the secrets of some tree. limbs starts october 11th. comes time enough. hello 2 and welcome to all our viewers around the world we're glad to have you with us for the latest edition of our environmental magazine eco africa and i'm especially pleased to introduce to you my new partner sandra it's a great pleasure for me to present the program with you sandra. thank you so much thank you for the one welcome i am standard you know bill coming to you from come

here in uganda and from now on i'll be taking up with n.c. to bring you interesting environmental programs here's what we have for you this week. we visit women. to make stoves the koofi dot com for chuckle we also show you why blushes and it runs on treatment away. and we. often think that the sunday picnic leaves close to nature. uganda has those 2 thirds of its forest cover in the last 20 years much over 4 is husband cleared to provide a chuckle for bonding seen everywhere looking at income more than 80 percent of ugandans rely on checker for their daily cooking needs according to government figures roll stream is innovation hova uses. energy for cleanup cooking and lighting solutions for families while providing employment to the women she has built a clinical can stall to replace the environmentally positive. good

. only for life. but it's both bad for her help and bad for the environment he's also expensive no she has a special news top of it costs a lot but it can still save hum money. i used to use a lot of. using. the one proves you're doing shootings in this home. but no the. news doesn't. 100. 1 can it is the key to this new. ones. they remain hold for i was with the help of a solar powered fund. that blows that continuous flow of air over them.

was invented by ross twine she runs the company that makes them. we have a technology that can move you from. victory cracking in uganda because with. by name more than bonds more than our firewood bond if if if if. the volcanic rocks can be used for about 2 years an average of comes in virus configurations including large commercial ones like this range at a market in the capital kampala where a 1000 people come to eat every day it's also beneficial for the kooks who use it because the device generates almost no smoke estimates say smoke from traditional stoves contribute to the death of almost $20000.00 people a year in uganda the new stove is also more efficient than conventional designs. but others. can cook anything on the stove and saying

a lot of the stoves have really helped us because after building them here the company gives you the volcanic rocks. we have since given up using charcoal and only use charcoal dust which we used to light the rocks i now just spend a quarter of the money i used to spend on charcoal. what are you. insult western uganda at the foot of mount bora it has provided new opportunities for farming families it has trained and employed a number of groups to extract their rocks which are later collected and taken to the company premisses. but when a truck comes i get up to $100.00 i only use the money. to pay school fees for my children by them clothes and food life is much better now because people buy these

rugs we used to grow crops and the stones got in the way of that but now we're lucky enough to have someone pay for them is there to do a reason large to volcanic works because to a factory the company builds up to $40.00 stored a day around $17000.00 have been sold so far each comes with a small bag of books rose trained sees the device will be used in menu we jews and countries. we want to have as many people to be coming to bring you us to be able to break exactly what we're doing in various parts of the country we don't want to on that issue again remains here uganda has a population of 14000090 percent chocolate so these are huge potential market for the told the benefits will also be huge and help to steward it for a station of the african continent. would go from uganda to russia

wait looks quite different from the victoria right behind me the eco system in left money in the autonomous russian republic of congo is under serious threat with its pelican numbers in recent years the poker numbers are reduced by 50 percent that's right sondra and who's to blame yet again their experts say our old friends climate change and pollution are wrecking the lakes delicate balance in who africa take stock of one of europe's biggest public and reservations. in some of its shallow say line lake in southern russia as republic of color makiya attracts countless birds some of them have journeyed thousands of kilometers to get here and while there are dozens of different species it's the pelican population that environmentalist are looking at most closely the birds have been coming to lake money for centuries but this year numbers are down. the population

has fallen. last year there were about 700 and this year there are only about $500.00. that's because there were a lot of cormorants among them last year and we don't have that many ponds now to provide enough fish. the lake itself is 344 square kilometers an area and has an average depth of just 0.6 metres but the effect of global warming a causing it to shrink as the water level goes down range of beach f. explains some of the islands that pelicans nested on have become peninsulas attached to the shore. managers becoming shallow in some places which means it's accessible to predators and as soon as predators come into play the colonies gone. we have a jaeger island right here and last year the pelicans used to mast this year the

water is too shallow in foxes have turned up so the pelicans and cormorants are gone. the lake money it's good plans are of vital importance to more than just pelicans they're also a migration habitat for millions of geese and ducks. twice a year large flock stop over to rest and refuel before moving on. but it's the pelicans that are most affected by the dramatic changes in the lakes ecosystem . come on my bus is food is becoming increasingly scarce habitats are deteriorating pollution is on the rise feeding even a few offspring they only lay a couple of eggs is becoming harder and harder. so the population is declining she's convinced. it's a question. for locals and tourists who come to love the pelicans it's hope that

