against correct and dictatorship, the hope for more security, more freedom and more dignity have their hopes been fulfilled. 10 years after the error of spring, rebellion starts june 7th on dw me the the painting on where you leave the world can feel crowded at times. even out in nature, but in some cases, just a little careful planning and coordination can make a big difference in quality of life. for all creatures. both big and small, well come to visitation of africa. i'm chris alone. illegals nigeria. how the

crease out? nice to see you again. i am sandra to you here in compiler, uganda. and yes, today we'll be looking out a couple of ways to get more from lace. he's a quick look out what is good for you installed on the program. we will see how 4 points can be used to produce energy, as well as the delicious chocolate lung. how forming our gate out. fish together help produce better for you and visit other centers that are adjusting to changes in mobility. did you know that fresh water mixed up less than 3 percent of us water supply. but at almost half of all fish lead in fresh water lakes, rivers, bones on with lines. some people think ought to lead to attention, is paid to these fishes to the detriment or fish diversity of us report, texas to south africa where walk is on the way to raise awareness on behalf of local water dwellers the

on a mission with a weight seat and an underwater camera, marine biologist, jeremy shelton from cape town, wants to bring people closer to the fascinating role, the freshwater fish, and wound them of the risk of losing all this. i'm passionate about bringing some of these amazing creatures and these amazing stories that i see unfolding underwater, up into the public, to allies and interests and why their friends live up red or why they get these little bumps on their snots to spock. a curiosity within south africa, the public about the ecosystems that have remained pretty hidden until recently south africa has cape region is home to many species of fresh fish, half of which are found nowhere else. but the presence of predatory invasive

species like bass and trout, as well as the use of river walker irrigation purposes, had placed in mainstream on these ecosystems. and the creatures which call them home globally fresh water fish have become one of the most threatened groups of animals on the planet. a group of organisms that are becoming more and more scarce foster than just about any other on earth. and here in south africa, the situation is no different. according to a recent report, a 3rd of all freshwater fish globally are threatened with extinction. the aim so use of cape nature are trying to save species in the western cape. their tongues is to preserve biodiversity throughout the province. they collect and analyze data as one is work with log landowners. however, fresh water environments present

a unique conservation challenge. protecting facial thinking rivers is so difficult because that their lead long, you know, longer you know, systems and they've always upstream and downstream. and it's not like a terrestrial conservation where you can put up a game thanks and say, you know, the species who want stays on this side of the things and the ones we don't say on that side. and the information collected by nature and other organizations has not been collated in any way. now the team of jeremy shelton's fresh water research center hopes to improve access to this vital data by a single platform. we've been bringing data collected by a range of different organizations from across south africa and making those data accessible for decision making for conservation planning with the end goal and beta, conserving of freshwater bought over city and ecosystems. but for that to happen, it's necessary to raise awareness of the problem in a small urban car, in cape town,

facilitators from the fresh water research center. i'm showing students how to run a basic scientific health check on the river here for the water. and it's not just about the fish. the project is teaching young people to gauge rivers health by looking for other indicators. species such as dragon flies and kettle flies when the idea is to show them just how interconnected this species are in this ecosystem generation. as a generation that's going to have to leave this world right now. so we have to understand how this stuff works and i have to understand how we can fix it and how we can. i think it's doing these kind of things make you realize how important it is and realize how important it is for your mental health and how much you love it . and it just gives you more dr. the task isn't going to get any easier in the future. in addition to all the other threats, global warming could also endanger these ecosystems and lead to the extinction of species before the end of the century. where we're actually sitting right now

is one of the last lowland rivers in this part of the world that still has healthy, fresh fish populations that still has enough clean water in summer to support these fish. and its places like this that i think are so important because they can remind us what a healthy river looks like. and they can inspire us to promote healthy rivers. here in south africa. and throughout the world. as a semi arid country, it is essential force of africa to conserve its fresh water ecosystems and the unique species within them. oh, chris is indeed adequate please in order to thrive, not just on the water button land too. but suddenly, humans often how be all ideas about what constitutes proper long futures. sandra will also see an example of that in kenya. but after what seems like decades

of commerce of conservation, could it be that the table is turning elephant, traversing humana sanctuary. crucial wildlife corridor close to amble. silly national park, this land is communally owned by local most by rising in the distance mound, killing men gyro africa's highest p someone. county family have lived here for generations. he and many of them a size support a local conservation program, a lead feel end to the program. so the elephants can safely follow their establish routes as hers, the messiah benefit, by maintaining access the large areas of grazing land for their cattle. but last year, so much by sold their plots to an agri business, specializing and avo coronado cultivation, one with jeremiah lush. it's our right blue one. the one on,

