12:30 pm
that it was recaptured. 6 months later the occupation was hard. how can the legs go on after all the terror? not everyone can do or the fear we felt every day. when russia comes, start to august 25th on dw the offices, and it just acuity is an issue from the cab to cairo means live with all the electricity on those who are connected to the greed leave with frequent blackouts. welcome to a new edition of africa. i am some drug of homes that are coming to from complex, right to any gun to know, let's say a big hello to my colleague t. hi, chris. hi,
12:31 pm
sandra, and hello to you. all of us. yes. energy is off topic once again, but we are concentrating on solutions to the problem. things like renewable energy sources. i am chris alarms coming to you from nigeria, and this is what we have in store for you. this week. also driven motion from jimmy well, soon produced environmentally friendly cross products and by the task of and you wrote best upon the shall pharmacy. i'll come back to him for trade in excel. take wed like a photograph of ambrose, the to do our shows of how animal pull traits on the press 3 to protect the 1st 5 diversity and i did so on. so you can kind of feed africa in numerous ways. it's a jesus dependence on expensive climate damage in force, it feels on it brings energy to remote regions quickly and easily. it also opens up
12:32 pm
new opportunities to find the thoughts sustainable systems. currently, many african countries upgrading or expanding the energy sectors. so this taps is a life saver every day it gives people from nearby village is clean water, something that can't be taken for granted in this rural part of central ivory coast . okay. yep. i know possibly there's no water in our village because there's no, well, yep, that's why we come here to get the water. i mean, the little southcourt is tell jenny c for on the water has to be pumped from under ground, but the area is off the electricity grid instead. solar energy provides the power for the pump from small beginnings, 12 years ago. the settlement which includes a religious center and a home for teenage girls now has full water towers and $24.00 solar panels with a total output of $4500.00 watts. that's enough to power the drinking water
12:33 pm
lighting, refrigeration, and communications. it would you be able to control the beginning? there was only one unit test because there was only one house to supply. this one play then came the girl center monday. and after that the settlement expanded. okay . with 3 new buildings, sweetheart and a little bit, and there were 2 more large buildings. and as time went on, we completed the installation and that's why there are several solar panel arrays here for this. it's not just ivory coast rule of good settlements, but also its urban areas that can benefit from renewable energy. the challenge is how to safely build up infrastructure and ensure reliable supply. in 2022 whole professional associations joint forces to form a federal ration. so they could speak to the government with one voice. for example, when it comes to dealing with surplus electricity, no sweat on one would just have to. we would like to see the sector authorize to feed electricity into the national grid to come up with these when you aren't able
12:34 pm
to consume all the solar energy you produce. and you can't diverted to the grid, you lose out. and that reduces the added value of solar investments like that. and this is a month, oh my goodness. all right, that's a pressing question for investors as ivory coast has pledged to increase the share of renewables in its energy mix to 45 percent by 2030 in the north of the country. the wind, the solar farm, is the 1st of more than a dozen projects aimed at reaching that target. the 78 heck the facility over seen by the state on see i energy cost 40000000 euros. it was made possible by a loan from germany's k f w development bank, and the ground from the european union. as in the call with aiming to produce $5100.00 megawatts of electricity for cookies was including around $400.00
12:35 pm
megawatts of solar power. and we have a number of projects with private sects upon those. but the bungee any power plant is the 1st to be built by the state. building the power plant is expected to generate $37.00 megawatts of power enough to supply $30000.00 households per year. and such projects create more than just electricity. they boost employment. john says, all the women under represented in the green energy sector, the german development agency, g i is, it has set up a mentoring program to counter that. this energy project manager has taken a young student under her wing and is helping her to find an internship for one of you have to take these courses seriously and make the most of them by asking lots of questions. the electrical engineer says she remembers what her career thought was like and really wants to see change. soon done. so. i mean, out of 15 engineers, i was the only woman that's already a problem right there from what we need to raise awareness more generally to tell
12:36 pm
women that it's possible to do this g funk. because it's simple, seem to fit the reflect that the pro fair mentoring project seems to increase the proportion of women in the renewable sector from 25 percent to 40 percent in the near future. a maybe you remember a report with the a few months ago about a co pallets made the bush growth. now young people in month of glasgow working on the project to produce and fire, mentally friendly fuels from view new able sources. what are the same time stopping trees from being cuts down? what is right, crease and the special thing about these projects is that the german college students a quite a bright thing on the projects. the young people from both countries coming together to bring the project a step closer how to make the most efficient, crush, sell it. that's one focus if unions, process must,
12:37 pm
is basis at the center of innovative energy systems that does sort of university union is also working on cooking staves, to optimize the growth pallet fuel and help reduce deforestation. and motor gasket the condition where if you turn to the cold and then we can just deliver more efficiently, those to countries in the global south and say this will help a little and understand by them for what would only have a minimal effect on reducing deforestation. that and that's why we said we also need to develop a more efficient alternative fuel. the original idea came from members of the mother got the student and environmental organization. as you pass. they constructed eco friendly stoves and made fuel pilots from compressed across the students. then brought into local communities for testing. the students from gemini sold the projects during a visit to madagascar. i'm want you to develop it so that what kind of do you feel is in dire need and not a gasket?
