worlds with close economic ties europe and asia. how they deal with social justice. and what are working conditions like. we visit 8 countries on 2 continents to find out how europe and asia work together in our series work places. a beacon of hope in the ocean a sea weed farm and our own side the end indonesian capital jakarta could this be the solution to global problems. nori more you'll know definitely think so she's carrying out research into how seaweed can keep the city's clean. her home. country is the world's 2nd largest plastic

polluter after china indonesia processes more than $16000000.00 tons of plastic waste every year over $3000000.00 tons of it and up in the ocean the government has pledged to reduce this by 70 percent by 2025 it's known bishes plan traditional race disposal methods can't keep up that's why indonesia backs pioneering ideas like the one mile yano is proposing she makes packaging out of seaweed. how can we solve it if we do not have something to replace this plastic because of course we cannot go back to. our and him though or live without plastic as a getting so we have to think about this in fact i'm in the early friendly but getting her main advantage is that indonesia is one of the world's biggest producers of seaweed most buyers are other countries in asia where people have been eating the marine plant for millennia.

in europe production is still on a much smaller scale but here to see weed is being touted as a material with a bright future a sector that has a lot of potential seaweed grows quickly doesn't take up fertile land and can be used in a wide range of applications there are more than $72000.00 species of algae worldwide the largest over 60 metres and ranks algae based ingredients are already used in many foods for example as binding agents 2 different types of brown algae are now being grown commercially in norway up to $100.00 tonnes of them a year the farm in for ya is one of the biggest in europe as the global population rises a new food trends quot fashionable seaweed is appearing more frequently on european plates seaweed cultivation has grown quickly in the past 10 years 1st and foremost and. france and ireland but spain and of course norway are also exploring the

options. it is a growing market we work a lot on like establishing this market because. it is still quite new to the european population. that of course we have a lot of influence from the asian cuisine europeans are more and more like 3 earlier with the with now generally in europe and. people are more concerned about where their food comes from people are interested in local traceable thurgood but it presents most of the sea we even in europe is still imported from pain. and they are. still one step ahead this she made from red algae the result of 10 years hard work is her pride and joy she discovered that one species produces

a special polymer the mix products made from a very pliable the forno has a show fly for up to 2 years and even dissolves in hot water that's especially practical for popular products in indonesia mike instant coffee over 200 companies worldwide are toasting the foil and you don't have to eat it to get rid of it. everywhere on the garden and it will be fabulous and for plants are just this. there and if they will not. buy the street. and only finding uses in the food packaging centers but also with the cosmetics and textile industries in the future they could even be used as a source of fuel. the team at seaweed energy solutions is also interested in the many different qualities

of seaweed algae seedlings are cultivated all year round and the company's laboratories in tom time here tests are carried out on different types of algae that might be good to cultivate and the future. the company also works with universities to find possible environmental uses for seaweed and on lark it's full potential it has several benefits of further for them and weren't very cultivated capture c o 2. big advantage and we also see that around north sea farm there are a lot of fish so it's kind of when there are 3 for like. fish and the other and wealth in this tribe in the forest. increases the wildlife. a budding new industry in europe. there were around

200000 seaweed farmers and indonesia often whole families get involved the women tie the seedlings to the lines and take care of the finances the men are responsible for the cultivation and harvest for her products normal you'll know works together with 2000 families she also helps them with the business side of things and works without middlemen this means she can pay better wages. the most important things step. price need to base unit in this is about. this they are living in they are so they have no access fulfilling their basic needs so some of them also have to fix them of human trafficking so i think it's very very. involved and. help them to improve life and put. one of the farmers who supply a small yone who is obtuse you carter who call to bates and on 300 lines and punk

in the past he had to keep his head above water with badly paid work sometimes as a fisherman sometimes as a sailor now he can afford to concentrate on seaweed farming alone his take home pay is up to. 6 times higher now. than i did then yeah he said it seemed funny is full of promise that we hope it will enable us to pay for the best possible education for our children. but if i doubt it's much more profitable than working as a fisherman specializing in. it. we hope that see we will always florida share and that we can maintain its quality. nori my your no hope so too at any rate she already needs another 1000 suppliers and 2020 farmers like. after all the demand for her plastic free packaging is they are primarily from food and cosmetics distributors she needs to ramp up production from $100.00 to $8000.00

units per day using a raw material with massive future potential. this week we meet up with a global teen from nairobi kenya. i live in kenya. says. as for now we went to our.

