and doesn't get into bookkeeping, and when they see any was for example, it's, you can use an infant that your rapp conservation foundation wants to change this eco africa. next on d, w. m, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. ah, romantic corner chat. hot spot for food and some great cultural memorials to boot d w, travel off we go ah, a most to force enough fill in the effect of climate change. there is forest fires, drought, or whether in africa or europe everywhere is hot in op,

which means our weekly environment show is no more important than ever. welcome to echo africa from oregon state nigeria. i am chris phillips. a welcome from me too. i am sandra, twin over you, and i'm here in comfort. uganda. well, drought and how people cope. we lead ease. only one aspect we are looking at in this fixture also on the program. reviving an ancient irrigation method, him to museum. we show you how to better maintain the increasing number of wind turbines in europe's waters. and saving the rough, how in the media is protecting the walls, tallest land. and today we start our show in europe where persistently hot temperatures have been causing major problems, including forest fires, crow failure out heat related decks. the world wildlife fund says it's coach

lesions shown by 2050. the number of people facing extreme water shortages in europe will have risen by 50 percent. farmers are especially feeling it right now. most funding areas are at less than half their regular water capacities. so do we really have options for countering the water shortage? this plant is still something of a rarity on german farms. the chick pay it's more commonly cultivated in the dryer regions of southern europe. the scientists have planted the league game hair on a small, organic farm to test it under these conditions. chick piece grow? well, in the chalky sandy loam soil found in the ok mark a region in northeast and germany damn circus in this year. we had

severe drought once again on the crop developed really well and figured out here in this location. it demonstrated a high tolerance for drought, and we'll talk on that will be very important in the future with hair and one of the countries driest regions. the research as a testing 5 different types of chick pay and they're also collaborating with local organic farmers. the most productive chick p plants could boost their income. up to now chick peas, have mainly been imported, and demand for them is rising. and guns in shade enough, one very decisive factor will be the extent to which we managed to create landscapes that retain water effectively in particularly like, or culturally or dine. it's not enough to just switch to new cry like trophies switched. it's as it somebody kisha, opposite water shortages are not just affecting farming. ground water levels have fallen throughout germany. the amount of water currently lacking as a whole year's worth of rain and say climate researchers from come finish. now

there's little coming from a book to replenish the larger amounts of water evaporating from rivers, lakes and marshland yacht with m less rainfall. the higher temperatures and more of operations offered. this means that we are facing critical situation law more frequently. kritisha said towards june, her common saving water would be one of the 1st steps to take but people are still filling their private pools or watering their gardens liberally further depleting, ground water resources, stroudsburg act. now, a suburb of berlin, where a lot of new houses have pools, is one of the few municipalities in the region to take action. from now onwards, anyone using more than the average of a 105 cubic meters per day, we'll have to pay a fine add new construction has been put on hold. but water shortages are probably her to stay. climate researchers estimate that the state of

brandenburg will have to make due with 20 percent less water by 2045. there's already a low water management plan, but that won't be sufficient. d, a written tampa to one period because of water loss due to rising temperatures and subsequent evaporation of 100 is where you cited that we will take legal is that not to establish an official war to reserve a restless on bracelets at apple. even the plan is to set aside 20 percent of available water as a precaution, meaning the local war, wax, and citizens would have less water at their disposal. the german capital has its own experience of managing limited amounts of water balance. drinking water supplies come from ground water, which is largely fed by nearby lakes and rivers. but it's not enough. the city has been boosting ground water levels for a long time. now pre purified water from 2 rivers is pumped into pons,

which then seeps down into the ground water that provides around 10 percent more drinking water. and that's all recycle t on. i'm shoes on a warm summer's day. we use about 750000 cubic meters a day. and at the same time we put the same amount of waste water back into the system. possibly in the same way. you can see that more or less balance is out by long strip or graphy with that kind of circular usage is more than the quantity should be adequate in dry years to do for ya. cam hi. but if levels continue to drop, then there may be less water in circulation. the water company's calling on the city to provide more spaces that are able to absorb rain water rather than the ever more impermeable surfaces. keeping water in the soil, that's an important aspect of organic farming yoke. usta had a good lupin harvest this year. it's a crop that can cope with modest rainfall. preparation of the soil also plays an

