how songs compasses of history hard to john. and be done such as songs like that don't go away stay with us for all time. see friend on. the streets february 7th t.w. . a very warm welcome so you could africa big environmental magazine co-produced by charles 2 here in nigeria detail being in germany and t.v. in uganda my name is analogize co-hosting the program from the other side of the

continent even my dear colleagues right alongside to. thank you nia said on the album welcome to you all of us i think you put doing this today i am son to you know deal from compiled a ph d. in uganda well here's a quick look at some of the stories we'll be looking up to today. we will show you holiday monday easy on the exotic and the harvest those is quite good and on the terraces we will also should look down the jury in supplying schools and green thing she's doing using solar energy to plant power one mine in a slum in kenya is a breaking of the fall of what took autos. we started the show in south africa where a very special body is a tree is the southern brown one bill also known locally as the front of bot because of its belief that its cry signals the coming of summer rain the species can be found in grasslands from kenya to angola and if it all the way down to south

africa however humans are driving the bus into decline well its goals of vision is are now pulling out all the stops to save these much loved by clinics in the town's . good. even when fitted with tracking devices some animals can be hard to find but just going to destroy that she's trying to look at sultan ground one bills large can even as bags found in sub-saharan africa. in hunting have left the species vulnerable system it and that their numbers in south africa how fall into under 1500 the population is definitely still declining over the last couple of years we've been developing conservation tools but they've still been in the experimental phase and you know always sort of trying to expand it so it makes a really meaningful difference to the population over the past 20 years then my

bulla grown one bill product has worked on developing various techniques and of the wild habitat. mounted on i told port will eventually provide a live stream for clothes and monitoring one of the biggest threats is loss of of mysteries it's really got 100 square kilometers if they lose they missed it can take up to 20 years before they reflect refined replacement so what we've been doing is putting out these what we call super miss artificial masts and then also we need to actually protect the ministries from elephant impact and the elephant may come along and want to knock the street dumb which means we'd lose the mist but the beehives protect them and keep the elephants away because they really don't want to get stung by the bees. a few hours father east there's a center of the kitten exclusively to reading something grand on bills natasha mitchell dance to the new heart feel the judges in the wild something grown one bill late 2 eggs but only raise one chick abandoning the one that had just seconds

. rejected and 100 as them. when this project started many years ago the success rate of hand-wringing was and with time the race has been perfected and now most of the chicks actually survive and were able to supplement the program i feel that hand-wringing is really important to the conservation of the species because this allows us. 3rd class stock that we wouldn't have otherwise and this helps us both the population in areas where they no longer could but he started he used to. drink is complex and time intensive care must be taken to ensure the balance don't become tame that's why the team also has another more natural method of raising chicks notational has

just received an egg that was found in the wild using a method called company she determines that the egg is fine tile before placing it in a mist in one of the eighty's. so even though our facility is well equipped for hand-wringing we prefer to actually give to our one of our breeding see a mouse such as the one behind me and hopefully she will have been naturally incubated as opposed to trying to artificially incubate the egg and when it had to she can then parent or it which is 1st prize for birds that we would like to release back into the wild which is the actual objective of this thing. is just one step the put it conservationists or someone back to the kitchen outreach programs across the country. these children have never seen them i am going to today to sing one number sharing some interesting facts about the. book gives the kids ideas of

what they can do to help save god this rare creature. get quite a number of people. we started with a lot of the young kids in the baby they say or. bend. and that's what we're trying to educate them while they still young and they love and appreciate the environment appreciate the both as well so when they are older they can teach their own kids having made significant strides in south africa the ground one of the product would like to collaborate with similar enterprises in the country's. grasslands and ensure that it never disappears. what. good luck now for this week's doing it comes from. that's right sandra

has devised. a mix. fit for human use by topping nature's resources this. clean drinking water is hard to come by in many parts of the world. and consuming contaminated water can lead to illness or even death. waiver an innovative product developed by german company inflow tech could provide a solution it's a water purification system that has a triple filter and can be anchored in a river or a stream. one unit can produce up to 2000 liters of safe drinking water a day to clean water can be pumped to a holding tank on land with most of it was a little we made a conscious decision to use only standard parts available across the world with

standard sizes if say a pipe is damaged or missing you'll be able to get a replacement wherever you are including africa just called. the system is powered by the river current and needs little maintenance making it suitable for remote areas without a power supply. waiver currently costs around $15000.00 euros but the company hopes to make it cheaper when it goes into mass production. martin davis is now also working on a version that can be used to purify standing water. and how about you. if you are also doing your bit tell us about. visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your story.

