feature of voice ah, by healing the environmental rules of deforestation. eco, africa. next on t w. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. magic corner tread hotspot for food and some great cultural memorials to boot w travel off. we go ah hello everybody and welcome to 1st new edition of eco africa. good to have you with us. i am chris alarms coming to you from oakland state in nigeria are with me today

as always is my co host, then uganda. how you doing sandra? in just great, chris, i am really looking forward to today's sure. we'll be covering a lot of interesting environmental topics from both africa and also europe. so let's go ahead and get started. a turkish artist, elements portraits from beans of waste and y conservationists in symbolic wanted to predict wild belts of false report takes a look of popular delicacy, edible crops. the global appetite for crops from canyon is huge. every month, around $10000.00 tons, a court of the countries cost on the exported around the world. but now crop populations bear under threat. so is there a way to fund the show fish sustainably? we paid a visit to a project. striving to do just that. ah,

whenever the tide is lo sidey google is out here hunting for mud crabs at the mitre creek. in what time? oak hill, if you county it has been his daily routine for the past 30 years. he used to catch about 10 crabs a day, but due to over fishing on a good day, he is glad to find 5 this time he'll have to make due with just one challenges on both of the medical fun and progress are these low yields are the result of climate change, umbrella ones, and he hardly a hair. welcome buddy, and that's where most of the problems lie. good and i'm ready for your help was on money. the dry season is now much longer than it used to be. what can crab was prefer? a rainy weather our body do or any or got one for wonder? well one i've been most of side. he go years catch ends up in restaurants like the

che charlotte, which is renowned for its cry. justin, a near has been in charge here since 1999. over the years he noticed that the crab sold to his restaurant were declining in both size and number. so he started looking into breeding them. what i noticed is that m a lot of their mangrove areas and club areas where they have these grubs that are growing naturally was depleted. there was no more grub in these areas and death even though you had very big farms for crab. but there was no more cra, crafts and mangrove forests share a symbiotic relationship. when disrupt it, it can have adverse ecological effects. crabs live and breathe in the mangroves while digging their burrows. they help to aerate the sediment. they also feed on

mangrove leaves and other organic matter, which means the nutrients get recycled. the crabs are very good in terms of the ecological monotone. because they tell you among them was completed. the good did you not find the crabs there? so they're an indicator of the model of enrollment to help boost the dwindling crab stocks, just in a near decided to set up a hatchery in 2017. he see this very most of the worlds hatcheries are found in asia and years. hatchery is one of the 1st to be established on the african continent. he believes it will provide an alternative for the fishing community, and that it will also have a ripple effect on mangrove conservation. what that does is it, it stops on the harvesting of juvenile and wild club. therefore, the natural mangrove habitat stays natural and will thrive. crab

farming is a very delicate process. while a single mud crab can lay approximately $6000000.00 eggs, only a few will survive to the juvenile stage. to give them a higher chance of survival just in a near as currently experimenting with ocean water to replicate conditions in their natural breathing grounds. to make sure the program succeeds, he holds training sessions at his hatchery for local farmers. then learning the importance of conserving the mud crab and about their symbiotic relationship with a mangrove forests. once the program starts, they'll purchase baby crafts instead of fishing in the nearby creeks. just in, in years hatchery will sell a killer of eggs to the farmers at about 2 years 30. once they mature into crabs, the farmers will release some into the banker of forests and sell some of them to

restaurants. and waste water from the hatchery can also be used to help regenerate the mangrove forests. i collect mangrove seed. that washes up on our beach. here put them in this mud and that waste water because it is full of, of, or over good stuff for mangrove, but bad stuff for crabs. the mangrove thrived from the bad stuff from clubs. justin and ears hatchery ha. sharla may not single handedly sold the issues of over fishing or mangrove conservation on the canyon coast. but it certainly one step in the right direction. annex report. it takes us to cologne, where we meet a young man that he's very concerned about the impact climate change, his having in his home town and the entire world. and is doing something about it

