ah, ah hi of me. okay. on today's episode of the stream, droughts, the climate crisis, and extreme hunger in southern madagascar, i guess today will make the connection between all 3 of those issues. but 1st, let's start with 2 families doing that back to survive. drought off the drought after dropped the phone with it. i rely on god. today we have absolutely nothing to eat except cactus leaves that we are trying to clean up. we have nothing left. their mother is dead and my husband is dead. and what do you

want me to say? our life is all about looking for cactus leaves again and again to survive. this is nancy, i just look at that. because under linda, somebody in the morning i prepare vincent eye cream mother. i can give him the near total absence of warner. its been 8 months that my children and i have been in this class every day and exclusively because we have not been out and no rain to allow us to have it. what we have for joining us to talk more about a situation in southern madagascar. we have shelly re, christina, and charles. thank you so much being on the street today. shelly, it's good to see you. we've worked with you on the stream before ramana audience who you are and what you do. i actually went through i am with will, few program. i cover the southern africa region and i just got back from medical school or spent just a little over a month down in the south, down at that at the center of the crisis that we are going to discuss the see thing

. thanks for joining us. marine coffee and welcome to the stream. introduce yourself to have us around the world. oh, hi. we want to show our christy. i'm a huge factor from climate and feminist. i've been in the south yesterday and also a few weeks ago and movie i will you women's organization regarding this issue now? all right, most new tina in just a moment and welcome charles to the street. please introduce yourself to our view as well. thank you for the opportunity to engage with you today. i'm charles who i am the chief executive officer of action. i did hunger and he worked, he, one of the very few organizations working this out in the part of my gosh, her child, you sent us some video shed some video with us. it's drug video. and it shows us

quite clearly what is happening as far as the drought consent. if we look at this video, what are we seeing here? charles, you've seen an area that has been affected, you know, over a number of years where the ring, 4 parts has changed significantly. and so the area is very dry. as you walk clean, you find that you have wings that have already taken a lot of the soil to be able to blow that way. the organic might at lee at the top soil, which really helps plans to grow. it's already gone. and so we talk about an area that is very desperate because there is no food because of the reduction in rate that we see over the last 4 decades. but then the last 3 years, we have seen drought, not a single drop of rain in that area. and so people are beginning to stop and

children are suffering. that's what we're seeing in this area. to here is an area of the world. there is no food, shelly, i could see you shaking your head as you were watching those, those. i'm going to literally pour in the literal sense of the word poor families working out what they could eat that was around them foraging. what are people eating? what did you see people hopefully and then i met the one of the mothers that you show in the film tomorrow. and she had that play to cat to seats in front of her children just picking picking the seats. these are coping mechanisms. can you imagine just co clean your fridge and that being nothing in your fridge and just the puppets of that. and these people don't even have you 10 proof. they sold everything. she told me that even if i was to find something to eat,

i doesn't buy would i didn't have utensils, i don't even have the food, nothing to cook with. and just to go back to what channels is saying, i mean water water enough to drop anywhere kind of people watching our conversation and they will be thinking, hold on a minute, not a gas got a tropical paradise. what's going on here? there is a difference between the geography and the climate in the nor from part of madagascar, and in the southern part of madagascar. give us a very quick climate lesson about your country. i was kidding. that is among the most countries regarding kind of change the top regarding climate change. and i was talking about country people used to things that matter, that green country we've already,

but we have that very and that's different from region to region. often to the west and east, we have regular all by goes we have we have johnson to solve that. we also love him to know. so i will country though he's very vulnerable and unfortunately quite invisible. i mean promotional level. well, i'm not doing it to not small got you. i'm not even considered, especially on it, especially as i've been island, which is sometimes knows i recall to people they sometimes that matter that doesn't even exist. and what i want to share, i don't want to show you some data, but i, i want to show you some. so if does,

what does it mean for matter that's got to be among the most of our country. we've gotten climate change, especially better got it means that of course people, they don't have food. we so we do the video. this is not only a question of them for me. it's also a question of human rights today in the cell phone, but we also have that tree. i'll call them when you are a moment. was a woman i, you know, i don't wanna work for the kilometers, particularly those to collect one. but then the last one to jeez, that was the last one to, to even be the man eat 1st and all region away. yeah, no, no, no, it's fine. i, it's wonderful that you were able to give us

a insight into the culture of madagascar, not just the data in terms of stats and where we are, we've drought, i'll be close to family, etc. i heard the phrase, women eat not from you. but i know the phrase, women eat least and last. right. so if you have no food bodies up major problem, let me bring you back here to the alarm, but he's now being sounded by the international community, tina, you, you think people don't even know where magic asked raise. they don't know that with a phone rebel. some of the international conversations do know this, w, f, p, madagascar, malnutrition, among children, expected to quadruple in southern madagascar because of the drought led by climate crisis. so where, what are we looking at shelly in terms of how many people are living on peptide are living on in sex?

