ah, listen carefully. don't know how you need to go. ah, feel the magic discover the world around you. subscribe to d w documentary on youtube. a hello and welcome to a new edition of echo africa. the weekly environment show brought to you by daughter bella, in germany, mtv and uganda,

and channels debbie. 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 or drunk is making life difficult for the holidays. we also visit farmers in britain while reduced the amount of newfound cows and mix . and go to gun via wary such as of teamed up with local people to collect climate data on the ganga 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 city, among public transport is getting on board. when reason living in mobility couple solutions and kenya is really taking the long by loans in climate renewed bonds to cut the listed on leg victoria with as dusk falls, jared 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 stubborn. so any throw tips. it might order me get contact with

a manila you this 1st tree all the gear saw removing, you'd have gum cumbersome reviews. one you just do just automatically come up with him. he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called or softball gilbert. every morning he returns the used batteries and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set. a sober 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 a look at it, every new customer receives a free training session. so it depends on kathy's little in just a few days, they learned the most important things that reverse my theory. well, then practice on the water to get used to the email. that was the 1st movie and local. joshua rocha has been involved since the stars and understands what the fishermen need. the company we lou lou lou will need to, to do some more difficult on i'm only really sad that the inital mobility cover alaska, our fishermen, most of them tried to go find the stars

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 tried this rich, i'd feed, but to like you and 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 sofa is the 1st company in kenya to invest an 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 an emergency in kenya. the aim is to organize a lobby urging politicians to promote electric vehicles. people are excited about e mobility, endo party, to 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 ruth struggle gets towards around $25000.00 votes 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 silva cypress from the lake. and there catch quotas 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 jewelry saw out of this one? i'm praying, god willing that my should i know to beat fishing was so these to do that was to another system does why now i'm so i'll put it in the discussion for friday. would additional from bare b if they're employed to be can change my our life. jared, a t n o has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors.

but he and a silvo are 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 part of positive change for the environment. absolutely. sandra. other have another example of that from england. the tall somberly, those that cows don't, your suppliers with meter milk. they are digestive process, emits lots or the greenhouse gas methane after trying out various ways to reduce those emissions. they've come up with a promise in solution cows exude a certain calm. 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 of it's not serving upon it. well, we should 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 and agricultural experts. like these representatives from ally stop auction house. the, i always want their visitors to recommend the new product so that more farmers can reduce their carbon trip. print is about 50 percent of most farms. carbon footprint is that and certainly a fellow machine. so it would then knock your, in fact, the knock our product down by about 15 percent in terms of the overall carbon footprint. this is the product we're, we've been feeding. so the galaxy citrus that shot is fairly strong smelling. if you want to have a lot of where they don't get too close, got, so i'll knock your socks off, but the mill tentative stick cow's milk, such as soy oat, 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. farmers, he is say the soil is too poor for most crops, but perfect for girls to graze on. protecting the air is something farmer john towers sees as his special responsibility. a fail, i am very fortunate to be working with the younger generation of my family who are probably more foresighted than i am. and there 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 for that $400.00 pounds cost. the tower is about

20000 years a year. it's how is that the milk 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 let you know, however, her caravel again, so that i can capture them. if i don't use it for instructors all things cost money, and if we do them all at once, last cache and number a terrible example evening or the idea is we're going to work. and so as 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 tao is says many farm is up 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 pocket and 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, the lever sector. but business is a starting to take a proactive approach to the issue. here is the 6 doing your big ha, 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. $770.00 tons of such packaging is tossed out every day in germany alone. but some restaurants and startups have started providing customers with reusable

