what makes the gen came love batting thing away. i'm not even my own everyone with later holes and every day stuff getting you ready to meet the driver and then join me. rachel, do it on the w. w . the me the. the hello and welcome to this new edition of echo africa. the environment show brought to you by mtv and uganda, gemini, his daughter, vela, and channels tv right here in the area. i am chris alone with me today as always as my co presenter sandra. hi, this is sandra. hey, peace, 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 out. the conservation is in uganda, fight to prevent destruction of the rain forest a rest of their bra get some much needed support in king is the bush land and a young man in walla finance 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 or for their livelihoods. africa alone is home to over 15 percent of the plan it's forest cover, but it is drink despite numerous protective nations. now an organization right here in uganda called the friends of walker,

is among those butler to save the rain forest bod. easy, and those involved pay a high price. oh, in william among the little only fields, an easy when he comes here to to acquaint today. 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 for over 4. yes. but then since when the exist collated, he decided because of his own fiscal to leave home. the trading wood and chuckle from zocker forest has increased. the timber here is highly sought after william a man who has been t as fighting illegal logging in the area. if he hears of trees being filled legally, he most straight into action. the law got came here and i've asked the district specifically what you guys would do. these are quite well connected. these are

fellows with power. they have money. the also, you know, they direct security of this country. what is to be back among the route documents, the illegal logging and reports 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 system because most times the bid with the log that we choose to go to the court of public opinion. if i take your picture and put here, and they say you will laga when the, some of the evidence i clinic, declared son of the new republican, the son you among 0 so fans most of these walk. but once in a while, he receives donations from supporters, most of whom leave locally. zocker is a tropical forest that covers the 10 square miles. its reach me,

the varsity includes a fresh water revise that feed directly into the ne, africa was a longest. it's a century for abundant lately, but this logically important site has lost almost half its forest cover in the last 15 years. due to illegal logging, capital bonnie and the need for more farmland among the root, is seeking to sensitize local communities in the hope the join his school is influencing public opinion is best hope of effect and change is especially keen to reach the younger generation there. while we are struggling to consult 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 monday to answer charges related to his work. i have a police one that i've been solving since january. and today's mighty putting date

to police. this would be my last day of my freedom outside. i don't know if they are finished with the investigations. among the root is accused of mobilizing villages to empower chocolate from suspected illegal dealers. the property on the capital sees it was, was over $6000.00, and that among the rule simpler toilet the conservation. it has already done several stains in trees on for his work, but on reaching the police among the re lance 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 letters. the be able to read to 100 was brought to my friends in the prison just started for a long time. illegal loggers really had to 1st justice. they are well connected,

but clearly change is afford i really feel excited. i feel free. i feel that my freedoms back on, i feel empowered, my one walk that remains dangerous for he's for me. he's supporters and above all for him. a puzzle. if simple, what one look initiative can accomplish. and if he's never too early to start fighting for what you believe in gretel fun, but was just 15, why she started calling for strong action on climate change outside the swedish parliament. and as we all know, her protests evolved into the global movement, fridays for future climate protection is just a matter of our agency to the young people all over the world. in fact, one group in particular, has now even taken the course and to court this site lives, claudia, july, to august in your 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 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, they 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 worth in living memory. as each summer becomes hotter and dryer than the last, the risk of devastation rises. cloudy, blames 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 these 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 martin 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 most to read the motor is 47 years old and grew up in germany. she says she has lived to care for life, but can understand her children's concerns for the future. that's why she is glad

that the judges in straw spoke have classified the case as urgent. 7. can i have a little girl? she's 9 once. what will her life be like a little missing? guilty have all this i didn't really do anything by because i didn't contribute to the crisis but knocked the doctor 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 loss. it's like this, so what 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 is case or wherever this 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 generation 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 lawsuit. climate change and habit hunt 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 a 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 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 their breast range the organization? grievous zebra trust has trained more than 20 young women to monitor the world's most threatened the recipe for 40. when i leave home, i fill out a b t a sheet to show where my patrol is stopped and then every 30 minutes i fill in the gps up and to show where i m. e file seems the breast at the end of the day . the organization uses that data to track their routes where i have control naga. but now i got to deal with the a the not much 40 years ago. there were 15000 grievances,

