to keep taking on the powers that be, they risk everything gender, meet activists, journalists, and politicians, living in exile. they were tortured. they live for their mission. what drives them? people need to know what is happening there. are series guardians of truth. watch now on youtube. d w documentary ah well count to this new edition of aiko africa brought to you by germany's dw nigeria channels, television and uganda's antipathy represented on the show by my wonderful co

presenter sondra. oh thank is. so my screen is as a very wonderful day to you too. well, nice to see you all. and today we've got a wonderful schultz unless thought with a peep. look at what we have coming up. how am i in uganda has found a way to put used diapers to good use. the poor steve impact shellfish have on climate change and why and consumers and promise in germany and giving funding, i rethink. but 1st, the push me trait has come under fire in recent years. one reason is the rise in disease transmission between animals and humans. but there are also very serious concerns about endangered species. several countries have now banned the hunting, selling and consumption of bush meets. that his wife crease and indeed it is good

for the animals. but the big question is, what happened to those people whose livelihood once depended on the white life trick? how have they been impacted by french bonds? and of course report picks us to a barrier to find out this young dwarf crocodile had a lucky escape. it was rescued a 3 and a half months ago. now beyond barbara is raising it back into the wild ease the conservation manager at liberia's 1st general widely century. before he started this job, he taught of sin crocodiles or the source of food. now he's returned hundreds of animals to their natural habitat. when i was growing up, i, i head lukewarm, one view of all the barriers. well it, it will need is like of course them, or tradition. ah,

i was growing up in going to school. lenny i, what was the vision in getting that if you working with wildlife have changed everything mclawrence did is to what the bid be brought to bring about change in community to schools and in the, in the villages where most of these animals come from the forest among roofs and rivers of lay barrier global biodiversity hotspot with hundreds of different species of buds, mammals, reptiles and plants. a few years ago, the barrier passed law binding, the cell and consumption of bush meet. the aim is to preserve biodiversity and prevent the spread of disease and we make it more really bustle wildlife century. outside the capital monrovia was founded in 2017 the stuffy care for

a huge variety of wide life. most of the animals were confessed dictated by 42 development authority from people involved in the now illegal bush, me to fred factories, absolutely imperative till iberia, the wildlife law came and got changed from 2016. and the, when the law is in force, they have to have somewhere to bring these animals linguists. most of the animals here actually often. and this little boost mark is a prime example, came in at 350 grams, which is the white. they would be while it was when it was born. so there is a 99 percent chance it's month. the mother had actually been killed and for the mate. and the little one was left with nearly

70 percent of liberia's population living in close proximity to the country. dense forests bush. mit was incredibly popular. the most common animals targeted were tomlins. along with several species of monkeys comfort debbie sold, bush meeting, monrovia so much it's for over 20 years. but to day she has become a national advocate for the country's white life and biodiversity. and we're talking with a we me and we're talking will allow people to stop trading the wish me because it will be fine for we the lab, we read it with wanton under a tree, a push me how far i would be empty. it will not be good for us. according to the worldwide font furniture liberians used to get more than 75 percent of the protein from bush made. much of it was sold at local markets where most people here get their food. eta muma also sold bush meat for many years,

but after walking with comfort, she switched to selling fish, which benefits her and her family. oh, i send a book. oh, how rich this will go, father this, this is another fis on sally. no such is that. i'm said, the book fair, this is travis with ample following. if i don't want to go by, i think so much of it i'm, i think otherwise, i'm with comfort deficits. advocacy looks to be paying off. a study was conducted on the prevalence of bush bit being treaded of the markets across the country. it found that in a single year there was a 50 percent reduction in bush mit, but despite this positive results, there are still challenges this mike as no longer with me while we have for many my guessing process on market south. so my guess is and then the lead us as for that to me. so it takes time. all change takes time,

