so we're bringing an environmental conservation to life with learning facts like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for the welcome to eco offer, good, the pen african environment to show fact with great stories. background information and good ideas on nature and environmental issues from africa and you rope. i have chris alarms coming to you from lagos,

nigeria with me is my charming co host sandra. go, who's a in uganda. hello, sandra. hi, grace and i, i'm really looking forward to today's show and especially to a very fast segment on the part of women in ivory coast. i am sandra co homes at 3 . nobody writes yet incompetent. you've done to on here some of the other topics that we'll be looking at on the program equal to is a changing so much lives in front of the french capital keeps. it's cool. despite the rising temperatures on from gone, the house started to conquer its mountains. of west how much do you think a group of women is capable of achieving you may be amazed at to see what communities in northern ivory coast are accomplishing through quarterly to auction,

full the environment on beyond. now we've peaks you, curiosity. here comes the women of non cur, cool me now a quick check to ensure they have enough provisions. then these members of a women's cooperative set off on a 15th to allow me to johnny. bit to read in these parts of 5, re, quote can be quite rough, especially during reading seasons. but even swollen reverse can stop the women upon arrivals. they collect nuts from sheer trees, which build time into she about to it is used in cooking and cosmetics and sold off top on the walls market. but the women sign scenes of devastation to, even though this is a protected forest from us, of cut down fees to plot fields, or strip them to sell the book. in traditional medicine, she, a buck is used to trick malaria and stomach x. but we talk about the trees via out

and die. many of these women one slow t bucks too, but not c, and that's provide them with the more environmentally friendly pulse of income for kids. so we had an uncle since we joined the cooperative. we've completely stopped cutting far, and we used to cut a lot of these. sometimes we even heard ourselves while removing a board and without their bar patrice dying or cute. so now we do everything we can to protect the trees for kids in 2021 a sent that to process she and that's a set top in the village of wondering my do a lot. so some $200.00 women walk here in a cooperative called non costs will mean always take together. the co operative us truck, a purchase agreement to the gun, a best company, but the aims to empower women in this region. as it is obviously, is on the women got the invite as many lots as they come later and cook them to next year. but

the corporate, the buzz being organic, certified it's processing facility costs around $60000.00 euros. most of which came from the international donors, including the e. u. last t, as in tab production has been almost completely sold. see if i'm doing all the women in the village. i pleased, i think before we will always travel land that right to the boat. we'd like barea to sell 3 bach and we had to leave our husbands and children behind on my level. now we can stay in the village with our families. i mean, we have look and are in money. so we're happy or no one's done. the popular from savannah fruits company as a regional office to handle the corporate team she about to international service. i'm going well, thanks to the she a bought as a gun except the vacation, centralizing, production on one side was key to the process. and i've been shooting them on the

sun. the women used to bring their shane bounce back from the bush and store them in a corner in their houses. it was usually the place where they stored chemical fertilizers for their fields or where children would play or for the women also process the notes at home or see, i mean, but the quality stuff or did it. there was too much contamination when they tried to do it all at home and it was simple for the company. the strong guys who came to south to side i'm using besides the high international demand for organic. she a bought a t a in the regional center of the cut off. there is to a brisk tread into the buck and roots using traditional magazine. at least 2 big truckloads leave here each week. bound for ivory costs, financial copy told me not to what tara used to sell to bucky and was often away from her funding for the long periods of time. now that she's a member of the women's cooperative that's no longer necessary. she can also afford

to buy better food for her family and invest in fish lab. yeah. and you know i, we come here every wednesday when it's market day. i think the color. yeah. before we never had enough money. i don't know, but now it's best to pass on. if i was able to buy 2 crates of fish, i think that i can re sell in the village. a lot of go on last week. i, you're not as of right that as you are the project, we receive 10000 francs and i use them to buy vegetables. i'm a i got was the last little, i know that the extra food is a welcome contribution not to over time as us, but the lead gross human caution. not. he's other wives also walk seem to call productive on since both women know on more money that lives. respect has gone on. my father gotten given by my wife helped me by a sheet for debowski. i think the sacrifice or yes it will, and they contributed to the purchase of some capital that do what i do. my wife's of also really helped me to pay for school fees. so i recognize the value of the co

op and of the final. the women are gaining influence in other areas. they often come across fields of fumes and culture, not see legally planted by local men in the collecting zones. now the supervisor, n g o, as i look at them uh, frontiers square kilometer area which is off limits to anyone, but the corporate to the frontier guy lives in the women who live in gathering shane us in this area won't allow their husbands or any other people to come in here, i'm trying to chrome just went to the web posting, forgot to me to, oh, plan is to certify the largest possible area as a bio diversity zone. nothing's only business is love that will help us to more effectively protect this land. and enable it's restoration to pull up and my provider. so what i will call you to the shade trees, bring us respect and in return we protect them. now the villages respect us and value our work. it's walk that not only protects the forest,

