8:35 pm
a conflict to spread to more regions. when they play movies, how to change, we solve very little of this. but over the past one or 2 decades, we have seen an increase in these conflicts because climate change is pushing people to move from the not the way this out in sight of water and food for the i must be on the edge of the style. unpredictable rain falls and increasing dropped combined with population growth means there's multiple petition for fertile ground. so the foot of me and the heads are moving into new areas, impacting not only fields, but also a valuable echo system. how's governments and governor has failed to set aside raising areas where the capital the food in the head is also face criticism. additional money, the numbers of the most it is there's in this group needs
8:36 pm
a bad modification in a large scale where i disagree. this abortion solely for the most, but i also seem to look ever about, keep, i should not go beyond these numbers and responses to go and conference in north and gone to the catholic church, set up a center for the config transformation and peace studies. it's you have a herdsman, a son module, and follow a real bobby underwood. i took the variances for maybe ation and the farmers still demanding compensation for legit call damage. organization also known as circle task, has mediators trained to diffuse thoughts, conflicts, effect until december. some additional team was just about to have that in front of what's escalating to a very high level, the police station, the working just just to the police and in the world of this, that new production of this position has moved from
8:37 pm
a and here by the bush and very good. in this case, the mediators rule that the model doesn't have to pay compensation. but we'll, if it happens again, the farmer accept the ruling, wasn't able to prove any serious damage to his trees. seco tap says it has helped peacefully resolve more than 600 cases in 2020, with london resources and ever sure to supply. fostering a dialogue between farmers and the hud is clearly advisor. first step to its peaceful coexistence into what region forests have a so many benefits full, the environment, including climate regulation, providing war to team the energy buying de la city. and so much more bought the, disappearing off, and then allow me great over. the last thing is can you as far as color has dropped from 10 percent to just 6 percent of the countries surface area. but there is some
8:38 pm
good news over the past 3 years, more than 5000 people. what illegally and closed on then set to the in some parts of 10 years to reassure forest. i've chosen to move out. this has paved the way for not through a forest. the generation, a strong hands for dial soil and water. from this simple starter kit, many trees will grow here at the edge of the curve, easy a forest in central kenya. some bir, or women grow seedlings by the hundreds and a community on nursery. once the siblings would sure they're put into the ground, the women receive funding from the government and various n g o's. 80000 seedlings have been planted so far. since a m. c a t m. i started to keep on the tree. nurseries have been a real benefit to us to do with these things is that we can earn money with us and that so we can pay school fees for our children to watch with local finance have or
8:39 pm
we can start a business at the moment. i'm 50 but that's a recent development until 2020 few some but real gave much thought to reforestation, to make charcoal many jump down trees and the korea forest covering 92000 heck stairs this forest reserve feeds many large rivers and is an important source of water and otherwise errands assemble, ro county over the decades. thousands of people settled in or near the forest and let their cattle grains their this unregulated use of the forest and its resources eventually destroyed one 3rd of its total area. the some burro then realize that the over exploitation of the forest natural resources was putting their future at risk in the body for the we were having to track 5 kilometers to fetch water damage . the forest was clearly dine provoking, regular conflicts with other tribes over water and land. so in late 2019 december,
8:40 pm
we decided to leave the forest county us national broadcast or k, b. c picked up on the story. some of the families have already left the forest with others demolishing the houses as they prepare to leave the forest. those offered to see the one not forced out of the forest, but the king following, turning the what could have been a source of conflict between the government and the local community. was resolved peacefully. i think moving our way he does without force from the government. oh, the for this is something unique in the world. so i think we but we, nobody forced us and nobody we just saw our appropriate. we saw that the most i bang you and without busta was a losing life. when we go to look for stuff room and our neighbors. so we've seen the problems i knew say the best way to solve this problem is to move out of the
8:41 pm
forest. and we, we take care of what a sort of that was, what it's going to take care of last month. once the decision had been made, december were offered support from various groups, including the un food and agriculture organization, which served as an intermediary. we've identified together the capacity needs of the key stakeholders to 3, then to 5 foot and says, what were the needs in managing the forest and ensuring that the default of just control and the also ensuring access and the really sustainable use of the 4 digits of your sources as such as making honey after being trained in sustainable be keeping by local and international n g o's, honey production has really taken off. the community earns nearly $30000.00 bureaus a year from the harvest, most to get the up to one time. maybe in 2 months or is this uh,