was started as a bit of fun, has not become much more than just a hobby. if you think teenagers are lazy, this guy will make you think again before gets into work. these kids how to wash their project supplies, which is a bit out of the ordinary. they're taking part in a workshop run by 17 year old our sin, don't everything hastily from trash. the children will learn how to design and build their own model, city out of waste, actual romano crosses on our market. ginger, we're building a model of the city of to morrow, with trees and renewable energy to combat global warming for multi multi it all started with an early passion for building. our sin was unhappy at a traditional school, so his parents sent him to a technical school instead. long scenary local mom. he started to develop ideas

there, to do drawings. he built little things out of stuff like cardboard. gradually he got to the level he's at to day and he had a talent. and as a mother, i wanted to encourage him to develop his his now gaining a falling online. he gives most of his muddles away, but some he sells. this stadium was quickly snapped up in the positive more so i didn't just buy it for myself. i also bought it so that i could advertise for him. but if someone wants something built and they see this model and ask who built it, i'll tell them it's the design of a talented young architect. dribble said enough, she did or pair. don't friends, enough material where he lives in, yolande, the capital of come room. he goes to businesses and homes to collect trash, especially cardboard and plastic. his helps to raise awareness about recycling. i

val wanna clear panel, we didn't recycle before kathy but awesome dogmas initiates, who taught us how to systematically separate out trash. there's a local sanitation company, but you can only process limited amounts. only about 40 percent of the trash gets collected. the trucks only drive on big paved streets, but most residents live along small roofs. um, but i love when you walk to the city, you see garbage all over the place and i see people just throw it anywhere. every community needs to develop a waste disposal strategy practitioners association in the symbol area where assent lives. at least some of the trash gets picked up by him and he needs it for his weekly workshops. he was attacking said upon the aisle, is it a market? it's my goal to teach as many kids as possible, how to build these models out of trash and how to separate trash route. i'm and the

parents learn as well. around 30 families are taking part. an interest is growing. they just pay small fee for the tools. i've seen arsons models and they really interest me. that's why i find my son up so he can make them to give his so can i say he started giving workshops early this year. the children pay attention to him or now his morals haven't only inspired a love of building the workshops also make them more aware of their environment. even though the only building models are cheese on solar panels, they're learning more about environmental protection and ascending move hoops to inspire even more people. i dream of sharing my passion with the whole world and seeing one of my models being built in full scale. even if his dream isn't

a reality yet, our sin dogma is tenacious and continues to forge his own half. his already created his green district. if only in model form was impressive. i'm sure will be say more of that young man in future. people everywhere are taken with materials and up cycling them into something new, like an artist in turkey who makes portraits out of stuff that others have tossed out. oh, her portraits are put together from plastic, bottle tops, colored scraps of paper and fabric. and lots of cords this turkish artist works and the medium of trash all the while following a mission. marvel are by no, i'm dennis savage. i'm trying to create a social consciousness by tuning all kinds of every day consumer items into works of ours of get up my toes should. she composes the portraits and her istanbul

studio picking out interesting faces on the internet. first, she prints out photos of details and assembled them to form a template one meter 40 by one meter 40. that's when the creative work commences. owns immunization can reach festival. my mind plays with the pfizer and i analyze this play. i met with yours before i designed the portrait, i go to works of black and white photography for inspiration and leave out the colored pieces will the time being as in thinking that sorry i actually, it was a bit like a puzzle. i watched them. i saw that in his live, it's all mir puzzles. oh, then he sounded, stores her materials next door to her studio, piling up all kinds of scraps and bits and pieces, including cables, wires, leather, and aluminum cans. she gets her materials from the east on bull garbage collectors, and private companies parked the park, the mazda molars, while i looked like

