ah, listen carefully. don't know how to suit you miss to the girl. ah, you matches. discover the world around you. subscribe to the w documentary on youtube. ah hello and welcome to equal africa environment magazine. corporate used by n t be in uganda channels, t v in nigeria and deed of you in germany. i am sandra tree. nobody and with me

today as always is michael present at crease. hey chris, how are you today? just fine. sandra, thank you so very much on the one. welcome to all our viewers, all dead. we have a lot in store for you on today's program. so let's take a quick look at what we have coming up. e, my cheerio. we'll meet a young activist campaign in for the environment. any rhonda will learn how to play it from land can't be restored. according to a recent you and report climate change is having a growing impact on the african continent. heat in the most vulnerable, the hottest science base climate information can help build resilience, a cornerstone of climate change adaptation. what enables people in the villages and communities to understand what climate change this and at the same time to do something about it. the gambia environmental monitoring system science project in

west africa is also tried to involve the local population in the process. with one way to include every change as carefully noted in you each week cardiac to clarity, and on 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 direction. the effects of climate change are causing hardship for many who live near the river. for centuries, they help subsist that on small scale fishing 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 pharmacy like fat to mata barrow ha, car or data. we used to harvest rice here down, but now the yield is low, am would wend among gross, we're healthy in big nowhere, no problem. so wondering why they are now dead. and our crops are not doing well when they, when lower quantity. not a lot of research has been done on bio diversity and d environment in the gumbo. so that makes predict the impact climate change might have on local ecosystems. more difficult, that in spite 10 young scientists to launch the gems initiative jones's aleck learning program, their environmental measurement systems project. and it is a research project whereby we're colliton environmental data along that of a gamez. 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 d, 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 program because if you look at this area, you will see that it's already dead. here in the lower river division, the die back is extensive. mangrove stamps thought am 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 groups 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 and deals and volunteers. and so manner double hopes to restore the mongol forest. but with a different, more robust variety thank study did as required, regressing, should we have been able to know the salinity level of, of the water and psychology. i've been able to identify a dispute this of mangrove re half within our ecosystem. they observe a lot of sort a lag before wendy. i was not very short in tucson is higher. we're now housed among those are sort of torah label the absolve. lot or so that house mid a decrease in salinity level. written the woman rice for too much a barrel. who has been gwyn rice here for 20 years. halston newly planted red.

mangroves will give her crops a fighting chance. jo. well, we thank god, what a new man gross along the river. asked a grueling less salt. we'll get through coney island, the wound since august 2021 more than 850000 mongrels having planted in the gum there of a delta in order to conserve the eco system. the symbiosis of scientific knowledge and local engagement is barren fruit. why do we actually need climate activist? what can they do better van politicians and scientist for one thing, they speak for the our own generation. our generation that has to cope with the world will leave them, but more importantly, the money to motivate other young people. and my compatriots advocate or ludvigsen says about what lies ahead of us in terms of environmental protection. can all be

done by the few echo africa visited her. oh, my name is ally this identical america, feminist climate justice activists on an equal reporter using a video blog as her fighting to orlando. so i didn't care is one of africa's most vocal environmental activists having studied agriculture. the 27 year old has always had a love for the environments, but it was after meeting greta tune berg at the 2019 cop conference in madrid, that she was inspired to take further action. standing alone, she sat at the friday for future movement in named jerry. all walk the want is to have climate. justice is where we are going. the might as the most, irrespective of the call to where we have from all the. oh i read. we are all

in the same one year into protesting every friday and giving talks allowed us to realize that there was a lack of knowledge about climate change on the continent. so she started her own pan african climate just this movement. and website where she writes about how africa specifically, is affected, just like the classes between the for my son, it's min, the survival issue for full resource calling to the strength they had. and they real dot crisis supplement within africa. i goes on hot, let people get in this turn that we have a problem in our society. we need to solve this problem right now. as an echo, feminist, or lattices work, also focuses on how environmental rice, a connected with women's right. she regularly visits female farmers to teach them

how to care for their environments and adapt bits after the changes. her greatest fashion is inspiring children and getting them involved in climate activism. at schools, she teaches about recycling and planting trees. up dolly said to her and i know the importance of plants, enough trees i lectured, inspired me to stop cutting down g. i'm planning to see when i grew up our plant trees in my house to to stop arish. they for allowed to su climate education is the only way to secure their future in the tickets to come in. they'll be in this family that there will be the one at the forefront of the climate and i'm justice movements, the advocates in deb different perspective orlando so believes that everyone regardless of each can and should do something to protect the planets. oh

