12:30 pm
on the project, cassandra, in 2016, our 3 pod documentary series on la skiing has paula stats may, 4th on d, w. the . the environmental education is not the child display, but sometimes we can approach climate issues in a ways that appeals to people of every age. that's really important as to look to the future. hello and welcome to a new edition of echo africa. i am present lines in legal side, syria, and i am sandra co homes that we know gil hosting from counselor right here in uganda. and this week we have another rounds of exciting reports about conservation
12:31 pm
and sustainability. here is what we have coming up. joining forces to fit god with lawn beginning making or the production more resilient seem to media and a from using photography to raise awareness in kenya, the gambia house, a fairly showed the coastline and communities beth faced, those rates of over fishing. now our recent reports by i'm the see international rebuild thought it is one of the 6 office in countries. lot together lose a place, $2100000000.00 euros every single year, due to a legal or on regulates of cc. others in time. local police mil factories of housing detrimental impact on the re ecosystems and the people who depend on them. we met some local up to this the close to total funding has a problem. every day. fishes unload almost the end to catch here to be taken by
12:32 pm
truck to a nearby factory where it's done insufficient mail. it's been like this for 6 years, and both people in nature, a suffering. the consequences here in southwestern cumbia, that's something environmental is more of a job, and it is for a little up to be so determined to change ever since the factory was built. they've been calling for a more sustainable use of the regents resources of the money and the economy or the economy. it's very important so i will survive. but he how's it going to be incentive? because i mean, really sunny. it depends on the piece of, of fishing by large troll as it's creating have all along the costs of west africa . 90 percent of these vessels are following on days among the countries affected for a few years. now, some of these troll as i've been delivering the cartridge to sudden anticipation of the fox tree. the fish meal is exported to china. it takes $4.00 k g o face to produce one k deal for each man in order to walk efficiently. the factory needs 500
12:33 pm
tons of fish every day, and only large folders can deliver such quantities. that leaves local fishermen with even less to catch. get out and see we can fish a lot in the sea because of the presence of the big boats from set a goal. but i'm posing significant challenges for us. we are going to attempt to the government to intervene that throughout the depleting the official position. and if the student perceives disagree, that would be no fish left and the going to be in the waters within the next $2.00 to $3.00. i just met there. the fisherman factory pays the local fishes. the equivalent of $60.00 is a credit, which is a decent level prize and guarantees them a dependable business. but it leaves little of up to so as food of the local market . oh, what is the problem? yeah. inside out, so is this been called on literacy? why been look at? because i'm leaving it after using these just to figure out what was,
12:34 pm
what if i read i b. now if it got that going to you and that'd be done. well, whatever of course, to be suspended, we'd be a part of it. well, with this i've been for this interview, but with the be, i've been called, does not sustainable estimated, affecting the people inside them. and that is not just that the chimneys have been pumping out smoke date in the out for the last 6 years. a quality has dropped and the smell is overpowering. the more popular to start the drill. if i survived most just turn to my missing from that can be cause severely pollutes the to the extent that the residents must retreat in those even just to enjoy a simple meal in order to escape the pollution discharged by the factory it to value. while i was off, i bought for the in the factory isn't just polluting, there it is pumping, it's what to with directly into the sea, and that's having an impact on the fish 100 to jump on these as a fish. and i've been protesting against the pollution since it 1st became apparent,
12:35 pm
be well rested. but at least the fact too was forced by the national environmental agency to body the overflow pipe under the sun. the environmental activism now trying to bring about change via dialogue, but need the diffusion community, the factory operators and the government officials. what prepared to talk to d. w about the fees moves like $3.00 and they provide a reliable income full of fishes. but it encourages them to over fees, will have a job, but he's trying to get them to use more sustainable methods to protect the actual fish and stops some fishes of list and, and the loan, the fissions, pony and groans and full young fish back into the water, i'm going to keep it as of our existence is from activity or before any activity be called at least your and i was feeling these. i know the individuals within the community so that we cannot that data as well as raising awareness the activities
12:36 pm
go to the beach once a month together with volunteers to collect plastic waste. they know that such efforts are just small steps, but the help to keep them going. we know trouble along the onsite to coast from the gunboat to northern virginia and from overfishing to any danger with loans. these precious ecosystems need to be properly boot up to. yes, sandra and not just because they're happy to, to so many spaces, but also because of the 5 tool to humans to with this is an occupational go to see how conservation efforts, helping to save nature, while also protecting the interests of local communities is of the label, well, good luck has the if you go run fast. this young title has made it. us have many of it. siblings you have on the trip style items. local eco gods have
12:37 pm
