ah ah ah ah, ah, bill lifestyles of bo, then day people require a lot of energy to produce that energy. we've done incredible damage to nature and

the environment. but it is possible to do things differently. welcome to a new edition of a co africa. i am chris a limbs integral state nigeria. thank you, chris. it is to right there 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 le. gender. on here is a preview of what's in store, passenger boards in labels we help residents circumvent traffic jams. pulpits in germany are transformed into natural or says and solar part is changing rule life in norman gut. going to school every single morning is routine for many children, but for merkel and caesar, it is fundamental to via survival. v. r o fund. chimpanzees in guinea torching,

and the destruction of habitus have shrunk, sheep populations. now thousands have been orphaned. and some species or even facing extinction. the chimpanzee conservation center in guinea is trying to help mako and caesar i leading the way into the bush. they are off on to be with chimps rescued from animal traffickers. now they leave at the chimpanzee conservation center. a sanctuary located in the national park of upper major in is 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 of our genetic blueprint have declined dramatically. in the last 20 years. they now

critically endangered new berkeley bol cause a restaurant. 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 speak. dylan was in guinea. chimpanzees are often poached for their meat or sold as pets. chimps like marco, have been seized by the authorities, are brought to the center this sanctuary, rehabilitated 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. the teams day gets off to a swinging stat with

a breakfast of fruits and ginger tea to combat the called 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 horton bramble w. the forest is important for the chimpanzee. either we walk with them through the forest or to little they can get used to eat as it is their habitat rattle here, they can find food and a place to sleep. okay. bruno marcus, but for local and his faults to attend to the forest, they need large open spaces to hang out in. yet human activities like agriculture and logging are destroying the national park. the lawful sufficient, healthy habitat mean just trying to james could be released since 2008 because it was on the chimpanzee conservation center, contribute to species protection through rehabilitation and re introduction as rover. but i thought by educating the local community feel it

because it's the community that's destroying the environment. and so these people need to be educated and since it 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 threat. resent puerto does approach conspiracy meant he doesn't have launch different projects to raise environmental awareness within the communities. living in the puck among them is a weekly radio show. i mean, if informed listeners about the pac flora and fauna, it's natural resources and how to protect them, you know, do i need occasional program at primary schools inside the park also teaches future generations about the importance of conservation and the threat chimpanzees face. since it's taught in 21900, more than 700 students have taken part in this workshops.

to the point was these the program around these programs in schools to children, while the young, if you truly can, grew up with the idea and also possible information on to others to protect the environment. well, 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 association, the center has created lasting employment opportunities and launched a plastic recycling project which supports more than $300.00 women, which is on the level it we make. so class. and now we also recycle plastic bags and turn them into laptops. these are little passes. we also saw shopping bugs for the women, so they don't buy plastic bugs on the market anymore. or market. it's

a win win solution. these projects provide locals with a steady income, raise environmental awareness and ease of pressure on the ecosystem. and could soon give mark or cesar and the fellow chiefs, enough face to go ape in the wild. preserving habitats is one sink. but what teeth, they've 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 gutting horse left by open peat lick night mines. no one former industrial hub and nibbling over some hope that transformation and restoration are indeed possible. the east german village, of course, caution is puzzling with summer 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 for desert side of the st. 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 louse, it's as it's known and german could attract any tourists 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 the road to get fog was must then sites the noise, utah, people kept asking, what do you do? shows people the whole. so the mood was different. back then the wall. i was still a lot of the pitts from the ivan cast mines, which i thought so all the fun today, locals are proud of. what's happened here, this giant, 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 louse, it's transformed into a green holiday region with broad cycling lanes. hotels and landmarks like the rusty nails which serves as a reminder of the regents industrial past. from the top of the 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. there is still some work left to do over there and all that should take another year or 2 years. oh, on 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 to acid, a quote, wildlife in full swim us. 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. u. engineers like philip's

