9:30 pm
the 16th edition of d, w. 's, global media forum. what do you see? it really is possible to reverse page researchers and scientists all over the world. for in a race against time. they are peers and arrivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the boy likes watching it on youtube dw documentary, the the wild animals and woods. uh, those are the topics in today's echo offer to show our welcome from the crystal
9:31 pm
lives and they're going to state nigeria, and i'm not alone on the show today. hello, sandra. thank you, chris, and yes, it is a big hello for me to sandra to, you know, do want to use guns as capital complex. so would like to ask you to come along and jane is on a journey. of course, the confidence lease is what is coming up shortly for the next half hour. community in gun. this is taking care of a 100 percent. all separate crocodiles of prototype for what a treatment age is. south africa's drinking more disgusting and deciding nation planting somebody is supplying how source back with water. but fost, we are often involved with home to some 85th street. thousands of on an elephants of to books on it. it has the 2nd largest wild elephant population in the world
9:32 pm
bought the on the thread. and as is so often because the causes a complex climate change is forcing people to leave the villages instead of close to the la fonts watering cause. and that can lead to conflict between people and the animals and one project. instant bobby is finding solutions, is the one getting national park in zimbabwe is a power dice for mammals inputs zimbabwe largest. the national park is also home to some $45000.00 elephants, only neighboring bucks. one that has more of the endangered african savannah elephants. philip cooper. oh, god grew up here. today. he works for the i f, a w, the international fund for animal welfare, the animal rights activist, advises the park on how to protect its elephants without the funds these know stuff on a cost issue,
9:33 pm
because the funds will equal system engine yes or equal system governments uh, the brake wolf uh, big branches uh to create a dress planes independent dress planes. and by that nature, le funds travel long distances. and this is the transverse uh, this equity as teams. uh, the pick ups is. uh, that's the dispatch. the elephants are hunted down by poachers for that tasks. the pop ranges do their best to protect them, but they have a huge area to patrol parks. 14600 square kilometers, a guided by betty $200.00 ranges. that's why the i s a w is helping out they provide and to poaching training refresher courses and support the work of k 9 units. the organization has provided pock management with the equivalent of 2500000 euros since 20. 19 a lot of money. that the puck is using also to construct
9:34 pm
a new buildings and buy equipment such as walkie talkies. but the rain just know that you know project can work without the support of the local population. there is no little talk with me, dear. listen. so begin to patch into the communities. you will notice that the issues of 14 will be difficult to, to address. so i didn't put under took, you know, this much i'll even is convinced. but what, what do you use to come up with the project so that the community themselves, what headlight is benefits or full stain close i would say with the, with what life. but one source of conflict is water. that's because both the animals in the park and the people living in the area depend on the same or of us for drinking water. the elephants are the most dangerous competitors at the but don't the river park ranges have implemented a new plan. the people in the village of my tennessee now have their own bull holes
9:35 pm
for water. that's a huge relief for somebody impala and the other villages i have that enjoys that. i didn't just life. i it was risk gate. i'm assuming we avoided fetching most here at the river in the morning and evening. we also tried chasing away the elephants by making noises with talent, and sometimes we would even burn plastics and the oil is at the none of that helped zim book and the i s a w have so far drilled wells and full villages on the edge of the one getting national park, thanks to solar powered pumps. tanks, with a capacity of 10000 liters can be filled around 1200 of the 20000 people living in the one get area, get their drinking water at these bull holes. when they have time park ranges, reach out to the community to discuss the plight of the animals, but they don't have enough personnel to do it on a regular basis. and they have too little thought about the animals migration car.