kept the egg safe from poach as an a. now shielding the baby turtles from the as they slip all the way across the beach, protecting the nesting areas. is it community efforts when i need the zip code but we have a eco gone so you can watch morning and evening for the from the village themselves . now, good just by the very presence, by educating their families before they're all weapons, aren't that either nobody touches anything of it. so if that's the 1st one is to show the local eco gods have been working with an armed conservation core link to can use environment ministry since 2013. that's when the true stone islands were granted the status of marine protected area. your arrangement was the combination of a 7 year process that combined the island of knowledge and experience with input from scientific and government bodies. one of the chief organizes explain the
12:38 pm
approach on the bottom of that, we set up a consultation framework when people are free to express themselves, often in the own lawsuit language to express what they wanted. we've then transformed the result of this consultation framework into a management plan. this is how the management committee, for example, came into being was it's local branches of it's, it'd be mine. but of my local is that you still islands are a mixture of mangroves mudflats, 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
12:39 pm
bio diversity hotspots. traditionally, rice palm is such as up to la cut check, would move to milford land every few years. and that meant cutting the monroe for it. once they became aware of the damage that caused, they decided to stay put you not to move. there was a mangrove restoration project. we realized it made no sense to plan mangroves in one place and just cut them down somewhere else. so we keep the fertile fields we have and don't go clearing elsewhere. and what would you be? the main guy of trees on trees style a viable for bio diversity. i'm a juicing coastal erosion at the local eco gone from the conservation. coal carry out making up patrols on this tool. the conservation co offices, small, the trees have been filed. a good idea about, hey, come you, why is this would been cut to the locals? maybe?
12:40 pm
well, some trees for that use, but only if the request is approved at a higher level. um, what the item hold on, i mean, the local eco got explains to the office. so why these cutting was agreed on i would do it on monday. the word was cut to make a road to the last village. we had nothing to make the road and there is a river in the middle of to 40 the how much. so we cut the wood to make us thanks for the bridge for that you'd be of us. and we didn't want to cut a new feet about a meeting of the people approve the decision making because we had no other means of putting other rules. how to, to enforce the nature reserve extends into the ocean on the joint patrols carry out unannounced checks on returning fishermen in case they've quote, any protected species under the watchful gaze. if the eco gods, the crew unload, sits,
12:41 pm
catch these rays or quickly endangered attendance discussion follows as the fishermen explained themselves on the conservation. coal officer lays out taking up a 5th official note. did we tell them to release them back into the sea? i'm going to need a mistake, you more. if they are already dead, we ask them why they called them and explain why they should go out and catch them another day on purpose. i'll pull it up, let us put it this time efficient and get away with a warning. eventually this community based conservation effort aims to win over everyone on the trip. so i let let's head to tanisha. now with the situation for the all leave foremost is getting tougher. it has been so drive that it has had a see the impact on the habits as drought could become an even bigger problem in the future. it's important to find ways to adopt
12:42 pm
a rose and lose his ground olive trees of associates. but over the past decades she needs, he has experienced severe drought. that's the less rain full on the to regular intervals. and that's the impact to thomas several years ago. he also began growing greek in spanish olive trees on his 250 heck to as these have high, a healed sending his experience and more resilient than the to to museum varieties . he's always cultivated about children. she was the old banish trees. june felt i've noticed improvements in oil production saunders i'm harvesting a higher quality oil than i did from the local sham, loudly tree demo. and 2nd rate. if the fruit can cope with drug, better, who's the? i have more all of the state green vein, the they don't try out so fast as they should as many other large scale problems here have also shifted to spanish olive varieties, but they have still being corrupt shortfalls. in the last 5 years to new z,
12:43 pm
a has suffered from extreme weather conditions. this fax region in the east of the country has traditionally have the country's highest olive oil production. but yields have dropped here to ralph and news says it's a struggle showing like when it makes it doing good, you cannot make way. it's a disaster. because in recent years, in the production, all it was in greece, portugal and spain, neural so affected by droughts. olive oil prices have exploded here to farm is in. and the loose c a in southern spain now have a harvest period of just 14 to 30 days. rather than the usual, $100.00, a sud foam is here already irrigate there, olive trees, but water supplies unlimited. i can know. yeah. well, there is no water. the area around the gladly the river, the most important waterway and andalusia is already being overused. there was no
12:44 pm
way of issuing new licenses for irrigation. all right, well she really valve about and what uh confessed you on that vehicle. it is also in short supply engineers here and the a small number of olive groves here irrigated in the dry season. rose, i lose has to water all his trees, but many foam is gone to full, the extra drinking more to. now that could be a solution, some foam is and tree mysteries using reclaimed wasteful. to irrigate that crops, they buy it from the closer to $116.00 p refines farmers pay around half of what they would for drinking more to researches at. the university of sax have investigated. the efficiency of irrigating with reclaimed wastewater, which is usually expensive to dispose of women living as a research in which has been published in international journals. it shows that this water can enrich the sway with organic matter, and so also boost production in organic what documentation wanted that could be a business, a promise many needs, high quality soil and move on to then they did
