chris. it is true that they are 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 sondra twin over here in camp la gender. on here is a preview of what's in store, passenger boards in legacy help residents circumvent traffic jams. pulpits in germany are transformed into natural or says and solar part is changing rule life in norman god. going to school every single morning is routine for many children, but for merkel and caesar, it is fundamental to via survival. they are all fund chimpanzees in guinea torching, and the destruction of habits have shrunk, ship 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 is actually located in the national park of upper major in east 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 for genetic blueprint have declined dramatically in the last 20 years. they now critically endangered. nearby, bol cause wrestling, so the main causes of chimpanzee extinction at the destruction of their habitat, due to human activities and poaching secrecy. broken people kill them with

no regard for the law that protects them or solder spec. dylan or 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. rehabilitate 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. c the to 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 grimwood rambler. the forest is important for the chimpanzees. we walk with them through the forest to little 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, or destroying the national park, but also sufficient healthy habitat mean just 20 james could be released since 2008 sub because of us on the chimpanzee conservation center contributes to species protection through rehabilitation and re introduction. after over, but also by educating the local community. you know it because it's the community that's destroying the environment. so these people need to be educated and sensitized really, and i get on it, don't fish all over it. that's very,

very important for a project like this one as a represent puerto does that project. com. so lucy doesn't have launch different projects. raised environmental awareness within the communities, leaving in the park. 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're do need occasional program at primary schools inside the park also teaches future generations about the importance of conservation and the threat chimpanzees faith since it's taught in 2019 more than $700.00 students have taken part in this walk. so the point was, is the program around this program in schools to teach children while the young, if you truly can, grew up with the idea and also positive information on to others to protect the environment. no 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 associations. the center has created lasting employment opportunities and launched a plastic recycling project which supports more than $300.00 women, which is on this level. we make so class and now we also recycle plastic bags and turned them into laptops. these are little passes. we also saw shopping bugs, the women that 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 res, environmental awareness, and ease the pressure on the ecosystem. and could soon give mark or cesar and a fellow chief's enough place to go. ape in the wild preserving

habitants is one sink. but what teeth they have already been destroyed. we ask, can nature still be brought back? not 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 gulping horse left by open pete lick night 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 puzzling with some of visitors. it's just 150 kilometers south of berlin and not far from the polish border. the bikes offered at a car, toy cars rental are in high demand, with visitors came to explore the region as excited to think cedar 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 lucio or allows it's, as it's known and german could attract any tourist at all. the area was solely associated with a bronco industry. it was a mood landscape like this. the locals thought echoed jolla was crazy. down below your father was most modern sikes, the lawyer, the router people kept asking, what do you do showed people the whole. so the mood was different. back in the wall, i was still a lot of the pips from the open charged minds, which i thought some ball. today locals are proud of what's happened here is i'm sure 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 now's, 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 passed from the top of a tower. visitors can observe another new lake in the making the forma open cast. mine is slowly being flooded by ground water. this is shown vast biz, unless we had, it's really something special there. guns, i mean my, how many people can show you how come and likely new landscape hog what's of if everything goes as planned, this will be finished by 2025, god willing to leave us. the show has been developed and stabilized over fall. there's still some work left to do over there and all that should take another year or 2. you're the one in its prime, the coal industry and allows its employed 80000 people. but in the late 19 nineties, the energy sector in germany was restructured. dozens of unprofitable mines 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 unknown, but to germany has pledged to phase out coal completely by 2000 said he 8, transforming this mining landscape caused 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 swimmers. last year, more than 30000 tons were required to balance p h levels. then there is maintenance and risk assessment work carried out by g. engineers like phillips auto, is his job to ensure that there are no land slides. after decades of digging, the soil is 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 them up and it's these forces the create the sudden wave. because in the, at the bottom here we see trees are knocked over light match decks. there are very powerful forces that work of ism goodbye to go curved on mirror 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 zoo. nami, like wave that drive us only just rescued in time. come and go. now 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 an industrial past that visitors want to learn about be 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 a 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 uses. was this over exploitation not in the future than the smoking? this 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 coal 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 falsely feel dazzling deals protect the environment. in some cases, it also saves money, especially when it comes to indoor heating in europe during the winter months. just

a few 100 kilometers from gem, his border in poland. an old ro house was converted with astonishing results. ah, good one prefab apartment block among many in poland stands out at other procedures. we have 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 that refers to buildings. residents are quite relaxed about the coming winter, a little bit for books. i enjoy looking at the generator. it makes electricity and money from the get up of finances. shit. no. is a small town in southern missouri i it has one attraction, a 19 seventies prefab at number 12 sloan sketch street. the balconies sporting

