for nearly 4 decades, she's for peace for the for brace of freedoms in your home, then the run in spies have fun. very kind of tries children should not inherit science from us. the an income. if you look into the nice, just the stats, july 29th on d w, the this planet needs protecting. it's the only one we have. and that's why we have collected a bunch of is hiring environmental stories for you. welcome to echo africa brought to you from olson idea to get the without putting us in uganda. and dr. avella,

i am personal lives in lagos, nigeria. hey greece, and welcome from uganda. i am sandra trevino, do write to income class, and i am so pleased to be with you again. this is what we have in store for you this week. why so the pallet and a we called you a such a good makes why hydro pointing funding is making this flush in. can you see it and how spite of mine is helping to fight against an nita in nature. yet let's begin here in uganda, which has been losing its treat called the off a shocking, great global forest watch series, 4 percent of its trees coloring nearly a 1000000 hicks as have gone since 2000. 1 big reason is that people are still cutting done for us to make firewood. but the other ways to cook,

we went to find people who are fighting against big strand in a way rush, it simpler is calling the future of his country on his shoulders. no trees have been failed to make the 25 kilograms of because that he's volts to he's next um the image on file a sub of simple has also been defeated financially since he switched to cooking reply a few will about a year ago. so i'm not going to run, you know, move, saving us ever saving, got the boot kits of helped me to save money. i used to spend 30000, you've got an serious on chuckle every 2 days. i'm going up. if i spend the same amount on the kids, i tend to be for almost a day of the button for much longer. so you can 2nd now closing. i'm going on the bus. who? oh, that's cool. 3 rashid simplest, crispy snack is made from by a dependable, much like a good cultural with it. west has to be couple nights then crushed into a fine powder. this is key for combusting it into a solid,

efficient fuel. so this company is called green bio energy. it's direct uh, heating tone 0 phase. they're continuing to scale up the production of bio fuel as a clean cooking alternative to would fuel. after realization of the challenges of deforestation. 12 growing in uganda in 2011 and before as well as the an employment rates that we existing on the sites. the idea was people did in 2011 with a company would you know that produce and distribute eco friendly solutions. traditional chuckle is made from teen. it's always been in high demand in uganda. more than 80 percent of the population of thoughts to rely on it. but these cheap energy source has come to a very high price, like in much of africa,

the countries and lucrative chuckle industry is responsible for must have deforestation. you're going to have on that scale commercial chuckled production in some regions. and for us to authorities, points to buy a fuel as a sustainable alternative. the goods can be made from leaves. the goods can be made from of cats. what the good old scots, if you're cutting team by, for example, whatever you throw away, which you don't need, you can good couple of days it and then you get the kids and up the kids can be made for them properly. so it is a more sustainable social energy because it to use as an s, and then it is more energy efficient. environmental scientists to me because well, agrees that eco friendly because it can be an affordable step in the clean energy transition. but she sees the government needs to provide incentives to encourage more production then giving it's

a priority to push these the inhibitions to move to a high level fact that people can look at. they might serious, serious alternatives when we stop looking at chuckle. for example, green bio energy is showing the way thanks to the ready supply of bio most waste from the dentist as cost effective. clean tones we was company can time out more than 50 tons of the kids a month, making it one of the largest biofuel produces in uganda. but the supply is still limited as compulsory to vendor rush. it's important news all to well location one . what about do with godaddy? well, there are only a few locations where you can buy these brackets and like the chuckles, which you can find on almost every street corner. sometimes we have to order them. sometimes they run out of the top of them all are going to address that the well, it's training communities to make the own because that's in time is helping to empower women and at the local residents going well beyond supplying the