important role after the harvest. it's only lightly tailed and then come when you're a spread on top to create humus. happy with ya, i'm tired. we have a certain amount of water available for the year away. all the work we do on the fields has to be adapted to that. and so we try to work the soil as lightly as possible or to look slots. so we don't ever write too much soil wouldn't lift because then the water simply evaporates us to instead the cultivation of these protein richly creams is profitable because the crop can be turned into flour or used in vehicle products. your usta is looking for other alternatives for the future. so perhaps along with white lupins chick peas will soon be harvested hair to well thing on the subject of waters castillo, when i'll head to to noisier in northern africa. here farmers is up to 80 percent or, or what are used in the country. so they really need to change their behavior moving

forward. sometimes it is enough to take advantage of the old traditions. so take a look at the switch. doing gibbons, blah. ah, olive trees are hearty plans that do well and arid regions. up to a point in the past, there used to be adequate rainfall here in northern tunisia, but due to climate change, it's become a lot dryer. and now farmer mohammed ben is maya transports water to the orchards from a well that is far away water that's becoming increasingly scarce. so he's filling allah's clay pots that he's buried in the ground. the un glazed vessels have porous walls can are quite large. if the soil dries out the pots act as a reserve to keep the roots well supplied,

the trees just get the right amount of water pyramid. this methods better than direct watering, because when you pull water on to the ground, the water around the tree evaporates and better still, this ancient method does the job using around 60 percent less water chemist. an olive tree expert he man quiz lottie is carrying out chests on trees. here in venice myers orchard laconically maralie meter. when the weather is humid or when it rains up by, you know, water seats out of the vessels look lost can get luscious high when it's dry and the trees need water there has their roots can absorb it directly from the supply in the buried part. as well, the bet i feel the low other a patio did the leisure and there is another advantage. these trees produce around 20 percent more olives. despite less water being used, the olla method dispenses water much more efficiently.

and tell about you, if you are also doing your bits, tell us about is this is l websites both send us the tweets hash tag doing your base? ah, we share your story. ah, lorenzo re montes africa's largest mountain range, also known as the mountains of the moon. they struggled the body to uganda and the democratic republic of congo. they are a popular destination for climbers and wildlife tourism. absolutely, and it's one of the most beautiful places in your country sondra. but sadly, here to climate change is having an impact. and the famed glazier saw a melted forest, could help to slow the process in the area. one man in uganda has used his own many

to do just that. here is our echo hero of the week. net. yes. correct. it is this good everyone to for now chatting and protecting this more for it and allowing it to florida. i've got a pattern with animals and bags and the ecosystem. we must see it amazing cause the tranquillity you can have your peace of mind here. you can mid th, i'm lake that noise in the city. tom were generous family, white blue cross from this land. but dick is that all the from a hotel man, again, medicaid with a 5 acres of it, sell a lease for 3. i've been to europe and out of these places and what not, says land geneva zurich in perry. i know these places is people have what? the green m trees and what if it is in the cities

and i don't see why we can't at least did some of those things and doing the same, you know, replicate them. we know our cities this small wooded area is close to the center of what bottom in western uganda offend. if i do as the garden city, what button is i get to it, to new men as national parks and societies. but its popularity is both a blessing and a cass. this city of 50000 inhabitants is expanding and has taken up all under local nature. we must have trees in town and be sometimes. those trees are no longer there. the news have wetlands cor salvage by louis. that's not the case. he aware this is

a wedding friend for the invader. mentalist thought. what else is surrounded by a number of be cautious, natural sites including he, ballard, national park, which is protected population of wild chimpanzees. and when elizabeth national talk home to glad tad's of elephants and, and they were as then then windsor the mountains, african clad ledges, mountain brandy. here just as, as we are on the globe, the glassy has at 5000 meters are melting due to human driven, global warming. the fresh water that flows through that eva of what bottom comes from here. it's another part of the fragile ecosystem that my janet wants to see protected. now, to reverse nitro, a know, he's both his band new resorted mountains and a n t as in eco, but as the similar cutover. and it goes through lake out but