but awareness is half the battle. and any reduction could give critical, endangered animals like these white bellied tree, puzzling and countless other species a fighting chance. the progress made in the barrier shall the f. what is what? while to ensure the long term survival of many, the bus and beautiful species. it's good to see nature preserved. another huge challenge in today's walls is all the west we create and how to this book it all or recycling in a way that doesn't put abundant on the environment. and a human west is no exception here. but before we, you poor poor idea, we want you to take a look at an interesting project right here at home in uganda that he's making the most of these and the valued natural resources here is based. we're doing a bit ah,

what can a business be built on baby poop? well, entrepreneur patrick, my juicy think. so babies go through 5 to 7 diapers a day on average. but in compulsive camacho, settlement most dirty diapers, end up on massive garbage heaps around town. now patrick medusa, his team goes out and collects the diapers after separating the organic material from the plastic parts, the plastic becomes a component in the construction of urgently needed community toilets. missing the fust, if a word is composed dba toilet. so to me though, the $200.00 women are vulnerable, women in come, which are slum, ah, we have, we have picked all we picked on the sorted on the puck. ah, they said they pause and fix them into their boat was to from town,

from bricks. now the upper part of it, the other i whispered over it over there they but they put on and they put bull is put into the compost, our permit, the biscuit for the laser, which is organic. the baby poop is mixed with clay and local trees. seeds and then rolled into balls and dried patrick ma josie then sells the seed bars to tours keen to do their before the local environment. and with a bit of luck, the seeds will help trees grow far and wide. and how about you? if you are also doing your business, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. ah,

that's certainly another way of getting seeds into the ground and a pretty clever business model, considering it is best on free and endless supply of roll materials. but, well, that's true sondra to read. i didn't think of it myself when my kids were younger. now speaking of so in seats, in many parts of the world, industrial farming has taken a serious, tall on biodiversity. many crops are now also struggling in the face of climate change. a germany, some consumers are calling for our general think of agriculture and a number of farmers actually agree with that. in early morning wash an acre farm and as our land region of western germany today vill him a guy doesn't have to look after his animals alone. alexandra moo stumpage. and

even as cooney are here to help for a weekend, they only just arrive on are already hard at work. they want to learn more about the practical challenges faced by farmers are within 11 with abortion, i work in the food industry and would like to continue down this path in the future weekend or. and i wanted to get to know the whole food industry from its ruth's weekly industry and you know what sir kennedy lannon has been been so st. andrews gas, i am self employed in the catering industry. and i work with products from the food industry or cervical cancer and was i had this, i want to know where they're made, where they come from. and how much while catch to guys. and then how about the voice of the farm has been in the family for 150 years. it covers 70, hector is of land and has pigs, cows, and chickens. while not an organic farm vill him a guy is big on sustainable methods and animal welfare. unlike on many farms, the pigs can move freely and they're stall and an outdoor area. but of course,

the animals will still be slaughtered as it has been that the i'm not the kind of person who says that i can't eat them. now the, i see them i'm getting is actually just the opposite. once you see they have a good life dusty, no, there's always lots to do. raising livestock is an important part of the farms income. in addition to around $300.00 pigs, there are also 40 cows. but the farmer has no plans to increase his livestock van to feler finer. on sco, frugal garden in germany, we keep too many pigs and poultry does. he had c r m. did we produce more mate than we can consume? and that's not good for anyone. i'm old, so he decided to take a different path. in 1989 vill home a guy farm was the 1st in germany to adopt stricter animal welfare rules. these

include free roaming for livestock all year round the use of straw and plenty of space in the stalls. unlike industrial agriculture, i wasn't unclear of that fin restore. we have to move towards more regional farming and regional marketing, where we produce for the needs of our population and under conditions that are approved to ecological and sustainable india coalition in our how they thinned. the work continues for the 2 women. next they have to collect eggs from the chicken coop. the farm has more than 1200 hens. normally i've never collected eggs like this. this is, oh, it's warm. it's really fresh. is it farming that needs to change or something else? name is minus the act. i think the problem is over consumption, the constant unnecessary demand from consumers, say that if we could just reduced bads, then there'd be no problem there. then people would just be satisfied with what's

