nobody else writes yet in comp. hello. you've done that. yep. yep. how rooms are transforming west being too well. saving medicine of lawns on stopping of ocean in burundi. race to scale up solar pallet in ivory coast. but we start right here in uganda. when lunch lights are becoming increasingly coleman. now changing renfield cotton's on deforestation are the root of the problem as in many parts of the walls. so what can be done to secure the hills and the mountain sides? well, it sounds unlikely, but one answer is be keeping the lamps, light is still fresh. so is these families are on the slope of simply being gone? for the last 2 weeks, fortunately,

no one will change it. see the lunch labels an alarm signal, but for the 1st time you're on eastern new gunners mount alagood. this really remains us of the jersey to protect our environment. restore the degraded landscapes back to most important to empower families to ensure that the agriculture they are practicing is sustainable to reduce the claimant related news us does. but also once a beauty to the library couldn't lock on 5 must have got down trees on mount and going to make fools of fields a quarter of the forest and the things to will kind of slow past be lost over the years. even though a large part of the area is actually a niche area, so the consequences at our ocean and damage to the ecosystem. the n g o b's entries once to reverse the trend phone does. stephen bright software has brought siblings of the native trees. free of charge enjoys mainly for the month to buy

donations, behaves though so given the weight a reason to be happy because everyone benefits the people and the environment. what we are doing is to motivate from others during the grid trees in the funds. and how are we being these with fundraise, give them more then behaves as well as trees, which advertise forage for the bees. now the bees are on you sent to you for the farm eyes to planted trees because they know for the beast to make honey. they need next time as well as pulling from the flowers as they had by the trees. but this autumn was the best day i could have to do. you kind of do it. if any of you will have it to a capital game directly, the new trees we'd help to an additional income suck. what wants to convey these to the villages? a change in mentality compared to the mindset that led to the environmental crisis

. the consequences offline slights can be seen everywhere in future. the new 3 should help to better hold the us in place when we planned to lose please the error of binding sales to data with plants, the trees, and we don't just blanch them. we can quote them with money to them. we track them, we map each and every tree, that's a plant land slides. often during heavy rains, the deadliest incident was in 2010. then i met the slide claimed the lives of more than 300 people. many people lost their homes and fields box and, and some of those to affect the cost team waiting for all those was because they bring it down. that one was the, the nonce i've gotten if they can keep us on the, or finance or full housing, be better credit for it will do it. they to me that the press could be precisely on

mount. i'm going to contains a lot of play and they have for themselves a lot of water together with the deforestation the some fatal combination. so 2 things come to play the natural, but i mean, it does or they, they support the nature of the slopes, but also the pressure that come from the communities themselves. now everything is supposed to get better with the yes, but for us we buy it from from us at $25.00. our then. so that means them. and i that incentive and, and what division? we need to change the main to said we have to support to be is the local communities to appreciate the only environment for us and then give them the the innovations that really they kinda appreciate and take what that's going to be on the innovation period. they consist in them into the future. more than 5000 trees have been refers to on mount and going into the past 2 years. that's not much

compared to what was lost, but at least it does that. and now from uganda it's easier for our next story and from these to ones they to might be small bonds, but in point is really should not be on the estimates it absolutely. sandra. they are incredibly useful coworkers. according to charles darwin, the 8th, many of the miles that have played such an important part in the history of the wells, and the us is teeming with them. so what all the super powers this site to for really good ones might be on please some to some. but we'll need to be sure that things. it's beautiful and she's a farmer in the village of a room, a need for us. the demo region, the warm she keeps out on us that to ha and they have the months of modest, she fits them for this krupps leaves central gun request,

which the intentions formed into viney compost. this form put that to me, to be sure to have his from her unusual pets. he's an excellent and environmentally friendly, fucked. eliza, which she uses on her own crops its own here, but no letting me compress the book. i used vehicles for these masefield today. even though there is not a lot of rain at the moment, it is going well not going to, if i had to use chemical fertilizers out of needed to spend up to $25000.00 building, which would be more than $400.00 euro. i missed this just about have missed the senior, but i know that's a lot of money but to buy making and using the composts for my rooms. but i can make a profit and provide enough food for my family, research and 11, because i didn't come with a husband. and she's not the only one coupon in the village. a minute or

gunning. going to click on ports in on when the rainy season starts. i use my own gunning fertilizer. in fact, i don't think that i would need any false chris, or you ran for the lives of from ugly cultural office to all the see a not been in the, in the legs in law allows allison, divine me, complex projects in the room. i started in 2016 with just 4 participants, including us. if i'm able and i'll meet to be sure to know the local, not good cultural office has trained over a 100 from us to produce vom you compost. but it took a long time for people to accept one keepers and realize the value of these free p crawl is. but the buddy, oh, let me get some people take away from me just because i keep homes on my home phone . in there too, but you haven't brought it also asked the so it'd be touching the ones with my hands. and so some of them even told my husband looked to the, to my food anymore. but my husband supported me the whole time,

