without the abundantly god, ah, well, don't worry. it will all start up again soon. and as legal football, action goals, all in on kick off starts august 9th here on t w. finally. done a hello and welcome to this new edition of equal africa, the environment program, a cool production of channel. stevie in nigeria, germans d, w, and n t v right here in uganda. i am sandra twin over here,

and with me of course is my colleague, chris. hey there, sandra, all is nice to see you. we got a lot of inspiring stories on programs about people who are committed to making a difference to the health and well bit of our plot it. here is a quick look at what's coming up. a conservationist and ambia who is pointing to say fine us up history, sharing germany using an honest, better super food in his creations and an architect in egypt was devoted a courier to sustainable development with, with start the show with wonderful creatures, sea turtles. but these animals faced numerous threat include in plastic, pollution, poaching and loss of habitat. now in south africa, researchers are working hard to understand what can be done to improve the chances

for the leather back sea turtle, which has the word small as breeding population of large c churches species. ah, the word for something wondrous in the pseudo language is, is the manually. so a fitting name for this wetland arc in south africa. it's rich biodiversity under the spot that you now schools, world heretic list. but it has another crucial role as south africa's last remaining nesting sight of the world's largest sea turtle. the leather back, the native species has been protected for decades, yet the population is stagnating. a team of researchers is trying to find out why the research that we've done so far is indicated that the nice thing beaches hair are incredibly well protected and that the habitat is very good. we get very high hatching success. so i would suggest to us that it's not on the beach us where the

problems are every year in early november, some 70 let the backs come to the beach to nest. after sunset, ronald nel and her team seek them out to take a variety of measurements and biological samples. the reptiles can weigh over 600 kilograms. some have to me to long shells. biologists also fit them with a satellite tag, which allows them to learn more about their lives. it will tell us whether she's going to a good foraging ground or whether she's actually interacting with the threats such as fisheries, or whether she ends up an apartment for ocean, which is a huge amount of pollution. so we will know in real time way, she is what condition she is at how she behaves and what the threats are that she's facing. in addition to bocce and habitat destruction, other less direct threats continue to post problems. turtles easily becoming

tangled and goes ness, and if they're unable to free themselves, they drown. another problem. as plastic waste see turtles feed on crabs, alkie and jellyfish, and plastic bags and floating macro plastics look a lot like food. once ingested, the plastic and rupture organs are caused blockage resulting is debating in order to protect the leather back. c turtles on land. the authorities also a boy turtle monitors from the local community. they patrol the beaches during lesson season, mark the nests and measure the turtles. when gannon luly explains how this also benefits the local communities. marvin clark, i protect to the turtles, their nest and hatchlings. the tories will keep coming to see them with looking after these sea creatures horn could help in shore, my community and future generations who have a chance to earn an income from the industries that are much of our problem.

sciences have been fitting leather back to satellite tax over 20 years, but the new tags allow the researchers to monitor the movement along south africa's coast. far more accurately, the data indicates that the turtles covered distances of up to 7000 kilometers, traveling as far north the central angola, which makes protected them even more challenging. as a species is extremely migratory. our sponsibility and national government is to coordinate the efforts that work towards kind of asian management and protection that can facilitate consistent protection of the species across national boarded. and within the context of this project, we are trying to establish that the best possible find is being used to identify both critical sites for the species. whether it's partying, nesting or migration, but also to assist our regional partners and identifying these areas. in addition

to the large animals, the research is collect blood samples to help better understand their genetics one year. this will help provide a clear picture of the general health of the population. the research is hoped that the combination of the different data will show where protection measures can be improved every time that i see a leather back, it is like looking back into evolutionary time. i mean, they are 65000000 years old and they've been doing this ritual ever since. and the realities that they are so, or now they are critically endangered species. so my hope for they mr. actually that we can make a difference in the conservation that these numbers would recover and that we actually have a much larger population and that everybody should be experiencing this wonderful event. the teams research is already paid off in 2019 the government designated several new marine conservation areas and greatly expanded these in magazines. so

wetland park and the marine protected area thanks to the information collected by the new tags, the scientists were able to prove that the leather bags don't just remain near the coast line. they also travel great distances off shore. sea turtles have powerful from flippers to propel them through the water. it's easy to see how they are capable of covering long distances. but many other species spend a lot of time on the move to. one of the most impressive is the arctic turn. every year the birds fly on outstanding, 90000 kilometers, back and forth between the polls. dancer really ease amazing. we humans may not manage what so much over the course of a year. bond for the right reason. we can go pretty far. and for next report we got to zimbabwe, where a group of people prove that they know how to put