neighborhood with their own energy sauce. a lot, if i'm on my ass, i'm done by the time people call on line doug on. we lived to make debris kids to supply or needs. that's also sol, solved for extra income, and i'm, well, you know, if a child needs a book for school, for example, week, i'm sorry for that. we've also started receiving school members late fees and to, to so, and it almost was sent to even though life little bit kids do create emissions of their own. but you're placing woods based fuels. the hope is that you've done this for us can continue to approve coupling and phase got biodiversity. one could your, when it gets allow for an estimate of 14.6, good g o c o 2. allstate read cats would also allow for green 3 present vision. and as such, one casual re kits kind of allow for 25 kilograms or ring trees resolved and decide saving the environment if by

a few of the kids can also save people money. they might, will be a big part of the future of uganda. and the rest of africa to lot example from here in uganda shows the people can actually find or tend to tease. so harmful practices. a next report demonstrates how new technology can combine with tradition of funding methods to produce something great to them. the some of the spots. that's right, sandra, we're talking about. i agree, but take farming which is growing crops in britain, live stocks on the solar panels. the problem was, gets to generate palm. i'm of the same time crust. anonymous, get much needed shelter from the sun. which checked out some examples in africa and cabinet i have here in germany. the thing is, this is either a delegation from a law. we is visiting an agricultural project and how to know

a town outside berlin going on this farm crops are being grown under solar panels. the visitors from africa are here to see exactly how it works. and we have a model for measure, but that just depend on uh, using the whole, you know, so we can't do much because we don't have the capacity to have machine now the and everything like to put up to see. so i feel like if, as a government, if we can, uh do, uh, you know, the sort of from me can 10 things for beat the i agree volt, a company son farming has been cultivating fruit, vegetables, berries, and herbs here for 2 years now. so nearly anything can be grown under the solar panels. the modules are positioned at a height that lets in plenty of daylight, but blocks potentially harmful direct sunlight. another advantage of the system is

that the billing components can be recycled, a new economy plus it's a 100 percent steel and glass enabled the last 50 years in africa. and it can all be recycled because the structures can be dismantled and a result of the material has good salvage value and is always in demand. steel isn't always made to all the materials and the modules can be used to build houses or storage shelves from baldwin high. and i'm good, that's good. and kind of think you understand the high wind water flows over the modules. if it's raining or if they're being cleaned, it collects in a gutter system. this distributes the water evenly in the ground. it also enlarges the size of the water droplets, which allows more liquid to get into the subsequent. so the ground stays moist even in dr. periods after i'm assuming you offered 10 africa. we also have to use drip irrigation to a vegetable cultivation tool. and you know, it will help companies to pick a certain regions now just completely arid. and so we collect the rainfall there is

and dispenses in small doses using a pump powered by solar energy. not the summers are also getting dryer in germany here. 90 percent of the crops are grown with the help of a drip irrigation system. that saves water. the electricity needed to power the system is less than one percent of the amount produced by the solar array. the students from the brandenburg university of technology are also monitoring the project to learn more. they're using sensors to study the micro climate. under the modules, they measure light intensity humidity and the temperature both in the air and the soil around the plants, roots into some debts and see at regular intervals. they also measure the rain that's been collected in these containers, wisconsin, so you can see how much the solar panels expand,

the surface area protection rainwater will do in the i'm 50 state and we've noticed that in colder times of year it's significantly warmer. under the modules and in the open air, on average, it's one to 2 degrees warmer under the modules. and we found that during dry spells, it's significantly damper under the modules in the open air points to if that's off the off and then they have animals also feel comfortable in the shade of the silver modules. the piles are driven into the ground and are sturdy enough to withstand changing weather. so there's no need for a concrete floor. the structures serve as airy, light field shirts for the animals sheltering them from rain, hail, storm birds of prey and scorching sun. the visitors from allow we are impressed with the environmentally friendly setup. that's why it has good fresh water like throughout the country once the countries won't work. but when we go to a neighboring countries, for example,

between that one i don't even have like. so if we're going to do a lot of this kind of for me who will be able to sell to a neighboring countries and make money into both sell economy in this supermarket and punch of strong south africa, customers can buy vegetables and herbs produced by some farming split for now only small quantities are available as they come from a small facility built for research purposes. it's located only a few kilometers away. here sun farming has been exploring how food, cultivation, and solar energy production can be combined. the researchers have been experimenting with different soil basis for the plants. yeah, it is an image in italy, kitchen, we were plenty, it's the veterans to study because the kitchen up into wonderful in here we are using corporal fi bus and then raising the solar energy and the plant the both. we

