have a warner. we had to e, kiki, the provincial capital sandwiched between the desert and the pacific. this used to be a depressed region until the container port was built here and the free trade zones off recreated. companies operating here enjoy tax exemptions, including apparel importers, unsold and used clothes from around the world, including germany are partly sold to buyers in the region, but an estimated 40 percent ends up in landfill sites. you know, when they go medina, it depends what's in the containers at the in some of it's in good condition have our but sometimes we have to throw low quality textiles in the dumb weapon. good venue. sheila is south america's main importer of used clothing in neighboring countries. it's illegal or restricted. the result is the vast dumping ground in the

desert. we meet dario blanco, head of keke, a free trade zone users association. he says the situation is improving. oh, boy with a few ok. he thought a what i can say is that the clothing important companies want to help things improve. they want to address the negative impact of their business model. the other the situation is definitely going to change it. but most of the clothing is made of synthetic fabrics and takes years to buy or degrade . this family sifting through the piles of used clothes or refugees from venezuela . they're looking for clothes they can wear and also anything they can sell. and i thought of on the 3rd go that the, my 2 children and i came through the desert. let me call it. we had to leave behind our suit, cases containing all our clothes. but we'd have never made it. but i wonder if i've used to pull my savings. glad every where we go. we see refugees who

have travelled through the desert despite the scorching midday sun. there is, family wants to keep going until they reach a key case where they hope to find work. the city is 200 kilometers away. the family looks exhausted. we normally see it's hot. oh, it took us 4 days to get it from the border. 20 kilometers away on board. we're not making much progress on that, but we haven't lost hope on a therapy kathy all my year, venezuelan refugees in chile often end up working for a pittance, including here in the landfills site. this one is 12000 kilometers from europe, but it doesn't take long for us to find items that are clearly from germany, data sites about your pop up. if we find discarded videos and a phone book from breyman bowl and cotton

is one of the world's highest situated countries. as an enclave, it's entirely surrounded by south africa and is largely economically dependent on its bigger neighbor. but the soto has something very valuable for drought played south africa water. increasingly, however, this provision of water for its neighbor is creating problems for both local people and the ecosystem. walter rich le soto is keeping thirsty south africa alive, but the tiny, landlocked country is paying a high price for it. we didn't anticipate to that, the dams here in the so to billy did miss on that is bringing over her wall will to the wall. i see nothing of the better life that they promised us would . rather, if it were up to me, i would decide against that building the damn the needful water. i saw a lovely car grains high and the soles of such water remains the little islands

were approved. we have been able to divert water add to us how africa, but we are limited by the quality of our environment. the pit i had one night back when the children were growing up. this was a beautiful and peaceful village. we looked out for each other. nobody here went to bed hungry, but look what happens now, horse people don't trust each other any more. it's just not the same. here in much harbor, right, he sees village phase 2 of the le soto highlands water project started 3 years ago . one of 5 damages is being built here to supply water to neighboring south africa . the entire village has been moved to another location where the construction work hit us hard. they had promised us jobs and our,

our children are supposed to be earning something from this. but instead, they're out of work for about a while. other people in south africans get the jobs we go hungry one and they also took our fields till another about glasses, the cornfields and grazing land. now, how's construction workers? far from leading to greater prosperity, the damn has brought misery for residence. driving 8000 people from their homes. the water will flow to south africa's financial hub, johannesburg, 400 kilometers away. for the 16000000 people in the city and surrounding province la, so toes dams a vital and already provide 60 percent of their water since the project is financed with south african taxpayers money. eulissa kline hans has been monitoring it for a long time. he works for the organization outer,

which seeks to expose corruption and mismanagement, urbanized ations taking place and future development. then expansion of business needs more water. the problem is we are only very limited to the water that we have in south africa. we don't have innovative technologies and circulated infrastructure yet to recycle water. and currently we highly rely on the las jar lens face to scheme to provide future demands. it's one of the largest infrastructure projects in africa and is supposed to benefit both sides. south africa, paisley soto, nearly $17000000.00 euros a year for the water. under soto uses the dams to generate electricity for its population of the local project manager from the list. so time highlands authority tells us, let him 5 years time. the dumb wool will stand right, hair, 5000 hectares of land will them be flooded?

as we are all away, this kind of projects would have social impacts and environmental impacts. and i, we, as the project headline, number of fi programs, which had been there, these customer lead vocal many desert, as ways that means ha, ha, ha, mitigating against the laws of land. that the laws over there, grazing alia, fin perpetual mer to sea sick, we heard exactly the same promises 24 years ago when the cap saddam was built. all other dams feet that water into this reservoir, from where it's piped to south africa. sick we works for the se and only legal center. it's helping local people like here in the village of maha. lang to now claim the compensation they were promised. yeah, i mean it's a while on. yeah. oh yeah, i'm with, as everyone knows yeah,

i wrote that you were severely impacted by the construction of the dam. will you? he writes, have been traveled on may about more. we all know why your water springs have run dry load. my, which i own will have it for yellow, maybe it in the game. can that then we had decided to use the money to get our village connected up to electricity in all yet. but the development authority has done nothing. all again, we're still waiting for power in my polling. my bid in the area declare late, i don't tell them when i say, yeah, we also promised compensation for the loss of our homeland and the pain we had because of the resettlement. how could i help? some people here got injured during the move wouldn't be too much to this day. we have not received anything really got a blue moon on the body to us conceived jill bye to