solar panels were added on in september head of the residence association. stickney of krakowski makes his routine rounds. hello, good afternoon. nobody's here. nobody. hello, hello. i just was at a see a for installation is working properly. i think that was given. everything's all right on my end, no scratches it was built in correctly. but right now i'm cold. northville up of all right, ellen, go back inside. okay. the facade may be an acquired taste. but in the end, that secondary, the former coal seller has been converted into an office for the 2 visionaries. as the residents called our building managers, folks with the idea for the innovative energy system came from a simple lack of cash for the gap program. it was a tragedy hip exile the power company put us under financial pressure. believe me, i did asked him to let us pay installment,

so she never thought they just laughed at me. sh. no one will. you don't have any money. so much of that give me the impetus that will be in the name of the glen me, brother. he spewed out together 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. while everyone else is turning the heat down, they're staying toasty warm, whereas love ya did recently, i was talking to my neighbor. she asked me, well, have you received the increases or when i asked her, what increases? well, the utilities increases. i stuck. no,

we haven't been getting those for quite some time now with the victim stanny suave a, keeps her home at a comfortable 22 degrees celsius. but she could keep it warmer. leo of my son tells me, oh it's always nice and warm. seeing even in summer, if the day's 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 cooper, frazier. if we did it is to other apartment blocks under our $25000.00 and all of poland. couple than imagine how much we would save money. shippy, defensive. so $40000.00 people die every year from the smog. i'd still be alive is

ahead of us smoke. libby stickney of krakowski is hoping as 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 try residents, 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 timmy? 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 transport? 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 take a while going to walk? i'll welcome buck also. so i looked at mystery and if more of the 5000000 car owners and legos switch from road to boat travel, it would benefit the environment. ah, 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 and legos 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 l websites both send us the tweets hash tag doing jo banks we shall, you'll still raise 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 light from the solar lamp extends to dana. good evening for these boys. people here say so the lamps are the way of the future until now. so regina honey lucy at to rely on kerosene or hyphen oil lamps, the light of 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 mixers or solar lamps are better or not those ma'am stuffer. the man who supplies a solar lamps will be found at the end. geo socialize 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 his fellow campaigners and garner supplies housing. he assembled most of the lamps himself using simple means a discarded cream, jaw, or handle, made 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, a bill to be maintenance free, have a long life. the people in the community this light in the unit, sometimes more than a week. before do you go to judge why we normally insist that this linton is charge wise en route, so that the battery life will be maintained?

the energy for the villages lamp comes from this roof. a solar panel feeds the 12 solon that volunteer to wander. a comfort has been trying to run the system. 12 lamps can be recharged simultaneously, but enough electricity left a charge, a fuel cell phones i t killed the solar system and the luncheons in this community. when someone wants to recharge, they bring it to to do it. when i would, i'm ready to. it comes 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 new technology to roll. it also helps to protect the environment and we take any pru just like me. so yeah, being so gum or even charcoal, because not everyone in the village has ready cash from whatever 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, most of the intervals for this and why sophisticated like both in the areas. so we did 12 voice system or 2024 with the same kind of music music and 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 batteries are especially when charged electricity is useful, simple pleasures watching the film,

naps of the highlights with our system that also charged consumer cinema. we have a project that we add to the system, but depending on the communities request, we, i did and we can show it moving the night we got into the can use the facility to so instead, tim themselves, well, the solar lamps are most important, more than 30 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 our 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 ogen 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, ah, with ah, ah, with

decades hemp was steve and i was driving by. now the miracle plant has latest comeback, construction, fashion medicine, many industries could become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. with global 3000 a. d, w. because indian, it's clean, flexible,

and the most affordable renewable energy on the market. solar power, with an average of $300.00 sunny days each year. india has tremendous solar potential is working, but it's for the food by everybody. what is the potential that we have? how in our hands? but as usual, there were both pros and cons. eco, india. in 90 minutes on d w a . hey guys, it's evelyn share. my welcome to my podcast to love matters that i and life celebrities influences and experts to talk about all playing loud effect from day to and get today. nothing less because all these things and more in the new season of the pot come make sure it's

a tune and wherever you get your path and join the conversation because you know it love matters. ah, imagine how many push it out in the world right now. the climate change, the very hot story. this is my place, the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm going all with what 5th? his subscriber for morning was like ah, ah

ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. germany's defense minister stepped down. christina lambert, i offers her resignation to chance, are all of shoulds following a series of missteps. most recently and new year's video message widely criticized for being tone death. also coming up, hopes of finding more survivors are fading into neat bro. after a russian cruise missile destroyed a residential building in the central ukrainian city.
