to assess when it is simple, it's easy to maintain and to reach. the initial test are already underway. how does the new tractor measure up to africa next on d w these places in europe are the record step into a venture. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters, discover some of us record breaking site on google back to and now also in the book form the welcome to this new edition of echo offered a co production brought to you by jim this dw,

my generous on those television and you've gotten this mtv, which is represented the show by my wonderful co present to sandra. oh, thank you so much, chris, on it is good to see you again. and of course we do have a good show coming up. should be here on april of how a truck does. i'm making fun. make easier in london. why? baseball trees are so important for nature protection on the fight over the dodd costs result. water in front of the well is to list long island creatures on i think the also look rather lovely jewels. suddenly they are fewer and fewer of them because even to us, of being poached in being drugs for them meet or their quotes,

or even because people believe in the human pause or the ok. now let's just take a look at the close solve and see in kenya, but he's especially dedicated to the protection of xerox. from the outside. this looks like a brucell catcher. but these game keep is one to transpose. this threw off to safe a ground on the mainland, rising bullshit levels. unlike the rainbow, attend section of the drops conservation area into a 9. and so in 2021, the router wildlife conservancy managed to relocate 7 stranded animals, all of them endangered rules. child's drugs, distinguishable by the white low legs. it was over a decade ago that the conservancy in the local communities 1st joined forces to create a century photographs. but a few years ago, money to read the spaces, it became clear that those stranded on the nearly imaged island was suffering badly

. the island this the unlooked of telling us number one of the draft and the constant attack the by the 5th. second, there was a list footage that there was a talk by phone that could strangle the young ones and also the crocodile. so comparing the island on the mainland, we saw that the, the telling is i'm more united than letting me know rhodes towards drugs. so mainly found in savannah like here in the ringo region in kenya and neighboring uganda, only about $1400.00 can still be found today. the numbers have been greatly reduced mainly due to poaching. but with the involvement of the community, the situation is improving helped by a 17 square columbus, a drop century established within the root co conservancy. the an animal's uh, watched over by ranges and members of the tweak of

a lindsey or 2 rough god, initiative robots, buddy, you is one of them having grown up here. he knows a lot about the giraffes to uh, click on it and uh, we can do that from the when we were children. and then what we have the code that the roads challenger read, originated from the ring the funding and was called the ringo duran is i'm going to have the, oh, it's me, it was said to be very sweet young black. and that's good. and i'm, and the bone, you know, can be a very special type of fat that people used for medicinal purposes. one of the common dollars today would match, as most to him is that the animals can strive and reproduce. the monitoring team regularly checks a numbers and checks out for injuries. at the moment, they were 14 rough childs drops in the recovery area. the initiative, not any benefits the giraffes, but also the people who live here. the old thomas, i'm the po coat. these pistol communities have

a long history of conflict of animals and grazing them. be know a piece around the vehicle have you i'd like to know. i've seen when the 2 held us from the to community set down the see that we need to do a way life consultancy. we need to lead to this. uh, let's change it off. so it must be known as a medical draft symbol of unity in the stuff network when somebody show so that it can bring the 2 communities together. but to do this, they needed both land and to ross, which had disappeared from the rainbow. each community contributed land and the conservancy brought in h wolf childs drops from another nature was us. meanwhile, community members are also beneficial, especially if people have found jobs as ranges, older off guards like rutledge putty on the communities also receive a portion of the conservancy is income, which they mainly use to pay children in school fees. the kids have also developed

a respect for the animals not the telling the giraffes are good because they helped me generate revenue from tourism. but we did the best of funding, and they also fertilize the soil, authentic window and the welcomed young as the project is supported by international in g o's, and is now well accepted by both communities to go to the we can now talk about how to protect the animal and at the thought, yeah, i mean how we can develop guidelines to protect them. but in the past, due is what that process and what we can do and create new employment opportunities and what new things we can introduce so that we can continue to grow. and i've got another we have really benefited since bringing these animals here. the developers have settled in, well, at the century. the numbers have nearly doubled in the past decade from 8 to 14,

and their own little babies on the way to the females of pregnant from the beautiful landscape in kenya to the sun. this you are out in the fields on here and loud, throbbing engine, and the smoke of the stench of diesel is the really progress. what do you think? well, anyone who wants to trade in the rocks for a truck to just really has to buy a diesel powered vehicle while there are more environmentally friendly alternatives . we went to a farm is rhonda webb, if you say that you track the role model for others. it's just a normal working day for members of the do core and cooperative nicky, galle, the village is still the fields by hand. the many help as a busy for weeks to, to the shock. cultivating a large area like this using just hose is difficult. we do it because there's no

