al-jazeera where ever you are. the conditions for existence on us a sustained by complex web of climatic processes. i mean the rains predictable seasons and consistent temperatures all allow life to flourish.

but how overreliance on fossil fuels is causing the delicate balance of our planet to shift. instances of extreme weather you speak of rat but now deadly heat waves wildfires powerful floods hurricanes and droughts are becoming the norm and. the question is no longer will they happen but when and how we can cope with them. i'm tony in kenya to explore a high tech solution that is helping her to survive on going to. a number a few viewed in myanmar where drones are helping to protect coastal communities against extreme weather events. two years has been in the grip of a devastating drought amongst those worst affected are kenya over five million

pastoring for whom finding fresh water and lush postulants is critical for the survival of their herds but something has been developed could something like this hold the key to getting heard is around the country through these difficult times. today and app called every scout is being launched in the town of. they'll be heard from all over the region who've come to learn more about the app and take that information back to their villages i'm interested to see what they make of the new technology. every scout is the brainchild of project concern international p.c.i. and committed to helping. nearly four thousand people around africa use it so far and today it's been officially rolled out in kenya. i mean. i think what. p.c.i. hopes to revolutionize how hurt is find water by using something eighty seven

percent of kenyans already have in their pockets. a smart phone well. the app access to satellite maps which detailed the water conditions throughout kenya every ten days. you could all see the fine there was so c.b.s. was not right on using it head is can see instantly we had to target migration and avoid using dry areas which need time to recuperate i. to find out more about how the app can help it is i'm off to southern kenya with some messiah i have lost both hof their cattle.

joshua and doesn't do it has been using a few scouts three months. joshua yes thank you so much allowing us to come to your home and join you today these are your animals yeah these are my animals is my father says it to me. is my. brother. is my it's a pleasure to meet you all so we're going to get started are we going to walk now or. process house and. we will go. back oh you will be. a bit wild when you go through that mena can possibly.

as much as five hundred dollars that market even move. something that seems so simple but it's really not. good rhythm and enough strength to make it. so when you have a drought like kenya is having now how does that affect your cattle last. year i lost. fifteen. billion but it was i felt it is very bad but. you know. i mean i know today we're going to take a trip i'm hoping. that makes it. that

we'll be making. wow long way to go. are accustomed to booking as far as it takes to find good pasta.

this is what. well i was moving on if. we tried to help. you. that's incredibly sad. so you had gone to try and look for water and pastures for the cows but the cow just couldn't make the journey and the cow just collapsed here yeah it was a big call. in the morning six. in the event so it was a real loss for you. and just it brings back home just the thought that it's such

a difficult way of life because you have to keep on the move to find the water and to find the grazing lands but in order to move these animals use so much energy to go from one place to another so if you don't know where you're going and you're just trying your luck wherever you can it's incredibly hard for these animals. with almost thirty percent of his livestock already lost to drought it's even more pressing for joshua to keep his surviving cattle in good condition which means finding ample water during the training flow we have won't be the. point somewhere here we needed. according to the app it's thirty kilometers from where they start. is a really popular place to come in trinkets someone else has brought. can we find a place under the tree maybe have a bit of a rest. so can we see this watering hole on the map

this is immoral we can form this. summer here you can see it from somewhere here. knowing the location of attempting to source like this could mean life or death for a herd. well you got a weather was. nice it was a woman the app can make all this much simpler it's all about what you've. got to you do not allow you to. ok because at the moment when you need to look for water for your cattle for pastures what do you do you just go blind and so you think you might use it. and does it sound interesting this is something something you would use and you could. it's been ten hours and we're into what should be good posture that.

this is where you are in the morning. and we have been on the way for a moment to carry we maybe. they maybe have an honorary messiah maybe. numbers you can do the different. yeah yeah it's so much better these classes. so the cows will be able to stay here they'll have enough to eat they will stay here oh almost one month and then left they always. give them up i mean that's the thing i've had a wonderful day thank you so much i'm tired and i've had a wonderful story and i must thank you now we can move to the homestead because the sun is burning some cup a couple then you've left yeah. yeah i could use one.

for her. for the herd is with access to satellite maps livestock mortality has really gone. since joshua has relied on i feel scout he hasn't lost any comes to drought and the money. to him has been a real. access. yes we have a lot more money and we don't know yet. if you have the. extreme weather events and now a regular occurrence around the world. but. scientists have found that human caused climate change is at the root of over two thirds of them the result is often human suffering. and twenty seventeen hundreds were left dad and many thousands homeless by a unusual weather conditions. the hurricane season in the caribbean caused unprecedented

levels of destruction. devastating floods swept across southeast asia tornadoes hit the south of the u.s. and california was roasted by a heat wave. since two thousand and nine one person every second has been displaced by disaster. it's predicted that by twenty fifty they'll be two hundred million environmental migrants. what the country observed is people migrate temporarily and there was a short distance internally between their countries if there's a drought or an environmental stress you move you temporarily moved but then there's trajectory protection and incentive from the reality the people coming back what we might see in the future is permanent migration and longer distance cooperation you might see whole communities having to relook right across their

life records are no longer have sustainable it might be an entire nation states that have to lose. mangroves are among the most fired up. vers habitats on the planet may play a vital role in the lives of coastal communities but these forests are facing deforestation thirty five percent of the world's mangroves of already been lost and here in the irrawaddy delta only sixteen percent were originally covered is left and in myanmar where local innovative project is combining grassroots conservation state they are drawn technology to take mangrove regeneration to new heights. myanmar is vulnerable to cyclons which strike every few years in two thousand and

eight the worst ever cycle nargis claimed more than one hundred thirty thousand lives. experts now believe that mangroves hold the key to saving thousands of lives and the next big storm hits. to find out how i've come to be a local coconut farmer who agreed to show me his mangrove forest. a while is a proper tree. the tallest man groups here reached twenty five meters and a sturdy forty centimeters in diameter the force was planted after a cycle of nine hundred seventy five. these trees here did you plant them we had audio with aggregate human being and i knew.

