getting oh, we have an exponential growth in bullshit. how can we feed every one does mean we don't want to chase climate change with our food supply? questions for the present or future heads filled with ideas. and when we learn something, the hardware and software of our brain change ideas. so get really for the brain update. 40 to the answer to almost everything. starts january 15th on d, w i bill, lifestyles of been day. people require a lot of energy to produce that energy. we've done incredible damage to nature and

environment, but it is possible to do things differently. welcome to a new edition of a co africa. i am chris limbs integral state nigeria. thank you, chris. it is to right there lords of encouraging projects underway to help restore and also protect nature or be showing his some of them in the next half hour. i am sandra twin over here in camp la gander. aunt here is a preview of what's in store passenger balls in legacy help residents circumvent traffic jams. pulpits in germany are transformed into natural or says and solar part is changing rule life in love with a gun going to school every single morning is routine for many children, but for merkel and caesar, it is fundamental to the survival. they are all fund chimpanzees in guinea torching,

and the destruction of habits have shrunk, she populations, now thousands have been orphaned, and some species are even facing extinction. the chimpanzee conservation center in guinea is trying to help mako and caesar are leading the way into the bush. they are often to be re chimps rescued from animal traffickers. now they leave at the chimpanzee conservation center. a sanctuary located in the national park of upper major in is central guinea. the country is home to more than 30000 wild western chimpanzees, the largest population in the region. however, the numbers of these great apes with whom we humans share more than 98 percent of our genetic blueprint have declined dramatically in the last 20 years. they now critically endangered. nearby bol cause a restaurant,

so the main causes of chimpanzee extinction. at the destruction of their habitat, due to human activities and poaching, it was see broken, people kill them with no regard for the law that protects them or solder speak. dylan was in guinea. chimpanzees are often poached for their meat or sold as pets. chimps like marco hoping, seized by the authorities, are brought to the center this sanctuary, rehabilitated chimps, and then released them into the wild. around 60 great apes are currently living at the center, which is funded by international organizations and private donors. the teams day gets off to a swinging stat with a breakfast of fruits and ginger tea to combat the cold. a routine health and

psychological checkup pulls since they often arrived, suffering from health problems and trauma. then an excursion into the forest helps the young chimpanzees adapt to the wild. la hoarded bramble w at the forest is important for the chimpanzees. we walk with them through the forest to local, they can get used to it as it is, their habitat brought up here, they can find food and a place to sleep for her brutal mother. but for local and his pals to attend to the forest. they need large open spaces to hang out in. yet human activities like agriculture and logging are destroying the national park. the lawful sufficient healthy habitat mean just 20 chimps could be released since 2008. because there was a chimpanzee conservation center, contribute to species protection through rehabilitation and re introduction at rover. but i thought by educating the local community, you know it because it's

a community that's destroying the environment. and so these people need to be educated and sensitized really, and i get on it don't face all over it. that's very, very important for a project like this. when i say represent what does the approach conspiracy meant? he doesn't have launch different projects to raise environmental awareness within the community. living in a puck among them is a weekly radio show. i mean, if informs listeners about the pac flora and fauna, it's natural resources and how to protect them. you know, do you need occasional program at primary schools inside the park also teaches future generations about the importance of conservation and the threats chimpanzees face. since it's taught in 21900. more than $700.00 students have taken part in this workshops to the point was the program around this program in schools to children wildly. i

truly can grew up with the idea and also positive information on it to others to protect the environment. i'm going to know, month to safe, got the teams, habitat conservation, and education. a crucial but saw is providing alternative sources of income that for more sustainable development. locally, along with the villages and to women's association, the center has created lasting employment opportunities and launched a plastic recycling project which supports more than $300.00 women, which is on the level. and we make so class. and now we also recycle plastic bugs and turned them into laptops. these are little passes. we also saw shopping bugs for the women, so they don't buy plastic bug at the market anymore. practice or market. it's a win win solution. these projects provide locals with a steady income,

