9:30 am
for every weekend on d w. well, the in progress pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic that concerned about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w talk costs the offices and it just secuity 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 the coming to from complex right to and you're going to know, let's say,
9:31 am
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, 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. also driven motion from jimmy, well, super to use environmentally friendly cross products and by the task up and you wrote best buy initial pharmacy. i'll come back to him for trade in excel. take wed like a photograph of ambrose, the to our shows of how animal port rates are the press 3 to protect the 1st 5 diversity the n i. d transmissions 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
9:32 am
energy to remote regions, picky and easily. it also opens up new opportunities to find the thoughts sustainable systems. currently, many african countries upgrading or expanding the end of the 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. mariah 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, we'll just tell jenny c for on. so the water has to be pumped from the 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 the home for teenage girls now has full water towers and $24.00 solar panels with
9:33 am
a total output of $4500.00 watts. that's enough to power the drinking water lighting, refrigeration, and communications. would it be if it can fill out in 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, suite part 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 for the nice it's not just ivory coast, 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 to form a federal ration. so they could speak to the government with one voice. for example, when it comes to dealing with surface electricity, the sweat don't,
9:34 am
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 velocity and then this is some of my goodness. so 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 owed to c, i n a cheese cost 14000000 euros. it was made possible by a load from jimmy's k f w development bank. and doug drunk from the european union of the comb with aiming to produce $5100.00 megawatts of
9:35 am
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 plants is the 1st to be built by the state to. 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 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 woman that's already a problem right there,
9:36 am
from what we need to raise awareness more generally to tell women that it's possible to do this just for fun because it's simple, seem to fit in 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. it may be, you remember a report with the a few months ago about a co pay. alex made the bush grosse. now, young people in month of glasgow working on the project to produce and fire, mentally friendly fuels from view new able sources. what are the same time stopping trees from being cut 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,
9:37 am
grow, sell it. that's one focus if you williams process must as pieces the center of innovative energy systems that does sort of university union is also working on cooking staves, to optimize the growth pilot, fuel and help reduce deforestation and motor gasket of the condition. or if it's into the cold and then we can just deliver more efficiently, those to countries in the global south and say this will help you not wish to invite them for one 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 organizations. as you pass, they constructed eco friendly, staves, and made fuel pallets from compressed growth. the students then broke into local communities, protesting the students from jim, and he sold the projects during a visit to madagascar. i'm want you to develop it. so the tentative fuel is in dire
9:38 am
need and not a gasket. what deforestation has out of 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 cut the remains a devastating habitat last, the many species on, on, on miss kansas golf is widespread in southern madagascar, wherever it enjoys rapid robust grace locals. often, bennett, to clear fields, a dangerous technique that causes many wild fires be occupied team identified mis 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 stover that these a lot these uh, compatible with these uh,
9:39 am
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 level, tentative fuel, and not a gasket. a chopping machine on hamilton, the growth independent, the 20th century can be dismantled to states into 2 shipping containments, with the production costs of 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 is 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?
9:40 am
cuz i'm showing them 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 not leave 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 gotten across in april and then we'll get a 2nd tom and you need to find me a lot of 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 shoot on most it will be replenished with and the situation will improve and have been has a 10 times. it'll start again on 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
9:41 am
suffering by the scott, then we are going to spread the plan to end the technique in the whole country. digital if you need team, etc, and not for profit company to support the venture with the test phase successful, the pilot factory has been packed in to the shipping containers and it's expected to be set up in mont augusta in october to see what it is all unique or the less substance winches our thoughts helps us regularly teach on transport goods. we even fly to squeeze in lots of it because more and more people and also need access to these costs resource. 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
9:42 am
equally unique can pay you. but that is put on his clothes to be made recycled swimsuit and his buddies. this women of 11 kilometers is 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 swimming and activist in every business and type in a touch as part of a scientific expedition. seeking to draw attention to the pollution of gunners, 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'd love to see other water bodies and so on, and specifically across the, the swimming. the again,
9:43 am
still just 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 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 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
9:44 am
fish is yeah. the overall look good. then all the fish are gone to this. you know up to san mining in the leg. it 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 the guidelines it goes to often. the mining industry is not totally harming the environment. it also makes the process of purifying drinking water, much more expensive the spectrum what i would sewage a month, a settlement. and so the principal, generally the book and more often done a dispute. so possible for meeting us on these forms also boost and the, the, the 2 of us will have to be back to around what time, what are we going to support that we use and that's just one problem.
