the of the slide spread races, depression today. these 3, the people that we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. the if we humans work with rather than it gives nature, we can help us selves our environment and our fellow creatures. welcome to eco africa. i'm christa lives, illegals, nigeria. well, every living creature has a role to play in each ecosystem. and sometimes they can do even more than we actually realize on the switch show will be looking at the many sizes that nature provides. i am sandra co homes that we nobody else right yet in complex. uganda

is yep, yep. how rooms are transforming west to being to well saving maybe single plants on stopping of role should in burundi. raise 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 pots and on deforestation are at the root of the problem as in many parts of the wallet. so what can be done to secure the hills and the mountain sides? well, it's all unlikely, but one answer is, be keeping the news. the lamp light is still fresh. so if these families are the slope of simply being gone for the last 2 weeks, fortunately, no one will change it. see the lunch labels an alarm signal,

not for the 1st time here on eastern new guns as mount outgoing is freely remains as of the jersey to protect our environment, restore the degraded landscapes. but the most important duty and power pharma is to ensure that the agriculture they are practicing is sustainable to reduce the claimant related news us does. but also once a beauty to their labor, they couldn't lock on file, must have got down trees on mount and going to make fools of fields a quarter of the forest on 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 and russian and damage to the ecosystem. the n g o b's entries wants to reverse the trend. phone to steven bright software has brought seedlings of the native trees free of charge. the enjoys mainly financed by donations behavior 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 as 3 intern griffith trees in the funds. and how are we being these with fundraise? give them more then behaves as well as threes, which as for aids for the bees. now the bees are and 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. at this autumn was the best day i could do to do your kind and do it. if any of you will have it talk to him directly, the new trees, we'd help to an additional income suck for once. 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 the future. the new 3 should help to better hold the us in place when we planned to lose please the error of binding sales together with planted trees. and we don't just blanch them. we can quote them with money to them, we track them with 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 they bring it down. that one was the, the nonce off of one if they can keep us on the, or finance, or full housing, be better equipped for it will do it. they told me that the press to be put solely on mont. i'm going to contains a lot of play and therefore i'm such

a lot of water together with the deforestation. this is a fatal combination. us. so does things come to play the natural bottom? it does or the this accord uh, the nature of this. whoops. but also the pressure that come from the communities themselves. now everything is supposed to get better with the help of these around 60 households in the village of key and the surrounding region upset and be keeping the being trained by these entries and supported with the equipment free of charge . what an adventure putting on a protective suit for the 1st time, all coming, the busy, the spatial smoke in the middle of the forest, the bees come on, gets mixed. so they hadn't been nick pat, which they will and start forming behind me. so those things, the trees and they've been go hand in hand, we've built that tree. you're going to have a b that we need to protect the forest is growing. to the extent that families can

make a better. leaving from the keeping. stephen bride suck west and you also have them with marketing. we buy that honey from them and value and sell to find out if i show him as the market price for how many times finally gets is $18000.00 shootings. boom. done that shillings? yes. but for us, we buy it from, from us at $25.00, our then so that needs them. and i that incentive and then what division. we need to change the main to said we have to support to be as local communities to appreciate the only environment for us and then give them the the innovations that really they kind of appreciate and take what that is going to be your and the innovation period they consist in built into the future. more than 5000 trees have been refers to on most of going in the past 2 years. that's not much compared to

what was lost, but at least it does that. and now from uganda to e. c o p a full on next story and from these to ones they 2 might be small bonds. the implant 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 reading the ones might be on please some to some. but i will 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 crops, leaves central gun request,

which the intentions formed into viney compost. this form put that to me, to be sure to have this one unusual pets. he's an excellent and environmentally friendly, fucked. eliza, which she uses on her own crops. on your book, on the uh bottom, you compress the book. i used very cool books for these masefield, even though there is not a lot of free and at the moment it is going well, i'm not going to. if i had used chemical fertilizer out of needed to spend up to $25000.00 bill, which would be more than $400.00 euro, i missed this just but have missed this numerous other. 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 funding, research and 11. because i let me come with a husband. and she's not the only one coupon in the village. it's a minute organic that'd be composing on when the rainy season starts. i use my own

gunning fertilizer. in fact, i don't think that i would need any faults. chris, are you ready for the lives of for margaret cultural office? to all the see a pin in the, in the legs in law allows allison the vomit compost project to know room us started in 2016. we've just 4 participants including us. if i'm able and we'll meet to be sure to know the local, not going to catch a little office as trained over a 100 from us to produce of on the compost. but he took a long time for people to accept one keepers and realize the value of these creepy crawlers. but the buddy, oh, let me get some people take away from me just because i keep homes on my home phone . is there too, but you haven't brought it also. i put a lot. yeah. this will be touching the ones with my hands. and so some of them even told my husband looked tweet to my food anymore. but my husband supported me the

whole time. elapses up. oh, angel basically, yes, i have gradually, people started to realize the benefit of these creatures around 60, for most of students, asked me for ones phones and i have supplied them all to insight on some stuff on this. yeah. and it's of those for fun to, you know, i left and the one what keeps spreading. not we got your law office up from the neighboring mug. got district has now come to a room to learn more about the ecological project. and what go by doing that goes to the owner and 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 farmers are saying they want to make their own compost instead of having to buy can be called satellites, and then you're 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 a maple and other local one, pioneers are adding