but uh the mouse is up. oh, angel. basically, yes, i had a gradually people started to realize the benefit of these creatures around 60, for most of the students asked me for one supposed to have. and i have supplied them all. austin saw i instruct, holding the goodness of those for plus to know my left and the one what keeps spreading. another cultural office up from the neighboring model got district has now come to a room to learn more about the ecological project. what go by doing that goes to the owner. they're gonna and we are very keen to extend this initiative to our village tumor as it is very cheap on simple solution. the problem is i say they want to make their own complement instead of having to buy can be called for to lies. and then that's not just spending this, i'm not sure that's other than said what is the restaurant is that the ones on the valuable product are getting more and more funds in the region. meanwhile, us,

if i'm able and other local one, pioneers are adding a study income from studying the organic spots. eliza and one spoke akila grumbled pond costs, the equivalent of 8 zeros. well, 100 kilograms. so finally, compost. these 25 euros. the funds are benefiting from the training they've received and no less dependent on chemicals. such a license which can be very expensive on the home phone to the environment, a certain portion or so. oh, protects the files in fairly complex for samantha. it's asking you any for do you think they did do easily my digit but become fuzzy. so i would even bottom of this for the federal and it's fully kukes due to its success. so the local level, the project was not be extended to the entire sci delma region. so the next time you attempted to recoil from these little creatures,

don't think of them us funding. think of funding compost as much as 80 percent of people yourself. so however, in africa rely on have a med seen as a primary form of health care on this for full takes us to burn the. we have for additional hillis bloom, used herbs and plants to treat diseases. yes. the 1st station on the last and by the diversity is put the nature of the medicine chest up, the risk one woman's efforts to protect dates all the focus of this week's doing your bits of fruits of the on. now tow bush it's seed extracts are sent to alleviate infections, environmental activist and entrepreneur gina kyra kenyana wants to bring the indigenous medicinal plants back to the people of barone, dean, and at the same time, bring the destroyed woodlands back to life. like in the handling the forest in blue

aroma region, the inhabitants need firewood or one to plant fields. but without trees, the slopes collapse which can cost human lives and for tile swell women farmers in the region $1.00 to learn how to improve things. jeanette car can yonah recommends reforest thing with all the trees, for example, whose fruits bring an extra income. but apart from seedlings, she has some words of warning. or what i get done will give you the many of you are cutting down the trees and you're destroying the environment. this is something you must absolutely give out. at the tree nursery, women farmers learn how to raise the free seedlings, the farmer, maria, and duly mona. takes home jo, trophy end artemisia's siblings and plants them next to one of her fields. the

active ingredient artemis, that can be used to treat malaria, the senior. chad, well, we can already see the effects of this activities where this trees are planted. erosion is no longer as mad, and the soil is no longer being washed away. hol, corvalle to be. the bitterly shrunk or very early on. mcdonny not can also be use medicinally jeanette hire. can yonah has the leaves processed into a powder and a small factory which is later dissolved in water to help with menstrual cramps? the herbal and fusion is sold together with other therapeutic natural products and one of her company stores. she says, part of the proceeds to finance reforestation project so that if it saves a ton, i have hope that replanting these last 3 years. so lead to seeing them and households in the future a quarter degree and provide sustainable solutions to protect the environment and equipment we've made quite well not if you keep that

this sold on european country, all spain is suffering from more frequent droughts, like many places on us by 2025, around 1800000 people are likely to suffer from absolute will to us goes to see according to the us food and agriculture organization. and spain has really seen some unusually high tip, which is b. c, it with extreme weather events on the rise, lakes and rivers are disappearing. wells of running dry, adopting is expensive, but crucial of the water that's good enough to drink. and that's what work is here at the tobacco, the some of the nation plant in northeastern spain, a testing center. the region is increasingly looking to removing salt from ocean water as the solution, so that will to problems levels of acidity, conductivity,

cooler, and content. everything is tested here in the fonts laboratory and it has to be just so because if not they've been that about or depending on which bad you, it is. you know, that part of the process isn't working properly. you act on that incorrect value out of the, on the, in other words, the laboratory. people communicate with the upper right to them and then the upper right to internal x on the process and they're brought up there. so it's a painstaking process, but essential move in house of ocean to process that the plant becomes the salty brain pumped bus couch into the sea. the rest of the types to the surrounding communities. that's part of the code come all garcia's job. he is worked at the plant since it was built in 2002, since then it's doubled as capacity as the phone as well. so now this is a really to raise the area and as well as being a terrific area, it's a very, it's a couch with so. okay, so much then for the river, that is quite

