5:30 am
is the, the vom pavek said was a massive, well that seems weird place you don't m f, c, c o, c o c s 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 balance of exciting reports about
5:31 am
conservation and sustainability. here is what we have coming up. joining forces to fit god with loans being gaining, making all the production more resilient seem to media. and a, from using photography to raise awareness thinking in the gum via house a fairly showed the coastline and communities, beth faced, those rates of over fishing. now our recent report, but i'm this, the international rebuild thought it is one of the 6 office in countries. lot together lose a place. 2.1000000000 euros every single year, due to a legal, or on regulates of fishing, other than time local police will factories of having a detrimental impact on marine ecosystems. and the people who depend on them. we may have some local up to this because to total funding has a problem every day,
5:32 am
fishes unload almost the end to catch here to be taken by 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 active. you start 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 into 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 face of a fishing by large troll as he's creating have all along the costs of west africa, 90 percent of these vessels of 40 on days among the countries affected for a few years. now, some of these troll as i've been delivering the cartridge to sundance, we should move fox free. 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
5:33 am
needs 500 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 pollution. and if the student perceives that we'd be no fish left in the gum in waters within the next $2.00 to $3.00, i just met there. the fisherman factory pays the local fishes the equivalent of 6 years, a credit, which is a decent local prize and guarantees them a dependable business. but it leaves literally over to so as food of the local market. oh, really is a problem. yeah. inside out. so it is this been called on the market because i'm leaving it after using his best to figure out what was,
5:34 am
what if i'd be i'd be not the guy that going to you and that'd be done. well, what is the cost to the system that will be a part of it? well, with this i've been producing the fee, but with the that'd be, i've been called because not sustainable. if the media affecting the people inside them and but it's not just that the chimney's of been pumping out smoke date in the out for the last 6 years. a quality has dropped and the smell is overpowering. the more expensive and the vendor will investigate. know she has to turn to a missing from the chemicals, severely pollutes the, to the extent that 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. why that? because i've, i've bought for the, in the factory isn't just polluting there it is pumping it's water with directly into the sea and that's having an impact on the fish. how to jump on these as a fish. and i've been protesting against the pollution since it 1st became
5:35 am
a part of be well rested. but at least the thought to was forced by the national environment agency to body the overflow pipe under the sun, the environmental activities. i'm now trying to bring about change by a dialogue box nape of the fusion community, the factory author rich as and the government officials swap prepared to talk to dw about the fees from his factory may provide a reliable income for fishes, but it encourages them to all the fees will have a job, but he's trying to get them to use most of the cannibal metals, to protect the actual fish and stops some fishes of list. and in the long da fissions pony groans and throw young fish back into the water. among the keep it as of our existence is from activity or before any activity of you called at least the order. and that was really nice. i know the individuals within the community so that we cannot the data as well as raising awareness the up to be go to the beach
5:36 am
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 now trouble along the onsite to coast from the gunboat to northern virginia and from over fishing to any danger with lots these precious ecosystems need to be properly duty officer. yes, sandra and not just because they're happy to, to so many spaces, but also becomes the 5 tool to humans to visit with an occupational go to see how conservation efforts helping to save nature while also protecting the interest of local community is of the local good luck has a few go run fast. this young turtle has made it. us have many of its siblings. you have on the trip style items. local eco gods have kept
5:37 am
the egg safe from poach as a no shielding the baby turtles from the as they slip all the way across the beach . protecting the nesting area. it is a community efforts when i need the zip code, but 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. 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 the news 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
5:38 am
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 results of this consultation framework into a management plan. this is how the management committee, for example, came into being that was its local branches of its it'd be mine, but i'm a 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
5:39 am
bio diversity hotspots. traditionally rise farm is such as up to le caught check, would move to more federal 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 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 then don't go clearing elsewhere and what would he 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 a patrols on this tool. the conservation co office, a small, the trees have been filed. a good idea about, hey, come you, why his this would been cut, took all the locals made well,
5:40 am
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 lower than that i said we had nothing to make the road and there's 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 it goofy. good. how about the 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 cheques on returning fishermen in case they've quotes any protected species under the watchful gaze of the eco gods. the crew unloads its touch.