because a joke, because it's just absolutely the way that the number of people on the brink of starvation in famine like conditions is going to double coming up to what we call the lea season. which is that period between planting and harvesting. if you haven't had rain, if you haven't had it up for brain for 3 to 4 years, it's miserable. but in terms of what can i grow? what can i cultivate? your white teenage when we talk about it's an island. people always say that you fish the, the people that are affected of farmers, they only know bombing. and because of the nature of like, claims that have hit southern africa. sunstorm the highly and tight that is swept from the coastal, from the coastal tunes. and just cover the land when you fly in the land when you

see those drones and it's that orangey sand color where it's impossible to grow anything. and so again, climate, this is the frontline impacts of climate change and these people have done nothing to contribute to climate change. i'm just, i'm so glad you said i'm going to bring charles in a shot because i want to share the conversation between all of you. landry interest, a is a regional director, 350 africa door, or key point out what a lot of developing nations know is that they were not responsible for the climb quite fish, but yet they are paying a high price. this is landry. charles, we listen to laundry and then come immediately off the bat with your own thoughts. so dizzy tuition. put a spotlight on the disproportionate nature of climate crisis, which unfortunately can affect the countries that have contributed. delete

to the crisis. torso, the climate impact to be just as we're seeing a motor, gus can give us a glimpse of the tuition which isn't likely to happen. so know to become a start and shared reality across africa and beyond were parole, drought, terrible floods and intensive footprint. extreme where the event are likely to become part of our daily life. yes. so phoebe luxury is right. my gosh kind of other countries that i'm such areas. they contribute very little or they have contributed very level when it comes to what causes climate change. yet the other one that are being just proportionately being affected because of geography. so you let you look at

the case of my, the gas can where it lies. and what we've seen over the last 4 decades, the roof for partners have been diminishing over time. and let's remember that this particular area that we talking about, it's already semi our is already dry. and so if you have, you know, for decades or decreasing rainfall in this area. and then in the last 3 years we've seen extreme drought in that area. what is left? nothing. and so from where we said, we see that the more imperative for a while to be able to help the people of madagascar as we speak. because they have contributed very little to climate change. but because of where they are, they are now being affected. and when we listen to the voices of the mothers, why mother that we spoke wait. she said,

what bothers me the most is that i am not able to see my child. we're talking of the dignity of a mother, the pride that a mother has to be able to bring the child into this world. and having that capability to see the child. yes, she find herself in a situation where she is not able to see this job. and tears rolling down, you know, her fries struggling, and so he's right landry is right. these countries have contributed very minimal. yet the other one that i've been affected, and that has the reason why the whole global, that's why there is a more imperative to make sure that we stop these people from suffering better. let me just bring in some youtube comments shalayna for them to you and, and then also to you charles as well. just very briefly so that we can get for as many as possible. green borman on youtube says this is the reality for south africa as well. still people deny global warming leaders in this country that south africa

still make use of co power because they have shares and these coal mines and they benefit. this isn't even a wakeup call. shelly, this is a red flag that we're seeing right now. we're madagascar go ahead. quick thoughts on this? absolutely, and you know, you chose to said, you know, we, a displacement from climate change we are seeing and where to go. people often say to me, or can they move where you live to? because you have been in your villages with your families the years. this is the life that, you know, it's very remote, it's very rule coded. the pandemic has obviously meant the country is going to look down. so in terms of seasonal employment, likelihood lighting prices. yes, it is just that effecting not only madagascar, but globally, there's a lot more hunger book today than the probably and 12 months ago,

24 months ago. we're concerned like your viewers and your listeners and the panelists today, because if we don't app now, we will have failed people. i want to bring in david paint, executive director of the world food program. he was a madagascar in june. and one of the things that david mileage is to do is he removes himself, says, as a sort of an executive of a un agency, and you feel that the real person is seeing what is happening in front of him. so he posted this on facebook, however, listen, have a look for us. this is the frontline, the impact of climate change. people's lives have been devastated. these families here has literally had to migrate still everything that they have. the home, the land, the pots,

and because the drought back to back in this is not because of war conflict. this is just because we're here on the front line with saving lives changing. so our audience guess are trying to come up with some ideas and solutions. the magic ask, i am sure that tina and, and many people, madagascar doing exactly the same thing. this is pen die 10 dice saying if someone symbolic way, which places frequent throughout they could introduce more drought with it's been a fast growing crops. and climate proofing farming systems by the use of water retention methods as marching and encouraging each household to grow enough for family. all right, so that's what 10 guy was saying on twitter. charles, you know about farming? is this a viable idea for me? yes. because this is the time to be able to put all of these tools in the hands of our farmers to be able to help them. because we know that if we do not,