comes out as the o. but to name and a genius the other. yeah. there are you at equally with me and off it goes to cisco now. so leslie linking to any the eco activist is so passionate about the environment. he is even willing to fight for it in court by jana celebrated success at the foot and courthouse after seeing a road construction company for polluting the air. and when the case that's when the whole country knew that even that to that i'd call certain names because it's where by every citizen they towed to clean and his environment from vain. now these fellows cannot do a rod in any, in, in a community without spraying it with the water po, war to pumps,

whatever it is on the road to, so that the, the man becomes wait and doesn't have to meet, do, let dest. but what happens to me by jam as little pod as when he is no longer around his rejected and off of minions from tourism group just is i to ensure that the what us remains as it is, even after his death when he passed away you future am people coming after me? don't destroy white, have much ed for all these years. oh, what my grandmother, who can we in 1930 lift that legacy? my mother followed it. i'll die neat. and there won't even the future generation to do this in over the last 3 decades,

uganda has lost more than half of its natural for it to encroachment according to this my salvation is that and i shall be enough incentive for the next generation to follow his example, now let's move to europe, the governments. they are searching for new sources of energy and not just because of the energy crisis caused by war in ukraine. so they switched to renewables. more and more big wind farms are been planned and constructed in the north sea. the problem is they also need regular maintenance site is from the u. k. want to help facilitate that task in the future. offshore wind turbines. they produce a lot of electricity, but maintaining them is complex and costly. this tank at a scottish university can simulate conditions at see the scientists here a testing a remotely operated vehicle?

or are we designed to make the upkeep of offshore wind farms safer and cheaper? if successful, the device could revolutionize the offshore wind industry. you have to imagine that in 1015 years time, they'll be unheard of windfalls. which means thousands of wind turbines all across the coast of the u. k. the also laughs or may be new i door, jen, technologies being developed and all of this will need to be maintained inspected and serviced otherwise with using loss. hip. we have lots of crew. this is not scalable. there are currently around $5500.00 offshore wind turbines. in europe alone, like britain, many countries on the north and baltic seas want to expand their offshore production in the coming years. wind turbines becoming bigger and bigger. most of the heavy steel structures anchored to the sea bed in deep water,

far off the coast. that puts them under a lot of strain. so the supports must be checked regularly for signs of damage. a typical mission would be to send the vehicle down. typically in the nor see 4050 meters rarely more, but in other parts of the world, you're talking of hundreds of letters. i needed to encrypt the system with some autonomy. so the system of a set of cameras here are so in our sister, acoustic system to image light and or what the gum most maintenance work on wind turbines is done by industrial divers. but it's tough work and very expensive, not to mention extremely dangerous. in future, many task could be performed by our own. these typically you would have corrosion on the, on the system. if i thought to turn evolve, you might have to correct the cable. you might have to change that,

i node clean the surface if is too much by falling, etc. so there's lots of lots of use cases for now, the robot is still connected to land by cable. later it will be able to operate fully autonomously in the sea or if necessary, be controlled by a drone pilot. the system will work for inspection of anything that you can find under. busy water for pipelines for c bed and for, for shipwrecks. anything that you would like to explore? anything that you would like to 3 d model test is still being conducted in the lab for now. but last spring, the underwater drone had its 1st field deployment. at an offshore wind farm of the northeast of england, it successfully recorded videos that allowed researches to assess the exterior condition of foundations from tables. we end up our show in the media for

more than 5 years. now, giraffes are all the red list of species threatened with extinction. once common across the continent, there are less than $100000.00 of them less war. what a shame. but there is hope we went to the country in a very soft west of africa, where santas from an inch or have been studying the rough population very closely. and they now see there are reasons to be cautiously optimistic. most people are familiar with giraffes, but far less is known about them than many realize what certain is that they are the world's tallest land, animals which enables them to reach lees high on trees in the african savannah. what's less anon is that you rubs are incredibly fast in short, best they can run up to 60 kilometers in our beyond that they are still many unanswered questions about them. what are the different species? how many giraffes currently leave in the wild?