12:38 pm
what deforestation has that a massive impact. traditionally, people have cut down to use to make taco fuel for cooking. 6 now only 10 percent of the original 4 is covered, remains at the the staging habits are lost so many spc. so now i don't miss kansas glossy is widespread in southern motor gasket. wherever it enjoys rapid robust grace. locals often done it to clear fields, a dangerous technique that causes many wildfires. the cheap, her team identified midst comes across as a valuable resource and a source of income for residents. we are planning to make like a must see mass production of these uh pallets and at the same time, most production of the so specific stover that these uh, these uh, compatible with these uh pallets and the we are going to promote it in the whole country i mean, learning gemini, the students from decibels, university, aided by
12:39 pm
a local vocational school set to work on designing a solar powered pilot factory designs to enable the mass production level, tentative fuel, and not a gasket shopping machine. on hamilton, the gross, independent, the 20th century can be dismantled to states into, to shipping containments, with adoption costs that some 70000 euros collected by a crowd funding for the all. for if we just testing everything on the web, then to help build it, we'll send the students who are working on the project on who are doing this is on it. but yeah, martha is out today. we worked with the school class to prepare the construction problem. for example, we pre drilled the roof from i. so the on site to assembly will be easier. that way we would have to do and drilling down this and we can just screw it together and off to them or solve missing the pilot factory is destined and done. and then go
12:40 pm
key in southern mother gasket the site was chosen because of the abundance of mrs. kansas across here on them, you will not leave one up in april. we normally start cutting and collecting grass again. so you see of law, this is the time when it grows everywhere. yeah. but the payments and i mean case it rains after we've gotten the crust in april and they will get a 2nd time and they need to file their live up and to mid 3. hundreds and it's done on the village will profit from this project were kids. yeah. and people weren't home the forest any made mity shoot on most it will be replenished with in this situation will improve and have been has a 10 times. it'll start again on a $35.00 kito bag of chuckle costs full year rates, the same amount of gross pilots, just $3.00, which could help the new fuel cap shown. if we are successful out that the suffering by the scott,
12:41 pm
then we are going to spread the plan to end the 2nd week in the whole country. so just little if you need teen such a not for profit company to support the venture with the test phase successful. the pilot factory has been packed into the shipping containers and it's expected to be set up in mount augusta in october to see what is all unique or the less substance. don't quench is our thoughts helps us regulate heat on transport goods. we even fly to squeeze in slots of it, because more and more people and also need access to these costs we saw sold from sandra, only 3 percent of the woods. what the result is, a drink about the rest, the selling agent polluted or an accessible evicted from, gone is drawing the attention to the value of this important results with an equally unique campaign. but tulsa has put on his coffee,
12:42 pm
made recycled swimsuit and his buddies. this women of a 11 kilometers is a distance you'll cover every day for 40 days. and that's an overall root of 450 kilometers. passing along the volta river and then to lake volta, the world's largest artificial reservoir. it's one of the few lakes in gunnar, that is so clean enough to swim is an activist in every business and type in a tetra as part of a science of expedition that's seeking to draw attention to the pollution of gone as waterways so much of the reason that i'm part of this expedition and working with a cruise to do this research is because it is so encouraging and so amazing to be able to swim and simple to river like this. and i'd love to see other works on buddies and so on. and specifically across the, the swimming the, again a stethoscope containing against environmental collusion,
12:43 pm
some ages ago. and that's when she came into contact with the oil foundation and environmental justice nonprofit, the organized expedition other members of the team also spend time on the water to take samples from various points along the route. so here we can see that the color is very different from the rest of the water that we've been swimming along. so he is a green, it's really changes. i mean, it depends on the places where we, uh, if we are close to villages, for example, we will be collecting some samples for back to a logical checks. if we are close to factories or industrial areas, we will be checking for heavy metals, for example. like yeah, the other villages better, which now has a number of industrial sides like the sun mine the pollution and creates, has had a devastating impact on the local fishing industry. the area used to have lots of fish this. yeah. the overall look good. then all the fish are gone
