they know that the road is not a solution. they know their flight could be going back. not an option. peace ma, i'm on and but they are stuck in the spanish border area. alongside other young people there waiting for a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts june 18th on d, w the the, me the hello and welcome to this new edition of echo africa. the environment show brought to you by mtv and uganda. gemini, is dr. villa and channel cv right here in syria. i am christ alone with me today as

always as my co presenter sandra. hi, this is sandra. hey, grease, it is good to be here once again. so today we'll hear about some marable examples of activism in auction. so let's get started with a quick look at what we have coming down. the conservation is in uganda, fight to prevent destruction of the rain forest. the rest of the brock get some much needed support in king as bushland and a young man in walla. her name is paul from demik with illegal deforestation is destroying entire ecosystems statistic. sure. that more than 1500000000 people depend directly on the was forest beat for food, for medical products over their livelihoods. africa alone is home to over 15 percent of the plan it's forest cover,

but it is drink despite numerous protective measures. now, an organization right here in uganda called the friends of walker, is among those butler to save the rain forest, but is too easy and those involved pay a high price. oh, in william of mine who only feels uneasy when he comes here to check for in 2 days his efforts to protect the forest have worn him enemies. his entire family has been treated. this is my brother's house. he has lived here full of 4. yes. but then seems when the breakfast collated, he decided because of his own safe schools to leave home the treaty mood and chuckling from zuka forest has increased. the timber here is highly sought after william a man who has been 2 years fighting illegal logging in the area. if he is of trees

being felt legally, he mo, straight into action. the law got came here and of the district, 56. what you see the guys will do this not quite well connected with our they have money. the also, you know, they direct features of this country. what is to be done among the root documents, the illegal logging and report it to the authorities. if they don't respond, he publishes the test is on his online platform. friends, obviously he has many supporters together. the try to keep the issue in the public eye because we cannot have access to these are the courts of law or the systems because most times the bid with the logo. so we choose to go to the court of public opinion. if i take your picture on foot here and they say you will laga when the, some of the evidence, like when it decrypts on the new republican, the son you a month or so, fans most of these work. but once in a while,

he receives donations from supporters, most of whom live locally. zocker is a tropical forest that covers the 10 square miles. each reach made a radically include a fresh water revise that feed directly into the africa was a longest river. it's a century for abundant whiteness, but this logically important site has lost almost half its forest cover in the last 15 years, due to illegal logging, capital bonnie and they need for more farmland. among the root is seeking to sensitize local communities in the hope the join he school is influencing public opinion is best hope of if and change is especially keen to reach the younger generation there while we are struggling, belongs to them. so we are trying to ship that idea that you know, let's live in harmony with mitchell this morning that tom, when he feels a long way off among the room,

is wanted by the police in his hometown. i do money to answer charges related to his work. i have a police bond that i've been starving since january, and today's my reporting day to police. this could be my last day of my freedom offsite. i don't know if they are finished with your investigations. among the rule is accused of will be live in villages to impound chocolate from suspected illegal dealers. the purported on the capital sees it was not over $6000.00, and that among the rule, simpler toys the conservation, it has already done several stains in trees on for his work. but on reaching the police a month that the plaintiff has dropped the charges after 5 months of investigation, the police use the information given the amazon route to arrest the real property. it has a book the 1st time it was brought to even the pins in the prison started

for a long time. illegal loggers really had to justice or when, when it but clearly change is offered. i really feel excited. i mean, i feel that my freedom buck and i feel empowered my work that remains dangerous for his family. his supporters and above was for him. a powerful example of what one look initiative can accomplish. and if he's never too early to start fighting for what you believe in gretta fun back, was just 15. why? she started calling for strong auction on climate change outside the british parliament. and as we all know, or her protests evolved into the global movement, fridays for future. gloomy protection is just a matter of odyssey to the young people all over the world. in fact,

one group in portugal has well even taken their constance to court. this site leaves claudia to augustine, you, speechless. she can still remember when everything here was green. but ever since the wildfires the pines are all dead, it makes me very sad to see such an amazing place that was destroyed by the fires. and this is disease, very symbolic because it means that it will keep happen. if nothing gets done, this will keep happening in other places from, from our planet. and we should fight to change that. the wildfires right through portugal often in 2017 defies, claimed the lives of some 120 people and were deemed the worst in living memory. as each summer becomes hotter and dryer than the last, the risk of devastation rises. 2

claudia blamed the climate crisis. that's why the nursing student from larry are north of lisbon is stepping up the pressure. but since her voice wasn't being heard enough on the streets, she took her case to the european court of human rights and food, half of europe. i'm taking this case against 33 countries because one day i want to be in a world that's healthy and with no danger. cloudy is fellow plaintiff's, her siblings and her 3 friends. her brother, my team, is 18 and suffers from asthma. they say more and more people are getting sick from the increasing heat and fires with climate change. breathing problems will just get worse and people like me will get better just it's going to get worse and worse. the parents are supportive of the most to reason motor is 47 years old

