on d, w. d w's crime fighters are back that africa, most successful radio drama series, continues them all episodes are available online. and of course you can share and discuss on d, w, africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. crime fighters tune in now does ah a where would the world be without seas? not only did 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 lives in lagos, 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 to day 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 keith is fighting for healthier planet. we stopped our show with ivory coast like some of its neighboring countries, ivory coast as lost more those reporters of its forest, or by the last 50 years. more 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 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 with physically could it really clinical? if it's not a funeral, it means we're close. it sounds like loose warning or something. moving he relies on instincts that once helped him as a hunter. but now he is focused on saving the enemy with monkeys, in particular, using his knowledge of the tearing to support observation mission. i'm 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 to typical individual 6 different species of monkey live in the tannery forest, and se every coast. among them is the runaway, a critically indentured monkey that only font here over the last

50 years, ivory coast has lost more than 80 percent of its forest cover due to poaching and monoculture. tannery 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 us 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. gilmore do well live 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 activities that don't andre up, that you do when there is such as try to raise awareness in local villages.

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 a conservation and development association model. ok if the weather is global, yet when i sell the cassava a, put the profit i making the associations fund if the forest needs it to pay for conservation walk, or if someone is sick, we then draw on that money. so it's used for both the forest and the people who need it. clearly i via web doesn't work. look at the beauty, i it. if the the m is that 10 percent of the income goes to forrest protection to pay the monitoring teams. the researchers have succeeded in convincing 11 villages to join in a long for dog yoga book. in the long run,

the population themselves should be able to maintain these activities even if we are not there. and so we are teaching them to make the monitoring itself sustainable. long last you little spot l, mom for the team. this takes a high, they are trying to track down a species that was thought to be extinct. it's known as miss wal drones read columbus. the last one font citing of the prime. it was in the late 19 seventy's 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 found, it would be a wild fast. oh god, gently la, to get a sash. no scientist has ever studied this monkey because it has never been filmed in its natural inver meant the and know 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, sure. one saw some eulogies on campus tomorrow. how many of the monkeys may still be alive? has the miss world runs read columbus interbred with other species? has it developed solitary habits? the plenty of questions for the researches back in the city of abbey gene? 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 the rough us monday through our capacity building, we have a bit more impact than what it is been 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 development association. and monet away. i actually believe it's president in its

own field. he have decided not to cut down any more trees. his experimenting with a girl for his tree growing oranges, cow and coconut trees in the forest. it now generous most of his income to america most is my retirement when i am 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 hotels require the question, 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 for now to the neighboring country of gonna it's to struggle with deforestation. ganawe's last, almost 20 percent of its forest cover says 2000. it's a fatal friends. indeed, it is, crease and the reasons for about too many trees not only limit global warming by

storing carbon, that also gives show it to the animals and other plans. and that is not all left standing. she 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 fail it in. this is where some in, in my community most will 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 shay 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? if you are also doing your best, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us or tweet past eg,

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, but it's vital if the rice is in tried quickly enough. it starts to go moldy and

develop toxins which are carcinogenic and can even be liter. 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 had 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 to will not many other farmers have the same problem because mold doesn't only affect rice. it's also a problem with other types of grains such as corn, also known as maze. but trying machines are expensive. latiere 2020 when we hover to the allowed 80 terms of miss under

lot to 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 work. 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 on from wisc. so it's like up the pushing miss. these miss clubs, which i use very injected and sometimes thrown away the are the ones that we bought, that we sort of one and then that generated from is clubs. they're used for drying

the machine. it's hardly any carbon dioxide. so it's more environmentally friendly than conventional grain tries to run on diesel. the portable devices can try rice cohen all being, not only are the easy to assemble the service cost less than half the price of worrying a diesel power dryer. the former piece theory shimmer, the equivalent of $180.00 louis to dry his 15 ton harvest. it's such a success. the company has been in and dated with orders in this harvest season. at least 60 farmers are still waiting for his team. and they are more by dry as one of the thing at the moment. it's like we haven't got that one which is quite, he has worked for as a moment. and we do that with more effort from the front of the government previously with con father and in the physician, the vista village start up how supports young it's happened was and not just by

