he's turning heads with these aren't the moments. in 60 minutes on d w. coach of the day and. your link to news from africa and the world story link to exceptional stories and discussions from the use of easy and wow with sandy debbie to come snatch the freak out join us on facebook at g.w. for god. hello everyone and welcome to this new edition of eco africa the environment magazine brought to you by channels t.v. here in nigeria and even uganda and germany's door chavela. we're coming to you

from lagos and joining me of course is my colleague sandra to novio and hello there sandra. and hello from company or i one welcome to you our viewers from all across africa and the rest of the globe so glad you joined us for the program once again examples of how to make a wild a little bit cleaner and thereby making it a bit better here's a quick look at a few of this week's reports. in ronda we will learn how communities can live in harmony with the mountain. in senegal we will find out how simple it can be to go full steam kitchen. and in ghana we'll meet a man who calls himself a forest saver. the heart of the tom has a no makes it is a small scale affordable housing project in south african ownerships and its main mission is to replace informal bucket shots with durable structures and what's even

more important recycled construction waste is used to build the homes made the founder and director was already won a number of awards for his innovative business idea and also see how it works. the nerves in the the. littlest greater johnny's bank is home to around 8000000 people many of them believe in densely populated informal settlements alternatives like so we're told just southwest of the city. and then you know. what we have a lot of people who. coming in children's book coming to look for work opportunities so most of them prefer to live in its origins because it's cheaper to live there when you're ready and the critical window for you to there from where i used to go

for work so they've created opportunity for homeowners to try to create a coalition for those people where they're renting structures but that accommodation often consists of simple corrugated metal shacks and rented in backyards which often little privacy or protection from grain and called. ludlow who grew up in a sheet metal shack himself a trained bricklayer he got the idea to replace corrugated shacks with brick structures he even data locked away to make the breaks he uses to keep them affordable and if they are mentally friendly as possible they want to call us like they're walking. out of hearing us are you 70 percent less demand for this actually cut your britain caused by up to 30 percent lead level maxes briggs out of both construction west so he doesn't need to use and that also means the vic's don't have to be fired in a kill with serves on energy because the building blocks are interlocking the

pressure of their own weight is sufficient to make their well strong and stable it's an unusual way to build but it's less of a bargain on the environment than traditional monsoreau. before moving into one of the new brick houses is only a cd or a come economic spent 6 years living in a mental shack now he has a proper home he has to pay more rent for the new house but he thinks it's well worth it. actually our very very very happy because if you're staying in the shack is not like a stinging nettle shake his leg. in a place to be like is a human being actually staying in their room it's how you feel confident when everything next. building rubble is a major environmental problem in parts of johannesburg many companies just dump their ways to legally to avoid paying disposal feels that bordered on too nice

a c.b.s. so much that she founded a startup to recycle the west rather than seed i love in honey but a lot of people do it ways to move over and they collect ways in their collections but then we take responsibility over where the waste ends up the they have visited roads with the waste we compost it we also send it distribute it to organization that make you service. organizations like learned that was house building company had they just started tough compatible trust their construction west provides the basis for global's environmentally friendly bricks one issue still to be resolved is how to process building west and transport each to construction sites. and. we are working out how we can actually call aberrate and here's the rubble as raw material for making bricks and then we need people to separate their waste encrusted with this will. lead to many who come to johannesburg hoping

for a better life and up leaving insufficient housing they'd zacky the people he wants to help and not just by building homes for them he has many more ideas for the future. the plan is to actually train the people that live here obscure them to actually build all sorts of so we can replace all the sharks by their names and also training them to prove their own houses sustainable homes constructed from recycled materials using more in. well frankie meadows i'll forward thinking solution that's been official not just to the environment but the wellbeing of entire communities. rhonda is one of the most densely populated countries in africa even so in the west of the country on the border we have a democratic republic of congo is one of the last remaining breakage is where the.

a foundation is now showing schoolchildren how to resolve the guerrillas hubby talks that may help they feel that people are able to continue to co-exist with the endangered animals it off because when by to see the good enough. ok knows national park in rwanda is home to a very rare animal the mountain gorilla there are fewer than a 1000 left in the wild the spread of disease and habitat loss pose a threat to this endangered species. to help protect the gorillas valerie awkward to sing it teaches children about environmental conservation she's the program director for conservation heritage tour or c h t which is located in the sounds district next to the park. kids have been to morals generation. yes kids is very spread and

message kids can and so we create so we just have chosen to where people kids scorcher into it because they are they can be a board today for their message today rest of the community. rwanda is one of africa's most densely populated countries so these children live close to the gorillas natural habitat most have never seen one. using paper machine masks valerie and her colleagues help bring the gorillas to life they also encourage the kids to draw pictures of the majestic apes. who call and she said if they like to draw the gorillas when they talk about it and the children start acting like beating on their chests. but conservation education is just one pillar in the efforts to save the mountain gorillas another is creating alternative livelihoods