and grew up in germany. she says she has moved to care for in life. what can understand her children's concerns for the future? that's why she is glad that the judges in strasbourg have classified the case as urgent. 7 can i have a little girl? she's only 9 once. what will her life be like as missing guilty of all this? i didn't really do anything by just calling. i didn't contribute to the crisis. well, knock the doctrine to me, but i also didn't think about it as fight. it was like my kids when i feel bad about that, there is no loss. it's like this was the irish human rights organization, global legal action network specializes in the strategy of the lawyer jerry list and his team was risky with the european court of human rights could have referred to national judicial channels. but the judges have admitted these young people with case,

or wherever they failing to adopt the necessary emissions reductions and policies that are needed to avoid these catastrophic consequences. governments are effectively discriminating on the basis of age. they are placing a young generations greater risk of future harm. it remains to be seen when a verdict will be reached. for now, the $33.00 states charged a still fighting against the law suit, climate change, and habitant loose or pushing more and more species to the brink of extinction. a number of global initiatives are speaking to address the issue, but often it is a smaller local project focusing on a particular species that see the most success. those right sandra, because they include the people who live in the area like the women of some rural

community in kenya. they're on the mission to see or a species of zebra from being lost for good. shortly after dawn affairs glimpse of grievous zebras. the presence of general tallie, and have troop doesn't seem to bother the animals who are normally shy. here into some blue origin of central kenya, the so called women scouts on patrol to determine how far is a breast range the organization. grievous zebra trust has trained more than 20 young women to monitor the world's most threatened to the bus pieces 40. when i leave home, i fill out a data sheet to show where my truly starts, and then every 30 minutes, i feel in the gps detail, i'm up and to show where any file seems the breast. at the end of the day, the organization uses that data to track the routes where i have not told love it

or not got to do with the a the not much. 40 years ago, there were 15000 grievances, the breast and king are alone. not there are fewer than 3000. they live in one of the driest parts of the country that the breast cancer via for up to 5 days without water. so the flourished in these conditions where there was no competition from other animals. but now humans have begun to settle here and be a head animals in the grass. things have changed from nor mondays him where it's used to my drills for one place to another. giving the lambda following it for it to cover the way with medical, mainly the small say that the pastoral community is rely 1000000 votes and cow due to the presence of the nearby river demons in anamosa, increasingly occupying the same areas and food is growing scarce, longer dry periods caused by global woman destroying more and more pasta land

increase in the pressure on the zebras and your echo system. for years, fetal a lump are, has been working with local cattle farmers. he believes they can co exist peacefully with the press that they're able to get some media subsidized aggressively stuff those 8 got us some griffing areas that they utilize way speak to the bus. great, tough buster. and so it's a way of freshening posture is. i will for making sure that this way existant between lester and wildlife eroded areas being replanted to benefit all parties that women in the communities play. a key role in this influence can assure that the next generation will continue to value death. quick things. head animals loosened the soil on the pasta lands, then semicircular embankments are constructed around areas. grass could start

growing again. the after the little available rain water and directed onto the fields that some born women turn out invasive. a kiss. yeah, trees to useful filed grass and other plants grow indefinitely. this way. $600.00 head this of pastor land, i reclaimed each year. the area that we started with was in a missing response where there are no glasses, stuff, and stuff yet over the years have come back. that's still an indication that this method is working. traditions are important to assemble real people. the regions only braver the women give ritual tongues for the water and purchase into rosy ceremonies. and got the central to the into rosie ceremony is the message of respective cards and also communicate to the rest of the community. the importance of our conservation wet and plant greece and never went into that, alec,

yes. did it out. once i was discuss said yeah, efforts have led to greater acceptance of the zebras. and that has benefits for all world could be controlled the movement of livestock and he can eat together with his e brace. so does the rest on wander off instead of pasta? look, this up trucks, taurus to the region, the tories increase jobs and best re swap children. that was one of the approval, not future generations of local people provided with education and training could build up in meter recess, where they previous zebra population could recover and thrive. ensuring universe, the access to energy by 2030 is one of the lots of missions sustainable development goals. now, while progress has been made international, the soft sovereign offers are still last week behind. now many areas, i don't know that since the all only fall few hours

a day and 90 percent of the regions energy comes from 40 fields. well one man on gola has come up with a way of generating its own clean energy. yeah . i can give her in a lives in touch, she doing golda electricity is hard to come by here. so he decided to build his own generator. it's powered by an unlikely source. organic waste. building his generator was no easy feat for the young inventor. i don't know what you meant. the main difficulty i've been facing is financial much because i need to buy metal and plastic supplies last year. if i'm another difficulty is funding for technical training in electronics and digital projects.

