i'm not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am but mostly i'm nothing with the. deep into german culture. we get from this drama day on the east coast it's all about who they know i'm rachel join me to meet the devil monkey the polls. when the sun is beating down in the city at high noon what could be more welcome than a loss shouldn't be offering a break from the heat on a nice wrist welcome to this week's equal africa i am sundered to no video here in kampala uganda today you know environmental magazine will be looking at how green little promises can be right. hello sandra in

a one hello to all of us yes green sitters figure it will be speaking that is pleasant to live in as well and barren mentally and climate friendly more on that in a moment but 1st here's what we have lined up on the show today. war on which south africa tries to counter the dangers of toxic landfills. back to nature a french project shows people what nature really feels like and who's afraid of being bad cooks some deadly reptiles get a new home in lake victoria. africa's cities face many problems but rising migration is one of the most pressing people from the surrounding countryside moved to the cities in the hope of finding a new and better life they aren't put up by the prospects of the living conditions there despite the high incomes nairobi expects its population to double over the next 20 years the kenyan capital has now decided to become greener more

environmentally friendly and generally a nicer place to live in for me infrastructure and housing and wished disposal. teaming up to nearly revive in issue quemoy park. slowly but surely white life is returning. and sharing space with those who can finally enjoy nature of the. created from plant once used for illegal dumping this park in the center of nairobi fast opened in 2008 but due to neglect it was later closed for several years now after extraction mark the puck recently reopened about a 93 species grow in a shocking memorial park more than 4000 some planes have been newly planted.

kenya's capital is growing rapidly nairobi's population is expected to hit 10000000 by 2040 issues like this that if occasion a compelling group of villagers to move to the up and center today 60 percent of cities inhabitants live in informal settlements when it's politics or it is recognize the need for more green spaces. but we're going beyond just. the green spaces that famers we're also dealing with green spaces within neighborhoods. more importantly green spaces within informal settlements. kibera the largest settlement has direct access to the needle b. river the government owns much of the land but has been reluctant to provide basic services such as sanitation of waste management so residents are taking things into their own hands. are guiding principle is quite simple you have to deal with the

programs in the communities fast because all the foley berthold they live with this all the human with comes from the community nori of upolu to itself the cleanup work is mostly being done by local young people the main focus is removing west from him and out on the roof he beera generates around 200 tons of trash hardly. a menu for you i am happy because it's clean unlike before when one couldn't even stop and rest by the side of the dock under 80 west after clearing it up these no but i know they couldn't get near here before but now you can because it's clean and you can rest or even here is a lucky to be there. after the garbage is removed a sewage system was installed so the worst water can drop off. the government funds

were provided for public toilets that maintained by a local injury or clean drinking water is also now available. for new construct that are led to believe that they will be not only do it in various burning construct that garbage collection and disposal center we believe are not only booster get into into the area of us again who are near repair they throughout north you worry leak into their ecosystem. other changes are also being made in an effort to reduce vehicle emissions by 50 percent only the only other new narrowed. busiest shopping district the city county government has recently closed traffic lanes. additional chisel planted and an am 100 system live sunbeams told to collect data on the pollution levels the street was remodeled in partnership with you inhabitant.

so our main motivation was can we use this as an entire point into a band regeneration into transformation and you make it a place where people want to be and we transform can we get evolution i have one ambitious project aims to do just that tattoo c.t. is an urban development in the north of nairobi with housing schools offices green areas and manufacturing districts it hopes to ease the burden on the crowded copy to. such a city is excuse and a mixed income development and so we'll have residential properties available for different levels of income so we'll have a lot of affordable housing middle income as well as a high end developments the 1st 48 affordable apartment units completed solar energy systems have just been finished by 2050 it's expected that over

a 1000000 people will be a tome in this modern community. from africa now let's head to europe and from the searching each of the countries are for 25 years i mean should have in the south of france had been raising awareness about great quality natural farming and i thought those were saying it's eco comes to learn how to plant how plants gardens and fields are cultivated sustainably and how seeds are selected and so. what is more near to an increasing number of people in france want a complete rethink of how we farm and processed food that's giving this nonprofit project a boost in what is sponsor from a broad spectrum for farmers to drop out. how does lettuce pretty you see. this hands on workshop is getting stressed city dwellers the chance to get close to nature once again. if you don't

use your own you can over time i realized that i miss nature and that i needed to reconnect with it. that's why i decided to leave everything you know that my job give up my apartment and experience reconnecting with nature in places like this interrogate humanities. i was some time in. the at dish valley in the south of france this is where the association ted human easement has set up a model enterprise for agro ecology on a form live in yet the garden is where workshop participants learn about how to apply green principles to agricultural processes the idea is to move away from industrial agriculture and towards natural cycles. we realised that plants are like us need