raise environmental awareness, and ease the pressure on the ecosystem. and could soon give mark or cesar and a fellow chimps, enough place to go. ape in the wild. preserving habitats is one sink. but what teeth, they've already been destroyed, we ask, can nature still be brought back? no, a hunger for my 2 years has devastated landscapes all over the world in germany, a number of regions and having to cope with the gap in cause left by open peat lick knife mines. no one for my industrial hub and nibbling over some hope that transformation and restoration are indeed possible. the east german village, of course, caution is bustling with summer visitors is just 150 kilometer south of berlin and not far from the polish border. the bikes offered at a cat hoist rental are in high demand, with visitors came to explore the region,

visit side of the saint saint her is finally going for a spin. it's been idle, old i wikker started his business here 20 years ago. back then, no one believed that this region of lucy, shya, or louse, it's as it's known and german could attract any tourists at all. the area was solely associated with a bronco industry. it was a moon landscape like this, the locals thought, echoed jolla was crazy. down the road to get fog was must then sites the noise, utah, people kept asking, what do you do? shows people the whole. so the mood was different. back then, while i was still a lot of the pits from the ivan cast minds, i thought some ball today locals are proud of what's happened here is i'm showing. the vast open pits are gradually being transformed into europe's largest lake

landscape. once complete, the lu zation lake district will cover 350 square kilometers. it's helping louse, it's transformed into a green holiday region, with broad cycling lanes. hotels and landmarks like the rusty nail which serves as a reminder of the regents industrial past. from the top of the tower, visitors can observe another new lake in the making. the former open cast mine is slowly being flooded by ground water. this is showing vast biz, unless we out, it's really something special, their guns. i mean, how many people can show you a common, lightly new landscape? i'll go to from brother. if everything goes as planned, this will be finished by 2025, god willing to leave us. the show has been developed and stabilized over felt there's still some work left to do over there and all that should take another year or 2, the one in its prime,

the coal industry and allows its employed 80000 people. but in the late 19 ninety's, the energy sector in germany was restructured. dozens of unprofitable minds were closed. 90 percent of the work has lost their jobs. one in 5 people left the region . only full open cars mines remain active in laws. it's today, but that days on them but to germany has pledged to phase out coal completely by 2000 said he 8, transforming this mining landscape cost the german state upwards of 250000000 euros last year alone. between 199-220-1610 point 2000000000 euros was spent. lime needs to be added to the lakes to ensure they are not too acidy for wildlife and full swim us. last year, more than 30000 tons were required to balance p h lentils. then there is maintenance and risk assessment work carried out by g. u. engineers like phillips auto,

is this job to ensure that then no land slides. after decades of digging the soil as more loose and can be moved more easily by groundwater if it rises quickly on a cruise, lish, oscar luther, which is huge wave was triggered artificially. so that land areas could be moved in a very effective way. if there's a landslide happening underneath moving further and further back and it's these forces that create the sudden wave on his in at the bottom here we see trees are knocked over like matched egg. there are very powerful forces at work. all of them to provide a good customer. officials only one to these kind of land slides to happen in control circumstances in 2010 this area. so a natural landslide, which is why entries now unauthorized back then several trucks were drowned in the zone. army like wave that drive us only just rescued in time. come and go. no, this work will take generations. we still have to make 30000 hackers of land safe

as part of the basic reconstruction work, we need to develop certain technologies, like non invasive blast induced compaction to strengthen the soil. the transformation from what the landscape once was to what it is now is radical, and there's no blueprint on how to do this work. another vision that has come true is the transformation of louse. it's into a tourist destination. that combines green space is felicia. and in industrial past that visitors wanted to learn about b, it on this old convey a bridge now surrounded by parks of renewable energies or honest guided to a with people who are born here. like a cat hika. he observed the rise and fall of the brown coal industry for himself, and he's still shocked by the devastating impact that the last few mines left and

now's it's. are still having on the land. in gordon, the good norm zia, if myself, the landscape, was being destroyed. thus, i hope that someone will develop better storage capacities for renewables to increase their use as it was this over exploitation not in the future than the mountains between 40 and 45 percent of germany's energy comes from renewables. fossil fuels like brown coal, still play an important role, but the country is now paving the way for life after the cold. gemini, has created a blueprint that could be of use for other countries that still have that path ahead. well, very interesting. vacationing in a former cold peaks. how cool is that? and if it helps the transition from the fossil fuels, then i'm all for it. i agree, sandra, and moving away from 40 field dumpling job, protect the environment. in some cases,

