learning 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 if you had to boil the climate crisis down to one single issue, it would probably be energy. we will be looking at some of the ways we can reduce dependence on fossil fuels with the help of the sun and the wind. welcome to equal africa. i have sandra holmes that we know do right here in comp. hello uganda. and

i a chris, a los illegals nigeria, nice to have you with us. all show today is parked with interesting and informative reports. so let's get started with a brief look at what we have coming up as a woman in uganda, whose destination a, life wildlife conservation. amid a wind turbine inspired by nature. and how small moves of from it and nothing can on making the most of the addition of knowledge but for us to solve offer god, what continues to struggle with us if you have paul crisis? blackouts come and place the problems a possibly due to aging, and they do for structure with coal still dominating the energy makes a transition to green. the options is urgently needed. of course,

the country is blessed with sunshine all year round, slowly, but surely that's helping south africa. finally get its lights back on. the things are happening in south africa, so less thing to the country. it's finally manufactured in its own solar mode. you, in this plants, which energy africa opened to cape town in 2023. what force is women? only the company wants to set an example in an industry that's male dominated, the solar panels produced here. also different this smaller than usual, and also more affordable. the company hopes its home field advantage to give it a competitive edge over imported time. what makes that special is that we are able to get the materials in cheaper. then we are able to manufacture the product locally, which that, which kept them on the price. and then we all, well,

it's also easier for us to just deliver to as a warehouse is that all the choices in my loudly and all the other places in africa? south africa has seen a massive growth in its solar industry over the past few years. but it comes with a hefty price tag. the majority of the solar panels i'm ported over $600000000.00 was so fabulous views. while most of the solar industries growth is in the business and residential sectors, people live in an informal settlements without access to legal electricity can now also benefit from the locally produced the panels. so this single 50 watts pano produced by n a g after because women run factory costs less than $20.00 and includes the power bank and l e d panel. candles used to be robert jones, only source of lights. now he finally has all the options. you really, you really limited and what you can do, even bookings as well. and with this live,

the size won't give me. if i, if it's free to charge you, it will burn rogers and not to them for a morning. i can read, but i can do that. i can cannot get, i can do a job. so whatever i can do reparations on things and things i can with joyce mentioned to you before. more than 80 percent of south africa's energy is produced by coal fired power stations, but asian infrastructure and mismanagement at states owned power company as school is resulted in rolling blackouts. loved children has become part of daily life. sometimes there are over 10 hours of allergies a day. the significance of costs to the economy as gum, which has strong links to the government, has long had a monopoly of selling electricity. but the solar sector hopes that the energy crisis is forcing the government to focus more on renewables,

i think with the struggling grid. and with the struggling uh you know, utility at the moment. they've got another choice but to promote renewable energy and actually jump on board. but yes, i think slowly but surely the wheels that's ending to promote. so renewable energy and so that as the solar industry continues to expand, so do opportunities. a provider of built in integrated photovoltaics ac is africa, has developed an academy to train and certified solar installers for the workforce, providing potential employment opportunities up in the country with nearly 33 percent on employment. these opportunities definitely welcome serves you well, and it gives you qualification and certification as a solely in store and with a few of the goods you up with unit is also that is available for you. one of the major drivers of the countries optic and sola has commerce and private industry to go in its own solutions to the west in power prices. at this facility,

cakes croissants and roles the baked and opens and then frozen, stored, and shipped for the retail sector. 24 hours a day. bacon and freezing both require a lot of power. several years ago, the company and sold besets solar array and now they are looking to expand their renewable energy capacity. responsible for utilizing just follow generates the through the throughout the day. but really looking so too much at storage of paula . however, we are now busy with our 2nd phase, which is to install one big of what factory, which will stole some of the energy that'd be generated throughout solar right. to carry us to load, shooting, always in the evening. and time we intend to within the next 3 to 3 years to be completely solved lines from i'll follow you, tennessee, and run kelly or battery and saw that paula during dialogue dollars as well as during load shipping. currently being able to install sola is the privilege for

