they want to know what makes the geminids news just get the jump. on banning the way. i'm living up towards my own car and everyone was lead a holes in everything. getting are you ready to beat the germans then join the right to do it on d. w. . hello and welcome to the environment magazine co-produced by n.t.v. in uganda china's t.v. in nigeria and in germany i am sondra to know if you want with me today i was always a micro present a new to bear hug how are you today i don't know their son i am just fine thank you very much and i want i'll come to you odd to viewers out there we have

a lot in store for you on today's program so let's take a quick look at what's lined up today. in senegal we visit some students who i think with the new solar car. in germany we hear about a push to make textiles on locally sourced move. on can you know we learn once again how crucial it is to protect our water resources. first we had to the south of the continent south africa's energy comes almost exclusively from coal fired power plants which is a major factor behind rising up pollution in an atheist the government has announced plans to significantly increase the use of renewable sources within 10 yes being solar wind or hydropower they mischa to his being spearheaded by green cape a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to innovative young green startups

. one to go the protests heights academy school and kept town when thrown out without paying for the installation the system was financed by code funding platform their idea small investors buy ponies and earn an income from sending the electricity to the school that is using them so far from cambridge his current funding platform equipped over 30 schools and companies within 5 years they plan to have more than $200.00 additional assistance. so if you want to put money in solar panels for an environmental reason put them in south africa you're offsetting $8.00 times the carbon emissions by the side of an hour here's africa than it would do in germany for example and you're getting twice as much electricity out of it so it just makes more sense to put a solar panel where you create more social environmental and economic impact and for that school the solar energy is cheaper than power from the grid with

investment as little as 4 euro's san extant is also open to people with less income in fact many of the pupils that protest how it's invested in the solar cells themselves when the horn is the school's former principal she says that aside from clint cheap energy the project also brings another benefit to me always that yeah kids are so excited allen is to actually get involved and interest in your old thing and actually buy still sells him sow's and see how the money would increase or decrease or whatever i mean it was it created a huge interest in nearly excitement and then he says what you want to teach our children for the future you seem to be near all skills innovative motors to fund and produce green energy gently need in south africa the government aims to produce a quarter of on a clue city from renewables by 2030 general jones works for green care a nonprofit organization committed to expanding the green sector together with

other lobby groups the un made sure that and i just heard taps gained an important role in government plans to transition south africa to its review up was go to specific. and they said this this road to 20 cities in the road. it states that it would be $20.00 gigawatts of renewable energy being procured and that comprises technologies in the renewable energy space but for the 1st time what is very interesting is that. they have. designated gigawatts of small scale generation in. to the inside of the police document i r.p. all integrated resource plan to have small scale solar power solutions account for some 10 percent of south africa's total energy mix then they are in effect as who are looking to the question for have some on one big company developed an underwater pump powered by the ocean's waves it turned saltwater into drinking

water while at the same time producing a constant source of energy that could power up to 10 european i was sold all year around it's always energy. if we said we're looking at a whole range of waves that come from different areas there's a lot of stuff that's produced locally by the local ones but there's an enormous amount of energy that's come from storms that could be thousands of miles away. there with pump is tied to a boy that leads with each wave that level movement pressure rises wachter to purify it and generator 2 cities at the same time for years the prototype unit was tested under water and is now back in the workshop for some maintenance work so far the unit has proven that the concept works the team says despite the challenges. we face a confidence that these systems are going to. be

a big part of the solution in future is not really arts or wind but working in conjunction with them at the challenges with the ocean is that it's an expensive system to develop when there is very little funding available with sufficient funding the company could start to pounce next year that would feed into the power grid the san extant card funding platform meanwhile has just received an additional $3000000.00 euros from one major investor powering on south africa's green energy transition. now it's off because of us know we've. from feature reports on research for the environment from electric cars to doing it yourself wind turbines and recycling old laptop batteries they are the creations of inventive young minds on various countries hoping to make their visions reality let is right near to and this week we have an innovation from cynical a group of young researches on

a university in dhaka have been working on a solar powered they call for everyday use he's this week's doing give me. this is a. it was built by university students in dakar. it's powered by the sun. the idea was developed by students in canada. the technical drawings come from italy. the students in senegal put the pieces together. it has a range of 60 kilometers. they can negotiate bumpy surfaces. and carry 2 people or goods weighing up to 250 kilograms. more than half the population of senegal has no electricity.