it also saves money, especially when it comes to indoor heat in, in europe during the winter months. just a few 100 kilometers from geminus border in poland. and old ro, house was converted with tonisha results. oh, good. one prefab apartment block among many in poland stands out, but of course it is real car stop here and the people take photos. it is pretty unusual. it was awful to them about it. i'd also recommend trying this to everybody i know, but obviously the buildings residents are quite relaxed about the coming winter. laughable. so people enjoy looking at the generator. it makes electricity and money . but again, about the finance of, of shit. no. is

a small town in southern missouri, a it has one attraction and 19 seventies prefab. at number 12 stones cast street. the balcony sporting solar panels were added on in september. head of the residence association. stickney of krakowski makes his routine rounds. hello good afternoon. nobody did nobody. hello. hello. i just wanted to see if for installation is working properly, but was proven. everything's all right on my end. no scratches it was built in correctly. but right now i'm cold. not velasco. oh, della, come back inside. the facade may be an acquired taste, but in the end, that secondary, the former call seller, has been converted into an office for the 2 visionaries. as the residents called our building managers, hoping the idea for the innovative energy system came from

a simple lack of cash for the upper growth. it was a tragedy hit the exile, the power company put us under financial pressure. believe me, i did asked him to let his pay installments so she never thought they just laughed at me. sh. no one will. you don't have any money. send you much of that. give me the impetus, go up in the me to blame you, brother in spirit, outside of that, that was back in 2014. soon, a thermal heat pump was installed in the cellar and a solar power system on the roof. all financed by loans from the va, void, ship, and contributions from the residence. they succeeded in saving around 80 percent of the energy cost. they used the money, they saved the pay off the loans and even finance new projects, such as the balconies. now the heat, the water, the residents of number 12 sloan, sca street are as good as immune to rising energy prices. well, everyone else is turning the heat down. they're staying toasty warm. whereas love

ya. that recently i was talking to my neighbor. she asked me, well, have you received the increases or well, i also have one increases as well. the utilities increases. i said, no, we haven't been getting those for quite some time now. what verdict is stanny suave a keeps her home at a comfortable 22 degrees celsius, but she could keep it warmer leone. did my son tells me? oh, it's always nice and warm. seeing even in summer, the days turned a little cooler now. and then you can just send the heat on. i've already suggested that we trade places, and i think he'd actually do it. big me, evan as deputy, may be so involved because they live here in the building. and what started out as a financial motivation has since taken on aspects of climate and environmental consciousness. their building saves nearly 70 tons of c o 2 more than their neighbors. so go to corporate frazier. if we did this to other apartment blocks

under our $25000.00 and all of poland to perform well, then imagine how much we would save this by g. shippy. insuperable food, some of 40000 people die every year from the smog. i'd still be alive is that of a smoke. libby. spinney of krakowski is hoping his fellow towns people will wake up and feel the heat. he's even thinking about running for mayor and the next elections converting, rethinking brick in old habits. these things though, also happening here in nigeria, driving a car or taking a bus to work doesn't make sense in lagos, the city is struggling with traffic jams, which pollutes the air and thrive residence, patience. but it doesn't have to be that way. check out this week's doing your bits. ah,

nobody here is going anywhere fast. it's rush hour in lagos. nigeria is largest city. these vehicles are clocking just 17 kilometers an hour on average. oh, the wallet, bon tammy. true. used to be a fisher, but in 1982 he became a boat builder. he makes both cargo and passenger vessels. businesses steady and demand is growing. rather, the rug would be the reason why so many people are buying boats these days. so is that water transport as faster than road transports all? because i mean by his biggest boats can hold up to 40 passengers a trip that takes 3 hours in bumper to bumper traffic takes just one on the water. so can i fix it? why going to walk? i'll why colon buck also. so i'm w street. and if more of the 5000000 car owners and legos switch from road to boat

travel, it would benefit the environment with at the moment, we are trying to reduce our insurance, which is coming well for worker's leticia. if we're really makes use of what that transportation is going to reduce our mission, going by boat costs a bit more than covering the same stretch by bus. but time is money. congestion in lagos is so bad, travelling over water can save you 30 hours a week. and tell about you. if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it. this is how websites both send us the tweets hash tag doing your best. we shall, you'll still res. our next report is also about

