ah, she's digging the country soil to find out the truth. they want to kill me and they try many times. facing with a gun can change your life, wants to know what is happening, their guardian, the truth starts may 3rd on d, w. d ah, a where would the work day without seas? not only do they store carbon, the provide shelter shade, and they will food for both people and animals. and some have the power to make us more beautiful. far better than letting them go up and flame out. say, i'm chris who lives in lagos,
9:31 pm
nigeria. welcome to this new edition of echo africa. hello, everyone. i am sandra. twin, are you here in kampala, uganda. well, chris, i'm looking forward to hearing more about those beauty enhancing trees. but of course, that's not all we have in store for you today. and a here is what else is coming up. how a simple invasion is protecting harvests in wonder why the french fishermen are skeptical about wind energy and how a 10 year old kid is fighting for healthier planet. we stopped our show with ivory coast like some of its neighboring countries, ivory coast as lost models, reporters of its forest. while the last 50 years were remote, john, good areas are still home to a number of primary species, some of which are in danger of extinction. researches there are interested in more
9:32 pm
than just observing the bank is they also want to get local people on board to protect both them and the environment. but it's not such an easy task. ah, equally really clinical, if it's not a clue, it means we are closed. it sounds like loose warning or something moving. we will. he relies on instincts that once helped him as a hunter, but now he is focused on saving the animals monkeys. in particular, using his knowledge of the tearing to support observation mission. and a lot of little, if you go through the forest, you can find the excrement lake. what we saw here and you can tell what species it be, not as too typical individual 6 different species of monkey live in the tannery forest, and se avery coast,
9:33 pm
among them is the runaway are critically indentured to monkey that only font here over the last 50 years every cost has lost more than 80 percent of its forest cover due to poaching and monoculture. tandoori forest is one of the few areas still remaining. it was it survival to its remoteness surrounded by swamps? it's difficult to access for a good part of the year. the $12000.00 acre area is a vital life's was for endangered primates. the scientific mission deployed to observe them was set up by the swiss center for scientific research to preserve the forest and monitor changes with your model well met by a monitoring mix, it's possible to know where to invest more effort in forest conservation because in one place there are more animal species in another place. they are more human
9:34 pm
activities that build and lay up that you do when there is such as trying to raise awareness in local religion. here they are teaching people to plant a new high yielding variety of cassava. because if the villages have enough to live on, they won't need to look for resources in the forest. a group of local women agreed to join the conservation and development association model. ok? it is growing and when they sell the car, it puts the profit making this association fund if the for is to needs it to pay for conservation walk. well, if someone is sick, we then draw on that money. so it's used for both the forest and the people who need it near they have it. doesn't work like at the emmys, that's 10 percent of the income goes to forest protection to pay the monitoring team. there is such as have succeeded in convincing 11 villages to join in long for
9:35 pm
that girl. in the long run, the population themselves should be able to maintain the certificate even if we are not there. and so we are teaching them to make the monitoring itself sustainable. last you, ma'am? for the team, the stakes are high. they are trying to track down a species that was thought to be extinct. it's known as miss wall drones read columbus. the last one font citing of the prime. it was in the late 19 seventies until unfortunate discovery in 2008 a hunter had shot one. this photo is the only image the scientific community has. local residents say they can hear the monkeys cries, there is such as place cameras in the trees. if the monkey were finally filled, it would be a wild fast. oh god la, to get a sash. no scientist has ever studied this monkey because it has never been filmed
9:36 pm
in its natural environment. there are no photos in its natural environment. if we discover the monkey in this forest, we will study to try to understand his biology and behavior. sure. on one side of mural gees on campus tomorrow. how many of the monkeys may still be alive? has they miss waldron read columbus interbred with other species? has it developed solitary habits? the plenty of questions for the researches back in the city of abilene? it's a mystery that they one day hop to solve. in the meantime, the community management certainly seems to be paying off in the forest and ruffles, monday through our capacity building we have a bit more impact than what it is being done elsewhere. and in this respect, our project is increasingly recognized as a model of its kind. alicia, the 11 villages involved in the project now belong to the same conservation and
9:37 pm
development association. and monet away. i actually believe it's president in his own field. he have decided not to cut down any more trees. his experimenting with a go forest tree growing oranges. krakow and coconut trees in the forest. it now generates most of his income america. my, this is my retirement when i'm no longer here. my children will see that their father has done something constructive and they won't hunt what'll they live on anyway, as houghton one of the crutches. the villagers and researchers recently applied to have the forest declared avalene to re nature reserve. now they're just waiting for the presidential decree to make it official where more is taught now to the neighboring country of gonna it's to struggle with deforestation. ganawe's last, almost 20 percent of its forest cover says to 1000, it's a very to friends. indeed,
9:38 pm
it is chris and the reasons for that are too many trees not only limit global warming by storing cabin, they also give shelter to the animals and other plans. and that is not all left standing. she is can also help people make money in a sustainable way. ha! now the shade tree is called the tree of life here in northern garner. not surprisingly, so more than 600000 women are processing shane nuts in the west african country. by was i eda helps out today. it was her family's livelihood derived from shay nuts that enabled them to send her to university. we can either use them and make better at of aches or process it through and sell it in. this is where some in,
9:39 pm
in my community most were me, the pain as their livelihood. ganna is the largest exposure of unrefined shade but her. but the source of income for many women is under threat. trees are cut down in large numbers for firewood or to make charcoal. mm. the good news is the global shade alliance and network of shay businesses aims to plant 10000000 shade trees across garner and other african countries. and also protect for 1000000 hectares of shape park lands. ah, sure the companies want to secure their profits in the future, but at least they restore nature and protect the livelihoods of those who rely on the tree of life. and how about you?