the majority live in rural areas. and. provide power people need for their various endeavors in the field or for any other activity that requires electricity. the kiddo's l. is the answer to the problem. i said to the. battery can be used to charge mobile phones. or to run a $500.00 watt water pump for a full 12 hours. and how about you if you'll also do it tell us about it visit our website oh said just a tweet. hash tag doing your bank's. story. well roaming the

countryside. for sheep or goats to graze. all over the was. days it's gonna be a hard life but for different reasons in different places in germany is now privately owned and livestock shipping has become increasingly rare another problem the price of war is so little it's not even selling but people would like to see the various not sure textile put to good use. shepherd florian heise has brought his animals to rest in a green patch between warehouses and factories in the industrial ruhr area in western germany he's one of the few shepherds left in the country. there are around a 1000 professional shepherds left in germany that's not so many really i don't know many young people who want to do this job i'll continue to do it with passion

until i have to step down it's certainly a dying profession that nobody wants to do you don't make much money accountable problem for. the sheep are eventually sold for their meat but municipalities also pay shepherds to have their flocks graze on public land. but wool has become a losing business these days sales don't even cover the costs of having the sheep sheared so that's from a beautiful merino wool. i have merino sheep they still have the best quality wool i get over a euro per kilo. one colleagues of mine who have other breeds get a lot less they get $45.00 to $0.65 per kilo. some of them don't sell it any more choosing to burn the roll or toss it instead. they're going to. his wool goes to china where it's processed and

ends up in bedding upholstery carpets and other textile products some of these end up back on the european market where they're sold at high prices that make spaghetti pappa furious as to talent it's totally absurd buyers here purchase the wall and send it all the way to china for washing and it sent to paris where it's packaged and suddenly everyone wants it. gives it is a self-taught tailor but. she initially trained to be a dental assistant now she's a businesswoman with a passion for wool. she calls her product mosel tweed published mr mcmullan i wondered whether the wall from the sheep in our region was also suitable for fabric and it turns out that it's very suitable for cloth and at that point i told myself that i'd do my best to save local wool one of. the cloth is made in

germany soley from wool out of the region she already has about $100.00 metres in stock the company produces vests caps and sport coats from the material. so most of science. how to receive support from the back and tell spinning around in a globalized textile market producing fabric regionally is difficult the production costs are too high the quantities too low. for wool is processed here died and spun into yarn the vatican felt spinning wheel wants to promote local wool but has no illusions about the future of wool from germany the foremost my dear sadly consumers today are not willing to pay higher prices at the retail level they're more interested in getting new products faster they want to see trends in changes in fashion so the cost has to be low it would be nice if people could change their

priorities citizens will. get a couple remains enthusiastic about her will in fabric it may be expensive but demand from high quality sustainable fashion is growing her mission is to eventually produce quantities approaching 10000 metres of her muzzle tweet. the next away had to go beyond which is home to africa's largest a stable forest and if on population but sunday the numbers have increased dramatically in recent decades that's right sandra for farmers across the room in elephant that may seem like good news but in fact the large animals are important for maintaining that because logical bottoms so wild live authorities in no pre-nuptial park are working to protect the elephants while helping the locals to protect their fields and their villages.

for. his anti-poaching team this is the easy part of the job not far from their station in low pay national park they're gathering data on flora and fauna. passed through here. ok possible and then they moved here and left their traces. thanks to the rangers the nature reserve has experienced no major wildlife crime in the last 2 years. though piers one of 13 national parks established in cabo in 2002 it's a you know asco world heritage site and home to elephants panthers gorillas buffalo and over 400 bird species his days the elephants pose more of a problem than the poachers do an important part of the work of the park manager

and his team is communicating with the residents of the villages on the edges of the national park. we realised that the elephants were more or less fleeing the interior of the forest because of growing pressure from poachers from the south and southwest. thanks to fences that the park officials have set up around the villages the elephants are slowly retreating back into the forest. in 3 of the villages electric fences protect the plantations with us and we've been going hungry for 2 years people were losing weight there wasn't enough to eat but this year we have enough again we have vegetables we've been able to harvest what we planted to get. the cooperation between the park management and local residents is proving successful for the way in dong the fences in these communities have also come as a relief. if it was costing

a lot of money it takes $46.00 people to chase away 3 elephants and elephants not a dog it's not a sheep that you can push away with elephants you have to be very strict and vigilant visuals and grew up here like many of the rangers he's confident that humans and wildlife can co-exist peacefully. so we do this so that our children can see what we are seeing today today we only read about dinosaurs and books. we can't just drive animals to extinction kill them without a 2nd thought. that would be a big problem so if you see. tomorrow we'll be back at work in low pay national park and the rangers and villagers will continue to maintain the fences that can help to ensure their future. securing food is essential for all living creatures it takes up much of the day for some and the more we humans encroach on the wildlife habitat the more we have to assume that i mean most will come on me from our

