machine guns went to the headquarters of the israeli team and immediately killed one man. and that this will be the last time. so in the night, they're all gone out. i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this the world should not forget the long shadow of the 1972 olympic massacre. start september 3rd on d, w. ah, a hello, welcome to echo africa, i increased the lamps and oh, good 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 ease very true crease that sometimes we can achieve lot with very,

very little. i am sandra to be nobody here in complex uganda. and here are some what topics today? an initiative in a point i will be me ladies connecting people to clean and she water. how scientists in france use invents. if plants are as equal catalysts and how a primary school teacher is fighting coastal erosion in cynical according to a you and report, humans share over half of the global on area with other animals, especially in the poor regions of the world. people and animals are at odds when it comes to vital resources such as food. what's a ant habitant? for many lions, paula bears sills, aunt elephants. the struggle to secure the basic needs ends up costing them their

lives. now these human wildlife conflicts and then to the preservation of species in the born atoms are now be met to find a fair resolution for both sides. in the dense cover of the rain forest, they're difficult to find. but you might spot the traces in the mud and branches. some time he tossed marks on a tree trunk. then suddenly, in front of you, a group of forests, elephants, and pawn, gar national park and gabon central africa. the rain forest, their home protected national was covered 10 percent of the country, but hungry elephants of venturing beyond the boundaries. laundering nearby fields. echoes problems because villages give themselves 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 is 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 liquors your brush. as soon as i connected you should hear a sound. that means it's on these fences have been seen as an important 1st step as well. it seems like they see it working a procedure. it's early days because the elephants are smart and you know what might keep them out as 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, would you be 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. exec, okay, dot com go around, 95000 forest elephants living good born. the species is critically endangered. the environment minutes recess around 50 elephants are killed every year in 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 habitat has been cleared for farming, it will be tough to find workable long term solutions. and the types of vital for any more survival in europe, there are many instances where the habits of, especially on cbs, aren't repertoire is being lost. but today we have a somewhat over hot one 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 whitehearst 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 recreated. so they fail right at home. we got the more frog . and here we got sal as is and not a jap towed here. we got about 20 species and about $200.00 individuals within

those species. so it's one of the largest collections you're gonna find in europe and 2020 harvey tweets and tom whitehearst to lease land 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 ag 1st. so of cracks and you say the head comma in a, it's amazing. you know, the if 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, joiners 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 and i think that, you know, with this all 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 shall 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 wild. 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, a little river in southern france. be 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 not 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 to they'll be thermally treated to obtain this vegetable powder, 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 clicks the researchers save is so called eco catalyst. could make the manufacturer of products like face creams more environmentally friendly. and of 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 video. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about his visitor website. oh, send us the tweets 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 lake us,

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 the just one touch of the sensor and clean water. flights from the machine is changed merrily. can g life not, but on the surface, the water we get is clean, affordable, and easily accessible. barrel akin g has lived all her life in baton ray, one of the biggest flemings in nairobi. those 22 years have been governed by a daily struggle for clean water. she had to walk long distances to move or to point in constant fear of being attacked or getting sick from the water to come. what matter? the dirty water gives people diarrhea. they drink it because they have no other

option like what? half a 1000000 people live in mutari and very close quarters. settlements like this one, keep growing. and so just the need for water. city is all exploding and plans. you have mine love people coming from the countryside, settling down in the cities in them. so that's all not on the map of the providers . so i'm not getting what i'm boost gay from you and how baton sees. another problem. there is a backlog of infrastructure development over the years because what's a company's a government? i've not invested enough to maintain the site, so we have very old. so what's on network that are leaking? and on top of that co toes of control that they may charge extortionate prices or sexually exclude young women for water that really can feel safe. now that she can

get her water from the machine, it's charged as a fixed rate and she doesn't need to carry cash. yes, then if i have 10 canyon shillings on my check book 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 module malawi, had his work cut out, trying to convince water companies under 30 to back the idea when we started them this, that was us not very popular. but i think one of the biggest impact is to good organization . and to do is to think about technology, st. anything technologists 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,