a lot of tea into the activism. ah, this group of environmental activists has a long road ahead of them. they plan to walk 142 kilometers across in bob way in 3 days. but it's not just for fun or exercise in zimbabwe. more than $262000.00 hecht hairs of forest land is lost every year. much of the wood is used or sold as firewood. the friends of the environment initiatives wants to raise awareness about the damage caused by deforestation. to support that message, the activists to plant trees and share information along the way. the goal, different places their places, if they're not, she's intuitive. we teach people. if we go we've lunches,

if we go over all these keys, our future reneged them she the life the walkers have finally reached their destination. but that's just one reason to celebrate. the activists managed to plant around $1000.00 saplings and thanks to commitments from participating tree nurseries, a lot more will follow the walk upon campaigns have been taking place for more than 10 years. so far, friends of the environment has helped plant around $35000000.00 trees. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. just hearing about the long

walks gives me the arch to have a cup of tea and perhaps something sweet to go with. it's in germany for many families as sunday afternoons are filled with baked goods, coffee and a kick. now, with a mind to the environment, one pastry chef has formed a way to make testy tablets that include a very heated, unexpected ingredients. this bakery in southern germany creates pastries, with an unconventional feeling, ludovic sublime audit to devise climate frenzy treats. so he's using algae as an ingredient in japan. the aquatic plant is commonly used in snacks or served with fish. so how if the pastry has been faring in bavaria with its own culinary traditions, as i was going by your people at 1st said, what's that? i don't like bish law, so it wasn't easy done the whole not. but thanks to our social media posts what

more people started trying it and realized it was pretty nice of us when they found out it didn't taste like bish but quite not even good. it stop being a problem than and she knew quite the opposite. in fact. busy them stuck representatives and again time he grows his ality at the technical university of munich. so far under lab conditions, thomas book has spent years researching how the organisms essential nutrients can benefit our food supply. olga with irish valgy is the new super food because it absorbs c o 2 while growing and has a positive impact on the climate. it's photosynthetic efficiency is $3.00 to $4.00 times higher than any land plant. and it grows 10 times faster, while actively removing c o 2 on so eating algy products helps the environment of a big prima woodson in the back portal to this. pastry chef ludovic jack black, now has a whole range of different snacks made from algae. and in many cases,

their green credentials are clearly visible in their natural color. and with flavors also including chalk, carmel, raspberry, and white chocolate. no sweet tooth goes unsatisfied. people who leave in rural areas and know how difficult it can be to co exist with predatory animals wanting a line in the grass in a national park may be exciting for the tourists bonnet. the farmers tend to view them as a threat to their livelihood. often for good reason, sandra, but not all wide live behaved the same way. conservationist an amoeba. i'll try to get more people to recognize some of the differences in order to protect both wild and domesticated animals. the skeleton coast and northwestern namibia is home to brown hyenas, also known as strand wolves. i know is a very important in the ecosystem,

and i've got a very important role to play at lakewood jade as the bad guys. and that's what people think about i enough in general, who if we're giving a roach, is always a cut over and we can do nothing about it. but even if i must come of lindsey, we are killing no real big green though omens assembly up in the field. we listen, we are now living in a nature reserve among side wild animals. we can earnest 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. i've put a lot of respect. boy nash was to survive as a large scavenger in the days it it's, it's no mean feat m and it was a re social when the out the they sonnet g. so you just see the sing i enough out they. but when they back at the dean when they are and cups at the been, there's a lot of social going on these a lot of time spent with a cups playing with cups grooming the cuffs. fairville discovered a network of dens off the coast, where packs of sand wolves gather to socialize and share their catch. ah, they carry carcasses dozens of kilometers through the desert to fi to their comes in the dens, own scavenger animals like these prevent diseases from spreading, making them important for livestock for me. ah. but their reputation as predators means they're mercilessly hunted.

oh oh, people would put out poison for lions for liquor to cheat us. and in the hyenas would be by catch of that just people are afraid of fine eye. so 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, j, seamless goss, 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 emmanuel gary, rob, who are now losing more and more livestock to predators. mission today is the dental place is another way to last week went to like june sixty's goals,

810 sheep deal going to farmer in 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 to a go to the wild animals from the desert. the lions, the elephants causes a lot of problems and we'll get graded. our kids are one t, it's getting well. we don't gained anything from having wild animals here when they bring us nothing go more. hord, mom r t went to a hole in our livestock, our, our income. how we earn our living, the hold work with our whole near his stall. gary rob has discovered fresh hyena tracks. animal brown hyenas don't hunt goats, but the tracks could have been made by spotted hyenas through a more aggressive species,

globally. liquid come or 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. let me maza lou . when he was a cattle, her phineas casa owner, also killed. hyenas in lions to day 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 under both the lumen or, you know, that didn't things have changed book. i'm been, i'm

a younger she yet for back in the day. if a hyena took one of your animals out, you hunted it down and killed it. open wound yet pulling the air or the kid a we live in a new world. i'm with laws that protect wild animals and we're going do you, how can we do a woman with envy? and if we take care of them, we can even live from them. so we should try to live together, can know by well, got to hope it, but we do better then you will 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 analog populations increased attacks by wild predators have gone down on a bed earns its income from tourism. * and was able to install electricity and water connections, and we build a preschool ah, back on the skeleton coast, a ranger informs fair bay that an elephant calf is missing. the biologist fears the worst. she finds the cat half way to a watering hole due to the ongoing drought. the mother couldn't lactate.