a study income from studying the organic spots eliza. and once found a kiddo grumble's pond costs the equivalent of 8 zeros. well, 100 kilogram. so finally, compost, these 25 euros the funds are benefiting from the training they've received and no less dependent on can be called for the license which can be very expensive and comfortable to the environment side coordination or so. oh, prospects with appraising really because for samantha that's nice. any for leasing crazy to easily manage 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 now be extended to the entire c demo 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 you saw. so holler and offer to rely on haven't met seen as the primary form of health care on this for full takes us to burn the we have traditional healers bloom, used herbs and plans to treat diseases. yet the 1st station on the loss in by a diversity is put the nature of the medicine chest up, the risk one woman's efforts to protect. it's all the focus of this week's doing your bits the fruits of the on. now tow bush it's seed extracts are sent to alleviate infections. environmental activist and entrepreneur jeanette 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 want to plant fields. but without trees, the slopes collapse which can cost human lives. and for tile swell women farmers in the region one to learn how to improve things. genetic kyra kenyana recommends re for a staying with other trees, for example, whose fruits spring 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 seedlings, and plants them next to one of her fields. the active ingredients, artemis, that can be used to treat malaria,

the temperature. 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 bitter leaf shrunk. or if you know new mcdonny not can also be use medicinally. jeanette kyra kenyana 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 will lead to seeing them in house phones in the future, a quarter to 8 and provide sustainable solutions to protect the environment. because we will record will not keep that

this sold on european country or spain is suffering from more frequent droughts, like many places on us by 2025, around 1800000 people are likely to suffer from absolute wants. us goes to see, according to the us food and agriculture organization. and spain has really seen some unusually high temperatures, 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. that's what work is here at the tobacco. the southern nation plant in northeastern spain, a testing for the region, is increasingly looking to removing salt from ocean to pass the solution. so that will to problems levels of acidity, conductivity, cooler and content. everything is tested here in the bronx laboratory and it has to

be just so because if not the bottle depending on which value it is, you know that part of the process isn't working properly. you act on that incorrect value out of my phone, the. in other words, the laboratory people communicate with the operator 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 motion to process that the plant becomes a faulty brain pumped bus couch into the sea. the rest of the types to the surrounding communities. that's part of the co come all garcia's job. he has worked at the plant since it was built in 2002. since then it's doubled as capacity. is 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 coach with some focus a lot. then for the river, there's quite a bit of chemical industry that needs ball totally lose the game. we got going to

see that i was the regional government plants to triple the plants current sized by the end of the decades to combat ongoing droughts. but the still a nation is expensive and there are other problems. saturday though is a good thing to consider selling is to obtain the same amount of water or more, but with less energy consumption. so by improving efficiency, that's what i've done on. well, they're not the most what our plans have already made changes to increase efficiency, but it is quite complicated. they don't, is based on their 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 full 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 directly been ramped up. this will lead to the facts 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 must have it, i can know that i spot those and the young lady that i know i see him have always been episodes of drought in the mediterranean, into the generation of the now the drastic rise and the temperatures, rustic would of these conditions are unprecedented. totally fine. this is wanting precedent, but it's early in the season than you'll get them. uh, but hotel yeah. use a bracing themselves for an impact around to 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 in fossil showers,

for example, is piped box we use in the toilets. it's both treated in the basement. the hotel claims to have saved around 15000000 liters of water and made substantial economic savings. and so basically ok, so okay. i think it's something where hotels to, to already finished, i need to take advantage of a renovation situation here. that it should be mandatory for all new hotels to be built with this system installed audio, the scenario is at the nearby katelyn institute of lots of research scientists are investigating the impact of counseling news, dr. or how river eco systems, for example, cope with little will to black community that but 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 that if the interruption last a long time,

then that could be serious impact class, practicing for the time. in the same institute to young luigi booty, larry is working with water from the hotel, some of the on new solutions. filtering the hotels gray water, 3 plants and soil to clean it. a system that's already been tested the but it's now being tried with edible plants like this mint researches estimate costs such as 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 print. so going to be able to reuse it. and it's the same time. so do use plans for human consumption and other uses the data, but it was still not on the order, but i would also associate kept the selling nation plan. what goes on with climate change making conditions of dry water solutions like those being used in this

region are helping now the 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. now, so an apology especially can be a source of clean, low cost electricity that is suitable even for very remote locations. so 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. okay. mariah by little by see there's no water in our village because there's no, well, yeah, that's why we come here to get the water. i mean, the low self will just tell jenny c 4 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. so it'd 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, sweetheart and 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 panel 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 whole 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 these when you weren't able to consume all the solar energy you produce. and you can't diverted to the grid to lose out. and that reduces the added value of solar investments, velocity and then 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. all the solar farm is the 1st of more than a dozen project 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 germany'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 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 in a certain dump. i mean, out of 15 engineers,

i was the only one on hey, that's already a problem, right? then it's almost like we need to raise awareness more generally to tell women that it's possible to do this. do for fun because it was simple, seem to fit 0 for 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. another great project, but he's talking several issues at was that's it from us based week i am central to homes that we know video 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 up, eco dw dot com. thank you for joining us as see you again. next week, the the
