tennis tennis has ah, she survived outfits. thanks to music. he was the nazis favorite conductor. he is morally degenerate to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power, inspiring story about survival at home and go get the tennis. i was the only one what might look music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube, d. w documentary. ah, ah, i hello and welcome to a new edition of echo africa. water is a key resource without clean frickin water,
8:31 am
which cannot survive. that's all of the topics coming up on the show. my name is chris phillips. and hello for me from uganda. my name is sandra 3, no video. and i'm pleased to be with you for the next 26 minutes for luther with us because all have amazing stories just for you. how under water i help with marine protection in cynical white tourism in finland is getting more sustainable and how it bikes, reducing traffic congestion gun that starting the shore in my neighboring country kenya is suffering from the was to drop in over 40 years. now form us of reporters on the ball horse have dried up when others have requested the government to provide them with water instead of subsidized fat laser. now we do ask how of
8:32 am
formulas cor pink and what has been done to support them. let's take a look. i do appreciate the scale of the drought in kenya. you only have to look at lake abala sat, which has shrunk like never before. almost 90 percent of it has dried up climate scientists sworn that the situation could get even worse. most climate models, predictor that extreme where the events such as drugs are likely to become more frequent and more severe, ah, lesser that is mainly owing to, due to the global warming and climate change. these images from june 2019 show the lake a few weeks after the rainy season. an important habitat for animals like the
8:33 am
crowned crane and the hippo. the drought is a problem to, for people who live in the area. many farmers fear for their livelihood. the persistent heat wave, a scene fields across the country set a blaze. it's actually very, very, very bad. we have not had leads her fall most her several years. we have had said it all in crop filiette ah glance. i really not doing well. so we are really waiting for the readings, locals are desperate, extra prayers are offered, asking god to bless kenya with rain. the president and his wife are among the supplicants. we have prayed, and we can see the clouds of form. and we know that the rains are kind of lake
8:34 am
abala such years, long decline is a home made problem. local conservation groups say a lot of soil has been carried into the lake following deforestation. and construction work on top of that, people often draw ground water from the area. maggie megan as waiting, and i thought that part of the water in this lake comes from the hills behind me. i guess i'm not. i'm buying a particular chimney. hills have a lot of underground water covina. norman's roughly, there is no control or procedure that people vary should follow to get their water . we get him couldn't, but a much of it, it's vital that farmers use water in a more sustainable way. that's one of the goals of the nairobi, water fund, gutters and basins mean that water can be collected during the rainy season and then used to irrigate fields. when you have that or the water which come from
8:35 am
little pop or maybe from there, one of our cost of the water pumps. that is one of the technologies also assure the pharmacy how of parents of the routes, especially the ones which are sloppy and ensure that those classes are, are stabilized with nifty glasses if they get us so that they can be able to capture all the water, which arrows, the soil into that he was the fund is already working with a network of nearly 16000 farmers. there harvesting enough water to irrigate almost 2000 acres of horticultural crops over a 3 month period. david comma is among the farmers benefiting from the project. the new methods mean he has enough water to irrigate his crops even in times of drought, like no for the can i robi water project, provided me with a water pan animal. my mac, you might as well go my that the body and i can irrigate by using gravity to come to the water and use a sprinkler sprinkler, his farm board as a river, but come,
8:36 am
oh, uses a water pan, a small reservoir to irrigate his fields and save valuable water. climate researchers say that sustainable farming techniques like these can help ease pressure on farmers. even as we are going through a possible failed rainy season, we are not likely to miss out on rainfall, especially in the month of april and may for the coastal region. so are we advice or water conservation missiles including what harvesting? and what and sustainable use of, what are the threat to the lake will only worsen if human activities don't change. but more sustainable water usage could help prevent it from drying up.