in namibia biology, esc, lackland mac features in georgia, michelle, more one to lean more. the photograph every day of the sea, so they can be identified later at a female, right? 8573, up. so visual studies like these have concluded that they are currently only $117000.00 euros in africa. by comparison, we are nearly 4 times as many elephants. if you think about sammy locker and african elephant, there are no, you know, i ran at 400000 mark, i believe individual. so have you think back compared to 170000 individuals? and it's pretty incredible for such a, a large, a browser spaces that is kind of one of the, the most iconic spaces in africa. really. there's been very little work done on them. i suppose the priority in the past has been some of the more sexier species like elephant and lion and draft of sort of gone under the radar. and i think because they are quite wide spread throughout africa,

you feel like you see them everywhere. but that is deceptive. climate change in humans clearing land for settlements in agriculture has led to a substantial loss of happy 10th 40 wraps in the past that he is the population of these graceful animals. his sunk by about a 3rd waste in rivers also threatened their drinking water. when tories numbers dropped you to the cove, it pandemic. these guys started picking up the trash instead, which will benefit the drug in the long tim, protecting these animals has a long history in the media. if i can tell you more, little bit about the bushman, the they were not killing giraffe at all. even during their handing activities, they were not targeted to ross because they thought it was the tallest anymore. and they realized it killing a giraffe. you are cutting communication between yourself and ancestors. this was once considered a 2nd sport,

3000 year old cave drawings prove how important giraffes where to the people leaving here they regarded is bring us off life. we believe in the year of that the mag next extend beyond megan, touch their cloud and make it dream. so good. dream is a good. i happy for them. while giraffes in western and central africa as to under threat, their numbers in namibia, in its neighboring countries, are actually increasing. rising from 30000 to almost 50000. that's largely because they are better protected here in national parks. this is done vision game, reserve located near namibia capital hintock. today kids from the children's home are hoping to get the 1st glimpse of a real giraffe a little. a giraffes call like this one is very heavy. the animal sometimes use the

borne, your projections, cold or seconds in combat with other animals was like old old standing next to a lead bond gives the kids an interesting sense of proportion or on my leg dress. i love the colors and i lay it looked all like i am dull, very strong. so draft kicks are very powerful. that's how they defend themselves from treated us. example lions for they can kick a lion. the children won't have an easy time sporting the animals to day g raps. i shy. miss turtle, on the other hand, wasn't too hard to catch. you don't put your fingers next to them out. it's hoped that if children learn about the animals in the region, there will be more likely to fight to protect them in the future and doesn't get an group of kids. and when they see animals, for example, giraffe can tell you that elephant or the c o r b standard tell you it's

a horse. and that's surprising because we have so many wildlife in the country. that's why we think that if they're needing mental education and that this program is actually making a change in difficult life, giraffes prefer leaves from bushes in trees along river courses. akasha trees are among their favorites. biologist, lackland mac feature, see that as a result, they don't compete with lifestyle for food, making conflicts with farmers re sofa. the scientists have counted 450 giraffes here in northern namibia, and they are doing all they can to make sure these elegant creatures survive. wall, what beautiful creatures and what an amazing planet we have. certainly one was protected. well, i hope you enjoyed the show as much as i did. suddenly it's once again time to say good bye. from ogen state nigeria. see you next week. if you wanted to tell us your

own ideas or simply find out more dis and as an e mail or full arson, all our social media platforms there, you'll find plenty of more stories and information. so it is a good buy for me here in camp le uganda. do have yourself a wonderful week. i ah, a, a ah, with

who parched soil. as far as the i can see. in east africa, millions of people are suffering from famine and drought. in their desperation,

farmers are slaughtering their weakened animals. if it does not rain soon, their livelihood will be lost. forever. global 3030 minutes on dw laser in i'm mary smith and wooten for both body. ah, but climate change is threatening this balance. the booties are adapting to these shifts with innovative strategies. india or 90 minutes on d w. oh .

i thought it's a journey across the entire continent with a variety of cottonwood on this so well the focus, the movers, shake of visionaries and made it when binding the meaning of modern africa. this is that's an egg on d w. sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning pass like global ideas. we will show you how climate change ended or mental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing and download it now for free.
