women in architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them. what is the poetry the secret of the house? about their struggles and dreams. for her walkability is huge. they have so much to lose. shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. this has to be really, really good. starts april 20th on d, w. oh . hello everybody and welcome to 1st new edition of eco africa. good to have you with us. i am chris, a lamps common 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 show will be covering a lot of interesting environmental topics from both africa and also you. so let's go ahead and get started. a turkish artist immense portraits from beans of whist and y conservationists in seen by way. want to predict wild dealt with a 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 low side igloo. u as out here hunting for mud crabs at the mitre creek in what tom? okay. leafy county. it has been his daily routine for the past 30 years. he used to cut 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 do with just one john and give them both of them. if we're flying and burger saw these low yields are the result of climate change on black ones and he hardly a hair walk about it. and that's where most of the problems lie. good and i'm ready for your help was a money. the dry season is now much longer than it used to be. what can crabs prefer? a rainy weather our body do or any, or got one for wonder? well one i've been most of sidey go years catch ends up in restaurants like the che

charlotte, which is renowned for its crappy just in 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 crab areas, where they have these grubs that are growing naturally was depleted. there was no more club in these areas. and there, 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. crowds 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 ecology core monitoring. because they tell you among was completed the good. did you not find the crabs there? so they're an indicator of the mangrove in waterman to help boost the dwindling crab stocks. just in a near decided to set up a hatchery in 2017. we see this very most of the world's 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. i 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 creek slide. and then 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 bank, ro, 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 as that waste water because it is full of, of air over good stuff for mangrove, but bad stuff for crabs. the mangrove thrive from the bad stuff from clubs. justin and ears hatchery at chase shallow 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. our next 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 i'm on across is all on my kitchen . 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 that 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 develope these he's 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 for 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 sheet that opec 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. are

val wanna clear police, we didn't recycle before kathy. what's awesome dung was initiative taught us how to systematically separate out trash. there's a local sanitation company, but he 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. oh, but i love when you walk to the city, you see garbage all over the place and i show people just throw it anywhere. every community needs to develop a waste disposal strategy practitioners as an industry in the same book area where i send lives, at least some of the trash gets picked up by him and he needs it for his weekly workshop. so he doesnt, i can set up on the analyses 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 room 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 given workshops early this year. the children pay attention to him . well 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 every way arctic and waste materials and up cycling them into something new like an artist in turkey who makes portrait 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. maravella by no, i'm dennis savage. i'm trying to create is social consciousness by template one meter 40 by one meter 40. that's when the creative work commences.

owns it as even candidates festival. my mind plays with the photo and i analyze this play amid the order. 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 is in lincoln, natalia, actually, it was a bit like a puzzle. i watched him. i saw that in his live. it's all mir puzzles. oh and 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. park the park, the mazda millard, while i look like a wide variety of materials, such as for instance, textiles scraps. today. miss all, these are plastic bottle cappy that we've collected over time live. oh, sorry, i missed that were gone. the honey,

this is all electronic. jung large electronic data that i actually found in one piece of literature pic, but we break them down into little competitive with hard music. and then all of these little paths can become odd if you thought it fitted with her works are displayed in public spaces like it's 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 as complex works close up to it. they're not the asylum remarked when people see my words from a distance. they generally take them for oil painting sickness, molden. but when they come a little closer, they start to realize they're made up of household. doug j executive sorta figure out then they can hardly believe what they're seeing and reflexively start touching

my so the sometimes even that's not enough for them. yeah, they might have picked something off and take it along as a 7 an wrong still are. currently, the artist is working on a series of portraits consisting of lots of colored plastic bags. she fixes each disposable bag to the board with a glue gun. she devotes around 3 to 6 weeks to work like this for them can i think you on time and you said that our doesn't have to be made only leasing the classic methods of your son for i'd like to develop a school of art that proves cooking can be art it, him of them the holding a camera is azure and even how we act can be art i this is a, could they me, academic expertise isn't all that kathleen, i'd like to open a school where you can learn from practical experience school i try to steer them. oh, i catching worse with an agenda than he's savage hopes her art can help make the world

a slightly better place. south africa has undergone rapid development and wrist and decades. with a 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. mac has added 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 limpopo has lost 17 per cent of its indigenous forest cover. as trees were raised to make way for plantations and might be more no, no organisation 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 are living things. when will destroy them, will lose a part of our heritage in our connection to the natural world, li, amber. anyway. another highly respected in vendor karcher valmont as addie, joyce is a more catchy, a female leader who upholds traditional knowledge of seeds, soil, and nature, which she passes on to younger generations. lot of good 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 as 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, landed in addition, 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 the former casa de joyce, regarding a proposed called mind development near the village. the mine needs their approval to go ahead, but the 2 leaders are skeptical. roadrunner, with whom i me,

i won't allow mining here. mine workers will die, the gases they breathe like poison. the pollution makes the whole community sick. if the waters contaminated the trees replant will die too. 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. lamar pom fatter laney marco luly promotes the cultivation of indigenous crops like finger milk and calabash, thus combining the preservation of cultural heritage with plant. they 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 famous there will come in to learn. he then knowledge around a did seed into full system and it causes that because a said to does not just be alone, full does not be an ecosystem is needed for all this them to wait in. she'd devi walmack as i did. 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 hallmark 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 the traditional practices of their ancestors, passed long through generations to ensure that our culture, vietcong and we are not lost in a world where indigenous cultures and entire echo systems are under constant threat zone we're lamar paul, is a bust june 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. but somewhat surprising. people consider wild dogs dangerous and unpredictable. that may be true crease, but the 14th wild dogs actually play an important part in the ecosystems, each leap. so conservationists in zimbabwe. a fighting hard to protect one especially beautifully species formed there. this pretty puff looks like

a peaceful fellow, but these species bad reputation has letty it been one of the most endangered in the world. just 130 african painted dogs leaving the one in national park in north west zimbabwe. here, most people only view the animals as a threat to their cattle and otherwise useless. a local and you is working to change that perception jam up near in atlanta. would david cover walker visiting if you have to pay the docks in an ecosystem, it means that your pray base is good. if you have a good pray base, 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's something that the prey can feed. so once you find a doctor in the system, it shows that there's enough space and there's enough,

and wildlife in the spin assist him. the biggest threats to the wild dogs, a trap set my poachers. though the major targets of these traps are small animals, pursued for their me, painted dogs frequently get entangled in them. they are known to cover great distances in the wild as the hunt to you. the rangers work would be insufficient without the support of local residents. once a month, hoover 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 is an undertaking for future generations. senior does work together in the clear or live nails in re keep the dog self. if we don't look after them,

i t, the wound the kid, no more. our dog boy young. if you do not know what a dog eat. in the past 2 decades, over 30000 snares have been relieved through such cooperation between painted dog, conservation, and communities. but to make an even greater difference, the factors that often push people into poaching in the 1st, please need to be addressed here at the eager yanna arts and crafts 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 with making animals through at so you 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. david cover 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 m, as 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 glass as 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 . i'm that it's giving you something to think about. i am chris alone signed off from nigeria. see you again, next time in berlin. you sure will chris in next week we'll be presenting it africa on location in the gentleman capital. so do be sure to tune into that very special
