a game changer for gunners, cocoa farmers by next w as you go to use, it also will grey you ah, ah ah well come to a qu, africa, i hope you're ready for packed shoe. i am chris alone, coming to you from ogen state nigeria. hi there,

i am sondra to interview and happy to be with you as well from capella, here in uganda, coming up, we'll meet some of the activists fighting to protect nature. and we lead our very survival also on the shall power weaving can protect us, come to my sunlight, and how corolla can be produced sustainably. we are wives, sisters, friends, and also mothers. women across the world show the great responsibilities. and many are also particularly committed to protecting mother pumps. because we understand how important i healthy planet is for our descendants. our 1st report takes us to ivory coast where we meet female activists standing up for the environment. oh, good. much lies hidden under the sand

here, but it's not treasure people from nearby villages bury waste on the beach which re, surfaces when the tide comes in, martinez was there. we knew is getting local community is involved in cleanups with her injury over caesar, she aims to raise young people's awareness of pollution. is to be by the markets are not enough to have policies and laws, although they're very important and i'm working on that. how to communities act, what contributions can they make on a daily basis? how can we encourage people to adjust their habits in small ways? bringing about behavioral changes is extremely complicated. to reduce, the activist has invited several media organizations to take part to day. what is unusual, while women are often committed to environmental protection, many keep a low profile and their initiatives remain confined to the private sphere. with only on vancoogerin from once, a young woman, seeing

a woman at the forefront of initiatives already shows that we women have a responsibility to raise awareness lap, which is our new process there where you have available. so it also inspires me to see someone so dedicated to the cause of protecting the environment without reload, blah. women are also disproportionately affected by climate change and pollution according to you and report. another important reason to encourage their participation. aviva t do is a no go is an eco toxicology professor. she says, due to cultural customs, it's women who are often absent from debates on the topic. changes in the air. however, on social media to yeah, we'll call to no positive hon la, behind us. there are many women who don't speak up because they're not used to speaking in public, into over law though course of the day sense to themselves and that set. oh

no, that's why if you look for them, you can't find them here was malicious all of them. i think that fortunately things are changing more and more. there are many young women who speak out who defend their rights or who defend the environment, and who are committed to humanist causes, causal. things are changing, fortunately, says hostile horseman, ah, the growing sense of urgency is undeniable. enlarge african cities like a visual pollution is increasing and the last green spaces are disappearing. women and children are the worst exposed as they often live in rundown areas. plastic waste, in particular, is a huge problem. to create more awareness about pollution and reduce litter artist, moon, or mickely, regularly organizers, workshops or children in the neighborhoods of abidjan above rocky edge. a girl,

a child who learns how to take bottles and turn them into a work of art, will gather them up at home and be creative with them. that his parents won't understand. but he'll say, mom, i want to make something with this. it's fun. am i said the child educates his parents without knowing it. another way to inspire conservation is to go out into nature like into abby genes, bunco forest, the ivory and capitals, last green lung. the program evey awful, re organizes educational visits. it's founder till a ball on delay is passionate about nature. to imagine they go home, imagine someone coming in to your house and breaking everything. would you like that? or would you divide? and i mentioned it's the same thing. so when we enter the forest, we must respect the home of the trees and the animals any more. she wants to prepare the young ones to take over on counter what amazon is. all we're really

counting on the children to become a generation of eco responsible adults that has shown that youth equal. that's what we want to create a yield with a generation that is sensitive to the issues here that wants to protect the environment for business, and that is even capable of restoring it to schooling about her marriage is there or a new moon. i make her lay and tell a boss on delay. these are just 3 of the women in ivory coast who are getting involved and standing up for environmental protection. wall. how inspiring and find the people in our next report. equally inspiring weavers in spain. are we using plastic bugs to create something extra special, less wine of more in these weeks, doing your beat? ah colorful sunshades. have given this village a whole new nuke? they're made of plastic waste, skilfully crocheted by residence of their,

their de la verda. the village, famous for its historic center, is about a 150 kilometers west of madrid. the group that makes the shades is led by architect head designer, marina fernandez. that are more than you thought a we tried to re purpose shopping bags of them or other waste from packaging and used that to crochet the sunshades via gallery around lobby. the old they prolong the life of the material and transforms it into something new. the also benefits the municipality, and all that was going to so many people most of the work is done in winter in preparation for the long, hot summer. maria deadra c o explains how it works. if at the end of this you get a lot more depending on how thick on the yarn i chin and cut the strips wider or narrower and data, i cut them diagonally to make ribbon which gets twisted into yawn.