9:40 pm
if you are also doing your best, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet pastor doing your bit. we share your stories. harvest time is the most in wanted time of the year for the farmers and not just in africa, but it can be difficult to store serious or mays securely. if conditions are to dump, the grain can wrought and spoil the entire yield bonds. this may be less of an issue in the future. a young running inventor has come up with an efficient way to solve the problem and what's even better. it is environmentally friendly. and guess what? we went out and met him. once those has been harvested, it needs to be tried for pharma or darcy hub in his or in his family. that process can be just is exhausting. is the actual harvest,
9:41 pm
but it's vital if the rice isn't right quickly enough. it starts to go mouldy and develop talk since which are carcinogenic and can even be lethal. so every day for weeks on end, they have to lay the rice out in the sun. it takes about a month to drive 5 tons of rice. hello to be popular will be with the most difficult to dry our crops with this method, especially when it rains wanna work during the harvest. we lose a lot of time because we have to dry when the sun is shining locals in work, and it takes us many days like as an article machine. if we had drying machines, we could save time and dry our crops efficiently and avoid losing produce approval . not many other farmers have the same problem because mold doesn't only affect rice. it's also a problem with other types of grain such as corn, also known as maze. but flying machines are expensive. latiere
9:42 pm
2020 when we hover to the allowed 80 terms of ms. under lot more than 30 terms because of a for toxin. because it, it was heavily running calendar term, we didn't have any system just to use to dry our maze and is taught in the appropriate to it. linda farmer came across young in tupper, new, teary shima through a report in the local newspaper. the train environmental engineer developed a small, portable trying machine. he has now built 3 such devices. he and his team bring them to the farmers and set them up on the site will use or from width. so it's like, after pushing miss these miss clubs which add us very rejected and sometimes thrown away the are the ones that we bought, that we sort of one. and then that in that generated from is clubs. now they're
9:43 pm
used for drying. the machine emits hardly any cup on dioxide, so it's more environmentally friendly than conventional green dryers that run on diesel. the portable devices, kendra rice, cohen or beans. not only are the easy to assemble the service cost less than half the price of worrying a diesel powered dryer. the former piece teary shimmer, the equivalent of $180.00 humans to dry his 15 ton harvest. it's such a success. the company has been in undated with orders in this harvest season, at least 60 farmers are still waiting for his team, and they are more by dryers. while looking for indians were facing at the moment, is lake. we've got that one which is quite the has and was opera as i'm only include that with more effort from the mission double this to show us government previously called out. we can have the hands of a solution, the vista villain,
9:44 pm
it start up how supports youngin tapping noise. and not just by helping them to set up a company. we started tapping into ways in which you kind of what inputs inhibition in terms of corporate partnership. but also on linking him to the different stakeholders. and through this we saw a tremendous interest from this differently called the one to walk, repeating the one to support in santa the stat up also received funding for a new prototype. what looks a bit like a pinball machine is infect dryer, that harnesses the power of the sun. thanks to a special coating on the base. the air in the lower section heat up to 40 degrees celsius, even on days when it was cooler, that allows 50 kilos of corn to be dried in the top section in just 3 hours. the carbon neutral dryer is set to hit the market in 2022.
