a fire or a station in the rain forest continued carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will change doesn't happen on its own. make up your own mind. a phone lines. the best plan it needs protecting. it's the only one we have and that's why we have collected a bunch of his wiring, environmental stories for you. welcome to echo africa. brought to you from olsen

idea to get the without putting us in uganda. and dr. avella, i am present 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 hoping to fight against nita in nature. yet let's begin here in uganda, which has been losing its treat. call the author a shocking, great global forest watch. save 4 percent of its trees coloring nearly a 1000000 hicks is of going since 2000. 1 big reason is that people are still

cutting done 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 simply is calling the future of his country on his shoulders. no trees have been failed to make the 25 kilograms of these cuts that he's brought to. he's next on the innocent part of a sub. a simple has also been if he did financially, since he switched to cooking reply a few will about a year ago. so i'm not gonna 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 not 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. 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 1st 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 on the sites. the idea was people did in 2011 where the 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 very high price, like in much of africa, the countries and lucrative chuckle industry is responsible for most $50.00. for a station. you're going to have money, landscape, commercial chuckle, production in some regions. and for us to authorities, points to buy a fuel as a sustainable alternative. and 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, but 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 the kids can be made for them. properly, so it is a more sustainable social energy because you to use as an s, and then it is more energy efficient. environmental scientists to me because, well, agrees that's 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 gets a priority to push these the inhibitions to move to a higher 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 come from the state vendor rushing. simplot knows all too 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 in time is helping to empower women and other local residents going well beyond supplying the neighborhood with their own energy sauce. a lot if i'm on my end cuz i'm about to go call on my end. i'm done with lynn to make the big kids to supply or needs. that's also so some 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 from 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 replacing 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 vote example from here in uganda shows the people can actually find alternatives to home full practices. a 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 i agree, but take funding which is growing crops in britain, live stocks on the solar panels. the problem was, 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 gymnast i have here in germany. the thing is,

this is either a delegation from a law. we is visiting an agricultural project in 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 do much because we don't have the capacity to have machine now the and everything like to put up the sea. 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 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 building components can be recycled. a looks dollars less. it's a 100 percent steel and glass enabled the last 50 years in africa. and it can all be recycled. types of structures can be dismantled and resold. 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 thing. just trying to find when water slows 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 subsoil. so the ground stays moist even in dry periods after i'm assuming you offered in africa. we also have to use drip

irrigation to a vegetable cultivation tool. and you know, it will help companies because certain regions now just completely arid. and so we collect the rainfall there is and dispenses in small doses using a pump. it 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 flight 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, storms, 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 like throughout

the country once the countries weren't water. 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, isn't 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. sun 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 in italy, kitchen, we were plenty. it's the readings to study because it did because she knew up into

wonderful in here we are using quick off the 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, build peppers and cucumbers. the herbs and spinach are grown all year round, but drought is a growing problem in rural south africa to the winters in the northwest region. are dry and cold while in the summer while, and thunderstorms and hail storms wreak, have it gone crops. as does the increasingly fear sun here, agri will, takes, or angry p v can make a real difference. the one extreme is wind forming in the waste. ok,

we climate change is good. i think conditions we form is no need to predict the, the crops and the alternative would be in contrast to that. you also get cancelled 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 put it 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 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. 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 years. in 2023. the government restricted using the war tough for drinking farming as truth clean. it 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 is that directly in water. and yet the technique actually sites was that kind of say, stickler present. what sets 100 pointing support from conventional funding 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 is eating it back into the system is really disagreed on a step with conventional funding methods,

most of the water sucks into the source and tenicia, that means transporting the water over long distances. and 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 most know, want to waste age is one element for 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 heather's own melons, hydroponic funding requires up to 80 percent less search. eliza business is booming, it's gone. it has some stuff, have has. so for double this 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. past

a doing your bit. we share your story. a human made climate change, which is wesley taneesha 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 leaving, such as bird breathing on migration areas. one way to avoid that is by international certification. for special bios fair, we don't 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. a just a few of the bud spc founding jewelry. the on the west coast of certainly is the best place for, but sporting is always on the water. it's a veritable power dies,

