10:30 am
the sauce, it's getting cold. the rates of holding sign and the volunteers will winter season mission kids particular scene rebuild jobs, move indices, double 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,
10:31 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 meeting when so by 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 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 energy makes a transition to green. the options is urgently needed. of course,
10:32 am
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. you, 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 bits smaller than usual, and also more affordable. the company hopes it's phone field advantage will give us a competitive edge over imported time. what makes us specially 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,
10:33 am
well 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 faster. see, 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. 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 slide,
10:34 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, can, 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. low children has become parts of daily life. sometimes there are over 10 hours of allergies a day, the significance of calls. so the economy has come, 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,
10:35 am
i think with the 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 installed africa 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 it 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 and power crisis. at this facility cakes cross
10:36 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 the and looking to expand their renewable energy capacity. responsible for utilizing just follow generates a through the throughout the day. but really looking for 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'll be generated throughout solar right. to carry us related shipping always in the evening. and time being taken to within the next 3 to 3 years to be completely solved lines from. i'll follow you, timothy, and run kelly or battery inside the paulette during dialogue dollars. as well as during load shipping. currently being able to install sola is a privilege for logic businesses with small companies like in the capital phones to
10:37 am
install major systems, to keep the lights on fox. 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. it will leave off again, had nothing to euro. yes, as tenable energy solutions are also being explored here, there might be less sun while there is a lot of wind. a french company is devised a level will pond has to meet 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
10:38 am
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 the next one, for us environmental protection and animal protection go hand in hand which and really started to invest in a wind tree to generate some green energy. and to stair was away from our dependency on oil and gas of gym and put 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 lease contains so 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 urban areas. because you,
10:39 am
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? she needs to be a energy that's produced can be used right then in the immediate small i put see me 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 school, 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,
10:40 am
we wouldn't survive. that's why we're only to can see that the environmental consequences of many of the physicians we are the 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 cheetos. 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 pro texting them margaret costume by miss how crucial, what deficient eased for her and how to move ranges, looking for the getting the what day for 32. this is
10:41 am
a real moment to do next issue. they frequently put to their lives the line in order to predict to be a country is wide life, margaret, customer, executive, and that of the fight against bush's and you can, doesn't, national parks had, you'll be highly dangerous. one, sometimes we are confronted with people who are you quite a like us, like the porch was we have a 14, 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 going to the front of the police? shenise? no, but up to over $5000.00. i knew most the songs to the ring. just tyler skiff. what's dictation? what's the site is not over. in 2019. the real quick amount of ivory. we gain a total of over 3 tons of tasks. holes that goes to the lights of over $350.00
10:42 am
elephant. actually hundreds of put us on average every yeah, we prosecute about 400 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 for those across the national parks, you can, that has an ambitious goal to reintroduce they had to fight train those to the wired for 2 years left approaches wiped them out. this the was century in century. you can use the proud home of the only wild saw 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
10:43 am
and i'll miss her training. they will be passing out soon. they will come to reinforce the already existing range of was perfect, that 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 pin no cheese for pushing or trading protected dining most or this particular law has given us freezing space, at least as they commit offenses. the criminals know what is coming for them. if we happen to get to them, you're going to know has
10:44 am
a special quote dedicated to cases involving purchase, daily, good trafficking of protected dynamos, and any more products and punishments a severe. yes, recently, and i bought a tree that was given a life sentence for me that it'd be better for me because of us as a chain contribution. with that we have a court which was dismissed at $200.00 wildlife related cases that's available. the gus you've made for me, please us hello, use it to grapple compacting. we've ever cases in court of a very important cases of my, the previous one whatsoever. you can imagine that present cuz competing with a wait list case, which one would be given priority to be had. margaret 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 is wildlife, has benefits for the entire country were sent to you as i've seen daily fund
10:45 am
population gradually recovering. at the same time, there's also been a slight increase in the number of indian jet mounted guerrillas. my brief cuz somebody's now looking forward to 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 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 this contribution to the g d. p halls 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
10:46 am
the team behind pulling a phone opposite to naples from us to both save money. i'm drunk, little with the app. small groups of farmers create the so called saving, 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 hector's, a far as i need every year for chaco timber. and i the culture on my colleague and i x and email that way, i like to say discussing them, but i thought was conveying at that time. so those are some form of control and most people couldn't from, and so they did so to, to, you know, cutting down of trees. if they didn't cut down trees to mix up within one thing to
10:47 am
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 to talk production says the bees bring us the benefits to for the we, for example, cost for the nation, 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 him, it towards the way that they had. it's amaze, sunflower, you said, benefits you to both of you. philip zulu is a small scale, meas, pharma. he has diversified in to be keeping them fish farming, making him far less vulnerable to drugs. half of his farmland is no indigenous forest ideal for bees to forage,
10:48 am
but be has the expenses for 20 heis zulu needed the equivalent of $500.00 use an amount which you would now be able to go to the poland saving so many farmers don't have bank accounts, it's easier for really because he doesn't to access, he has to produce enough off and document for collection and guy is getting run from the people that just stays within the community. and they know him. yeah. so, and that's where you and the interest rates as no, that's the reason getting along because it's kind of 2 in the saving 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 often demanded by informal money lenders. don't. the phillips who is eager to trial the system with the new app calling is in
10:49 am
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, london. mobile. i think it would be helpful because people to see them money is a correlation. people can borrow without the the, the signing of the contract. the agreements as long as your balance is tiring. 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 cassandra is working with 2000 beekeepers. the stotts up has already sold sexy tons of honey in supermarkets for sweet,
10:50 am
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 simpler and foster to implement those rights and dropped in on next report way. nothing done up with animal breed is our re discovering truck dition and knowledge they're looking for in digital expertise to kill sick animals. a tim via the 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, a new go and gone as upper east region. animals are vulnerable to diseases like god,
10:51 am
plague livestock, dysentery, and parasitical infections that cause stomach loading was the other day. you were the man, i have looms in the stomach because i'm making them sick at a new phone and 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 illness. 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 to be a good time beer, this part of a major interdisciplinary project to implement f, no veterinary medicine and gone a, the at the center for plant medicine research and the town of men pump ok, welcome not far from the capital lycra. scientists are investigating the healing properties of native plants. the government originally established the facility
10:52 am
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 awful course was to look awful. what does the trims cheap of the splunk? what is the, what's the activities of these plants and release them with the diseases stuck dease and thomas for them to be just clue 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 antibiotics can lead to high levels of antibiotic residues in animal products.
10:53 am
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 a company leaflet. and packaging was, we provide this information where this project is it that would provide this evidence of disappointment. it says which a gauge the disease that's re are which it reps that the fluids depends dots. these met says final vicious course, if verbal treatments do become more accepted, sourcing these medicinal plants will also be an issue. and gun a, there are sacred groves that are preserved for ceremonial reasons. local people
10:54 am
often collect plants and herbs there for domestic use, for indigenous botanist and java. james oswald, i'm an ego. who's the project's lead consultants, these groves or a treasure that could make a real difference to livestock? farmers. that means now they come prepared and go defended these guy said more farmers. so that was a have into production of i'm most therefore that was good to be angry because do have a good number off the 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 in the forest. the project gave him exclusive use of an herb garden. 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 dogwood doll. uh, but yeah, look to you,
10:55 am
these plans patients are hard to find out like we 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 so that when we need them, but it will 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. the vouch revolt is a good remind to vows we already have many of the answers to the problems facing upon it. if we just know where to look great 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 then by
