and the public. interest here explodes tons of mustard waste. still another money. after all the fun is interest cyclable. make up your own mind. w. made for minds. welcome to echo offer the vironment program brought to you from the large area uganda and jam the us always want to take a look at some of the ideas out there for protecting the environment both in europe

and in africa i'm chris celebs in lagos nigeria but 1st a for a while welcome to my co-host sundra. days and hello everybody i am sundra to no good here in kampala uganda and yet a week of i load install for you so do stay tuned and enjoy the show here's a quick preview of what is coming up shortly. simple mike is modest we see how are things in kenya he's protecting both elephant on the forest. we moved an artist in ghana he's bringing a new life into the ground for recycling company. and thinking be how young and to bring us here in uganda a town in the ideas into the reality. laws of floating on water are unlovely sight bought up or to lunch can be something of a pissed when they turn up in the wrong places we've caught a few reports on the trouble want to hyacinth opposed to some communities now on

lake also encounter with your local residents the course of action is a black man with another invested species that is causing a host of problems there. paddling through lake also has become more of a struggle since the subtle venia plants altered his ecosystem sees richard a e a fisherman who grew up in a small community on the shores of the lake the fast growing we block sunlight and depletes oxygen from the water suffocate an aquatic life. 70 a is giving us a lot of trouble. it is affected my fishing. activity on the part that appeared in the past when i went out to fish i would have a good catch for me and my family for me and i thought now it's become really hard for. this morning

a group of local residents from designedly have come together to clear the invasive plants from the main entrance to the lake the villages are worried it will spread to other sections that have not yet been affected lake also is cameron's largest natural lake with a total surface area of nearly 40 square kilometers but it's now infested with what's the most all salvia nearly 40 percent of its surface is called that i see proliferates the plants also threatens the locals livelihoods. a local neighboring monell conservation organization i'm cool regularly organizes the cleanups for 5 years now the team has been striving hard to protect the link from their grass of wheat to find a more efficient solution and restates to coop them has set up a research site in the village he wants to find out if they can use a biological weapon to destroy the water most on a large scale you have

a political system there could be. this small bug feeds on slovenia tests from last year's shoot that you can completely eliminate plans cover in a matter of months i'm cool is already negotiating its deployments with the commute government but they have been concerns in the community due to fears the bug also eats their crops. by logic i can crawl using this salvia weaver has been used in many countries around the world including in 15 countries in africa and the best example is that of senna god they were able to get rid of the outside of the male within a year using the biological control and the way this weaver works is that if it's specific on this sardinia what happened after eating salvia they just died because they have nothing. twice a month the researcher makes the trip from cameroon capital young to work at the

lick accompanied by colleagues and students i'm cool also collects data on the african manatee the least studied large mammal in africa they are shy by nature and activity night sightings are rare in order to detect the creatures location and movements to kuka muses specialised equipment including. the information gained is critical for the conservation of the graceful animals so the reason my team and i working so hard is because we want to save the african american which is being threatened by poor chain which is the illegal hunting of this species and they also create them by accident capture in fishing net their population over or raising and even especially here like also where these trade offs are venus has combined to the home thing making the population to even decrease costs the conservation group regularly sends out volunteers to speak to the local community

the purpose is to inform villages about the importance of proof. the leak and all its natural resources including the manatees they too are struggling to survive. when a manatee gets caught in the net it eats up all the fish even if it's a 100. the problem is due to the fact that manatees don't have access to enough sea grass it's chucked out by the 70 year survey trish many of these community members have lost their source of income because of salvina. local fishermen have plenty of incentive to do all they can to remove the alien plants and prevent sprayed and they hope that aristide to come and his team get the go ahead to introduce the tiny bug that will save the leak by devouring its pesky surface cover for. what an interesting project we

know head to visit some relatives of the money the elephants look at. are amazing creatures. difficult to know because they. can't even destroy an entire. forest. let's take a look. here in the fence and other wildlife are home free without posing a threat to farm us and their livestock living nearby but because they are separated by an electric fence just of. a conservation. human they just the fence and oversaw its construction it's solar powered and has proved to be very reliable. sections of the little forest in the great rift valley . we did about 43.3 kilometers and it's done now. and

now with their walk we're doing now is now the bench and also. says it is a shame to the community so that they can be able to do all it. must citizen is a forest beekeeper one of many here they belong to the community which has practiced beekeeping for hundreds of years the bees are kept in traditional wooden hives and the honey is extracted by hand the keeping is still allowed in the forest looking down trees and hunting are not. now i know when i should come out if we took care of one of the animals in the same way they must look after their cattle or other communities into their livestock crops so we lived off honey and bush meats and live here in the knowledge that this was like our farm quiet tonight when you're to do this and you can call from a family. one of the to protect the forest the indigenous community has been

