the rest you're facing and the heroes taking a stands is not important to make up the global $3000.00 theories starts june 21st on d, w. the me the hello and welcome to these new edition of echo africa. the environment show brought to you by mtv and uganda, gem, these dots vela and channels t v right here in the area. i am chris alone with me today as always as my co presenter sandra. hi, did sandra. hey, priest, it is good to be here once again. so today we'll hear about some,

a marable examples of activism in auction. so let's get started with a quick look at what we have coming up with conservation is in. you're going to find that to prevent destruction of the rain forest. a ras. this is deborah, get some much needed support in can use bushland and a young man in walla. her name is paul from demik with illegal deforestation is destroying anti ecosystems statistic shows 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 doing blink despite numerous protective measures. now, an organization right here in uganda called the frame worker,

is among those bottling to save the rain forest. but it's too easy. and those involved pay a high price. oh, in, in william who only fears uneasy when he comes here to acquaint his efforts to protect the forest have worn him enemies. his entire family has been treated. this is my brother's house. you have to leave the he fall of a for yes, but then seems wendy for exist, collated. he decided because office on 50 to leave home the trade in wood, in charcoal from local 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 most straight into action. the law guys came here and i rested district. what

you see here, the guys would do these not quite well connected with our fellows with power. they have money. the also, you know, they direct security 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 cases on his online platform. friends over will come. 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 log us where we choose to go to the court of public opinion. if i take your picture and put here, i may say you will laga when the sum of the evidence, iconic decreed son of any republican, the son you a month or so, fans most of his 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. its reach me and the varsity

includes a fresh water revise that feed directly into the new africa was a longest re. well, it's a century for abundant politeness. but this includes equally important site as last, almost half its flourish cover in the last 15 years, due to illegal logging, capital bonnie and i need 4 more farmland. amazon route is seeking to since it was local communities. in the hope the join his school is influencing public opinion is his best hope of if he can change is especially keen to reach the younger generation there while we are struggling on south belongs to them. so we are trying to ship that idea that you know less live in harmony with mitchell this morning. that's how many fuse 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 one that i've been starving since january,

and today's my reporting day to police. this would be my last day of my freedom outside. i don't know if they are finished with your investigations. among the root is accused of mobilizing villages to empower chocolate from suspected illegal dealers. the purported owner of the chapel sees it was lot over $6000.00, and that a month since his toilet the conservation, he has already done several stains in trees on for his work. but on reaching the police, among the lance that the plaintiff was dropped, the charges after 5 months of investigation, the police use the information given the amazon route to arrest the real proper traitors. i be able to give you the 1st read to 100. it was brought to my friends and you know, just took it for a long time. illegal loggers really had to 1st justice or welcome it,

but clearly change is offered. i really feel excited. i mean, i feel that my freedoms back on, 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 greater fun, but was just 15. why she started calling for strong action on climate change outside the swedish parliament. and as we all so how protests evolved into the global movement, fridays for future climate protection is just a matter of obviously to the young people all over the world. in fact, one group in particular, has well even taken the course and took 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, this is very symbolic because it means that it will keep her. but 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, claims the lives of some 120 people and were deemed the worth in living memory. as each summer becomes hotter and dryer than the last, the risk of devastation rises. 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 sued half of europe. i'm taking this case against 33 countries because one day i want to be in the 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 stopped us 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 law. to read the motor is 47 years old and grew up in germany. she says she has moved to care for life. i 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 care. can. i have a little girl. she's only 9 once. what will her life be like a little missing guilty of all this? i didn't really do anything by just calling. i didn't contribute to the crisis for knock it out to me, but i also didn't think about it a little less 5, it was like my kids on 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, 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 is case, whereas is 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 harmony remains to be seen when a verdict will be raged. for now, the $33.00 states charged, still fighting against the law suit. climate change and habitant laws are pushing more and more species to the brink of extinction. a number of global initiatives are seeking to address that issue, but often it is a smaller local project focusing on a particular species that see the most foxes, those rights 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 are a species of zebra, from being lost for good. the shortly after dawn affairs

glimpse of grievous zebras. the presence of general tallie and her 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 recipes. i think 40. when i leave home, i fill out a little sheet to show where my truly starts, and then every 30 minutes, i fill in the gps data to show where i any 5 seen the breasts. at the end of the day, the organization uses that data to track the routes where i have told naga donna du duluth. yeah. the not much 40 years ago there were 15000 grievances the

breast cancer alone. now there are fewer than $3000.00. they live in one of the greatest parts of the country that the breast cancer by 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 the head, animals in the grass, things have changed from know minus him where to use to my good for one place to another. giving the lambda following it for it to cover the where with medical mentally. the more say that the pastoral community is rely 1000000 votes and cows due to the presence of the nearby river. humans in anamosa increasingly occupying the same areas. and food is growing scarce. longer dry periods caused by global woman destroying more and more pastureland, increasing the pressure on the zebras and your echo system. for years,

