time is of the qur'an a pandemic a report. like and she's looking for answers and thankfully with the help to leave. thank you it's not life as we know. together. hello and welcome to the environment magazine co-produced by n.t.v. in uganda channels t.v. nigeria and in germany i am saundra to nobody with me today i always use my co-presenting. take me into how are you today just fine sandra thank you very much and a warm welcome to all of you our viewers out there as always we have

a lot in store for you on today's program so let's take a quick look at what we have coming up on the show today. we'll hear how a national park in the muslim big help thanks to the weather disaster. about an ingenious chemical free weights what i'm most kiddo's. but i'll go beyond it's taking measures to ensure that marines fish stocks remain healthy. first report takes us to tokyo like many places around the world and here you know africa so goes about maybe as i expected to grow dramatically in the coming yes and that raises the question of how to feed me expanding population well some people and organizations already thinking ahead and planting gardens in some rather on the expected places. this is boerma a typical west african vegetable it was grown in

a former dump site like this one like many other african cities togo's capital law may have several illegal landfills but america and his startup found a way to breathe new life into these deteriorated areas and some of them water right now we're at one of the many illegal landfills in the city is the kind of place that we transform into a vegetable garden to develop an organic culture we also recover and used to spaces in the city to transform them into vegetable gardens. by 2050 africa's population will have doubled and more than 80 percent of that growth will occur in cities poor infrastructure and luck of worst management mean many of africa's centers are not equipped to ensure food security for a larger population. was actually right now the rural areas function

as food producers for the city is one of the heaviest has been brought in it nice to be transported from the countryside to the admin areas which will be consumed for this displacement of resources because as a cop on footprints that up and that he wants to avoid by producing directly in the city for the residents there. have been that it is an online platform celebrated by the technology incubate a war lab it had dental files and max illegal landfills or abandoned spaces using digital maps on the web platform they then removed the trash and poor soil before starting to plan for area seeds they 1st analyze the existing earth adding fresh soil if needed so the power. imparted so we take a part of the soil and put it in water and then see the different parts that make up the soil to know what seeds should be planted in this area then we build up the beds so they are a little higher and we create these channels in order to produce small water

reserve was every time we water so that there is a little water retention. l. me read you sonny and his colleagues have already transformed for lamb fields into vegetable garden. homes here we have american. here we have moringa and undersigned we have families as you can see here. and here we are cultivating to me you are wrong there are 2 months. i've been at it likes to involve the community giving the helpless free vegetables in return all paying them a small wage. just a call he is one of the help us who grow veggies in one of these former dams on the outcasts of law many. schools only so. much of

what we eat today no longer has any quality at all because of the pesticides and chemicals or whatever they use. customers can either order vegetables on line or go directly to the nearest garden like mary helen who's become a regular customer she's been enjoying produce from the garden for a few months now. and if any of that hit the level i decided to shop there because these are natural products they did not use for the license that could cause illness and this project is helping the environment because they won't be any more dams here or there or anywhere else so if they continue transforming these spaces that will help everybody else however i want that it will mount. with the wild moving increasingly to the city optimizing the app and space to improve people lives in the prairie to happen that it wants to expand and in the future supply not just individual plants but restaurants to. food security

is just one of a number of ongoing concerns here in africa another is covering infectious diseases like malaria which is transmitted by mosquitoes insect repellents can be helpful but the chemicals they contain aren't exactly healthy that's true but a young man he knew and it has come up with a simple but seemingly effective solution to the problem and it's also eco friendly he is this week's doing that. mosquitoes are tiny but they can spread deadly diseases like malaria. over 90 percent of malaria deaths around the world happen in africa. mosquito nets offer protection but there might be another solution.

electrical engineer julius twine invented a more natural way to ward off the pesky bugs. in africa it's better uganda we have some hard news they have as which helps us mean that they are paid the mosquitoes i appointed have like 5 of them i mix to them i know the shadow to maintain their smear. after collecting the arabs he drives them and crushes them into a powder he puts that powder into his battery powered mosquito. when it's turned on scented air flows out of these tiny holes. twined says that mosquitoes don't like the smell so they avoid the area. it has a range of 15 square meters about the size of an average bedroom in uganda. the

divide. this is powered by a built in solar panel. 3 hours of sun a week isn't enough to keep the battery charged. and how about you. if you are also doing your bit tell us about it. visit our website or send us a tweet. doing your best to. share your story. the fashion industry is driven by trends but in recent years the time between trains keeps getting shorter and shorter these days a lot of clothing sheep are not made to last and suddenly governments cast aside by europeans often find their way here in africa where there saud ought to local markets or even end up in landfills many many countries and only interested in

