that really affects the school attendance and the availability of milk due to a drought. and lo, which actually causes mal trisha here on the border to south sudan close to the ongoing conflict. many people have firearms in order to defend their watering holes and animals rather than others. even the youngest carry weapons, the battle for water is now an everyday reality. what are your 3 days ago? there was conflicts, were there the communities while fighting over pastor along the sort and as you can see, the area there's a drought on saw the how to crossover in such a pastor ford there and more saw that. ah, it comes along with our conflicts each and every time that this drought in this region, some n g o z like world fishy, are active in the region,
5:40 am
but they're not able to help every one. the waffle program says he needs more than 40000000 dollars in emergency aid, and that is just to help the hardest hit communities located a marla in this group of women, i say, my nomadic, they've settled easily into the new home. a marla has gathered every one to talk about the upcoming work in the new fields with international funding, the n g o pen. every care has drilled a well here and provided the woman with a plot of 5 hector's. each of them now has a piece of land where they can grow melons, vegetables, and mays. there are a lot, let me live in the one other one. i told everyone to walk hard to grow their own food. the law for the own food security in the face of droughts. the land of like

we have to walk hide here, my god, i've been on the very hard now near lamb than traditional practices, slack leaving pastures and cultivated no longer work here. the drought means the swell remains infertile, even after a period of recovery. that's why fami projects like this, as a best way to prepare for the consequences of the climate crisis. according to drought expert dennis on chang, that's one of the greatest initiatives in catalog to corner south is on evidence that a group must william can work projects like this, inspire hope. as the drought continues any to national donor conference history, some $1400000000.00 to provide some relief to communities in kenya, somalia, and south sudan. welcome. staying on the topic of foot
5:42 am
security. on the report comes from an area of ivory coast, also struggling with drugs, farmers there and now banding together to protect their fields from wind and unpredictable weather conditions. here is this weeks doing your bits. ah oh, how can we protect fields that are exposed to both trout and heavy rain in northern ivory coast farmers used to simple methods the small stone wools that building across their fields retain water, the walls, stay run parallel, but snake back and forth. they use a level not to check whether the ground is even but to find out which way the land
5:43 am
is sloping. the stones are then laid said that they will catch the water run off sapp paramedic fetches is that allows us to fertilize the soil because the compost takes put his shot and the ditches. we have already dug. if you can fill up with water, easy to set up, lee. oh, they have all say planted trees to act as wind brakes. they are regularly pruned to keep them in check less out of grown up lack did that. my dad per to the trees we planted help to shield the soil from the wind. the small walls we are building, distribute the run off. there's your data silly loss so that the water doesn't wash away the soil and create deep channels, which would make the land useless in the long run along there. so ah, the farmers and our feeling more connected to, they realize they can only protect their fields together. and how about you?
5:44 am
if you are also doing your bid, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. past ag doing your bit. we share your stories when on her to a spanish island of the coast of morocco and 22 in the one on extender. volcanic eruption on the kendra island of la palmer lived entire villages buried beneath rivers of lava, destroying countless buildings from land and vineyards. in the process by locos i determined to find a way to live with the volcanoes legacy. i rebuild the, our communities cleaning up efforts at the foot of the columbia. in last, manchester are in full swing tons of ashes need to be removed. shadow gone valley. sandra, there is a busy tube. it's a special clean up mission,
5:45 am
but despite the hard work, she is relieved. her village is still there. boy . felicity laurie, we're over the mooney not. we didn't think we'd come back. the iraq was so close just over there that are in thought. fire fighters and many volunteers have helped her to free the house from the ashes. but there is no running water at the moment. m e m o was so scared the house would collapse, collaborate bundle contained by her to niece our bottle of lava because of all those ashes, there are a lot of pressure built out of the mar tatooine salus, and that are they and others here are optimistic that in a few weeks time, life in last, manchester will be almost normal again. not far from last manchester, the aftermath is pretty clear. what a gigantic mass of lava has buried almost everything,
5:46 am
including the village of told. okay, where horsey garritano lived before. we got her leave her a man with her. i'll my house is literally a few kilometers on here under the lava in it. i cannot tell exactly where any more i'm in february. this is this, this is just one big black desert for major leaves quite an impression of the hebrews the eruption of the comedy, the hub. okay, now has changed his life and that of thousands of pol meadows for ever. the law there has been destroying buildings and livelihoods refers to the architect garritano once to rebuild all of it, just where it once was. but on top of the lava, the whole of told ok is cheer located it digitally. everett of our kit kit for this whole company, cargo if you could prove to be complicated and difficult. yeah. when we don't, marvin have an up to date map of the structure here in the soil, learn at the moment, but yes, i will. we will have
5:47 am
a new landscape here see by amazon. they made effort of our own way will buy, saw him. the lava is still hot, though. it will take a long time for it to cool down. in the meantime, scientists on the island of tin a reef are running tests to see if the ashes of the volcano can be used to make them. and while the reconstruction in gamma yorkie is how they are. as i understand, the ashes are very clean, are like what would be perfect for construction. okay. locally that would give houses and buildings on local touch tune for we garza hawaii, the fries. you're in the air in sadala. near the middle, the architect has a vision. he wants to fully rebuild, told ok to live a life right next to the larva, this young eagles of everything that will be built on the lava he should be sustainable and ecological that both of them being well. i also think from what part of their kimberly protected natural area for the lava barbie. the location of luck or larva horsey garritano once to give back to the inhabitants of to locate
5:48 am
and other villages in the south west of la alma. while the volcano has taken from them, their homes, and part of their identity off all the animals in the animal kingdom, highness are probably among those of the biggest in big problem perceived as mean ugly and roofless. i know the actually intelligent creatures who formed clowns with complex issue hierarchies. and that is not all white. it is true that they are predictors. they're also savages who play an important role in most african ecosystems. the skeleton coast in northwestern namibia is home to brown hyenas, also known as strand wolves. why knows a very important in the ecosystem and i've got
5:49 am
a very important role to play at lakewood jade as the bad guys. and that's what people think about i enough in general to if we were giving a roach did owens a cargo van who can do nothing about it. but even if i must come of lindsey, we are killing though we are being reno owens, an assembly with the army. listen, we are now living in a nature reserve among side wild animals, and we can earn as much with them now as we do with goats and sheep. so i no longer shoot them immediately. the hyenas are perfectly adapted to the extreme desert conditions, an icy cold ben gala ocean current biologist mc favey has been studying the animals here for 7 years, and it's still fascinated by them. she's the science coordinator for a tourism company that supports conservation projects in the region.
