and channel stewby. here in nigeria. my name is crystal omes are with me, is my charming co host saga hello from capella. i am sandra, twin over you wonder for to have you with us, and hopefully we're going to inspire you. we bit climate heroes and innovative ideas to improve the environment and also clean up nature. coming up on the, shall we head to somalia. wesley, a drought is making life difficult for the holidays. we also visit farmers in britain while reduced the amount of newfound cows emits and go to gambia. where is such as of teamed up with local people to collect climate data on the gambia river electron mobility, either starting to take off in africa, many new initiatives or looking for ways to expand the sustainable technology. now in some cities, among public transport is getting on board. when reason

a living are in mobility trouble solutions and kenya is really taking the long by loans in climate friendly bonds. to cut melissa on, lead victoria with as dusk fools jerrod or t n. a heads out on to lake victoria. since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe. im exhaust fumes and it's not as noisy. oliver or chinney was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to be careful with domain. so any throw tips. it might order me get contact with her manila you the

1st 3 all the year. so removing you'd have gum cumbersome reviews. one you just do just automatically come up with him and he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called or silver gilbert. every morning he returns the used batteries and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set. a sofa rents out the motors for the equivalent of around $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. the dutch startup, as silva had to do a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors from germany here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water, the fishermen have to call their rescue number that we can resolve on call. but

sometimes when their technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency in unluckily with every new customer receives a free training session. so it depends on the graphic little in just a few days. they learned the most important things that reverse m theory were then practice on the water to get used to the email. that was the 1st movie and local joshua on the rooker has been involved since the start and understands what the fishermen need. the company we, lou lou lou will need to to do some modification on only the list that, that the inital mortgagee cover. luca, i'll official, man, most of them try to go find the stance

a silver is working to improve the situation, but it's made contact with companies and kenya and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate in these like unbelief buddies will make them more duleigh, said the dorsal we much, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if, if a customer to go far, we give them more bodies, then we charge this rich, i'd feed, but, but to the lake you want to go far. we give you full batteries, you want to go short distance. we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. a sobel as the 1st company in kenya to invest in e, mobility on water, and one of the few in general on the countries e markets. electric mobility is still in its infancy here. there are some electric cars and buses and even some e bikes. warren,

on don gay rides, one of them. he's a member of a e. m. d, a, an association that provides a platform for the nearly 20 companies investing in e mobility in kenya. the aim is to organize a lobby, urging politicians to promote electric vehicles. people are excited about immobility, endo petite, is that he brings. it has tremendous environment of benefits, but unless we have the right incentives to allow for the final price and the value to the customer to be affordable than immobility might just as well be another illusion that little struggle that gets towards around $25000.00 folks are out on lake victoria every day, and many of them belong to kenyan fishermen who used combustion engines, which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get small, silver sy printed from the light. and they catch quote, as have also declined in recent years. jared or tina is wife and mother take care

of the catch every morning. first drawing it and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main source of income for the family of 12. they also use the money to pay the school fees for their, for children. and they've even managed to build a 2nd boat. jared atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he has a plan for his family, get my father one source of sherman, then now is mere fishing. then what of my children saw out of this one? i'm praying god really that my children not to be fishing was. so the sooner the better another system does, why now i'm so put in a do cushion for friday, who did we shouldn't for from bare b if they employ to be can change my our life. jared aquino has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors, but he and a sofa,

a still among the pioneers of e mobility and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to like victoria and it's fish. it is an encouraging start setting, a good example and spreading the wide ease of great, which is park a positive change for the environment. absolutely. sandra. other have another example of that from england. the toss family knows that cows don't just supply us with meat and milk. the, our digestive process emits lots of the greenhouse gas methane after trying out various ways to reduce those emissions. they've come up with a promise in solution close exude a certain com. they're also very intelligent and a key source of food for humanity. john and edward towers have

a special bond with these animals. father and son are dairy farmers in northern england. their only concern is that they cows produce large quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. wheaton solve the problems that we've got with an industry, and it's affecting upon and a bad way. we can't produce milk and people can drink milk. we need to solve these problems as an industry for industry to carry on because it is not serving upon it . well, we shouldn't have it. there is some 1500000000 cows on the planet. they produce a 3rd of the world's methane emissions, mainly through their belching. this makes them a climate hazard. so the towers are experimenting with a new type of feed supplement made from garlic and citrus. it influences enzymes in the cow stomach and in testing ah,

the result is astonishing. the kinds of mit left me think the toe is received regular visits from other farmers, an agricultural expert like these representatives from a livestock auction house. the towers want their visitors to recommend the new product so that more farmers can reduce their carbon footprint. is about 50 percent of most farms. carbon footprint is that, and sorry me, found a machine, so it would then knock your and frankly knock our product down by about 15 percent in terms of the overall carbon footprint. this is the product we're, we've been fading. so the goal, his exercise that is fairly strong smelling, if you want to have a low with getting close to offer me the tentative that cow's milk, such as soy oats, an element, milk, have been gaining popularity in recent years. that's

