what secrets lie behind a small move to discover new adventures in the 360 degree. and explore fascinating sights of the. w 360 to get a. good . taking for your own hands for yourself and the environment that's all from the tree to success especially during this difficult times and today's edition of the who africa we will introduce you to a lot of different people who are doing just that with various initiatives to help b.n. bob welcome to the show i know it's coming to you from lagos and i'll be saying

a big hello to my colleagues around. hello sandra thank you mia to a one welcome from me sundra to no video here in kampala uganda you are absolutely right near to on the topic we'll meet the must fight in kenya diverse in egypt and so much more here's what you can look forward to in the next half an hour. we show you the potential for one big data to protect the environment. you also learn about how design is and spain are recycling old material into. a vise husks they used to grow delicious mushrooms. but must we have a look at an easy as a no then does it where the effects of climate change are increasingly noticeable in the rate area around on the so it is dusty. it is getting harder for farmers to

cultivate the a lot of brits rainfall throughout the year has gone down water has become a luxury fuel on the fuel pharmacy and have a sufficient amount of this precious resource as they are forced to use water more effectively the people in this area aren't getting creative. it takes a lot of water to irrigate his olive groves and vegetables so choosey and farm machinery heavy has 3 systems to collect rainwater. he owns 90 hectares of land which is a lot for the kairouan region. says new thoughts on the pump 6 liters per 2nd down to the fields it's about that in summer the system runs for 16 to 17 hours a day we use less water in the cooler winter months to see if there's still enough rain and with our well we always have enough water. in this way.

not everyone's situation is as comfortable. just 10 kilometers away beyond these mountains life is much harder. most families have to walk several kilometers to get to the nearest water source 'd to cover their daily needs they might have to make a number of trips back and forth. jobs like to it requires 250 liters of water every day just for his animals and his fields. he needs an additional 40 liters for himself his wife and their 3 children. and it's been more than most it's really tough for the people who live in this region it takes everyone so much time to fetch water we're tired our children can carry on doing this every day it's a burden on the entire region. we still have no running water at home it affects

our quality of life it's so hard we're all trying to find solutions and ahead of. systems that collect rainwater could offer the people has some relief. and now hundreds of being built with the help of a german development agency. until now a large part of the rain what's ahead what's going on you just. catch the rain water that runs off the houses which can be used as drinking water for irrigation to. him polly. farmers can use it to grow our mons all those and rosemary which don't require that much water. as the agency also advises farmers and has set up what it calls water forums constructive strategies are developed and farmers can discuss which plants they

could that would use less water. we have a really unusual situation in the region we're in now with these but we. basically know groundwater left because too much of it has been used up over the years. so the farmers are now having to resort to stored water. but getting water to store is also a problem. it hasn't rained much in the past 4 years farmers get their water from this impoundment dam it supplies more than half a 1000000 people and. it has water levels decline it's being pumped further and further across the country. and that has a direct impact on the people who live here. pressure is mounting even on the farms he didn't think they have to worry about that water

supply. in some places water is actually being stolen. there are an estimated 20000 illegal wells in china. that's why raising awareness of the problem is so important if nothing changes farmers and that animals will no longer be able to survive in these mountains. and then the region might soon become uninhabited. using our resources wisely will be the growth. in the coming decades in fact the. change of direction in many areas including textile production i'm up cycling is a new buzzword one clothing designer. uses everything he can get his hands on from plastic bottles to items on the label his motivation

there is no plan to be. transformed into quilted jackets plastic bottles become backpacks just 2 of the items made by the label. t. shirts sneakers and jackets almost everything in this madrid shop is made from recycled materials. founder is going which we got the idea for the label 2009. initial motivation was the frustration with the amount of waste we're creating in the world i believe the most sustainable think too was not to keep on using natural resources so recycling could be a solution if we were to make a new generation of recycled products with the same color. and if that is the best . that we could demonstrate there's no need to get the independent vote to get at all but we can transform what other people call waste into polymer yarn fabrics and

products. these flip flops are made of old car tires they're 100 percent recycled and don't even need glue the labels reveal what goes into these products. all these labeled we try always to put in the common believe it or not this one says that when 235 grams of discarded fishing gets to make one yards of fabric. going to chains hoping to raise awareness of environmental issues and at the same time create fashion that looks good. spanish journalist brenda chavez reports on sustainability and observes the trend. the past 7 months it's starting to catch on but it didn't really pick up speed until the annual figures for textile waste became more common. now the industry is beginning to react to the problem that we're having with plastic. and i don't know well says it's recycled over 330 tons of waste taken from the sea the label cooperates with spanish fishermen. they

gather the ways from the sea for the fashion house. old fishing nets and plastic bottles are processed to make polymer yarn that goes into the fabrics used to make new clothes. the label wants to make an environmentally conscious lifestyle part of its image its slogan because there is no plan it be. a. part of a whole lifestyle the whole 0 waste movement is growing and people want to produce less waste and have less impact on the environment. than i am going to. a fashion trend or the future of clothing. how are you going to choose continuing his experiments with cycling and hopes. to catch on in more mediterranean countries.

