works but he does not reach more than 30 percent of the world population. very simple. that facility that is very convenient for the chinese. after all, the port will be for very exclusive use, but i am the mediterranean as potomac, kind of great sarcophagus. if anything he was proud of, it was to be a steal worker, like his grandparents and his parents. this is his business, the company of all life. well, the winners and losers. globalization, where do we stand? starts january 5th on d, w. if it's with i with hello and welcome to a new edition of echo africa. the weekly environment show brought to you by daughter bella in germany and t v. and uganda and channels debbie here in nigeria.

my name is crystal omes are with me. is my charmian co host saga? hello from capella? i am sandra, twin over you wonder for to have you with us. and hopefully we're going to inspire you. we bit climate heroes and innovative ideas to improve the environment and also clean up nature. coming up on the, shall we, head to somalia. wesley, a drought is making life difficult for the holidays. we also visit farmers in britain while reduced the amount of nathan cole's emit and go to gambia, where researchers of teamed up with local people to collect climate data on the gambia river electron mobility, even starting to take off in africa. many new initiatives are looking for ways to expand the sustainable technology. now in some cities,

among public transport is getting on board. well, reason a living in mobility couple solutions and kenya is really taking the long by loans in climate friendly boards to cut melissa on leg victoria with as dusk fools, jared or to, you know, hits out on to lake victoria since he started using an electric motor he and his team no longer have to breathe im exhaust fumes and it's not as noisy. oliver or chinney was one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to be careful with stubborn. so any throw tubes, it might, ought of me get contact with her manila you this 1st

tree all the gear saw removing. you'd have gum cumbersome reviews, one just due to just automatic 3rd come up with him. he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called or silver number. every morning he returns the used batteries, and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set, a sober runs out the motors for the equivalent of around $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. the dutch started a silvo, had to do a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water, the fishermen have to call their rescue number that we can resolve on call. but

sometimes when their technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of the engine for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps track is so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency in luckily we don't need every new customer receives a free training session. so it depends on the coffee table in just a few days. they learned the most important things that we, those mccleary will then practice on the water to get used to the emails and what will be unlocked. joshua rocha has been involved since the start and understands what the fisherman need to call the company lou louis lou will need to to do some more difficult online. only they listed that the inital mom. did you cover laker our fishermen?

most of them try to go find the stars a sofa is working to improve the situation that it's made contact with companies and kenya and uganda that refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate in these like unbelief batteries will make them more duleigh. so that also we might, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if, if a customer want to go far, we give them more bodies, then we chide this rich, i'd feed but, but to lake you want to go far. we give you full batteries, you want to go short distance. we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you are used. i saw both the 1st company in kenya to invest an e, mobility on water, and one of the few in general on the countries e markets. electric mobility is still in its infancy here. there are some electric cars and buses and even some e bikes. warren,

on don gay rides, one of them. he's a member of a e. m. d a, an association that provides a platform for the nearly 20 companies investing in emer banassi and kenya. the aim is to organize the lobby, urging politicians to promote electric vehicles. people are excited about immobility, endo petite, that he brings. it has tremendous environment of benefits. but unless we have the right incentives to allow for the final price and the value to the customer to be affordable, then immobility might just as well be another illusion that will struggle. that gets towards around $25000.00. both are out on lake victoria every day, and many of them belong to kenyan fishermen who used combustion engines, which pollute the lake and home the fish population. often the fishermen only get small silver cypress from the lake. and there catch quotas have also declined in

recent years. jared or tina is wife and mother take care of the catch every morning . first drawing it and then selling it as quickly as possible. the fish are the main source of income for the family of 12. they also use the money to pay the school fees for their, for children. and they've even managed to build a 2nd boat. jared atlanta wants to equip this one with an electric motor too. he has a plan for his family. get my father one source of fishermen. then now is mere fishing . then what of my jewelry saw out of this one? i'm praying god, really that my children, no to be fishing mercer so the sooner the better another system does, why? now i'm so i put in an edition provider who did wishful from bear b if they're employed to be can change my our life. jared aquino has already

persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors. but he and a silvo as still among the pioneers of e mobility. and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to like victoria and his fish. it is an encouraging start setting, a good example and spreading the wide ease of great, which is part of positive change for the environment. absolutely. sandra. other have another example of that from england. the toss formerly knows that cows don't your supply else with meter milk. the i digestive process emits lots all the greenhouse gas methane after trying out various ways to reduce those emissions. they've come up with a promise in solution close exude a certain com. they're also very intelligent and a key source of food for humanity. john and edward towers have

a special bond with these animals. father and son are dairy farmers in northern england. their only concern is that they cows produce large quantities of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. wheaton solve the problems that we've got with an industry . and it's affecting upon and a bad way. we can't produce milk and people can drink milk. we need to solve these problems as an industry for industry to carry on because it is not serving upon it well, which and other there is some 1500000000 cows on the planet. they produce a 3rd of the world's methane emissions, mainly through their belching. this makes them a climate hazard. so the towers are experimenting with a new type of feed supplement made from garlic and citrus. it influences enzymes in the cow stomach and in testing