i like going to school because it's fun and you have new friends you land to help you so that if you have run in the admin tempus and into future. i hope sees to have their needs by providing for them shelter clothes and they have basic needs. i have i let christian song breath to see that's a new and i'm free. when mad mad that ted was so.

i'm afraid of high i.q. for example if i'm standing and tell you need i can't look down because i'm afraid i thought. i would like to. make talent and the last thing in so much. i feel i can think but i don't be listening to katy end every gives i had enough be these life you had to do this job on in that do that because then that. in the early 20th century africa was home to an estimated 10000000 or more elephants. 100 years later poaching and habitat loss have caused their numbers to drop to no more than 400000

that's a decline of more than 95 percent. in botswana however there are too many elephants thanks to strict conservation measures the elephant population there has increased rapidly in recent years. among the star attractions in chhobi national park other many elephants antelopes. and hippos roaming free. botswana has the world's highest elephant population somewhere between 13160000. tourists flock to model that. they are tobacco money has been coming here with her husband for many years. but comes with this time especially. no because my family are here to my niece and my 2 grandchildren we really wanted to show them the africa we know and love where you can be among all these animals and so close to

them on that's not anything. that's how tourists experience the elephants. and this is how local people experience them. park ranger horsey myra is out on patrol. with him. making her. suddenly another elephant appears between the houses in the town of cassani at the edge of the park. he tells us they can injure people attack them. especially if they're with their young. lives or what. elephants wonder through residential areas and fams this often leads to conflict between humans and animals. danielle just when you saw

jeremiah says he always keeps a gun loaded he has a farm outside. i'm sure the elephant the last. 28 days. it was in the field here. during the day i dared to skate if used then was the o.r. and i said i did now ok and i live and there is no it's not nice it's not that nice to kill it but there for the sake of self-defense. is that kills me or is war when is all we shoot. it's a fight for survival jeremiah says the elephants are always on his heels destroying his crops. the was there calm there every day to day that can get to this peace linda nice to come again and continue until the whole field is done.

elephants have trampled his fences including the electric ones. and jeremiah doesn't have the money to repair them. the moment of my life is being the color they did they didn't buy elephants what i mean is they're making people poor they're making people poor. no i'm poor. my feeling is. i think conning should be done what i feel about all of it does that to many the need to be reduced. the government hasn't organized any call's controversially last year lifted a ban on elephant hunting that had been imposed 5 years earlier but now permits the killing of 420 year promising a field day for sports hunters the government says the hunting should be allowed

specifically in areas where elephants human conflicts are most common or what elephants we have learnt time about elephants is that when the north is danger they will not go to those areas and we use this controlled hunting to achieve that not to use numbers but to create better. so that people can continue about life in the woods i mean. it's been estimated that the elephant population will continue to grow significantly even if $400.00 a kill each year. trophy hunting is widely despised in europe for example but can it actually fulfill a useful function. some conservationists think it can. the impact will be positive because botswana is absolutely committed to having any resources that it gets from sport to go to the communities.

