12:31 pm
i and krista, 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, destination a life wildlife conservation. amid a wind turbine inspired by nature and how small hold of from it and nothing can on making the most of the addition of knowledge. what for us to solve offered the 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 dominates india and they do makes a transition to green. the options is urgently needed. of course,
12:32 pm
the country is blessed with 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. it's 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 its home field advantage to give it 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 fact, which kept them on the price. and then we all, well,
12:33 pm
it's also easier for us to deliver to as a warehouse is that all situated in malawi 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 informal settlements without access to legal electricity can now also benefit from the locally produced the panels. is this single 50 watts panel produced by n a 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're really, you're really limited in what you can do. even bookings as well. and with this live

to the side won't give me. if i, if it's free to charge you, it will got burn rogers and not to them for i morning. i can read vide, um, i can do that. i can clean, i can, i can do on drums and 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 of state and 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
12:35 pm
a 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 so the 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, 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. unity is also that is available for you. one of the major drivers of the countries optic and sola has come from private industry to go in its own solutions to the west in power prices. at this facility,
12:36 pm
cakes cross salts and roles. the baked in 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 installed the 1st solar rate and now they are looking to expand their renewable energy capacity. responsible for utilizing just follow generates a 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 through, load, shooting, always in the evening and maintain to within the next 3 to 3 years to be completely solved lines from i'll follow you timothy and run kelly or battery and saw that paula during the dialogue dollars as well as doing load shipping currently being able to install sola is
12:37 pm
a privilege for logic businesses with small companies like in the capital phones to install major systems, to keep the lights on both. there was a shift energy africa as recently started manufacturing the 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 . yeah, there might be less sun. well, there is a lot of wind. a french company is devised a level we'll pond this and eat. 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 tasks
12:38 pm
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 wind turbines and the kinds of trains for the, for takes when 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 as you get going with and 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,
12:39 pm
again for the winter lines need to be quite far away from the cities. we never see them in the city, so people doubt 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? energy does produce can be used right then in the immediate small i put see, think one tray, you can potentially supply a full pass in the household. so perhaps 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 tank, doing your bids. we share your stories on the move protection and then climate protection to make a preference test. because without the healthy ecosystems,
12:40 pm
we wouldn't survive. that's why we're all the 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 wildlife, from comedians on a boat, which is to ship has and of course of send those mountain guerrillas. but the well being of many of these anymore populations depends on the tireless efforts of people who have dedicated their lives to pro texting them. margaret costume by miss how crucial, what to vision eased for her and her 2 more ranges. looking for the getting the what day for 32. this is

12:44 pm
a special quote dedicated to cases involving purchase identity, good trafficking of protected anymore is an annual projects and punishments a severe just recently. and i bought a treat that was given a life sentence for me that it'd be good for me because of us as a child in contribution it's with that we have a court which was designated to handle white list related cases. that's a bit of, gosh, you've meant for me please us lou, use it to grapple competitive. we've ever cases in court. other very important cases of my da, praises ordering whatsoever. you can imagine it present cuz competing with a wait list case, which one would be given pro to, to be had. margaret customer sees that she and her colleagues from the white glove for 30, no big leasing to impose to the politicians on the quotes. know that to their commitment to their countries, wildlife has benefits for the entire country were sent to you. as i've seen the
12:45 pm
fund population gradually recovering at the same time. there's also been a slight increase in the number of ending jet mountain gorillas, margaret, cuz somebody's now looking forward, so they didn't get quite trained. so no, so reappearing where it belongs. but kinda wired as we go now to somebody in a country who is economy is closely tied to audrey culture, but the 6, the east increasingly on the threats from climate change in the last 10 years. because just contribution to the g. d, p has decreased from roughly 10 percent to just over 3 percent. now one of the challenges dot com, the 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 stocks, hoping the suckers some guys using technology to benefit farmers in nature. this is
12:46 pm
the team behind putting a phone opposite to naples from us to both save money on ground loops with the at small groups of farmers create the so called savings. so members of a circle agree a fixed amount which they then each deposit every month. members can then either draw or lose 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 is a forest need every year for chaco timber. and i've the culture on my colleague and i actually know it, well why to say discussing them, but talk to us convey about time. so those are some form of control and most people couldn't from and various attempts to, you know, cutting down of trees. if they didn't cut down trees to mix up within one thing to
12:47 pm
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 b, keeping workshops grants in the farm as an alternative to talk production says the bees bring the benefits to for the we, for example, costs for the nation and 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 that to me towards the way that they had. it's amaze, sunflower you said benefit due 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 vulnerable to drugs, half of his farm land is now indigenous forest ideal for bees too. far h,
12:48 pm
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 poland savings. so many farmers don't have bank accounts. it's easier for really because he doesn't access, he has to produce, i know often governmental colacho and guy is getting a loan from the people that he stays within the community. and they know him. yeah . so, and that's where you and the interest rate. there's no that's the reason getting the loan 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 informed them when the lenders phillips, eager to trial the system with the new up coming is in
12:49 pm
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 know custodial is working with 2000 be keepers. the stotts up has already sold setty tons of honey in supermarkets, the sweet,
12:50 pm
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 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 process to go and gone as upper east region. animals are vulnerable to diseases like gold
12:51 pm
plague, livestock dysentery, and parasitical infections that cause stomach loading. once you have that you were to go and been a man, i have looms in wisdom, not because i'm making them sick at a new phone. i see. 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 pump. i want them not far from the capital lacrosse scientists are investigating the healing properties of native plants. the government originally established the
12:52 pm
facility to provide alternative health care to local people. and 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 cost to get this of this plus and release them with this? is that the same pharmacy, or, you know, beach as clean to be cheating 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 anti hot ex can lead to high levels of antibiotic residues in animal products.
12:53 pm
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 come with the company leaflet and packaging was we provide this information with this project. if you don't want to provide this a good, there is a disappointment. it says which against 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
12:54 pm
often collect plants and herbs there for domestic use, for indigenous boston as the java james oswald, m as ego, who's the projects lead consultants. these groups are a treasurer 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 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. i mean,
12:55 pm
you know what to do and there aren't any, more of them nearby that. tons for the project is helping us to both planned on protect them 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. if this project catches on gone, i could become a 4 runner in f, no veterinary medicine. i'll treat bolt 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 how be with us on the show. i really hope you enjoy that good by 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 then by