could get a combination no need for diesel generators to produce power. here. there are 2 vegetable seasons a year in winter, broccoli and cali. flower are grown. and in summer tomatoes, bell, peppers and cucumbers. the herbs and spinach are grown all year round. but drought is a growing problem in rural south africa to winter's in the northwest region are dry and cold while in the summer violent thunderstorms and hail storms. rec, haven't gone crops, as does the increasingly fear sun here. agri, well takes or angry p v can make a real difference. the one extreme is wind forming in the waste and the gateway climate change is good. i think conditions with farmers no need to protect it. the crops and the alternative would be in contrast to that,

you also get capital forming way due to climate change. the land is getting so drive if the cutting capacity of the felt is reduced and with a repeating, you can increase that and have more capital fake there. in the meantime, the german company has constructed a large agreeable takes plant in madagascar for almost 3000000 euros. the project includes a training facility where locals are trained in this form of agriculture and the use of solar technology. it's hoped that solutions like these will help improve food security in africa while also creating new, high quality, skilled jobs for the people. here. a country with plenty of sun is tanisha. well, there's just not enough water. these north african country has been suffering from severe drought for yes. in 2023. the government restricted using war tough for

drinking farming as through the clean it is especially tough for farmers. but we make one who has great taste to crops with just the fraction of the number. want to use chairs the 6 doing your bits of a tom is going to cast them, takes great pride in his special plans. they don't have a routes and so is that directly in volta and yet the technique actually sites was like, i would say, stickler piece of what's the sense 100 pointing support from conventional finding method. the most crucial factor for us is that it allows us to use 95 percent less of all to perform the slots because the water is in a cycle we recapture in recycling. if heating it back into the system is really disagree. i'm going to stick with conventional funding methods. most of the voices sucks into the source and tenicia. that means transporting the water over long

distances. that's why i found this here. i was looking to be more efficient and there was a usage. but that's not the only advantage of hydroponics because the people who has no water wasted as one element, but the system also saves on fertilizer, which is key is all great key for the plot. us need a new trans solution that's very expensive because it has to be imported from outside soon as you know, with a growing basil to monetize pebbles, omens. hydroponic funding requires up to 80 percent less. fertilizer business is booming. skolnik has some stuff has. so for doubled its revenue and for you 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. the human made climate change,

which is wesley tanisha is drought, is a challenge we will have to face the another is protecting nature's diversity is belinda from damage. wisdom happened when people own aware of the global importance of the places, the leader such as bird breathing and migration areas. one way to avoid that is by international certification. for special bios fair. with a look at one of the cool initiatives that the 2nd recognition of for unique part of their indians coastline. village. weavers finches then pellet goods. just a few of the bud spaces founding jewelry. the on the west coast of certainly is the best place for birds sporting is always on the water. it's a veritable power dies. says of d like delta your of it is very important. beautiful house little bio diversity,

especially in any bird species. on it is one of the most important blazys for that school is a visually, instead of you, your d. b is home to thousands of heck does of title much slats. and then group forrest, the cover an area larger than $46000.00 football fields. these wetlands that are habits for migratory, but such as headphones and wages. your rebate is popular with local burden clubs, founded by the conservation society of 78 and the african book club. the aim is to raise awareness among the locals and whose protection efforts the book club members collect important information about the countries. many need to budge spaces in the more remote parts of certainly you. these have never been properly studied but on it's all legit information and the birds they manage to support is entered into an