8:37 am
we are staying with a topic of water, but heading now to the cost of cynical the younger generation has a vested interest in environmental protection. it's obviously in the interest to look after the planet not far from docker. students are caring about ocean pollution by rusty loss. and the associated hardships with the help of high tech here ease basics, dellinger bit ha, now synagogue coast is more than 700 kilometers long. here about 600000 people, only living from catching fish. but a lot of marine lives here is under threat from over fishing to improve conservation. researchers need to find out more about the fish stocks. a new project at the deck, har american university of science and technology aims to help. we come up with
8:38 am
a team that would use underwater drugs. these are drugs i would go under water us, unlike area drugs. and they were equipped with cameras to be able to record things underneath the water. so we would take videos of fish that were in the and in the lagoon as well as in the seat as well as the floor. what are the different speeches are on the ground under the water students, he developed the underwater drugs, an innovation that has made many tasks, much simpler, maritime conservationists used to have to catch the creatures 1st to study them. but the technology performs this job now. and then once we get this data, we would come out and then we would use there was algorithm or software that allows us to classify the different fish that were there without having to thursday, without having to take them out of the water at the same on nature reserve students
8:39 am
conduct regular tests with the drones. they want to use the data to help protect endangered species in a more targeted way. oh, and how about you? if you're also doing your best, tell us about it, visit our website center. so tweak with pastor doing your bit we share your stories and made if the packets might be handy, but they quickly land in the garbage bin and they don't roll in our web special. we chart the journey of such a fair shake from the origins of the raw materials that made from, to its end on the rubbish heap. we find out why the number of shades is growing and why that's so lucrative for businesses and those disastrous for our planet. find out more at d, w dot com slash plastic. in order to live green,
8:40 am
we're going to keep a environment clean. could that be the key to happiness? well, according to the un sponsored wild happiness report, finland, ease of the happiest country, and it also cause high on rankings for sustainable development. wal, i'd love to know more about how this all ties together. so let's get inspired with a troop to these novel european winter wonderland. to find out how soft an ability can be incorporated into the tourism sector. need to work with nature not against in. that's something to learn from a young age here in finland far north. miss lodge located not far from revenue. amy has belonged to his family for over 40 years. it was once they're much left holiday cottage. now they rented out the tourists who are looking for an authentic and
8:41 am
sustainable land experience. in 1st of all, we are using sustainable electricity. we can decide what kind of energy we are using in freeland. now we're in orlando, it's coming from the wind antenna. all you can see here, x rays, i got all kinds of materials samples. everything has been doing about sustainability and all activities we are offering. there is no more rush there to our guests can go. she animal footprints, snow showing ice fishing. i swimming spectacular natural phenomena like the northern lights at the arctic circle, as well as virtually untouched, sparsely populated landscapes draw visitors from around the world to let land. the
8:42 am
regions tourism industry registers up to $3000000.00 over night stays per year and knows that this hinges on keeping its beautiful environment intact. hearing philanthropic as a fit for the tourism is really their nature as well as they our lifestyle that is very strongly rooted in the peer and piecemeal a prestige environment. so that there isn't businesses are really interested in sustainability because they want to secure that long term business for themselves. ah, some go above and beyond like tool or upper right. a beyond arctic, during the high season in winter, they offer excursions to see the northern lights. but in the long days of summer, they plant new trees. sustainable tourism is growing in importance. globally, it had a volume of around a 180000000000 euros in 2019, according to the world tourism organization. and research is expect that to double
8:43 am
by 2027. but even if tourist destinations themselves operate sustainably, the question remains how to visit his get there without harming the environment there with him that actually have even positive impact to environment. for example of you have gay say, is that very tourism has managed to protect the environment by, by making it a national park for instance. but you are very right about that, that it's the aviation and it transport in general that really like god, puts it off from the balance this too much to be done to make tourism truly sustainable. but with their echo lodge, the burglary family is off to a good stop. they're convinced there's no other alternative. wow, magnificent. i'd love to travel there one day. but it might just be too good for me . back to africa now where we're headed into the concrete jungle of our crop.
8:44 am
everything, cruise and traffic congestion is full thing. can the, and still ditch the cause. i'm find new modes of transport and some of the solutions, a very effective indeed in gone us capital, aka, getting from a to b can be a nightmare. it's normally hot in distances of thought. and if you do drive or take public transport, you're stuck in traffic. rush hour can triple travel times. so canadians are increasingly switching to to real lawrence a. j is a pro cyclist and has been building his own e bikes for years, with a twist. ah, what is push on by case i use is accurate budgets. secondly, i by putting to possible is then very strong and is very strong like that is times
8:45 am
why i thought that was going on is i want to know young. i think it was like living yes. all right, and this is in the do it. so wanted to credit for myself and from then progressing to meet. is it like or by the 26 year old is self taught. he watches ready before we are almost every day and tinkers with his iep, like lauren's orders, the remaining part through the internet. meanwhile, dealer russell men, so self e bikes from china. but those suffer performance issues, butree, documented, in shelly learned stud rubble. so when it came in a should this was will have been yellow, or lot of complaints from customers, russell, believe skinny, and say, increasingly keen on
8:46 am
e bikes. and he sells around 8 units a month. but the price is steep. $300.00 to $1100.00 euro's for an e bike is a huge demand for that. he basic gun, the guns law, the right thing is that go, nobody knows about you. but lemme see by just thinking probably about 34 years ago, for lawrence too. it's not just about the joy of writing, but also traveling cheaply and quickly, especially as fuel prices rise. his e bikes can cover up to 130 kilometers per charge. i wasn't because it sounds odd with are good to like re far. i thought i needed a mortal my then as i went on i told him all my solution and he said he can do something out depending on the performance of the battery. a customized lawrence e by cost between $6860.00 euro's so far. lawrence has sold 7 of his e bikes,
8:47 am
but he's looking to supercharge his iep. i dream. a suffix. ingestion is a growing problem in cities all over the world. what can we do to tackle it? okay, we could all try moving around a bit less, but sometimes you have to move. we all have places we need to get to. well, we can learn a lot from the animal kingdom. scientists often use animal behavior as a reference when it comes to new development in medicine, or biotechnology and movement, for example, could provide a blueprint for more efficient traffic management. bad traffic, bad vibes, and highways are also super busy, but clearly run
8:48 am
a lot more smoothly. in the human world, congestion on the roads is a normal part of life. we even keep track of record breaking jams. when hurricane rita hit the southern united states in september 2005, 2 and a half 1000000 people fled houston or tried to the resulting tailback on interstate $45.00, heading inland towards dallas, reached a length of 160 kilometers for 48 hours in the run up to the 2014 world cup and brazil, the roads in and around cell. paolo will gridlocked 340 kilometers of stationary traffic, almost equivalent to the distance from sao paolo to rio. moscow. november 2012. the notorious russian winter paralyzed much of the biggest country on the planet. for 3
8:49 am
days and 3 nights, snowstorms blocked the highway between saint petersburg and the capital. but how do traffic jams actually come about? the main reason is that you do not have enough capacity. um, of course there are other reasons um, but these reasons, reasons are not that they do not happen that often. um, dumb people sometimes make driving mistakes. of course, for instance, they do not pay enough attention. then they have to break heart rate works heavy weather conditions, but most of them think the percent original way. okay. you too many cars at the same time. the same news in the same direction. ah.