a bit of chemical industry that needs small to do see i can make, i can see that i was the regional government plants to triple the plants current sized by the end of the decades to come back on going throat, but the still a nation is expensive and there are other problems. so it's a good thing to consider lunch is to obtain the same amount of water or more of them, but with less energy consumption. so by improving efficiency, that's what i've done on. well, they're not the most modern plans have already made changes to increase efficiency, but it is quite complicated. they don't face bought them. the company go to the neighboring to odessa. refund is dried out as far as the i can see almost full years of less the now for train soul is devastating. the region of catalonia reservoir levels of dropped from more than 90 percent in april 2020, to less than 20 extension. 20. 24 was just taping restrictions on, residents have gradually been ramped up. this will lead to the fact that makes us

more aware that the impacts of climate change of the climate crisis is most severe in the mediterranean region. then in other parts of the world and the most of it, i can know that as part of this and the young lady that i knew, i seemed to have always been episodes of drought in the mediterranean. increased the g ration of the now the drastic rise and the temperatures rustic would of these conditions are unprecedented. 20 sam, this is wanting president. the it's early in the season then you'll get them. uh, but hotel. yeah. use a bracing themselves for an impact. around 19000000 people visited catalonia in 2023 and taurus lodge consumers of water using up to twice as much as residents by some estimates. the some hotel also as a potential solution to save water. when it was renovated around 25 years ago, the hotel installed separate pipe, gray water, water used impasto, shy was,

for example, is pipe box we use in the toilets. it's thus treated in the basements. the hotel claims to have saved around $15000000.00 leases of water and made substantial economic savings. and so basically ok, so okay. i think it's something where the hotels to, to already finished. i need to take advantage of a renovation situation here. um that it should be mandatory for all new hotels to be built with this system installed audio, the scenario is the at the nearby katelyn institute of lots of research scientists are investigating the impact of counseling news, dr. a how river eco systems, for example, cope with, let's remove to the black community that i see said the organism community with extensive quite well. that is because it is a community that is about adapted to the conditions of the mediterranean climate.

le, instead of feeling good if the interruption lost a long time, then that could be serious impact class, like those import time. in the same institute to young luigi booty, larry is working with water from the hotel, some book on new solutions. filtering the hotels gray water 3 ponds and swell to clean it. a system that's already been tested the, but it's now being tried with edible plants like this mint. research has estimate costs for such a solution could be recuperated in 5 to 6 years. as something like a most, they want to find out if it is safe to use the plans for human consumption. we don't get know that it would be to have to investigate it further or not. it's a research topic for the future, but it would be really good to be able to principal to be able to reuse it. and at the same time, so do use plans for human consumption and other uses the data, but it was still modeled on the order, but i would also associate kept the selling nation plan. what goes on with climate

change making conditions of drug work? solutions like those being used in this region are helping now as a how much longer bought to africa. now it's one next story in ivory coast, the government, their house on beach has targets for increasing its share of renewable energy use. in april, the government announced plans to build another new solar plant in the north of the country. no sooner paula especially can be a source of clean, low cost electricity that is suitable even for very remote locations of this taps 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. so while i apollo possibly 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,

the little southward is tell jenny c for click on the water has to be pumped from under ground, but the area is off the electricity grid. instead. solar energy provides the power for the pump. would it be if it can fill out in the beginning, there was only one unit test, so because there was only one house to supply this one play, then came the girl center of monday and after that, the settlement expanded. okay, with 3 new buildings, we partner with that 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 good 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, no sweat on one would just have to. 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, you lose out. and that reduces the added value of solar investments, velocity and this is a month, oh my goodness. 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 2030 in the north of the country. the, the solar farm is the 1st of more than a dozen projects aimed at reaching the target. the 78 heck to 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 a 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 sector partners, but the bungee any power plant is the 1st to be built by the state. building 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, 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. 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, from what we need to raise awareness more generally to tell women that it's possible to do this g funk cuz it simply seemed 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 is another great project, but he's talking several issues at was that's it from us based week i am essential to homes that we never do from right to in complex uganda, it is a good bye for now, and i am chris l. as in lagos, nigeria face to join us. don't forget to head to equal offer, go online for boys, byron stories. and if there's anything you want to share with us, drop us a line that's eco dw dot com. thank you for joining us as see you again. next week, the the