taking unwanted low i think what is causing the textile industry through why is it business what. this photo shoot is for german retailer she goes online shop the company 1st sold coffee and later branched out to other products and services including renting clothes customers will be able to buy or rent these items it began with clothes for babies and children now the service is available to customers of all ages. for a fee of just a couple of euros a month customers can hold on to items as long as they like clothes that get sent back or cleaned and offer to hire again as a business from getting pieces are particularly popular a red jacket for example unusual colors or cuts things you might not normally buy it. items are rented out an average of 4 times then they tend to look a bit tired people often discard clothes they buy after just

a short time this recycling company processes 70 tons of clothes a day stephon folk to be in any industry for 20 years not really. manufacturers figure articles will only be worn for a year or 2. and consumers will want something new so a lot of clothes aren't made to last. that holds true for half the trousers we see . cheap fabric poor workmanship here clothing is sorted for reuse recycling or destruction a high proportion just end up in the trash. a lot of fabrics contain synthetic materials that are made from or oil and all full of chemicals. then month 100 years ago i jacket made of wall could be cut up or shredded and the material reuse. and nowadays there are all kinds of blends a cotton polyester polyethylene perhaps

a medal and it's really hard to do anything with them devoid of and all of your love all good motives. chemist of the expert on textiles who works with the environmentalist organization greenpeace she's discovered the delights of clothing swap events anything goes it just has to be in good condition i mean we want to see things we'd be happy to give to our best friend and the investment point it. also likes to buy clothes in 2nd hand shops or acquire pre-warn ones on clothes swap websites. chatting on kind i haven't bought anything new to wear for 10 years for ecological reasons the clothing industry has a huge impact on the environment it uses so many chemicals it's a disaster especially in southeast asia it's responsible for up to 11 percent of greenhouse gas emissions so i decided i'm not going to play along with me at mending clothes it's part of the new culture of keeping clothes going for longer.

i would try to pick up the stitch and darn the holes but if the all wanted to be visible she can choose a different color otherwise i would try to make it is in conspicuous as possible one can talk about nothing but you can make it to modern. champions of swapping say you don't have to renounce anything it's like shopping just without a guilty conscience you can enjoy clothes again and find inspiration choose whatever you like because none of this is new no resources have been squandered. second hand is nothing new but more and more people are realising it can be cheap trendy and good for the environment and the internet is boosting the cultural shift with all kinds of sites popping up for swapping renting and buying. next we head towards a week a country extremely vulnerable to the importance of climate change extreme heat

rising sea levels and so people storms a making life difficult especially for people living near the coast but in all these bad news and devastation once again we see evidence that healthy ecosystems play an important part when it comes to restoring balance. the town of boozy lies at the mouth of the pool a river when cyclonic died told through here in march 29th team floodwaters from the entire region flowed into the river. the poem waved best its banks flooding the surrounding countryside houses were washed away including that of farmer philippe whose entire harvest was wiped out to you both found they were starving for the cyclon came i've been making good progress but when it hit it literally threw me back to square one i'm now starting from the bottom again point 0. 0.2. things would have been even worse if it weren't for the goring goes on national

park this unique wetland landscape lies 140 kilometers up river like a sponge the vegetation in the network of streams and rivers there absorbed huge amounts of water dumped by the cycling. mark salmond's the chief ecologist at the park checks the water levels regularly he says even several months after the cycle on the flood waters were still draining out of the landscape and into the poem way river. in fact landscapes can play a tremendously positive buffeting effect very generally kind of attenuate the extremes of weather the extremes of wind and the extremes of water and that's why we need those those big landscapes they also serve as a threat of war. or hosting by the versity they are hosting systems that are effective for their functioning but this natural paradise is under threat on nearby

mt goran goes the residents have cleared huge swathes of forest for farmland forests have a key regulator a function absorbing and releasing water it was clear that if the deforestation continued many of the springs that sustain the wetlands would disappear. so 6 years ago the park administration came up with an idea instead of subsistence farming residents could help restore the forest by planting coffee along with hardwood trees to provide shade for the crops to thrive project managers see and show there's a plantation with 250000 young coffee plants and hardwood saplings. if . there were almost no trees left here at all the whole place was totally exposed to the sun and now with the coffee in the trees we have 2 layers of shade the foam . goring goes the coffee is already

a success story more than $400.00 farmers are now growing the new crop that's nearly half the families in the region the park administration buys up the harvest at a guaranteed price those who are looking for an additional income can help with the processing of the beans. we're seeing that it is possible to produce coffee on mt. the community has embraced the idea that producing coffee replanting trees taking care of the forest and helping the environment. since the start of the project farmers have planted more than $140.00 hector's of coffee and $50000.00 hardwood trees all the trees are native to mozambique the plan is to add another $150.00 hectors next year. if deforestation can be halted or reversed the wetlands of corn goes a national park will be preserved forests protect the park which in turn helps to