9:36 pm
i just wonder we equipment. it is what to expect according to us and the cartridges from pox basically to help us up with the quote, this quote, it was out to identify your quote and i live in 42. 11 is quoted to us. if this quoted the open this what unimaginable passed away and call in the comfortable in the, of what he does. because if it pay movement fitting that they have the animal welfare activists face. another big challenge, climate change, less rain and more frequent droughts cause distress for the animals. the i s a w is planning to build water catchment areas to alleviate the problem. we hope by some of the, you know, 50 feet of asians that we apollo to here, including uh, pen school being where we m 12. is this much natural remote as possible into, into this. what happens that way. we might, if it tries to adapt and mitigates the impact cindy fix or try me change the
9:37 pm
elephant population here is driving. it's 3 times larger than an elephant population usually is in an area of this size. what we can do is to make sure that between the do, frayed, call high because for the funds, you know, projected daddy, as you know, they come into areas, we create enough safe space for the animals to be able to disperse much right. the protection program has been a success so far. the officials involved was biggest national park say that hasn't been a single case of poaching in 3 years. ella, fonts, a search majestic pieces. and it's possible to emphasize enough how essential they also are ecosystem list on that topic for biodiversity and wildlife. but let's move
9:38 pm
from punch it down to the time it does right. sun dress. next report is a balls, crocodiles. now most people are afraid of these people land per datas. after roles they commonly dooms all day in the water. and then suddenly attack dupree i like means beads. what? nothing pug town in northern donald this is part of a town in northern gonna. if you want to wake the souls of the dead, you need to bring a live chicken. according to the legend, the souls of the ancestors live on inside the crocodiles lurking in the village. ponds that are local, i'm not listening. they're actually surprisingly friendly. bunch are to go to frontier inducing drugs if it talk to it. ready it will hear you if they hear language telephone, if it is moving, and you ask it to lay down,
9:39 pm
is it when it goes anywhere? and you call it back? it's individual bad. this is, it won't move again to elanda, doing more than a 100 crocodiles live in the pond. some of them are at least 80 years old, but despite their venerable status, they're not doing well. the pond is full of plastic waste and it's also drying up. visa, how cool my hama has been bringing tourists here for a long time. they come to see the team crocodiles. the visitor is bringing a lot of revenue for the town. but my hama says things are changing those this, there were a lot of places around here because there were no houses i don't to, that's that there was enough place. and then the place was so a bushy, and then you can see them forming green by mom because of the climate change. and
9:40 pm
then at the same time, if we're in question to last, let's make the ballistic change by this silly model. a leader is also worried about environmental degradation. whenever he has time, he collects garbage around the pond. he doesn't want his ancestors to have to swim, and plastic waste and a clean pond is healthier for the crocodiles. if you don't remove the plastic waves, the crocodile will think it is food and it will swallow it. this is drew up on your disturbing plastic waste isn't the only problem. more and more houses in factories are being built directly around the pond. these once per steam, babbling brooks have turned into rivers of waste and the water doesn't always reach the pond because it gets used for other purposes, like irrigating crops. even these last green oases are now under thread,
9:41 pm
the population is growing in need space. a good business model for some our chief new like the do you have, you have to separate them through. so this line and they still have them. so i still have the fulness, maybe one d. we may lose here because it's very important to us to. we have for you to lose, you see what i see then there's climate change. it's getting hotter and hotter, and there's little rain. another reason that there's less than less water in the pond. residents here want to prevent the worst. although the resources are limited, the noise is the fact that what that for domestic simple bugs in the community. by now what's on on that you're going to come in and fetch water sending to the community. the souls of the dead would be grateful to their descendants if the pond
9:42 pm
is preserved and the survival of the pocket crocodiles is an important symbol of biodiversity preservation and gonna, which has already lost more than 40 percent of its wetlands. even if the truck or dials attain, i don't know if i really liked to go there. us uh tal risk. there are certainly some less risky, a cold tourism attractions not fall from venice. italy, for example. there is a very special amusement park created by bruno firing. he's bach offers something truly unique. it's grieving in more ways than one of the can via the how back cause the we you of the day the, the just
9:43 pm