good. so why not stop right now? climate change is needed to set the necessary changes in motion. only a combination of all of them can slow down the increase in global temperature bit by bit. but grease, even if we stopped and looked in greenhouse gases to day, the rise in global temperatures would want to begin to flatten after a few years. there is a time loud meeting what we do and when we feel the results, this is why it is i jumped up now and why other plan is a walking, a new mobility concept that can be implemented quickly and sustainably. best animation shows what the host plotkin hamburg would look like. if all the cars and traffic signs were gone. making room for trees and graph. it could be a square paradise for cyclists and pedestrians. but it actually looks like this,

much to the displeasure of hamburg graphic designer, yan kaminsky. he would like to see fundamental changes, which is why he began making animations of how he believed streets should be been on fung at us point. so we're going, the project got started with the beginning of the coven pandemic mercer mission. i looked around and thought of, i don't want to just sit and wait for the changes we need, like i want to contribute. read august i. and as a visual designer, i can change urban spaces october for and on. young kaminsky thinks grace treats and dreary squares should be transformed around the world for at least in animations. to start like here in new york city and in belgium's capital, brussels and germany's capital berlin. the graphic designer launched social media accounts under the name utopia for

bicyclist. as paul may up transfers, father, we need more space for bikes and more bicycles so that their genius can take effect . for some follicle they are low emissions, so i didn't take up little space compared to other modes of transportation, flotsam forgot and can be used for many banks on the caesar's on that spot. yon kaminsky vision is already reality in germany's neighbor, the netherlands. for example, in the countries port largest city attract where a $125000.00 people cycle daily, whatever the whether that's more than a 3rd of the city's population. communication expert chris franklin works for the dutch cycling empathy. a network that advocates for greater use of bicycles. he spent much of his time on the bradenberg, the most heavily traveled bicycle path in the netherlands. a good 33000 by craters

used it every day. but before it used to be a mouth, tulane road with heavy traffic like the one found in all cities. unfortunately, a lot of cities cycling is still just for the fit in the brave and the really risk taller and people that are willing to rub shoulders with motor vehicles. but that's not the vast majority of people who live in that city. they want to be able to tune outs and just enjoy their commute. and when you provide safe side separated space for cycling, you're going to attract more of those, those casual users. a lot of women, a lot of children, a lot of the elderly people with physical disabilities in 2019 to run the biggest parking garage for bicycles open to track displaced. tell cyclists if any spaces are freed up to. 12500 bike riders can park here. right next to the main station. chris franklin says the garage is another reason why the netherlands can be described as bike friendly. in fact,

the country has become known for its bike, friendly and aesthetically pleasing solutions such as the daphne shippers bridge, which passes over the roof of his school and connects to neighborhoods for many and attract cycling. it's more convenient than or is just so much more convenient to travel around the city on a bike and so much quicker and more fun. hamburg is still far from being cyclists, paradise, but young from and ski hopes to at least bring attention to urban ability question . nearly 2 thirds of africa is a working population are employed in funding, so the 5th is economic importance, can't be overstated. it also provides food for millions of fundies, of course, but climate change pauses a growing threat to agriculture, drought stricken soil that has been leached or it's nutrients cannot produce

a decent harvest. so how can food security be maintained? here is one answer from render. coaxing a decent harvest out of the soil is tough here and the mountainous chicken b district of north and rwanda. eugene hi. dina manor and his wife worked from dan till dusk. their field earned steep slopes. so when it rains, the water flushes the soil down into the valley. if things don't change, the farmer fears his family could face daveille. since this is their sole source of income, the only thing he thought you look at these bananas liked what we used to harvest, banana bunches, weighing over 50 kilos destination. so looking at this one, you can see we have a problem. look on them. a situation made worse by climate change have you in for alternating with extreme dry period has rendered entire slope baron,

meaning then along a suitable for forming your mother. it's difficult to farm in these mountainous areas with such excessive rainfall. if it causes land, crops, and fields to be frequently washed away, not to mention the loss of life among local people. no, no. under these conditions, farmers cannot hope to produce harvests without a sustainable solution to all these problems. much, you know, you wouldn't it. this is where the green to can be. program comes in agriculture, experts, visit farmers to show them how to respond to the changing weather conditions and how to protect their soil soon. this is hope the project will benefit are on half a 1000000 people across the 800 square kilometers that the jacoby district covers. it has the budget of nearly 30000000 euros and it's funded by the u. n's green climate fun with no time to waste every one pitches in to put the expert

insights into practice tools or hunger learning, we end up with a it increases our awareness of climate change and how to adapt our farming methods to his family. we taught how to restore our abandoned land, how to find erosion during the rainy season, and how to store rainwater for irrigation during the dry season. yamazik to let you know it's very useful up for you. he's one key this. the build terraces on the slopes. this allows more rainfall to seep into the soil and slows down the water flow into the valley. plus the terraces, the easier to plant crops on horizontal trolls also being creative to slow down and divert fast flowing run off water. that water can then be collected and stored in underground tanks to be used later by reagan. there at the thought that us is, has a double impact, has impact thread this. this will erosion daughter tain in the side.