a trend. the towers find very concerning their family has lived in lancashire, for centuries. farm as he is say, the soil, it too poor for most crops. but perfect for girls to graze on me. to check cindy is something from a john tow it sees as his special responsibility the fail. i'm very fortunate to be working with the younger generation of my family who are probably more foresighted than i am. and they could see the change coming faster than i could see common. and they've driven our business in that direction to face the challenge and to adapt our market to what our consumer is actually looking for. feeding the garlic supplement to the 400 cal costs the towers about 20000 euro. here it's tell us to note will be

a part of emissions trading and future, allowing pharmacy to offset the additional costs. he has many more plans for the future. i want to put solar panels on and i want to have electric charges and i want to, you know, have a have a. busy cobra vill again so that i can capture them a fan and use it for instructors only things cost money and if we do them all at once, run out of caution. i'm, we're a terrible example even more than ideas we're going to work. and so it's a case if i'm sometimes raining in your ambitions or making sure you got partnerships with other companies also have the same kind of values issue. john, how is said many farm is that old school? i'm reluctant to change, but father and son aim to do everything in their power to make other dairy farmers more climate conscious. and they have one good argument in their favor. then milk doesn't taste if gornick at all. according

to the european statistical office, the average european generator just shy of 180 killers of packaging waste in 2019 figures varied from each country. of course, as the the rate of recycling in many places a big contributor to the waste heat comes from the food to leave respect. what business is the starting to take a proactive approach to the issue? here is the 6 doing your beats, blah, pizza boxes, beverage cubs, and other takeaway, try spill out of the way. spins in many cities. it's a huge burden on the environment because next to none of it can be recycled. 770 tons of such packaging is tossed that every day in germany alone. but some restaurants and startups have started providing customers with re usable alternatives. our regular customers love

it. they pay us more deposit, get their food ready to serve and bring back the teams the next day. so when i and elsewhere, bullshit, containers like these can be both for feed via nap. after you use customers have up to 14 days to return them. the history guardian is the manufacturer guarantees $200.00 cycles missionary looks when they get worn out there recycled into a new material here at a grocery store in cologne and app releases a bowl from a dispenser which customers can fill up for themselves. only the contents are weighed and paid for. after being returned to a collection point, the containers are picked up and taken to be cleaned the for now initiatives like these a voluntary but very se to change as of next year, restaurants and cafes in germany will be required to offer their customers reusable

containers for food and beverages. mm hm. and how about you? if you are also doing your bid, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweak hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories that you in word through the program says that somalia faces the very real risk of famine in the common months drought conditions in the hall of africa have grown ever worse. over the past 3 years, millions of large storks of perished in somalia, 30 percent of households of lost their herds since meet 2021. even hardy heat resistant carmel said, died. now some heard us i head in for somali is biggest city in the hopes of saving them. it is breakfast time in the better camel farm. on the outskirts of the somali

capital, mogadishu, one or 2 animals, have found something to chew on, but they are all pretty hungry. all eyes are all the activity at the age of the enclosure, in the heaps of freshly cut grass leaves, and 3 tis to morsels for the english, but also vitality to their health. these nothing to graze on the cindy ground. a sun, abdomens of b, a is the fund manager. a head this size typically is more room to room, but space year is limited. there are a lot of the really al your or her. you face so many challenges when you bring candles to the city and all new router and also has the animals need to be trained to live on the small area. yeah, cobra. so that requires a lot of patience and experience. the all the other challenges of finding enough food for the camels in the city and ensuring the provided the things build geared

from the desert. see the nerve who were all high. finally, the gate is opened year in the enclosure that is more than enough for every one that wasn't always the case when they had had to scrounge for food out on the open plains, just as camels here have done for centuries. or what duncan good already my dear, when the draught struck the countryside where camels traditionally leave, there was nothing to graze on and a short fall offering. it forced us to move our animals here to the city all. so legit no are so highly. so malia is one of the country's heat, particularly hard by climate change. persistent drought is slowly destroying the traditional grazing length. the vegetation is dying back, and water holes are drying out even camels, which can survive long stretches on very little a dying from thirst or hunger. the despair filled their who st. ibrahim was seen in