ah, the result is astonishing. the count, the mit left, me think the toe is received regular visits from other farmers and agricultural experts like these representatives from a life stock auction house. the, i always want their visitors to recommend the new product, so that more farmers can reduce their carbon footprint. is about 50 percent of most farms. carbon footprint is that and certainly if animation so it would then knock your, in fact the knock our product down by about 15 percent in terms of the overall carbon footprint. this is the product we're, we've been feeding. so the gal, his citrus that shot is fairly strong smelling and if you want to have a lot of where they don't get too close, go, so i'll knock your socks off, but yeah, the mil, tentative to cow's milk, such as soy oat, an almond milk,

have been gaining popularity in recent years. that's a trend the towers find very concerning. their family has lived in lancashire, for centuries. farmers, he is say the soil is to pull from most crops, but perfect for girls to graze on. protecting the air is something farmer john towers sees as his special responsibility a fail. i'm very fortunate to be working with the younger generation of my family who are probably more foresighted than i am. and there could see the change coming faster than i could see. common, and they've driven our business in that direction to face the challenge and to adapt our market to what our consumer is actually looking for. feeding the garlic supplements for that $400.00 pounds cost. the tower is about $20000.00 euros

a year. it's how is that the milk will be a part of emissions trading and future, allowing pharmacy to offset the additional cost. he has many more plans for the future. i want to put solid panels on and i want to have electric shots as and i want to let you know have a, have a camera vill again so that i can capture them a fan and use it for instructors all and things cost money. and if we do them all at once, run out of cash, and i'm, we're a terrible example even more than ideas we're going to work. and so it's a case if i'm sometimes raining in your ambitions or making sure you got partnerships with other companies also have the same kind of values issue. john tao is says many farm is up old school. i'm reluctant to change, but father and son aim to do everything in their power to make other dairy farmers more climate conscious. and they have one good argument in their favor. then milk doesn't taste if gornick at all. according

to the european statistical office, the average european generated just shy of 180 killers of pocket and waste. a 2019 figures varied from each country, of course, as the the rate of recycling in many places a big contributor to the waste heat comes from the food to lever sector. but business is the starting to take a proactive approach to the issue. here is the 6 doing your beats. bah, pizza boxes, beverage cubs, and other takeaway, try spill out of the way. spins in many cities. it's a huge burden on the environment because next to none of it can be recycled. $770.00 tons of such packaging is tossed out every day in germany alone. but some restaurants and startups have started providing customers with re usable

alternatives. our regular customers love it. they pay us more deposit to get their food ready to serve and bring back the teams the next day, circling and elsewhere. both containers, like these can be both for feed ryan app. after you use customers have up to 14 days to return them. the history guardian is the manufacturer guarantees $200.00 cycles. miss munos when they get worn out there, recycled into a new material here at a grocery store in cologne. an app releases a bowl from a dispenser which customers can fill up for themselves. only the content await and paid for. after being returned to a collection point, the containers are picked up and taken to be cleaned. for now, initiatives like these a voluntary but very se to change as of next year, restaurants and cafes in germany will be required to offer their customers reusable

containers for food and beverages. mm hm. and how about you? if you are also doing your bill, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweak hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. the u. n. word food program says that somalia faces the very real risk of famine in the common months drought conditions in the hall of africa have grown ever worse. over the past 3 years, millions of large storks of perished in somalia, 30 percent of households of lost their herds since meet 2021. even hardy heat resistant carmel said, died. now some hurt us i had in for some aaliyah's biggest city in the hopes of saving them. it is breakfast time in the better camel farm. on the outskirts of the

somali capital, mogadishu, one or 2 animals, have found something to chew on, but they are all pretty hungry. all eyes are on the activity at the age of the enclosure, in the heaps of freshly cut grass leaves and tree just to morsels for the english, but also vital to their health. leave nothing to graze on the cindy ground. a son of did a man, so be it is the fund manager a head this size typically is more room to room, but space year is limited. there are either tomorrow or your or her. you face so many challenges when you bring candles to the city and gentle order, and also has the animals need to be trained to leave on the small area your cobra. so that requires a lot of patience and experience the all. the other challenges are finding enough food for the camels in the city and ensuring we are provided that things build

geared from the dead sea, the nerve who we are all, all high. finally, the gate is opened yet in the enclosure that is more than enough or if one that wasn't always the case when they had had to scrounge for food out on the open plains just as camels here have done for centuries. a woodland king or you will give anybody or when the draught struck the countryside where camels traditionally leave, there was nothing to graze on and a short fall offering. it forced us to move our animals here to the city all sir, legit, no answer. hurriedly. somalia is one of the country's heat, particularly hard by climate change. persistent drought is slowly destroying the traditional grazing length. the vegetation is dying back and water holes are drying out even camels, which can survive long stretches on very little a dying from thirst or hunger. the despair filled bear who st. ibrahim was seen in

