and it is enormous. the cleaners or sworn to secrecy they are not allowed to talk about their work. and no one asks help me or do it. i think. i need to stop or something won't. do social networks have any social responsibility at all. of the cleaners social media's shadow industry starts to names on t.w. . dumb. a very warm welcome so you could africa vera meant by busy co-produced by charles to be 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 on the low side of the. thank you new york said on to our warm welcome to you all of us i think people are doing this today i am stunned at the nokia from kampala the pier in uganda well here's a quick look at some of the stories we'll be looking up to today. we will show you how random easy i'm going to be standing on to harvest moses by looting off the terraces we will also should move down the jury it is supplying schools and green energy steam that used to be slow and easy to plant how one man in a slum in kenya is breaking up the fall of what took the toes. we start 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 bought because of its belief that its cry signals the coming of summer rain the species can be found in grasslands from kenya and even all the way down to south africa

however humans are driving the bus into decline well it's because of vision is the now pulling on all the stops to save these much loved iconic in the tons. of good. even when fitted with tracking devices i'm also going to be hard to find. lucy kemp going to destroy that she's trying to look at certain ground one bills large could never as bad as found in sub-saharan africa. in hunting have left the species vulnerable it's estimated 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 i'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 the my

buller ground product has worked on developing various techniques and the wild habitat come around mounted on a total port will eventually provide a live stream folklores a monitoring one of the biggest threats is loss of of mysteries it's really got $100.00 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 i love it may come along i 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 further east there's a center of the kid exclusively to wearing something grand on bill's. dance to the next field the judges in the white so the ground one builds 2 eggs but only

raise one cheek abandoning the one that had just seconds. rejected and 100 as them. when this project started many years ago the success rate of handwringing was very low and with time the race has been affected 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. surplus stock that we wouldn't have otherwise and this helps us both the population in areas where they no longer could but he start to. i'm getting these complex and time intensive care must be taken to ensure the balance don't become 10 that's why the team also has another more natural method of raising chicks. has just received an

egg that was found in the wild using a method called completing she determines that the egg is fine tile before placing it in a nest in one of the. so even though our facility is well equipped for handwriting 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 actually incubate 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 birth 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 so conduct education outreach programs across the country. these children have never seen a man. today saying one number sharing some interesting facts about the battles a comic book gives the kids ideas of what they can do to help the god this rare

creature. get quite a number of people. we started with a lot of the young kids in the baby they say. which means you bend and they'll yell 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 hunted to predict would like to collaborate with similar enterprises in the countries. of grasslands and ensure that it never disappears. what amazing. good luck pays off now for this week's it comes from where i come up with ideas. that's right sandra he has

devised a floating. river water fit for human use by tapping 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 in-flow tec could provide a solution it's of water purification system that has a triple filter and can be anchored in a river or a stream. one unit can produce of the 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 it. 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 learn all that they need to learn better future from the schools and build in. v.t. fujis well there is a mention of school not too far from where we are today on the outskirts of legals in lucky to be precise where the children learn some very important lessons about everything including being able energy they see 1st time the advantages of solar power because a school generates its own and that's all. you want to hear it's all down to 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 saw in the power discussions of this nature of giving high priority at this school who want our children to be problem solve most want them to be people able to move and the environment and not do things where you know we school

principal because he is leading by example she runs the abas heart school the private elementary institution not far from lagos the principal has had solar panels installed on the roof of the building. if the firm was such that we have already answered all the left i know each of them retired out by right. in. the plane viewed in. and. 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 at so make it up with our own cars so now the man fees and the school finances so. we have issued the challenge of

financing and we also have a challenge all from getting. mom power you know trained to manpower all understand the setting up of the projects the automation parts of the project and then the maintenance also. the students of land that everyone can do their part to ease the burden on the environment. instead of going for so whose economy use in your book any sources. like sign up i will see your final leaned in a g. and i jus to mention tried our best to save the planet like the car took some games without using the player call my friend he says he only returns for only 2 days the rest of the disuse will upon us i think that was all humans should try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abbotts hard

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 turn off 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 of 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 permanently 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 the new insights with us. nation'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 caught up an entire harvest 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 what the film is if they could team you co-operative 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 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. 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 rwanda has a high percentage of cannick soil and that means even the high mountain slopes can be used pharrell farming 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 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 farm. meanwhile i've 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. back in members of the farm was cooperative. 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 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 finds. finally that 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 for 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 on more and more people are seeking to change that when you do the hard drive yes i mean it's a given point something can be sustainable if you want to see the buying of the love by tim rather than a new product in britain the reason more that he's dedicated to 2nd on the need to be clones budgets or even funds out on the sides lovise just last year the most made 1100000 euros in sales on something many items for ending up in fields 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 of doctrine was skewed and you can find things to bet dollars not that not everybody has something special something unique recycling we like reciting we don't want to buy new clothes new things. i'm just runs the electronics shop like everything that has computers televisions and my friends at our nation's. 3 to. no shopping mall in the swedish town of 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. everyone who comes here they have an object or become here to serve environment and help others to make some money like the rich want to hear and go through the. it won't work with dogs without the.

study or like responsibility. every day brings and you find. this is something my colleague would have a 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. we have a responsibility toward this environment so if. it's not good for my kids my grandsons and the future. the 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 where 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

use once. one of the main focuses in trying to reduce the climate impact is to reduce the level of production. given in things to sort of be really used to like being put into recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels. to produce new things alex return teaches one of the many workshops organized by the more participants learn upcycling techniques and how to use various waste materials they will sell. and 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 than a few hours later in the electronics shop the time nature television is ready to go on sale. tomorrow hopes that the idea behind the retainer shopping

mall will catch on everywhere and cause more problems of 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 have 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 have had a monopoly on the water supply that meant that only the people paid the gang bosses got what or even that was a dubious quality but the efforts of one man wrecking their clout on 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 these 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 she porter all thanks to kennedy or did. growing up in this community it was a tough life of all what was custom was i remember looking to connect. to go and fetch water there you know cutting it on my shoulder having grown up in kibera and experience the effects of unsafe or to face hands kennedy or did they founded the n.-g. o. show of course but he would soon face fierce opposition from the so-called war to cattails idea of water was a good official to me it was

a little bit. of time because people who makes a lot of money because the very powerful powerful men in this community the cartels run their own want to see selling of a prize in an i.g. new quarter my dream was to bring clean affordable water to the community. but mike pipes want to possess. although he was afraid of the cartels kennedy decided to approach monday of one bag then he was a gang member and leader of the water mafia we're talking a little bit over to the public want to pay you he really really small amount of money if you don't note that's how it started and nobody ever touched the water. for monday it was an easy decision to switch sides in 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 said due to the community reaching out to former gang members like mandy 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 one wall is powered 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 ball and then we pump it now to the big time from here the water is then distribute it so these are clean water on a drink of to show you that. is clean. test

good. there are some tests i feel because well treated water. kennedy truly in war does the spirit of the thing what is life he and his employees i helping their beloved community one drop at a time. it is pretty impressive what one month can achieve he's a real hero whether from africa from now with more amazing environmental stories from across africa and europe it is a good buy for me sander to get 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 comments or other feedback you might have so