the breast cancer alone. not there are fewer than 3000. they live in one of the dry as part of the country. messy breast cancer via for up to 5 days without water. so they 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 no one does him welcome, that's used to my drills for one place to another. giving the land following it for it to cover the werewolf medical money, the more said that the pastoral communities 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 counsel farmers. he believes they can coexist peacefully with as the brace. are they able to get somebody to place on a griffin with those 8 of the got as an aggressive areas of euclid way 1st off the bus. and so it's a way of frustrating posture is will making sure that the quick system between left and wireless eroded areas being replanted to benefits all parties that remain in the communities play. a key role in this influence can ensure that the next generation will continue to value death. quick. this guy's head animals loosened the soil on the arrow post lands, then semicircular embankments are constructed around areas, grass could start growing again. the cuffed her, the little available rainwater and directed onto the fields that some bore

a women to out invasive casey trees to useful filed grass and other plants grow. induct place this week, $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 that disappeared over the years have come back. that's still an indication that this method is working. traditions are important to some blue people, the regions only reva, the women get rich off tongues for the water and pushes into rosie ceremony. and got the so that you have central to the into rosie ceremony is the message of respect and it also communicates the rest of the community the importance of our conservation wet and planned greece in november. that alec, yes it is. one of the scouts said yeah, efforts of lead to greater acceptance of the zebras. and that has benefits for all

one. the whole could be controlled the movement of livestock, and he can eat together with a zebra. as soon as the rest on one or off instead of pasta this trucks, tories to the region that will get and tories increase jobs and best re swap children. that was one approval number. the future generations of local people provided with education and training could build up in nature reserves where the previous zebra population could recover and thrive. ensuring universal access to energy by 2030 is one of the lots of mission, sustainable development goals. now while progress has been made international, the soft sovereign offers are still last week behind many areas. i know that says that they are all only for a 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 the

huh. the give her in a lives in touch, she joined gola 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 the main difficulty i am facing is financial money because i need to buy metal and plastic supplies last year. if another difficulty is funded for technical training in electronics and digital projects for my phone, this will allow me to develop my projects better. they cannot well count both. 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, begins 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 are also doing your bit, tell us about this website. so send us the tweaks the hash tag doing your your still res, hers oceans are among the 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 to can these important waters and heavy metal contamination is rich in alarming levels, especially in coast regions. now british scientist help but a small shellfish can help big the ocean, a little cleaner along gosh, shore line. the also that aids of mere absence, scientists want to see whether you repeat the flat toys to 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. i don't always different filter in the region around 150 to 200 liters of water 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 was supposed to compliment each other, but instead the pacific oysters took over is definitely the needful 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 bats and archery. we have a bridge tongue where we have our other choices and every day we have them, we check the mortality and we measure them. young oysters on their own, withstand a 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, say is a safe here environment and we can control and we can ensure that they survive

until the very end of the production. in may, the scientists raised the water temperature by a few degrees, just as happens in nature, a signal to the oysters, to start reproducing the males released by sperm into the water, and the females release the x. if enough lobby have hatched, they'll be brought heads 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 settlement that go into an area just stop here, which is protected from fishing as well. the test results are promising. since these cages have been on the sea floor, eels, sea horses and baths have been spotted again there's a notice wasn't ecosystem engineer, so they and environment. they're restored to that they were present and tested 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 about 125 of those on some of the work we've been conducting, the team hopes to release up to $1000000.00 oysters in the coming year, provided the carefully formed oysters produce enough larvae bump to these content now 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. we've been article yes, it sounds like an on vicious plan, but doable. according to green cape, a south africa nonprofit organization that works to support innovative bring stops, is precisely these young companies that are respected to ensure. so africa, not cheese is environmental goals. in 2019 the prettier heights academy school

in cape town when 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. so, so far, abraham cambridge has crowd funding platform equipped nearly $45.00 schools and companies. within 5 years, they plan to have more than $200.00 additional systems installed. if you will 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 site apparently 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 a solid power. craig, more social, environmental, and economic impact. and for the school, the soda 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 service 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 as to actually get involved in interpret, neural seeing and actually by cells in cells and see how the money would increase or decrease. so what do you mean was created a huge inter neural excitement and then also what do you want to teach our children for the future trip in the real 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 sign in vain. the company developed an underwater pump powered by the oceans wave. 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 yet, we're looking at whole range of waves that have come from different areas. there's a lot of stuff that's produced lightly by the local winds, but there's an enormous amount of energy that come from storms that could be thousands of miles away. the way the pump is tied to a boy that lives with each wave, the leader movement pressurize is 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 the systems are going to be a big part of the solution. and future is not routing outsider or when working on

junction 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 this is why it's taking 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 the african energy mix, greener. we hope you enjoyed the show and we've given you some ideas and inspiration. 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 could 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 bunch of visit from you. my name is sandra 3, nobody. and i look forward to your company again next week.