logic businesses with small companies, like in the capital phones to install major systems, to keep the lights on spots. there was a shift energy africa as recently started manufacturing a panel with nearly 7 times the capacity of the original products. and there's plenty of reason to believe that this is just the beginning. as we leave off again, had nothing to europe. we have sustainable energy solutions are also being explored here. there might be less sun. well, there is a lot of wind. a french company is devised a level wheel pond estimate. with a surprising small scale design. take out the 6 doing your bits it looks like a plastic tree, but this tree is good for the environment. weather conditions here in all task

which is home to this animal shelter, a right deal for an innovative environmental experiment close to the alps. it's always windy, making it a great location for a wind turbines and the kinds of trains netflix, hulu, for us, environmental protection on animal protection, go hand in hand, which and really started to invest in a winning tree to generate some green energy. and to stair was away from our dependency on oil and gas show up and you get going for the soon as the guys are issued. this wind tree is a hybrid model. it has 30 small wind turbines attached to the branches which each generate to electricity. and it's 20 white leaves contain sooner sounds depending on the weather. this hybrid model can produce between 4 and 16000 kilowatts of electricity. uh, yeah. the wind trees are made in switzerland. they have between 5 and 10 meters, tall da, particularly well suited to open areas. because you,

again for the winter lines need to be quite far away from the cities. we never see them in the city, so people down to be placed on the outskirts and i never quite engineers either. our product is close to the consumer and doesn't require any major engineering work . how about there's any cds either energy that's produced can be used right? then in the immediate small, i put see, think one tray can potentially supply a full pass in the household. so it batch one day every gotten good have one and tell about again if you will also doing your bit, tell us about it. visit, tell website schools, send us a tweet tags, doing your bids. we share your stories on the move protection on climate protection to make a preference test. because without the healthy ecosystems,

we wouldn't survive. that's why we're only to can see that the environmental consequences of many of the decisions we us individuals make such as well. we get our energy. what kind of work we do. you make a good point of trees here in uganda. we have a wonderful abundance of wild life from comedians on voyages to ship. as of course, i'll send those mountain gorillas, bought the well being of many of these, nemo populations depends on the tireless efforts of people who have dedicated their lives to pro, texting them. margaret costume by miss how crucial what deficient ease for her and her 2 more ranges looking for the getting the one day for 32. this is

a real moment of the next issue. they frequently put their lives on the line in order to predict to be a countries wide life margaret costume by executive, and go to the fight against bushes. and you can, doesn't, i should've parks had, you'll be the highly dangerous one. sometimes we are confronted with people who are you quite a like us, like the porches, we have on the 14th. sometimes people come in to get to the n was that they want. so we have also to be done on and ready to call into to come. and so what do they come to do? you can just in the front of the lease shenice, no, but up to over $5000.00 new most the songs to the ring, just tireless efforts and dedication. but this site is not over 2019. so it needs to be a real quick amount of ivory. we can gain

a total of over 3 tons of tasks. hose that goes to the lights of over $350.00 elephant. actually hundreds of put us on average. every yeah, we prosecute about $400.00 suspects involved in different offenses, including weight with trafficking, pushing illegal and seen to the park. and of us. the ranges of to q brochure and pushes by maintaining but true is across the national parks. you kinda has an ambitious goal to reintroduce they had to fight trainers to the wired for 2 years. left approaches wiped them out. this the was century in century. uganda is a proud home of the only wild sold on by trainers in the country. the $5.00 to $3.00 and the most good buy ranges around the clock. we have increased o 4 numbers and we're still increasing. we have people who are trading great,