peter lumper has been working with local cattle farmers. he believes they can coexist peacefully with his the press. they don't, they're able to get some media placed on aggressively with those 8 of the got us raise some griffing areas. it isn't my euclid way. plus i gave you the tough bus. and so it's a whale frustrating posture. if there was making sure that the quick system between left and wireless eroded areas being replanted to benefit all parties that women in the communities play a key role in this influence can a shorter the next generation will continue to value the quick systems head animals loosened the soil on the pastor lands, then semicircular embankments are constructed around areas where grass could start growing again. the after the little available rainwater and directed onto the fields that some were women to out invasive, our kids, the trees to useful,

filed grass and other plants grow. induct place 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 tradition so important to some blue people are the regions only braver. the women give ritual tongues for the water and pastures into rosy ceremonies, and got the so that you have central to the into rosie ceremony is a message of respect. it's courage. it also communicate to the rest of the community, the importance of conservation with and planned. grecian never went into that other . yes. did it other ones that was discussed? said yeah, efforts have led to greater acceptance of the zebras. and that has benefits for all

will be controlled and movement of livestock, and he can eat together with a zebra. so there's the rest on wonder off instead of pastor this of trucks tories to the region that will get and tories increase johnson best re swap children. that was one of the will not future generations of local people, provided with education and training could build up in meter reserves where the previous zebra population could recover and thrive. ensuring universal access to energy by 2030 is one of the losses mission, sustainable development goals. now while progress has been made international, the soft sovereign offers are still last week behind. how many areas have i done knowing that all only for a few hours a day and 90 percent of the regions energy comes from the feels? well, one man on color has come up with a way of generating its own clean energy. yeah

. i can give her in a lives in touch. she joined golda. electricity is hard to come by here. so he decided to build his own generator. it's powered by an unlikely source for janick waste. building his generator was no easy feat for the young inventor medical development. well, the main difficulty i've been facing is financial marketing 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 realize it would 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. begin to store the waste properly before he puts it in the generator. so that it won't harm the environment. and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about his visitor website. oh, send us the tweet, the hash tag doing your we shall yours to raise 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 just 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, british scientists help but a small shellfish can help make the ocean a little cleaner along shore line. the also decades of near absence, scientists want to see whether you're repeating flat force 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 love raised oysters into the sea. but it was about a lot more than just restoring oysters to the area. again. say the water quality is all each adult oil and filter in the region around 852200 leaf is a warm day. but pollution that i was fishing, have decimated the numbers. the introduction of the pacific oyster 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. so the research is looking to make amends. ph. d, student monica fabric monitors, the artificial oyster bad middle archery. we have a good song where we keep our choices and every day we hit them, we checked the child, you see, and we measure them. young. oysters on their own, withstand little chance in the sea. they need protected space where they can grow and something to talk home to like the shells of other oysters. making then is in the house, is a safe environment. can we turn in control and we can sure that they survive until

the very end of the production. in 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 release that act. if enough lobby has hatched, they'll be brought to long stone harbor is the area that we're going to be deploying our largest scale race over the next few years as we begin developing more successful specimen. so go into an area just stop here, which is protected from fishing as well. the test results are promising. since these pages has been on the sea floor, sea horses and bass has been spotted again. this is a known, this was an ecosystem engineer. so they can't stay environment, they're restored to that they were present, attempted by diversity. we know that roughly around 466 different species have been

associated with the native voice. here in the silent so far, we've identified 125 of those on some of the work that we've been conducting. the team hope to release up to 1000000 oysters in the coming year, provided that carefully farm oysters, produce enough larvae bunk 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 business plan, but doable. according to green cape, a south africa nonprofit organization that works to support innovative. bring start off, is precisely these young companies that are respected to ensure. so africa, not cheese is environment to go. in 2019 the critique heights academy school

and cape town, wind solar 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 equip nearly 45 schools and companies. within 5 years, they plan to have more than $200.00 additional systems installed. so 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 side of her know here it's in 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 us all of our way more social, environmental, and economic impact. and for the school, the solar energy is cheaper than power from the grid with investments from 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 solar cells 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 go interpret neural thing and by sell themselves and see how the money would increase or decrease. what do you mean? it was created a huge, interpret neural excitement and then also what you want to teach. our children for the future is 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 europe, ian households all year round. there's always energy if we set yeah. we looking at a whole range of waves that have come from different areas. there's a lot of stuff that's produced locally by the local winds, but there's an enormous amount of energy that's come from storms that could be thousands of miles away. the way the pump is tied to a boy that live with each wave, the leader movement pressurize is water to purify it and generate electricity. at the same time. for years, the prototype unit was tested under water and is now back in the workshop for some maintenance. 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 working from junction with them. the, the challenges with, with the ocean is that it's of an expensive system. to develop when there's very little funding available. so this is why it's taken so long to get where it has today. 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 so african energy makes greener. we hope you enjoyed the issue. we've given you some ideas on the ration. that's all for the time. i'm chris, the lamps finding off from legal 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 media and environment website. would like to get a voucher visit from you. my name is sandra tree. nobody and i look forward to
