april and then we'll get a 2nd tom. and you need to follow me. fill out about 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 shoot on most it will be replenished with in this situation will improve and have been has a 10 times. it'll start again on a $35.00 quino bag of charcoal cost, 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 i'm to

supplement the gift card, then we are going to spread the plan to end the 2nd 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 factory has been faxed in to the shipping containers and its expected to be set up in mount augusta in october to see what is all unique odorless substance. dont quenches or thoughts helps us regulate heat on transport goods. we even fly to squeeze in slots of it because more and more people and also need access to these costs results. so through sandra, only 3 percent of the woods water result is a drink about the rest. the solid and aged, polluted or an accessible evicted from gone is drawing attention to the value of

this important results with an equally unique campaign. but tulsa is put on head costing, made recycled, seems due to the studies this women of a 11 kilometers is a distance, will 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 in 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 gone as 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 other works of buddies and so on. and specifically across the, the swimming the,

again took this down to competing against environmental collusion some 8 years ago . and that's when she came into contact with the oil foundation and environmental justice nonprofit that organized expedition. the other members of the team also spend time on the water, the, the examples of 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 he 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 village of 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 to this, you know, up to san minding and the leg has destroyed our livelihood cycle is. yeah. oklahoma we are a fisherman. again. that's how we make a living and assessing and it's an end. but now we even struggle to find enough fish to eat ourselves and not the guidelines it goes to often on the mining industry is going to only harming the environment. it also makes the process of purifying drinking water much more expensive the spectrum work, i would sewage a month, a settlement, and so the pension generally the book and more often done, anticipate so possible for meeting us on these forms also both and the, the, the 2 of us will have to be back to our what time and what are we done most of what we use and that's just one problem. chemicals and ways from households

and other industries. also good time. they the water long with many of 15000000 items of 2nd hand clothing center gone every week. well, the 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, the important clothing waste in particular for 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 policy if i want to. so what we want to do is really hope to bring attention in 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 2 men contain is feeling tight but optimistic that one day given the laguna and across. once again,

the clean enough to swim in and 2022, the you adopted a revised action plan to come back to the legal trade in wide life. you think lose stronger controls and strictest functions. if the animals are supported illegally from the country of all region, but on to the system takes full effect. big predatory cost rep calls a red bet species continued to be brought to europe illegally. spain has become a gateway to wildlife small gland. her heart is still in the wild. but now can you live as 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. queen, outside the yellow, she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her. so that means she must have been poorly fed from the start of my life 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 around living in a country or from the nearby continent of africa. maria pay us their works for a special environmental crime unit. passenger luggage here that the airports. she's found birds, snakes, and tortoises. for another like it's so sad. left side topic will be so ruthless. people have no problems about tearing these animals from their habitat. told them no,

not in treating them like twice when i say that i'm 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 are rising in 2022 smuggling into spain increased by more than half compared to the previous year. full service and 3 minutes. total organized criminals are often behind it. tough to notify ability. think of some of the things you need contacts in 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 benson 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. so if you d as says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons, but it's impact is under estimated a sedan. and i think all the items that i think a little as farms tried looking in drug smuggling or taken more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement twilio on illegal animal trafficking is just a serious, but it doesn't seem to such, 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 fact 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 through this with this illegal trade makes can you? and many of the 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 on the most come from both what men from december community and can you just fight it against the white life tree exactly, crease. ambrose is on live stroke. summit, but he does have the talent for photographing and he wants to use his pictures to show that the boss, the on the beauty of he's 90 region is all equal. he will be sweet

the i'm bruce let. so it is a man of many talents. he knows exactly what he's doing and the 30 year old can be and is also a talented photographer. he says he began taking pictures to help him better understand his environment. and so the one thing that the put them into i live at the i've used about it by the washing. so i was just wanted to take up the offer to hop on. but so like, i'm able to identify that this has been able go conservancy and central can. yes. i'm bruce little wi works here off to studying wildlife management and conservation at the college by taking photos of the many animals that live here ambrose hopes we can raise awareness of spc that

a vulnerable for reason is dangerous. many locals have seen his pictures and he often visits schools to talk to young people about the environment. what the vision most of the like, elephant us, we left it out on the other. wonder if that thread and the, the only thing that they're gonna be able to use is for the program on the just attend. i'm on the new officiated the out of the out that i didn't the out and they want to share their study. you need to of a frontal what i feeling i'm verse betrays animals such as the african left, but that at risk from poaching. i lots of habits. it's. he's even fountain red black liquids for the messiah photography that the biggest subject to the big cats is climate change for minute the plants speech is that disappearing? yeah, just because of the claimant's and there is no veins in this area we, we face a very diverse 3rd thing, k,

the drug. and i'm the because i may so in the not be above, that'd be for die then the low button and end up watchman. by another thread is that locals have often killed liquids because the 2nd live still, which is the livelihood of many people here. i'm bruce's building understanding that's community level. these women used to see, let the does 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 soap. and has no even built their own sense with the proceeds. this wild lives kids resort center in the middle of the savannah . what school founded by i'm bruce led to lie equipped with reading material and by

not kayla's. these kids are on the safari today. the book, spotty, and the trip is proving inspirational. i'm going to get the with selma who level now i want to educate people of the importance i'm convinced them to still quote you now 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, and that generates revenue your best. so it helped improve people standard of living it. so give me the name, bruce simple. if it was done, this is literally why says he's optimistic about the future because it seems that young people are becoming more environmentally aware that it's

a you had sent day. so you just send it because i did become able to land to say that i'm and so i'm going to just send that to learn about 12 day. of course, i won't feed him to take a 4th about this particular, but on the line that he won't even know some names is pictures of the some plants that do funding this particular area and they know the use. so that is somebody that makes me happy. the local defence population remains that consists in 2019400 of them were counted in the nearby lou cyber conservancy. and bruce, let's so do i hopes that he's what can help ensure a safe future for them? the time, just so 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 this week's episode. no, it is a good buy for me right here. in comp, hello, uganda. and good bye for me tonight area. if you want to know more,

take out also shoot me the channels shown on your screen. i've cruise the lens and i look forward to seeing you again next week. good by the of the

hello and welcome to another edition of the 77 percent. we investigate the phenomenon of faith process, who use god. read on the gospel to money plates and exploits vulnerable. people. look at a house from past as a findings, sneaky waves of an origin themselves. the 77 percent,