available empathy versus needs. so both consumers and farmers need to change, but how much change is realistic? the 2 women raised the issue during the coffee break as an cancel work not to completely turn back the clock. only bad people joining forces to work together again, one would i was i need a sharing system. exactly. lanchen the olive moore heading. oh, you can think of all sorts of things, including new farms or small farms that are managed sensibly by several generations or a farm with a baker butcher or handicraft business. in these, unlike in our market economy, the decisive factor is always whether something's profitable, whether the prospects for making money are so good that there are courageous people who do it, will help a guy has that courage and has invested in new mobile outbuildings for his chickens

with ring in for them that i phone and we're actually getting 3 of these in total. they cost a lot of money. so of course it's not something you do in your 60, but our son said he's more interested in poultry road through the air van. so the future of the harm is looking secure and the sustainability concept of the past 30 years is said to continue eggs and meets are 2 sources of protein. another excellent source is c food. but once again, it seems endorsed. proficient has cost more ham than goods. not only is specie loss are huge problem. stocks are also brindley at an alarming rate. the good news is that fishes are increasingly discover in ways of farming seafood. more south terribly. here is one example of that from italy.

ah, it's an icy 7 o'clock in the morning and goro, and the harbor here on the po, daughter is draped in a thick fog providers. pies, auntie, it doesn't make setting out any easier. i know you tried to navigate by orienting yourself to certain lan marks, but on mornings like this and when the fog navia, which we call cali, go his so thick. got it. it makes navigating difficult to ship it any feature that will very difficult. his father fish the adriatic before him, but to day but us harvest clams bungalow. where and how much that can that changes every day? let's see it. oh, i got it at eva mandel, michelle in the evening. we get a message from the co operatives. you don't mind telling us what zone we can fish when we can set out, do you need. and when we have to return to lot audio and how much we can bring

ashore, it piece of that for a little bit, but they glide for a half an hour through the silent lagoon. then suddenly the quiet ends. the clam fishers appeared from the fog like ghosts 1500 men and women worked the go to lagoon. bad as finally reaches as a sign zone is not deep, but it is cold. to loony gl model pascal that susan bonnie: it's the only way to warm up your hands when they're cold. ammonia, ammonium all come all the clam. fishing is more like forming the c bed than traditional fishing. the goto, fisher's harvest. almost $14000.00 tons of mollusks each year. well, up today we can all harvest 30 kilos. they suck the mollusks out of the

sand with a special device. the water is 6 degrees celsius just right for winter. but in recent years, the temperature has stayed around 11 degrees celsius. climate change is also affecting the po, delta noise we video, mac come to our mental lima. we observe the effects of climate change here when the sea level changes aqua, when the shock a wind blows or during the phases of the moon, the fuzzy lunar video, ones that are c gumby. i mean typically that we also see the effect of climate change when we find fish i demolish and crab species that we've never seen here before. it showed that the b value jonetta king, but he manion of it. that's why clam farming is important. he says to help protect the climate liquid key, the shelves are made of calcium carbonate, go out to the car, which is just captured carbon dioxide. lenny that he did carbonic at the university of florida. professor elena thom bodine has authored

a study on the impact of muscles on the climate. it confirms would grow fisher's argument. so could be more rules can be mildly as they grow mollusks for michelle in that capture c o 2, charlotte, oak, 2, and i'm gonna if i harvest sticky, little of clams would add to c. o. 2 emitted for their commercial use is much less than this year to captured by the clamshell as they grow said he already spec dot you had what? that's the surprising thing or should that have been good, you know, don't look at this when i was that was i sort of put in the lagoon. the good old fishers now form. it doesn't molar species over 10 square kilometers 7 years ago. but us and the other fishers launched another climate friendly project. farming, oysters from the mediterranean, using the tides. ah, me confirmed assuming dalia. we're the only oyster producers in italy. how don't others look now? it's low tide or? yeah. and these baskets with a young oysters are hanging in the air and the sun or yeah, yeah,