a few of the 37 attractions of the amusement parked ip italian for under the pulses . and it was all built by this man. so the structure, legs out in front of you. straighten them out. yes, that's it creates a now otherwise you will learn with your nose on the rubber because they're not barely. so natalie woman no food answering is 85 years old. he built his 1st spring here off a century ago. he opened actually from the door. yeah. it's always a joy to come here and see what i built up in 50 years. it's a great feeling to be able to say about your own life. and i made all my dreams come true. if you have the imagined match here as soon so see me. i saw him all exactly the face of history and again with the restaurant in 1969, buddhist reading fell in love with this piece of fine as his wife's of wine and sausages. under the populace,
9:44 pm
he started building swings. he told himself everything. everything remained very bad. he made a go, i only ever went to elementary school, but i've always understood numbers when it comes naturally to me, working on weights and counter wait for my attractions. left me a buzz on my you know, if we double horse, i make mistakes at times and have to adjust the right that they're too heavy before the slope isn't right. double vocal behind a normal it's everything is special about preventive ins punk is that none of the attractions required electricity. they use the laws of physics and the muscle power of visitors. the newest attraction is the kind of so he has the idea for it of to watching a tv repose about a training facility for most of us are north. this carousel is powered by these bicycles operated by visitors when you peddle the carousel spins, the faster it spins, the more the centrifugal force increases,
9:45 pm
causing the seed frames to move backwards from the center. the well other amusement pucks face case, due to rising electricity costs putting out for when is forging ahead. i'm planning for the future for summer as the energy prices are through the roof proper. so i'm thinking of installing dynamos on every right to harness the energy from all the equipment moving around. that's my plan. if i applied on a large scale, that idea would fulfill the strategies of some will lead is i wouldn't be very happy on a part like mine. i mean because of everything. what like this, if you could no longer sell gas to italy? no one else. yeah. there's been no accidents in the decades long history of his punk who knows who in says nothing escapes him. so i don't want to sit down young man to come on. 6 there's nothing you need to sit down because it's
9:46 pm
dangerous. yeah. he knew you maybe they don't read the science really. that's how would tell you ins are that morning in germany, science or law, but here in italy, they're optional. maybe i'll read them. maybe not. that's how it works in italy. why is that? you have to go around? $50000.00 visitors come to the park every year. it's open only on weekends and entry is free breakfast. we're in believe it shouldn't matter how much money you have. everyone should have the right to have fun. most visitors buy something to eat and drink and his restaurants making the business sustainable. even at 85, he's still pitching in every way he can. he says the freedom to do what he loves has kept him. yeah. but if i do
9:47 pm
it may be very, it's a beautiful way to live. depending on my mood each day, i decide what to do, isn't that great? my dear, that's the poetry of life. that was, that was one that he's devoted to his amusement puck the. now back to africa for this week, 2nd big topic. water is essential for life on us, but it is becoming increasingly squares due to climate change. both comes oven, brick and water. i'm finding new and different ways to obtain it will be key when it comes to adapting to the changing situation. it did please take south africa, for example, since 2015 with pizza. drones have caused a major water clients to stay and keep tone drumstick, or to retain measures hot to be implemented, to store the cds from running dry. think are also started looking around for
9:48 pm
tentative solutions. and basics then gives you hear thoughts story. of natural resources such as gold, diamonds, and iron ore have made south africa rich. but after the mines have been exploited and a band and they slowly fill up with ground water, it's a huge problem. tough since released the pollute, the soil and water in the area. but in fact, all this acid mind drainage as it's called could still be used in progress towards south africa, chemical engineering, void tumult and cut low. because working with the university of johannesburg on building a device that will turn to mines poisonous, waste water into clean drinking water, the prototype and quickest dog can produce $20000.00 leaders of drinking water per day. the waste water undergoes
9:49 pm
a multi stage filtering process in which metals are used to remove poisonous compounds in the water, but the process is still in its infancy. so it will be serving availability of water since you know that we have experienced in south africa will touch his productions. so this can save about a 1000000 people, especially in the could i touch on his big which is very close to 20 percent population of thoughtful of john inspect. so that's, that's what we are advocating for south africa. it's home to some 550 active minds and an estimated 6000 abandoned ones. quite some of them and cod lowe's invention could help to alleviate the points and legacy of south africa's minds. until about you. if you also doing your bit, tell us about it. this is how websites will send us the tweets hash tags doing your best. we share your story