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 bold for feed ryan app. after you use customers have up to 14 days to return them. the history guardian is the manufacturer guarantees 200 cycles missionary looks when they get worn out there recycled into a new material here at a grocery store in cologne. an 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 or tweet hash tag doing your bit we share your stories. the you in word sooth program says that somalia faces the very real risk of famine in the common months drought conditions in the whole of africa have grown ever worse. over the past 3 years. millions of large stalks of parish in somalia, 30 percent of how suits of last of the a hertz since meet 2021. even haughty heat. resistant carmel said died. not some her this i had in for so molly's biggest city, in the hopes off saving them. it is breakfast time at the bed

a 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 edge of the enclosure, in the heaps of freshly cut grass leaves, and 3 tis to morsels for the english, but also vital to their health. these nothing to graze on the cindy ground. a sun, abdomens of beer is the fund manager. a head, his size typically is more room to room, but space here is limited. there are a lot of the regular al your a couple are. you face so many challenges when you bring candles to the city center or not. and also has the animals need to be trained to live on the small area your cobra. so that requires a lot of patience and experience the all the other challenges are finding enough food for the camels in the city and ensuring be provided the things they would get

from the does it see the nerve who were all, all high. finally, the gate is opened year in the enclosure that is more than enough for everyone. 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. where what dunkin good or ruined you, anybody or when the draught struck the countryside? where camels traditionally leave, there was nothing to graze on any shortfall offering it forced us to move our animals here to the city. all. so largely no, actually. 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 v, belittle a dying from thirst or hunger. the despair filled there 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 lot of billy region in eastern somalia on her fabric. 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. come, drought is every way. if it gets worse and we can't be door camels, 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 called naca. another reason we brought our camels 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. hold on now we can deliver it freshly, milt right here in the ne board annual about is our little bombay on, on, is looking, is done every day in the bed, a camel from much to the displeasure of the young calls. but business takes precedence the seattle is low, low holligan, alamo dollar. we sell one liter of our com, no 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 know milk every day of school, the 9 on plane on. but in our yoga. and this is normal. if demand is high, we increase all new production to meet the needs of our customers and clean on layla. come later said al, am all the other. the fresh milk is immediately loaded up and taken to the city. restaurants in hotels are important. customers come

o milk is very nutritious impact with rita means making popular, not just in somalia with business to me. the better cardinal farm can afford to buy concentrate feeds for the animals. it's an important way of making up for drought related food shortages being the camels 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 same plans to own with his camels, in the hope of finding enough food in water elsewhere, or from somali on the east coast without hurts to the west coast. and the cambia was wallace 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 any rivers may seem fortunate, but increasing me salt water is sipping into fresh water sources. which of course

disrupt 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, when when he thinks of every change as carefully noted, m u h week cardiac to clarity and to see not david davis collect environmental data from the aquatic on terrestrial echo systems in 6 locations along the gumby river. right now i'm recording the parameters we have here, which is their temperature humidity, the wind speed, the wind chill, the air treasure, altitude due point, and the wind action, the effects of climate change are causing hardship for many who live near the river . for centuries,

they help subsist that on small scale fission and farming man groups, which will to salt out of the water made that possible. but due to the 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 mata barrow ha, car or data. we used to harvest rice here down, but now the yield is low, am will wend among gross, we're healthy, big nowhere, no problem. solomon, why they are now dead. and our crops are not doing well when they, when low quantity not a lot of research has been done on bio diversity, india environments in the gum. yeah. 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 jazzes alike learning program, their environmental measurement systems project. and it is the research project we

have our college in environmental data along there. again, ms. 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 and the other collector is to collect data and then send to them every week and also to in 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 mangroves also means

a loss of habitat and beating ground for fish and other aquatic life. the fresh water fish have moved further upstream. with the help of international n g use and volunteers and so mana double pops to restore the among gulf forest, but with a different, more robust variety, tungsten dead as required, regressing, she should really been able to know the salinity level of, of the water. and sec o'leary, i've been able to identify this piece of mangrove, re half within our echoes houston. they observe a lot of sort a lag before wendy. i was not 3 salt into sunnyside, but now how is the mongols are so tolerable? they absolve. let us or that has made a decrease in salinity level between the woman rice.

for too much a barrel, was been gwyn rise here for 20 years hawks, the newly planted redman gross will give her crops a fighting chance. y'all while we thank god, what a new man gross along the river asked a grueling less salt. we'll get through gardening along and while wounded since august 2021 more than 850000. munger was having planted in the gum down river delta, in order to conserve de eco system. the symbiosis of scientific knowledge and local engagement as bear and fruit quality water is indispensable, and is sasha to life as other people who walk hard to protect it. that is all for this edition of equal africa. it is time for me to bid you farewell from capella. i am sandra, twin odeo, 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,