instead of leasing this agricultural land to consumption people because they are being how cunningly the possible 6, the cost of lung by you are going to be paid and printed out. and you have a funding. i want to go to the head of another nest human in basically need. so if you want to cut, you can make a lot of money. but i, because farming requires a huge amount of water. critics, one, it could upset the balance of the local ecosystem. and deprive them aside, the livestock and wildlife of the water, they rely on getting more of a duet with farming. the only benefit a few people. it will only benefit which companies like with and why that are worth billions and they can afford to purchase a car to worth $20000000.00 kenyon selling. unlike them, a psi, who can bailey afford control for whole kenya's environmental agency has since

intervened and pulled the agree businesses license. and while the company has challenge with decision conser and the fake such cultivation could be devastating, dennis of having had up please. but there is another family come up to the same and the woman who is trust, you just count elephant execution i'm most for when it can but it may never come to that. the company's low have been rejected relief for the conservation of hold on. and they're willing that in that initial i'm most most importantly, this is a will be fine. national, one left. not the same way people, but up to the course elephant. the fight didn't move from that. you lose city

to do you mind get back to picking up and we have a few a few investors within the area. what means that when he told him not sending and we have potential, the ruling protects not only the future of the elephant in the moth i heard. it also proves that active conservation programs can both stand up to and win against economic interest. now that's certainly encouraging and not just for the elephants, there are plenty of people will also tend to keep puff with open and fluid in cities to the believe about mobility could be more efficient, more sustainable, and certainly held. the next report comes from the german capital berlin. their vehicles may vary in form and color, but these multi wheels demonstrators in berlin have a common goal. they're calling for more car, free cycling, bruce,

more pedestrian zones, and generally fewer cars in the city. it's been said and i think there's enough infrastructure for motorized transport via and that's what we need is to make more provision for cycling. we need to fight for a greener berlin. we know that in the berlin government has adopted some new transport policies in recent years. adding cycle lanes and converting some streets into bike and pedestrian zones. c would come after this, say it's not enough to improve the quality of air and life. they organized a petition to allow berliners themselves to decide the future of city center traffic in a referendum. you can either all the 10s of thousands of people who live here could have a say in developments. and in addition to things being much quieter and greener, it was more. it would also be

a public space. the paper could use and not jammed full of hard switch. the dentist stayed with them. also in many parts of the world, urban centers are already being transformed. the increase in online shopping in recent years has led to a drop in business for many retail stores. a trend exacerbated by the pandemic. a lot of commercial space and parking lot now stand empty. that's prompted architect to reimagine urban planning and mobility. life cited most of those lines. it's important to kates, isabelle, living and working in the city some get done. that's the only way to reduce the amount of commuter traffic in pen effect. this former to hartman store in the center of one german city was converted into an apartment building with shops, comprising a pedestrian friendly zone and in berlin. this building was

likewise designed for people who don't used cars. it has shops, studios for artists, apartments and offices to all designed for living and working under one roof. passers by can see inside. flower beds are also an intentional feature. cities like copenhagen have shown it's possible to exclude cars from city centers, reserving them for pedestrians and cyclists. only in the times square portion of new york's broadway has been converted into a traffic free zone with st cafes designed by danish city planners. the and paris wants to plant hundreds of trees on the shore, a and around the arctic homes, while also taming traffic. and there's still a long way to go for berlin, but activists there do have some clear goals. what we want to do is we want to

create the world's largest auto reduced area in the world. so that's 85 square kilometers. really, it's about asking people what they want to do. environmentalists are also fighting plants for a highway running through the city to be extended because that would take the city a step backwards rather than forwards. thicken with mobility, cos sharon was held up a step in the right direction when it was 1st thing to use on the largest scale, not so very long ago. now a group of people in another, german city have picked up the idea, taken it to on even more eco friendly level. here is this weeks doing your bits? the c o 2 emissions from cars are one of the major drivers of climate change. so finding alternative means of transport is vital for

our planning people from the germany initiative, transition town by doing just that they provide cargo bikes to anyone, free of charge. most of the bikes work with them, like motor people reserve, the bikes via an online platform. and can pick them up at 6 different locations and kind of for me, it's a small way to help combat climate change to have an alternative to buses, trains, and cars. people always talk about how hard it is to do something for the climate of it. but with this project it's actually really easy. people use the cargo bikes instead of cars when they go shopping or need to transport larger items. the members of the initiative are all volunteers and the bikes are mainly funded through donations. the 3 wheelers are now much seen and love

sight in the city. and tell about you, if you are also doing your bit, tell us about visit our website. so send us the tweet, the hash tag, doing your research, ask yours to raise those cargo blacks loop really robust at a great way to give you legs to work out. the another thing i like about the project is that it is community based and operated. he own a co op rica, we've seen quite a few examples of just how much smoke will pre tease, can accomplish if need crease. one of those is in ivory course was the biggest produce of cocoa beans. but the reason much profit, actually, that goes to the farmers, although the marketable took place, is forming a woman school party fit to bring more balance into the business model. and the weeping incredible results. happy lead to the environment is profiting to