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 much searched for new living environments. but with the help of researchers like mc savvy 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. ah oh, i still pursue rises. it's becoming even more crucial to find ways of keeping cool without putting unable britain burden on the environment. air conditioners may seem like a wonderful invention, but they are bad for the planted. and i've actually been a major contributor to the problem of global warming. this is why

a lot of thought is now going into finding ways to make new and existing building screener our next report, texas to egypt. while we meet an award winning architect, we've a lot of experience in sustainable development dot. oh, good. i have extreme strength and just we are facing livelihoods that are being affected. why are there no buildings in egypt? and if there are wire there. so few i really believe that if you tap into the indigenous knowledge, you will get the benefit of an f of an existing technology that you didn't even realize was there. it's this knowledge that cairo architect, sana alba,

tutti wants to harness and implement in contemporary architecture. her team designs buildings that have a positive environmental and social impact. summer temperatures here can reach 50 degrees celsius and the sea of concrete buildings causes stifling heat. residents who can afford it, rely on air conditioning to cool their apartments with 30 percent of people's household income is going into cooling. so why should we not have bill things that provides quoting from the onset as opposed to just reaching out to conventional solutions. the air conditioners also contribute to global warming. as many of the power plants in egypt are fueled by oil and gas. one of the architects projects is located 450 kilometers west of the egyptian capital. here and the battery oasis. farm workers are busy weeding a cam, a mile field. they worked for

a large organic tea and herb company. in the summer temperatures here frequently soar above 45 degrees celsius. while in winter, the climate is relatively cold. farm manager ought of a sassy says that many workers quit due to the unbearable living conditions. good la, moving good la la sham which didn't from again when louise would come to work here for the 2nd. we had problems with our accommodation. i would madame obscene but gleedy's. it's like an ugly look at. first of all, we had conventional accommodation, ill read her pavilion, which was unsuitable for the hot weather or the cold, like a me, your duck or use. the company was looking for sustainable solutions and asked sana albert, today's company to design new accommodation options with natural cooling for 140 workers. the architects examined the air passages and sunlight in order to control

the air flow and shade more than they then built the residential structures using recycled gravel and limestone bricks. from a nearby quarry see the dark colored walls absorbs the heat. when the wind comes through these areas, or believe the compulsive shuttle, but oh, good. and the walls are insulated found in the go go have to come a little by them. this combination helps cool the air flow. obadiah masula good. in the, in hello the and gives extra thermal comfort to those living in the rooms or using the facilities. sulfur methodology, warm temperatures and the rooms are now maintained at a constant level of about $19.00 to $26.00 degrees celsius. throughout the year. solar panels, power fans indoors, while hot water is obtained from solar water heaters. the project has been awarded the golden pyramid eco label the government commission salon and how god to develop the national rating system. in response to its growing population, each,

it wants to reduce buildings, energy consumption. i think architecture design should be converted totally into sustainable architectural design. to save our resources. now with the green buildings, i think we can see of the energy up to 50 percent. we can save the water up to 60 percent and reconsider a lot of materials on the above the improvement of the indoor environmental quality and the old board environment that quantity. the inspiration comes from traditional home is found in rural communities that are designed in harmony with nature and the environment. the aim is to positively impact those who will be using the buildings in the long term, which will benefit the city's current $20000000.00 residents. an experts believe rural to urban migration will see cairo's population double by 2050. we've reached 10 degree cooling and some of our projects without any mechanical assistance. and

it's, this is the reason why we think we can pursue better solutions for rural communities, especially, and low income housing, so that people are not continuously trying to correct what we did not address. in the 1st place, sada alba tutti was recently appointed ambassador for the presidential initiative decent life. her role will be to draw up green guidelines and promote climate change awareness. egypt is not alone in its need to adapt large parts of its infrastructure to a warming climate. it's a global issue. and green architecture plays a crucial role. very interesting indeed. well, i'm scared. we've run out of time for this week. thank you so much for joining us today onto do be sure to tune in again. next time i and sandra to we know video signing from capella here in uganda. see you next week, crease. bye bye, sandra. before i say good bye. i just wanted to remind you the you can find the

program and all our reports online, and please share your thoughts about the show with us on our social media platforms . for now i'm chris alone in lagos. see you again, sir. ah, a ah, with