9:50 pm
that's a really existing approach to accessing drinking water. once the blood crisis means that it can only be one part of a patient strategy. if we could use water from an ocean for drinking. they think cooking and a good culture with good auction, eat dramatically old to the lives of millions of people. this report from somalia hospital securing a day supply of drinking water is high book into small your a c t t own somalia is cost the wells are up to 200 meters deep and holding up the water, connie's does is train. yes. let's see, it's rain fully scott's fresh water east to sol, towards the from the nearby ocean in food fits and contaminants. the woods still of
9:51 pm
the country i've met and his neighbors come here most every day. they have no other choice but they're on that list. it's exhausting to draw water from the deep well and it's 22, but they cannot afford to buy a clean or to the last and see if with with my headache i can do it in recent years, somalia has experienced a very low field rainy season. the london loankey smiled is trying out for residents. it's a disaster. busy to grazing lump lift and on the most dying of cost, the ground is so patched. it's hardly what for me. over 2000000. so many guns i've already feeling the effects of climate change. lea, bundle sand from somebody else. maybe it's true of energy and water resources is worried about the future that other can supply. you know what the drought has
9:52 pm
advocacy affected people under likes talking to smile on this one rounding image. so there is a severe, what to strategic is smart when much, even without any rain, help has arrived in the form of a what has to be selling nation plant. it was built by so many business people who wanted to improve the quality in the woods. so they found that they own from highlight level one key. we established the, i'll see what a supply company in case scenario in 2014 of till we saw there was no clean and drinkable water into some iowa. so the bigger candle, when we dive deep wells, we not said that the water was sort of t. and so we bought machines to be selling at the one time and then it was a couple of, i can't them a cannibal. it'd be a minus 40, not really. this would be the government's responsibility. but so maria has been politically tomlin for the kids. the fall
9:53 pm
a i'm sure the government does not collect enough money to taxation. so these no public investments and building the selling nation plans requires mediums of doughnuts and the uh safari. so just the fortune one through the summer. hold on on a little dog at the last climate change conference. so money asked industrialized nations for funds to cover such costs as it produces just a fraction of the walls coupling emissions baby. so the nation plants used to be powered by a diesel engine every time it is expensive to operate and environmental the home for it. but you know, the company is using green energy, big solar collectors and the other plants replace much of the need for fossil fuels . systems also look, i'm look, i'm kind of nice and so on. the other one as well using 15 barrels of these are a day which cost a lot of air pollution from a photo and kylie after we installed this wirelessly steam. so we've got these are
9:54 pm
consumption by 80 percent of the did the oil. we use these as much as at night by 20 have enough for to night. we want to more 10 didn't give i'm a total of what to production has increased and we have low and it's caused by 60 by somebody else as a minute. so i look so sad to keep behind it well, walk on a baby. so the nation plant has been a blessing for people here supplying fresh water to around 5000 households. and because toilet energy has reduced the cost of clean thinking, what's up? even poor russell mondays can know a $42.00 people look here to bite us, it sales put a fraction of the former price. now for him, a promise comes he a regular to she sees by good will to for himself and he'll send me the, the late i used to work to kill me to is to get to,
9:55 pm
to get on with this. and then it is not good to drink because the water was so sort of the team that all went excellent. all for you know, off he brings clean and bring people will tell me right here, close to me. hun it's and i said a total of a sentence. it costs when i got down the window is that loud in june. and that's mid her life. much easier because despite the assistant proud, she still has access to plenty of thinking what to do if somebody is dog gets, was even sold, she will, will tell, will be in short supply. so the head of the water company is to build a plant that will be sending it so to tax straight from the ocean instead of the slow to vote from the web. it's amazing what's possible. and that brings us to the end of today's echo offer to show. i hope you enjoy that and found it inspiring. that's all for me. chris alliance from laguna state nigeria. see you
9:56 pm
next time. so do get in touch with us on all social media channels. tell us about any projects you know that i helping projects on climate would love to hear from you. so from now it is a good 5 for me, sandra 3, nobody writes yet in comp, uganda the . 2 the
