i guess the word for roger donald trump and funding your were 2 part documentary analyzes the difficult relationship between russia and the us and between their presidents how does their little reach and their dangerous mutual admiration affect the rest of the moral prism bullies trump and putin starts august 3rd on d w. when people hear the word bad they usually think of money but today we want to talk about a different kind of back one for things like being bananas and barley here what's being stored and saved are seeds the right cheese adapted to the changing climate welcome to this new edition of africa i'm never tideway and i'm not alone sounded

to be in uganda is with me what can you tell us about seed branch sandra it is a nice to see you too near to well i know that in western uganda farmers helped him up with this bank to enable them to grow healthy and nutritional crops for their communities more on that in a moment but 1st a look at what else is in the program. took a look at the plant even the other generates electricity one eliminating west and we will also hear help cover by road traffic a little greener in kenya's capital nairobi. we started the program right here in uganda around 10 years ago jane with just a few other farmers used a few bags of beans and a button a seed start up capital to set up the community see it back on to the course of tas proved fruitful yields in the region's green harvest huggies an up by 50 percent and

a big fuck to meet success is that the initiative banks sharing anyone wanting to use the seeds has given some training to. join is explaining how to catch banana weevils. she's giving a training session to women farmers in western uganda. here she demonstrates another method put parts of a dead banana tree stump in front of the tree you're trying to protect and the weevils will be drawn to that instead. because it did destroy. the spring. so it was my organism.

i was invited to. join has been trained by the organisation alliance biodiversity the n.g.o.s supports food security projects with evidence based research especially for crops like bananas and beans some traditional bean varieties can no longer grow here the farmers say it's because of climate change. the ngo has helped them to set up their own cooperative and develop a seed bank which now has more than 60 varieties of beam in stock. from here the. farm he. has. to have he or she has. the national seed bank of uganda provided the initial investment of seeds scientists made them available to the ngo. the researchers have given the

farmers improved seeds have been varieties. the cross-breeding to create these new strands can take several years as scientists gloria tino explains it's defined. means maybe the. readers can access those materials and improve on them. or even so those traditional hold. traits. that we need for. the national seed bank estimates that every year uganda is losing around 10 percent of its biodiversity in plants that are important for agriculture and nutrition like being peanuts and wild rice. so if it is very year should we be killed those crops.

would have nothing because we want to be able to use vegemite to use to engage in the challenges that you have in the production systems a country which is going to look after these resources is use a country that is in trouble for the future for joining has in the meantime set up her own seed bank for 4 years she's been setting aside part of her harvest for seeds she's employed a number of women to help with the seed selection process she not only pays them but also passes on her being growing knowledge they get money from this community. and from this community. each other. as. the idea of starting up community seed banks is catching on join with has also found interested listeners in the neighboring district of shima a total of 8 cooperatives in uganda have now joined the initiative. while small

adjustments got off to bring about big changes but sometimes it really does take massive investment if it be a has just spent a 1000000 sitting up apostasia an odd 8 capital cautious dump site that is using the west there to generate power the garbage is incinerated to heat water and produce steam which drives. the plant now supplies a quarter of the city's households with electricity sounds like 2 problems solved at once. these mounds of trash valuable the reuse to produce energy for disabled. this incineration plant called repeat is the 1st of its kind in africa it produces electricity for capital city. every day at around 2000 tons of garbage delivered here 2 thirds of that is burned

. first the waste is stored at the bunker for 5 days to release moisture then it is burned at a temperature between $8850.00 degrees celsius. khamis seem to give women who has been working here since the opening of the plant . that rushed in. and. after that. he 3 will be hit so what are the other will create a stamp that this team. that i want to cut away generates electricity. the filters of the incinerators are made to e.u. standards so that is little pollution as possible leaks into the air. that makes it

more eco friendly then open burning off waste on landfills which is still common in african countries the plant was built on parts of the former kosher dump site at the outskirts of the city. that are rector elim a year who says that cautious for about 50 years to discard the waste of this. his administration has transformed the dump site into a manageable landfill if this keeps away fires in better order through a streetman and guess venting there are a number of course this is never acceptable this was to analogy because they are not a valid source out of the us was just which cannot be better and which plan this facility will be disposed on the land. the repeat incineration plant was constructed and funded by an international consortium and the ethiopian government it provides electricity to around 25 percent of households in

a the suburb. that is. local party 25 may go but it is contributing for. cleaning. it is contributing for. them so it will. be for. cleaning the seed. of course called fired plants or gas facilities more efficient in making electricity then this incineration plant. but this waste energy system is not only generating electricity it is also saving land space preventing the release of toxic chemicals into groundwater and reducing the release of new thing into that most fear. knife that looks pretty impressive but unfortunately not all countries here in africa have the means to do things like that but that