reducing emissions. when anti villages are not yet connected to the par, great residents often have to rely on diesel generators and toxic kerosene lamps. that is very right, crease around 45 percent of the rural areas in ghana and not connected to the national park leads. the residents in the north of the country have come up with their own environmentally friendly solution. reading and learning at night is finally possible in the village of delingo and the upper west region of gonna the line from the solar lamp extends to dana to evening for these boys. people here say so the lamps on the way of the future until now. so regina honey lucy at to rely on garrison or hyphen or lamps, lighting, which is decidedly weaker and old style lamps of other disadvantages to the kerosene lamp produces, smell like not to cause

a in using the smoke mix us. i. solar lumps are better. i got those ma'am stuffer, the man who supplies a solar lamps. we found that the n g o to socialize world wants to replace fossil fuel lamp in the villages with solar ones. it's all financed by donations from students from new york, develop the technology and lucifer. and as for campaigners and gonna supply the housing, he assembled most of the lamps himself using simple means a discarded cream, jaw, or handle may from bicycle, spoke about for wasting, completely changed. and it gives light about 200 r weiss. if it is light lew and use 40 hours if it is on the high. ready it has to be revamped, if it's being used in a countryside, the lamps are built to be maintenance free. have a long life. the people in the community, this light and a unit,

sometimes more than a week before the go to charge. but we normally insist that this luncheon is charge wise route, so that the battery life will be maintain the energy for the villages land cars from this roof. a solar panel feeds the 12, so the net volunteer. so one run comfort has been trained to run the system. 12 lamps can be recharged simultaneously, but enough electricity left a charge of fuel cell phones i t killed as soon as the them and the luncheons in this community. when someone wants to recharge, they bring it to to do a little. it goes villages around half a dollar a month to johnston, so lamps and cell phones as them tears in lamps. even those were short of money

benefit from the news technology drove. it also helps to protect the environment. again, we take any pru just like me. so yeah, being so gum or even chuckle, because not everyone in the village has ready cash for renewable energy from the sun, wind and geothermal energy make up just one percent of gone as electricity. but the west african country wants to achieve 10 percent fossil free energy production by 2030 according to so hard to him about it. one of gunner's lead in experts on renewable energy is going to require a major effort, especially in rural areas. he advocates focusing on simple solutions and most of the intervals for us and why sophisticated like both areas. so we did 12 voice system wanting to $24.00. we can meet, designate like lighting in for, into team and, and then for just the quality of service in washington,

it's a stable to me in europe when the battery, the especially when charged electricity is useful. simple pleasures watching the film, naps, and highlights with our system that also charged consumers cinema. we have a project that we add to the system, but depending on the communities request, we, i did and we can show him moving the night we got into the can use the facility also in the tim themselves of the solar lamps are most important, more than 50 villages have been equipped to own solar systems, which now supply a total of 2000 households. a shining example in more ways than one. and then breaks show to a close. i hope you enjoyed it and, but we'll see you again next week till then. take care. i am chris alone from oregon state, signing off time for me to say good bye as well,

but be sure to check us out on all our social media platforms. so we can stay in touch that so for now i am sandra tree. nobody bought by ah ah, with ah, ah, with

who was making the headlines and what's behind them. dw news africa. the show that the issues have been the continent. life is slowly getting back to normally on the street to give you enough reports on the inside. our correspondence is on the

reporting from across the continent. all the trends doesn't matter to you. in 90 minutes on d w. oh. hello guys. this is the 77 percent the platform for africa. you to repeat issues and share ideas you know, or this channel. we are not afraid to happen delicate the topic because population is growing and young people clearly have the solutions. the future belongs to the 77 percent every weekend on

d w. ah, india, a lot of contrasts of ambitions of equality 75 years ago, mahatma gandhi peacefully led the country to independence provide you with what is remains of his vision, think what's the status of human rights and social justice in what's called the world's largest democracy with with is the moment unleash on mileage boss. and re imagine that he's teaching or elements to

oh, nice legacy. starts january 28th on b, w ah ah ah, the c w is leih from berlin brush. as defense, ministry says it's forces have taken control of solar dar ukraine, denies the claim and says its troops are still there. the eastern ukrainian town could be strategically important for russia in the don bass region. also coming an explosion hits a key.