protect people living in coastal areas as climate change continues well functioning ecosystems will become more important than ever. over and over again we see that's a lot of devastation results from our failure to keep ecosystems into it and that's the case both on land and sea indeed it is overfishing is causing serious problems on the west coast of africa these days and that's why i set up a marine protection program that aims to stop illegal fishing and devolve more sustainable fishing practices in order to protect the ocean and the fish in the long run. just off the shore of bones capital even of the just cannot come out of his eco guards patrol the coastline for illegal fishing. since 27000 nearly a quarter of ga ponds waters have been named marine protection areas making the

park the biggest protection zone on africa's west coast. the idea to create a marine park came from the need to preserve the fish stocks and to reduce the pressure of fishing particularly industrial fishing. that's why the park was created and from the shore it goes out around 4 kilometers . commercial fishing is strictly prohibited here but he and his men still come across illegal fishing activities every day these fisherman have been caught before they've already been given a warning. when the men go ashore they'll have to report to the authorities that they went fishing illegally. in leaders of the fishing communities the marine parks are viewed with

mixed feelings the fishermen feel they're being pushed out of their fishing grounds alley acking to mentone mabo is the deputy president of gambon's largest fishing co-operative he's come to terms with the new regulations. sure the park has taken over some of the fishing waters. but what many people don't understand is it doesn't mean the fishing business is over it's not over because once the fish that are produced in the park mature they also leave these areas they leave just about. everyone in this community is involved in the fishing business from making the nets to selling the fish and then smoking it so that it can be transported to other parts of the country. a few years ago much of this trade was informal but then the government ordered the registration of the boats and the formation of the cooperatives. the wildlife

conservation society has been working with the cooperatives on behalf of the government the n.g.o.s helps them understand why for instance the mesh in the nets has to be big enough to let small fish through and why it's more sustainable to let the fish grow and reproduce. isn't that the artists know fishing business doesn't produce any bicultural waste everything they catch is kept unused . they produce for the local gap in his market while industrial fishing is mainly export oriented and that's why we want to promote artists in the fishing but it shouldn't be just done in any old way it should be done well. from head to tail every part of the fish is used for the people and gab on fish is a staple food demand is high and the authorities know that even small fisheries are an important part of the economy. was when i was

a lady we believe today is marine resources are tomorrow's gold that's why we have to protect our ecosystems and of course it was a persistent one of the eco guard team does everything it can to watch over the protected areas the hope is that da pounds concerted efforts not only keep the small fisheries in check but also keep the big trawlers at bay. well sent a lot of evidence today that supports a philosophy that often the best solution is to leave things to nature so you're a farmer in kenya whose fields i've been overrun with rodents don't call an exterminator call a conservationist like paul morici he's getting people to set aside their superstitions and wise up to the fact that the alls serve a useful purpose. owns a fascinating and secretive animals but in many parts of africa they are associated with bad luck and that all prosecuted as

a result. conservation is palm release fighting to protect their butts he has been monitoring a small colony of miking those eagle ols in the killer region of central cane you know for years. p.d. days and farming practices here do still threaten these birds of prey but the numbers are slowly beginning to grow. you know i.e.d. i have a specific specific number of this out because i have about 16. and of 16 peers that are breeding p.s. the others i just threw since 8 listing listing past 11 quote any bleeding. the fields of not tarring good jerry and his family are very close to the colony. they also find reach pickings here paul marie the husband shredded local farmers that their bad serve their own interest because alls

eat mice and rats the damage crops moree these efforts seem to be paying off. when you're young elders believe that even own cried and that was something bad will happen but time this has been disproved for me now when you come here and hear old crying i don't believe that it can cause damage or something bad to get you to them or to an idea. this is an african wood all the injured itself and are piling it is being lost but to hold here at rob has admitted meditation trust in the capital nairobi along with many other buyers who have heard in luck encounters . basically our main aim with the trust is to rescue and rehabilitate birds of prey mainly but we also take in water birds basically and a small but also a game where the trust is to get as many birds back to the wild where possible

those birds that cannot be released for whatever reason basically end up as a surrogate parent partner or as an education but. this is no ordinary delivery the airport spasso has been flown in from canyons east cost and hour long plane ride away. inside a lizard a buzz and we don't need injury the body is given an injection to prevent infection. from. this wade 1st scoop all has already been restored to good health along with some other party recovered patients it's waiting to be released back into the wild this is a mixture of. white fur scopes also and african wood elf so the reason there are so many is basically because a large part of the weather has not been so good for releasing we had a long spell of very very dry conditions which means there's actually nothing out

there for these birds to easter releasing them is a pointless pointless exercise at this point. they're mocking the eagle all the difficulties porter against iraqi surroundings conservation is palmer really helps visitors a dainty find them until they were both the creatures lived here he's made it his mission to persuade people that the birds are far from a bad omen but rather a seen 1000 and useful creatures that deserve to be protected. that's all from us this week we hope you enjoyed our reports on environmental topics from africa and europe join us next time for now is bye bye from i just read a couple of territory and goodbye from me in kampala do visit us on all social media platforms or you can drop us a line if you want to share your thoughts or comments we hope to see you once again very soon.