for my phone, this will allow me to develop my projects better. i cannot. well my new account was i didn't want to be gills. community has a rubbish problem. it accumulates too quickly and there are not enough storage facilities, but the waste is essential for me. goes machine to work. so the generator also helps clean the community, has to store the waste properly before he puts it in the generator. so that it won't harm the environment. and tell about you, if you're also doing your bit, tell us about his visit our website. oh, send us the tweet. hash tag, doing your with your dual res,

hers oceans are among the earth, most valuable, not your resources. they cover more than 70 percent of the planet, so face help filled the world. and of course provide jobs for millions of people. oceans also have a big influence on weather and clean the air. what pollution is took in these important waters and heavy metal contamination is reaching alarming levels, especially in coast regions. now, pretty scientists help but a small shellfish can help big the ocean. a little cleaner along, gosh, shoreline, the off the decades of near absence, scientists want to see whether your pin flat toys does could once again thrive in the soul and a branch of the english channel. 3 years ago, luc helmer from the university of portsmouth released le raised oysters into the sea. but it was about a lot more than just restoring oysters to the area. again. this will say the water

quality is all each adult oil and filter and the region around 152200 leaf is a day. but pollution that over fishing have decimated the numbers. the introduction of the pacific hoist to make things even worse. the 2 species were supposed to compliment each other, but instead the pacific oysters took over is definitely the need for human intervention because the majority of the impact has been human related and say the research is looking to make amends. ph. d, student monica fabric monitors, the artificial oyster bats and archery. we have a big chunk where we keep our choices and every day we have them, we check the mortality and we measure them don't always does on their own, withstand little chance and the see. they need to protect a space where they can grow and something to talk home to like the shells of other

oysters. making then is in the half say, is here environment and we can control and we can ensure that they survive until the very end of the production. they may, the scientists raise the water temperature by a few degrees, just happens in nature. a signal to the oysters, to start reproducing the males release the sperm into the water, and the females released if enough lobby has hatched. they'll be brought here among stone. harbor is the area that we're going to be deploying our largest race. so over the next few years, as we begin developing more successful assessment though, go into an area just stop here, which is protected from fishing as well. the test results are promising. since these pages have been on the sea floor, ill see horses and backs have been spotted again to the notices. i wasn't ecosystem engineer so they can't stay environment. they're restored to that

they were present intended by diversity. we know that roughly around 466 different species have been associated with the native oyster here in the silent so far, we've identified 125 of those on some of the work we've been conducting. the team hopes to release up to 1000000 oysters in the coming year, provided the carefully formed oysters produce enough larvae bump to these content. now it says off because energy comes almost exclusively from coal fired power plants, which is a major factor behind the rise in cases of pollution in other areas. but the government has announced plans to significantly increase the use of renewable energy sources within our tickets. yes, it sounds like an a vicious plan but doable. according to bring cape south africa, a non profit organization that works to support innovative brainstorms if precise

need these young companies that are respected to ensure so africa, not cheese is environmental goals. in 2019 the critique heights academy school in cape town, when sola without paying for the installation. the system was financed by a crowd funding platform. the idea small investors by panels and earn an income from selling the electricity to the school that is using them. sofa abraham cambridge has crowd funding platform equipped nearly $45.00 schools and companies within 5 years they and to have more than $200.00 additional systems installed. if you want to put money in solar panels for an environmental reason, put them in south africa, you're offsetting 8 times the carbon emissions. but the parent here, it's africa then 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 us all of our way more social, environmental, and economic impact. and for the school,

the soda energy is cheaper than power from the grid with investments when as little as 4 years, some exchange is also open to people with less income. in fact, many of the pupils are pretty heights invested in the so to sell themselves. wendy horn is the schools form a principal, she says that aside from clean, cheap energy, the project also brings another benefit. so we launched that your kids were so excited to actually get involved in entropy neural, see and actually by cells themselves and see how the money would increase or decrease. what do you mean was created a huge, interpret neural excitement and then also what do you want to teach our children for the future to pinero skills, innovative models to fund and produce green energy. and she needed in south africa, where roaming, blackouts are a common occurrence. the government aims to produce a quarter of all electricity from renewables by 2030. some innovators are also

looking to the ocean for health. simon vein best company developed an underwater pump powered by the oceans. ways. it turns salt water into drinking water while producing a constant source of energy that could power up to 10 european households all year round. there's always energy. if we such, yes, we're looking at a whole range of waves that have come from different areas. there's a lot of stuff that's produced lightly by the local wind, but there's an enormous amount of energy that come from storms that could be thousands of miles away. the wave pump is tied to a boy that lives with each wave. the leader movement pressurize this water to purify it and generate electricity. at the same time. for years, the pressure type 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're very confident that these systems are going to be a big part of the solution. and future is not routing outsider or when we can conjunction with them. the, the challenges with, with the ocean is that it's an expensive system to develop when there's very little funding available. so that's why it's taken so long to get where it has to do with sufficient funding. the company could start to build larger palms that would feed into the power grid. that would be another step towards making south africa is energy mix, greener. we hope you enjoyed the show. we've given you some ideas and inspiration. that's all for the time. i'm chris, the lamps. finding the from lagos, nigeria. i'm already looking forward to next week. i couldn't agree with you more crease it is a good buy for me here in compiler. uganda. don't forget to check out of social
