international gathering, this piece and cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrorists, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team and immediately killed one man. and that this will be the last time i saw in the life or worse fears realized tonight, they're all gone. how i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this the world should not forget the long shuttle. the 1972 olympic massacre. start september 3rd on d. w. o, [000:00:00;00] a hello, welcome to echo africa. i increased the lamps,

ain't ogen state nigeria results isn't. our planets are becoming scarce. saw habitat for wild animals is disappearing. an access to water becoming more difficult, but there are promising solutions. joining me for this show will be sandra. it is very to create that sometimes we can achieve lot with very, very little. i am some good we nobody else here in complex uganda. and here are some what topics today an initiative when they will be naval mood, latrice, connecting people to clean sheets water. how santas in france, you invented long equal counseling and how a primary school teacher is fighting erosion. cynical, according to a human report, human share over half of the global on area with other animals,

especially in the poor region over the world. people and animals are at all when it comes to vital resources such as food. what's it for many lions, pull a bears. on amazon, the struggle to secure the basic needs ends up costing them to be alive. now, the human wildlife conflicts in danger, the preservation of fishes in the bone atoms on no be med to find a fair resolution for books by me. in the dense cover of the rain forest, they're difficult to find, but you might spot the traces in the mud branches. sometimes he tossed marks on a tree trunk. then suddenly in front of you, a group of forest elephants and on gar, national park and on central africa the rain forest,

their home protected national parks, covered 10 percent of the country, but hungry elephants of venturing beyond the boundaries, plundering nearby fields, echoes problems because villages hid themself from those plantations. and when the elephants, it's all this, something you have been for months and that will give me food for my children and all this the elephant in one day, only one day. he destroys it. something that could last me and my parents, maybe one year it's just vanish and one day she how people get mad and sometimes kill the elephant. don't let people hear venting their anger in other ways to farmers recently. stage protests as well as having less to eat. they're worried about rising food prices. the government has responded by providing $4500000.00 to farmers was filled,

have been destroyed by elephant authorities are also erecting electric fences to scare elephants away from the fields. some people cannot harm any more. the elephants are eating so much of their crops. and and so if we cannot provide protection to those people in the form of electric fences, we have the technology just a matter now of money to build the electric fences to protect people's crops. more than 50 electric fences have been install, some of them a solar powered liquor, bosh as soon as i connected you should hear a sound. that means it's on these vents is a being seen as an important 1st step as well. it seems like they see it working

a procedure. it's early days because elephants are smart and you know what might keep them out of offense now as they get shot, they can eventually learn to get around if they really want to. so i, i think that there is a great promise, but at the same time, you know, needs to be followed over time, and we need to be pretty careful about that. so the government is also planning to gather data on the roots, the elephants are taking. so they can better anticipate potential conflicts, exact welcome to go around 95000 forest elephants living good born. the species is critically endangered. the environment minutes recess around 50 elephants are killed every year and acts of self defense or revenge. while 10 people have been killed by elephant for the past 2 and a half years, it's healthy electric fences will help ease this conflict. but as long as more and more habits and has been cleared for farming,

it will be tough to find workable long term solutions. 100 tons of vital for i mean most of my home in europe, there are many instances where the hospital, especially on phoebe's aunt retina, is being lost. but today we have a somewhat over heart wanting story about 2 people who care deeply about protecting species in the region. does right, sandra, while in recent years, the u. k. has increased its amounts of protected areas. this hasn't been able to provide any help to a lot of smaller animals. what initiatives like vis worn in england run by a hobby tweets and tom, why 1st could help the non venomous escal api and snake the more frog. and the european pond turtle. 3 species that are nearly extinct and great britain, 18 year old harvey tweets wants to change that on a strip of previously derelict. landon staffordshire, near manchester,

