we are working tirelessly to keep you informed on all of our platforms and we're all in this to get on together and we'll make it through to. do you see everyone stacey stay safe stay safe the priest is facing. the. a very warm welcome so you could africa big environment biography co-produced by charles to be here in nigeria detail being 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 all of us i think people are doing this today i am somebody nokia

from kampala here in uganda well here's a pic of us and some of the stories we'll be looking up to today. we will show you how random easy i'm going to be slanted and obvious to those of a good and honest sources we will also see who counted syria is supplying schools and green energy state using solar energy to plant how one man in a slum in kenya is a breaking up the fall of what to call toes. we start the show in south africa where a very special body is a tree is the solvent grown one bit also known locally as the front of bot because of its belief that its cry signals the coming of summer rain this 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 it goes the vision is a not pulling out all the stops to save these clinics incompetent. good

good 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 to mitten 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 the my buller grown one bill product has worked on developing various techniques and preserve the wild habitat a camera mounted on

a total portal will eventually provide a live stream folklores a monitoring one of the biggest threats is loss of ministries 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 elephant might 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 further east there's a center of the kitchen exclusively to reading something grand on bills. dance to the next field the judges in the wild southern ground one of the late eggs but only raise one cheek abandoning the one that had just seconds on the sumptuary. rejected in 100 hours 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 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 bats 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 nest in one of the. so

even though of the city 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 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 conservationist or 2nd act in the kitchen outreach programs across the country. these children have never seen a man. today dissing sharing some interesting facts about the but. gives the kids ideas of what they can do to help save god these rare creatures we get 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 thought. so when they are older they can teach their own kids having made significant strides in south africa the ground 100 predict would like to collaborate with similar enterprises in other countries. grasslands and ensure that it never disappears. what. good walk. it comes from. that's right sandra has devised a floating. 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 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 was give it 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. 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 person 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 if the students really learned all that they need to learn for

a better future from the schools in the can build innovative huge as well there was a mention of school not too far from where we are today on the outskirts of lagos in lucky to be precise where the children learn some very important lessons about everything including being able energy they say 1st time the advantages of solar power because a school generates its own that's all. lovey it is down to what these kids have lots of ideas about what can be done to combat climate change burn fuel for still feels ride a bicycle use solar power discussions of this nature are giving high priority at the school who want our children to problem solve most want them to be people able to move and the environment and not do things the whole way school principal because a lot 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 done that for a lot on our. each of them retired what i felt by right. the. client reviewed in. an archery the iffy the best the conditioning the lights in. the barn and without in order classroom. but getting to this point was. a sizable investment 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 custom now fiancee sandoz school finances so. we have no issue but challenge of financing and we also have a challenge of getting. mom power you know trained to manage our

own will understand the setting up of the project the automation parts of the project and then the maintenance also. the students of land that everyone can do their parts to ease the burden on the environment. instead of going in for sue for music and music in your book and sources. like. snuff on leaned imagery and i jus to mention tried our best to save the planet like the tick some danes we felt he was in the. choir my friend he says he only returns for only 2 days the rest of the days whoso upon those i think i was only a few months to try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abbotts heart school is dependent on reserve so the energy is stored in batteries it then has to

limit the use of electricity turned 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 time protecting the future of the mission one of the greatest lessons we have to teach our children in this day and age is how to make them them into 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 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 him a country. you know how all the families of the could teemu co-op percival 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. 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 1st salvo 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 encodes and south america. 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 farm. 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 chard and spinach sell for a particularly good price for the profit that i was. selling his fruits 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 are now common and more and more people are seeking to change that when you do the hard drive yes i mean it's a even consumption country sustainable if you want to see the buying of the land i claim rather than a new product in britain the reason i'm more that he's dedicated to 2nd hand until the clones got it's not even funny telling and the sides love it just last year the north made $1100000.00 euros in filth and so many items ending up in mt felix tickle that. 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 kind of a book whiskey and you can find things to bet dollars not that not everybody

has something special something unique recycling we like reciting you don't want to buy new clothes new things. i mean i'm just runs the electronics shop like everything his computers televisions and my pal phones donations. to the re to now 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 save a environment and help others to make some money like the rich want to hear the trendy 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 up. 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 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 ones. one of the main focuses in trying to reduce the climate impact is to

reduce the level of production i thought getting things to sort of be really used in the like rather than being put into recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels here for me 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 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 because of the word 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 hand 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 run up to this community it was a tough life possible what was custom was i remember walking to class land 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 dead or founded the n.g. or show of coal but he would soon face fierce opposition from the so-called water cattails. idea of water was a little bit of pressure 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 want to sister 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 over to the 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 work for the in geo instead of the cartel but now he's happy with his new job. i feel but it's probably. because i'm doing what i see 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 while it's 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 and then we pump it now to the bigger tank 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. tested good. yet 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 sunday to no good 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 long from the fossil balkan lagos nigeria.
