in tech, as our documentary series founders valley is africa. to meet the founders and pony they're continent through digital innovation transformer, work at home and living conditions in their country and inspiring world with their ideas. only valley africa started february 13, bought the w. ah ah, welcome to level 3000 ocean romeus. a small community in costa rica is working to protect sea turtles saving the past.

malaysia's construction boom is causing strife between heritage protection activists and mining interests and a right to clean at people living in south africa's coal bouts, wanton end to pollution. the global energy crisis has given. does he cold plants, a new lease of life, at least for the moment, but energy security concerns and driving the world wide expansion of wind farms and solar parks to the international energy agency i. e. a expects that by 2027 global renewable power capacity will rise world wide by 2400 gigawatts. that's roughly how much power china generated in total in 2022. in particular, china and the u. s. want to invest heavily in wind and solar energy partners for climate protection. re,

since in the u. s. have recently passed law earmarked almost $370000000000.00 for climate and energy security measures. the e u and other countries are also came to invest in renewable energy. so says the i e. a forecasts that by 2025 renewables would have become the largest source of global electricity generation ahead of coal. but there's some way to go. there is still more than 2400 coal fired power plants in operation worldwide with new ones being built. that's a huge burden of both for the climate and those living nearby. south africa's economy is powered by coal, but critics say this comes out of massive cost. defense is dead. air pollution is a killer and the fault government needs to and then we need to gently. my hat is bleeding for the people who are living in this area and they are getting poor every

day. 80 percent of the countries energy is produced by 12 coal fired power stations. in the south african cold belt. in 2019, greenpeace declared the area to be one of the most polluted on earth. ever dcsf 5 i u. car suffering every day we can't breathe. would you even ask yourself whether you're going to wake up alive? he la la. la giovanni cousin. you lie awake the whole night without sleeping light because you can't breathe because so full of coolness, pitiful to medical, went on doctor and glove was practiced in name. aline is right in the call the who's akes. if me do do zealot what mercy is grieving heavily while she's been having problems for years, the condition has worse and, and she's concerned with as look of blasting, does a lot of mine's her around the age pollute said what is polluted?

so obviously you gonna have notify spin, a toyota is quite often we get bronchitis. we do get chronic sinusitis. we do can't asthma because of the environment is why the mother of 4 has sent 3 of her children to other parts of the country because their health was poor. now she fears for herself. she works in building and road maintenance. i d, can i use that? there's no way i can do work like that crazy. i have to have to sit down and take a break on the time. but a mental justice group is celebrating, hey, thanks for the photo in jacqueline, in the quote unquote dirty a case. the high going in 2022. the constitutional court ordered the government to enforce rules for polluters to meet minimum equality standards, but judgment was celebrated as a landmark case. better, it will only become a reality of less. coal is burnt,

but the industry employs almost a $100000.00 people, weaning itself off. coal will have dramatic consequences. promised masula, however, believes that a transition to green energy is vital. she runs will carnie, a local environmental, n g o, the land. it's a math. the what terry was that to youth, to rely on and it's a mess we, we studied by raising on his end, he hearing from communities opinions on how do they want to see the future without cold vio, county is based on the outskirts of him. aline, the angio installed a solar system on its own roof to show that power production can be taken into the hands of the community. solar can be an opportunity for local job creation and healthier environments according to vio county. well, that's a vision that beulah propagates with the communities use hudson pacific. lemme

changes because for us we are speaking of community 3 that we want an image that will be a community lead, where it will give space, especially for the young people to create a to manufacture for themselves, to make sure they put their desolate p, v in the community rooftops, we have our own station in the in, but can solar really replace power plants and how can communities finance their own green power. ready thomas, some new new deals with these questions. he works for groundwork, an organization that advocates for a just energy transition with new and better jobs, social justice, and poverty eradication. for money, the cost of renewables cannot be compared to coals, irreplaceable human loss. a 2017 study commissioned by groundwork was an eye

