8:30 am
you the words people have to say yes to the that's why we listen to every weekend on d w. 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 could 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 complex uganda. and i,
8:31 am
a crystal, 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. and you can use this case in a live to wildlife conservation a meaning when, so by inspired by nature in house multiples of 5 minutes and nothing can on making the most of the addition of knowledge. what for us to solve, oper go, what continues to struggle with us if you have paul crisis? blackouts come and place the problems partly due to a gene energy infrastructure with cold, still dominating the image and makes a transition to green. the options is urgently needed. of course,
8:32 am
the country is blessed. it's sunshine all year round. slowly, but surely that's help in south africa. finally get its lights back on. the things are happening in south africa, so less thing to the country is finally manufactured in its own solar mode used in this plants, which energy africa opened to cape town in 2023. what force is women? early? 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 it's phone field advantage, give us a competitive edge over impulsive turner. what makes us special is that we are able to get the materials in cheaper then we are able to manufacture the products locally, which that, which kept them on the price. and then we all, well,
8:33 am
it's also easier for us to just deliver to as. 1 warehouses at all, but you like the email. now we 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 factors to use 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 panels. as this single 50 watts pano produced by any g. ask 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 slide,
8:34 am
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 withdraw. as i mentioned to you before, more than 80 percent of south africa's energy is produced by coal fired power stations. that's aging infrastructure and mismanagement at states own power company as school is resulted in rolling blackouts. no children has become pulse of daily life. sometimes there are over 10 hours of outages a day. the significance of costs to the economy as calm, 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
8:35 am
a struggling grid and with the struggling uh you know, utility at the moment that's good. not a 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 in the country with nearly 33 percent on employment. these opportunities. i definitely welcome that 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. unity 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 and power crisis. at this facility cakes cross
8:36 am
phones and roles the based in oceans 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 installed the 1st solar array and now they are looking to expand their renewable energy capacity. responsible for utilizing just follow, generalize 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 shipping always in the evening. and time we intend to within the next 2 to 3 years to be completely solved lines from i'll follow you, tennessee, and run kelly or bacteria inside the pilot, during dialog dollars. as well as doing load shipping. currently being able to install solar is
8:37 am
a 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. so 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 will pont us to meet with a surprise, a 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
8:38 am
which is home to this animal, shelter, or ideal for an innovative environmental experiment. close to the alps. it's always windy, making it a great location for wind turbines, and the kinds of trains new to the for the next one for us environmental protection and animal protection go hand in hand which and really started to invest in a winning tree to generate some green energy and to stare 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 and between 5 and 10 meters tall da,
8:39 am
particularly well suited to urban 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 cd? it's easy 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 our website will send us a tweet tags doing jo bids we share your stories on the move protection on climate protection to make a perfect test. because without held the ecosystems,
8:40 am
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 increase here in uganda we have a wonderful abundance of wild life from comedians on a boat which is to ship has and of course of spend those mount and gorillas, bought the well being of many of these anymore populations depends on the tireless efforts of people who have dedicated their lives to po, texting them, margaret costume by miss how crucial, what eviction ease for her and how to move ranges. looking for the getting the what
8:41 am
day for 32. this is a real moment took the next issue. they frequently put to their lives the line in order to predict to be a country is wide life margaret costume by executive, and that of the fight against bushes. and you can designation of parts had you'll be the highly dangerous one. sometimes we are confronted with people who do credit like us, like the porch was we have on the 14th, sometimes people come in to get to the and 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 new most the songs to the ring. just tyler spits, let's do the kitchen. but this site is not over in 2019. so we get real quick. i'm onto ivory. we gain a total of a 3 tons of tasks,
8:42 am
holes that cost the lives of over $350.00 elephants at the hands of purchase. on average, every year, we prosecute about $400.00 suspects. involved in different offenses, including wavelength, trafficking, pushing illegal and seen to the park. and of us. the ranges of 2 q brochure and pushes by maintaining much rows across the national parks. you kinda has an ambitious score to reintroduce they had to white train those to the wired for to you as of to purchase. wiped them out the was century in century, you can use the prod, home of the only way. we sold them by trainers in the country. the thought to 3 and the most good by ranges around the clock. we have in prisons. oh, for numbers and we're still increasing. we have people who are trade in grades and
8:43 am
i'll miss her training. they will be passing out soon. they will come to enforce the old existing range of us to protect their resources. we have also improved or no, uh uh, detection mechanisms. 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. what's trading protected dining most 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 was hoping to get to them. you're going to know has
8:44 am