5:41 am
these rays are critically endangered. a tense discussion followed as the fisherman explained themselves on the conservation cool officer lays out the new 65th official note. did we tell them to release them back into the sea, continued mystic, you more. if they are already dead, we ask them why they caught them and explain why they should go out and catch them another day on purpose. us put it this time efficient men 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 dry that it has had a see the impact on the harvest as draws could become an even bigger problem in the future. it's important to find ways to adopt the road. se news has grown olive
5:42 am
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 growling 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 with 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 gamble. and 2nd reading the fruit can cope with drought 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,
5:43 am
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 to ya to ralph and new 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 and the production costs have increased 5 fold and 6 fold. and then 7 folds of eskoville and if it were only the cost of gas and diesel for the tractors, everything here runs on diesel. the price is, would have doubled the old labor costs of also risen dramatically because the drought means the more and more people are leaving the region and looking for work in the city is all on keeping that company. you still, felicia, should you too bye bye. all the yields and higher costs. no, certainly a problems of foam is. oil produces a rule so feeding the impact of the specs regions. $348.00 oil mills and the 70
5:44 am
a currently up and running because there is simply nothing of our lives to process the production inspections have. this is mainly due to the drought and the lack of rain. that's why the price of olive oil has gone up so much and the quality is effected 2, yellows or dryer. they have to the water content that makes the more a city all it was in greece, portugal and spain, neural so affected by droughts. olive oil prices have exploded here to farmers and, and the lucy in southern spain now have a harvest period of just $14.00 to $30.00 days, rather than the usual $100.00 a subs from is here already irrigate there, all of trees, but war to supplies. unlimited can know. yeah, well, there is no water. the area around the gladly the river, the, the most important waterway and lose you is already being over used. there was no
5:45 am
way of issue a new licenses for irrigation. and i bought a really valve about in love. i confess you all know that we have a 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 farm 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 low, closer to $116.00 p refines thomas 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, or research in which has been published in international journals. it shows that this water can enrich this way with organic matter. and so also boost production in organic. what documentation wanted, that could be a business, a promise many needs,
5:46 am
high quality soil and move on to then they did a few years ago. in order to increase that on the fields, thomas light rows, 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 always grow at nadia by case still enjoys good harvests, hug grove. so in the northeast of the country, in my new book, a region that's not quite as dry as smocks. 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 way. plenty. yeah. the fall. we will always support different native varieties with all that julie harris uses, and these varieties have been growing and thriving here for centuries, expecting that they've had time to adapt to the different conditions of this micro climate. and you call it one more how strategy has paid off in 2022. now do you
5:47 am
book a was awarded the prize for the best female olive oil producer and to olive oil was named the best and she needs. yeah. so it's fair to say 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 north i'm gonna 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 northwest
5:48 am
and gone on. the patients here 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's any half of the road to recovery. is time fall in egypt. so eugene dominus, suffers from high blood pressure and need problems, but he's going out towards any way as positive his treatment accompanied by assuming health care where kids of course eugene is going to feed the non human stuff just like i was feeding them. i was really happy, i'm do it the way the c suite takes to live that visit the visit oil, my friend to sickness for us on time, a nice i am the god and of the ico hospital is environmentally friendly to no
5:49 am
chemicals. a used 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 believe that the environment will completely provide handed. but we are setting that that patients covered anything environments like just watching. yes, the see all expressing of happiness, engaging mitchell and all these 2 quotes to do to the new we pause the gender. i will be of the people who receive services. we did this environment, these have visual also concepts, the nature tools bell seeing the ending now on the patient's plate. all will be sold to help fund the 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
5:50 am
refreshments. and what could be better than the most and melon 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. yeah, it's challenging poaching and other threats to wide life exactly trees. he is a live still on this, but how autonomy to photography and he wants to use his pictures to raise awareness on twilight. the u. t. o. p is negative reaching is equal. he will be sweet or lose lit, so it is a man of many talents. he knows exactly what he's goods and the 30 year old
5:51 am
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 our lives with the gravitas about, about the ocean. so i said, well, he just wanted to take a pee off for the a month. so like i able to identify that this is the naval go conservancy and central can. yes. i'm listening to live works here off to studying wildlife management and conservation of color by taking photos of the many animals that live here. ambrose hopes we can raise awareness of spc that are vulnerable for reason it's dangerous. many locals have seen his pictures and he often visits schools to talk to young people about the environment.
5:52 am
what are the visions most of the like, elephant us, we left it out on the wonder if that thread 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 often it was put trees animals such as the african left. but that at risk from poaching and lots of habits. it or 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 and just said yeah we, we face a very diverse did think i dropped on the on the i was i bank. so in the not be above. that'd be for the then the low. 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,
5:53 am
ambrose is building understanding that community level. these women used to cedar rapids as enemies. now they work to protect them as leopards, a truck to wherever is. 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 know even bill to be a room sent 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
5:54 am
still quote you now or for, for some long island. 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. 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 standard of living. it gives me an example of simple as a standard and poors. 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 had sent day. so you just send 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 that do funding this particular area and they know the use. so that is somebody
5:55 am
that make me happy, the local listen to population remains a concern. in 2019400 of them were counted in the nearby loose conservancy. i'm ruthless so do i hopes that he's what can help ensure a safe future for them? a wildlife octave is with a new perspective on costs of ation ways, providing a solution to the younger generation. i am a son, drug of homes that we nobody else funding go for from complex right here in uganda . and i am chris at lancing idea. thanks for joining us at the take 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