he breeds endangered reptiles and amphibians. basically you've got these large outdoor variance and they are open at enclosures, in which the habitat, the animal which lives in them is re creative. so they feel right at home, we got the more frog. and here we've got sal as is and not a jap toads here. we've got about 20 species in about 200 individuals within those species. so it's one of the largest collections you're gonna find in europe. and 2020 harvey tweets and tom white hers to lease lamp and began constructing the facility to their aim is to conserve breed and ultimately reintroduce creatures that were once familiar sights and britons countryside. they obtained their 1st reptiles from private breeders and breeding remains. one of the biggest challenges they face, there's nothing more awarding. i mean, it's amazing to say when you know, when it, when that snake hutches in the egg 1st. so of cracks and you say the head, comma in a, it's amazing in the the eve. so fame,

you spend all year in building 2 in. i seen that name. it says really. it makes you feel more human in it makes you feel alive. the to 18 year olds regularly post their progress on youtube. so, joiner's ha, journey with over 2000 subscribers. this project as part of the growing re wilding movement, the goal of which is to restore the natural habitats of plants and animals. this practical knowledge, there's academic knowledge and then there's just know how i'm and i think that, you know, with this will a thing passion dry. what, you know, you know, and if you have a passion, you are willing to learn you read, you know, you talk to people, you network and it's those things which allow you to become, you know, good at what you do. one animal that clearly shows just how urgently action is

needed is the slow worm. this used to be wide spread throughout central england and the local area around here. they've gone extinct regionally extinct. and due to the fact that, you know, the type of agriculture we have, it doesn't provide enough habitat, you know, for them. and especially when there's deep plowing. so when i'm, you know, to, so it gets ploughed, so seeds can be planted. and that just kills the harvey tweets is always on the lookout for suitable locations to re wild, slow worms. and from a distance, this green landscape looks like a perfect habitat for his reptiles. but upon closer inspection, he noticed that signs of farming activity, which in its modern form, has harmed biodiversity. it would be completely unethical to release these species into habitats which are not suitable. and that's especially why we're picking areas, which i'll be actively re wilding, because the habitat is only going to get bigger and better. the re wilding location

gun more near the small town of leak will provide such a habitat. environmental activists ran a crowd funding campaign to purchase the area about the size of a $110.00 soccer fields. they currently have 5 re wilding projects being assessed for approval. the 2 teenagers will hopefully be able to begin re introducing animal soon. but it will take years to see whether the restoration is successful and the species are back in the while. we've often reported on echo africa about the damage dawned by invasive plants, such as what a high st in france, japanese not weed is also famous for displacing native plant species. scientists are the university of mon paulia, have not discovered a surprising feature of the invader in this week's doing your bits.

ha, every country helps to heal the japanese, not we'd have spread all along the old river in southern france. b invasive species has displaced many native plants here, and it's shallow roots are putting the river banks at risk of erosion. researchers at mumford, yay! university. are clearing the lot. we've been discovered. it has surprising properties. crushed dried and ground into powder. it can dramatically speed up chemical processes. sweaty, i assume it's either the roots or the leaves, which are rich and minerals, metallic minerals of interest, it, they'll be thermally treated to obtain this vegetable powder, it put a vegetable powder is already itself, and eco catalyst. that is to say,

a reaction booster, which will allow us to transform a simple molecule into a more complex molecule. plex. the researchers save is so called eco catalyst, could make the manufacturer of products like face creams more environmentally friendly. under indicates the field of cosmetics today, still uses mineral, or petrochemical catalyzed. yeah. this idea of plant base catalysts has never been developed before. jamie to difficulty of the researchers have already developed at least 60 plant based catalysts. they're now being marketed by a startup at the university of more videos. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about is visit our website. oh, send us the tweet. hash tag doing jo,

base. we share your stories back to africa. now the ongoing climate crisis is forcing us to be more frugal with our most important resources. you guess it water in legos, less than 40 percent of people have access to clean drinking water. the situation is similar in chaos. capital nairobi where the poorest residents leave in terrible conditions. now, a private sector initiative is introducing innovative technical solutions to help them. oh, just one touch of the sensor and clean water flows from the machine is changed barrel akin jeez life. i did not breath any therapy. the water we get is clean, affordable, and easily accessible them. berella congee has looked all her life in monterey. one