education is key not just in the classroom but also in the field behind me and sometimes people wonder if the students really learned all that they need to learn for a better future from the schools in the build in. v.t. fujis well there is an elementary school not too far from where we are today on the outskirts of lagos in like it to be precise where the children learn some very important lessons about everything including when it will energy they see 1st time the advantages of solar power because a school generates its own and that's all. it is out of what these kids have lots of ideas about what can be done to combat climate change burn fuel for still feel this ride a bicycle you solar power discussions of this nature are giving high priority at this school who want our children to be problem solvers who want them to be people able to move and the environment and not do things where you know we school

principal. is leading by example she runs the abbotts heart school a private elementary institution not far from lagos the principal has had solar panels installed on the roof of the building. firm well such that we have 3 or i don't think you know. each of them retired i couldn't afford to buy right. the. supply and the building. and i agree the iffy the best the conditioning the lights in. the barn i'm without in order classroom. but getting to this point wasn't. a sizable investment will be required but the school was only able to get a bank loan so part of that money. to accelerate it up with our own personal finance the sandoz school of finance there so. we have the issue of

a challenge of financing and we also have a challenge all from get same route mom power you know training to manpower all understand the setting up of the projects the automation parts of the project and then to make demands also. the students of land that everyone can do their parts to ease the burden on the environment. instead of going for some foods you can use in your book any sources. like snuff see are fun and those wind energy and i jus to mention tried our best to save the planet like the tick some things we felt he was in the sr call my friend he says he only rituals for only 2 days the rest of the day suso upon those i think that was all humans should try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abbotts heart

school is dependent on reserve solar energy stored in batteries it then has to limit the use of electricity they will turn down the air conditioning or ton of some of the lights but by generating its own clean energy the school is saving money and producing electricity without producing harmful c o 2 emissions we are way behind in nigeria in. bringing up creative and innovative ideas so protecting our environment from protecting the future of the nation one of the greatest lessons we have to teach our children in this day and age is how to make them ferment a better and safer place the example set by the school is teaching the students the importance of protecting the environment in very practical ways the hope is that they will now share their new insights with us. nature's energy

can be used to help us as we have seen in that nigerian school but its paws can also be destructive and rwanda heavy rains often make farmers lives a misery leading to flooding and erosion streets are submerged villages are cut up an entire harvests are lost and climate change is making things worse now in the north of the country a co-operative is taking measures to reduce the effects of flooding in this hilly country. you know where all the families of the could team up are saved distraught what looks like a lake is actually potato in cornfields everything's under water the harvest is lost and that shouldn't have happened measures had been taken to protect the valley against floods. first of all a project manager from the adaptation fund came to see us this and found that other people came to prepare the construction work and to get an idea of the terrain.

once they were finished with their work we were finally able to plant up the whole of the valley with crops eating. in the they dug drainage ditches everywhere. then the project was over. but not long after they left we realized the problem still wasn't solved the water just came back. the adaptation fund is a united nations initiative that aims to help developing countries cope with climate change. has a high percentage of volcanic soil and that means even the high mountain slopes can be used. the problem is heavy rain washes the soil down into the valley the solution is to build terraces into the slopes following the example of the incas in south america. for we knew about building terraces on the soil on the

slopes just used to get washed into the valley. there was no point in using the newer fertilizer. but now whatever we use stays where it's meant to be so the crops on the terraces are growing faster and we have better harvest. is the cabbage green village it's one of many so-called green villages in rwanda that are helping to promote sustainable development the houses here are designated for victims of the floods each family is given a plot of land to phone. 5 planted potatoes beans and corn on my land. i've also specialized in leafy vegetables. there especially good for the children to ensure they get a balanced diet plus the charred and spinach sell for a particularly good price. the profit. selling his fruit and vegetables

has allowed him to build up a flock of sheep again. he now has a few chickens to. members of the farmers co-operative on. hard at work. anyone capable of holding a shovel is out in the fields doing that bit the hope is that if enough mud can be moved out of the way the water will drain off. the women dig out the big stones and then carry them to one of the many small water channels. the stones are being used to build dams designed to filter the water and prevent further months line. finally dead relief all round as the water starts to drain away. still it's too late to save the harvest and while the situation has been improved and now what the farmers really need is

