ah, discovers the world around you subscribe to d w documentary on youtube? 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 crystal, lemme san lagos, nigeria, welcome to this new edition of echo africa. hello everyone. i am sandra trevino,
5:31 am
new 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, or by the last 50 years. while 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 bogus. they also want to get local people on board to
5:32 am
protect both them and the environment. but it's not such an easy task with a quick clinical if it's not a clue, it means we are 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 animals monkeys. in particular, using his knowledge of the tearing to support observation mission. i'm a lot of good if you go through the forest, you can find excrement lake. what we saw here and you can tell what species it belongs to. typical individual 6 different species of monkey live in the tannery forest, and se avery coast. among them is the runaway, a critically indentured to monkey that only font here over the last
5:33 am
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 you more do well 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 delta and lay up that you do when there is such as try to raise awareness in
5:34 am
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. more ok if you had any i as global. yeah. when i sell the cassava a put the profit i make in 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 walkerson walk. look at the beauty i f e. the m is that 10 percent of the income goes to forest protection to pay the monitoring teams. the researchers have succeeded in convincing 11 villages to join in and along with the global cash in the long run,
5:35 am
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. a lot less. you little spot l 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 introduces fish. no scientist has ever studied this monkey because it has never been filmed in its natural environment. they are no
5:36 am
photos in its natural environment. if we discover the monkey in this forest, we will study to try to understand his biology and behavior should abuse on campus tomorrow. how many of the monkeys may still be alive? has the miss world runs red 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 been done elsewhere. and in this respect, our project is increasingly recognized as a model of its kind will deliver 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 his own field,
5:37 am
he have decided not to cut down any more trees. his experimenting with a girl for his tree growing oranges. krakow and coconut trees in the forest. it now generous most of his income. i remarked 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 are 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 it is, crease and the reasons for that are too many trees not only limit global warming by
5:38 am
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 out of aches or process it through and fail it in. this is where some in, in my community most were me, the pain as their livelihood. ganna is the largest exposure of unrefined shade but
5:39 am
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? if you are also doing your best, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us
5:40 am
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 the solve the problem and what's even better. it is environmentally friendly. and guess what? we went out and met him. one size has been harvested, it needs to be tried for farmer or darcy had been in his family. that process can be just is exhausting. is the actual harvest, but it's vital if the rice is in tried to quickly enough. it starts to go moldy and
5:41 am
develop toxins 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. or to report level will be with the most difficult to dry our crops with this method, especially when it rains long over 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 this. article immersion. 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 alarm aid to terms of miss under
5:42 am
lot more than 30 tons because of a photo theme. because it, it was heavy running calendar time. we didn't have any system just to use to dry our maze and just talk in the appropriate to it in the form i came across young in tapper new theory, shamrock 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 some width. so it's like up the 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 they're used for
5:43 am
drying. the machine is 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 or be 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, shame on the equivalent of $180.00 was to dry his 15th 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 the more by dr. 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, other and in the physician the vista village start up how supports young it's
5:44 am
happened was and not just by helping them to set up a company. we started tapping into ways in which to kind of what input and keep vision in terms of corporate potentially, but also linking him to different stakeholders. and through these, we saw to me less interest from this differently called the one to walking pain. the one to support him center, the sat 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 heats up to 40 degrees celsius, even on days when it was cool, 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. we're heading to europe now to france. although the country is heavily reliant to
5:45 am
nuclear power. the fastest growing source of energy is renewables increasing by almost 3 percent player. hydropower is the predominant renewable source, but now france has big plans to hon. if we 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 all the landscape. and the affairs go much deeper. a storm against wind energy is brewing. it is 5 in the morning and the town of our key and brittany boundary. mongolia has to start early because there is 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. so the ship is set to drill.
5:46 am
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 aquaculture as if you thought of it for you. here is some broo, we mostly fish for scallops. feller to valuable food, but if this is no longer possible, because the scallops are inedible, many fishermen will go bankrupt for that is scary with fish. i just bought a new fishing boat last year for 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, felt that some of them are already feeling the negative effects of the drilling work through malice. it so they gave you the lobsters hide on their stones and big
5:47 am
boulders, doors, and cases where there is sand and rock depresses it. but recently a big machine moved to blocks and put them in a different place or any of the day. the lobsters that have been there for years have fled, is repulsed ursula, the impact of my business will be dramatic. someone autopay is on its website. however, the spanish operator praises the project as a means to provide environmentally friendly energy. oh, the company has the support of the french government, which ignores the 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 a simple calculation reunion for this unique. this is the only lab wind turbines
5:48 am
produce renewable and c, o 2 neutral energy that causes shore in everything. so france wants to be carbon neutral within 30 year stopper is that is not possible without wind power. and because if it's it 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 catalina pujol says the 20 meter tall turbines will ruin the unspoiled coastline silicon laws. it's scandalous to ruin such a beautiful ocean panorama and turn it into an industrial landscape. sit edelman, and this bay is under environmental protection that include 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
5:49 am
through the hard rocks below. oh, so you can all go the when you see how slowly this project is progressing in there, it is clear that it will be some time until the wind park has completed yet we have granite until all right. rock, adrian board, brittany's nature sibley rejects these offshore wind turbine. nice is your 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 on a co op rico, we are in supporters of environmental campaign as you're probably familiar with grits, i to berg the young. so as it's climate activist began a climate strike when she was just 15 years old and there is also my poem pockets venison authority. he is also part of the fried his full feature movement and was a student when she started her career as a climate activist. millions of young people around the world. how full it. they
5:50 am
example including ramayo from south africa. oh, 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 is 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 turn to plan to see did not lead psycho leal antonie might be to day re, mario 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
5:51 am
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 and my as recovered from the plastic plaza 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 a message to fellow environmental activists in glasgow. saving birds
5:52 am
is remarried. valentine's latest passion in south africa, more than 50 bird species of threatened with extinction. i love their beautiful m colors and fears. i even love the beak, how they come out. the eyes did just so beautiful to me. memory of 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 every current grade parents are critically endangered. so i raise the weirdness so they 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 a sanctuary for the parents. every pay can they
5:53 am
now on that, the land usa deforestation, home 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 bads. we can incorporate world leaders and other children, these age or even younger, to and parents as well to initiate these programs where they can 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 centuries own is happy about the contribution it will help with the upkeep of
5:54 am
a new aviary built specially for african grays. a lot of threats in industry that sitting in favor of ours and lot of older birds because of her growth, of course, grow through 607080 years old. so they, when you take her up and grows afraid, they sit in their cage for many, many years. since the new aviary 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 turtle experts. 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 be to clean up,
5:55 am
as he said, all are choose one less straw. every little thing we do does make a difference. seeing new, listen washing up every day as to sway for 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, do so. so for the future of our planet, that's all for this additional break co op rec up. 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 am 1st alone signing off from lagos, nigeria. see you next time piece and it all of you, our views. we do encourage you to send us all your thoughts on comments on the program, or even show glance you experiences all the different methods that you're using to protect and preserve the environment. thank you for watching. i am sandra clean