app. this also helps them recognize species is in the january 2023 cents is divided into $544.00 species and counted a total of more than $22000.00 birds app. it's important because to the app you will be able to see so many bad. so many species of then defend especially the my good see bads, the forest buds, how the flying the sound, your rebate is an important but fragile habits. for birds, even though it's a marine protected area, some of the men grew forest have been clear to make way for farming what to use the wood to make charcoal. the conservation is one, the area to be designated, rams, the site, a wetlands of international importance. the data collected by the on you thought did you send the book club members helps the a case for a sites for me. so if you qualify as the drums,

i cite one of them to try to figure out if the police should meet the body area the the but for positioning that the, i'll shoot this to represents one question for me for top of the initial board, right on with the research, it also was done by surfaces. it was mid month for us that's we have more than one percent. what on the quote on that seems to be fraud by themselves. so that's the rums of the, the, the orange. so the clock distribution runs a flight for a new toilet, you small must se unofficial ram. so certification would not only help boost conservation in the country, but also to where is it budget was, are a small but increasing the significant aspect of the countries tories and sick to sir leo and is attracting, growing numbers of enthusiastic bud watches to hold off on the 20 yards, that's all we've, we've bought toys and see i do got a lot of fun company on top. it always was what started me

especially like international work for me to issue. i knew the guys did look, does increase in television, especially in but towards which i was using to suspend my family for the flight twice for now, much of the area is completely on spoiled. the man grew forest and the mud flats which both of them and which regularly overflow home to come and speak seems such as grey heroines, but also endangered species. the conservation society hopes the growing popularity of bud clubs, will help protection efforts. why the bar us globe. i important is to expound the knowledge of the young citizen scientist while coming up in the open your mindset in terms of about cons of asian. and why is the import until comes out, broads, and right across the country. we have uh, full body close in the regions we had about 40 members and a school divisions beside officer and retrenchment. port when he's bought club

members, give them the we on his, bring him on board and see the needs of bud protection in the country. the coastal echo system of your e bay is home to some of with africa's richest bio diversity. the local book clubs helping to raise its profile, increasing the chances that this natural habitats will remain intact. it is good to see such a vital buyer tubs. a been appreciated. less of that to approach catch is on. now from bed to supply this or actually to supply demand. the crime of busting vigilante has been spoilt of on the streets, opening julia where he's coming up, trouble over different kind. we wayne's, to meet the most novel with a very suspicious super paula environmental awareness of

action is, is reward out and about and, and i dread sound of a shovel. spider man is on the mission to clean up the streets. the superhero, also known as jonathan a lot, locals, is an environmental activist. he says that having an older ego has really made people pay attention to 1021. when despite a month cost to and i started having positive resort, people start taking this serious and i'm happy about these guys joining me before a normal plus sign i buy development. done before. close is mission goes far beyond just cleaning the streets. he wants to inspire others to stop careless, be throwing away the truck to park the cool red one like the model, dr to one to certainly made an impression ability markets. and it also has to be about why, but i'm going to do so i thought you small as what do you do here now that you let

you know, i hope i go to where he is. i address population has been growing rapidly and so has the amounts of garbage generate to many people simply dispose of that trust in the streets. the lack of a functioning waste management system makes things was. so environmental safety pain need to take matters into their own hands, which are not all weights onto the government, you know, do something for us. we should begin. so we won't teach the government the right thing by ensuring that we said that's the, that's the government itself. cannot him, relates the fund is ensuring that the use environment is most does the food for him . the environment is also in thoughts for the coming generation to use for our america. or if you saw police, we need to, you know, i hear the, i think that generation for may so nice to understand the importance of keeping the environment clean risk management, jonathan around the makes it clear. those have to be

a super hero high. it's something they can do themselves less bless the what i do is so important because i see wake up in the morning that a nice do you see where ever, where i and i want to see is society that is free of ways to look and says it's amazing the difference that just one person can make. so he plans to keep moving into supply demand and clean it up, the streets bite in the crime, but garbage, the, what a guy, what's best buy demand, says anyone, can we have the mosque? well, it's good buy from nigeria. thank you for watching and buy from me right to and you can to, if you want to know more about eco off again, just look on social media and we'll see you next time some place, some time by the the,