12:44 pm
to is, you know, up to san minding and the leg has destroyed our livelihood cycle is. yeah, oklahoma, we are a fisherman. again, that's how we make a living and assessing and beginning. but now we even struggle to find enough fish to be in ourselves and not the guidelines it got to often the mining industry is not totally harming the environment. it also makes the process of clarifying drinking water much more expensive the spectrum work. i would sewage a month, a settlement, and so the pension generally the book and more often done, anticipate so possible for meeting us on these problems once a week. and the end of the, the 2 of us will have to be back to our what time and what are we done most of what we use and that's just one problem. chemicals and ways from households in other industries. also a good time. they the water,
12:45 pm
along with many of 15000000 items of 2nd hand clothing center gone every week. well, the 50 percent of it ends up in huge waste heat and across the good the old foundation is loving the government, but also wants to raise public awareness of just how harmful the waste is. the important clothing waste in particular. so many people don't even understand that we have a 2nd i'm posing, coming from the global to the global south, or that there are other issues that are affecting the policy of our water. so what we want to do is really hope to bring attention in awareness to the quality of the water and the issues that i play here to get people involved. this was the fact that the 1st booming campaign is feeling tight but optimistic that one day given the lagoon and across once again the clean enough to swim in. in 2022, the you adopted
12:46 pm
a revise action planned to come back to the legal trade in wide life. it includes stronger controls and strict assumptions. if any animals are supported illegally from the country of all region, well until the system takes full effect. big, predatory costs reptiles a red, but species continued to be brought to europe illegally. as pain has become a gateway to wildlife. smoke like a heart is still in the wild. but now can you lives in an enclosure, in a spanish animal shelter near on a counter. the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old, but she has suffered greatly caregiver belly die is nursing her back to health. a queen, outside of the old grandmother, she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her. that meant she must have been poorly fed from the start and she's even gone blind. the private breeder now has to face the
12:47 pm
authorities for violating the convention on international trade in endangered species. the east asian founded leopards is also an endangered species. so can you, is a rarity. spain has become a gateway for a legally traded exotic species. the police often find them when inspect the ships arriving in a country or from the nearby continent of africa. maria pay us their works for a special environmental crime unit. passenger luggage here that the airports, she's found birds, snakes, and tortoises. for another like it's so sad. left side topic will be so ruthless. people have no problems about tearing these animals from their habitat. told them no, not in treating them like twice instead of my being forwarded to this police. video
12:48 pm
from september 2021 shows the liberation of a female chimpanzee who would be alone in a cage for 5 years. the illegal imports of protected animals arising in 2022 smuggling into spain increased by more than half compared to the previous year. a full service and 3 minutes. total organized criminals are often behind it up to notify ability. think of something that you need contacts and the country of origin to find the animals and, and you do need a network in europe to import them and they will seal this as a highly profitable business being taken care of. but if a monkey, for example, might cost $5.00 or 6 years in africa, and here it can fetch 2000 euros or more e mailed or include so much according to the world wildlife fund, this global business is worth billions. so if you
12:49 pm
d as says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons, but it's impact is under estimated a she didn't, and i think all the items that i think a little as arms trafficking and drug smuggling, or taken more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement while in 4th on illegal animal trafficking is just a serious, but it doesn't seem to such, it's not pursued and prosecuted as often that makes these crimes even more lucrative. the 30s don't have enough specialists to investigate properly. an animals are often rescued when it's too late, as we can you the cloud of leverage the business that they lost the yellow so rather choose to use to people and she's blind in the wild . she would never be able to deal with her own species. she was raised in captivity, so she's condemned to