but also helps women and their families, proof that environmental protection can benefit everyone. staying on the topic of agriculture, we know head over to run to some they goals, make walk a lot easier. bought the engines are often mailed out, pollute. we exhaust fuse. so is don't really progress a good cause to ascend dropped was as it stands, the only option available to many look into 3 d oxy and full tract uh is a diesel powered vehicle. but now there are more environmentally friendly alternatives in africa as this project in run that shows it's just a normal working day for members of the do core and cooperative nicky, galle, the village is still the a, fields by hand. the many help is

a busy for weeks to collect 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 of ation machine quantum, we could produce more with less effort 0. so you tract is around, but also in the older vehicles that we no longer wanted to do, they tend to be noisy and the diesel is also not always available. and rise in fuel costs means that the often economically on viable from the outside. the solution looks remarkably similar to a 2.2 contractor with a 27 postcard engine. but the motor is electrically powered. a gentleman call me cuz developed this e track to prove to type along with the universe of to galley and the g. i said german development agency. it's a convert that dies with tractor and to 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. then when you come in here, you can move forward them back down then with that you can release the battery. and so look back and put the full battery on the track 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. only huffman for one day is actually connected to the green burnett. my energy clean and his team will be the best deal 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 or on the need. eat that under control, make any addition to be user friendly because of, for a using the in the way the police are further the 8 to maximize the

productivity. agricultural product 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. of the fact that the track to is intended for use in more remote areas is a particular challenge for the developers in the team of v. w. engineer who belong to the main point is to make an electric 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 is it successful to be designed? 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 to track that should be able to tackle here . remember when to productivity of funding areas can only be increased if other foaming jobs can be automated, as well. the develop as a test, whether it can be harnessed to help irrigate the pups 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 plant 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 out . mine would be up to now. many farmers could not imagine that the track to is going to be ready any time soon. but they do realize what a difference it might be. i'm 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 with over 20000 inhabitants space quick color, which is part of these is one of the most densely populated cities in europe. dr. probably feels nice and close. the in cold above, but as temperatures climbed as

a result of climate change, the ctc teed up. so how of provisions trying to keep the cool eco reporter to a tool the towel, to find out paris the city of love has long been tories stream the budget despite his l. ramon's on hot summer days. it can be hodge to brief, concrete roads and buildings turn the fence capital into an urban heat island. paris has warmed up by 2.3 degrees celsius, on average since 1885 compared to 1.7 degrees in the rest of france, according to recent studies. and so the townhome is now investing tens of millions of yours to help cool down the city. what's your date? exactly? so this is a mazda paris and tell me how did you want to say specifically about this city. one

is, you know, it's easy to explain more just a way to get some pets. this is a historic city built for a moderate climate. and one of the most densely build cities in the world. and that's why it's like an oven. fine, more so than places spread out over a large area. is it that is the can now send my time here is already open for swimmingly. today, after next year's olympic games, we plan to open 3 bathing areas homeless and river wanted one plan is to replace concrete with earth that can soak up rain watering, cool down the air, will also insulate public buildings. you know, it pulls on the end of us, you want to know, but you know, if you mutual, i mean simple. many squares have already gone green, like the plaster on us you or this round about in the south of paris, which is being transformed into an urban forest. since trees are also key to coding down to city. and there is a sense, with not only become an open s swimming pool, it's already making

a cooling contribution. this eco friendly cooling system is quotes pressure to putting a network of underground water pipes that is connected to water keep systems in over 700 buildings across the city. we pay a visit to one of its main ponds. this one kind of canada sees some push or spaces to through the system which was closed by refrigeration units, which he talked in the price that he says dissipated into the sam. it's also slice to a secondary 2nd. the system can seems off as much electricity as a conventional conditioning unit. what's more, that you like? tricity comes entirely from renewable energy, mainly from solar panels. today the network has 90 kilometers this type and the company plans to triple that over the next 2 decades. question on the 20 is already helping to cool places like the new museum and power

is townhomes. but air conditioning systems that use river water cons be endlessly extended, says morgan called on this a french expert on oven time. instead of taishan. they didn't need your system of systems like the fresher perry boom up the river volta and that certainly sites up to a certain threshold to protect like who bio diversity or anything. uh that goes with it. watches the cold. yeah. and so the systems cold down an entire stay is on cell phones and we have to choose the building. so cool with them. before you say like you mentioned that you sound but small in the future. pressure to probably will also be linked to schools. some of them already enjoying the benefits of green a streets and put dest insights, and across the city, cars increasingly sharing the streets with bicycles, kind of ready. so i to almost all the power is on large like highways,