given land and access to water outside its use of karaoke has now turned to tom a little farming. clinic you are going to come we don't depend on this is us anymore it used to be the kiss this time of the you wouldn't see any greenery here more than the ground would be patched up there with me so you know but it's one of the biggest changes are going to test. now it's green everywhere then vitamin and has really changed there you member women to me claim that the fence is supposed to protect key areas of forest where in full feeds going as rivers the product which receives support from government agencies charitable foundations and the corporate sector has proved a great success and now areas of mountain woodland in other parts of the country are being fenced as will. i know me if you. see.

forest being. spared for the animals and for and farm and so and i'm quite happy to see such an electric fence set up to protect the sound was from going out into the community. and that in turn has protected the community from damage caused by wondering why life. fences are giving big forests the animals living here in the nearby communities the freedom to florence. when on time to an excellent home still up just today glad no one after learning the technique when you're an artist in ghana now creates all sorts of beautiful things in his workshop. just right sundra says there is no professional glass recycling a sorting gonna be found a way of clearing off some of the waste by turning it into other useful objects here's this week's doing your bits.

it's about the one we want our goal to do shows from. her heart. the materials used to make this glowing molten blob came from the garbage. you go through that doctors are wrong everywhere. there's a glass. gonna doesn't have a formal system for collecting and recycling waste glass so a lot ends up in landfills the only certified glass blower in west africa michael taytay works exclusively with recycled glass his craft requires a lot of patience on experience let down grow a little. a little bit of global market would push it doesn't become a. lucrative move too much it will prove numerous steps are required to complete

each unique object which takes a makes in a wide variety of colors hatton's shapes and sizes is i catch in creations of sold in a gallery around 11 year olds each. with pieces are made you can give them any design in the specification and you make it and the color for you also has products and me and we like the fact that he's to waste into usable at a fun. time to ensure that sustainable glassblowing has a few cheering ghana michael takes a also teaches this traditional craft to young people in his workshop passing on his sustainable methods to the next generation of artists. 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.

sharing your story. pretty much the world over these are known to be industrious creatures in english we've been used to chair busy days but like many other insects they are under threats others are for ticks or still overbought region of kosovo is solving your rope their cause official is still working to protect a unique natural habitat one with important pollinators plea a key role. it's usually men who wear this kind of outfits in kosovo they are hardly any female beekeepers in the country shiva shiela is one of them the beekeeping season might be over but she still checks on her charges. regularly. an electric fence protects her hives from the bears that still roam this area near priest ring kosovo's 2nd largest city.

the shire manton's national park just to the south is a refuge for balkan links this species of wild cat is critically endangered there are only a few dozen of them left. sheep or shall or has 150 beehives she's the boss and her husband works for her that's quite an unusual set up but it works for them. i'm positive one in the all we like to do things systematically. i start from one and. my husband starts from the other. we like to compete. it's kind of a game to see who can check more beehives. today it looks like a toy once the inspections are done charlotte takes care to extinguish the coal in

her smoker which is used to come the bees a forest fire could have disastrous consequences. she doesn't have any trouble finding buyers for her organic honey. it sells for twice the price of the honey sold at street side markets beekeeping she breeding and she's making are an important part of the economy in kosovo the youngest and smallest nation in the balkans. shallow went abroad to study organic farming methods. nowadays environmental activists come to see her to learn how she applies organic methods to be keeping. the aim is to raise awareness across kossovo of eco friendly farming practices. i attended a workshop in germany i learned a lot about animal welfare which nobody here knows anything about i'm now giving courses to pass on this knowledge i hope people will come to realise we have to

protect me. and that includes b.s. they are so important for the environment. nature conservation can be an uphill battle. in kosovo and neighboring albania hydro power plants are still widely considered an eco friendly way to generate electricity but building more of them alongside illegal timber felling would further shrink the habitats of endangered species such as bess lynx and wolves. sheepish alice says most of the people don't realise what is going on they're just not aware of the issues but she wants to change that. we have to pay more attention to our natural environment especially in the national park this also affects my business. if forest clearance and everything that goes along with it is