sell news training. they will be passing out soon. they will come to enforce the already existing range of us to protect their resources. we have also improved or no, uh, a detection mechanism. our discussions unit has acquired equipment to detect. we live crime unintelligence, they cannot detect and to prevent it's also vital. she sees that supports as a quote and convicted in 2019 the government just to kinda increase the penalties for pushing or trading project to dynamos. or this particular little has given us breathing space, at least as the comments of things is the criminals. know what is coming for them. if we happen to get to them, you're going to know has

a special court dedicated to cases involving purchase identity, good trafficking of protected anymore is an annual products and punishments a severe yes. recently, and i voted 3, was given a life sentence for me that it'd be better for me. because all of us as a child in contribution with that, we have a court which was dis, connected to handle wireless related cases. that's available. see, got you've meant for me, please us lou, use it to grapple compassion. we've ever cases in court of a very important cases of my da, praises ordering whatsoever. you can imagine and present cuz competing with that wait list case, which one will be given pro to, to be had my great customer sees that she and her colleagues from the web back for 30. i know, be leasing to impulse, the politicians and the quotes. know that to their commitment to the french she's wildlife, has benefits for the entire country. recent years,

i've seen the elephant population gradually recovering. at the same time, there's also been a slight increase in the number of indian jet mountain gorillas. my brief cuz somebody's now looking forward so they didn't get quite trained. so no. so reappearing way to be loans. but kinda wired as we go now to somebody in a country whose economy is closely tied to audrey culture. but the city is increasingly on the threats from climate change in the last 10 years. because his contribution to the g d p has decreased from roughly 10 percent to just over 3 percent. now one of the challenges dot palmer space is lack of access to affordable loans to try out different things. we found one solution in the 2nd world to be some far as subsidies with the digital world starts hoping to suck as

some guys using technology to benefit from as a nature. this is the team behind pulling a phone opposite to naples from us to both save money on the ground floor with the at small groups of farmers create the so called savings of members of a circle agree a fixed amount which they then each deposit every month members can then either draw news from this money pool or earn interest on the savings. many farmers here face considerable challenges. they need money to fund solutions in zambia, almost $300000.00 hector's, a far as i did every year for chaco timber. and i the culture on my clinic and i x and email that way. i like to say discussing, i'm going to toss convey about time. so those are some form of a drunk. and most people couldn't phone. and they just looked at to, you know, cutting down of trees. if they didn't cut down trees to mix alcohol,

then what else are they going to do? in fact, okay. how about keeping the teams suggested small hold is produced, rule honey, which they would then buy package and we sell in supermarkets, gm, economic assemble on his team provide free be keeping workshops, grunting the farm as an alternative to talk production says the bees bring the benefits to for the we, for example, cost for the nation, the, the fluids, the in the product to of what if you are growing in your, from without the food, the trees that you of good, with the tomatoes way that they had it's mays, a sunflower, you said benefits to both of you, philip zulu is a small scale meas, pharma. he has diversified in to be keeping them fish farming, making him fall is vulnerable to drugs, half of his farmland is now indigenous forest ideal for bees to far

h. b has the expensive for 20 heis zulu, needed the equivalent of $500.00 units and the amount which you would now be able to go through the pulling savings. so many farmers don't have bank accounts. it's easier for really because he doesn't access, he has to produce enough often document for collection. and guy is getting going from the people that he stays within the community. and they know him. yeah. so, and that's where you and the interest rates as no, that's a hit and somebody's getting the loan because it's kind of 2 in the saving circle. farmers can agree on the own interest rates. these are typically about 5 to 10 percent, which is a far cry from the 15 to 100 percent interest often demanded by informal money lenders. phillips, eager to trial the system with the new up calling is in

a test fees until the end of 2023 from us hope it will enable them to diversify and expand this small holdings, the village banking system. on the mobile, i think you to, to be helpful because people to see them money in the situation as people can borrow without the the, the signing of the contract. the agreements as long as your balance is totting. the pulling up is built with block chain technology, a digital system that allows people to transfer money without the need for traditional banks. all transactions on the platform i recorded poly should be available for farmers in 2024. in the meantime, janica not because i'm always working with 2000 be keepers. the stotts up has already sold, set the tons of honey in supermarkets, the sweet,