helping them to set up a company. we started tapping into ways in which to kind of what it was vision, in terms of corporate potentially, but also linking him to different stakeholders. and through the we saw a tremendous interest from this differently called the one to walk in pain. the one to support him. santa, the sat up, also received funding for a new prototype. what looks a bit like a pinball machine is, in fact, a dryer, that harnesses the power of the sun. thanks to a special coating on the base. the air in the lower section heats 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 said to hit the market in 2022. 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 were increasing by almost 3 percent player. hydropower is the predominant renewable source, but now france has big plans to hon if we part of it until antic cost does right, sandra, but not every wall is equally emphasis. think about the project. locals. think turbines. i above the preston waters would be blocked all 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 f key and brittany boucher 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 another 3 or 4 kilometers the ship is set to drill.

190 holds up to 60 meters deep for over 60 offshore wind turbines. ga, yahoo is worried that the construction work on the c bad will destroy the local aqua culture. as if you thought appear before you use on breathe, 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 to last year for the murder, 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 already feeling the negative effects of the drilling work malice,

it should give you the lobsters hide under stones and big boulders, doors, and cases. weather is sand and rock, depress it, but recently a big machine moved the box and put them in a different place on any okay, that the lobsters that have been there for years have fled, is repulsed ursula. the impact of my business will be dramatic somewhat of his on its website. however, the spanish operator praises the project as a means to provide environmentally friendly energy or the company has the support of the french government, which ignores that could says, am 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 a simple calculation reunion for this unique. this is the one who lab windy

turbines produce, renewable and c, o 2 neutral energy, farrah clevic shore in everything. so france wants to be carbon neutral within 30 years. papa is that is not possible without wind power because if you could have horse this is called 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 civil and laws. it scandalous to ruin such a beautiful ocean an aroma and turn it into an industrial landscape. if a gillman at this bay is under environmental protection, that it will let the coast in 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 matters worse, oil has contaminated the bay during the operation. the drill simply can't get

through the hard rocks below or said you can, oh god, when you see how slowly this project is progressing is nice. it is clear that it will be some time until the wind park has completed yet we have granted 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. yeah, all echo abrego. we a tin supporters of environmental campaigners. you're probably familiar with greta to berg. the young sledges climate october's become a climate strike when she was just 15 years old. and there is also my home pocket venosity. she is also part of the fried his full future movement and was a student when she started her career as

a climate activist. millions of young people around the world have followed the example, including through mario from south africa. oh, good memory valentine loves to come here to the aquarium. he's 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, i took him to plan to see, did not, let's say psycho we, you actually might be to day ramayo valentine is visiting or shaka marine world to see my young joint seater . so that was washed up on shore. injured to the young we until i don't really

lovely if you 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 wild and it's pollution myers front flipper was entangled in plastic waste and needed surgery on the after that's my as recovered from the plastic plaza, around flapper. 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 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 thee beautiful colors and fears. i even love the beak. how they come out. the eyes did just so beautiful to me. memory ballantine paints the birds in 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 raise the 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 sanctuary for the parents. every paying debt had been

on that declined due to deforestation. home his as balancing public appearances with school work as a full time job. by raising awareness of these buds, we can incorporate world leaders and other children, these ada, 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 in donations. the money went to birds of eden, a free flight aviary for rescued pet birds. near kate town, the century's own is happy about the contribution it will help with the upkeep of a new aviary built specially for african grace, a lot of traits in your industry that's sitting in people's houses and lot of older

birds because of her growth. of course, route through 607080 years old. so they, when you take her african grows afraid they sit in their cage for many, many years. since the new ab re opened about a year ago, 100 african greys have been saved from a life of being confined to a cage. back at the huge aquarium in durban. totally expert molina pizza has told ramayo valentine all about maya's rescue. if she's impressed by the young activist who wants to know every little detail about giant sea turtles, i find it incredibly inspiring that a child at 10 years old makes that conscious decision to make a difference in the world. and it's important to create that connection. everybody needs to know that every little bit helps, whether you do one beach clean up, as he said, all i choose one less drawer. every little thing we do does make

a difference. seeing new litter 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 re psyching 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 breakthrough 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 we lost you experiences all the different methods that you're using to protect and preserve the environment. thank you. for watching, i am sandra tween odeo until next time. do your best to keep it green.
