so please take care of yourself keep your distance wash your hands if you can stay at home we're d.w. me here for we are working tirelessly to keep you informed on all of our platforms we're all in this together and together and we're making fake names to save everybody and stacey stacey stay safe please stay safe. a very warm welcomes the africa being damaged by a busy co-produced by charles to be here nigeria detail being germany and t.v. in uganda my name is nell to i co-hosting the program from the other side of the

continent even my dear colleagues from the ilo so i'm good. thank you near the aga our warm welcome to you all of us i think you put to you this today i am son to you know hear from kampala here in uganda well here's a quick look at some of the stories we'll be looking out today. we will show you hala brandon ease up with christianity and the harvest moses by building off the terraces we will also see in the palm the jury it is supplying schools on clean energy steam using still an easy plant how one man in a slum in kenya these are 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 solvent grown from the it also known locally as the fund of bought 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 even all the way down to south

africa however humans are driving the bus into decline well it's because the vision is and now pulling on all the stops to save these iconic in public sounds. good good good. even when fitted with tracking devices some amorphous can be hard to find. lucy kemp going to destroy that she's trying to look at sultan ground 100 bills lige good neighbor as bad as found in sub-saharan africa. in hunting have left this species vulnerable he says to meet and 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

bullah ground 100 product has worked on developing various techniques. of the wild habitat i come around mounted on i told paul we live in italy provide a live stream folklores a monitoring 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 a replacement so what we've been doing is putting out these what we call super miss artificial mists 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 bee hives 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 that they came to exclusively through reading soap and ground one bill's. dance to the next field the judges in the wild southern ground one of the eggs

but only raise one cheek abandoning the one that had just seconds. to collect the rejected heart and 100 as them. when this project started many years ago the success rate of handwringing was very low and with time the recipe has been perfected and now most of the chicks actually survive and were able to supplement the program as and this helps as both the population in areas where they no longer could but he starkly used to. bring is complex and time intensive care must be taken to ensure the babson don't become tame that's why the team also has another more natural reason she. has just received an egg that was found in the wild using a method called kundalini she determines that the biggest fire tile before placing it in a nest in one of the. so

even though our facility is well equipped for hand-wringing we prefer to actually give it 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 2nd act education outreach programs across the country. these children have never seen a man. today. sharing some interesting fact about the. book gives the kids ideas on what they can do to help save god this rare creature we talk at quite a number of people. we started with a lot of the young kids in the baby they say or. me which means you

bend tree while he's still young and that's what we're trying to educate them while they still young and they love and appreciate the environment appreciate the father both as well so when they're older they can teach their own kids. having made significant strides in south africa the mobile a ground hunted to predict would like to collaborate with similar enterprises in the countries so they too can preserve this icon of grasslands and ensure that it never disappear as. what amazing but let's hope the course of action it's good luck pays off now but this week's doing good be it comes from germany where i and mine has come up with a clever idea. that's right sandra has devised a floating pump makes a 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 of 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 that's 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 if the students really learned all that they need to learn for a better future from the schools and they can build innovative huge as well there

was 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 it 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 sounds 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 of giving high priority at the school who want our children to problem solve must want them to be people able to move and the environment and not do things they are showing school principal because a lot only one is leading by example she runs the abbotts heart school the 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 i know. each of them retired what i felt by right. the. client reviewed in. and i agree the iffy the best the conditioning the lights in. the barn and of which house in order to plaster. but getting to this point wasn't. 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 chris so now the nancy sanders school of finance this so. we have issued a challenge of financing and we also have a challenge all from getting to manpower you know training to manpower

all understand the setting up of the projects the automation parts of the project and then to make demands also. the students of land that everyone can do their parts to ease the burden on the environment. instead of going in for so whose economy news 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 gains we felt he was in the plan says that while my friend he says he only rich was only 2 days the rest of the days useful up on those i think that was all humans should try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abas 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 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 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 the 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 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 all the families 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 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 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 intense 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 found. planted potatoes beans and corn on my land. i've also specialized in leaf vegetables. there are 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 their 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 lives. finally there's 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 in proof 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 heavy consumerist lifestyles mosse protest against

climate change and in favor of sustainable farming combine i'm more and more people are seeking to change that will you do the hard drive yes i mean it's a even more something country sustainable if you want to see the buying of the land i came rather than the new product in britain the reason more that he's dedicated to 2nd on the need to be clones such it's not even funny and the sides love it just last year the most made $1100000.00 euros in filth and so many items for ending up in fields tickling. 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

that are not that not everybody has something special something unique freecycling like reciting you don't want to buy new new things. i mean i'm just runs the electronic shop like everything in his computers televisions and my pal friends at our nation's. 3 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 with all this without the use. just on the old like responsibility. every day brings a new find. something like look out. in

the workshop the team brings defective electronics like this television back to life. with the syrian born shop manager his 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 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 in the like of rather than being put into a recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels your family 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 electronics shop the donated television is ready to go on sale. hopes that the idea behind 3 to no shopping mall will catch on everywhere. the awareness the will you need to know.

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 next wetton. 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 water and 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 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 port are all thanks to kennedy or did run up to this community it was a tough life of war what was custom was i remember looking too good. to go and fetch water there you know cutting it on my shoulder having grown up in kibera and experience the effects of on say 4th or 5th hand kennedy or dead or founded the n.g. or show of course but he would soon face fierce opposition from the so-called water cattails. idea of water was a beautiful to me it was a little bit dangerous at the same time because young 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 a gini quarter my dream was to bring clean affordable water to the community. but like pipes was cut to pieces. although he was afraid of the cartels kennedy decided to approach monday of bag then he was a gang member and leader of the water mafia we talked a little bit over to the public want to play you he really quit a really small amount of money or not that's how it started and nobody's 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 say due to the community reaching

out to former gang members like mandela 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 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 if the show you that. is clean. test good. there are some tests i feel because well treated water. kennedy

truly inboard is the spirit of the saying 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 well that's all from africa for now with more amazing environmental stories from across africa and europe it is a good bye for 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 comments or other feedback you might have so long from the foster balkan lagos nigeria.