typically considered the domain of men. there used to be no role in the cocoa harvest for these women. but now they're farming and producing themselves. juliet glossy founded a cooperative with women in her own village and the southern part of ivory coast. its aim is to produce cocoa being more sustainably. and to use them for making more than just chocolate. and that was, it was almost nothing is thrown away. you see that we start with and when we select the sticky pulp which is never used in cocoa production, we add flavors and spices to it, which is unusual and innovative. the women use the juice from the palm to make products such as labor and cocoa beans and the husks to make tea. water. 40 local women who have joined the cooperative are now earning an income for themselves and their families. not so much for 15. i used to only work

occasionally when i didn't make much money for the moment that since i joined the co operative that's changed. yeah. well i can earn the equivalent of 4 years 50 every day. i'm happy because thanks to the co operative, i'm now independence of the majority of ivory coast 26000000 population work in the agricultural sector. 40 percent of the world's cocoa comes from the west african country every year, around $25000000.00 tons of shells and bean husks end up in garbage dumps or are burned. producing more goods from is good for the environment and enables families in the village to earn more from their harvest. we because this is key for fairport, i believe we need to increase the value of our coco will not to give it more credibility overall. if you can fit with my approach, it is the women who are involved in this aspect,

please don't give out. their inclusion will make a real difference here. they will improve the cocoa value chain problem i something to until now was the province of men. julia glossy is making a delivery to a small shop and be sure that sales the cooperative products, the flame for cocoa beans, spice mixes and t. the german development agency, g. c, helped to establish the contact among the organizations activities is supporting sustainable initiatives to secure farmers livelihoods across africa. she can be a role model for other women when it comes to expanding that coca processing and developing new products. so julia glossy has an apartment and i'll be john in the kitchen. she cooks up her products and experiments with new ideas. the inspiration strikes when i'm in my kitchen. when i start one recipe and idea for

another one pops into my head. i don't know why it just comes naturally and julia quasi is idea of getting more from cocoa pines is catching on. the ivory coast government is in the process of building a bio mass power generation plant that will turn the country's abundance of poker production waste into electricity. now that is what i call efficient, putting organic waste. good. our next report offers another take on how you can accomplish 2 things at once if you put your mind in it. but in this case, it's not about using ways to produce energy. a couple of enterprise in people is gonna have formed a way to make something st. even. we've help over simple organism. these mangos, a looking good. joyce meant there has been treating her trees with organic fertilizes,

made from gay. she grows herself the plants and now less susceptible subjectivity of black sport diseases, and their food is tasty. a, to changing that lies us to get water. we see that it is good and it gives us much more food and much more healthy ones because we are no more using the chemicals. many farmers here in south it's been gone. rely on at official specializes in pesticides. so did joyce mensa, until she had about an equal equivalent system developed in the voltage region by 2 west africa and entrepreneurs. each of the $24.00 pools on their farm contains its own small ecosystem. these aquatic plans, our plans that the fish know from nature. so the cars use them voraciously,

and they are very healthy. now, is significant the part about the aquatic plants, because that is what makes the algorithm we produce unique and powerful. because these aquatic plans provide the bees new trent from which the alga is called v to civil served a dual purpose. to grow all gave a fertilizer and res fish for food. and frederick come back, says the what is clean? i really don't have a problem getting concerned about desertification and so degredation in the region. the business partners spent years developing their idea. we have seen that soil be integrated using on horse some nutrients for, for farming. and it's causing a huge problem and for the environment as well for the quality of food. but it has

to be affordable enough to make going are gone, ik attractive to farmers. the fertilizer which sells for 50 percent was a roughly 7 years sense inexpensive yet. many farmers still needs persuaded. a farming cooperative in a nearby village has a serious problem with sol, degradation. a go much you de, when new talk to members about the organic method, but many a skeptical one. they mentioned the difficulty of transporting heavy canisters to water, the plant once a week, but the way new insist that the pros outweigh the con. like blood dummy? yeah, throw the, come across the wash into our what were these which are fritz? i was the, the fishing the water and also people do doing the thing with that. the

police said by dr. over to farm. so it is having a lot of problems and difficulties in the environment. and we do have selling these were some crops. don't come october because of the comic house was not far from the farming cooperative marine biologist called yachts he has spent, he has conducted his own research. he believes the i'll gave eliza has the potential to turn ghana and africa as a whole into a hub for organic agriculture production of r d that is integrated with fish, a very cost effective way of producing cheap and red de, available for laser, for crop reduction ah,

it could in future be on or tentative to the constant conventional that lays out not this out. the light joyce meant that is completely sold on a new approach. she started producing monger juice, since you now have a more and best quality fruits. at the moment, the juices only stored locally, but if all goes well, she hopes to be able to expand her market in the future. i'm afraid the time has come to say goodbye. we hope you had an amazing time with the program. and of course be sure to join us again next week for now. i am sandra queen, over here in compiler. you gone to the ticket and the been so long sandra. and to all of us, all, if you have any comments or when to find out more about environment issues take, i'll also shoot me the channels and don't forget to send in your feedback. we'll all is happy to hear from you. this is for