opener that his eyes indicated that about 2000 plans have been plentiful at dying unwisely because of evolution. a more than 10000 people are hospitalized because of this, but i thought a problems. i think um we part of all confusion price in a perfect balance between a development and, and that i to help. so it's not an either or situation. we can develop the economy at the same time, taking care of people's health for quantity, the transition cannot come quick enough. after picking up her daughter from kindergarten, she returns home. her electricity has gone. rolling outages are affecting the neighborhood up to 3 times a day. a bitter irony that those suffering from the pollution of the ones being cut from power. guanasha and a daughter of gotten used to the dark. but there is always an uneasy feeling. good,

doggie, in our will, shall shalon too. i'm always afraid when my daughter was so could she made when the attack comes, you have to run to the clinic clinic corner. last what partake and the other day she was so sick we had to go to the hospital. what was the wood c as in my hand and praying to get on to help her and get the television which when i was with after spending 5 days in hospital, her daughter got better again. it's high time that the impact of air pollution on people's lives. is recognized $92060.00, more than 70 percent of the world's population will likely live in cities or urban areas. that will also be around 10000000000 people living on us. that's 2000000000 mold and to day to accommodate this. many people, millions of houses and apartments will have to be belts and of course,

demand for energy and all the supplies will also increase. according to o, e. c, d estimates by 2016 global material consumption will reach around a 167 gig tons. so about twice the current amount. that's the equivalent of more than $27800.00 pyramids of keesa sand. gravel and limestone are in particularly high demand with dramatic consequences. the descent into the cave, into the darkness. for our tut, it's also an expedition into another world. and every time it's an adventure to an adventure that leads back into the far distant past, iowa, iowa. oh, by the title to the people who lived, he had 10000 years ago who i thought for you so much we discovered this cave via the internet when it oh we called the guar audio water cave. on it. we were curious

. oh, we've explored the cave and we think it's really beautiful while we're who like, unfortunately, it's right by one of the quarries nearby limestone and marble of being excavated on an industrial scale. the mining has been going on for years now. a total of $64.00 company is a busy blasting away. the limestone hills across the kinda valley 9 is important for cement and cement is a highly sought after building material in asia and world wide construction is a multi 1000000000 euro business. nature pays the price on tut, has decided to make it his job to preserve his home the quinta valley for as long as possible. his activists group is called kinda valley watch. together they

explore the caves within the mountains and hills which are disappearing at an ever faster rate. our tax home, the kin to valley is located on the malay peninsula and the state of parrot. 10 deposits were found here long ago. but limestone, granite and marble can be excavated much more easily, although i want to understand what's happening here. i want to find out what's special about these hills. in recent years, we've neglected them and all they contain. what if i believe that's why our touch is now exploring the caves under the hills. to day he's showing an archaeologist, an important discovery. there are also pre historic paintings on the limestone hills. you'll see that in the some images are more than 10000 years old. they are unrivalled in malaysia, in terms of the nuanced picture they paint of everyday life. have requiring

a curse at a site that we have never investigated before. there is a possibility that a raw are site was there and then destroyed because from what we observe so far, not are, is distribute that very widely reading can tell value tools will work. so to high is a researcher at u. s. m. in penang, she knows that hunters and gatherers settled early here, latest switching to farming, and it's trading links to china. go back to the 2nd century, a d as k fines show. all these on your survey, we discovered more than 30 rock sites. so this is a very big leap in the archaeological research for home home malaysia in the past for like 660 years where we were just though, so lead based on academics and researchers. only 3 sites were found in kinda valley . so because of their involvement, we got more than 30 sites now and then we have a lot more to discover. but the mining companies pay little attention to the archaeological discoveries. there are 59 official excavation sites here and