a wide variety of materials, such as for instance, textiles graphs. today miss all these up plastic bottle cabinet that we've collected over time. legend, i sorry, i missed that would on the hard, this is all electronic john, our electronic data that i actually found in one piece lit a pic, but we break them down into little competitive we, hans with and then all of these little paths can become odd if you thought miss her works are displayed in public spaces like as don bull's airport. here, the artist reaches the broad international audience that she wants to sensitize to a more conscious use of resources. many of the travelers take the time to inspect, denise savage is complex, works close up to it. they're not of the asylum about that. when people

see my words from a distance, they generally take them for oil painting, sickness mold on up when they come a little closer. they start to realize they're made up of household j executive sorta think route. then they can hardly believe what they're seeing and reflexively start touching my work so that sometimes even that's not enough for them. you know, they might have picked something off and take it along as 17 in wrong still are currently the artist is working on a series of portraits consisting of lots of colored plastic bags. she fixes each disposable back to the board with a glue gun. she devotes around 3 to 6 weeks to works like this. for them. can i stick you on time and to show that odd doesn't have to be made only using the classic methods of your son? for i'd like to develop a school of art that proves cooking can be art. amazon, the holding a camera is azure and even how we act can be arch i. they did a,

could they, me, academic expertise, isn't all that county me, i'd like to open a school where you can learn from practical experience school i to my, to steer oh, i catching worse with an agenda than he sought edge hopes her ard can help make the world, a slightly better place south africa has undergone rapid development and wrists and decades. with g p over $400000000000.00. it's the 3rd largest economy on the african continent. it excellent universe, these huge reserves of rural materials and how you developed financial sector make south africa af, 4 runner in many areas, but in its drive to develop. and modernize traditional knowledge is at risk of being lost for the wind up people or south africa, trees are sacred. each and every one to day vol. mccardie joyce and

a group of students are planting 20 in nothin limpopo province. the organisation from one or more pool or voice of nature, has planted over a 100 trees in the village of chic zivare. in the past few weeks, since 2000 import or had lost 17 per cent of its indigenous forest cover, as trees were raised to make way for plantations and might be more, no, no organization exist to give a voice to nature which cannot speak for itself. we believe it is our responsibility to protect the environment and its inhabitants. as a child, i was taught to respect trees and not to cut them down indiscriminately on the wall trees. i like the elders of the living things. when we destroy them, we lose a part of our heritage and our connection to the natural world re ambrey we met. elders are highly respected in vendor karcher valmont as addie joyce is emma catchy,

a female leader who upholds traditional knowledge of seeds, soil and nature, which she passes on to younger generations. on lava defended, dr. emerson, he called them me. i love planting trees. not only do trees produce oxygen, they also help us in so many other ways. they provide us medicine, wood for furniture and delicious fruits to eat. planting trees makes me feel good and where he had a family chair somewhere. lamar was mac. haji work closely with other communities to address issues such as food security, land, degredation, biodiversity loss, and climate change. these elders thick to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of their natural and cultural heritage as the voice of nature. they also defend their land against potential threats. and these wise elders are in big demand. today the chief of she'd c v consult with for

mac as i did, joyce regarding a proposed coal mine development near the village. the mine needs their approval to go ahead to lower, but the 2 leaders are skeptical. roadrunner with whom i mean, i won't allow mining here mine workers will die. the gas as they breathe like poison the pollution makes the whole community sick. if the water is contaminated, the trees re blanchard will die to it's like sitting on top of a bomber when the rolling. the chief's concerns are well founded in the neighboring province of am, from a longer coal mines have caused massive environmental degradation and health problems. but the fear goes farther. vendor people believe nature is spiritually interconnected. trees, rivers and mountains are living beans with their own personalities. mining would destruct disconnection and endanger the traditional way of life. in order to protect it, a founding member of zone more law,