now and they're awesome very different plastic pieces in that report and these hard to believe that most of them i made from old classics somewhat some of them like this but as of already seen plastic waste in the sea is especially helpful for wal-mart of marine life including coral reefs in egypt over $300.00 professional die of us took advantage of a corner virus locked down so clean up the popular tourist resorts the team spent about 3 days over water he has this week's doing your bit civil. egypt's red sea coast is blessed with one of the world's most stunning coral reefs it's a hot spot for divers and tourists. but plastic and other trash endangered the sensitive underwater ecosystem. to counteract this egypt's chamber of diving and water sports initiated underwater cleanups during the cove at 19 lock down.

on the way. divers from sharm el sheikh got a saw as an opportunity to clean the sea a chance to get rid of the trash and do something good while they had time on our hands. more than 350 professional divers were eager to volunteer. divers in the hob removed plastic film and other debris that could suffocate the coral. in who got a decade's worth of garbage were removed from a marina and taken to local waste disposal companies for sorting and many resorts in egypt reopened in mid july but from now on. some of the diving will be devoted to keeping the coral reefs clean. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website oh set us

a tweet hash tag doing your best and. we share your stories. is tourism a curse blessing this is a question that comes up in many choice hot spots in kenya over here is divided among the messiah population they are about 3000000 assigned or do i many of them live from tourism as rangers gods or tall god i guess a near term when the coronavirus put an end to tourism it also puts an end to these source of income members of the not. obvious in kenya are thinking of new ways to weather the storm together they'll do what ever it takes so that they preserve the environment aren't way of life. these women are sifting through the river of the national icon 70 located right next to canyons famous

mossimo national park this tributary flows into the mari. nelson only really initiated the cleanup he pays the women from the nearby villages $5.00 a day for their work. this is the most important watershed in this part of the mara the local community relies on this water for there are usage for cooking cleaning and even also the livestock and our wildlife unfortunately the revised heavily polluted because of the activities of. our burn areas upstream are there tourist comes all the way to that only really and his wife were both born in this area because founded nationally and can suffer see run by the local muslim community unlike in other natural resolves white life people in lifestyle quicks least here. national life itself

is a very important corridor allowing wildlife to migrate especially. elephants we normally access this area for by thing and also. the grim migration passes through these corridors all the way to the other consequences. these area has always belonged to the local community but with growing communities and 1st land the wildlife was vanishing to create the conservancy 4 years ago the community members pulled down their fences and 2 years later the wildlife returned. the biggest problem facing wildlife today in kenya is what actually porting as people might actually think of it it is the lack of space and that space is with communities so all communities have

to be at the center of conservation the members of the conservancy largely rely on funding from donors and only a 5th of its income is generated by tourism but this year they called on a pandemic as diverse teta the region's economy without the 2 i respect visit each year many only rely on their livestock as they lost their jobs us ranges in hotels or traders on the local markets. everything has become difficult getting food is a problem there are diseases all around us just locked down at home and can't live the village of a bill caldwell boom through crowd funding the national a team has been able to provide food aid to the villages it's a lifeline for now it will take a long time before tourists will start coming back by their visit they help to protect kenyans wildlife but conservation is like only riyal

worry that this may no longer work. so we need. a paradigm shift in their conservation movement to find out other are alternatives to sustain the important work that is done in conservation it's work in progress but o'leary ja ops that involving the local people in this process will build more resilience communities and help nature to. how much trust in kenya is mari the. areas of the the biggest plastic with problems you may be wondering and we are wondering as well all this can be seen not only from the ground level but also from way on high resolution stiff life images the several web platforms and obs that make this complex available we have a simple click or swipe knowing where action is needed also helps us to fight

against pollution get out and. city parks that was the name of the online call which hundreds of people in berlin followed the clean up call was based on data collected by volunteers who had discovered many polluted places in the german capital plan a supported the call the startups focus is environmental protection. climate change is not one problem climate change is a lot of problems that are intertwined and our data approach helps us actually untangle this complexity we use the data to pinpoint exactly the locations and the types of issues that happen around the world that need to be immediately aggregate on. the berlin based start up analyzes data from research institutions around the world. based on its findings plan

a contact individuals companies and community groups in the affected areas world wide. they publicize their project and allow users to help fund them. data analysis can help to identify and address environmental problems would quickly. litter base is an online database that's open to everyone graphic show the results of more than a 1000 scientific studies on marine pollution. on a world map it's easy to see where research expeditions have already taken place. the latest results from the worldwide scientific community are regularly fed into the database. the aim is to make the global issue of marine pollution more accessible and easily understood including to nonscientists.