everyone blasting here has a state license to do so. hills and caves where cave paintings and fossils were found are being destroyed. but none of the companies nor the economics ministry are willing to be interviewed on the issue at the ministry of tourism, arts and culture. they draw our attention to the legal position. the deputy director is well acquainted with the regulations and is well aware that the company's profits are more important to the government about that, but that we cannot stop the project approved by the state. it wont, little above when the areas aren't expressly declared protected areas. the law dictates that we cannot stop the mining blending ample joke was out, does it that we have no legal recourse or we can do is to approach the mining companies and ask for talks the what bottoming. but these consultations

are unlikely to stop the blasting in the can to valley are tapped, is taking the archeologist into one of the valleys biggest caves that it does affect the home in he recently discovered a lot of cave paintings here, though he's not sure how old they are good and how long they sammy, how the us in the caves is an invaluable piece of human history. i want to come with you all there is another rock are, is not that only pretty story or are there are value there has value because even he started up here are, is actually an evidence of the human past humane direction of the landscape. so there's a multi layer, meaning that embedded within the site escape from prehistoric o, period to historical period. so all this, i think are significant to me, at least because it shows how human evolved through time. back up on the clay. i

touch helps the archaeologist document the engravings and paintings afterwards. so true, hey, we'll compare the images with others. the 2 of them are worried that this cave to will disappear one day. they want to document as much as possible of the valleys, cultural heritage. before that happens, i don't think i heard you need, you know, we knew from the outset that we couldn't win, but we're doing it any way. and i'm not alone. i have a lot of support. i'm happy linkers. this work is an honor because this is where i'm from. talk a young data guy up they all still many caves to explore in can to valley for our touch. it's a race against time. feel of these invaluable fines are likely to be saved from destruction. ah sea turtles can be found in tropical and sub tropical seas around the world. as my great re, creatures,

they often swim thousands of kilometers in their life time. many species are endangered by marine pollution fishing and poaching. according to one study between 990-2020 more than 1100000 animals were killed or illegally traded worldwide. but things are looking up turtle protection efforts around the rise efforts like those. the people have talked to gatto on the costa rican coast have been doing for years. this is probably the most dangerous moment in the life of a sea turtle. after 60 days, the hatchlings dig themselves out of the sand and make their way to the water. this one hatched on the beach of costa rica store to wear on national park. it's one of the animals most important nesting sites on the caribbean coastline of central america.

ploy taylor lives in tor to guido when the turtles have the patrols the beach to protect them, things used to be very different from the lead on when well yeah. so it was an isolated place for survival, didn't revolve around money like it does today with tourism. and so we have mr. kill the turtles. we atheism, away the meat like we ate. the fin was the turtles have already traveled up to 2000 kilometers by the time they arrive at the beach to lay their eggs in the tortured guerrero, national park for different species of sea turtles lay their eggs on tor to wear or beach including hawks bill and leatherback turtles gloria aguiro is a biologist with

a tor to wear of sea turtle conservancy. she's concerned because climate change is making the sand warmer and the higher the temperature, the fewer males are born. this poses yet another danger to the turtles survival. they mean don't, don't get that. can nothing out of a 1000 baby turtles. only one comes back to lay eggs on the beach. elijah, the turtles follow the light of the moon to find their way on to the beach. to lay their eggs. they only come out of the sea at night. a single female lays up to $120.00 eggs per clutch. spinning hours digging a hole in the sand, and asked him that can take until morning. after laying her eggs, she covers them with sand to protect them from predators. she may lay up to $1000.00 eggs per nesting season, buried in various locations. in the 1st light of morning,

the turtles attempt the journey back to see. many don't make it granado, bruno, a biologist based, and tore to wearer has found the remains of a turtle. it was killed and butchered from me as, as the doors can, even in the turtles, that nest in costa rica migrate to their feeling grounds on the caribbean. coast of nicaragua, e and across the cal, you any kind sea turtles are also a legally hunted on the coast there in a gal that are to as much as they kill up to $15000.00 turtles of year, a sport i knew but it's not just the animals themselves that are at risk from poaching during the night and early morning. poachers are on the prowl for clutches of eggs. scientists keep finding nests that have been looted. yes. is healthy for if he doesn't allow in dallas. this is the situation we face