something can be done before these graceful birds disappear for good. announcer this week's doing your bit it's about construction means concrete and how to make its production more environmentally friendly it's hard to imagine any infrastructure project anywhere in the world without thinking about. german scientists and the african partners in nigeria trying to make concrete production more sustainable and. reduce the suits remissions during the process and they've made an outstanding discovery took a look. africa's building sector is booming the continent uses as much concrete for construction as

europe does but making the cement that binds it produces a lot of carbon dioxide up to 10 percent of the world's c o 2 emissions. scientists from germany and nigeria are studying alternatives there are experimenting with remains of local plants such as kosov appeals that have been incinerated at certain temperatures. from the ash that we collect we develop cement like products they could be used in place of cement binder sold at local markets that would reduce the c o 2 footprint. ash from rice hulls and other plant remnants are also showing promising results using plant based cements is an environmentally friendly alternative. not only can an endless supply of organic waste be put to good use this is stable eco concrete is also much cheaper to

produce. it may even be more stable and durable than conventional concrete. or course we want. the scientists hope to see the 1st building made from a concrete constructed as early as next year on the university of lagos' campus. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it. visit our website or send us a tweet. during your. you know your story. and once again eco africa highlights just how much we underestimate nature's potential time and again and we can see it again in our next report even if the man

that it's about has long recognized the problem will try to live more in line with nature cosmetics and made from natural ingredients becoming more popular be allowed going today from lagos is making an organic so that's found fame for father fabio nigeria and now he's shipping his naturally mates so around the world. oh. the camp would tree is native to west africa centuries people here have used it for all kinds of purposes from woodworking to making dying and health and beauty products. when ground into powder the coal beneath the bark is good for treating various skin problems. 'd day needs to wood to make is due to a certain black soup that is pounded it is ground and it's made into

a paste to expertly the skins of babies is also used as a beauty regimen to make the skin supple. because a week. and introduces into the soap in a very smooth water for. 3 d. and his team a constantly working on improving the formula which also includes the chair butter and alabama all natural ingredients harvested locally. building a manufacturing business school gonna call that to nigeria has been challenging business restructure. there's no doubt in the persistence. education system is dysfunctional. the government house is there to have existed when it comes to manufacture or business so if you're looking for to the government to help you. with your time we'll do it they set up this company in 1995 and it now produces

more than $150000.00 per day from production to packaging everything is done in the large factory. during the places great value on natural ingredients and traditions we know that people have skin problems around the world people of different races different colors but the skin is the same and the healing characteristic of this will benefit mankind. of his soul throughout nigeria and it sells well. even though it is so much more expensive than regular soaps. i think is that close to nature in which i had met a lot so we tend to spend more on its home ok without t.v. using something that has cost but you get in the venues so you will have in mind the cost of the products salads right now the masses have not changed as. i don't

think i'm thinking of changing or did you assume is already marketed in several countries but greedy wants to really establish the brand internationally he's also got versifying the portfolio with organic share better and by the aleutians he hopes his success will inspire others to become entrepreneurs who want to provide something that the up and coming don't want to say look i want to be like that person i want to beat his record if you come. you know it's the arts and successful in the world market we can also do that as the man teaching growing the company is planning to buy more land where he can cultivate insisting to be in fashion the trees and plants he needs so he's a natural predator. living with nature and learning from it is something over central narrative of this week's africa it's also a message the indigenous some people in south africa want to pass on to everyone

the sun people recently opened up a new culture set according to what 2 means what a hole in the sun long which the sun have built a tremendous culture knowledge about and nature on plant life visitors can find out about it in the new culture center africa took a 2 hour. and learned until hope's a shake creatures but bongo knows how to get up close slowly and steadily and from down. his people the sun hunt the animals but today he's only checking up on the hood elements have special significance for this one. if you look at the structure of the animal itself is quite massive it can provide a lot of weight it can provide a lot of the centimes a blanket the steam is used as a blanket and there is also offset they use it for cooking they use it for a solution the use of for cleaning themselves. doctors they use it also for another

purpose so this is why i say elephant is the most 2nd of the same animal. might you see bongo walks as a guide quite to some culture and education center in central tamia cape town it's the fire center dedicated to sun culture in south africa and. the sun are also known as bushmen. the traditional hunters and gatherers i mean the agents people in southern africa their own sisters lived here when the dutch reached these shoes over 300 years ago. they don't are they left behind ever sizes the signs deep connection to nature they don't know some of the european colonialist. laws and assimilation have marginalized the group today there are only about 150000 people in south africa who identify as

