a and away from its own borders. how long can originally maintain its grip on both in the region and domestically? as long as the country is left by religious hardliners, things are unlikely to change. the if we humans work with rather than it gives nature, we can help us valves, our environment, and our fellow creatures. welcome to eco africa. i'm chris 11th, 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, we'll be looking at the many sizes that nature provides. i am sandra co homes that

nobody else writes yet in comp. hello. you've done that. yep. yep. how rooms are transforming west being too well? saving medicine of loans on stopping of bullshit in burundi. the race to scale up solar power in ivory coast. but we start right here in uganda. when lunch lights are becoming increasingly coleman. no change in 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 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, not for the 1st time here on eastern new gunners. mount outgoing is freely remains as of the identity to protect our environment, restore the degraded landscapes, but most importantly, empower families to ensure that the agriculture they have practicing these sustainable to reduce the claimant related news that says, my proposal once a beauty to the library. when lochlund 5 must have got known treason, mont, and going to make fools of fields, a quarter of the forest on the extinct will kind of slow past be lost over the years. even though a large part of the area is actually a nature. we saw 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 suck. what has brought seedlings of 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 as 3 intern griffith trees in the funds. and how are we being these with fundraise? give them more then behaves as well as trees, which advertise for age for the bees. and 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. at this autumn was that the best day i could have to do. you've gotten into it. if any of you will have it draw a capital jim directly, the new trees we'd have to an additional income suck. well wants to convey these to the villages. a change in mentality compared to the mindset,

but lead to the environmental crisis. the consequences offline, sleggs can be seen everywhere in future. the new tree should help to better hold the us in place. the when we plan to lose, please the plate arrow on binding soils together with planting trees and we don't just plants them. we can quote them with money to them. we tried to them, we'd map each and every pre. that's a plant. lance lights 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 costing waiting for all those was because they bring it down. that one. what's the, the nonce i've gotten if they can keep assignment or finance, or full housing, it'll be very clear to for, it will do it. they given me another place 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, but i mean, it does or they, they support uh, the nature of this loops. 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 d and the surrounding region upset and be keeping the being trained by these countries been supported with the equipment free of charge. what an adventure putting on a protective suit for the 1st time, all coming the be the spatial smoke in the middle of the forest, the bees come on gets mixed so they can make path, which they will and start forming the honey. so those things, the trees and it'd be school hand in hand. we built that tree. you can't 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've made a honey from them and value and sell to find out if i show them as the market price for high me have time. finally gets is 18000 shootings. they've done that shootings. yes. but for us, we buy it from, from us at $25.00. our then so that needs them. and i that incentive and, and what division we need to change the main to said we have to support to be is local communities to appreciate the only environment for us and then view 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 your guns it's e c o p, a full on next story. and from these to ones they 2 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 in place and 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. i need focus the demo region. the warm she keeps out on us set 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 warm pool that told me to be sure to harvest from her unusual pets. he's an excellent and environmentally friendly fertilizer, which she uses on her own crops. on a buckle. no. uh, but i'm a compressed typically used vehicles for these masefield today. even though there is not a lot of free, and at the moment it is going well not going to if i had used technical for to like the old of needed to spend up to 25000 building, which would be more than $400.00 euro. i missed this just but have missed the senior living. 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 researching. and 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, from margaret 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. we've just 4 participants including us. if i'm able and i'll meet to be sure to know the local not going to cut you a little office as trained over a 100 from us to produce of on the compost. but it took a long time for people to accept the warm keepers and realize the value of these creepy crawl is what 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 asked the so be touching the ones with my hands. and so some of them even told my husband look 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 the students asked me for one sponsor and i have supplied them all and saw i successful in 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. or what go by doing that goes to the owner and they're gonna and we are very keen to extend these initiatives to our village tumor as it is very cheap and simple solution for most of us saying they want to make their own complement instead of having to buy can be qualified to eliza, and then if you're spending this, i'm not sure that's other than set it up. the ones that are 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 setting the organic spots eliza. and once found a kiddo grumble's pond costs the equivalent of 8 zeros. well, 100 kilograms of funding compost. these 25 euros the funds are benefiting from the training they've received and no less dependent on can be called for devices which can be very expensive and comfortable to the environment side portion or so all projects supervisors in fairly complex customers. that's nice. any 4, do you think they did, you easily manage by the composing. so i would even bottom of this for the football, 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 as the funding think of funding compost as much as 80 percent of people who saw so holler and offer to rely on herbert met saying as the primary form of health care on this report takes us to burgundy. we have for additional he lives, have long used herbs and plans to fix diseases. yet the 1st station on the loss and biodiversity 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 the room. and at the same time, bring the destroyed woodlands back to life. like in the heavily the forest and 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 want to learn how to improve things. jeanette car can yonah recommends re for a staying with other trees, for example, whose roots bring an extra income. but apart from seedlings, she has some words of warning. is 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 of that sounds that 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 these trees are planted. erosion is no longer is matt, and this one, it was no longer being washed away, the whole collaborative did the bitter leaf shrunk. poor victoria on mcdonough can also be used 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 infusion is sold together with other therapeutic natural products and one of her company stores she says, part of the proceeds to finance reforestation projects that piece it saves it. so i have hope that replanting these last trees will lead to seeing them in house phones in the future. a quarter maybe a week and provide sustainable solutions to protect the environment. because we

will record will not be to set up this solved 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. what's us coast se, 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. 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,

chlorine content, everything is tested here in the bronx 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. so nothing of this is a really to raise the area and as well as being a terrific area, it's a very, it's a country 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 combat ongoing droughts, but the still a nation is expensive and there are other problems. so the is 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 not 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 for 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 the young lady that i know i see him. but i 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. to understand this assumption precedent, it's early in the season than you'll get them. uh. but hotel yeah. use a bracing themselves for an impact. around 19000000 people visited the 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 both treated in the basements. 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 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. the scenario is uh at the nearby katelyn institute of water research scientists are investigating the impact of counseling news, dr. a 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 good if the interruption last 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, but on new solutions. filtering the hotels gray water 3 ponds and swim 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 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 not 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 to how much longer bought to africa. now it's one next story in ivory coast. the government, their house 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. so this task 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,

new south 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. so sweet pot 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 panels arrays here. the bundle finance. 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 federal ration. 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 use 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 to invest this amount of money into. so that's a pressing question for invest as, as ivory coast has pledge to increase the shape of renewables and its energy mixed to 42 percent by 2013 in the north of the country. the goods the solar farm is the 1st of more than a dozen project aimed at reaching that target. the 78 heck to facility overseen by the state of the c i n a cheese cost 14000000 euros. it was made possible by a load from germany's k f w development bank, and

a drunk from the european union. with aiming to produce $5100.00 megawatts of electricity for cookies was including around $400.00 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 are under represented in the green energy sector, the german development agency g i 's it has set up a mentoring program to count to that. this energy project manager has taken a young student under her wing and is helping her to find an internship performance . 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. soon done. so. i mean, out of 15 engineers, i was the only one on hey, that's already a problem, right? it's almost like we need to raise awareness more generally to tell women that it's possible to do this g funk cuz it 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 base week. i am central at the 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,