a healthy environment they need to do well in the soil and then and there and if that's not the case they want to belive as well we're being productive and don't appear to remold it's not a little bit like human beings so there's a very close connection between us and plants the plants at a neighboring plot the soil has been exhausted by artificial fertilizes their own garden is being fertilized with compost and plant mixtures. to improve this structure so that nutrients are more available to plants so that the soil retains more water and is less depleted a source of the challenge of what do you sit. there lots of microorganisms we can see the earthworms in it there are lots of little roots this is roughly the objective of the agro ecology that we promote more of a culture to get this kind of soil. to the bone you know to do sort of what is the opposite of what we saw on the other plot you know where you couldn't even push the

shovel in a few centimeters had to hit very hard. for the new takes on established thinking peston is regarded as a very fast spreading and persisted weed but the plant tastes good and is easy to digest the workshop leader even says that person could be a substitute for fish since it contains nutritionally valuable 3 fatty acids. so here this afternoon we talked about adam while plant medicinal plants all the issues with things like what to watch out for when you start or when she becomes more of an expert watching do with them how they can be used and how they benefit us. the groups now know more about plants and have come a bit closer to nature on an old vineyard which sets a fine example of sustainable land for us. now let's head to the shores of lake victoria here in uganda residents are repeatedly attacked and injured by 9

crocodiles the reportorial come out significant families and along the death which water and fishermen complaining about broken necks little blank walks with a gun to wildlife authority to capture and really look at the crocodiles in his career experienced crocodile culture has captured more than 190 crocodiles impressive isn't it. the fear some side of america the largest a species of d.n.a. in africa while tourists cruise the nile hoping to see the imposing reptiles from the safety of a board along the shores of lake victoria the 4 rushes predictors pours a deadly threat to people living in the area drinking fish stalks and shrinking crocodile habited have led to a worrisome rise in attacks in recent times many victims are children who go down

to the lake to play or fetch water fisherman are also a target peter is a crocodile expert with the uganda wildlife for free t. he and his team have come in response to reports of a sighting they ask the villages for further details before setting off to search for the animal when we received information we quickly rushed to the theme on the form with our no we do the upshot of the quebec locals the lead the team to the areas favored by the large reptiles. they lay at trap and made from a piece of meat attached to wire. on that floor. so that the weight of what i love comes in the grabs. and then they wire will die. or your order up by your when it leaves. a wire biting.

but in this instance the crocodile squad needs to adjust the trap the predator smells a rat and escapes. in one village the crocodile hunters have more luck fisherman have captured a crocodile themselves or gone steam is here to take it away safely safe not just for the people but the crocodile too. after a 7 hour drive the team arrives at the crocodile farm on the outskirts of kampala and the animal is released the facility was set up by the uganda wildlife or $3000.00 partnership with the private investor. this one has reportedly killed 7 people the predator permanently lives in captivity now since its judged too dangerous behavior. visitors pay to see the creatures which helps finance the farm that ensures aggressive crocodiles

a safe haven some of their offspring will be returned to nature but the program was set up for several reasons $1.00 to bring them we want them to lay eggs and then we litter incorporated the eggs and. we really do young one which will do for one reason pop was for educational purposes and for such the uganda where level 3 t. puts the country's crocodile population at about 1200 most of them are now living freely in national parks in uganda. you can always count on was to do the trick if you want to generate strong feelings and people the wildlife fund when they were money and sex and thought about that and came up with a compelling for protecting the country's future they have populations it is called

bass leagues in the north to the well known to get a feel stream platform and it walks in very much the same way he is doing good deeds this week. there flexes turning binge watchers into bear watchers it's a new streaming service for wildlife fans launched by the w w f romania. subscriptions to the site help support orphaned bear cubs in romania the country is home to around 7000 bears but animal welfare activists say the largest bear population in europe is under threat. more and more cops being separate that from day armando due to all human relate and. that's a 34th day that mentation long. had. the devastation of

their natural habitat has prompted adult bears to forge for food from humans in many cases they're seen as a threat and killed leaving the cubs all alone without parents. the w w f says this is europe's only bear orphanage and has rescued over $150.00 of them . orphaned cubs good food shelter and medical care for 2 years then they released into the wild. what do we want to do we'd better flee is not only. the story of the rehabilitate the cops but also transmit you things and you formation of. biology and behavior all of these. without the orphanage orphanage bear cubs could end up in zoos or circuses their flicks means people can enjoy watching the cute little car never ends without worrying about exploding. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us