a more permanent solution. let's get back to you more and more europeans are beginning to question the consumerist lifestyles mosse protest against climate change and in favor of sustainable farming are now common and more and more people are seeking to change their home to the hard drive yes i mean it's even plus some countries sustainable if you can see that buying up a lot i tell him rather than a new product in britain the reason more that he's dedicated to 2nd pond and to be clones budgets or even funds out on to the states lovise just last year at the most maybe $1100000.00 euros and so on to something many items ending up in landfills tickled. welcome to the world's most sustainable shopping mall. and everything on sale is secondhand which means the items are more affordable than

brand new ones almost every article is one of a kind. i love that. the book box which you can find things to but ours not that not everybody has something special something unique recycling we like recycling we don't want to buy new new things. i'm just runs the electronic shop like everything in his computers televisions and make all phones donations. 3 to no shopping mall in the swedish town of a school tonight is located next to a recycling center. people bring unwanted items of all kinds here anything that can be used overhead goes to the mall. or. everyone who comes here they have an object if they come here to save a environment and help others to make some money like the rich want to hear that

through the retail it won't work without this without the use. just on the old like responsibility. every day brings a new find. this is something i would have to look at. in the workshop the team brings defective electronics like this television back to life. of the syrian born shop manager this work is about more than just earning money. where you have a responsibility toward this environment so if. you're poor so it's not good for my grandsons and the future. to reach you know a shopping mall has 14 shops each one specializes in different kinds of 2nd time goods like fun books. sustainability is a major topic here more and more sweets want to know where and how the products they use and consume were made but most consumers have still prefer new products to

used ones. one of the main focuses in trying to reduce the climate impact is to reduce the level of production. get in and things to sort of be really used in the like a rather than being put into a recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels usually to produce new things alex returning i teach is one of the many workshops organized by the more participants learn upcycling techniques and how to use various waste materials they can also learn about production conditions in other countries and how to consume more sustainably. even if we're apart in a consumer culture or. what we consume also makes a huge difference and what impact it has on the environment and he found a few hours later in the electronic shop the donated television is ready to go on sale. tomorrow hopes that the idea behind 3 to no shopping

mall will catch on everywhere and cause problems for the awareness the will you need to know about the work of everyone and as i said i hope that it will. spread all over europe the war and when that happens more and more people will start to appreciate the value in things that had been used before. while choosing sick and hunted goods is a cautious choice in a rich country like sweden. one of africa's biggest informal settlements on the edge of nairobi it is often the only option even getting clean water can be a struggle for years gangs are hard and one locally owned the water supply that meant that only the people paid the gang bosses got water and even that was a dubious quality but the efforts of one man wrecking their clients this precious

resource. oh. this is kibera slum in nairobi pipes with fresh water run through sewer tunnels for a long time residents have been suffering under this and i genie conditions but there is hope now a connection of blue pipes run above the slums shanties they provide residents with clean and hugh porter all thanks to kennedy or did bring up with this community it was a tough life possible what was custom was i remember looking to get asylum which is far to go and fetch water there you know cutting it on my shoulder having grown up in kibera and experience the effects of unsafe water 1st hand kennedy or did they founded the n.g. or show of course that he would soon face fierce opposition from the so-called water cattails. idea of water was a critical to me it was

a little bit dangerous at the same time because people who makes a lot of money because the very powerful powerful men in this community the cartels run their own war to system selling of a prize in an i.g. new quarter my dream was to bring clean affordable water to the community. but like pipes were cut to pieces. although he was afraid of the cartels kennedy decided to approach monday of back then he was a gang member and leader of the water mafia we talked a little bit and then after the public want to play you he really quit a really small amount of money little note that's how it started and nobody ever touched the water. for monday it was an easy decision to switch sides and work for the ngo instead of a cartel but now he's happy with his new job. i feel

very proud. because i'm doing what i see due to the community reaching out to former gang members like mandela who was the key to making this community service work the price of water reduced to one 5th of the former price and the quality is better to ensure the water meets the safety standards kennedy installed a water purifying system is the only one in the kibera slum. the water come from the wall while its power to the ro water tank our side which is 24000 liters comes in to be now to be treated so now the water is no drinking and then we pump it now to the big time from here the water is then distribute it so these are clean water i want to drink if to show you that. it is clean.

test good. there are some tests i feel because well treated water. kennedy truly inboard is the spirit of the saying what is life he and his employees helping their beloved community one drop at a time. it is pretty impressive what one month can achieve he's a real hero well that's all from africa for now with more amazing environmental stories from across africa and europe it is a good bye for me from kampala here in uganda. thank you sandra and goodbye for me to see you next time for more stories on information you can visit our web page and also show media channels drop us a word and please contact us with any comment or other feedback you might have so
