6 and explore fascinating, both heritage selling dw world heritage $360.00. now the it also says 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 that coming to from complex right to and you're going to know, let's say, 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
2:31 pm
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, soon produced environmentally friendly cross products and 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 animal pull traits on the press 3 to protect the earth, biodiversity and they did so on. so you 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 in the district is this tap is
2:32 pm
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, a little south, we'll just tell jenny c for on. 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 it be if it can fill out a new one? at the beginning, there was only one unit test because there was only one house to supply this one
2:33 pm
play. then came the girl center of monday and after that the settlement expanded. okay. with 3 new buildings suite one 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 panels arrays here for this. it's not just ivory coast rule 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 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 you when you weren't able to consume all the solar energy you produce. and you can't diverted to the grid,
2:34 pm
you lose out. and that reduces the added value of solar investments. and this is a month, oh my goodness. that's a pressing question for invest as, as ivory coast has pledged to increase the shape of renewables and its energy mixed to 42 percent by 2013 in the north of the country. the book g r. the solar farm is the 1st of more than a dozen project aimed at reaching the target. the 78 heck to a 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 doug 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 sects upon us, but the bungee any power plant is the 1st to be built by the state. building the
2:35 pm
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, although 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. 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 dumps. 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 cuz it simple seem to defend 0 for the pro fed mentoring project names to increase the proportion of women in the renewable sector from 25
2:36 pm
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 a project to produce and fire mentally friendly, feels from view new able sources, while the same time stopping trees from being cuts down. what is right, crease and the special thing about this project is that the german college students calibrating on the projects the young people from both countries coming together to bring the project a step closer to to make the most efficient growth pilot. that's one focus. if unions process must is, this is the center of innovative energy systems that does little of university
2:37 pm
union is also working on cooking staves, to optimize the growth pilot, fuel and help reduce deforestation in motor gasket or 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 students and environmental organization. as you pass. they constructed eco friendly stoves and made fuel pallets from compressed across the students then brought into local communities for testing. the students from gemini sold the projects during a visit to madagascar. i'm want you to develop it so that what kind of feel is in dire need and not a gasket. what deforestation has out of massive impact. traditionally, people have cut down to use to make taco fuel for cooking. 6 now
2:38 pm
only 10 percent of the original 4 is covered remains a devastating habitat last so many species allowed miss kansas glossy is widespread instead of mount a gasket wherever it enjoys rapid robust grace. locals often done it to clear fields. a dangerous technique that causes many wildfires the 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 spell 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 level,
2:39 pm
tentative fuel, and not a gasket. a chopping machine on hamilton, the gross, independent, the 20th century can be dismantled to states into, to shipping containments with adoption 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, 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. you know, cuz i'm showing this 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 for the long they will not be in april. we
2:40 pm
normally start cutting and collecting grass again. so you see of law, this is the time when it grows everywhere. ha, 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 live up until 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 it didn't, has it on the thought of getting a 35 quino bag of chuckle costs full year rates, the same amount of gross pilots, just 3, which could help the new fuel cap shown. if we are successful out that in the suffering, the scott, then we are going to spread the plant, the end, the 2nd in the whole country. the just little of you need teen have such
2:41 pm
a 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 mount augusta in october to see what is our unique odorless substance. don't quench is our 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, what the result is, a drinkable the rest, the selling agent polluted or an accessible evicted from. gone is drawing attention to the value of this important results with an equally unique campaign. but tulsa has put on his custody and made recycled swimsuit and his varies the swimming of a 11 kilometers is
2:42 pm
a distance you'll 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 tetra 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'd love to see other water bodies and so on. and specifically across the, the swimming boat again, started, started competing against environmental collusion some 8 years ago. and that's when she came into contact with the oil foundation and environmental justice nonprofit,
2:43 pm
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 that the color is very different from the rest of the water that we've been 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 tests. if we are close to factories or industrial areas, we will be checking for heavy metals, for example. like yeah, 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 is to have lots of fish this. yeah, the overall look good. then all the fish are gone to is you know, up to san mining and the leg has destroyed our livelihood sign. a cool is yeah.
2:44 pm
like, well i'm, you know, we are a fisherman. again, that's how we make a living and assessing and defending. but now we even struggle to find enough fish to eat ourselves and the guidelines. augusta often on the mining industry is not the 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 be brick and more often done at discrete so possible for meeting us on these problems once a week. and the end of 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 in other industries. also a good time. they the water, along 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
2:45 pm
the old foundation is loving the government, but also wants to raise public awareness just how harmful the waste is the important 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 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 this feeling time 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 planned to come back to the legal trade and wide life. it includes strong controls and strictest functions if any animals are supported illegally from
2:46 pm
the country of all region. but on to the system takes full effect, big predatory costs. reptiles read that species continued to be brought to europe illegally. spain has become a gateway to wildlife. smoke like a heart is still in the wild. but now can your 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 although the she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her. so that means 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
2:47 pm
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 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 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
2:48 pm
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 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're d as says the illegal animal trays comes a 3rd after drugs of weapons, but its impact is underestimated. or she didn't even tell people the
2:49 pm
people it will ask 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 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 through this with this legal trade mix. can you
2:50 pm
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 on the most come from. but one man from december community, can you just fight it against the white life tree? the exactly, crease. ambrose is on livestock summit, but he does have the talent for photographing and he wants to use his pictures to show that the boss, the and the beauty of he's 90 region is all equal. he will be sweet. the little the is a man of many talents. he knows exactly what he's doing. and the 30 year old
2:51 pm
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 a lot of different, they'll grab this about about the washing. 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 of college by taking photos of the many animals that live here ambrose hopes we can raise awareness of species that are available for reason it's dangerous. many locals have seen his pictures and he often visits schools to talk to young people about the environment, the what the vision most of the like,
2:52 pm
elephant as well as did alpha and the other 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 just attend home on the new for said the out of the out that i didn't the out and they want to share this study. you need to of a photo. what are feeling? i'm verse 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 catch is climate change for minute. the plan space is that disappearing? yeah, yes. because of the claimant's and there is no rains in this area. we, we, the 5th, a very invested thing kind of dropped on the, on the, because i bank. so in the not be about every 4 day, then the low but in the past where like, another threat is that the locals have open killed liquids because they select and
2:53 pm
live stop, which is the livelihood of many people. here ambrose is building understanding, that's the community level. these women used to see, let, that does enemies. now they work to protect them. as leopards attracts to wherever is. and that means drugs they call themselves to mom is 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 of me a little foods such as new sources of income, the women's collective mix jewelry and so on has no even built their own sense uh, with the proceeds this wild lives kids resort center in the middle of the savannah, 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 book, spotty, and the trip is proving inspirational. i'm going to get the with selma who level
2:54 pm
now i want to educate people of the importance i'm convinced them to still quote you all for fun. so 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 say and it or safari, 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 gives me the name, growth of simple if instead of amber's, let's totally why says he's optimistic about the future because it seems that young people are becoming more environmental. the aware that is how you would since day. so you're just sending because i did become able to learn to say that i'm, it's so i'm coming to this send that to learn about 12 day. of course, i won't feed him to take off with about this particular, but on the line that he won't even know some names is pictures of the some plants
2:55 pm
that do funding this particular area and they know the use. so that is somebody that makes me happy. the local elephant population remains a concern. in 2019400 of them were counted in the nearby loose sab conservancy amber's. let's 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 all this week's episode. no, it is a good buy for me, right? yet you comp, 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'm chris adams, and i look forward to seeing you again next week. good by
