out here is not only disorganized violence, it's not only terrorism. it's politics. found it over 150 years ago, gets repeatedly died out, but always been resurrected. the ku klux klan starts may 11th on d. w ah hello and welcome to a new edition of equal africa did abuse environmental magazine. my name is sandra trina, and today we're going to look at how the sports world is starting to champion environmental causes. that's right. we can all do something to help curb climate change and preserve nature. my name is chris alone. great to have you with us. this time we'll

be looking at how trash live by taurus is frustrating island as a synagogue. how activist in ivory coast or tackling waste and global warming and how a traditional irrigation system can save farmers in tenicia from suffering water shortages most the falls tend not to associate sports with a drive to beat the climate crisis. but why not? it's all about team work, isn't it? the initiative sports for future allows athletes and fans to joined together to support global environmental projects. how does it work? let's take a closer look at one german nigerian initiative soccer brings people together even across continents. the students of nathan and lang,

secondary school in nigeria have linked up with professional footballers in germany to help the environment. climate change is here with us already on the front lines our of our ment. i think the lessons we have gone wrong. we have to turn out so by pulling to want to good to be part of miss susan who knew me robinson is an of our mental activists in a quiet mom in southern nigeria. today he's visiting a high school in the village of o 2. he tells the students about his green school project that he developed for schools in rural areas there. intrigued as he talks about what individuals can do for the environment. many i hurrying this for the 1st time, but soon catch on. massey couldn't. kenneth son, dan robinson, aims to motivate and mobilize the students making the environment a firm part of school life. what is the greatest point miss?

i think is all about is for us to establish a cons of a, some clubs is school. we want them to be a very passionate about issues. so we want to understand these issues. i want to be there, want to drive the message to the society. after the lesson, the students head out to the soccer field for many that's an added incentive to join the conservation club. it also strengthens the group dynamic. each club has its own sports team. robinson's organization provides the schools with shirts and equipment and organizers, small tournaments, mostly competing against environmental clubs at other schools. next is time for the environment. robinson and the students plant fruit, trees, developing the schools very own forest. the students learn how to plant and take care of the trees so they can expand the forest later on their own, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change in their region.

$373.00 is activities. once in a week, it hasn't brought how we need to know more on how we can improve. taking the environment from your ocean. climate change has left its mark on the region, causing both floods and drought. the green school project is designed to limit the damage and improve life here for the future. to come also to miss owens is everywhere it when polluted environment is implemented to c o 2 chains absorbed it . so to are released also into rows. so chip is very important in clap, middle meeting is on seems on the frontline issue that out i just had to but drying the saplings in large quantities is expensive. so the initiative is getting help from a german charity called sports for future. it enables individual athletes and clubs

to support an environmental projects in africa. the world of mannheim, southern club has decided to sponsor the green school project. robinson keeps the germans updated on how the project is progressing. not beyond a specific student. of course i like i said, i did jamika that they would give the message to him of for the up in the manheim soccer club plays in germany's 3rd division. he doesn't earned the big box of top fly football, but he wants to make a difference. superman chassis club, we have the big responsibility to the society through our fonts and the project to do we can help others. education is key and it's important to promote that in africa. might have heard on the club, does that through its sale of soccer shirts, donating 3 euros for every jersey sold. the squad is playing well right now, and that's benefiting the green schools project. they sold more than $7000.00

shirts this season, producing a 5 figure sum to buy tree saplings in nigeria as an entry, and i named him and get out here to the man and thus income that we've generated but aren't using for ourselves. maybe it means will buy one player less, but we knew we wanted to help where it's needed. most some i've been ticked. rude. donations from germany. also helping the commercial school in the small town of wil you it to has joined the green schools project. well, you may, robinson talks about his work and inspires the students to get involved at this school. it's basketball that brings the group together. ethel is a student here and president of the schools conservation club. she discovered a passion for preserving nature. i want to pass that on to her fellow students. you

