i'm itching for a year now and. farmers on proper disposal of continuous because they have been also brought complaints about farmers. on the effects. from as i've been going through the use of them because so often. on how to dispose them there will be induction of these cases many of the farmers are now also taking more care when using the chemicals on their fields. before you start to spray you have to wear boots and a proper outfit you also have to use a mask so you do not inherit the chemicals from money. then vironment are just trying to get the message across that it would be better to do without the chemicals altogether but it is difficult to persuade the farmers that organic fertilizers would protect their land better in the long term in particular against

drugs a growing problem due to climate change it's an uphill battle. farmers that we have made across the country are not really aware of that part of club reaching some of them lead the one percent of them don't even believe that. the activists are showing the farmers other ways they can help fight the effects of global warming for example with tree planting initiatives some 500 species have been planted so far. well portugal is one of the countries in southern europe that has really profited from the years of tourism both the sea coast and the capital lays born a magnet for visitors yet since the start of the coronavirus pandemic the number of tourists has dropped dramatically and hot profitable industry that's right so. well

sometimes what is bad for business is good fun nature unless for instance in these down on the set of groups of everywhere where i'm also started returning. for the people of list then this is nothing short of a small miracle dolphins have returned to the river take us as cheery. many of the locals thrilled. i'm from. seeing all these dolphins is an incredible feeling of the song. as a biologist inish klara often went dolphin watching in the azores these days she works as a sailing strata. but because of the pandemic finding work is tough there are very few tourists. but in asia and her boss say there's

a silver lining for the environment. this year there are more sardines and mongrel in the ocean. that's what dolphins like feeding on. a massive 50 kilo stone passes too and huge sea bass and we've never seen this many sardines 1st of. the night i can tell isn't only thought of just when joyce birdwatching in the take a stelter. today he's spotted a group of flamingos a mere 20 minute car ride from lisbon city center if. not it works for an agency promoting sustainable tourism. as well to take its river delta is a 14000 hector nature is. the good conservation area is even larger. the

pine ever set as one of the most common birds and haven't seen these wetlands which are home to 200 species of my great great bats. some $60000.00 black tailed godwit come each winter they are an endangered species. and a flamingo colony raises its young hare and stays around. her but this paradise is under threat. because it is government has plans to build a new airport in monte should beyond the vasco da gama bridge right next to the wetlands endangering this important ecosystem. 8 conservation groups are now taking the government to court.

taking action because of the many planes that will be landing beside these wetlands . not only dangerous for the birds the birds themselves will also pose a serious danger to the aircraft or some poor. makes no sense to build a new airport here now that lisbon has just been declared europe's green capital. more. the quality of the river takers has greatly improved according to ines that's why so many dolphins have returned. and the fact that no noisy cruise ships are harboring in the portuguese capital helps to dolphins are very sensitive to noise. i mean my large ships are very invasive. dolphins are disturbed by them and avoid swimming up the rest of the margin or i won't list them all thirty's have plates that by 2022. dr cruise ships

here in the new september no right beside liston's old town must turn off their motors to reduce emissions ok cause that every cruise ship docked in lisbon will have to be connected to the electricity grid during you so for oxide emissions and cut pollution in the city we'll see the after supper of the of the current. will not end in ash have both sides will keep their promise set list and can live up to its name of europe's green capsule. dolphins are truly amazing creatures well let's return to the african continent did you know that church congregations in ethiopia play a key role in environmental protection it all started when deforestation began to deplete the country's indigenous tree stocks it was a congregations that fought to preserve their local forests and tame species diversity in coffee go into south go into where we found

a community where more than 30 different kinds of trees are still growing and it turns out it's not so hard to do. for almost 25 years by governor merriam go but as a last he has been turned into a church forest some 200 monks living here in this altar that's the way he took community in northern ethiopia. for centuries monks up reserve the forests around their churches taking care of the citizens as being a spiritual ritual for members of this faith to view the natural forest as a symbol of heaven. the ministry hands wanted and it's a $3.00. this is on and on the shape of the ministry we are committed to date and some more to transfer our history and heritage we have god from our fathers and a responsibility to plants and puts a new trees well over the old trees. committees and.

thanks to their efforts many church compounds both of large indigenous trees such as the white pier or the iron tree earlier africana for example some of the trees around here are 100 years old. if your p. has less than 5 percent forest cover down from 40 percent in 1990 trees are cut down for charcoal and firewood and to make way for farming and grazing land but to protect the church flores have remained intact the south gone the region has an estimated $1500.00 tiny charred forest. the field be an altar dog still why he do churches established a commission to help further conserve them. keep floor walk or is in charge of forest protection in the community they don't want to force their kid in the church therefore we have to. first we have to maintain. well to protect the church forest

its sense and secondly we have to replicate the experience of the church to our community. the monks have created new partnerships with local communities and schools. and drama for tree sessions a part of the environmental education. in the 2 years since the church community project was founded they have managed to create 3 plantations in the school grounds . the project is always intended to improve the living standards of local people so as to reduce over the crandon it's an existing forest resources. with additional funding from a german protest and aid organization $25.00 women here each received 3 sheep. some have seen as grown 2 heads of nearly 10 i used to say i couldn't said mood and so i thought for my family that is what my livelihood depended on but now it's the judge

believes that since accepted and respected by the community that conservation activities will serve as role models. but even with their efforts convincing people here to preserve the forest instead of creating new farmland remains a challenge. we here at eco african never said protecting the environment was easy this program should be a constant reminder of how important it is to preserve nature i'll leave you with those thoughts as i say goodbye i hope you tune into our next show this is now it's signing out from the fawcett park in lagos nigeria thank you all for watching remember you can also discuss the biggest topics with us on our social media platforms and if you have a great idea for protecting the environment write to us i am sandra teen over here and it is a goodbye from uganda. a