robots want to live with 150000 elephants and they have not been receiving any benefits whatsoever so a couple of animals that are sport hunted can go a very long way to mitigate the kind of negative impacts including the loss of human life that rural botswanans are facing on a daily basis. man a fish was trampled to death last year while on his way home in cousin a. his sister dorcas sums up the findings of the police investigation. he'd say to a man back. so he ran down. and. so they pulled him she tells us they used to be fewer elephants in the area and they were less aggressive. independent

there with just come and you'd present elephant just fit in there sometimes without even seeing it but now why does the actually change without even a person provoking them anyhow she says the aggression may well mean the elephants are feeling stressed the question remains if the elephant population continues to rise and the human population grows as well i'm happy encounters will probably continue to occur and a sustainable solution will still need to be found. and in our global ideas series we head to the pacific ocean it's home to many species of sea turtle our reporter clare richardson went to the art of an island part of the solomon islands north of australia she met some activists who are working to protect the turtles from.

the solomon islands look like power dice on us the region hair in the south pacific is home to rich merryman biodiversity. but it's a challenging environment for the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtles that nest here. female tuttle's lay roughly $1000.00 eggs each season. only one in a 1000 will make it to adult hood. that chances are made by hunting and their legal trading. research estimate that some $10000.00 turtles are harvested each year. that's pushed hawksbill sea turtles to the brink of extinction. but for the creatures who make it to this particular beach that's home.

these women are on a mission to save the tassels in 2016 they formed a group which brings together communities from 3 islands to protect the tools from hunting. the fearful many think they have different powerful background so having to give also. have the opportunity for them to embrace it and put the project they promised to give that uniting them together for conservation. there on my way to the owner from a spectacular group of islands that's one of the largest breeding grounds in the south pacific for the hawksbill sea title. the on evidence of assigned to the marine protected area the fast ever national park in the solomon islands and a sanctuary for the tuttles. today the team looking to catch them for time and release known locally as tuttle going to go. on

a falcon watch. the 1st attempt is a mess. so it's on to the next location to try again i just don't know though. and it was going to the. second time lucky. a call to a female green tuttle a different species. she's strong enough to dislocate a person's arm. and. once on board she's measured and had to tell so record it were not. for work mind. you know the outcome of this next half it has attacked with unique numbers to help rangers identify her in the future you have to reach and then vote for the. this

green turtle has scars from an attack by a crocodile. that common in these waters. well the old. it's growing once the coast is clear she's on her way again. right. tools also face dangers on shore rocks have discovered this not just now ranges must move the surviving eggs so the smell doesn't attract more predators . it's all pays off when the baby turtles of ready to catch. the women of koach he helped build tuttle highways in the sun leading from the nests to the ocean. as the hunting start that journey towards the sea the women try to keep them on track. they stand guard against

natural predators and purchase. tools are often cotton illegally sold to buyers overseas teletoon is also an important traditional food in the solomon islands and it's been hunted for centuries while the practice is still legal outside to preserve the women of koach ia trying to change local attitudes. to me i am a sort of i guess so. i would say that i go there comes right and then. my face very pretty and i was that the really keynes my like my thinking when you actually see them coming out from their holes and driving making their way there and then are you afraid that day and then out you go off and the fact that they are waiting for them out of iraq of ever be like and then i was like oh i really doll. and cry is my family though my community. how do you think that those. she's just

one example of how come back east message is resonating across the solomon islands several women have fought the fight to save tattles back to their villages to teach office the only language live in the epicurean has started her own offshoot of koach e in her village she uses weatherproof charts on i didn't square electricity isn't available to show local communities how they can help. us of our generation for tomorrow. where is the them but then look how that saw him have to look after our state but. it takes 30 years for titles to reach sexual maturity after nesting they travel thousands of kilometers back to the great barrier reef in australia saying this incredible journey helps the women understand the important role they play in conservation we have been for a very important because we have a course to be an if we have a one who will look after the family we faded to rain and also we do appropriate

things then what their way is happening in a community so it is very important that we women truth understand what is happening in that environment. there are now twice as many tuttle nests in the on of ns as the before the marine park was established 25 years ago. but more needs to be done to save the species i think that if everybody's operating like to get that then we have i have high hopes for that that the had to do have a survey to see then yeah ok. he is hoping to get more women involved in educating and uniting communities to make sure the solomon islands are a safer place for turtles today and in the future. that's
