because of her courage and how she thinks most rain. so today, wise mother annoyed for nearly 4 decades. she's for the piece for me, for brace of freedoms in your home, then they run in spite of fall. very true tries on children should not inherit science from us the an income. if you look into the nice, just don'ts, july 29th on d, w. the vis planet needs protecting. it's the only one we have. and that's why we have collected a bunch of is firing environmental stories for you. welcome to echo africa,

brought to you for most an idea to get the with a partners in uganda. and dr. avella, i am personal lives in lagos, nigeria. hey greece, and welcome from uganda. i am sandra torino, 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 because you a such a good mix, 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 author. a shocking, great double forest watch, sees 4 percent of its trees coloring in nearly a minute. hicks is of going since 2000. 1 big reason is that people are still

cutting down for us to make firewood, but there are other ways to cook. we went to find people who are fighting against the 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 the cuts that he's brought to. he's next, i'm the innocent. paula sub simple has also benefited financially since he switched to cooking. we buy a fuel about a year ago. it's not going to run, you know, move, saving us, ever saving. got the big kits of helped me to save money. i used to spend 30000, you've got an serious on chuckle every 2 days. 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 start getting up, losing them on, on the bus you. oh, that's cool. 3 rashid simple, crispy snack is made from by

a dependable my to like a good, comfortable 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 by 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 under sites. the idea was people did in 2011 where they 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 $50.00 for a station. you're going to have money, large scale commercial chuckle, production in some regions. and for us to authorities, points to buy a fuel as a sustainable alternative of the goods can be made from leaves. the goods can be made from of cats. what the good of cats, if you are cutting team. but for example, what about you throw away which you don't need? you can go ahead and are mindful scientist americans law agrees that's eco friendly because it can be an affordable step in the clean energy transition. but you see the government needs to provide incentives to encourage more production then it's giving it's a priority to, to push these the innovations to move to a higher level factor 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 we catch a sick to healing tombs, 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 at some point us due to vendor rushing simplot knows 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 chuckles, which you can find on almost every street coronado model. sometimes we have to order them phones. sometimes they run out of the charge of who i'm of them all are going to address that the well it's training communities to make the own because that in time is helping to empower women. and as i know flu residents going well beyond supplying the neighborhood with their own energy sauce

a lot. if i'm on my and some done by the time people call on line that we learn to make the bring kids to supply or needs. that's what's also sol solved for extra income, and i'm, well, you know, if a child needs a book for school, for example, we come back to that. we've also started receiving skiing, our members slaves, and to facilitate almost a center. even though life little bit kids do create emissions of their own. but replacing woods based fuels, the hope is that to, candice 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 threes 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 done to the rest of africa. to vote example from

here in uganda, it shows that people can actually find alternatives to home for practices on next report. demonstrate 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 uh, 3 book take farming which is growing crops in britain, live stocks on the solar panels. this almost gets to generate par. i'm at the same time, cross anonymous, get much needed shelter from the sun. we checked out some examples in africa and germany. i have here in germany. the thing to not do this is either butte, a delegation from along. we is visiting an agricultural project and how to know a town outside berlin. growing on this farm crops are being grown under solar

panels. the visitors from africa are here to see exactly how it works. yeah, i mean we have a model for measure, but that just depend on uh, using the whole, you know, so we can do much because we don't have the capacity to have machine natalie 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 2 things for beat the i agree will take 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 let's in plenty of daylight, but blocks potentially harmful direct sunlight. another advantage of the system is that the billing components can be recycled. this is looks dollars less. it's

a 100 percent steel and glass enabled the last 50 years in africa. and it can all be recycled high 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 good. that's good and kind of think y'all is trying to hunt when 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 in africa. we also have to use drip irrigation to a vegetable cultivation. so when you will help companies pick a certain regions are now just completely arid. and so we collect the rainfall there is and dispenses in small doses using a pump powered by solar energy and all 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 us 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 force, the effects of to oftentimes 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 set up. that's why it has good fresh water lake throughout the country. one 3rd of the country is what water. but when we go to a neighboring countries, for example, between up routes, 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 cell economy in the 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 some farming has been exploring how food, cultivation, and solar energy production can be combined. the researchers have been experimenting with different soil bases for the plants. yeah, it is an image and then the kitchen, we were plenty. it's the readings. totally, because it did because she knew up into wonderful in here we are using quick all 5 of us 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 as

there are 2 vegetable seasons a year in winter, broccoli and cali, flour are grown and in summer tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers. 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 wreak havoc on 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 gateway. climate change is good, i think conditions with farmers no need to protect the, 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 at 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 and 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 is hoped that solutions like these will help improve food security in africa. well, also creating new, high quality, skilled jobs for the people here. the a country with plenty of sun is tanisha. well, there's just not enough water. these north african countries has been suffering from severe drought for yes. in 2023. the government restricted using war tough for drinking farming as truth clean in is especially tough for farmers. but we met 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 him, takes great pride in his special plans. they don't have a routes and so that direction will to get the technique actually sites was like i would say, stickler piece of what satisfied your 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 simple. we are going to step with conventional funding methods. most of the water sucks into the source and tenicia. that means transporting the water over long distances. that's why farm is here. i'm looking to be more efficient and there was