about it visit our website or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. well when they leave the country because now to zoom in on the beaches if you are a regular it off with a viking well you already know an awful lot of all these amazing instict how important it is for the ecosystems that he is seriously threatened by the environmental pollution on god you can make a lot of money with the honey what do you think about that. well here's something you haven't seen before on this program beings helping to make music i'm not joking seriously check out this. keeping bees and working as a d.j. aren't normally activities that most people would say is related in any way but not

for be at least 7 his music comes from the buzzing of bees produces cool beats with it and has a message for his listeners as being a hoss of loss of a set during the time i was such trying to make a performer some audio piece a state cracking bass 6 speak for themselves people connect to great through 3 sounds. the only sense of studied art and design and jam his experimental music while he was still a student he calls it insect. c he uses a special software to isolate the different frequencies of the b.s. a minute. there are 3 types of being a high this is the queen group who is the draw and the charge of their own

frequency range which. so to create has a high pitch piping sound high workers economy midrange sound strong by all being the case base so. he uses a scanner to record the sounds made by the buildings the frame he built is fitted with microphone use and the digital recorder which can capture hours of buzzing in will be high and. being nice always tinkering with new instruments for his music once he's filled the recorders memory and the london park near me simply takes it home to his studio analyzes the b. sound and arranges them through various synthesizers to create a track when you put sounds all of this there become kind of a last trick community clear. interface for this synthesizer. is to be flying into the flour.

be any samples taken his sound installations all over the well and. he always takes to the stage in a b. keep his seat he wants to remain anonymous he wants the listeners to concentrate solely on the music. but this year his performance in the concert. during lockdown of luckily being able to come here to my being is just meditate. you know regardless of the pandemic in lockdown they receive the bees just carry on as normal. and not showing their happy that is not as much pollution. this year. if things bees are happy being any semblence to his sounds are ahead especially with young audiences at the same time

they raise awareness of the world wide decline of be populations. what a strange idea and after us report from kenya we saw how illegal waste dumps can be dealt with but south africa is approaching the problem of thoughtless ways dumping in a much more radical fashion lots of towns and communities have been declaring war on waste recently the idea is to turn waste into an integral part of a waste base associate cannot make shots on nation collect more recycle more and raise people's awareness easily done many have already had bad experiences with the trash heaps piled high outside their doors to this. waste strewn on the edge of a township in south africa it's a common sight when burned toxic fumes fill the. that motivated the government to transform 15 illegal dumps into punk's and playgrounds as part of its war on waste

watching to benzene nicky from the municipal authority says such projects won't succeed without the help of local residents so frankly having a challenge of inequality where we are. trying so hard is our way miss pushing messages and that talk to all communities to make them understand that you own your own navel words know where your neighbor wants not government. to press and it's a bad message between us and you have to take care of your own name by which it can work for us if you don't work with us wilma township home to 60000 people off as one example of what can be done. here kalani see why lol mr lynn will feel a project with the help of a nonprofit organization are transformed into dumped into a vegetable garden the income from cells announced

a letter employed 5 leukaemia in the thirty's sells well in the neighborhood. first of all this garden helps to keep the environment clean because people no longer dump garbage here but it also helps the community by providing jobs in order for the garden to grow and succeed i need people to help now the garden provides a source of income and food. and we need other community based initiatives are also striving to keep the township from drowning in rubbish like we train a social empowerment project that works with waste because like. he says d'angelo group founded the project as a way of helping the community people think that thrown away means that it just goes away but we have a lot of people that live in those away places that live close to tips and places where garbage collectors. but it isn't a fair living condition for anyone so and so africa we're really trying to change

that because our our informal housing is very close to those areas so we want them to be the best areas they can be if people are going to live in them. things to retreat collecting recyclables has become a recognised job in the area provide an elitist will find. that people around me my neighbor and. mother who are. close well you know who. look after them in the. back of the garden. and packing vegetables for hundreds of local families the kind of virus pandemic has left many in the township without a source of income so they come to date. and the n.g.o.s that helped me set up the garden are working together to assemble and distribute the cat packages once a blight on the neighborhood this area is now

a lifeline and while south africa's war on waste is far from. the success of projects like those in walnut township sure that at least some of the battles are with the fight. as you know here at eco africa we never had to have highlights just how important i would nation ship to nature and that's why i will be back next week with a new edition of our environmental magazine i'm now a tag signing up from then to be kind of parked in lagos nigeria and by advice of my colleague in uganda buying me a good bye to you our dear of us do not forget to check out our social media site get involved let us know what you think about environmental issues it is a goodbye from me sandra teen of deal here in kampala uganda and of course i'll be looking forward to having your company once again next week. don't.