gardens are serious issues like water shortage just getting gold gardens to grow was becoming harder and harder in the south of frogs farmers are having to drill deep wells to obtain water for their food trees and vegetable prides but devising a present ways to use the water also helps to preserve it. these nectarines are growing plump even though there has been little or no rain here recently. now gross's fruit and $120.00 have tears in the co a region of southeastern france each tree needs about 8 leaders of water and day on average during the summer there have been long periods of drought in recent years and they exact a price then now has installed a sophisticated irrigation system with a water pump and sensors on all the trees and an app that lets him see how each tree is doing that's a must for if the leaves are too wet they can rot and attract pests with this

system i can treat them with pesticides directly and only when it's absolutely necessary. so it's very economical but if they can to support but this is. no need this is in charge of the equipment and the programming of the irrigation system. it is fed from a well that taps groundwater at a depth of 80 metres the water is filtered and carefully dispensed with the help of the computer. the orchard is divided into 72 smaller plants. that also going to come up and this is what we used to run the system all crazy i program the watering schedule i select which plots to water and at what time of day and for how long. it lets us steer the entire irrigation process very accurately course. summers in europe are getting hotter and drier

water is becoming scarce the summer of 2018 was the hottest on record in europe drought in the north and center of the continental us plunge as much as 50 percent water rationing was introduced in some countries. and friends to the funny sector is under mounting pressure. so it's important to optimize your again and not waste water the local chamber of agriculture is interested in pioneering work in the field. he's letting it conduct experiments on 3 of his 72 plants. monitors how much water there is in the soil and the trees. the dam dramaturg lets you see if the branch of the peach tree is growing or shrinking. if it's shrinking the tree needs water i guess. the project will track tree growth and yield for 3 years the aim is to study the economic and environmental impact of

a shortage of water growing fruit is an important part of the economy in this area . want to model future scenarios. if one day $1020.00 or 30 percent less water is available will the fruit growers be able to respond appropriately. for. the project will help him fine tune his irrigation program. now careful use of water is a crucial issue here too in africa only swamp is a work law in campbell county and also the head of water over nairobi river tributary the what life is very important source of water awful farming and divisive. and the reason more to new to the swamp also helps to reduce the impact of floods during the rainy season and helps improve what a quality the area has suffered a major degree as a result of the illegal discharge of west and in question meant by local people

that want to vetted members of the community to find a course of action project to protect the vital ecosystem. that used to be lots of great crowned cranes here but not all on the wetland was once home to all kinds of birds the duck and herring populations of also declined. c o 2 and store rainwater on daily is a key source of water for the nearby town of kikuyu as well as the kenyan capital nairobi. is growing and getting ever closer. the wetland greenhouses and fields now reach right up to the edge of the swamp which covers 3.3 square kilometers the equivalent of $450.00 football pitches a farm is used to harvest large amounts of grass from the wetland to feed their cattle which meant birds had less room to build their nests but that is no longer the case thanks to david work ok and his colleagues who make up the friends of on

t.v. wetland group when we started a walk there are so many for the harvest harvest in florida and i vend of the year . just after they goodbye and these bullies and this is. how the whole biodiversity destroyed the group has 300 members. they are in the process of planting 8000 young trees around the wetland to help prevent soil from the fields washing into the wetland when it rains and to hinder cattle from going there to graze. david kyra's farm is next to the wetland he's keen to make sure that the trees here can thrive. since the trees were planted in the place looks good in the past there was grazing

and sometimes cows would get into the swamp and sink in the bog. and now there's no more grass harvesting either. another problem is that waste water from the greenhouse pollutes the area with toxins including heavy metals that serious because the wetland is the source of a tributary of the nairobi river on whose water is the capital depends. the friends of the undoing wetland have persuaded some farmers to give up this kind of intensive cultivation. and they're helping to undo the damage. we are plankton bombo trees along this wetland they are very good. trees when it becomes too. so i've been in the metals that are coming out of the greenhouse farming for a long time in the local authorities did little to protect the swamp but that too

is changing. we are working their way through their farmlands because. india is. part of the allied so we are. getting them and creating awareness but. to do. because. thanks in particular to the efforts of the friends of on dairy the wetland has started to recover. the next project is to build a trail for that watches. the bugs that are found here. be very important. to this area because one. those areas that have been marked. by the area i'd be is.

learned is not one of them i'm not is one of the things that friends of mine didn't want to achieve if things go well we will once again become a paradise for birds a recent survey found the wetland now supports more than 70 different species as conditions here slowly improve. i hope. the importance of caring for our environment and also inspired you to rethink the precious water resources and i hope you found a mixture of topics as interesting as they did for now it is a good bye for me sandra to nobody here in kampala uganda. and from me now it's a way in lagos it's goodbye i hope you join us again next week in the meantime do be sure to check in with us on instagram facebook twitter or our websites so long for now stay safe and bye bye.