5:50 am
i put a lot of respect why nash was to survive as a large scavenger in the days it it's, it's no mean feat m and it was every social. when the out they, they sonnet g. so you just see the single are you not out there, but when they back at the day when they are and cups at the dean, this a lot of social going on these a lot of time spent with a cups playing with cups grooming the cuffs. fair bay discovered a network of dens off the coast, where packs of strand wolves gathered to socialize and share their catch. they carry carcasses dozens of kilometers through the desert to fi to their comes in the dens. oh scavenger animals like these prevent diseases from spreading, making them important for livestock farming. but their reputation as predators means they're mercilessly hunted.
5:51 am
oh, oh lipa we put out poison food, lions for liquor to cheat us. and in the hyena suite b by catch of that, just people are afraid of fine. i said, people don't appreciate the value of brown. i know us and they skate of 9. i so people would, would throw stones at them. they would chase them with goss ah, ah, 7 years of drought have ravaged the region. the animals here have to travel ever greater distances in search of food. this means they cross paths with farmers like a manual glory rob, who are now losing more and more livestock to predators. today, that is the dental plays it. i'm a you caught the ear canal to reach it last week. went to like us to see christie's
5:52 am
goals 8 and she deal going to farmer emmanuel korea as a result of the lion attack, gary rob, last half of his heard a sizable financial loss for the farmer. the government compensates farmers after such incidents, but at a rate around half of market value went toward bull the wild animals from the desert. the lions, the elephants causes a lot of problems. we'll get graded, our quick one t, it's getting, well, we don't gain anything from having wild animals here. they bring us nothing, no more horde mark ah t we into a hole in our livestock, our, our income. how we earn our living, the whole drug at our ho near his stall, gary rob has discovered fresh hyena tracks on brown. hyenas don't hunt goats, but the tracks could have been made by spotted hyenas to a more aggressive species. lou liquid come gun. what if?
5:53 am
if the government doesn't take care of the hyenas, again, we have no choice or google play the dumb, cuz i mean, we have to shoot them. that's the plan on the mazda ah, when he was a cattle, her phineas casa owner, also killed hyenas in lions. today, he protects them. he's a ranger, a member of the unable community reserve. since the ninety's farmers like casa ana, have joined neighbors to create their own nature reserves, which now cover about one 5th of namibia land mass. last night, elephants rated neighbors vegetable patch. so for the next few nights casa, ona will stand guard, despite the problems they cause the farmers still want to protect the animals on your boat. like, oh, you know that didn't things have changed to programming in, i'm a younger she yet back in the day. if a hyena took one of your animals out,
5:54 am
you hunted it down and killed it on. been going yet, bowman, the air or the. today we live in a new world. i'm with laws that protect wild animals and we're going do you, how can we do it? we're more with envy. and if we take care of them, we can even live from them. so we should try to live together, work in no bible. that to hoop it, but we do better then we come back to local you one. whoa, whoa. farmers have agreed on limiting livestock so that both wild and farm animals can co exist. since animal populations increased attacks by wild predators have gone down. one ton of ebb earns its income from tourism and was able to install electricity and water connections and rebuild a preschool. lou back on the skeleton coast arranger informs fair bay that an elephant cap is missing. the biologist fears the worst. she finds the cap half way to a watering hole due to the ongoing drought. the mother couldn't lactate.
5:55 am
there is no hope for the young elephant. long periods of drought have made the fight for survival, even harder. hearing hyenas and other animals might search for new living environments. but with the help of researchers like mc fair bay and community based conservation efforts, there still a chance in namibia for people and animals to re adapt and for july out of the desert. i. oh, and we can only hope this succeed. we've come to the end of this week's program. thanks for watching. i will look forward to seeing you all again next week for now is good bye from lagos, nigeria. and it is also time for me to sign from uganda. but don't forget to share your thoughts and ideas with us at all on social media platforms. we love to hear
