research is take your hands off approach limiting they work to observing which plants and animals settle in the habitat. it's a rare opportunity. oh, i just forgot to give it's no standard procedure to see to it that we repair the damage that humans have done with all too frequently. we do not need the time or space to do that itself. and that deprives us of the chance to learn from nature to get the of the sauce stuff on salon. the among the things they have learned is that in addition to providing shade dead would also enhance the toil. when it falls to the ground, it creates more humans which gives the soil more moisture. the work hank is carried out on his test areas is on a smaller scale and is common in conventional forest management. me, he left a number of dead trees standing leaves have also been spread to keep the soil moist

and protected during drought dust via we've seen large scale forest fires in the region and that's going to continue. so we need to learn how to respond to gain and that's why researchers and that bloomberg is here. she's been collecting data on soil humidity and temperature, which plants and animals settle there and how all these factors impact on the ecosystem. and having to try death. natural rejuvenation, far exceeds the number of trees planted by humans, wouldn't tie up to 3 times the amount of naturally resettling compared to the pine tree that were planted on the area of the ice. and he, dr. physical glanced, wouldn't the researches are also part of an international network. there he get to hear about the variances of colleagues in the u. s. and mediterranean

countries. and to learn if and how forest ecosystems can be made more robust. one thing a number of studies show is that even the remains of trees killed or damaged in severe fires helped the forest ecosystem rebound, which supports the argument of letting nature be. well, it is interesting to see how nature can regenerate itself, but it is basic years for that forest to be able to store large amounts of coupled you're saying again, that's just one reason why we need to reduce on board emissions as much as possible . and one of the best places to start with is the construction industry was wide. it is now responsible for nearly 40 percent of global couple jokes that emissions an alarming statistics. the prompted one young woman in south africa to take action . oh,

been i was excited to see what are the projects that we've been very line here and let me take you onto the construction side. very base stands out in many ways here as one of the very few women on the ground. she's also the 1st female boss for many here. being treated as an equal is all part of the job. so at the end of the day, i'm on site, i've got my safety, i will climb. but if i need to make this happen for my client, and i think that that's the main thing is really just making sure that people see us as equal when we all women on construction sites and making sure that there's always honor and respect. because i studied as much as any other studies to be able to become a mechanical engineer. but being a female construction bus isn't her only u. s. p. there is engineering company,

a green designer does something a little different. they specialize in green buildings. that means using energy efficient materials and smart designs to save electricity. it's a rather nice industry. they are only a handful of similar companies on the continent. ah, with everything that we do, we consider green. so that's part of how we do our designs. it's not a line item that actually is integrated in how we've designed it. so we've got light, lots of natural light coming into the space very herself trying to lead a green lifestyle. the 33 year old car to reduce the carbon footprint and takes public transport back to her office. when very started have company off the university. she had a clear goal in mind checking climate change through construction because we are the most confident when it comes to climate change buildings and med 40 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions. and almost 60 to 80 percent of that can actually be

avoided thinking is we are the greatest source of the problem. but also the solution there is, company has worked on 15 construction project and she started in 2016. she also hosted lectures and workshops throughout the content to give the green building sector, who's in the market business district of fenton, where various office is. they already several green building projects, about $600.00, a certified in south africa. the city of janice burgess currently drafting a green buildings policy, but there hasn't even bigger vision, more than 60 percent of the people in our continent. i really just want to see them grow and i really want them understand climate. and really just like lead employed into the long journey admit, but she is willing to take it one project at a time, shows a long journey indeed. and unfortunately the same can be said the

effort to expand access to electricity almost brilliant people. well, do i still like access to reliable supply of pop? that means they have a hard time lights in the homes, sovereign foods, using phones all the integrates. it's simply a fact that improves people's quality of life. it does indeed crease on without central electricity compliance. many homes in africa need local or lead solutions, and we all know how we're losing. they can be such a sink of diesel generators. but fortunately, more and more simple clean solutions are becoming available. here is an example from kenya, radio, charging system, and light. these are all no standard features in for vakari, ms home. but many of the households in the area still rely on kerosene lamps, which i didn't euro and unhealthy. vivica re me generate electricity from solar

panels. she has a small hungry and i think was, it's a big change. before we were paying $55.00 shillings a day for electricity. we'd have power for a while and then it would be cut off. but with the solar power, when we paid $55.00 shillings days on the part. so we have enough light to get the children ready on morning on. it's on all the time that will carry me and her husband a paying for the solar energy system in installments. in 8 months it will be paid more than 70 percent of kids have access to electricity in similar areas like income, only 40 percent due to close the gap. a company called delight has sit up stores around kenya that sell solar products for home and

small businesses. extend your gear, runs one of the stores. she sells everything from lamps to t, v. 's and solar home systems. today, one of technicians is going to install a system on the outskirts of john. a tier is a local pastor. he decided to equip his new home with us. and then the technician explains how it works. it can be installed in just a few hours. by contrast, getting connected to the public grid can take months, and in just 2 years or 2 will have the environmentally friendly system paid off. this one is the quickest committee of waiting there. the light duty is not profitable. sometimes it'll in the in the media and any proper meeting from the town. sometimes you can visit one of my what not

de la skin offices. i look at to be know roby co founder and it was and has come from the us to discuss future strategies for africa. the social entropy new is know, focusing on helping people who have recently lost access to energy sources. it is an injustice that you have 1300000000 people in the world who have to still burn kerosene for lighting. when the light bulb was invented more than 100 years ago. this doesn't make sense. technology is like, well, bell banking have made it easy for the lights, establish itself in kenya. maybe if the world's 2nd biggest market for solar energy after india and his college. and now hoping to expand into other markets in africa . if we're going to provide universal energy access, solar is going to be a critical part of that equation. we book a really nice motion agreed means that she no longer has to buy electricity. dockins and her children have enough light to see when they're drawing the clean

energy source even power, the security light in her front, yet it helps detect the is at night. today, another matter in the evenings we leave the outside light on and all our things are safe. so even if we leave the washing outside, because when the lights on, people can tell us where at home or not to go access to sell a power has made her family's life a lot easier. and unlike the sources, the sun's energy will always be there. and hopefully you will fill it more read it does is up to hear it about all these people making a difference a, the, a part of the world. i will certainly impressed by the ideas that said for today see you again next week. i am chris labs tylenol from lagos, nigeria. thank you, greece. all the best to you and our do not forget to check us out on social media platforms. this is thing touch. i am sandra 3, nobody here in compiler. uganda,