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. there's a landslide happening underneath lowering further and further back up, and it's these forces that create the sudden wave on his in at the bottom here we see trees are knocked over like matched egg. there are very powerful forces at work of ism goodbye to good customer 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 zone. army 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 and news 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 in industrial past that visitors want to learn about, be it on this old convey a bridge now surrounded by parks, off renewable energies, or on his guided to a with people who are born here. like a cut 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, are still having on the land in good, 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. it was this over exploitation not the future than the martin. 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 useful other countries that still have that path ahead . well, very interesting. vacationing in a former cold 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 of it for 5 years. 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 the movie 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 up. it'll probably gonna

go up a financing with shit. no. is a small town and southern missouri area. it has one attraction and 19 seventies prefab. at number 12 stones cast street. the balcony sporting solar panels were added on in september. head of the residence association stickney of car called sky makes his routine rounds. hello, good afternoon. nobody is a lovely hello. hello. i just wanted to see if her installation is working properly, but was proven. 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. the facade may be an acquired taste, but in the end, that secondary the former call seller has been converted into an office for the 2 visionaries. as the residents called building managers. the idea for the innovative

energy system came from a simple lack of cash for any of their programs. it was a tragedy hip exile the power company, put us under financial pressure. believe me, i did asked him to let his pay installments or she never thought they just laughed at me. sh. no, well, we don't have any money. so much of that, give me the impetus, go up in the name of the blood brother in spirit, outside of 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, shipped, 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 they heat the water, the residence of number 12 sloan scott street, are as good as immune to rising energy prices. well,

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 our van, my all so what increases is? well the utilities increases. i stuck? no, we haven't been getting those for quite some time now. what verdict is stony, suave, a, keeps her home at a comfortable 22 degrees celsius. but she could keep it warmer, too. oh my son tells me, oh, it's always nice and warm feeling 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 spick 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 court. if facial, if we did it is to other apartment blocks. and there are $25000.00 in all of poland available than imagine how much we would save this. but he's shipping defensive from some a 40000 people die every year from the smog. i'd still be alive as the head of a 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 are also happening here in nigeria, driving a call or taking a bus to work doesn't make sense. in lagos, the city is struggling with traffic jams, which pollutes the air and thrive residents, patience. but it doesn't have to be that way. check how this weeks 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 with. 2 the reason why so many people are buying boats these days? is that water transport as faster than road transport? all? 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 fix it? why going to walk? i'll welcome buck also. so i will demonstrate and if more of the 5000000

car owners in lagos, 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 anesha 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 his visitor website. both send us the tweets hash tag doing your base 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. and that is very right, crease around 45 percent of the rural areas in ghana are 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 ghana. 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 garrison or harvard or lamps? light, which is the subtly weaker and old star lamps of other disadvantages to the kerosene

lamp produces smola. i'm not too concerned in using the smoke mixes. i. solar lamps are better. so i got those ma'am stuffer. the man who supplies a solar lamps when he found the angio socialites wants to replace fossil fuel, lambert, the villages with solar ones. it's all financed by donations. students from new york develop the technology, and lucifer and his fellow campaigners and gonna supply the 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 are built to be maintenance free. have

a long life. the people in the community, this light and a 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 volts so lynette volunteer. so one rug comfort has been trained to run the system. 12 lamps can be recharged simultaneously, but enough electricity left to challenge a few 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 when i'm ready to it comes villages around half a dollar a month to johnston, so lamps and cell phones as them tears in irving lamps. even those were short of

money benefit from the news technology drove. 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. a 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 use a hot room about it. one of ganawe's lead in experts on renewable energy is going to require a major effort, especially in rural areas. he advocates focusing on simple solutions and most of the engine for us. and why sophisticated like both in the areas. so we did provost in 2024 with the same committee like lighting in for, into team and,

and then for just the quality of service in washington, it seems to me in europe, when the batteries are especially when charged electricity is useful. simple pleasures wanting to fill up. so the highlights with our system that also charged in concert 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 move in the night. we got into the can use the facility to so instead, tim themselves, 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 and all our social media platforms, so we can stay in touch. that's all for now. i am sandra tree. nobody you bob bye ah, ah, with ah, ah, with
