with different languages we fight with different things that's fine but we all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters w made for minds. hello everyone and welcome to the latest edition of eco africa. in lagos nigeria and i am very happy to welcome you today we have lots of new environmental topics and ideas from europe and africa but i'm not alone with me is my charming colleague in south africa hello there hey auntie it's great to be here again my name is

ecology of you and i'm so glad you tuned in for the show today we'll be taking you on a trip all over our beautiful continent as we shed some light on the environmental threats we face here. who travel to zambia we will see how a huge reporter heats up climate action. in cameron weeks people switching from firewood to bio gas to meet spec it means he needs it. and he had to go now to meet cocoa farmers struggling to push big deals against all odds. while the culprits behind climate change come predominantly from countries around to europe the us and asia africans are taking the brunt of this impact many are already affected by rising temperatures and irregular rainfall it 21 year old reporter in zambia is using a radio broadcast to inspire her peers to action wash area knowledge about deforestation pollution and other environmental challenges in the country she believes africans

need to wake up and adapt before it's too late oh. yes. i chuckle markets in lusaka trees that once protected the zambian savanna assumed here and who can feel climate trying to have beaches feeley reports how filling these trees has an impact on daily life in communities in lusaka milling with martians in the market the young radio reporter is looking for allies in how to fight against climate change. our ways be that one. i'm here to look for problems but rather look for solutions together we don't come here to look at what the negative things people are doing but rather to help as come up with solutions that are going to help us you know are a collective collective so those are the things that we actually do and this is why we always have to come here to collect stories that are inspiring and what it.

really has her own show i tell you suck a community radio station in an hour long broadcast each month she talks about environmental issues in lusaka and what to zambians can do about them in my. old age how you. see reds. today she's talking about have visit to the chapel market later she really nice is about her childhood telling how her neighbors would fight over water before the well ran dry due to persistent droughts . 3 believes that many zambians are already affected by the climate change but that most are not aware of it. so every person needs to have adequate information and that is what my patron is about in all the rage issues that actually gets to to it's about creating or giving out

information that inspire our full information that is actually able to stimulate every person's mindset and say look i have been affected by this situation by climate change and i think it's high time we get to do something about it that's my patient. climate change is deeply and just although african countries account for a tiny fraction of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere droughts floods and rising temperatures heat the continent with full force but theory is convinced that zambians i'm not helping. and can mitigate the effects. that stats we've educating people. most of the vendors and the whole market have never even heard of climate change for many theories show is an eye opener helping them to understand the changing with the patterns they have witnessed. or reading

about in 20152016 some get erratic water supply due to to lead to or no rainfall and also that was caused because many people were busy cutting down the truth and this is what we're actually going to get to see more if no action is actually implemented by we the people. she really wants to inspire the people at the markets to think about ecological altena teams such as chattel made from banana peels all maize commitment shows how young people across the globe are becoming increasingly aware that climate change may compromise their future and that action must begin now. let's hope they continue to get the support they need to further develop the project in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way you said it's the spreading ideas about how best to tackle environmental issues isn't always easy although here we have an example of some people who got a waste management is

a serious problem around the world but we are about to see that their through cooperation which is key to tackling the issue a movement that's starting $2008.00 in estonia has caught on around the world thanks to the positive power of social media. pressure trash pressurized plastic plastic glass to class to class to class to our way that carving up the planet. the let's do it movement brings together people from around the world to clean up their countries on so-called clean up day. this. civic led mass movement began to stonier in 2008 when 50000 people gathered to collect waste across the country. in just 5 hours they picked up $10000.00 tonnes of illegal trash. from the estonian capital tallent has been part of the core team from the outside.

i'm really happy that it's really small meant we have given people back the understanding that they have power to change things it doesn't have to be organizing a worldwide cleanup for a country like tina it can just be the power of making a little bit different decisions every day because your friends will know it definitely will know it it's the most important change you can inflict on the world changing yourself. since then the donations funded movement are spread around the world. the global network has engaged a total of more than $35000000.00 volunteers since its launch in around $160.00 countries not an easy thing to manage. mostly when the clean ups are organized you need a lot of people working together they are very very often spread all around the country but they need to work together is in

a very synchronized way so we must. use their knowledge sheet to to assess the problem to plan the action and to communicate with each other it's crucial otherwise you couldn't done it you couldn't do it in such a large scale. the launch of the waste mopping up mark to model stone in the projects progress that allows volunteers to locate trash are pictures and other data like the type or size of the worst that makes coordinating volunteers an easier task. the team is also developed the world waste platform which provides. overview of the worst situation of the whole planet a global market for a global movement. it's always a kind of highlights when you see people working in very critical situations there were people conducting cleanups in warsaw ones in conflict zones there were people conducting cleanups in 2018 during hurricanes and cyclons if

you see this kind of human bravery and will to make it happen despite of the circumstances that's really humbling and inspiring. for the let's do it movement cleaning up is just the 1st step on a long road keeping the well clean is the next part of the journey we call it keep it clean plan which is a set of activities or steps we can take in in different sectors in each country so figuring out together with all those people involved through the movement through the working up day how we can inflect changes in our police service how we can educate ourselves our kids grownups how to make better choices every day. on her fellow activists know that small steps can lead to big change.