other options either. if we had a cold evasion machine, we could produce more with less effort 0 c, tractors, around. but also in the older vehicles that we no longer wanted to go to. they tend to be noisy and the diesel is also not always available. and rising fuel costs means that the often economically on viable from the outside in the solution looks remarkably similar to a 2.2 contractor with a 27 post card in june. but the motor is electric, the pallet, a gentleman call me cuz village this e tractor prototype along with the university of to galli. and the guys that german development agency. it's a convert that dive of tractor into and electric truck until you see we just replace the diesel engine with an electric motor and put the battery on top of that . and that you'll see the sloping desk. you'll see the 2nd battery on this desk.

and when you come in here, you can move forward and back down. then with that you can release the battery. and so look back and put the full battery on the truck to itself and can then resume working. the batteries are charged using solar energy, solar electricity isn't just clean. it can also be used of great early off of route one days actually connected to the clint burnett. my ends between and his team from data visitor for one day, a working on making the batteries more robust so that the track to consume go to work on the dusty some the fields. rhonda need eat that fall under control, make any addition to be user friendly because of for a using the in the police are further the 8 to maximize the productivity. agricultural product to this d is the one that has to increase its every cultural productivity to help feed it's

rapidly growing population long periods of drunk linked to climate change or increasing the pressure to make finding more effective and sustainable. the fact that the track to is intended for use and more remote areas is a particular challenge for the developers in the team of fi w engineer who the language the main point is to make an electronic contract or as simple and easy as possible. because it should be easy to operate. and the other thing is this, when it is simple and easy to maintain and to retail, to make the check to suitable for working for london fields. the prototype has to be further improved. and is that so the team of developers traveled through the country speaking to potential future uses wherever we want to import,

how that's successful, the bid design and what 3 to be the task of that's the next task. and we also want to, to take into account some of the activities that tend to bid down to buy. that's correct . and plowing isn't the only job the tractor should be able to tackle here. remember when to productivity of funding areas can only be increased if other funding jobs can be automated as well. the developers of testing whether it can be harnessed to help educate the props. to them we have testing the problem being well putting it on an electric truck. so you can use it for code division using your, your plow that could be a display. then you can also hook up the planter to roll for planned types can food, then you can use it for planting and then other tasks, then we can use the truck dies for spring, that is your crop protection for pest and disease tasks that have been counted down

from on monday, up to now, many from us cannot imagine that the check to is going to be ready any time soon. but they do realize what a difference it might be. sure i knew there really is such a tractor and it's available to us. it will be seen as a liberator, for farmers, because we won't have to work so hard to get our work done. the chapter is going to be ruled out in 2024. the idea is that it will be purchased back into the village rather than an individual found that managed by cooperative. the vehicle will make a lot of task easier. so don't forget to bring the same and the concert side this time and gone to the ball, but is the only 3 approach africa, it's a profit sign of nature. many people use the lives for different purposes will have to what fits it with respect, it's deserves physics. doing your bits past the answer when

the dry season has passed and the bo babs sprout their leaves again, women and gone up set out to harvest. it's hard and dangerous work because bobs can grow to more than 20 meters high and the women have to climb to the outermost branches to cut the leaves. in the past, they'd only harvest for themselves, but now there's also demand for the leaves at international markets. yeah, regardless, 1st time you head out to collect the leaves of us then that they are going make soon with some of them they don't and dry. some of them have to sell it the market in neighboring to jennifer, so yeah, yeah, that's me of that. for the trees. this is a fatal development. little by little bol babs, had been disappearing from the region was you're kind of what i'm doing. the pain

is not going to full for some years. and the woman when it didn't leave the tree to stay after dozier for food, thinking to every year to keep cotton, cotton and cutter. so that is, that is all time except in the lives. how there's time on the decline in nature of the police. that's why julie is our achia from the organization. indigenous initiatives and sustainability is working to end this destructive harvest in practice. it goes to the affected regions to provide training on how to manage the trees sustainable in the end, you also runs nurseries that read about or the seedlings go to local families who plant them on their land. this gives them the chance to make some extra income, while at the same time, helping to health the disappearance of these iconic trees in gonna and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website,

or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your page we share your story from africa to europe. now it's almost a getting dry of by the year front is particularly affected. so far, most of worried about drugs never the less. they are reduced plans by the french government to collect rewards and huge quantities. we wanted to understand why people gathering by the thousands to protest at a construction site. the demonstration took place in western france in march 2023. when police intervened, the situation turned violent, resulting and serious injuries on both sides and.
