take your hands off approach limiting they work to observing which plants and animals settle in the habitat. it's a rare opportunity o. these is proud to give it's no standard procedure to see to it that we repair the damage. let us have done with all too frequently. we do not have the nature of the time or space to do that itself. and that deprives us of the chance to learn from nature to give the all the sauce stuff on salon. the among the things they have learned is that in addition to providing shade dead would also enhance the soil. when it falls to the ground, it creates more humourous which gives the soil more moisture. the work hank as carried out on his test areas is on a smaller scale than 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're seeing 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 ended up having to type stuff. natalie data shows that natural rejuvenation far exceeds the number of trees planted by humans as wooden kind of i mean up to 3 times the amount naturally resettling compared to the pine tree that were planted on the area with 20 dot after physical flan wooden. the researches are also part of an international network. they're eager to hear about the experiences 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 has been sick years for that forest to be able to store large amounts of couple. and you said again, that's just one reason why we need to reduce emissions as much as possible. and one of the best places to start with is the construction industry worldwide. it is now responsible for nearly 40 percent of global capital jokes that emissions an alarming statistics that prompted one young woman in south africa to take action stuff oh,

in the i'm sorry, cited b to c. what are the projects that we've been working here and let me take you onto the construction site very based 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 booth, 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 is always on a and respect. because i studied as much as any other math study to be able to become a mechanical engineer. but being a female construction boss isn't her only u. s. p. various engineering company, green design does something

a little different. they specialize in green buildings. that means using energy efficient materials and smarts designed 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 he's integrated and how we've designed it. so we've got a d, v lights, lots of natural light coming into the space very herself tries to lead a green lifestyle. the 33 year old, her car to reduce carbon footprint, and takes public transport back to her office. when various doctors have company off the university, she had a clear goal in mind, tech and climate change through construction. because we are the most valuable concert 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 as we are the greatest source of the problem. but also the solution there is, company has worked on 15 construction projects since she started in 2016. she also hosted lectures and workshops throughout the continent to give the green building sector booth in the up market business district of fenton where their office is. they already several green building projects, about $600.00 are certified in south africa. the city of janice berg is currently drafting a green building policy, but vera has an even bigger vision. 160 percent of the people in our continent. and i really just wanted them grow and i really want them understand climate and really just lead out constant and forward into the future. is the mom, judy ferrer, admin. but she is willing to take it one project at that time. a long journey indeed. and unfortunately, but same can be said of effort to expand access to electricity. almost the burning

people. well do i still like access to reliable supply of pop? that means they have a hard time light in the home store and food use in phones, all the internet's. it's simply a fact that electricity improves people's quality of life. it does indeed, crease on the central electricity supply. as many homes in africa need local or read solutions, and we all know how loosing they can be sergeant sink of diesel generators. but fortunately, more and more simple clean solutions are becoming available. here is an example from kenya, radio, a charging system. and these are all no standard features in for vakari, ms home. but many of the households in the area to rely on kerosene lamps, which i didn't euro and unhealthy. vivica re, me,

generates electricity from solar panels. she has a small hungry connections with and 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 panels, when we say $55.00 shillings a few days on the part. so we have enough light to get the children ready on morning on it's on all the time. i would that will carry me in 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 semi rural areas, make income only 40 percent due to close up a company called d late has sit up stores around kenya. they sell, sell

a product for home and small businesses. as 10 years gay runs one of the stores. she sells everything from lamps to t, v. 's and solar home systems. today, one of her 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 the solar energy and on the mission 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, you will have the environmentally friendly steam paid off. this one the quickest way of getting to the light duty is not profitable. sometimes in the in the media and i need from me from home to town. sometimes we, you can committed. what am i, what not?

the light skin offices are located in the robbie co founder and it was and has come from the us to discuss future strategies for africa. the social entropy, newer is now focusing on helping people who have recently lost access to energy sources. it is in injustice that you have 1300000000 people in the world who are 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 late release itself in kenya, maybe if the 2nd biggest market for solar energy after india goes on and his colleagues 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 paul as a security light in her front yard. it helps detectives at night to match up. in the evenings we leave the outside light on and all or 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 access to solar power has made her family's life a lot easier. and unlike other sources, the sun's energy will always be there. and hopefully you will fill in more read the judges of off to hearing about all these people making a difference in the part of the world. i will still be impressed by the ideas that say for today see you again. next week i am chris labs tylenol from lagos, nigeria. thank you crease 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,
