3 per cent of the world population. very simple. that facility that's 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 grand parents and his parents. this is his business, the company of all that life. well, the winners and losers. globalization, where do we stand? starts january 5th on d, w. a. 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 charming 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 the innovative ideas to improve the environment and also clean up nature. coming up on the show, we had to somalia, wesley, a drought is making life difficult for the holidays. we also visit farmers in britain while reduced the amount of newfound cows emits and go to gun via wary such as of teamed up with local people to collect climate data on the gambia river electron mobility, either starting to take off in africa. many new initiatives are looking for ways to expand these sustainable technology. now in some city, among public transport is getting on board. when reason a living are in mobility trouble, solutions and kenya is really taking the long by loans in climate friendly boats to

cut the loosen on leg victoria with as dusk fools jerrod or t n. a heads out on to lake victoria. since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe im exhaust for years. and it's not as noisy either. or jenny 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 tips. it might order me get contact with a manila you this 1st tree all the gear saw removing, you'd have gum cumbersome reviews. one you just do just automatically come up with

them. he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called or saw them. every morning he returns the used batteries, and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set. a sober rents out the motors for the equivalent of around $38.00 euros a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 per day. the dutch startup, as silva 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 look at it. every new customer receives a free training session. so it depends on the crappy little in just a few days. they learned the most important things that we, those am theory will then practice on the water to get used to the email. that was the local joshua on the rooker has been involved since the start and understands what the fisherman need. the company we lou lou lou will need to to do some more difficult on i'm only really sad that the inital mortgagee cover luka our fishermen, most of them try to go find the stars a silver is working to improve the situation, but 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 buddies will make them more duleigh, said the dorsal we much, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if, if a customer to go far, we give them more bodies, then we chide this recharge fee. but like you don't 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. a sofa is 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 an emergency in kenya. the aim is

to organize a lobby urging politicians to promote electric vehicles. people are excited about immobility and they'll party to 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 than immobility might just as well be another illusion that will struggle. that gets towards around $25000.00 bows 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 cat 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 sherman, then now is mere fishing. then what of my jewelry saw out of this one? i'm praying god willing that my children not to be fishing us. so the sooner the better another's husband does, why now i'm so i'll put in the do cushion for friday. would additional info from bare b if they're employed to be can change my, our life. jared, a t n o has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors. but he and a silvo are still among the pioneers of e mobility and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to like victoria and it's fish. it ease 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 family knows that cows don't just supply us with meta milk. the odd digestive process emits lots of the greenhouse gas methane off the train out various ways to reduce those emissions. they've come up with a promise in solution kills, exude a certain com. they're also very intelligent and a key source of food for humanity. john edward towers have a special bond with these animals. father and son are dairy farmers in northern england. they are only concern, is that they cows produce large quantities of me thing,

a potent greenhouse gas wheaton solve the problems that we've got with an industry . and it's affecting the plant and a bad way. we can't produce milk and people can drink milk. we need to solve these problems as an industry for the industry to carry on because it is not serving the planet well which an oven. there is some 1500000000 cows on the planet. they produce a 3rd of the world, 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 intestine. ah, the result is astonishing. the kinds of mit left me think

the toe is received regular visits from other farmers and agricultural experts. like these representatives from a livestock auction house. the towers 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 and frankly knock our product down by about 15 percent in terms of the overall carbon footprint. this is the climate we're, we've been feeding. so the galaxy such as that shot is fairly strong smelling m. if you want to have a low where they don't get too close, got ill. lucky socks off the mill, 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,

if too poor for most crops, but perfect for cows to graze on protecting the air is something farmer john towers sees as his spare responsibility. ah, me 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 they 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 supplement to the 400 cal costs, the tower is about 20000 years here. tell us to note will be a part of emissions trading and future, allowing pharmacy to offset the additional costs. he has many more plans for the