for the local community. this farmer has just received a lamb by donating sheep to local families the conservationists hope to encourage people to stay out of the forest. we're now in day out where you and i if i feel happy about winning a sheep as a farmer it will help me fertilize my field be able to come with you instead of going into into what can i was a national park which is the home of mountain i'm going to i was too quick to do so says found can you be sure it's going to be. going to set to 40 east bacon looking for meat that he was to hop into before but when you give them sheep it's a note to what they have been quite acting from with a mountain of what has had. the most exciting part of the classes is an excursion into of ok. national park there the schoolchildren get an opportunity to see the

mountain gorillas in their natural environment they come out to discover why. i dismount and what he does because they have been watching them and they fear always there or seeing them through visuals we were showing them today so and they have never seen that so seeing them in natural habitat didn't like you wow danielle a cuz so that also expressed them. valerie a poor a just saying and her colleagues have received numerous awards for their efforts. for valerie it's further encouragement to continue her work so that the great apes can be preserved here for generations to come. hey all you coffee drinkers out there did you know that over 2000000000 costs a cool fumed one white every day and much of that comes from the growing africa did you know that the attack well and now i do know santa ana while great coffee is

high in demand drive periods in things all the lack of knowledge and resources leaves in many small coffee farmers struggling to sustain a livelihood the situation is particularly critical in this and i pick up that's why climate academics have been established to teach farmers how to adjust their methods to the conditions of a changing climate here's our report from kamya your group an outdoor training session at the climate to carry me off more diffuse this because it is changing a bit in other words. the disease becomes more people are able to multiply they said to base becomes more people are about to multiply their movement to prove you are being paid to have you taught for them he says. on today's show the correct way to prune coffee trees the aim is to prevent the fungus that causes

the coffee berry disease which destroys the being says. they found was that the climate academy are expected to act as multipliers the idea is that they we pass on their techniques to up to 50 ad the farmers know is there. such a. movement. so there is not. much out cause is a coffee rejoin in south and kenya here a local cooperative or but it's a modern coffee plantation but climate change brings challenges like diseases drought too much rain and this is causing yields to fall climate academy is visiting today and wants to help the farmers i've just their program is funded by the fair trade foundation is just one way the farmers can become more successful again. we have nutrient application. to.

nutrients. because nutrients. despite tips on cultivation many farmers find it difficult to leave just from growing coffee through the climate academy they and michael credits and gain expertise on how to generate more income be that through aquaculture. or beekeeping. he found my gym is now trying his hand at chicken farming. with all my new knowledge learnt at the climate academy i can even sell more than 9 chickens another themselves for less than a 1000 shillings. even when my relatives come to visit me i can take the chickens and use them for food. before that it wasn't possible.

but coffee remains the main source of income in the area they're called but if the process is its members have it and helps marketing it collaborates with the climate academy and follows add green approach to asking this used to be a waste now farmers use it as a cheap again except allies are instead of expensive kim called. recycling and making the most of our existing resources we've got a couple of examples on that on today's program in this week's doing your bit we had to dakar senegal to see how a simple cleverly designed compost turns the mango peels coffee grinds and other household waste into rich fertile soil. most households produce a fair amount of organic waste every day. and that can be used to produce

fertilizer for flower gardens. were not your chin gone couldn't find a composter in senegal's capital dhaka she decided to make her own. her team turn standard metal barrels into simple but effective compositors. holes in the sides and top help to eric the kitchen or garden waste and speed up the composting process they'll also allow earthworms and insects to get inside and help break down the organic matter. a small door cut at the base makes all removal easy . after adding a coat of paint the compost is ready. they can be produced in several sizes over the past year the team made about $200.00 units. as a container the climate in senegal is perfect for composite with the humidity

there's no need to do anything it transforms on its own that's how we came up with the idea. that. any vegetable or fruit scrub can be added as well as bread pasta tea leaves coffee and not on eggshells when mixed together the organic breaks down naturally into a nutrient rich compost. it takes about a month for the garbage to transform into fertilizer which can be used for anything from plants in pots or boxes to pile or orange trees. and how about you. 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. rising sea levels. and could be venture. early lead to

islands being submerged it's a scenario that is already threatening an ecosystem on the coasts of knock western europe the world and sea communities on the offshore islands are seeing increasingly frequent floods and local flora and fauna could freeze dramatic changes are you call reporter paid a visit to an island on the north sea coast of germany. 'd the sheep on the island of form might outnumber the 1100 inhabitants but their grazing helps to maintain the sea dikes and that serves everyone because on average lies a metre below sea level the docks are in fact key to the island survival in times gone by the local population protected themselves from the high waters by building their homes on manmade hillocks known as dwelling mounds. twice a year these 2 men inspect the dykes to make sure everything isn't tact but can these vast structures continue to protect the island as the planet warms and sea