other head as is going by the day their flocks are shrinking. become old simply cannot find enough to eat in the bushland of the launch of billy ridge in eastern somalia and i knew february we had us talk a lot about how to get our candles away from here and find new grazing areas because it hasn't rained in so long drought is everywhere. how if it gets worse and we can't be dar camel's, we'll have to abandon them and go to the city to civil children and ourselves. callaghan, the milan, many somalis are moving to the capital to escape the effects of climate change. mogadishu population has doubled, 2400000 people over the last 20 years. it was in that growing market that her son abdulla months, abriya recognized in opportunity soft alcala, in turn, good data. another reason brought us candles to the c. t is to provide fresh milk to the people who live in mogadishu and its surrounding areas. in the past,

people have to go to law areas to get it all on are now we can deliver it freshly milt. right here in the board. i knew about his own obama. ellen, on his looking, is done every day in the bed, a camel from much to the displeasure of the young calls. but business takes precedence. was it i ariellas logo holligan, alamo dollar. we sell one liter of volcano milk for $2.00, and i saw how the alba i had also the i tie we normally produce 900 to 1000 liters of come no milled every day for the 9 on plane on by the lawyer. and this is normal if demand is high, we increase all new production to meet the needs of our customers and clean on lead are come later said al, am all the other, the fresh milk if immediately loaded up and taken to the city. restaurants in hotels are important. customers come

o milk is very nutritious impact with vitamins making popular, not just in somalia with business who me the better coming from can afford to buy concentrate feeds for the animals. it's an important way of making up for drought related food shortages being the camel's to the city. his turned out to be a good move, but not everyone can afford to do the same. so instead was st. ibrahim or sing plans to her own with his camels, in the hope of finding enough food in water elsewhere, or from somali elder is coast without hurts to the west coast and the cumbia, the smallest country in midland africa there 2 people are struggling to adapt to climate change, while drought ease a major problem in many areas, people who leave in the reverse may seem fortunate, but increasing me salt water is sipping into fresh water sources,

which of course disrupts the natural ecosystem and even the ability to farm basic crops. now, one initiative is bringing together scientists and the local people to make a very big difference. oh, good. when we think every change, as carefully noted in you each week cardiac to clarity and at the see not david davis collect environmental data from the aquatic and terrestrial echo systems in 6 locations along the gambia river. right now i'm recording the parameters we have here, which is their temperature humidity, the wind speed, the wind chill, the air pressure, altitude, due point, and the wind direction. the effects of climate change are causing hardship for many who lived near the river. for centuries been help subsisted on small scale fishing

and farming man groups, which will to salt out of the water made that possible, but duty to rise and sea level and extensive droughts. the reverse salt content got so high, it's killed many cheese. that's been disastrous for farmers like fat to mutter barrow ha car toyota. we used to harvest rice here down, but now the yield is low am would when the mongoose were healthy, nowhere, no problems are on them. but they are now dead. and our crops are not doing well when they, when enroll, monitor not a lot of research has been done on bio diversity, india varmints in the gumbo. so that makes predict the impact climate change might have on local ecosystems more difficult. that inspired 10 young scientists to launch the gems initiative. jazz is an acronym program, the environmental measurement systems project,

and it is the research project lambires collecting environmental data along their veneers. understand this is not an yellow fluctuations happening, but what's away is almost 1200 kilometers long. so the institutes rely on the support of community based groups and locals, like c double a journalist by trade double works as a citizen scientist, 20 kilometers from the capital banjo. my role as it citizen data collector is to collect data and then send to them every week and also to and some students along with me to also be gone. know how to collect data. i decide to participate in this prayer because if you look at this area, you will see that it's already dead. here in the lower river division, the di back is extensive mangrove stamps thought an otherwise empty landscape. live in the coastline exposed. it's no longer possible to maintain fills through title irrigation from the river. the loss of the man gross also means

a loss of double hopes to restore the mangled forest. but with a different, more robust variety. thanks that he did as required regressing shoot, reanne been able to know the salinity level of, of the water and secondary. i've been able to identify the species of mangrove re, half within our echo system. they observe a lot of sort a lag before wendy hours. not 30 sort in tucson is higher. we're now house demand was our sort of torah label the absolve, let or so that has made a decrease in salinity level within the woman raised futrell matter. borrow was been gwin rice. here for 20 years hawks, the newly planted red mongrels will give her crops a fighting chance. y'all. well, we thank god, what a new man gross along the river asked

a grueling less salt. we'll get through gardening island while wounded. since august 2021 more than 850000 mongers having planted in the gum down river delta in order to concept ecosystem. the symbiosis of scientific knowledge and local engagement as barren food quality water is indispensable, and is sasha to life as other people walk hard to protect it? that is all for this edition of equal africa, it is time for me to be do farewell from complex. i and sandra tween audio and i will definitely be seeing you again next week. and i was just like to remind you that vase and other additions of a co africa can be viewed online, drop off the line and tell us how you like the show. or she has some of your stories on projects that support the environment where you leave. for now i am chris alam, signing off from nigeria. ah