nowadays and over there if anything anymore especially because of social media and people like to have a picture of having these maps and this imo this is graphs are providing useful information in the really short time to the public. another example the global forest change database at the university of maryland uses a map to show the state of the world's forests since 2013 users have been able to call up info based on satellite images they can see the effects of forest fires illegal logging and reforestation over long periods the platform is also dedicated to protecting forests and their inhabitants it combines satellite technology with open data and crowdsourcing. data platforms make the problems more visible and with an app everyone can do their bit to help tackle them the c o 2 tracking every forest on focuses on individual consumption and it gives you the

chance to create and manage your own forest. the oral eco app is similar enter your daily habits with a few clicks and the app will calculate your carbon footprint and show you how to shrink it it also invites you to be a climate hero by supporting carbon offset projects that help people and the planet . for the digital activists in berlin mobilizing people is an important factor in tackling the global problem the climate for dickson has made people. at. unclear on what they need to do i think because of the language that is being used we speak. in a way that doesn't necessarily explain to people what the issues are we should be focusing more on actionable advices rather than simply speaking with big words about the issues. with the help of these apps and data platforms we can all contribute to the protection of the environment. high trade but the low

carbon footprint that is amazing isn't it speaking of low carbon footprint our next report is about. stuff follow who goes mushrooms in ghana but in a very unusual resource a great new year to you all about how it works right i believe i do stand up you basically sawdust wise lime fungus cause i'm a lot of pressure but a double is in the details if you want to delicious mushrooms this way then your work needs to be very precise and. this woman knows have fungus especially mushrooms businesswoman for. money just one of ghana's big commercial mushroom farms she stands at 5 years ago with just 10 bags today the company generates 150000 sperm banks

in each production cycle we supply a lot of. chinese restaurants. so a key. to the restaurant and also some of the household. a lot of the mushrooms. not much is needed to grow mushrooms spawn and in this case. there's plenty of dots prof tongues of the waist up are judged every day but feel areas in ghana have been useable waste collection and sawdust takes a long time to composed. so most of it gets thrown on to try ships and burn together with all the garbage hardly anyone wants it apart from this mushroom grower. the mushrooms are very near let me.

come for a. minute and that gives air pollution the exhaust from traffic and trash burning is an unhealthy mix. reducing the amount of air pollution was something. to come to consideration when she set up a mushroom growing operation. there are many. other substrate for the production of the mushroom and i chose for the environment. every couple of months a launch delivery assume just arrived at the from. one of the challenges we face as a mushroom cloud using company is the transportation of the role much from the sawmill through to the farm site meanwhile the sawdust in itself is absolutely free

preparing the substrate is simple yet labor intensive the sawdust is 1st mixed with rice bran and quicklime this mixture is then pressed into thousands of small bags fish will be the proof medium for the form guy in barrels the bags are he did say $100.00 degrees to kill of microorganisms only then is some straight inoculated with a mushroom spawn it takes at least 6 weeks for the 1st food bodies to pop up i have over $100.00 well now men and women but i haven't so groups come in the morning and evening. the band has grown during the quarter virus pandemic eating mushrooms is considered to be good for the immune system and because of their relatively high protein content more and more people see them as a heavy substitute for meat. always to mushrooms cost

a lot less than beef which is another reason they are gaining in popularity. was what. made we believe all checking this is amazing i love it if more people produced and consumed regionally grown produce like. a mushroom it could have a sustainable effect on gun as an environment. they look great i need to try those maybe you will soon have sawdust motion ca in lagos we have enjoyed the show and you've taken away some ideas and inspiration that's all for this time goodbye and see you soon i know it's i i'm already looking forward to next week i couldn't agree more all it is a goodbye for me to here in kampala uganda don't forget to check out of social media platforms on. a website we would love to get a veitch

a visit from you my name is founder and i'll be looking forward to having your company once again next week. the.