future. i want to put solar panels on and i want to have electric chances. and i want to let you know have a, have a cobra ville again so that i can capture them a fan and use it for instructors online 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, how is says many farm is an 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. and milk doesn't taste if gornick at all according to the european statistical office, the average european generator just shy of $180.00 killers of pocket and waste in 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, the lever sector. what 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 reusable alternatives. with 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. nick moves when they get worn out there, recycled into a new material. here at a grocery store in cologne. and app releases a bowl from a dispenser which customers then 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 the 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 whole 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 off saving them. it is breakfast time in the better coming 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 all the activity at the age of the

enclosure, in the heaps of freshly cut grass leaves and tree testimonials for the english, but also vitality to their health. leave nothing to graze on the cindy ground. a son of did our minds have been the fund manager a head this size typically is more room to room, but space year is limited. they are either the regularly or, or color you face so many challenges when you bring candles to the city and gentle or not. and also how does the animals need to be trained to leave on the small area? yeah, cobra, so that requires a lot of patience and experience the hour, the other challenges of finding enough food for the camels in the city, and ensuring the provided that things build geared from the dealers see the nerve who were all high. finally, the gate is opened year in the enclosure that is more than enough for every 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. or what duncan good or do you really my dear, 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. so legit no actually. so malia 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 their hussein ibrahim was seen in other head as is going by the day their flocks are shrinking, become old, simply cannot find enough to eat in the bushland of the lowest billy region in

eastern somalia. running february, we heard us talk a lot about how to get our camels away from here and find new grazing areas because it hasn't rained in so long. drought is everywhere. how, 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 animals. 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 turn, good data. another reason we brought us candles 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 overnight. now we can deliver freshly milt right here in the board number is our little bombay allen on is looking,

is done every day in the bed, a camel from much to the displeasure of the young calls. but business takes precedence was, is i ari, our little logo halligan, alamo dollar. we sell one liter of our com, no milk for $2.00. and i saw how the album my head also i tie, we normally produce 900 to 1000 liters of camel milk. every day of school, the 9 on plane on by the lawyer. hey allison, normally if demand is high, we increase all new production to meet the needs of our customers and clean on layla 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 oh, milk is very nutritious impact would be to means making a popular not just in somalia with business who 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 st. ibrahim, who sing plans to move on with his camels, in the hope of finding enough food in water elsewhere, or from somali on the east coast, with our heads to the west coast and the cumbia, the smallest 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 in the reverse 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, when when it increased every change as 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 gumby 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, do point, and the wind direction. the effects of climate change are causing hardship for many who lived near the river. for centuries, but help subsisted on small scale fishin 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 killed many cheese. that's been disastrous for farmers like, but to mutter barrow ha, ha, ha ha. we used to harvest rice here gown, but now they yielded low am would wend among gross, we're healthy, 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 and d environment 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 program, environmental measurement systems project, and it is the research project we have our college in environmental data along there were gamez understand this is not an yellow fluctuations happening. but what's away is almost 1200 kilometers long. so the institute to lie 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 banjo. my role as it citizen and the other collector is to collect data and then send to them every week and also train some students along with me to also be gone. 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 an 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 man groups also means a loss of habitat and beating ground for fish and other aquatic life. the fresh water fish have moved further upstream with

a help of international and deals and volunteers and seminar double pops to restore the mongol forest, but with a different, more robust variety. thanks that he did as required regressing to shoot we are been able to know the salinity level of, of the water. and secondly, re, i've been able to identify the species of mangrove re, half within our eco system. they observe a lot of sort a lag before wendy hours. not 30 sort in tucson is high. we're now house demographers are sort taura label the observer let or so that has made a decrease in salinity level, which cindy woman rice futrell mata barrel, who has been gwin rice here for 20 years hawks, the newly planted red mangroves 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 a 150000 mongrels having planted in the gum down river delta. in order to concept ecosystem. the symbiosis of scientific knowledge and local engagement as barren fruits, quality water is indispensable, and is sasha to life as other people who 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 seeing you again next week. and i was just like to remind you that vase and other additions of a cou 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,