now small steps can indeed lead to big changes one thing that really needs to change is the destruction caused by drilling and digging into the ground fossil fuels and the cutting down of forest in order to generate energy if only we could find a way to turn all that garbage into energy right well as many of you who are sick of us know many people already doing just that here's an example in caramel. every item has to be modified by hand it is a lot of work. from an established the nonprofit 20 five's. nubile energy come along. 3 years ago. i did 2 workshop in the capital yonder there mortifying a portable gas stove instead of a gas bottle it should run on bio gas some families in the countryside are already using the system you are doing and you see most family don't use firewood to get into your house if you go by the your guys use them or their over in the house

anything that can get out of the police i didn't just come up with a good result of the cooking gas you have the he said he said i'll come out for it and then you are organic manual and this is a bio gas digester bore mohamed and his team i visited a village north of here wanting to show farmers how to build and operate a bio gas system when a production to decompose don't take place they've gotten our ice and be at it all they have schooled about 300 people over the past few months demand for the devices and training is rising still it is sometimes hard to convince people of the advantages of this new technology we need that space where it can be practiced shown to people because people want to see we would all want to listen listen a lot of nothing has been happening so they want to see so on many mass practitioners is to carry out a lot of experiments that the short of the people that this thing works. is

installing its biggest facility to date in a small town outside the allen day with a large septic tank for the recycling of organic waste. it was commissioned by a catholic seminary there at a cost of about $2.00 and a half 1000 euro's. human kitchen and garden ways to be fed into the tank the resulting bio gas will be used in the seminary kitchen which feeds the $200.00 students. belive it as how the seminary with the project as a consultant should be looking for the whites technology for a long time. while they even sent me to china to see if i could source the equipment there to produce bio gas. that we discovered that there was already an enterprise in cameroon itself that makes what we need. so we ordered it through

camp. recommends already install a number of bio gas systems both portable and fixed but not many people institutions and come along our way of bio gas as an eco friendly energy source we intend to promote this thing but you know we're no finals no more to know they need you know support it's very very difficult to create awareness the government development plan cameroon vision 2035 m's to promote to china to energy use but so far the biogas plays a tiny role in the energy mix. food security continues to be of serious concern in much of the world and especially here in africa where around some 2 percent of inhabitants experts say still rely on the land for their livelihoods especially as temperatures rise and the weather becomes increasingly

extreme it is basically impossible to predict the outcome of seasonal harvest on the fields that seem to be a real need for additional alternative ways to produce food so the show supplies when traditional crops fail are doing you a bit from nigeria maybe a glimpse of what the future holds. jewish population already numbers more than 190000000. but the country doesn't have enough land to grow food for the rising population. and due to climate change floods have become more frequent and for thailand has become even scarcer. samson a bully is found in an eco friendly solution to the problem. on his farm in ogun state he grows yams tomatoes and other vegetables using a method called aero panics. instead of using soil

a nutrient packed mist is sprayed on to the plants roots. this method allows plants to grow faster producing higher yields compared to conventional farming. due to the controlled climate in the greenhouse crops are independent of seasonal changes and no pesticides have to be added to the system. there is a must as are those of people from villages to the open center so we need to be able to also ensure the food for those come in for burn center. so far 40 farmers work in his greenhouse some sanogo late hopes to convince more to help feed africa's most populous country. and how about you. and if you are also doing your bit tell us about it. visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories.

now let's head to uganda i'd like victoria in the eastern part of the country there i've been lately some problems in miami it's. sad to say those crocodiles attacks came from over exploitation of the lake or agree indeed n.t. it's a corker does don't get enough fish they behave aggressively towards humans villages started to kill the crocodiles but peter the one who wants to save the reptiles but relocated them more than $400.00 kilometers up country they experience crocodile catcher has captured more than $100.00 now crocodiles impressive isn't it. the fear some site of a nile crocodiles the largest species of d.n.a. in africa while tourists cruise the nile hoping to see the imposing reptiles from