contribute a doctor that productivity and the also the physician, a garb, oh, per applicant over the fifty's us a going where do to did establish those benches? terraces out on the terraces. the farmers also plant additional trees. their roots will over time, protect the soil from erosion, while their leaves will provide shade during dry season. for the soul, steam, mice for longer. mays, beans, and potatoes go far better, and the farmers can improve their yields. many tracts of land they used to lie fallow and now flourishing again. the variety of vegetables leading to improve nutrition amongst the local population. hill, salary survey, the harvest that we're expecting this season is a miracle for me. from this land was no longer usable. but since the arrival of

green to cumby climate change is no longer stopping us from growing crops, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! just look at what we have in these fields, shown in the further boost to the farmer's livelihood. new t plantations are being used up on that land. they had long ceased to be fertile, and there are more wide years in the pipeline. we can little comment in the area in the throb which is appropriate, appropriate for protein before a 3 appropriate for such for a 3 appropriate for cultivation and look across the valley and beyond reveals the dividends of the green to can be project the our brown of depleted slopes is gradually disappearing, replaced by lush greenery and farm land with some depend on healthy soil. others depend on an intern marine ecosystem,

but there is only a limited amount of fish in our oceans, and those resources are being depleted quickly. thus right, sandra, according to the w w. f. system, marty over fission and illegal fishing of valuable fish stalks is to blame for the destruction of many marine echo systems with the help of digital technology. a project on south africa's cape wants to end the suffering of local fishermen there . 5 30 in the morning at the port of cape town, while most of the city still sleeves skipper jeffrey fraser and his crew prepared to put out to see the 10 member crew are going hand line fishing for k green. they're hoping for a good catch today. they did it with also the pleasures of whiskey. a good skipper, you know, get loving. there might be some truth in that, but it's

a little fishy to lay all the blame on the skipper. conditions for art isn't all commercial fishing on the cape, have grown tougher over the years. possibly climate change over for some of the bites change of current young plenty reasons i can give you. they also struggle with fishing quotas and market access. jeffrey fraser wants to improve conditions for his crew and has found the solution in the upper lobby up of a lobby, which means someone who fishes in a local language connect small scale fisher's directly with consumers. daniel smith helped found the act and the n g o at the same name, which began as university of cape town, research pro in 2017 karens on africa under on the world. small scale fishes

have been excluded and struggled for access to market a below be came about recognizing that there was this need. and there's an opportunity to then connect these small scale fishes digitally and to markets. and for them to be able to access and, and own their own data. in practice, this means jeffrey fraser and his crew consolidate daily cats to restaurants, private directly through the upper lower be cutting out the middleman level of is quite a good outsource that. we know what we're going for and what we're getting and the price is much greater than we get from the local buyers. so for us, it's a big out with a crew member, reggie shrank, says middle men only pay fishes roughly a euro, a kilo for kate breen. rewards on of a lobby. the crew can net over 3 times fast. that means they can generate the same

revenue with a smaller catch, a below be as financed through donations and outside funding. the n t o. behind the app helps the fishes with infrastructure and logistics catches go by refrigerated truck to decentralized refridgerated storage facilities. short holes help reduce the carbon footprint. a below be employee, hon goliath confirms the ways of the catch. he comes from a fishing family and wants to help his community by missouri and i want to remain your future role, your district or work bob or fishing, or do or thing for as long as i'm victor from the fishing industry. what i will already do is to just assure starts to work toward the approaches between after we get to the fish in the end consumer, which is driven for generations low. and that's exactly what happens the catches from jeffrey phrases, boat and other,

a below be fishes go online and become available to customers on the apps market place. page chef neal swat is co owner of a restaurant in cape town. he is one of over $400.00 ships and $8000.00 private customers registered as buyers on up a lobby. last night, the shift placed an order on the app this morning. hunger life delivers it 5 kilos of k. bring the proof is in putting or the fresh fish for that man. i like that the quality of the fish we got is just that something we haven't to work with before with the apps, q r code, the restaurant. and his guests can trace exactly where a fish comes from. the fishes name, the species, and where it was, quote, with i love knowing where the money is going. so i love knowing that the money is going to the fisherman and not some massive companies just amusing the

sea. and the customers also enjoy hearing that the money they spend there by us goes directly to the fisherman. and we can see exactly how much they get. since its debut abalone has put more than 500000 heroes directly into the pockets of struggling fishes. similar projects are already up and running in other countries, all aimed at preserving fish stocks and ensuring local fishing is getting a living wage. arming ourselves against climate change and its consequences, as well as gaining new knowledge to educate local populations and apply new ideas and methods. i hope visitation of the show convinced you how important, caring for environment is for now. good bye for me, chris. the lamps in lagos, nigeria, we hope you enjoyed a great mix of topics coming through from africa and europe. and of course, we look forward to having your company once again next week. i am sandra,