8:50 am
but the world runs differently. when i met with the principal is one for all and all for one not hardly applies to motorists on the road. everyone thinking, what's the quickest way of getting to my destination? individuals focus on themselves and don't care about the others. off to the drivers have a lot to learn from aunts with lifetime, i knew about old hall faithfulness. i was a driver and wrote her name call britain existing, and it is a thing which hinders the old system to be effective. so this would be a difference. is that the better good is both maxima? that is, if you, yes it the user optimum and the system optimum and nominated are the ones who have
8:51 am
for him. so the best situation so that it is the user optimal but is no for the system displays. so and cooperate and have a common goal. humans on the road do 2 in a way they each want to get from 8 should be. but the lack of cooperation results and countless people wasting vast amounts of time in traffic jams. how much time precisely, telemetry experts have the figures take. for example, germany's biggest city think palm has made this kind of um, statistic than they they have a number to face. how much more time have you invest in on your daily commute and from pearl in this number? it's about 30 percent in other cities. it's much, much worse. 3rd spot goes to bogota. residents of the colombian capital spend an average of 230 hours a year going nowhere fast. that's almost 10 full days. the frustration can
8:52 am
sometimes boil over, ah, number 2, bengal in 2019 drivers in the indian mega city spent an average of 243 hours stuck in traffic. ah, but when it comes road leading congestion look no further than manila researchers worked out that in 2019 rude users in the capital of the philippines. last 257 hours of their lives to the demon commute to many self absorbed drivers with big egos crammed into narrow spaces. anti waste by contrast are always busy, but never congested. how did they manage that? all medical and answer communicate via sent. they have plans to produce them various pheromones, convey information such as danger,
8:53 am
food all this way. you have a community that want to have the system up to that one through a working on a flow which is not stopped by individuals. so we can run from the and i don't think that one can teach the people to behave like hans, depend on a communal effort and adapt as conditions change. humans communicate not so much with each other as against each other. and while costing us precious time that comes at a financial cost as well. and if it didn't thank you to make a highway and you say you have a 4 kilometer gen g remain for 3 hours and you can drive only 10 instead of 80. then you can calculate what is the last time for all the drivers
8:54 am
there and to end up with it being 510-0000 euro one check and my cadillac, it book. oh germany for example. if you come up with 862100 1000000 euro 2 year english, 80000000000 euro, we lost just by standing still. and jeff, so you don't only lose time. ah, so what's left to the lessons? can we learn from the internet with america? then we can copy it and. ready this is the hope that then at the end, we will have a working traffic system which has a much larger capacity as we have today. oh, insights from ants might soon be translated into better traffic routing and better
8:55 am
attitudes. it's ultimately up to us. we need less ego and more consideration for others. it's better to cruise at a moderate speed, for example, than speed and slam on the brakes. perhaps then we'll be able to see ourselves a lot more time and money and avoid scenes like this. ready what an inspiring idea i'm afraid that's all we have time for today. thanks the joining us here on equal africa. and to be sure to come back again next week until then it's good bye for me. chris elapse looking forward to seeing you again. next increase and that closely you of you as, as well. in the meantime, as you know, you can or as a chicken with us on all of our social media platforms, will always waiting to hear from you. so it is a good bye. i am sandra tina with you take care.
8:56 am
ah, a, a, a with her. oh wow.
8:57 am
this is the darker side of the energy revolution. the story is as tragic as it is familiar. rich countries need ra resources like copper at she devices. and sheila has plenty of it, but copper mining is a dirty disney set harm people in the environment. is there a better way?
8:58 am
in in 74 on d, w o. o, one, continent, 700000000 people with their own personal stories. europe. mm hm. we explore every day life with what europeans fear and what they hope for focus on european o d, w m no mm hm. mm hm. should we oh,
8:59 am
do we treat animals and why hasn't anything changed? does this is actually a clear violation of animal protection. why do we love some as companions while eating others? yeah, i never thought about how strange it was that i could had my dog with one hand while i ate a pork chop with the other. what is the alternative? and how does it taste? it's like the real thing. yeah. will we all be vegan and 50 years? i've seen very few strong arguments to keep eating animals. a documentary series about the future of food with the great debate this week on t w. ah