the safety of a board along the shores of lake victoria the 4 rushes predictors pause a deadly threat to people living in the area. drinking fish stalks and shrinking crocodile habitants have led to a worrisome rise in attacks in recent times in the crocodiles have reportedly killed 7 people over the last 3 years a shia muslim lost her 7 year old granddaughter just a few months ago. you know our back. i received a phone call and i was told that people were frightened back home a crocodile had grabbed my granddaughter and disappeared with her villages tried to save her that monday but it was too late like. many victims are children who go down to the lake to play or fetch water fishermen are also a target peter is

a crocodile expert with the uganda what they feel free to he and his team have come in response to reports of a sighting they ask the villages for further details before setting off to search for the animal when we receive information with quickly rushed to this scene to form we do assessment and we do that capture of the crop of the locals the lead the team to the areas favored by the large reptiles. they really are trapping made from a piece of meat attached to wire on that floor. so that when a crocodile a comes the grabs the debate. and then the wire will die i didn't know what your or they are by your way and it is right. there why are biting. but in this instance the crocodile squad needs to adjust the trap the

predator smells a rat and escapes. because well too many cases we cannot bear might die so we may reach when it has already eaten something or did 2 or 3 days we are supposed to spend in that area will not be successful. we may fail to capture because the crocodile is not active actively hunting. in one village the crocodile hunters have more luck fishermen have captured a crocodile themselves or gone steam is here to take it away safely safe not just for the people but the crocodile too. after a 7 hour drive the team arrives at the crocodile farm on the outskirts of kampala and the animal is released the facility was set up by the uganda wildlife or $3000.00 partnership with the private investor. this one has reportedly

killed 7 people the predator permanently lives in captivity now since its judged too dangerous for the wild. visitors paid to see the creatures which helps finance the farm that ensures aggressive crocodiles a safe haven some of their offspring will be returned to nature but the program was set up for several reasons one to breed them we want them to really. and then we live in a cooperative the eggs and. we will get the young ones which will go for what isn't popular for educational purposes and for that the uganda where level 3 t. puts the country's crocodile population at about 1200 crocodile expert peter all one has captured and relocated over 120 of the wild creatures so far most of them

are now living freely in national parks in uganda. all of you out that doesn't love truckloads did you know that coke originated in central america over 5000 years ago while in the meantime it has become a highly sought after global commodity and it may or may not surprise you to hear that today the top 2 cocoa producing countries are in africa that's good for trade but a life on the farm is not always so sweet. with a heavy heart. setting out to work. he has to cut down trees in one part of his plantation. there are parts that never ripen properly because of the virus. not going to be. this is no good for harvesting we can't process it it's spoiled. swollen shoot

virus is the name of the disease that's affecting his trees but it's not his only problem so all this is part of my farm i planted cocoa planting and other crops here just like elsewhere on the farm but the timber contractors have cleared everything and they didn't even compensate me so i'm why many timber companies and gone are involved in illegal deforestation. charles pref an e-mail from the n.g.o.s and he is working with the farmers to at least ensure they don't further exacerbate the problem. we have telling farm is to. be a farm doing things. about so that we can really benefit from the our own small talk and not to move into the robot of the us but what we have seen about big timber companies with some trying to degrade the forest and use cotton of rocks we don't really replace and his dutch n.g.i.

has rented farm land on the edge of the forest for the past 2 years they for on a tree nursery had. orlando's money was among those who were given seedlings from the nursery. left by sure the n.g.i. has given him tips on how to base the growth of his trees down sections of banal or trunks for example can help to strengthen the roots he's also learned how to treat the stumps of the disease trees that he's chopped down. i use herbicide to kill off the stump so that it can't regenerate otherwise it can infect the new trees that i've planted you have to use herbicide to kill the entire system i didn't realise that before i say. but it's not been easy for the ngo at 1st many farmers were skeptical about the ex-pats from the city but that changed as the ngo won some powerful allies. as a respected and successful cocoa farmer

a few years ago he gave his plantation an overhaul chopping down the older trees and planting new ones. back to western ghana and orlando was money. fortunately the government didn't reduce the producer price this year. so he'll and the equivalent of one year a 31 kilo of trying to beans if the quality is good. however in orlando was mani's village news the engineers project which has helped the farmers so much is due to end. the farmers have come together for a meeting at the local church welcome you to sue up room community they all want the project to continue. and come with me think i take your concerns very seriously i understand that you want the project to be extended for one or 2 years i will forward this information to our donors i hope that something can be done but

unfortunately i can't promise you anything right now but somebody who might say if you you know. even if the funding dries up the n.g.i. his promise to continue advising the phone as. i think. it's good to be reminded of all the hard work that goes into making those sweet treats i'm afraid that's all we have time for today thanks for joining us i so long for me easy bye bye until next time see you then. bye for now and was a pleasure co-hosting the show with you and to you our viewers out there every member you can find out more about environmental protection and sustainability on also show media platforms but for now i'm now outside with signing up from lagos nigeria so you again next time.