of the biggest slums in nairobi. those 22 years have been governed by a daily struggle for clean water. she had to walk long distances to walk or to point in constant fear of being attacked or getting sick from the water to go mad. what ronada, the dirty water gives people diarrhea. they drink it when they want it because they have no other option. i what i do, what are your major half a 1000000 people live in monterey, in very close quarters. settlements like this one, keep growing. and so does the need for ward getting water and boost gay from you and habitat sees another problem. there is a vac. log of infrastructure development over the years of a cut were whether companies were government, i've not invested enough to maintain ver pipes, so we have very old. so what they'll networks that are leaking. and on top of that car towels often controlled the tops. they may charge extortionate prices or

sexually exploit young women for walter. berella kenji feel safe now that she can get her water from the machine. it's charged at a fixed rate and she doesn't need to carry cash yet. then if i have 10 canyon shillings on my chip, a duck with that last me up to 3 days before i could only get 3 jerry kinds of water for that money that the users receive about 10 times as much water for their money. now, kenneth window from the supplier maggi melli had his work cut out, trying to convince water companies and authorities to back the idea when we started . this is the goal of us not very popular, but i think one of the biggest impact is to get organization. and to do is to think about technology, do you think technology is being 2nd, are very good. one of the things we see now is that notion of the prepaid. what a d m. sorry we have is anybody is becoming more efficient,

low operating costs. so one of windows main arguments staff only required for maintenance, and this is actually helped to defeat conflicts in some places. areas where labeled 50 helps you more than if you are, let's say from your conference. what i mean because the attendance events before reaching the water. now this doesn't happen. people are indiscriminate. if the technology comes from intra day in the netherlands and tom lay, paula was working in africa for an 8 project when he came up with an idea to better regulate the water supply. on sir joseph consensus, falconer fell so open and the floor material measured the amount of water is arshubra. g. a sham modem is chart and as the car to store older transactions the machines sunday to run consumption to the cloud. this allows supply and demand to

be regulated. if the, all the systems in my power and on here are you crunchy, to read from you for one. what the point there are already around $800.00 of these pay as you go water dispenses in kenya and some neighboring countries. fortunately, that's been very little vandalism so far. barely kenji comes her several times a day. she says that with this new clean water supply stomach upsets or thing of the past. bellas head from the crowded cities to the contra sites. what if you assume derby cleaner water on more feet away from the cities? you'd been mistaken. absolutely right, crease installed and african countries in particular, the water situation house was sent considerably due to increasing periods of drought in is invalid. people are frank was found on the store. pile want lead to water,

louise room in the morning. shabba and gara steps out of her house to fetch water from the tank in her yard. she's only had the cistern for 5 years. it's a life saver for the single mother who like all the families and kimberly races, increasing challenges because of climate change. she about and gara grows, everything she needs to sustain her family. on a small plot of land, scoffed i from going to unlock that, are you haven't produced much these past seasons and what out and we either get too little or too much rain or i'm fine. the sense of uncertainty has made it hard for the child to concentrate on their school work underscore, before i had this water harvester, when the rains came, the water would just run off and waste away. we had no idea what to do with it. we can also go to and get the thing that sometimes we collected a little in small tins and bucket. so my dish, apple was all my dish is now bass i. but that didn't help you're in dry spells for years. in babylon,

drought serve increased in frequency and duration. the consequences are dramatic. it's favors. victoria falls, where reduced to a relative trickle in 2019 making international headlines. this year hasn't seen enough rain either. the corn in the fields is in grow in properly. harvest yields a shrinking year by year. the un says almost half of zimbabwe population of some $15000000.00 is now dependent on food aid. people with no access to a well as to get their water from rivers that are also drying up. the 8 agency care has helped solve the water shortage and sharon garret village, the country south east. it's supplied 50 families with water tanks and together, the community has built a damn that holds 45000 cubic meters of water. the water flows along the terrains natural slopes to irrigate the fills, eliminating the need for climate damage in tom. 12,