doesn't mean they're not other creative ideas for processing. indeed sandra for instance in gaza one innovator is transforming plastic waste into a level like material to produce a fashionable footwear here's this week's doing your bit. fancy a pair of these flick looking sandals they're another step forward in the fight for the environment mccaffrey came up with an idea to transform plastic waste into a leather like material he wanted cleaner streets in ghana's capital and got going with start up help from the world bank he has a team collecting plastic and akram. residents can collect cash for bringing him the material themselves. we created a. process around the whole thing and we wanted to engage people

so we encourage home offices and individuals to separate the waste and i grieve for a while then they bring it to us we will. the plastic is threaded heated up pranced into a sheet of. the new material is easy to work with. carefully cut the pattern for sandals and takes the pieces to somebody who sells them together. for now the orders have been filled from home. thus the end of a serious hoping to see his shoes in the shops soon. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. after doing your bit. we share your stories. nigeria has

a many rivers lakes and. along the coastline but. being devastated by boston mounds of plastic waste it is destroying habitats and killing animals and equipment to something urgently needs to be done and they are people who are rising to the challenge eco probably one of those it's a non-governmental in lagos that is committed to climbing plastic from the ocean on the shores. with its impressive skyline and expensive yachts going on in lagos is a picture of long serene and shot but only at 1st glance a closer look reveals the dockers sights the lagoon is a cesspool of plastic waste a group of environmental activists called eco pro is fighting against it they've been collecting trash here since 2019 to protect the environment and the people who live here because you know. we are looking at how we can.

look at. the end of the street with the flooding of. the activists once a week so clean up the lagoon it's estimated that $12000.00 metric tons of waste on t.v. every day b n g o work has paid to rent the boats with no money for the owners give them a lower rate to help out but on the boards cost about $30000.00 well because we sort of relationship with the. give us some discounts why the big boards 1000 naira because all the relationships that we have with them. also receives help from a private waste disposal company which claims waste from bill and for free. plastic is a recyclable material but much of it still ends up in landfill recycling exist here

but it's written entry is really just a dump site. we have because who go to the dump site and they then individually take out the things which have to have a lot of value i mean we were literally throwing away money. to put them out take them they sell them off to the different people who are doing the recycling. up to 100 workers help with the clean ups on a regular basis. the activists want to post more public awareness about the environment to help change people's behavior if only people can imbibe of culture where by your drinking you plan your bagging trash and money that way you can find the trust fund. perl has also started to collect the garbage on beaches sometimes to able to recruit extra volunteers spontaneously. and about just about. well it's almost on so i could. be that my 5

smaller one because someone doesn't like me so. an estimated $450000.00 metric tons of trash are dropped in the lagoon and on the beaches every year. the activists hope the government in lagos will step in soon to do more than it's doing now and that way the will see it will be cleared every day. albatross mongul largest seabirds and they are one of the most threatened families of birds on earth albatrosses feed on squids fish and kriol so it's not surprising that the trucks it's a large fishing vessels that troll the oceans and while maybe too good to resist the boats are actually more of a curse and a blessing so these majestic creatures exodus out.

with a wind span of up to 3 and a half meters the wondering albatross may be the most majestic sea bird in the southern hemisphere and one of its most endangered species. on the french causeway islands an archipelago in the southern ocean. his team equipped the birds with transmittance since last autumn they've been tracking the flight of the albatross is why miss cage has been fascinated with the sea birds ever since she was a boy. albatross is flights of 70 to 80 kilometers an hour over stormy seas without flapping their wings they use the winds to get around but it's true there is something majestic confronts hostage about the flight of the albatross when you go to the sea every owner followed just dreams of catching a glimpse of one. such encounters are increasingly rare because the number of

wandering albatrosses has shrunk dramatically in recent years. researches estimates that there are only some 25000 left worldwide albatrosses often follow boats in. search of food. one of her 1st solo song when i was on the boat taking those over to the crows at islands the bird just came out of nowhere and the sea was choppy and we saw the arbitrageurs roach the boat pass over it's a fly alongside the vessel is observe those and then vanished again into the sea. the birds mainly follow fishing boats unfortunately many fisherman cast kilometer long lines equipped with dozens of hoax while trying to take the bait albatross is often swallowed the hooks and die a painful death the boats are usually unlicensed and don't send out the required automatic identification signals they also don't employ safety measures like weighted lines which can be immediately pulled down far below the water's surface