i'm. that's what we then crochet with. whatever film they take, the colorful sunshades are designed to appeal to tourists. in particular, the many small businesses in by that at the la vera depend on the money brought in by the visitors. but the ones made from plastic waste provide an added benefit to local residents, tourists, and not least the environment. oh, and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it. visit our website, or send us a tweet. patch tag doing your bit. we share your stories. of the ivory coast, gonna ease the walls, 2nd largest export of cookery. the cook. what beans must have grown by the small farmers but outdated plantations. diseases affecting the cook or trees on

increasing draught due to climate change, a making life difficult for them. a project hopes to revive the fortunes of gonna small farmers by showing them how to cultivate the beans differently. adam of whose any is checking the condition of his cocoa trees and removing excess shoot. he wants to get his plantation into shape important visitors are on their way. a scientist from the state cocoa authority, he said he'll be coming by today. i was at our office my to day and i think with just a few glances, are most cordial. why sees what adam of who sydney has done wrong? for starters this fruit a squirrel nibbled on it, that farmer should have chopped it off immediately. now answered eaten the cocoa

beans and are threatening the other fruits to and there's another problem. this, it is 3 these 3. thanks a lot of water from the soil. assuming you cut to the root of it, you see a lot of water coming out of it. is that doing addresses in order? as i said, italy's, which means is very good to proceed for the co code in addresses in. but on the other hand, because it takes too much water from the soil, it is computing for water and nutrients widow who plants the fact that the soils water balance could be a problem is new to adam of whose any he only thought about the shade. his coco plans needed he learned about shade from his father, orlando ost monro, a cocoa farmer who rehabilitated his farm with the support of a dutch and g. o. when he saw his father's farm taking off, he decided to quit his job as a teacher lot. and so a lot of enrollment as well. my prize, they were to get food to feed the family and

a saudi food i. he says when with at minus on dance comes roaring, come for for the family and runny, they had an army left. i think going to full fam, almost coach or choir, examines the right cocoa pods. it's out of my food and he's 1st harvest. the scientist divides the fruit into 3 groups based on quality. this also let him make predictions for future years. uh huh. okay. look, i'm back with about 84 kilograms. so if it were to get at it of them, ah, from next year on was as if i'm ages, we can predict that their farm is going to do very well. miss our people, however you adam of who's and he can only achieve this goal. if he manages his farm flawlessly, almost cojo quite shows him how the trees have to be pruning and you look so they have all the energy goes into fruit production and to warns against the use of pesticides. sadie close to the t. v. now we have taught their co farmers in ghana

not to use we decide any more because a we decides where destroying the soil is what does making us well heavy. it was killing microorganisms that's make the sway loose ends and good. instead, he recommends applying compost fertilizing the soil with compost alone is not enough though. climate change is presenting coco farmers in western ghana with new challenges because of drought. this farmer water says 12 acre farm by hand every week august and the google. but i'll as it or die because of the how much i altima fuson his father has it easier now. the dutch n g o, as in v, drilled a board hole on orlando us manas farm and installed a drip irrigation system, a pilot project for the region. it

says in for some people from as in v installed this water from forming, it was free. i didn't pay anything, not one city, and i didn't have to worry about food or where the workers would sleep. when they were finished, they just handed me the soda machine. i never would have expected anything like that. when i asked for an estimate of the costs, i was told $21000.00, so i wouldn't have been able to come up with that. even if my family had sold everything household dollies, orlando us, mano has to take care of the maintenance of the wealth and give some of the water to his neighbors. in the capitol acro, the state cocoa regulator, cocoa bod, knows irrigation is critical. officials want to increase annual yields by $50000.00 tons to a total of $1500000.00 tons without clearing more jungle and without using boar holes. ball whose during the dry season. it doesn't yield much vase that we are. we're interviews, streams, and perry now,