every night. equally will say, my dear, although we monitor most of the beach, there's not enough staff to prevent this kind of thing completely cannot unite, stop wherever we are patrolling. they just read national somewhere else was when i end up now. yeah. he's like, yeah, they poked the sandwich sticks to feel for resistance. that's when they know the stickers hit some eggs at the bottom of a nest here. if you don't, they followed her need a cellphone or a camera. well, once they find the eggs, it took them up, it was, i kind of will. the turtle eggs are usually eaten ra there. believe to be an aphrodisiac. although there's no scientific evidence, turtle eggs and turtle meat have always been an important source of nutrition and torture. weirdo explains cloyd taylor matter left up to let the person who used to slaughter the turtles came at 5 am layla member at the local money avenue angle nap and then community members came well bulls and passed away and asked him for cylinder. turtle may take 80 under at the book it's been forbidden to eat the

turtles or their eggs for more than 20 years. today the islanders live mainly from tourism even so for the past 10 years, the number of c turtles returning to tort to where o has been in decline. biologist kayla cordero is sounding the alarm in 2008 scientists counted 809000 turtles. nesting on the island in 2021, there were only $44000.00, a decline of more than half for him both owners and there are important hunting areas in los gatos mosquitoes in the caribbean areas of columbia and venezuela, where between $812000.00 turtles are hunted each year on the nicaraguan side. in some areas, eating turtle, meat is part of indigenous culture. hunting is still allowed, their tourists are only allowed on the beach. if they're accompanied by

a local guide, they all have to wear dark clothing, so they don't disturb the turtles. with it, we accompany the park rangers during their nightly inspection. the number of tourists per group is limited. there's a fine if the rules are ignored, that you can see at them, but as another t. 12 members of the community who are skilled trackers have been trained to look for the turtles on the beach. they inform the tourist guides where and when the females are laying their eggs so they can bring their tourist groups there . but 1st, every one has to have a ticket. hill. if i thought up they get an invoice that side to permit and informs the taurus of the sector, the schedule, and the number of people in the group. local tourism is well organized, but monitoring the area is challenging a up in a standpoint,

cancer in taught to ghetto national park but of 18 people are responsible for more than 50000. hector's of marine area is there more than $26000.00 hector's of land and like 30 kilometers of beach front. it's on the 13th. it's just not enough. but i thought that at the panica the sea turtle protection effort still have a long way to go. but talk to where approve the turtle hunters can become turtle. conservationists to the benefit of both nature and people. this week's global snacking comes from venezuela. ah, ah, just have in his way, anna is a busy meeting place in central caracas. it's a popular spot for street food vendors. knuckles, coal, this, mikaya del andre. this treat of the hungry ah.

they are still selling all types of fast food. one typical venezuelan snack is the catch other, a pancake made from fresh corn. ah. cook, i'm semerano says the recipe as simple as him, but into my lesson cutting than the batter is grilled until it's crispy on the outside then flip the fillings are prepared on another hot plate. ah, customers can choose between several types of meat. ah, like i said, well our car, chapa's fillings include half a kilo of pork with 300 grams of chicken, bacon and ham. others nearby them. but the main ingredient is soft and gooey

till he touches half a quino of tease a served with each catch up a. it's what keeps the customers coming back. ah, i like the mix of the sweet and salty such as pork and the cheese, with kappa costs between $8.18 us dollars depending on the fillings. most customers can't finish a whole one. with i'm stuffing my face with more than i can cope with. they're incredibly huge. you should have had 2 people with one because they're so big they're successful. business is a family affair. as the chefs, cousin alma produce explains, ah, with how you get out there. like i said, we are developing thanks to the catch up house and my father's creation. we already have 3 catch up a locations and people really like it. i saw no money yet. i had that it was, i'm with in his layman's, often enjoy