like this one, and the city will add another 50 fonts kilometers of bike blew us over the next 3 years. but not everybody is happy with the price to could boom, which is leading to more traffic jams in busy areas. that's why plan is need to take the needs of critics and local communities seriously. so i think we need to make sure our plans are accepted, involve local people in explaining the initiative, the promise of focus on the technological side of climate tied up taishan. but the human factors and so important, that's what we did. we will do all of the plans are less controversial like this new installation that provides change when the sun is high to people in a lower income neighborhood. and then most of paris, so that don't feel that you'll do a degree. you'll receive all, you know, you'll have someone that can be up to 10 degrees cooler under the roof and we've installed a new spray found. and over there, you just need to push this button and it sprays water for about 20 seconds. what

was the did you feel the water, right? 0 balance that is supposed to be dropped. bodies don't been getting basically we were installing 24 roofs like this. and 73 spray fountains across paris. they'll help us get through the summer on top of our existing heat measures when they paid our heat plan includes regular checking in on vulnerable people and offering spaces, such as on town halls where they can cool christian measures like these will become even more important in the future, if some us in paris continue to heat up, i must say i quite like the idea of harris cooling down even further with more shades, more spray fountains and small by cranes that way the city was suddenly face enjoyable, even with temperatures continuing to go off by any places here in africa trying to make cities, communities of whole countries,

for its full climate change, for its spots gone, those struggling with garbage, which is known to pollute the soil. what to an air caused less than damage to the environment. and people only 10 percent of gunners, west east collected and on the goals. so form of treatment to find a comprehensive solution to address these challenges. hybrid west energy plant has been built. the country has a great hopes for these pilots projects. this waste sorting facility is still something of a novelty in government, but the plants here does even more. some waste is used to produce electricity and complex facilities like this come out to be able to help us and be able to able to collect uh weighs and make good use of the widths in a way you realize that one of them has to do with job creations, so people and people in the community will not be engaged in the collection of the

ways which will actually be sent to the community to actually be utilize the facility. subbing a crucial purpose gun. as waste problem is huge. $14000.00 tons of garbage generated every day and only 10 percent of that is collected. it's a problem that results in greenhouse gas emissions. the spread of the seas and even contributes to flooding. and in fact, waste is a valuable resource. once it's processed. someone and rhetoric is a salma. he and his son now use compost, made a gun increased on the me field. it's a little bit more so by me using come before i started using the most of my crops about my yield was very last. yeah. i know, but assuming your significant by the office did a lot of mays this year of last year i had about 10 bags, but this year's increase to 20 bucks. yeah. yeah. so the accomplice has been

helpful for me. the money content intent intent on the list is made in the hybrid waste energy plants near the city of kumasi, where waste is also used to produce electricity from bio got the solar power plants produces 400 kilowatt enough to supply 500 household. the 1st of its kind in gun it costs 5800000 euros and was mostly funded by the german government. the plant was also developed with the help of government know how there's no shortage of waste that can be used. it's brought in from the town over can cova so in a day because i spent phones, and then at the end of the day we expect that to obtain about 50 cubic meters of gas. the plants doesn't handle metal, but plastic waste gets shredded and sent elsewhere for cycling. the organic waste is used to put you cycle. got the help of material in this react to in the yellow

building behind it by august is converted into electricity, but generate to of the plants will eventually employ a team of 50 people. for now, 20 people walk here, including local experts in waste, richmond to getting further training and vital gust technology from the gentleman putnam. for the time being. the energy produced here isn't being said into the mass. you've read. the amount of power produced by the plant isn't to yet enough for the national transmission system coming well, yeah. okay, that's good enough to production of energy from the bargain aspects. so how much more the energy produced from the bond gas aspects as compared to the solar that'd be how kind of doing those sites would have been kind of when it had to degrees, because it's a waste of energy projects. so the fact that we have with that is from the bank as i say, that is being converted to a meeting. and so this office office is what we are looking for. that's we have

more energy that will be put used in the coming months. food that it can be going to touch the grid until this happens, the electricity produced is used in the waste energy plant itself. and the plant makes via composts from organic waste, in a closely monitored process that's takes that these to say by 2 weeks. since always, we have to sample to do an analysis on them to see the nutrients build up into a complex. and also when to accomplish it's finally formed, we do our analysis to ensure that's or the micro macro nutrients are present. have you minutes also upset and tired of doing so, find a ups in the bio compost has have some exciting one and with from well april for the adult, the need for chemical fertilizers and can even save money as, as why not because they're not for it to get out this organic, compos, have to spend a lot of money to buy other types of fertilizers,

and that's very expensive if i 3 and do what the one about the cost of the equivalent of the $30.00 euro. so using the organic compost has helped reduce my cost of production loss. nadia of little football for the waste to energy plant near kumasi is a pilots project. if all goes well again and government plans to finance 10 more across the country. good to see that the a growing efforts here in africa to enhanced the resilience of human and environmental systems to climate change and increased and such n t i am sandra co, who's the 3 of you signing of from complex, right to uganda by sun dried it was a pleasure to hosting the show as always review and thanks to you off you as you also enjoy the program or have ideas or good initiatives vive to us on social media