9:45 am
chemicals and ways from households and other industries. also a good time to watch a lot with many of 15000000 items of 2nd hand clothing center 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. the important clothing waste is the ticket. so many people don't even understand that we have a 2nd, i'm pulling and coming from the global to the global south, or that there are other issues that are affecting the policy of our water. 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 lagoon and across once again the clean enough to swim in. in
9:46 am
2022, the you adopted a revise action planned to come back to the legal trade in wide life. it includes strong to controls and strict assumptions. if any animals are supported illegally from the country of all region. well until the system takes full effect. big, predatory costs reptiles, a red bed species continued to be brought to europe illegally. spain has become a gateway to wildlife smoke like a heart is still in the wild with no kenya lives in an enclosure in a spanish animal shelter near a country. 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 of the old grandmother, she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her to the man. she must have been poorly fed from the start of my life and she's even gone blind. the private breeder now has to
9:47 am
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. the left side topic will be so ruthless, people have no problems about tearing these animals from their habitat. no,
9:48 am
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 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. and you do need a network in europe to import them and they will seal this is a highly profitable business being taken care of. but a monkey, for example, might 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,
9:49 am
this global business is worth billions. sophia says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons, but its impact is underestimated. that she didn't even think of the items i'm going to go to as arms trafficking and drug smuggling, or taken more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement, wiley and border funds. 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 if that the last, the yellow she is to use to people and she's blind in the wild. she would never be
9:50 am
able to deal with her own species. she was raised in captivity, so she's condemned to a life in captivity and go through video, especially the vis legal trade mix. can you and many other wild animals like current 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 bio diversity in the places with those. and the most come from both one man from december community and kenya is fighting against the wide live tree the exactly crease. ambrose is on live, spoke summit, but he does have the talent for photographing, and he wants to use his pictures to show the device the and the beauty of he's 90 region is all equal. he will be sweet.
9:51 am
the little the is a man of many talents. he knows exactly what he's doing. and the search a 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 i live with the visa about about the washing. so i was wanted to take up the offer to hop a month. so like i'm able to identify that this has been able go conservancy and central can yes. i'm listening to live works here off to studying wildlife management and conservation of college by taking photos of the many animals that live here ambrose hopes we can raise awareness of spc that are
9:52 am
valuable for reason and danger. 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 does. so i left it out on the wonder if that thread and the, the only thing that they're gonna be able to use is what the, on the just attend. i'm on the new officiated the out of the out that i didn't to add onto that one. to share this study, you need to of a photo. what i feeling ambridge betrays animals such as the african left, but that at risk from poaching and lots of habits that he's even found to in red black let's. it's for the messiah photographer, the biggest subject to the big cats is climate change for a minute. the plan space is that disappearing? yeah. just because of the claimant's and there is no rains in this area. we, we, the 5th, a very diverse did think i dropped on the,
9:53 am
on the because i bank so in the not be above, that'd be for die then the low. but in the past where like, another threat is that locals have often killed liquids because the 2nd live stuff, which is the livelihood of many people. here, ambrose is building understanding that's community level. these women used to cedar rapids as enemies. now they work to protect them as leopards, a truck taurus, and that means drugs they call themselves to momma's 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
9:54 am
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 who level now i want to educate people of the importance i'm convinced them to still quote you now or for, for some long island. so 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 to safari tours and brings us money. people come to see that i know and, and that generates revenue your best. so it helped improve people's funded, of living it and, and the name of the for the 1st and it was literally why says he's optimistic about the future because it seems that young people are becoming more environmentally aware. that is how you would sent day. so you just send me because
9:55 am
i did become able to land to say that i'm and so i'm coming to this 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 make me happy, the local listen to population remains that consists in 2019400 of them were counted in the nearby lou sabbott conservancy. 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,
9:56 am
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,

double you have you already forgot that forgetting is necessary for breeding's use to store some things in order to keep the important thing. when does forget to become a disease friend weren't offer you in the development of progress against alzheimer's and dementia. so please, don't forget to watch to laura today in 90 minutes on d w. the . it shouldn't be this warrant 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 grievance ice research as well as to find out
9:59 am
exactly how to think about i see you have to listen and to reveal its secret thoughts, january 12 on d, w. so you don't think and feel the same way you expect. and one different things from life and your parents. i just want to pursue what that's nice on fire or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable, all stuff. i want my son to become a doctor, to in the clouds. it's time to to and then when generations to