8:42 pm
some of the benefits that getting because before the data, not these things. when chris see on the outskirts of the crazy, a forest december, out building a future for themselves. that doesn't come at the expense of the environment. slowly but surely the floor and phone are starting to flourish again. the main goal in year old climate change is making some of hops. a and fry include in and so then spring farm us. yeah, i'll having to apply all the new hall to keep the fields irrigated and you might be surprised to hear that they are not planning to new techniques. a lot of the know how dates all the way back to the as shouldn't malls, they invented, sprayed over 1300 years ago. and some of the funding methods still work well to be
8:43 pm
stay off of perez is 95 years old, but he still lands a hand when he's needed. the hardly anyone in his village knows the old irrigation system as well as he does the same. the water and the canals was always the greatest thing for me to return to their fields with it. we lived from those canals. so the, the other, the, the, in the 8th century, the more is built a complex network of canals in the mountains at the awful hot are region in southern spain. even today, the irrigation ditches are still used taco and his son antonio use the system to water, their pepper crops. so they're benefiting from the moorish legacy. now
8:44 pm
they had only got a system i left as something very important and the, even though the romans built irrigation canals, some of the higher it's perfect the but many of the districts hasn't been used for years. that's why they're restoring them in cooperation with archaeologist. jose, muddy and martine c. fontose. the says the benefits go far beyond farming. not a good place you on a well like this one here are very important to the environment. now if it creates life, i'm being thought of some of the water seasons and appears further down below about getting an hour. if i thought the guessing seems that way the system contribute to greater bio diversity, emma, different when i that i'm the rest of the network of canals prevents the water from draining too quickly. water that's becoming increasingly scarce. papa says there's no denying climate change anymore. yeah, yeah, well who do i have? it hasn't snowed in my village for 18 years. you know,
8:45 pm
12 ever before we always had to sweep the snow off of the flat roofs and onto the street for our kind. sometimes we'd have snow for 15 days, 20 days a month. those days are over. reservoir show the notorious water scarcity. and yet spain is farming more and more tropical foods, like mangoes and all the condos which need lots of water. as a result, farmers rely increasingly on automated systems that deliver water to individual plans. drop by drop, the agricultural engineer, eduardo maldonado, says the old canals are obsolete because water seeps out in, evaporates as it's transported for the river. and i going to go to put on the trip irrigation. what is the future to live in through not available, it's much more efficient and can be implemented on the old types of firms for saving these out of implants are feeling to get people that go to deal with
8:46 pm
something. tennessee will go might the houses to save between 40 and 60 percent of what are what ends up within the fan. so that goes away. i'll go in. antonio's lawrence impressed the continue to water deerfield with what comes from the moorish irrigation canals. but they recognize that it's not profitable for big farming operations. although most of these days a lot of one person has to do many jobs, all important. so, but that's the real reason why they're switching to automated drip irrigation because it's not because it's better know because how my new book or somehow ocoee ologist view, the moorish irrigation ditches as being more contemporary than ever. and that's why they're trying to learn from the seniors and the villages of apple. honda. in general, the i'm only read on the knowledge has been forgotten or st. and then what if we look at the efficiency from several points of view and also environmental benefits of the system. these are much more effective and also more tomorrow,
8:47 pm
especially against the backdrop of climate change. today technical julian deanna come fix, so they come to the magical cellphone and palace that there are fewer and fewer traditional farmers using the old canals that makes it more difficult to keep them more so legacy alive. it's probably a season from 4 digits to combat drought installs in you to fighting plastic pollution itself. easton off because we had now to mozambique to meet a young entropy. new a. she started a business, the mix, the most of west as a resource, and reduces it in more ways. don, one of the, the $3000000.00 tons of sugar cane are harvested in the plantations of mozambique every year and processed mainly into sugar. this produces large
8:48 pm
