training is enormous. the cleaners or sworn to secrecy they are not allowed to talk about their work. and no one asks how they are doing. and when. i need to stop there is something wrong. do social networks have any social responsibility at all. of the cleaners social media's shadow industry starts to names on t w. a very warm welcome to equal africa day vera meant biography co-produced by charles to you here in nigeria detail being germany and t.v. in uganda my name is and they'll try it with you all of us i think people are doing

this today i am stunned at the nokia from compiler here in uganda well here's a quick look at some of the stories we'll be looking up to today. and we will show you how random easy i'm going to be sounding and harvest those is by putting on the terraces we will also should look on the jury it is supplying schools on green energy steam using still not an easy man to power one man in a slum in kenya ease of breaking up the fall of what to call joe's. we start the show in south africa where a very special body is a tree is the southern brown also known locally as the fund abott 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 body into decline well its goals of vision is are now pulling on all the stops to save these iconic in the time.

even when fitted with tracking devices some i'm also going to be hard to find. lucy kemp going to do through that she's trying to look at sultan ground one bill's large good never as bad as found in sub-saharan africa would be to close 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 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 ground one bill product has worked on the looking with various techniques to resolve the wild habitat i can that i mounted on

a total port will eventually provide a live stream folklores i'm wondering 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 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 to exclusively to wearing something grand one bills. tend to the next to feel the judges in the wild something ground one bill laid to eggs but only raise one cheek abandoning the one that had just taken up the sumptuary. rejected in the 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 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 to the population in areas where they no longer could but he starkly used to. 100 is complex and time intensive care must be taken to ensure the box don't become tame 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 comes in she determines that the egg is fine tile before placing it in a nest in one of the aviaries. 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 being natural incubator 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 2nd act education outreach programs across the country. these children have never seen. today. sharing some interesting facts about the. book gives the kids ideas of what they can do to help save god peace we are creatures we talk at quite a range of people. we started with a lot of the young kids in the baby they say or.

bend 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 father as well so when they're older they can teach their own kids having made significant strides in south africa. predict would like to collaborate with similar enterprises in the countries so they can preserve. grasslands and ensure that it never disappears. what. let's hope the. 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 topping nature's own 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 the clean water can be pumped to a holding tank on land with most of it was i live 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 persian 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 stories. education is key not just in the classroom but also in the field like what's behind me and sometimes people wonder eve the students really learn all that they need to learn for

a better future from the schools in the they can build innovative huge as well there is an elementary school not too far from where we are today on the outskirts of lagos in liking to be precise where the children learn some very important lessons about everything including when a will energy they say 1st time the advantages of solar power because a school generates its own and that's all i. want to hear the sound 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 use solar power discussions of this nature are giving high priority at this school who want our children to be a problem solve must we want them to be people able to look at the environment and not do things they are showing school principal because a lot only one lady 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. the firm was such that we have seen what i don't think for a lot and there are. each of them retired what i thought by right. the. klein reviewed in. an artery the iffy the best the condition in the lights in. the barn without in order to plaster. but getting to this point wasn't. a sizeable investment required but the school was only able to get a bank loan so part of that money. so make it up with our own personal finances and those school finances so. we have the issue the challenge of financing and we also have a challenge off from getting. mom power you know trained to manpower

only 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 sue for music are used in your book any sources. likes to not see your funny lean imagery and i jus to mention tried our best to save the planet like the cuttings from danes we felt he was in the. home my friend he says he only uses rituals for only 2 days the rest of the day suso upon those hours 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 team and a cheat 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 better mentors better and safer place the example set by the school is teaching the students the importance of protecting the environment a very practical way the home is that they will now share their new insights with other. nations 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 off 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. well the families of the could teemu 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 this and found that other people came to prepare the construction we're going to get an idea of the terrain. so. 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 volcanic soil and that means even the highest mountain slopes can be used for arab 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 incomes in south america. for we knew about building terraces in 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 mated for victims of the floods each family is given a plot of land to phone. 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 charge 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 farmers'

co-operative are 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 there is 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. i'm more and more people are seeking to change that will you do the hard drive yes i mean it's even more something country sustainable if you want to see the buying of the land i claim revenue for that in britain the reason more that he's dedicated to sicken on and to beat clones guts it's not even funny and the sides love it just last year the north made $1100000.00 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 limp around new ones almost every article is one of a kind. i love that. the book marked with skin and you can find things to bet

dollars not that not everybody has something special something unique recycling like recycling you don't want to buy new clothes new things. i mean i'm just runs the electronics show. like everything that has computers televisions and my friends at our nation's. 3 tonight shopping mall in the swedish town of a school 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 sell. very vironment and help others to make some money not return here to throw the retail it won't work with all this would all be. 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. we have a responsibility toward this environment so if. you're poor so it's not good for my kids 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 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. 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 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 than a few hours later in. electronic shop the donated television is ready to go on sale . tomorrow hopes that the idea behind the return a shopping mall will catch on everywhere and cause model 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 2nd 100 goods is a cautious choice in a rich country like sweden. one of africa's biggest informal settlements on the gates 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 water and even that was a dubious quality but the efforts of one man wrecking their plots this precious resource. oh.

this is kibera slum in nairobi pipes with fresh water run through sewer tunnels for a long time residents of in 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. growing up in this community it was a tough life of war what doc was was i remember looking to connect with this far to go and fetch water there you know cutting it on my shoulder that having grown up in kibera and experience the effects of unsafe or to face hand kennedy or did they founded the n.-g. o. show of course but he would soon face fierce opposition from the so-called water cattails. idea of water which 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 what's a system selling of a prize in an edgy 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 a little public would have for you he really quit a really small amount of money if it were not that's how it started and nobody ever touched the water. for monday it was an easy decision to switch sides and went 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 wall but all its power to the row water tank our side which is 24000 liters comes in to be now to be treated so now the water is no drinking book and then we pump it now to the big time from here the water is then distribute it so this is our clean water or a drink if to show you that. it is clean. test good. night or sometimes i feel because well treated water. kennedy

truly inboard is the spirit of the thing what is life he and his employees i helping the 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 goodbye from 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 long for the foster balkan lagos nigeria.