says a blue light golda yard. it is very important. beautiful. you have was little biodiversity, especially in any but species on it is one of the most important blazys for bed 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 or habits as for migratory, but such as heroines and wages. your rebate is popular with the 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 bud spaces in the more remote parts of certainly you. these have never been properly study but when

it's all legit. the information of the birds they manage to support is entered into an app. this also helps them recognize species. 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, but 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 wetland of international importance. the data collected by the uninstall,

did you send the book, club members helps the a case for a site for me. so you qualified as the drums aside, one of the fact that you're asked if that's the list or did it by the area, the, the, but the positioning that the, i'll show up list represents one question for me, for example, conditioning was right on reading research that's what was done by citizenship? it was mid month. well stats, we have more than one percent without the quotes. all that's needs to be followed by drums. so that's the drums of the the, the, the orange. so you could have access to the rooms aside for a new toilet, just momma says the unofficial ram. so certification would not only help boost conservation in the country, but also to where is it budgeted to us are a small but increasing to be 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 agreed, but towards ensue. i do. yeah,

lot of budd company on top it towards walk because one started me into i do, especially like international work for me to issue. i knew the guy did last day and totally zoom, 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 flaps, 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 club, i important is to expound the knowledge of the young citizen scientist. well clement, up and open your mindset in terms of about cons of asian. and why is the import until comes out of roads and right across the country. we have uh full body close

in the regions we had about 40 members. and of course, the vision is beside australian retrenchment part when he's bought club members, give them the we and his bring him on board and see the needs of bud protection in the country. the coastal echo system of your rebate is home to some of west africa has richest bio diversity. the local book clubs helping to raise its profile, increasing the chances that this natural habits it 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 spite of months, the crime busting vigilante has been spoilt of on the streets, open the jury. yet. where he's coming up, trouble over different kinds. we ways to meet the most novel. we the very suspicious super paula environmental awareness of

action is, is reward out and about. and then i dread sound of a shovel. spider band 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. 2021 has stepped away and in spite of month cost to and i started having positive resort people started taking this serious and i'm happy about these guys joining me before and i'm all close. 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 who certainly made an impression, ability markets. it all,

so i told you about why, but i'm going to do so i thought you small us, what do you do now that just let you know what, what by to key where years address population has been growing rapidly. and so it 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 needs to take matters into their own hands. we cannot all weights on to god means you know, do something for us. we should be dense. we want to teach the government the right thing by ensuring that we said that's the, that's the government itself. canal him we need to know is ensuring that the use environment is most does include for him. the environment is also in thoughts for the coming generation to use our environmental office. ok, please. we need to, you know, i hear the, i think that generation formation needs to understand the importance of keeping the

environment, clean risk management, jonathan around the makes it clear. it does have to be a super hero high. it's something they can do with themselves. less of less of what i do is so important because i see wake up in the morning that a nice do you see where ever, where i'm 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 more payments to supply demand and clean it up the streets, fighting more crime, but garbage, the, what a guy, what's best probably defend 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 someplace, some time by of the

capital in independence society divided by a dream. the extreme right has a long history of exploiting the conflict and is redoubling its efforts. the head of general elections later this year is spain that across roads

closer on dw, perfectly served. this robot will be caring for the elderly but it has a lot to learn before it gets to that point. so this machine operates with a use of applied physics. thanks to an unusual role model. the 19 minutes on d w. the old winning offer is available and for every language learning german

has ever been simpler german to go the i'm not to notice that i love mastery. i've loved her since the beginning because of her character because of her courage and how she thinks. ready ready those readings through today for nearly 4 decades, she's towards peace for the for grades of freedoms in their home, then they run in spite of bump,

very government reprisals and income. if you look into a nice, nice 3 stats, july 29th on dw, the business dw news live from berlin. nato's chief sent a clear signal to ukraine as the summit opened in vilnius against dalton. virg vows that nato allies will send a positive message concerning ukraine's past towards membership of the military alliance. that would be welcome news for ukraine, but it's emissions.