the only required for maintenance. and this is actually helped to diffuse conflicts in some places. areas where they will probably 50 help you more. but if you are, let's say from time you cannot fetch what i mean because the tendency events you for reaching that water. now these doesn't happen, people are indiscriminate. the, 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 flow material measured the amount of water is there, sir? 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. is he all the systems in my power? and, and 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 league barella kenji comes her several times a day. she says that with this new clean water supply stomach upsets are thing of the past. bellas had from the crowded cities to the countryside. what if you assume gilby cleaner water on more feet away from the cities? you'd been mistaken. absolutely right. crease installed and african countries in particular the what the situation has wasn't considerably due to increasing periods of drought in is in by when people are trying to quote, solve on to still pile want only 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 is

only had the cistern for 5 years. it's a life saver for the single mother who like all the families and in broadway race is increasing challenges because of climate change. shabbat and gara grows, everything she needs to sustain her family on a small plots of land. scoffed i from going. i knock better, you haven't produced much these past season isn't correct, and we either get too little or too much rain, warm fine. the sense of uncertainty has made it hard for the children to concentrate on their school work. i think school before i had this water harvester, when the rains in the water would just run off and waste away, we had no idea what to do with it. we can also, we're going to check it as i say that sometimes we collected a little in small tins and bucket. so my dish, apple was all my dish is not bad, but that didn't help you're in dry smells. for years in babylon, drought serve increased in frequency and duration. the consequences are dramatic. it favors, victoria falls, were reduced to a relative trickle in 2019,

making international headlines this year hasn't seen enough rain either. the corn in the fields isn't growing 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 aid agency care has helped solve the water shortage and chevron, garrett's village, the country se 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 fields, eliminating the need for climate damage in wonder when we're 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 medication we can afford to grow food for our families, whether there is rain or not during any given year. brett, actually i want, i don't out. i shall. the farmers have another present 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 one, some i quit with solar pumps. that saves money and protects the climate. every well should be able to supply 500 people along with the gardens. there's a designated repair team to make sure everything stays in good working order. that creates jobs. include in for women like recall, schuessler, kathy, 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 depleted by drought. that's why, regardless of where the water comes from, priority should be given to conserve in it's a water shortage inc, zimbabwe, but too much water in a cynical, in our next story, it's not about drinking water, but about the salt water in our scenes. the atlantic ocean is 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 anymore. on the island of deer, gay and southern senegal, the atlantic waves are eating away. the shoreline is 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 gay. he says in the 6 years that he's lived here, the situation has become much worse. well that other than your love larger, but the sea, the sea levels have been rising, taken over the beach map or that when i arrive in 2016 just here. and you can see coconut trees all along the beach. yeah, the member even had houses just here is that were about 20 meters from the sea theater. but now the seas advancing. only the land that nobody's on tomorrow. you're welcome yell on there. he lost himself with pity. the chief now shall thereby send is fighting against the destructive force of the waves. joining him in the fight is patrick, shout ye, a retired business professor. he's brought a new idea to deal gay, which is given the people fresh hope. structures made of wood and 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 like old. would you be? the stick came up here before them where the string is. one week later we can see but 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 defences made of stone or concrete, they also don't drastically change the currents along the shore which could cause erosion elsewhere. be proven effective. sheila and ketone met sang 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. so and also 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 or 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 c has destroyed over years could ever be restored. until i got a new you can execute to pappas, you de decide has got madge. it's not easy to admit. but one day the village will have to move. it's not easy to leave the place where you were born to separate and set up a different places are dedicated. it's not easy. quarter loyalty any but one day it's going to happen. i own uncle or no, maybe i'll be there to witness her papa or not. but one of my sons were witness utilize herself, but me learn demetrius why as islam, however, you thereby st, is certain that the erosion of delegates, shoreline can be reversed and that it can be done without waiting for help from the state. so greg went in, i felt would need

a lot of resources to slow down arising. c lavoy. but with a little that we have our lead, we can achieve extraordinary work. right? because with this, we can gain up to a 100 me to like santa, in some tender meta bundis of but despite these successes, many west african countries are seeing increased coastal erosion and better coastal management is needed on a regional level. well, with come to the end of this week's program. thank you for watching and don't forget to be careful with on 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 it's also time for me to sign up from nigeria police to share your thoughts and ideas it also. now solution media platforms will love to hear from you until next time, bye. and do take care of yourself. ah,