what assholes and we're going to do for now. 4000, i guess theft integral, round 500 kilometers away in silver crone adam of hussein, ease, home village. the farmers are discussing how they can benefit from the program. and if anyone wanting an irrigation system from cocoa bard who has to pay back the costs over a number of years, which can be a big challenge for one individual, we're all of our youths here. those are who farmers. i so does that as you put out the asset into groups, it will help us creating a co operative. but until then adam us who seine is trying to get as much out of his plantation as possible. we have just seen how the cultivation of cocoa in gonna can be improved, but in the wider cocoa industry, there are still too many examples of ecological over exploitation. so what about giving up chocolate? from time to time?

we made some innovator then germany, who are found to st. alternative a wound without chocolate, simply unimaginable for many people. the average german eats almost 13 kilos of the sweet stuff each year. but what you see here on the conveyor belts isn't really chocolate. close to munich, su, technologist anna alina. cook is hard at work comp reducing nicola, a vague and chocolate without coco either hopped on that he had bounced on the main difference with our nicola, is that we use oats instead of coping, horner, and pump in terms of the process. it's very similar to using coco warner for 5. there's fermentation of him and then drying, and then the actual roasting presentations to her so the outs of fermented using, specially cultivated yeasts. then a co chocolate also contains out flour, sugar, and ground. eroni berries. shay butter helps create the smooth texture this

combination and shows no co as environmental footprint is 90 percent smaller than that of conventional chocolate. that's because most cocoa is grown in west africa in ghana and ivory coast, in particular, producing just one kilogram of conventional chocolate generates up to 45 kilos of c o. 2. the outs used in the production of no koa can be sourced locally cutting out the need for shipments from africa. but could this vague inversion threatened the livelihoods of african cocoa farmers? and most of all 3 of our i probably won't be the reason cocoa farmers produce fewer beans in the future. i hope that will be caused by climate change. because if it gets $1.00 degrees hotter ovens and up to 50 percent of that is growing areas will cease to exist because it will simply be to drive to cultivate cocoa popular for columbo parts. if only half as much coco can be produced. will chocolate become an expensive luxury for the few traditional chocolate manufacturers idle is not taking

any chances their testing whether the fake chocolate can be processed in the same way as chocolate made with cocoa and are coming up. i would say here you can see that there are no fatty edges and no streaks. so we can actually continue to the next step in the process of the bottom. mcmakin, even the green button. yes. the green felt prey lines shaped like slices of cake and one of his idols best sellers. nicola schools highly in terms of sustainability and health. the staunch contained in the outs means that 30 percent less sugar needs to be added to the mixture. if you haven't, you still see visible out of them all. i don't think that it will push trop,

laid out over the market well, and that's not, no co is go either. but it's a good alternative for people who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint to, to or to not even if you're looking for a young, environmentally and health conscious crowd. good. any sta in munich is the place to go at least half of all coffee, or does he a request out or almond milk is the perfect place to test nicola on its target demographic. hi. hi. can i offer you a piece of coco free chocolate tomato? what's in it then? you saw it's made with oh, this push. i never say no to chocolate. it's fagan kennel. slow. it surprisingly sweet. yeah. really sweet. i didn't expect that in class. what there's a type of butter in there. right. so she she butter. how does that, does it taste like macadamia you who was like shay, butter smells and body lotion. taps on i tried a lot of vegan chocolates,

and i'm usually not a fan because they're made with rise and i can taste it. but this is really good. the things make to me, that's why i like it. i always drink goat, malcolm, which i have a smoke of it. sure taste good. i'd like another piece. can i have another nicola is still in the testing phase, but in early 2023. the sustainable chocolate should be available in still was back in africa, we had over to run death. after the 1994 genocide booster to run the refugees, what fled the country? return home. fossils of dam site today in the aka jiro national park. because they had nowhere else to go. they also brought their life stock with that. it became a big problem for the park and eats protection much of the forest was cleared to obtain land for agriculture and also bracing. now many animals were hunted on