quantities of waste, which could be used to avoid other weight, but thought occurred to covina cocoa gem of her company coco boxes in the capital of my pluto manufacturers paper bags from sugar cane waist mushroom busy. so we produced different types of paper bags. we make them in different sizes, from small to logins, of mileage. the pulpy, fibrous sugar cane waste is turned into paper. the end product bags made from sugar cane waist or by gas as it's known. the company started 3 years ago. it now makes 5000 bags a week. a low resource replacement for plastic bags is low. so products and non toxic, unlike polyurethane. so they don't contain talks in the state of plastic waste as a major problem in mozambique, as it is in all countries with poor waste management, a lot of plastic trash watches into the ocean and harms marine life. this is
8:49 pm
another reason why customers welcome alternatives, such as the co code bags. this applies to these plastics taken average 400 years to decompose in nature. so the main thing is that this is an environment the least fun . neil tentative sometime exploring bean coco wants to expand production of her sugar cane bags. think big is her motto. because for her the banks are more than just a source of income. does that give us the middle? so if i were to win any a world, it should be from my mission. no, because i'm such a great entrepreneur much, but because of our mission and the goals we set to publish it easy for those who object to what plans are some of the most precious a most stretching equal systems on that planet. they need to be properly looked after, not just because they're happy to us for some of the species, but also because they provide vital services with humans,
8:50 pm
will visit on archipelago and nothing. you need to see all kinds of vision that fits the help and they just the 5 of protecting the interest of the local communities at the same time level. well, good luck. if you go run fast, this young title has made it as have many of its siblings. you have on the trip style items, local eco gods have kept the egg safe from poach as an a. now shielding the baby totals from the as they slip all the way across the beach. protecting the nesting areas is a community effort. when i need the zip o better we have all eco gone see to watch morning and evening for the from the village themselves. now, good just by the very presence, by educating their families, if they're all weapons, aren't that either nobody touches anything of it. so if that's and i like this one
8:51 pm
is to show the local eco gods have been working with an own conservation core link to the news environment, ministry since 2013. that's when the true stone islands were grounded, the status of marine protected area. your arrangement was the combination of a 7 year process. the combined the island of knowledge and experience with input from scientific and government bodies. one of the chief organizes explain the approach on the bottom of that, we set up a consultation framework when people were free to express themselves, often in the own lawsuit language to express what they wanted. we've then transformed the results of this consultation framework into a management plan. this is how the management committee, for example, came into being was it's local branches. i've accepted the money to my local is that you still islands are a mixed germans, mangroves mudflats,
8:52 pm
forests and sun banks facing the atlantic ocean. these largely undisturbed ecosystems are a june of bio diversity, but rising sea levels are putting pressure on the local communities in 2023 seawall to flooded one 5th of the rice fields. the. some 20 families form the management committee to work together and build tanks to protect the fields. the initiative is part of an intelligent conservation approach that aims to reduce human impacts in bio diversity hotspots. traditionally rise farm is such as up to le caught check, would move to milford land every few years. and that meant cutting the mangrove forests. once they became aware of the damage that caused, they decided to stay put, you know, to move. there was a mangrove restoration project. we realized it made no sense to plant main groves in one place and just cut them down somewhere else. so we keep the fertile fields
8:53 pm
we have and don't go clearing elsewhere. would you be the mind guy of trees on twist though a vital for bio diversity? i'm a juicing coastal erosion at the local eco gone from the conservation. coal carry out making a patrols on this tool. the conservation co offices sparks, the trees have been filed. a good idea about, hey, come you. why has this would been cut under the watchful gaze of the eco gods. the crew unloads its touch. these rays will quickly endangered a tense discussion followed as the official unexplained themselves and the conservation cole officer lays out the safety of uh, 5th official note. did we tell them to release them back into the sea? continued mistake you more? if they are already dead, we ask them why they caught them, explain why they should go out and catch them another day on purpose. that's up.
8:54 pm
what happened was put it this time efficient men get away with a warning. eventually this community base conservation effort aims to win over everyone on the trip. so i like a story. the goals to show a lot how much can be achieved when people understand why protecting the environment is important. we've come to the very end of this week. so we hope it has given you something to think about. am sandra holmes, that we know do sign and go from complex, right to you? going to see you soon, sandra and to viewers. don't forget to check us out on social media. and remember, you can always get in touch with your thoughts and ideas on making all well the safe and green a place. but now it's good by for me. chris lives in nigeria. so you next time the