a special quote dedicated to cases involving purchase identity, good trafficking of protected anymore as an annual products and the punishments a severe yes. recently an i bought a tree that was given a life sentence for me that it'd be good for me. because of us as a child in contribution with that, we have a court which was designated to handle wildlife related cases that's available. the gus you've made for me, please us hello, use it to grapple competing. we've ever cases in court of a very important cases of my, the previous order whatsoever. you can imagine it present cuz competing with a wait list case, which one will be given pro to, to be had. my great customer sees that she and her colleagues from the website for 30, i know, be leasing to both of the politicians and the quotes. know that they have commitment to the french. she's wildlife, has benefits for the entire country. were sent to you as i've seen daily fund
8:45 am
population gradually recovering at the same time. there's also been a slight increase in the number of indian jet mounted guerrillas. margaret, cuz somebody's now looking forward to they didn't get quite trained. no. 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 bought the 6 a is increasingly on the threat 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 to my colleague. and i actually know it, well, i just like discussing them, but i thought i was conveying at that time. so those are some form of control and most people couldn't from and so they do sort of to, you know,
8:46 am
cutting down of trees. if they didn't cut down trees to mix up within one thing to do that. okay. how about the keeping? the team suggested small hold is produced rule honey, which they would then buy package and we sell in supermarkets, janica nick, assemble on his team, provide free be keeping workshops grants in the farm as an alternative, defalco production. the bees bring the benefits to for the we, for example, costs for the nation, the fluids, the in the product to of what if you are growing in your, from without the food to trees that you of good with that to him, it was way that they had it's mays, a sunflower, i knew you'd said benefit you to both of you. philip zulu is a small scale meas, former, he has diversified in to be keeping them fish farming, making him fall as venerable to dropped half of his farm. land is no indigenous
8:47 am
forest, ideal for beast. so far h, b has the expensive for 20 heis zulu, needed the equivalent of $500.00 euros and the amount which you would now be able to go to the poland savings. so many farmers don't have bank accounts. it's easier for really because he doesn't tax and he has to produce, i know often governmental collateral and he's getting it on from the people that he stays within the community. and they know him. yeah. so, and that's where you and the interest rate. that's no, that's easy, it's really easy to get to me alone because it's kind of to in the savings circle. farmers can agree on their own interest rates. these are typically about 5 to 10 percent, which is a far cry from the 15 to 100 percent interest of when demanded by informal money lenders.
8:48 am
phillips is eager to trial the system with the new app. calling isn't a test fees until the end of 2023 farmers 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 a 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 noncustodial is working with 2000 be keepers. the stotts up has already sold,
8:49 am
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 traditional approaches just as effective on the often simplest and foster to implement those rights send dropped in on next report way. nothing done. now we animal breed is our re discovering tradition. the knowledge they're looking for in digital expertise to kill sick animals. a tim via the bonded is the warming has heard today. the livestock farmer uses indigenous medicines and herbal remedies, all based on knowledge passed down to him by his grandparents. here in the past,
8:50 am
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. what do you have that you would call within a month i have looms in the stomach because i'm making them sick at a new policy. so i have to get mahogany tree box mixed up with other native hubs. you can give them several doses of a 3 days. oh, this mixture kills the ones with a new phone illness. some of the, of this knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants and herbs is invaluable. both for the regions, farmers and their herds. and for researchers, that's because tim, vehicle them deal is 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 middleton. ok. want them not far from the capital lacrosse scientists are investigating the healing properties of native plants. the government originally established the
8:51 am
facility to provide alternative health care to local people. now it's carrying out research into animal health. but the laboratory year 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 chemistry of be splunk? what is the, what's the activities of these plants and released them with the disease is the same pharmacy, or you know, beaches claim 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, herders 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
8:52 am
antibiotic residues in animal products. and that 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 with a company lead sledge and packaging was we provide this information with this project. if you don't want to provide this evidence of this about ministers, which a gauge does use, that's we are what you studied. we what we, what japan dots. these met says, final vicious output if verbal treatments do become more accepted, sourcing these medicinal plants will also be an issue. and gonna,
8:53 am
there are sacred groves that are preserved for ceremonial reasons. local people often collect plants and herbs there for domestic use, for indigenous botanist and 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 can prepare in good appendages, like i said, more farmers. so that was a have indeed production of i'm most 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 the and no longer has to rely on the plants and the forest. the project gave him exclusive use of an herb garden to remember that he's one of a selected group of herbalist sewer, 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 dogwood. all uh,
8:54 am
but yeah, look to you, these plans patients are hard to find out. 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. i'm glad to assist you with that. so that when we need them that they'll be easily available to a good, easy as to the 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 vouch, revolt a 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,
8:55 am
we'll see you next time until then by the