sun. walking up the center ma to see bongos colleague could be more has learned to appreciate the believes and traditions of her people. whether it's animals plans it is the way of living the right the learn so that you can keep your child so that you can love with it one day so that one day you can tell i am from that community. not far from the museum a group makes its way across the shrub learned this afrikaans call a fine boss it is out in nature that guide can best illustrate this sounds immense knowledge of medicinal plants like become chaos or cancer bush and wild meant. so much to see bono explains how an infusion led from the lives can be used as a remedy to treatment called the flu and

a host of other means. he's proud of the knowledge gathered by his ancestors much of it is now of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry much to see them go and his colleagues have been walking for years to really naturalized than 100 head to site improving conditions for not admitting senior plants like wild garlic and wild cannabis around acquired 2. today not even on the most species legs are bros spring bogs a low paid totally says graze on fields that in the 1990 s. were dominated by whitmore new cultures mountains of deadwood illustrate a novel written naturalisation a shelf in verse of species like the porch a tree brought here from australia are being removed to reclaim the space from it if plans to still take some time before these natural bias here is back in balance

but martin go and his colleagues have already achieved a lot he's misfeature both enviroment is clear use it sustainable or keep it for the next generation is what we want to know and i'll try to watch sustainability and environmental protection this is a message that has been passed on by the sun for generations. on next video in the show comes from the very south over africa let me be up to date 44 percent of namibia's total an area has been set aside for conservation papa says the network consists of state run protected areas for all white life management units communicants services and community forests. wow this is an impressive number sandra as we all know in most african countries it's local communities who hold the key to expanding the impact of conservation so we really important to build up

infrastructure around the wildlife parks that will benefit people living in the area or german i'm even cooperation has recently shown how this can work. he never runs out of things to do and the work can be a bit monotonous but moses neons it was glad to have this job at the ca's eally island lodge he's among the group of local residents who've managed to find work inside what a national park in north eastern. he's been working in the sludge for 2 years. is nothing for. many people looking for a job so when you come they group they knew they needed a new one so when will the. new us they want to live one who proceeded to take that one. the launch is one of 2 in the park belonging to an emmy

b. and company that has long been involved in eco tourism the company was allowed to build in the national park in exchange for employing local residents and sharing profits with the community conservancy tourist numbers are good and the more tourists the more the conservancy benefits the money generated goes towards community projects this year the local conservancy will receive $100000.00 euros that's how namibia is giving people in rural areas an incentive to protect the animals and it's working. there's been a drastic reduction in poaching. recently there was a ceremonial celebration in the park. in the form of the german development minister was in the country to attend the inauguration of a new park station built with german funding. the

namibian government wants to upgrade the park and get even more local residents involved. about 6000 people live in the communities surrounding the park which is situated in the poorest region of the country. fully. built. we should do more. because you will not be able to succeed if you. who live side by side with us they need to benefit.

a year now has 25000 elephants again their numbers have risen significantly in recent years. the elephant herds are a big draw for tourists but locals are often less enthusiastic about seeing the majestic beasts. moses neons o. takes us to his family's home on the edge of the national park. it sits there that's why you put the full plate for 15 minutes and the. offense surrounds each home. as mother knows the destruction wildlife can cause to crops and other property looks like 70 percent of the namibian population she makes her living from farming despite the arid conditions in this region. it's hard work

we only have simple picks no tractors but at least he has a job in the park so he can support us. despite the challenges most neosho in his family now see their animal neighbors as more of a blessing and not just a threat and they're hoping that in the future the park will create even more jobs for local people. time now to wrap up 182nd i dish and all the environmentalists lot of amy chua pick up co-produced by tunnels television in nigeria nice about my journey i mean to be in uganda i was also found out 1st if you are because what do you think sondra in my thing i live the n.t. i'm sure all of us in uganda love because much as i did will be back next week with most solutions and ideas on protecting the environment and it is for me here in kampala.

the movement. to.

read the real talent resides. i come from the loss of people in fact more than a 1000000000 if you give blood launches democracy that's one reason i'm passionate about people and aspirations and a concern. for the mission the book is fried chicken but named after the for the fun and one i remember thinking at the time if the barley in broken hill would anything could happen if people come together and unite for

a call. but i do the news often confronted difficult situations more conflict between disaster i see despite my job to confront good speeches on policies and development to put the spotlight on issues that matter most. to security question marshall nice solution. or not has been achieved so much more needs to be john and i feel people have to be at the heart of solutions my name is on the touchy bottom and i work at g.w. .

the be. is due to every news coming to you live from the it's back to business fall of one disease in london the prime minister suspended it but the supreme court overruled him now lawmakers are ready to question boris johnson on his next move in the big surprises we'll go live to london. coming up democrats in the u.s. congress launch an impeachment inquiry into alleged crimes for president donald trump. no one is a fun.