killed, some wildlife species even went extinct. poaching onto numerous conflicts with the local population, only made the situation more complicated. now things seem to be changing. we paid a visit to the park and also it's people with an elephant. so buffalo's a decade ago, white lie sightings like these. we re un wanders, a car garage, national ha, john v. she's a mana, enjoys find in animals to shoot visitors. black rhinos and lions were also re introduced in the park until 2010. it was open season for coaches here, cattle heard as like the animals grease, the grassland plains, and killed any lions that attacks the life between one and time zone. you are the one over the porch us. i cannot say why i can say that

i did said the story, but we did my father on a bus. we used to, to italy, to select bush from. it's as we so as we are sitting tomatoes by but by a distance to see someone sitting bush mit, it's like you possible in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide, many tootsies who fled to uganda, tanzania, and booty returned to rwanda and settled in i could get the live from hurting, and the seal of bush meets at a point when 2 thirds of the park was inhabited and portion was rampant, the government finally stepped in to protect the wildlife. the other 3rd, roughly 1120 square kilometers, was fin stove before and then there was a lot of pushing and pushing means killing animals, the poco to disappear in one way or another. and that's where the government code

up on the african box to come in. do you destroy it to manage it effectively? the pock management included the returning to says in the plan from the very beginning about $650.00 of them work us hawk ranges and for our guides. 250. how full time position, like john via, she's a mana why locals are allowed to fish in the parks. large leaks. but only if they join a corporate in return. all members receive a monthly stipend. john ve. she's a marina has be launched a call for 8 years. we used to to book the fishing in it, which can cause the small fish the medium salads finished the big fish. so that to conceal dislike empty by now. well, by using the appropriate fishing and else we are catching the fish, which are much white enough. and then this more fish can pass through,

then it's the fish is then sold to the community at reduced rate. for about one you repeat killer instead of the usual for you lose that makes illegal phishing less attractive. in addition, the cummins is living here. she had 10 percent of the pox revenue in 2022. that amounted to about $470000.00 units. that money can be used to build schools, hospitals, and well, this gives locals including the fishermen, an incentive to care for the environment. a marked on the kwanisha paula hung, how many we have prompt this is in place to protect the environment. when we efficiently lakes the fishing sites are spread out like lima has, its owner was only cash bigger fish and in the limited amount with a great care to maintain the environmental delay under nature, the lock, it was only want to structure here own highly cool. the hun,

i'm never saw. one time the environmental protection is as he talked to the schools to ensure such devastation never happens again. teaching the kids is a label of love for job, eat and yeah. quick learners. but he has no suitable thought on you idea. we go many products. yes. we are from families approaches and we thought not how life is that a vis awareness has really changed on the signing of environmental protection your role. as a few days ago, i saw boucher taking an animal home from the heart of a cordial sandwiches right away. i thought was impossible by default. why would it you know, not will he do in the past decade? oh, chin has dropped dramatically. it's a clear indication that the conservation efforts are succeeded. it's my responsibility to teach my neighbors, to sure to show them, ah, the goods of the nature. to show them why we have to protect the miniature. he

sees the results every day, wide life populations, our group. today there are some 100 elephants. i could gara is currently the only parking rwanda that is whom to africa's iconic big 5. and that attract tourists. this year, the pock welcome to 40000 visitors. almost as many as before, the pandemic, and now the animals have no reason to fear humans. only seeing as you might being to like die, they would escape run for life. but now could the puck as well protected? nope, what ye lay fear safe. although it's not the size, it once was preserving the area of the national park, as certainly been beneficial to both wildlife and local residents.

maybe this park could become a road bordeaux for other national parks too. i'm impressed with what they've done . well, that's all for this week. thank you for watching. bye bye for me in nigeria. don't forget to check out our social media channels. if you want to know more right to us see next week and do take care. bye bye from uganda. ah, ah ah. ah, with

who knew best bashes a 1000000000 dollar business for the gross exploitation for the men and pollution for everyone. the chinese fashion giant shaking clips. anything

like it before ever faster and ever cheaper, but it will cost the world so much more than money. 3030 minutes, d, w. now in how to rescue food and solve india is huge. wastage problem start up in new delhi has a sub and it turns out food into animal feed from the city. the contact is finding consensus and not just among the counter. be cocaine. in 90 minutes on d w. a. we're all good to go beyond deal