never can tell the one that comes with watching was your plans group. you might not realize it. i mean, you should put this to that phone is if you want to read reading and adding such as is what i tell you. there is no way you won't. you writing, selling someone or without food to eat, came from a tree i planted 6 years ago. when you me robinson was once happy just to reach a few local schools with his project. now he's getting requests from schools in other regions to thanks to the financial help from germany. the project is deadly growing. i was hoping, biddable to discuss this further to disclose our target. you still get a quote oh, it's good in the picture. i will be that it is 5 years. we're going to get these pockets and ambitious goal. but the german, nigerian partnership is already very successful. the students of the green schools

project have planted over $10000.00 trees so far and counting. what's a terrific initiative? plain green energy, so gold, many countries are striving for another is getting rid of the trash diluted beaches, waterways and landscapes even when the sources of yields find his solutions can still be charlie did. here is this weeks doing your bids with us die from senegal. ah, just 20 minutes off the coast of jacka is the small island of glory. its historical significance to the atlantic slave trade and its beautifully maintained buildings make it a popular destination for day trippers. but many you come to enjoy this unesco world. cultural heritage, sight fail to respect it. piles of garbage littered the streets and rocky beaches.

mostly plastic bottles and remnants from picnics that visitors have left behind much to the dismay of local residents. therefore, they've done the computer stuff every day. we witness the same behavior. people tossing plastic waste on the ground, even though there are 2 rubbish bins in front of every building. but at times the island welcomes a 1000 visitors a day and they bring a lot of plastic, which they leave behind the as we saw it after i said, we clean up every day and every 2 days we transport $700.00 to $800.00 kilos of ways to dakar, backup in contrast to organic waste is now benefiting go res. 1500 residents. it helps keep their island green and generate chill, little income on the side of the medium. of course. yes ma'am. benny. be glad to improve waste management. the islands town hall set up a system of sorting and composting to transform and get value from organic waste. a

ha, palm gallagher, the resulting compost is used to nurture the i'll. it's flora think about or bagged and sold for a profit to help with. it's still not enough to solve all of go raise garbage was though. the biggest help would be for visitors to take everything they bring to the island back home again when they leave. ah, and tell about you. if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it. this is all websites both send us a tweet. hash tag doing jo, banks. we shack your stories. obviously their seal a long way to go, but that's why we're here. echo africa. awful reports are things that li change in and active is committed to making that change happen. yes, we do, chris,

and today we shall case 3 young people from ivory coast who devote their time and energy to carbon pollution and making the world a green of life. let us learn how abidjan i re costs economics sent ice undergoing a breathtaking transformation. construction sites seem to be everywhere and they are new and our districts appear in to the city now has over 5000000 inhabitants, niche isis of urine, while pollution commute, the city eve laundry. kwame is one of a growing number of people taken action to ensure a healthier abby shop. in december, our mental blog, he writes about a huge problem of literally walking with a prosecutor. what scares me is that we'll reach a point where we can no longer do anything for the environment. in fact, along the blog of feels that ignorance to threatens the environment. he hopes that his documentary work will raise awareness and motivate people.

lockwood vasa, fitness, the con, tucson labs machine, more than 50 percent of the population of english this marine illiterate. so a big population like that is not very aware of the environmental protection issues, ecological issues. the link between the activities and the consequences that they may be on the planet. all that there may be for their own healthy i was represented . could at least a part of this whist be recycled? what looks like real stone is actually recycled plastic in it quasi hassan developed the concept during her master studies environment and plastic waste management. she asked herself how she could help solve a business garbage problem in concrete terms. like again for battle, i checked everywhere to see what we can do with plastic waste, especially in ivory coast. and the means that we have at our disposal was that they could on wavy ivy. i discovered that they are physical products available,

such as paving stones, brakes, and many other things, such as granules they can renew young and they are in big demand. one hotel has had it's dry, we paved would recycled, plastic breaks his lunch duty idiot quasi founded her own company in 2019. and now she has 7 employees. she's convinced that young entrepreneurs like hair can bring about change in our bichon. see good in other young people get involved and green entrepreneurship, we will be able to make ivory coast and even our african continent, a world that works to reduce atmospheric pollution. harvey allow good show do involves the ecological impact and promoting a green city and, and ecological city them we'll see due to promotion is it is the vehicle who's and that's what the students at abbey shas university. do. they are planting 30 trees on campus, and that's just the beginning of it before. as soon as you dug