sold gwendolen when the tide comes in with this entire zone will be flooded after your lego hooked up to slightly like waste. and oh okay. um i believe was that you know what a very nice loose and festival i fully funded me, lead me there from 2020 shod to me to vain. let me live in the fissures calder, oysters golden goro and sell them to chop shafts all over italy. but above all, bodice loves one thing about his work li built on his to so the, it's that sense of freedom lemma. a you follow the ebb and flow of the tides and the phases of the moon crystal alicia, you are part of this beautiful world. our world, the po, delta, preserving this world and ensuring its future providers and the fishers of goro, it's their life's work. back to africa now they on go in

climate crisis is forcing those to be more for gold. with our most important results, us, you guess it's water in legals, less than 40 percent of people have access to clean drinking water. this equation is similar. kanyes, capital nairobi where the poorest residents leaving terrible conditions now of private sector initiative is introducing innovative technical solutions to help them just one touch of the sensor and clean water flows from the machine is changed barrel akin jeez life. my did not breath any therapy. the water we get is clean, affordable, and easily accessible them. berella congee has left all her life in monterey. one of the biggest slums in nairobi. those 22 years have been governed by a daily struggle for clean water. she had to walk long distances to go to point in

constant fear of being attacked or getting sick from the water to come. what matter? the dirty water gives people diarrhea. they drink it because they have no other option. like, what are you? my half a 1000000 people live in maturity and very close quarter settlements like this one, keep growing. and so just the need for water. the cities are exploding and plans. you have mine love people coming from the countryside, settling down in the cities in them. that's not on the map of the providers, so i'm not getting what i'm boost gay from you and how baton sees. another problem . there is a backlog of infrastructure development over the years because what's a company's a government? i've not invested enough to maintain the site. so we have very old, so what's

a network that's leaking? and on top of that co toes of control the they may charge extortionate prices or sexually exclude young women for water. they're really can feel safe now that she can get her water from the machine. it's charged as a fixed rate and she doesn't need to carry cash. yes. then if i have 10 canyon shillings on my chip, with that last me up to 3 days before i could only get 3 jerry kinds of water without money, that the users receive about 10 times as much water for their money. now, kenneth window from the supplier much malawi, had his work, cut out, trying to convince water companies and authorities to back the idea. when you got to them, mister waller, you are not very popular. i think one of the biggest impact is to get organization . and to do is to think about technology, do you think acknowledge is being 2nd are very good. one of the things we see now

is that notion of the prepaid, what a t m. so we have is anybody is becoming more efficient, no operating costs. so one of windows main arguments staff are only required for maintenance, and this is actually helped to defeat conflicts in some places. areas where they will probably 50 help you more. but if you are, let's say, from your parents, bridgewater, from me, because the attendance events for fixing that water. now, this doesn't happen. people are indiscriminate to use. the technology comes from end to day in the netherlands and tom lay. palo was working in africa for an 8 project when he came up with an idea to better regulate the water supply. on sir joseph presents his token, the fell so open and the flow material measured the amount of water is after g, s. m modem is size and as the car to store older transactions,

the machines sunday to run consumption to the cloud. this allows supply and demand to be regulated, or is he all the systems in my time down here, crunchy revenue for one. what's important there are already around 800 of these pay as you go to dispenses in kenya and some neighboring countries. fortunately that's been very little vandalism so far there really kenji comes here several times a day. she says that with this new clean water supply, stomach upsets or thing of the past. we've come to the end of this edition of eco africa. thanks for joining us. do come back again next week until then. i am chris alone say good bye from logan states nigeria . well, before i sign off, i do want to remind you to please check in with us any time on our social media