other head as is growing by the day their flocks are shrinking, become old, simply cannot find enough to eat in the bushland of the lot of billy region in eastern somalia. and i knew february, we had us talk a lot about how to get our candles away from here and find new grazing areas because it hasn't rained in. so long. drought is everywhere. if it gets worse and we can't be dar camel's, we'll have to abandon them and go to the city to civil children and ourselves. carry on the milan. many somalis are moving to the capital to escape the effects of climate change. mogadishu population has doubled, 2400000 people over the last 20 years. it was in that growing market that her son abdulla months, abriya recognized in opportunity soft alcala, in burn core data. another reason, the growth of camels to the city is to provide fresh milk to the people who live in

mogadishu and its surrounding areas. in the past, people have to go to law areas to get it or die. now we can deliver a freshly milt right here in the ne board annual about his own obama on his looking is done every day in the bed, a camel from much to the displeasure of the young calls. but business takes precedence. was i ari, our little logo, holligan, alamo dollar. we sell one liter of our com, no milk for $2.00. and i saw how the album i had also the i tie, we normally produce 900 to 1000 liters of come know, milk every day of school, the 9 on plane on by the lawyer. hey, allison, normal, if demand is high, we increase all new production to meet the needs of our customers and clean unless are come later said of all the order. the fresh milk, if immediately loaded up and taken to the city, restaurants in hotels are important. customers come al. milk is very nutritious

impact would be to means making popular not just in somalia with business to me. the better camel from can afford to buy concentrate feeds for the animals. it's an important way of making up for drought related food shortages. being the camels to the city, his turned out to be a good move, but not everyone can afford to do the same. so instead was seen, abraham was seen plans to move on with his camels in the hope of finding enough food and water ill sway on from somali on the east coast without head to the west coast. and the cumbia was wallace country in midland, africa there 2 people are struggling to adapt to climate change while drought ease a major problem. in many areas, people who leave any rivers may seem fortunate, but increasing me salt water is sipping into fresh water sources. which of course

disrupt the natural ecosystem and even the ability to farm basic crops. now, one initiative is bringing together scientists and the local people to make a very big difference. ah, one way to increase every change is carefully noted, m u h week cardiac to clarity and a be see not david davis collect environmental data from the aquatic on terrestrial echo systems in 6 locations along the gambia river. right now i'm recording the parameters we have here, which is their temperature humidity, the wind speed, the wind chill, the air pressure, altitude, due point, and the wind direction. the effects of climate change are causing hardship for many who lived near the river. for centuries,

the health subsisted on small scale fishing and farming man groups, which will to salt out of the water, made that possible, but duty to rise and sea level and extensive droughts. the reverse salt content got so high, it's killed many trees. that's been disastrous for farmers like fat to mutter barrow ha car, florida. we used to harvest rice here down, but now they yielded 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 enroll upon it. not a lot of research has been done on bio diversity, india varmint in the gumbo. so that makes predict the impact climate change might have on local ecosystems. more difficult, that inspired 10 young scientists to launch the gems initiative. jazz is an acronym for gram environmental measurement systems project,

and it is the research project we have our college in environmental data along there began miss 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 double a journalist by trade double works as a citizen scientist, 20 kilometers from the capital ban jewel. my role as it citizen and the other collector is to collect data and then send to them every week and also to and some students along with me to also begun know how to collect data i decide to participate in this project. 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 mangroves also means a loss of habitat and breeding 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 my not double hopes to restore de mangled for us, but with a different, more robust variety. thanks that he did as we collect regressing shoot, we are been able to know the salinity level of, of the water and secondary. i've been able to identify a dispute this of mangrove re half. we didn't know ecosystem. they observed a lot of sort of lag before wendy. ours, north city, salt into sunnyside, but now house demand was our sort of tora label the absolve. let us or that has made a decrease in salinity level, which andy woman rises far too much at barrow,

who has been gwin rice here for 20 years hawks, the newly planted red mongrels will give her crops a fighting chance. y'all. well, we thank god, what a new man gross along the river asked a grow less salt. we'll get through gardening elaine and wound it since august 2021 more than 850000 mongrel was having planted in the gum down river delta in order to concept ecosystem. the symbiosis of scientific knowledge and local engagement as barren fruit quality water is in this festival, and is sasha to life as other people walk hard to protect it. that is all for this edition of equal africa, it is time for me to be do farewell from complex. i and sandra tween odeo and i would definitely be singular again, next week. and i was just like to remind you that vase and other additions of

a co africa can be viewed online, drop off the line and tell us how you like the show. or she has some of your stories on projects that support the environment where you leave. for now i am chris alam signing off from nigeria. ah, ah ah, ah, ah ah, ah, with