a synergy of actions is needed to address environmental degradation, some or column organize ye activity. he has said geography students union here. they received the trees for free from a state company, missouri aligned with the ivr and environment ministry. and he hopes to plant even more cha, zillow, including i set up the law like a goes on in a few years, won't be here thinking, but also come after us should really be able to enjoy the same conditions that we did. and i've been using the kumasi district in south eastern ogden is a concrete westland. now dimia hofstadter to we green some avenues some more cornum . and it it quasi. see this as a good sign. they are not alone. india efforts for a greener city. our next report at texas to spain, to the import delta, the largest wetland area in the western mediterranean region. it is home to

a vast variety of plant and animal species. here to climate change is upsetting nature's delicate balance. and while the government is looking for ways to keep future damage to a minimum, some proposes huff and at the local farmers, they could end up losing both their livelihoods onto bare lands. this is where his neighbors holiday home one stood says jose one saudi best to day. all that's left is a pile of rubble. the house was destroyed in a devastating winter storm storms like these have become increasingly common. so deep as says such weather events demonstrate the drastic impact of climate change on spain's ebara. delta jojo vicky both the storms and the authorities in action are harming us and law. they won't let bloom the air bro. delta prepared for their

land marshal parental locals are growing desperate. extreme weather events and rising sea levels have eroded the coastline, leaving little more than this strip of land near the mouth of the april. it's the last line of defense between the sea and the countless rice patties that lie inland . the spanish government wants to nationalize over $800.00 hector's, of privately owned land, to turn it into an additional buffer zone. but the plan angers local rice form is so deep as fears he could lose half his cross and it's not clear what sort of compensation he would receive in return though, like most of the thomas, he's not only concerned about financial losses id, i simply mean this is a motional get in many cases,

rice fields of been passed down through many generations or i worked very hard to get my think about. the government's plan doesn't bode well for the delta. in fact, it will destroy the delta and our value. see it. but at the end of the, of that it lou malozuski that it was said not every one of hose as the government's plan. environmentalists regard the delta as one of europe's most important wetlands, over 300 bird species inhabit reading. sophia, the buyers runs a private bird sanctuary. she doesn't like the idea of piling up tons of sand or dumping break waters in the sea. as farmers are demanding, ill build that one does it blows for more. when we turned the entire delta into rice paddies, the mentality was to exploit nature to the absolute fullest like also just healthy

. now. our now it's time for change and not everyone is happy about it. real scientists say natural solutions are better suited at reducing the effects of climate change in, but i, me to, god ill come locally my, the god. for some time, environmental groups have been protesting against another related problem. the ebara river is carrying hardly any sediment into the delta. all im loving. that's because dozens of dams further up river are keeping the mud back. and mud is what the delta is made of. at this rally demonstrators symbolically poor soil into the river. to highlight that without natural sediments, the delta will be at even greater risk from climate change. if we, if you can mitigate or if it's little, it will be extremely difficult to offset the effects of climate change or specifically flooding and loss of lands on the more or more the rigorous urine. what is on these more, it's crucial that we restored is not a logical function of the river level often with uniglobe piccadilly. your well,

well the, what i rise farmers cerebus and his friends don't agree. they don't want to spend years waiting for the river to bring sediments back to the delta. they want their government to take action now. oh, locals are divided over how to deal with the threat of climate change and the eroding embryo delta. by the time environmentalists, farmers and the government reach a consensus, it may be too late. the next winter storm is always just around the corner. the stain on the subject of water to needs is close to region, is the demographic onto economic buck. one of the country, an important share of each export oriented irrigated agriculture is concentrated in the coastal zones. but the country fesses severe water shut. it is due to the effects of climate change. farmers and other residents are desperate for submission