12:45 pm
a few years ago in order to increase that on the fields, thomas light roads, they lose have counted more trees pub floats, and these now compete for ever sketched the levels of food to organic pharmacy ferrying better. they've retained the space between the trees. organic on his gro, at nadia by case still enjoys good harvest, hug grove. so in the northeast of the country, in my new book, a region that's not quite as dry as phonics, she covers the soil around her trees with stool to keep moisture in and to use so many grows olive tree varieties the to native to the region widely claim yeah, the fall, we will always support different native varieties with all that julie harris and these varieties have been growing and thriving here for centuries, expecting that they've had time to adapt to the different conditions as this micro climate. and you call it one more. how strategy has paid off in 2022. now do you
12:46 pm
book a was awarded the prize. so the best female olive oil producer and to olive oil was named the best and she needs yeah. to, it's fed to save that. no one enjoys being in hospital, it's all from a stressful environment. we have day to look after and to recover from illness or injury, but we're likely to feel upset and anxious. and zach can slow down our return to house. so what can be done to increase patient? well being well, one hospital in nothing done is making the most of the ceiling. paula opened nature, that is a doing debate based week these doubts a positive and unconventional therapeutic program at the eco hospital in one no
12:47 pm
less than gone to the patient to get professional medical attention to. of course, that blood pressure is measured and the appointment is applied when necessary, but in the eco hospital that 70 half of the road to recovery is time fall and the chapel. eugene dominus, suffers from high blood pressure and need problems. but he's going out towards any way as positive his treatment accompanied by suman health care, where kids of course eugene is going to feed the non human stuff just like i was eating them. i was really happy and the way the way the c suite takes to live versus who does this your mind from the sickness for us on time. are these i am the god and of the ico hospital is environmentally friendly to no chemicals. a used
12:48 pm
organic cone left us and while cabbage are a healthy addition to hospital meals. eugene by moon of benefits from being in the surroundings and helping with the harvest. we do not mean that the environment will completely provide humid. but we are setting that that patients covered anything, environments like just watching yes, the see all expressing of happiness, engaging the job and all these 2 quotes to do to the new we thought was the gender of well being of the people who receive services. we did this environment, these have vishal also concepts, the nature tools that seem to be ending out on the patient's plate. all will be sold to help fund the ico hospital, the these cute rabbits on the other hand, just back to the feel good factor. and to the end of the, to it's time for refreshments. and what could be better than the most and melon
12:49 pm
think eugene them, you know, just picked himself many people don't realize that the trade in exotic animals settings, the biodiversity and the places where those animals come from. but one man from december committee team can yeah, it's challenging. poaching and other threats to wide life exactly trees is and live still on this, but has a ton in full photography. and he wants to use his pictures to raise awareness on to twilight. the u. t. o piece native region is all equal, he will be sweet. a loose lift. so it is a man of many talents. he knows exactly what he's doing. and the 30 year old
12:50 pm
can me and 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, about 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 in 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 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.
12:51 pm
what are the visions, most of the like, elephant as well as did alpha? and as i 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 the story you need to of a frontal. 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 fountain red black let's. it's 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 there is no rains in this area we, we face a very diverse did think i dropped on the on the i was i bank so in and i the above . that'd be 4 dice then below. but in the past where like, another subject is that locals have often killed liquids because they select live stuff, which is the livelihood of many people. here, ambrose is building,
12:52 pm
understanding that 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 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 la 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
12:53 pm
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 change it. so far it flows and brings us money. people come to see that i know and that generates revenue your best. so it helped improve people standard of living it a guinea named bruce of simple if it was done this, ambers, 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 land 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 the boat this particular, but on the line that they won't even know some names is pictures of some plants
12:54 pm
that do funding this particular area and they know the use. so that is somebody that makes me happy. the local defence population remains a concern. in 2019400 of them were counted in the nearby loose sab conservancy, ambrose let's told why hopes that he's what can help ensure a city future for them. a wildlife activist with a new perspective on conservation ways providing a solution to the younger generation. i am some drug of homes that we nobody else funding go from complex right here in uganda and i am chris islands in idea area. thanks for joining us at the check out eco offered the online full in like the stories and feel free to share any ideas you have. see all again, next week the