sweet and tall farmers. i'm project based on forest at the same time. so sometimes the best solutions a high take bond, sometimes a traditional approaches just as effective on the often simpler and foster to implement those rights and dropped in on next report way. nothing done up with animal breed is our re discovering tradition and knowledge. they're looking for in digital expertise to kill sick animals. it shouldn't be a good bonded is the warming has heard today. the live stock farmer uses indigenous medicines and herbal remedies, all based on knowledge passed down to him by his grandparents. here in the past to a new go and gone as upper east region. animals are vulnerable to diseases like god,

plague livestock, dysentery, and parasitical infections that cause stomach loading. once you have that, you would have the man i have looms in the stomach because i'm making them sick at a new phone. so i have to get mahogany tree box mixed up with other native hubs. you can give them several doses of a 3 days on this mixture, kills the ones with a new phone and a, some of this knowledge of them. additional properties of plants and herbs is invaluable both for the regions, farmers and their herds. and for researchers, that's because tim, be a good time to hear this part of a major interdisciplinary project to implement f, no veterinary medicine and gone a at the center for plant medicine research in the town of men, palm ok, want them not far from the capital lycra scientists are investigating the healing properties of native plants. the government originally established the facility

to provide alternative health care to local people. now it's carrying out research into animal health. but the laboratory here has been studying the chemical and pharmaceutical properties of plans for some time. now off the course was to look out for what does the terms cheap of these plans. what is the ballots to us to get this of these plots and release them with the disease? is that the same pharmacy, or you know, because clue to be treating with in gun a 10 percent of live stocks to come to disease in a country. with few trained veterinarians, farmers often rely on the advice of tabel harder and other locals who recommend medicine sold and open markets like this one. young regulated misuse and over use of antibiotics can lead to high levels of antibiotic residues in animal products.

and it can encourage antibiotic resistance, which affects the health of those live stock, and people who consume animal products. meanwhile, 75 percent of live stock and gonna are resistant to the antibiotics used to treat them. at the same time, many live stock owners don't trust durable medicines which aren't scientifically tested and don't come with a company leaflet. and packaging was we provide this information with this projects. if you don't want to provide this a bit, there is a disappointment. it says which a gauge the disease that's we are what you studied. we, what we want to kind of duck these. let's just final vicious output. if verbal treatments do become more accepted, sourcing these medicinal plants will also be an issue. and gun a, there are secret groves that are preserved for ceremonial reasons. local people

often collect plants and herbs there for domestic use, for indigenous botanist the java james oswald, i'm as ego who's the project's lead consultants. these groves are a treasure that could make a real difference to live stock farmers. that means now they've got to pay in good funded use. i got save more farmers. so that was the have into production of unless, therefore that was good. we agree because do have a good number of yeah, unless i life. and then the guy said that was the make money as a participant in the project, simply because i'm being no longer has to rely on the plants in the forest. the project gave him exclusive use of an herb garden to remember that he's one of a selected group of herbalists who are receiving support from the s no veterinary medicine project. on this protected patch of land, he's planting a variety of native plants, including mahogany and oak trees and thought what de la, but you haven't taught you these plans. patients are hard to find out like when you

know what to do, and there aren't any more of them nearby that. that's why the project is helping us to both planned and protect them and assist you with that. so that when we need them that they'll be easily available to me this year to native plants, carnes, or an eco friendly source of medicines for traditional practitioners. like to me, a good idea of if this project catches on, gone, could become a 4 runner in f. no veterinary medicine. dr. holt is a good reminder that we already have many of the answers to the problems facing a planet. if we just know where to look great to hobby with us on the show, i really hope you enjoy that good buy from complex, right to in uganda, a. and by for me in the area, if you want to know more check out, the social media channel is shown on your screen. hopefully, we'll see you next time until the by