more pom. fatty laney marco luly promotes the cultivation of indigenous crops like finger millet and calabash, thus combining the preservation of cultural heritage with plant de bassetti. she is setting up a seed bank where farmers can land about overlooked crops. this work was of this is the bank is in educational facility, where from children, yours a death farmers. there will come in the lin, he then no leisure around this seed into foot sister. and it causes them because a said to does not just be alone. food does not stay along. ecosystem is needed for all this them to wait. inch in fever, vol. mccardie joyce is sharing her knowledge with the yet another group of children . the deep conviction that all things are part of a larger hall that connect humans, animals, and nature, is taught from a young age. to illustrate that better, she shows them

a seasonal calendar based on traditional knowledge for vol mac, as i d joyce culture and the stewardship of nature are one and the same thing i would like to do. we are teaching these children about the seasons in a way they can understand what the traditional practices of their ancestors passed along through generations to ensure that our culture, vietcong, in way of late, not lost in a world where indigenous cultures an entire echo systems are under constant threat zone one, lamar pool is a bastion of hope for the preservation of both. do you have a dog in your life? dogs are conceded as good companions and fiercely loyal to the others. what somewhat surprising people consider wild dogs dangerous an unpredictable

that may be true crease, but the 40th wild dogs actually play an important part in the ecosystems in which they leave. so conservationists easy by way of fighting hard to protect one especially beautifully species formed. there this pretty puff looks like a peaceful fellow, but this species bad reputation has, let's see, it been one of the most endangered in the world. just 130 african painted dogs live in the family, national park in northwest zimbabwe. here most people only view the animals as a threat to the cattle and otherwise useless. a local and julie's working to change the perception during a mob near atlanta with david coover. walker is a team. if you have painted docs in an ecosystem, it means that your pray base is good. if you have a good pri best,

it also means you know, it means your, your, your, your, your, your, your produces, you know, your grass or trees and stuff. it means there is something that the prey can feed. so on to your friend the docs in the system, it shows that there's enough space and there's enough, ah, wildlife in the spin assist him. the biggest threats to the wild dogs are trump said, my poachers, though the major targets of these traps are small animals, pursued for their me. painted dogs frequently get entangled in them over there known to cover great distances in the wild as the hunt use. the range as work would be insufficient without the support of local residents. once a month cover walker pays the visits to the my barley community where he meets with a village leader. they discussed their mutual efforts, knowing that collaboration is key to their success. $200.00 members of the

community have organized and voluntary service scheme. how to protect the wild dogs . it's an undertaking for future generations. anyone does work together in nuclear or live nails. henry, keep the dog fill. if we don't look after them, i take the wound the cake no more our dog boy young that you do not know what a dope is. in the past 2 decades, over 30000 snares have been relieved through such corporation between painted door conservation and community. but to make an even greater difference, the factors that often push people into poaching in the 1st place need to be addressed. here at the eager yana otts on crowd center, collected wire snares find new life in the hands of over 30 artists who are employed to make different artifacts. mainly for the european markets, a 3rd of the profits around $50000.00

a year goes to the artisans. the rest supports other conservation efforts for the painted dogs we making animals through at so we can look up our parents who can look up our friends who can look after our children. saw that they go to school, they go to wakes and in the make it a living they, improving livelihoods is essential for conservation efforts. but so his education, pinta dog conservation is to the hosting a class from one of the 21 schools in wiley for a week on program called ega. yana boucher. it's an opportunity for kids around the age of 11 to learn more about the printer, dogs, and the environment. and what i would do is legitimate of an opportunity that otherwise limited as part of the camps activities they recover. walker is given the children a tour of the n, jules rehabilitation center, injured dogs,

and nursed back to health here, and then released over 80, have already been rehabilitated and sent back into the wild. said danny, ever, yvonne by enamel. i have learned that when painted dogs are in the wild, they mostly hunt down weaker or diseased animals do america and if they become extinct. so there will be a lot of spread of disease among animals which will see them dying. nazena says guys are all who last as a see for all the efforts going on here. i have in the meaningful impact, but there is still a need for longer term measures to prevent species like the african painter dog from dying out. well we've run out of time for this week. we hope you like to show and that it's given you something to think about. i am chris alone signed off from