andy milk had teak governments of south africa opposed to the gym and the military regime in minnesota, those governments did not have mandate from the people they did. did they say a need for the review or basically to the project is also threatened by massive soil erosion. the construction of the dams, along with overgrazing and the climate change mean more and more soil is being eroded by the rain and ends up in reference. a sediment in many places only by a rock remains totally to say, lay as a consultant for a national project. the aims to protect the photos, rivers, work as hair rebuilding low walls into the hillside to reduce the speed and force of rain water run off and prevent erosion. they also remove invasive shrubs,

but what otherwise white powder endemic pants? he's roots help to keep the soil in place with the current erosion. the life of such dems would be fairly compromised the lifetime, because in no time there will be more full of sediment done water. so this would be lost investment and therefore we depend largely on biodiversity, the type of visit to the neighbors infiltration of water. oh really? oh oh. we went to weird for 10 more. yes, there will be time will not be able to produce anything. and then

we become a failed state. in my opinion, i read the rings of saving this or letting me know miss or popular ingredients in cold drinks. the green fruits of a cold, delicious refreshment, and a lot of vis him in to $100.00 milliliters of lime juice contains 30 milligrams of vitamin c less than lemons. but still impressive. mexico is the world's largest exporter of citrus rates. in 2020 it exported more than 800000 tons of lemons and limes. now, however, the mafia is getting involved as the evening descends over the yucatan peninsula. david medina gets out his single barrel shotgun. he inherited the 20 gauge harrington from his grandfather. it may be an antique weapon,

but it does the job. horrible, but a vertical deal. i need the gun to defend my limes from being stolen. little girls . i don't want to kill any one. i just shoot into the air and then they run away with horror for either a search and lime prices has turned his farm into a growing small fortune. hence the night time thieves for them a crate of lines means enough food for several days. let it run through zillow with parlor. they come here and fill up their rucksacks, or sometimes in groups of 5. and they take several crates for about $5000.00 pesos worth 0, single carbon photographer the equivalent of 230 years losses. that really add up the 76 year old sometimes stays out until dawn on the lookout for suspicious activity. for a referral, i'll stay out for

a little while longer and we'll see if anything moves or if i hear something more, a 2 hour drive away. my fellow avila patrols his family's orchard together with his father, brother and nephew. thieves have struck here countless times in the process also destroying the next month. harvest. when the rope of the universe, as they pack limes into the clothes, they tear at all the trees around them. and in the morning we see that the smaller limes have also fallen off the mancha. you the 2 episodes in mexico's growing plague of lime crime, triggered by market price increases, leaving farmers fighting against thieves and customers with high prices would have risen $3.00 or 4 fold since the end of 2021. mexicans eat an average of 18 killers of the fruit per year, a stable fruit that served with practically every dish. all of these are,

those are bug in everything from stews to tar goes. you need limes in early, more eb without it. normally we'd buy a key low, but these days only a quarter kilo, because prices of risen, so much marcial. but it's comic relief content on social media with limes depicted as green gold as a cash alternative or a commodity. transported in armored security vans as engagement rings for making people millionaires behind the soaring prices. there are several factors, the climate, the season, and the state of me to walk on. the land here ought to be covered in lime green. but fighting cartels left farmers in the crossfire forcing many of them to quit with them. he bullied such others has decided to stand his ground defying the criminals with his own vigilante group. he's the only farmer here, willing to talk on camera. i'm going to have found the others they're afraid of

getting killed if they talk every one he says, pays protection money one way or the other, whether for the harvests or their transportation, that gives the cartels a share of profits while pushing prices. any one refusing to pay up is threatened, or worse, montana kill traders. i'm going in and fixed line prices in, in, in facility more. how is they attack you and dictate how much you have to pay them? and then the pseudo hopelessly of the campaign and a single mama. well in wiley chavez is determined to carry on the struggle come what may hill was only me see who i lost one of my sons studies and a lot of friends who fought alongside me on bunyan. it's a pain that you're on will very deep kiss or you will, none of them. other farmers have already fled the violence, leaving behind tens of thousands of trees to wither away with no one to harvest their fruits. and that gap in supply on the market is

a further reason for the rise in prices back in you can turn the farmers at least don't have the cartels to worry about just the petty line. think it was allowed one woman that local law enforcement provide support for the farmers patrols squire example. police chief nelson. avi law has been analyzing the thieves tactics. it okay are say let them alone. what do they do? they don't come in through the main entrance. they cut themselves a path through here to gain access to the premises when it, the thought is that i don't know if that well, he hopes crisis will come down a little soon and that com will be restored to the community. he currently had his 5 lime thieves a week together with their whole if he is for employer that this batch here is stolen goods look into this and the themes won't say where they're from them. so that means we don't know who to return them to some of those apprehended,

i'll repeat offenders, but there is little the police can do to the frustration of the farmers and order it by family, mournful the quantity stolen by each individual is too small to charge them up, so they're held in custody for $24.00 or 36 hours, whether it's a facial, some of them have to do a little cleaning work somewhere before they're released within sadly made others this night has been a calm and quiet one for lime farmer. david medina, he summoned to sharmen in order to keep it that way. together they make a sacrificial offering of herbs to the sacred deities. brother be asked to name was an esl. we do this because we have faith that will work so that we're able to harvest our fruit, want dinner. and i also pray for the line prices to stabilize, so that farmers like him can earn enough and sleep peacefully again.