that you can imagine these incredibly. violent storms that blow in here and you start to understand how these mature forth actually have the capacity to break that wind and stop some of that storm surge making its way into these settlements and farms and how about maybe some of the other farms where there's no mangroves do you know of any farms that suffer because of the storms ending up there. is it any are you that the dead line and look at the. machinery out about you know our common humanity maybe here i miss you gotta go i mean. i know i get up there so it's a protection yeah. so if mangroves is so effective at protecting against storms why if one million hecht is being cut down since one thousand nine hundred eighty eight leaving the population here unprotected.

i'm meeting with a known and ecologists with thirty years' experience in forestry to find out. i know you thanks for me us a video thanks so much. when heads to worldview international foundations among groups regeneration project here in the i'm not. going. to get. the feet. with the critics.

oh. wow. at the moment this segment grocery all over this mental condition is seriously degraded right in that cost eighty are sixty percent of the villages they don't have a million jobs they're trying to find out their money from their mayor over here and then they can come in three within that one hour while they can get money for their livelihood you know i understand so you're talking about really a negative feedback cycle yeah it's this confluence of the environmental stresses and the economic stresses that has driving people into the mangrove yeah yeah i understand. shrimp and rice farming as well as charcoal production and strip myanmar of mongoose leaving it critically exposed. if action isn't taken soon the communities who live here in danger of being decimated by the next

big storm. there are still trees here yeah yeah there is this intrigue ok this is a war going to be ok from there to bob then fifteen. when one hundred locals and systematically planted four hundred thousand seedlings by hand here in the last three years. that all the way through doesn't it yeah. yeah. but the job is far from complete ok so we've come right into the thick of it here all that work that we can here in the background that's a lot of chopping and preparing of the ground before three hundred thousand seedlings or more in agreement that this might so sounds like there's a lot of hard work going on so we should maybe go on try and lend a hand. so can you tell me and you tube are you from

this area you know i know there are all of them are loaded. i don't even know why that all loaded i'm on all the you don't seem. to all get. invited me all my way more lethal you feel some way you're. giving something back when you know i lose i get out on. you know are you going to hold while you do yeah you want to look people are going to nominate me we've. got all my d.v.d. of unity we've been married we've got a mom who they know they'll be able to all. who mom. mom of the dollar. you know. yeah i understand you show me how to do i am a complete no of it just. can't. get it

get the hang of it i feel it's all about the angles to get. just like that. the team of thirty five thousand hectares of coastline to plant. the racing to do it before the next big cycle. this is an incredibly complex ecosystem but with looking at you as an ecologist it must be incredibly challenging. to move towards restoration to win this turn to the latest technology. business. we're trying to. make the plant the room and they are they working today they. don't want him to be here. today the

oxford based team of scientists will be testing with their double triple and quadruple co-opted room in front of seven thousand seats in an hour is still continue edge to stand back. and reena for the rink who heads up the project. so as this have been the mood for anything like this you know of no two thousand knowledge we are definitely the first one and it's going to be our largest experiment is it just we can have a look at one of the poets just to kind of get a sense of what you were actually dealing with here so what is what is inside this they're made from by the great evil plastic and all natural material and society also while you have local science and you have local minerals and natural materials it looks like we're nearly there i just saw a green light. ok well good. i

don't. feel. the test would be successful if one shot into the ground imbedded in the soil deep enough for growth to occur it works the team returned in a few months time to time twenty full believe. that is. i have never seen it from a guy before yeah. the drone has a preprogramed flight path if the seeds penetrate the soil the chance of each of these pods becoming a tree is greater than if planted by nature or hand because the depths will be moving system to it goes. down and the team are happy the seeds are in the ground and it's time for nature to take its course i was just thinking inside this thing i mean it's there's so much more than

just seeds it's it's to future it's a but then told to save a life because it's to live in schildt they protect people from the ocean they protect people from tsunami from here against and we have to do it now and we have to do it at the massive scale because from today to maybe six not months from now maybe one year from now is maximum we will have a growing shield already so if the cycling hits next year people here will be protected and when you when you put it like that you know all of a sudden something so small can seem very significant indeed so i'm actually going to put that back in the ground where we found. the scientist test is finished. but for women his team is just the beginning. they wanted to the seeds progress carefully. and fall goes to plan many more trees

will be planted by drone here in the near future helping to safeguard the coast from extreme weather. all over the world people are having to adapt to unpredictable climate and weather patterns. in canada west sea ice has become dangerously then a scheme is providing real time measurements of ice thickness to local communities . this data reveals which routes the safe to travel and which are knowledge. meanwhile in los angeles where extreme drought has become the norm. ninety six million shade will have been put into the l.a. reservoir to help produce evaporation rates. these projects

show the level of innovation that communities are using to protect themselves against increasingly volatile weather. but the question remains are these long term solutions or are they just masking the real problem. with the most locally and people in the world food production is under increasing strain to keep pace with the growing global population al-jazeera is environmental solutions program discovers new ways of feeding the world sustainably folksong eighty thousand just on this bit of the thread it's unbelievable to see there's the vegetable of the still right there. for thoughts on al jazeera business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.