marine biologists are concerned that. the problem with international waters is their rights free zone and international organizations don't have the legal instruments to force these boats to stop their own authorized fishing or. so off the why miss cage and his colleagues launched their ocean sentinel research project to find another way of combating illegal fishing they've now fitted $170.00 birds with radar transmitters which can even track down boats that aren't sending out the required signal. this here is a transmitter you know it has a g.p.s. on turner which allows it to locate the exact spot where the radar was detected. the another one a transmits the data directly to us via satellite. the scientists compared the data gathered by the birds with that from authorized fishing boats they found that

around 30 percent of the vessels out at sea lacked permits the researches say there are indications some of the bait saw sailing under chinese and spanish lacks an accusation that spain's director general of sustainable fisheries categorically rejects the basis that we are operating in the solution whatever your statements that were flying the flag. saying are welcome busy sure we want sure we all of them and all that we are not a war or their cities but the ornithologists trust their research pass certain that data could help to stop illegal fishing and save albatrosses in the process. just as in many other parts of the world traffic is a major problem in africa's mega city some people need up to 3 odds just to get to work never mind all the small delivery trucks that are frequently stuck in traffic

jams and it's not just the time wasted is it near to taking as capital nairobi its population has doubled over the last 20 years and the increase in traffic is terrible in terms of company emissions and quality but that's just one reason eco minded intrapreneur was us making the switch to electro mobility. it's still early when leroy miner heads into the public stricken districts of nairobi to deliver fresh projects. he were gets around on a solar powered cargo each bike. but he tried. to do you have a good 50 kilometer and collar like i found i thought maybe it would but he tried. going to take you up to our home. to get you through next

spring when you're signing. the fight to reach a speed of 40 kilometers an hour even when it's carrying a heavy load the solar panel on the reef protects leroy from the brain and the battery keeps charging even then this kind of. leverage works for a local company cool kwanza to cooler. it supplies pre-prepared staple foods to street food vendors in mostly impoverished neighborhoods we want to be sustainable that's the number and driver but also we want to be economically sustainable so that we are able to produce products that are affordable for our customers who are mainly poor in order to do that we find it more efficient to use green energy the sort of bikes that we use we don't pay any fuel for them and they are able to carry more cargo compared to buy the electric cargo bike was developed by the startups a cycles sustainable mobility is wonderful because it's one that's good for the environment especially in kenya and in africa where our population will grow must

be over the next 20 to 30 years so the environmental case is a very strong case that we always have to make. the number of vehicles driving on gasoline or diesel is on the rise in african cities worsening pollution and increasing carbon emissions. the united nations environment program you know is therefore promoting electro mentality in africa in kenya the biggest emission when it comes to climate change is to drive. and the biggest polluter when it comes to help is the transport sector and within the transport sector all dirty motorcycles are one of the biggest polluters so we want to replace them completely with 0 emissions elected motorcycles like this one. in kenya some 80 percent of the electricity in the country derives from renewables such as solar and wind power and geothermal energy ideal conditions for. and yet there are just $300.00

electric motor pads on the busy streets of the canyon capital the main obstacle to kenya is inadequate infrastructure and so-called drivers the battery range is too limited plus there are hardly any charging stations. for electric us to be mainstream people say we need just we need for this but for this to be established we need electric cars so there must be there must be that group of people that's really too thick to foster risk. there is demand for electric vehicles in conservation areas for example and wildlife such as for i was north of my right bay. this lampreys a used to be got stripped and it's been retrofitted with a super quiet electric engine a major advantage here in the savannah. what i like about it is the silence when

you're driving. close to the i would argue with no one. here so they don't get this. kind of person are new rules. and. you can sculpt. under both your wall without stopping unlike the other vehicle which is this the safari jeep was converted by swedish company. the company has set up shop in kenya with 40 employees and installs electric engines and cause a mind to bikes and soon buses to. going forward we will go more and more towards towards manufacturing of a deeper and deeper level which means that we can make it kenya into the actual central hub for electric vehicles of this region and we can move away from importing these vehicles. for the time being at least electric vehicles remain

something of a nice marketing campaign. a lot of ground will have to be covered before they go mainstream. and quality in nairobi improves. and that's he's certainly an interesting approach and it is good to know that the. chicago bikes a walk in the rain to maybe the idea will cause other african countries maybe here in uganda as well welcome to the end of this week's equal africa we've glad you could join us and of course we hope you've been able to pick up a few ideas and insights you can use wherever you live i am sunder to know you are saying by here in kampala the capital over you gunga so long for now and sandra and goodbye to you dear viewers out there so you again next week until then you can stay in touch with us and keep up with the latest development on our social media channels but now i'm no time we signing up from the fascist party in lagos nigeria