12:50 pm
a life in captivity and go through this with this legal trade mix. can you and many other wild animals like her into products that lose their freedom forever . what's a sad story and many people don't even realize that the trade in exotic animals threatens the biodiversity in the places with those on the most come from both what men from december community. can you just fight it against the white life tree? exactly, crease. ambrose is online store summit, but he does have a talent for photographing, and he wants to use his pictures to show the de la city and the beauty of he's 19 region is all equal. he will the sweet
12:51 pm
a little to is a man of many talents. he knows exactly what he's doing. and the 30 year old can be and is also a talented photographer. he says he began taking pictures to help him better understand these environments. so the one thing that really put them into our lives, they'll grab, he's about it by the washing. so i said, well, he just wanted to take up the offer to hop on. but so the guy able to identify that this has been able go conservancy in central can yes. i'm personally told why it works here off to studying wildlife management and conservation at college by taking photos of the many animals that live here ambrose hope so, you can raise awareness of spc that are valuable for reason. it didn't get many locals. i've seen his pictures and he often visits schools to talk to young people
12:52 pm
about the environment. what are the visions mostly like elephant us? why less did alpha and the other wonder if that, that, and, and the, the only thing that they're gonna be able to use is what i'm going to on the, just the 10 i'm on the new for said the out of the out that i didn't to add onto that one to share this study. you need to of a photo. what i feeling i'm verse betrays animals such as the african left, but that ad risk from poaching. lots of habits. it's. he's even fountain red, black let's it's or for the messiah photography that the biggest subject to the big cats is climate change for minute. the plants spaces that disappearing. yeah. just because of the claimant's in that is maureen's in this area we, we do face a very diverse, tempting k the drunk. and i'm the i'm because i may so in the not be above,
12:53 pm
that'd be 4 die in the low. but in the past where like another subject is that locals have often killed liquids because the 2nd lives still, which is the livelihood of many people. here, ambrose is building, understanding that community level these women use to see, let the does enemies. now they work to protect them as leopards attracts to wherever it is. and that means drugs they call themselves to moments or liquid mom is we have come to understand the close of each one of the important of it. because now the formation of tree, my, my of me a little foods such as new sources of income, the women's collective mix jewelry and soap. and has now even built their own sense with the proceeds. this wild lives kids results center in the middle of the savannah. what school founded by bruce led to lie equipped with reading material and by not kayla's. these kids are on the safari today,
12:54 pm
the bud spotting and the trip is proving inspirational. integrated the with selma who level now i want to educate people of the importance i'm convinced them to start quoting at all for, for some mom, i know the children are also aware of the financial benefits of conservation. given that if i am a customer, i would like to protect these animals because they help the country is going to change it. safari, it's always and brings us money. people come to see that i know and that generates revenue your best. so it helps improve people standard of living it and, and the name growth of simple. if it was done, it was literally why says he's optimistic about the future because it seems that young people are becoming more environmentally aware. that is a huge since day. so you're just sending because i don't think i'm able to plan to say that i'm it's so i'm going to send that to learn about 12 day. of course i
12:55 pm
won't feeling too big of for the about this particular button to allow me to do. you won't even know some names is pictures of some plants that do funding this particular area and they know the use. so that is something that makes me happy. the local elephant population remains that consists in 2019400 of them were counted in the nearby loose conservancy. amber's let's so do i hopes that he's what can help ensure a safe future for them the time just to by this week so fast. it was great having you with us. we hope all shield was both entertaining and informative . remember, we all need to take care of the environment. that's all say, this week's episode. no, it is a good buy for me right yet. you comp. hello, uganda. and good bye for me to like to area if you want to know more, take out. also show me the channels shown on your screen. i'm chris