levels rise furby and bush is a coastal defense expert for the northern german state. on the classes and ice dying defenses are still the best solution because they offer as a way to counteract the effects of climate change and our measures for the coming years offer a secure future that means the population of the whole can continue to live and work in safety. lucious responsible for the upkeep of the roughly 8 metre high external dikes that run for almost 30 kilometers right around this island in the wotton sea. but internal tykes also help to protect the island. as do the drainage channels. because it's not only the north sea waters that pose a threat but also those that rain down from above so how do the locals get the water off their island they channel excess water into

a basin by the harbor where the from there it's pumped out into the sea at low tide it's a solid system except during periods of extremely heavy rainfall. increasing rainfall and rising sea levels will be challenges for a pair of on but as a tide marker in the harbor shows the islanders have plenty of experience with tidal surges they've done. battle with the sea on many occasions. nevertheless the local population can no longer rely on the exact same type construction that has served them in the past. zorba state of schleswig-holstein came up with a strategy it's called the climate dike lemonick you are under but cocked it where factoring in climate change and are currently strengthening our dikes in such a way that we can build them as high as 2 meters above sea level rise with. the green area shows what the dikes currently look like. the climate dike slope more

gently towards the sea and a so-called safety cap of an additional 50 centimeters is built on top depending on how high the sea level rises even more height can be added at a later date the whole exercise is very costly but many on per volume share the view that the dikes are the safest form of protection and in the case that the defense has failed to stand up to the sea in the future the islanders are also planning to build emergency accommodation on twirling mounds the same kind of manmade hillocks on which houses used to be built without dying. if in the near future there are moments when the dogs can't hold the water back will seek refuge on the 20 mountains it won't be easy because storm surges tend to happen in the dead of night during heavy rains and strong winds. actually getting to the dwelling mounds wouldn't be a walk in the park but however difficult we still have to make that provision. on the whole the people of perform are calm perhaps because experience has taught

them that land comes and land goes but they're absolutely determined to do everything they can to protect their island. protection and conservation that's also what our next report is about in recent decades gonna have lot of vast tracts of rain forest it's a situation that is worsening climate change. that's right near to one look at eco activists and in tripping you decided to address the problem and reforested a piece of land by practicing sustainable forestry there has helped revive the natural ecosystem has enterprise is not only good for the environment but it has also become a popular destination for the eco tourists. oh. so can i have the ladies come forward this is

a moment when into inviting that you feel he enjoys treats in his visitors to the intoxicating center of the lanky long lost. exam passed around civilians around but . back is going to smell like that for weeks at wellington walking the flower garden with its quite beautiful eyes isn't this very nice to see that there's a very like this in god that. others whether they're here in god or even outside of the country could come to actually enjoy nature. it started 20 years ago when biden planted all his hold in of 210 acres. he founded portal forest estates and initially just sold a good product so. we thought we could enter a crop for food crops and keep it going by. selling those food crops to generate short term revenue except that the community and the workers kept

eating everything even before its was ready to generate more income he and his team had another idea they decided to propagate local plants and extract essential oils in 2018 they added eco tourism jaring every toll visitors served up a typical canyon pish that is made exclusively of local forests produced in wellington by do is also linking up with the local community inventor of he has hired several locals as chefs and told gods who work in his laboratory technician isaac could joe is in charge of producing the essential oils as well as natural cosmetics such as soap. because of put us our natural sources from the forest we tend to have less side effects and then the really how good are very effective treatment for my remark therapy you can really

get the feel of the of the room from the plant and you have no side effects or anything whatever the oils are sold across the country including in the capital across retailers there also provide interested costumers with detailed information about the product. on guided tours visitors hear about the company's mission future plans include sustainable construction projects for their eco tourism business. this is because we want to read. from print and eldar of it took up cost russian a 2 piece. of bread meant by the whole family we want to reduce that and get more of our monthly from. wellington by doing attaches great importance to passing on is knowledge to the next generation. now main focus is. the experiential learning center where we're going to teach people what we have

learned over the last 20 years this is the only way that we come quickly disseminate what we've learnt the cause it's all about training and empowering people to also go out there and do it themselves in that way biden spoke jacks provide an example to local residents showing how day 2 can make a living with some protecting the forests on a while lot of interesting reports with plenty of inspiration for ways to take better care overall climate that's all from it off because this time i hope you're feeling to the show as much as the hot i am sandra to no good signing off from kampala the next time sandra and for you our viewers if you want to find out more about the people on the project who profiles today visit us online and also check out our social media and do be sure to join us again next week for