allowed to go on i will eventually lose my. because of it gained independence in 2008 it's only natural she says that it will take a while for such a young country to sort things out she. remains optimistic. back to africa now to meet a man here in the large area who believes that farming should be both sustainable and profitable something or bully has declared war on the concept of soft cisterns farming where farmers plant a small plot of land and just about make ends meet a few years ago he lost a training campaign aimed at revolutionizing small scale farming with hydroponic agriculture. samson or bullis sees agribusiness as the root of sustainable development and job creation the head trainer at farm that in a good state southwestern nigeria believes agriculture must be business minded

technology driven and climate smart the 38 year old is also keen to pass on his knowledge to others. remember if you practice. for practice i agree business you're on the on the road to wealth so what is. grandfather deeds and. how rich was your grandpa. how rich. you know if they are not wealthy how can the poor system make you rich. over the past 7 years has trained over 10000 young nigerians for him agriculture is no way to make a quick buck and requires a hands on approach. a lot of people and i realize not everybody has the amounts to pay for training now you don't want people to going to agriculture without being properly trained if not they would waste money time with

the resources so i figure out find i am setting up more farms what if i give people the opportunity to walk. at the same time so instead of looking for money to pay for your lesson fee for your land if we are all of that. for free and actually set up a farm farmers like gloria oil lobby you hope to scale up their agribusiness using the hydroponic method this uses water rich in nutrients instead of soil this makes planting and harvesting possible regardless of season. why because it's less to us and to. almost. almost. all if and i say. students built this growing patch during

a one week program they learned how to set up a soil or scare a planet from nutrients laden mist nourishes the plants which makes maximum use of area and fertilizer. from an opposite principle if you follow the principle you can apply to many plants you want to develop on your farm so for the trial system you where you want to set up the trial for the plant. and you always great about the way for workers to do for obviously. some sign of the dollar and this farm team are convinced solace farming could be a blueprint for sub-saharan african countries to feed themselves sustainably and profitably. with the number of students increasing daily plans to grow his training programs across nigeria. whoa amazing what they're doing on the next report is also about training young people 1st time

you've got not far from where you all sundra compiler what's going on there well the program is meant to show how business opportunities and jobs can be created while on the same time protecting our planet and its resources we've visited london cab that encourages young people to turn their visions into reality and we met some pretty inspiring entropy. our house collapsed and will only be able to when mother died from the injuries from suffered so i turned my pin food post into a motivation i never knew that what i'm doing will turn this big to me and to the environment. i fought and i want i thought discriminated because of my often fall from malaria i am now part of the solution in my country to people each of the vision joy another got produces something with

a sin that propels mosquitoes according to the un every 2 minutes a child under the age of 5 dies of malaria. even if i'm not saving all the kids that are suffering right now i am placed there ones that i can join america is a founder and director of the green business apps like africa which believes i was out of recycled plastic boat was come from another guy graduates of the social you know vision academy for short. it's located in the town of one p.g. about 30 kilometers south of uganda's capital kampala. here young people including oftens and street kids learn how to devolve their ideas into successful businesses due to recover 1000 pandemic only a few students are currently able to attend classes on campus especially in uganda people are not prepared to work together to present themselves to ask critical

question on solutions on answers and we are learning that. and that's why often not everybody will become an entrepreneur but many of our scholars as well that have been have found jobs. one of the solutions latest to kampala we have plastic questions a huge problem 350000 tons of trash accumulate in the ugandan capital every year and only half of it is disposed of. much of the plastic lands on these trash dump recycling isn't common here john may recover mark pays young trash collectors to double to use that he can use to build houses. every time i come here and. give some money to other people to break up with locally all keeping our environment to give me a lot of hope that even the future then that is what will it mean hold it hold the planet that we we have done all we have protected from plastic with.

us is pressed into plastic bottles to make bricks many women work for government's business giving them the chance to on their own money. cover must seize their house is a cool inside even on hold days his business has already constructed more than 100 buildings using over 3000000 plastic bottles in the process. due to the coronavirus pandemic commissions have slowly but there is funding coming in from abroad we are revising different solutions on the we are going to be able to survive a company also good some people who support us for example we go with some funding from ikea. that decided to support us and especially. so another guy has brought in a few bars of soap one of the women who supply how with them dress

a key ingredient in our product. before the coffee $1000.00 prices no regard charge tourists on hold. but now that they are hardly any tourists she has expanded her business online i have a vision to make my. face i have made africa instead of running away from it to make it a better place. if my mother huppenthal. i know it will be productive me. i'm sure she would it is good to be reminded that looking out to the environment you should do well that's all we had for you today thank you all for changing us so long for me. here in kampala until next time. but for now sun dress always was a pleasure hosting the show with you also remember you can find out more about of