. now a traditional system that uses see water to grow, fruits and vegetables could provide an answer. growing potatoes here is only possible for ali garcey, thanks to a centuries old farming method known as romilly, which means on sand. it's unique to the sandy regions surrounded by salt water on tenicia north coast. ere of settlers returning from under lucia in the 17th century, set up small plots along a salt water lagoon. near the town of hot elementary ali garcey, a retired teacher, and farmer sun has long thought to keep this farming tradition alive. it relies on the tides to water, the crops, a little milk. the salt water comes in from the mediterranean with the tide. once it reaches a certain level, it pushes the thin layer of fresh water up from the firm. sandy substrate to reach the roots of the crops from them at the sofa. you'll get up to what we know that

fresh waterways less. so it always stays above the salt water, so only the fresh water reaches the roots of the crops and the amount that you plot musto was your daughter up. the fresh water comes from rainfall in the hills, and that's how the plants are irrigated and my issue that the other we never water them from above and we wouldn't be able to go there. we don't have any wells here or reservoirs. oh, lana. so do you, then ali garcey is preparing furrows ready to plant potatoes. each plot of land is no more than 4 meters wide and surrounded by reeds to protect it from wind and erosion. the natural irrigation system allows the farmers to grow crops all year round. no additional watering is required and there are other advantages to no pesticides are needed. the salty soil is a natural deterrent for most pests. the farmers can produce up to 20 tons of

potatoes, beans, or onions, perfect air each year. the vegetables are highly prized for their unique tank with it, but all the work has to be done by hand. it's tough going, and many farmers have given up long. bizarre enough has come to see ali garcey. she's the president of the local farming and fisheries association. she spent 2 years working to get the rumbly method certified by the u. n. food and agriculture organization as a globally important agricultural heritage system. i believe of that iser to vacation is a key step in upgrading the value of the produce. it will allow farmers to sell it in major supermarkets for a higher price with a label like the one for other organic food. it's the only way to encourage the farmers to keep going fail. oh, but i would after all this is organic food and it's more expensive to produce than with conventional farming a my ear has a blues ear. more money is one thing. another is the need to protect the ecosystem

on which the farms rely. farmers engineers and scientists meet to discuss how to need his water supply can be managed. more sustainably. colleague odyssey takes the opportunity to present the virtues of the romilly system, who is he's hoping international organizations like the world wide fund for nature can help protect the regions unique ecosystem. one of the, you know, if a lim, welcome portal, could, to people really need to understand that all unregulated development is harmful to the surrounding ecosystem. this area benefits from lots of water in, let's both from the sea and land. but increasingly these are being compromised to mainly due to changes in the way the land is used. people are building on land that is not suitable for building. it's a huge challenge and we are working with all those involved, especially the tunisian government and the state to explore possible solutions that tunisia the acceleration of climate change along with unregulated urban sprawl. and

growing tourism infrastructure along the coast have all affected the area. as for bundling in, now the water no longer reaches all of the wrongly plots at high tide circle when they built the road right through the middle of the lagoon. and it was obvious that water coming in from the sea to the lagoon would be blah blah. hon, when we complained that the authorities agreed to did channels under the road to let the water through holes. but very little water gets through and that's affected the whole ecosystem on which our farms depend. why not to spot the lemon apart from stopping such building projects? zora enough wants to know what else could help motivate young people to take up this traditional farming method. i did not know how we're trying to encourage the farmers not to sell their plants. we arrange training courses to show them how they can adapt to the new situation. that obviously we're organizing workshops together

with the world wide fund for nature and the u. n. development program. i love me. we also give the people subsidies to encourage them to keep farming candlewood via me photos via the potatoes from ali garcia's plot show the work is worth while he's hoping to persuade the 300 other farmers in the region to hold fast to the romilly tradition and preserve their heritage. we've run out of time for today. thank you all for watching and don't forget to check in with us and all our social media platforms. for now, i am under tween audio. sing, bye bye, from compiler. here in uganda. it's also time for me to bid farewell from here in lagos. papa shows by you to find ways in which you too can support climate action. i look forward to seeing you again next week till then. stay safe. ah, a