what is going to follow is not something all of us are going to be proud of. so if you look at the very typical farming environment, when the rains come in, many of these are the coming towards the core and they run off. so part of what she's saying is to be able to measure, we can capture many of these, allow them to pack it into the soil. so not only will preserve the water to be able to use for radiation, but we also allowing now to collision to this. so to be able to recharge the ground water that we can lead to on tap to be able to use. the 2nd part is with is about the whole drought crops though we're talking about drug resistant crops, we know that is going to happen. and the fact that we know is going to happen means we have to do something. now, there's research taking place that many of these crumbs out, we know what, you know, what are survive in these extreme heat. and that's what has happened in madagascar . so what we're trying to do is how the mothers glasgow is to be able to work with

these farmers to be able to bring in these drug resistant crops to be able to help them. but sometimes also to go back to some of those indigenous crops that we used to cultivate in such dry area that such chrome that will not do well. let me give you an example. mays mays needs a lot of water and a lot of nitrogen. if that's what we're going to continue to grow and many of the drought areas, we're not going to be successful. so where, so go, whereas millet, so it's about me to buy the tools that we can do to put into the hands of how farmer's dad would withstand what school you know. and because others, well, i mean, so he sent me that. i mean, the other question i have both to tina and charles how do you change the habit with people, you know, how do we need money? we know we need money to get this off the ground and to make sure that pipelines and water geisha water harvesting, but where we are today, we have w,

p 7078600000 dollars just to provide food assistance, emergency food for people that are on the brink, starvation. so where are we going to to in terms of changing the long term development? yeah, let's, let's bring it back in here. i'm going to show a couple of pictures here, these, these, these in your team. we've got young people here trying to affect change in madagascar trying to do things that may well change how the climate crisis is impacting the people other madagascar you come with solutions for i shall tell us one that's really important to you. so i like to, to share at least one positive sometimes the messages and solution that well having the madagascar prob,

probably needs now that most of the solution are from top to the down, down not solution from the community, not pollution from the population. whereas we have young people, well woman organization, we have local communities with solution. they are really aware of the fact of climate change and not only beggars down, not only begging for food of what they have need to to and, and that's what we want to share this positive message in our country to and, and for example, these last few weeks i've been working on launching origin, all you platform in the, in the region in the south. we have to get back to you building that training with you. and also the last few days i had the chance work we've, we've local fi, thank gathering, gathering,

a diversity of factors like doctors, engineers, a student from i like to try shaving to get the solution for the position for the community. because tina can i some things that i already had on youtube are asking you, which is? yeah, madagascar today your neighborhood tomorrow, which is a warning. and then pass me to you. what makes you think that the situation in southern madagascar will get better just briefly tina go ahead. may be too optimistic. no, no, no. you can't be too. i think for the st. might we need that off to this conversation. go for it just briefly. so as not to do, i think that the change, the change is for our generation now. it is still possible to bring these cars, this probably changing cost for the community. what i also want

to share in the fact that in the region, this region is considered as a cemetery project for many years that many projects that i've been where to launch in these regional madagascar. but didn't work because they didn't come to their community. they didn't consider you, you are part of why you know, the majority of the population, the matter got well 70 percent. you met a guy and i'm wondering actually did under what drove you work with locally you for the nation of you work the, the local university to yes, we have solution to so now it's time to, to bring the real dialogue and to bring the strength together and doctors that will be my med message today. so for me, within as right, right, it's about it's about the empowerment of the people that we work with. bringing low

cost solutions to the problem. so inaction, again, hunger in many of the place that we work in this out. it is that approach that we continue to use. so let me give you an example. so we have these $25.00 mobile health and nutrition units that move around the private branch out area to be able to help you know, what has happened and how long because we're almost at the end of the show. so make a very brief example. go for it. so we go in there, we have to save lives right there by working with the mother and empower them to be made sure that the child is not dead. and so by bringing them into our discussions and empowering them with the tools they need to make sure that they can be able to do their work and doing well. all right, whenever we do a show like this, where we are showing people in the world in dire need, people always ask, how can we help? here is one way. when the cycle a failed office, there's no planting. there's no harvest, there's no crops. and people who are ready,

so definitely thing that sold them mattresses, that cooking pulse, they have nothing left see to providing basic food, infant supplements, rice themes, oil, and we know it's work and we can see children recovering. we are saving lives every day. but see it are limited due to a lack of world understanding of the dire situation and madagascar until they think you can fight seed online. and in the closing 30 seconds of the show. shelly, if they want to support the work of the w f p, what can people do? people can do they really, we can also just make sure that we get the word out. i know i love the passion of tina. let's keep, let's keep talking to the youth that get that women out there that make sure that we like really appreciate you. shelly, christina, thank you. charles, everybody who was contributing on youtube for your questions and your comments really appreciate you. thank you so much. the next time,