9:45 pm
we're heading to europe now to france, although the country is heavily reliant to nuclear power. the fastest growing source of energy is renewables increasing by almost 3 percent player hydro. paula is the predominant renewable source, but now france has big plans to hon. if wind paw off until on to coast. does right sandra, but not everyone is equally emphasis. the cabal, the project locals, bank turbines. i above the preston waters would be a blot on the landscape. and their fears go much deeper. a storm against wind energy is brewing. it is 5 in the morning in the town of our key and brittany boundary. mongolia has to start early because there's a storm forecast for mid day. the fisherman and tourist guide wants to show us the drilling ship that is preparing the holes for wind turbines off the coast. it is
9:46 pm
another 3 and 4 kilometers. so the ship is set to drill, 190 holds up to 60 meters deep for over 60 offshore wind turbines. guy, yahoo is worried that the construction work on the c bad will destroy the local aqua culture as if you thought of her. if were you hearing some broo, we mostly fish for scallops. feller to valuable hulu, but if this is no longer possible, because the scallops are inedible, many fishermen will go bankrupt for if that is scary with fish. i just bought a new fishing boat last year for the murderer. the generous supplies of sea food and fish here are partly due to the fact that for decades the local fishermen have agreed to limit the amounts they catch. they fish sustainably. that makes it all the more bitter for fishermen like julian tail hell that some of them are
9:47 pm
already feeling the negative effects of the drilling work through malice. it should get you, the lobsters hide under stones and big boulders, doors, and cases where there is sand and rock depress it. but recently a big machine moved the blocks and put them in a different place or any okay, that the lobsters that have been there for years have fled, is repulsed ursula, the impact of my business will be dramatic. someone out of his on its website. however, the spanish operator praises the project as a means to provide environmentally friendly energy. o, the company has the support of the french government, which ignores that criticism from local fishermen. the government has even issued the operators with a number of special permits that override species protection regulations. the transition to renewables is underway regardless of whether or not citizens protest . the french wind energy association has made us simple calculation reunion for
9:48 pm
this unique. this is the one who lab windy turbines produce, renewable and c, o 2 neutral energy that clovis shore in everything. so trans wants to be carbon neutral within 30 year stop. at least that is not possible without wind power. because if you sit have horse, this is total in our key. even environmentalists oppose the wind turbines. they say the location is completely unsuitable for a wind park. and kathleen pujol says the 20 meter tall turbines will ruin the unspoiled coastline silicon laws. it scandalous to ruin such a beautiful ocean panorama and turn it into an industrial landscape. says edelman. this bay is under environmental protection that include that the coast and the see all the way out there. on my printer. the ship has only drilled very few holes and sombre you bay over the past weeks. the project is far behind schedule. to make
9:49 pm
matters worse, oil has contaminated the bay during the operation. the drill simply can't get through the hard rocks below. oh. busy said you can, oh god, when you see how slowly this project is progressing nice, it is clear that it will be some time until the wind park has completed yet we have granite and tolerate rock doing what brittany's nature sibley rejects these offshore wind turbine, nicely 0 general they are, the local fishermen simply cannot believe that the project is still going ahead and there certain that ultimately they will win the fight against the wind turbines. here all echo africa. we are in supporters of environmental campaign as you're probably familiar with gritted tune berg the young. so this climate activist began a climate strike when she was just 15 years old. and there is also michael park hill venosity. he is also part of the fried as full teacher movement and was
9:50 pm
a student when she started her career as a climate activist. millions of young people around the world. how full it. they example including ramayo from south africa. oh, memory valentine loves to come here to the aquarium. he has been interested in underwater worlds ever since he portrayed an occur in a school play about waste and marine life 4 years ago. he might well be south africa's youngest environmental activist, angered by the trash on the beach was near his home. the 10 year old has organized 200 clean up operations with the help of his family. and he leads, by example, is that it's time to plan to see did not, let's say psycho we, you actually might be to day re, mario valentine is visiting or shaka marine world to see my on
9:51 pm
a joint seaters. uh that was washed up on shore, injured to the young winter. oh, really lovely to look at this liver and you can see it's moving. it's not as long as the other 5. it happens a lot to animals in the world and it's pollution myers front flipper was entangled in plastic waste and needed surgery. i'm happy that's my as recovered from the plastic class around leper. i'm also sad how people have been caching that be with pollution and pollutants and everything. and this needs to be said, so please sac with the plan. he posts about activities like planting trees with school kids from surrounding communities on his social media channels. during the cop 26 climate conference, he sent
9:52 pm
a message to fellow environmental activists in glasgow. saving birds is remarried. valentine's latest passion in south africa, more than 50 bird species of threatened with extinction. i love deep, beautiful colors and fears. i even love the beak. how they come out. the eyes did just so beautiful to me. ramayo valentine paints the birds and natural settings as he would like to see them wild and free his partial to one species in particular. that african great parents are critically endangered. so i raised a weirdness, so big can be in a safe place. for his 10th birthday, he organized the perfect gift for himself with a crowd funding campaign supported by people around the world. he helped create his
9:53 pm
sanctuary for the parrots. every penny hell. i on that the plan uses deforestation. hope his family guides and encourages his desire to protect the environment. though his mom says balancing public appearances with school work is a full time job. by raising awareness of these buds, we can incorporate world leaders and other children. these ager, even younger to and parents as well to initiate these programs with again in teach the children in a positive way. but i think the schools around the world need to do more for the environment to teach the children. the african grey parrot campaign generated over a 1000 euros and donations the money when to birds of eden, a free flight aviary for rescued pet birds. near kate town,

9:55 pm
needs to know that every little bit helps. whether you do one beach cane up, as he said, all are choose one less draw. every little thing we do does make a difference. seeing you listen, washing up every day, doesn't dissuade mario valentine. he aims to organize a 1000 bees cleanups with school kids from in and around durban and reciting. firms have even offered to take the trash and we process it. it's sunk ripple i to him, doug. this also for the future of our planet. that's all for this additional break o obrigone. i hope you enjoy the program and i've learned some from you that you can put into practice to benefit your own community where you live. for now, i have bruce alone signing up from lagos, nigeria. see you next time piece and it's all of you of yours. we do encourage you to send us all your thoughts on comments on the program or even show results. you experiences all the different methods that you're using to protect and preserve the