a usage. but that's not the only advantage of hydroponics because the problem was 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, have his own melons. hydroponic funding requires up to 80 percent less such a license. business is booming. skolnik has some stuff have has so for double this revenue and band, 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 bit. we share your story. 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, we will look at one of the cool initiatives that the 2nd recognition of for unique parts of syrians, coastline village weavers finches then pellet goods. a, just a few of the birds spc founding jewelry, big on the west coast of certainly is the best place for, but spotty is always on the water. it's a veritable power dies says of delight golda yarn and it is very important. beautiful. you have was little biodiversity, especially in any bird species. and 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 says of title much slats and mangrove forest. the cover an area larger than $46000.00 football fields. these wetlands that were habits for migratory birds such as headphones and wages. your rebate is popular with local, but in 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 but spaces in the more remote parts of certainly you. these have never been properly studied but when it's all legit information and the birds they manage to support is entered into an app. this also helps them recognize species in, in the january 2023 cents is divided into $544.00 species. i'm counted

a total of more than 22000, but it is important because to the app you will be able to see so many bad so many species of then defend especially the may, gets the bads the fro is. buds. how the flying the sounds, your rebate is an important but fragile habits for books. even though it's a marine protected area, some of the mangrove forest have been clear to make way for farming. what to use the wood to make chuckle. 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 the fact that you're asked 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 reading research, it also was done by surfaces. it was midway through us dots. we have more than one percent one because that seems to be fraud by themselves. so that's the rums of the, the, the orange. so the cloud systems runs a flight for a new toilet. you small must se unofficial rams. the certification would not only help boost conservation in the country, but also to where is it budget to us are a small but increase and be significant aspect of the countries tories in sick to sir leo and is attracting, growing numbers of enthusiastic bud watches to hold off on the 20 i was that's, i'll be great. but towards into i do. yeah, lot of budd company on top it towards what, what started me into. i do, especially like international work for me to issue. i knew the guys in the decrease

in television, especially in but towards which i was using to source in my family for the price wise. 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 on spaces 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 expand 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 birds and right across the country. we have uh full body cloths and the result is we had about 40 members and those kinds of visions besides those sort of little retrenchment. po, when he's bought club members, give them the we and his bring them on board and see the needs of bug 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 be appreciate it. less of that to approach catch is on know from bed to supply this or actually to supply them on the crime. boston vigilante has been supported on the streets opening julia where he's coming up, trouble over different kinds. we wayne's, to meet the most novel with a very suspicious superpower. environmental awareness of action is, is reward out and about, and then i dread sound the 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 close to and i started having positive results, people started taking this serious and i'm happy up. i do says joining me before and i'm all co sign i buy development done before. phyllis is mission goes far beyond just cleaning the streets. he wants to inspire others to stop careless, be throwing the way that dr. dr. to walk a lot of fun. what kind of cool read what like the about modeling my doctor to him essentially made an impression, ability markets. it all. so i told you about why, but i'm going to do so i started using my eyes. what do you do now that you let you know what? by 2 to 4 years i address population has been growing rapidly. and so has the

amounts of garbage generates, as many people simply dispose of that trust in the streets, the lack of a functioning waste management system makes things worse. so environmental safety pain need to take matters into their own hands, which are not all weights onto god means, 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 release the fund is ensuring that the environment is most does the food for his needs. the environment is also in thoughts for the coming generation to use for our environmental off. you saw plants we need to, you know, i hear the i think and that's in the ration for may so nice to understand the importance of keeping the environment, clean risk management. jonathan, i'm not looking for makes it clear. it does have to be a super hero. high, it's something they can do themselves, less of,

less of what i do is so important because i see wake up in the morning and i do see where it's ever where i and i want to see this 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 more payments or supply demand and clean it up, the streets, fight in the crime, but garbage, the, what a guy, what's best probably demand says anyone, can we have the mosque? well, it's good bye from nigeria. thank you for watching. and by for me right to and you can to, if you want to know more about it, go off again. just look on social media and we'll see you next time, some place, some time by the the

and the military is being modernized. japanese, yours are interested in the service. the truth we want is of the d. w.

and suddenly he gets to the forefront of his empire, some people and you think nothing about this is right opposite. what is the most dangerous on seeing it in the world, the funds of a k, a call lead dialed the 70 on d w. the stopping climate change. that's what they're aiming for. the filters, every zones of the earth will become you literally uninhabited. up the today we're talking about 50000000 refugees in the future, we're talking about billions assisting. it's no longer

question of whether we get out of coal, oil and gas, put land on the assume about commitment and the about visions and the people behind the, the way we want to achieve re thinking in society, the burden catastrophe. climate change starts july 13th on dw, the, the,

the, this is the, the, you know, he's coming to live from berlin. turkeys leaders says he may finally agree to let sweden join nato, but there's a catch present ad one says other alliance members will have to open the doors for turkey to join. the european union is pitch comes as native leaders prepared to meet for the annual summit. or the war and ukraine is top of the agenda.