m for when award brody as long as we have several options to store rainwater efficiently. we stand a chance of survival, even through the dry season one america. we can afford to grow food for our families, whether there is rain or not during any given year grant. i shall yolanda are dead . i shall. the farmers have another press in problem that still needs to be solved . the water from the reservoir is safe to drink. that there are already a few ideas on our care, has drilled 12 wells in the region. some i, equipped with solar pumps, that saves money and protects the climate. every well should be able to supply 500 people along with their gardens. there's a designated repair team to make sure everything stays in good working order that creates jobs. include in for women like precautions, katie, who is a mechanic. what i'm a ball hole can't be inoperable for more than

a day to ensure the availability of clean water. if it's out of service for several days, and left unattended, become become a target of vandalism. and some individuals might end up messing around with the parts in many areas of zimbabwe, even the ground water is being defeated by drought. that's why, regardless of where the water comes from, priority should be given to conserve in it. a water shortage ink is in by way, but so much water in a cynical, in our next story. it's not about drinking water but a boat, the salt water in our themes, the atlantic ocean east eroding the course of west africa, an unstoppable phenomenon. now, residents of young in the fall than cynical have reversed the trend and we wanted to take a look. trees no longer grow here, and nobody can live here any more. on the island of deer, gay and southern senegal,

the atlantic waves are eating away the shoreline. it's happening on the whole west african coast. the reason rising sea levels, a consequence of human induced global warming. jude thereby st. is an elementary school teacher in d o. j, he says in the 6 years that he's lived here, the situation has become much worse way and then then you'll have larger, but the see the sea levels have been rising up, taken over the beach. remember that when i arrived in 2016 just here, then you can see coconut trees all along that much. yeah, the member even had houses just here that were about 20 meters from the sea theater . but now the seas advancing only the land that nobody is on tamaya roku, yell on there. he lost himself with pity. the sheep now she was there by sand is fighting against the destructive force of the waves. joining him in the fight is patrick chevalier. a retired business professor. he's brought a new idea to deal gay,

which has given the people fresh hope. structures made of wooden posts and palm fronds hold the sand in place and bring back the beaches. curious, children gathered to watch the work. this red string shows by sin and chevalier how much sand has accumulated thing. look at all. would you be the stick came up here before them where the string is. one week later we can see that 25 centimeters of sand as accumulate. vincent sentiment. the semi permeable barriers are arranged in right angles on the beach, as the sea carries in sand. the side arms catch it. unlike less permeable defenses made of stone or concrete. they also don't drastically change the currents along the shore, which could cause erosion elsewhere. the proven effective sheila and kito met sank upon a stretch of beach measuring 1.5 kilometers,

which we call the fishing talk. it will likely gain at least 30 meters on the entire stretched met shannon. so these are the results we saw in the 2 previous places we worked on windows on the wall. so we think it will have the same effect here on ball school. remember if, if i had talked to you, but despite the proven success of the method, some locals are skeptical that what the sea has destroyed over years could ever be restored until i got a new you can execute it back, but you did this. i could get madge, it's not easy to admit, but one day the village will have to move. and it's not easy to leave the place where you were born apart and set up a different place at their dedicated. and it's not easy. got la la with the name, but one day it's going to happen. i own uncle or not. maybe i'll be there to witness it papa or not. but one of my sons will witness you relax yourself, but may lender map his wife as his wife. however, judge their boss and is certain that be erosion of de yogi shoreline can be

reversed and that it can be done without waiting for help from the state. the greater one in lean, i felt would need a lot of resources to slow down rising sea level. but with a little that we have on it, we can achieve extraordinary work. right? because with this, we can gain up to a 100 meters at santa, in some, in the method you bundle the service. but despite these successes, many west african countries are seeing increased coastal erosion and better coastal management is needed on a regional level. well, we'll come to the end of this week's program. thank you for watching. and don't forget to be careful with a natural resources because we don't have an unlimited amount of them for now. it is a good buy from compiler, here in uganda, and itself the time for me to sign up from nigeria police to share your thoughts and ideas with also. now solution media platforms will love to hear from you until

next time, bye. and do take care of yourself. ah, [000:00:00;00] with

with ah, with ah ah, what's making the headlights and what's behind them? d. w, news, africa. the show that was the issue is shaping the continent. life is slowly getting back to normal. yeah. where on the streets to give you enough reports on the inside of our cars, funding was on the ground reporting from across the continent. all the trends
