and we are all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring you the story behind the news. we roll about unbiased information all 3 months. done the, the environmental protection is more than just a boss woods. it encompasses how we can solve resources. we use or carbon footprint, and also how it helps communities as rise. today we'll take a look at how it college go. solutions can improve people's lives, as well as protect the natural wallet. hello, and welcome to

a new edition of equal africa. i and son drug, a holmes, the 3 of you coming to from comp hello. right? yes. you got it. hello, sandra, you us? so right. protecting our planet from the many selected faces is how we can make sure it is livable for us and future generations. i am, chris allows joining you from lagos chairs. will this coming up? how people are free to trying to turn the tide on the beautiful but dangerous fish species? and why of restaurant o 9? can you set up on prob, patrick? what's the 1st we had to zimbabwe, way access to electricity remain. so traveling for roughly 50 percent of the population. in fact, that's the is as low as 30 percent of the areas this energy poverty is especially helpful to children's education. one young engineering student came up with

a clever idea to help lights up the night, and it's a win win solution. even after nightfall. these young people in the rural community of mine who sec, with some 70 kilometers south east stoves in by police capital robbery to not have to put the ethics away. that's thanks to the solar power line. that's a made from recycled materials. ends in badly, roughly 70 percent of the rural population have no access to electricity. the only lights that used to be available here came from kerosene lamps, a 25 year old l. away. my younger is an electrical engineer in graduates, an inventor of what she calls, but she's good phone lantern. jan google roughly translates as a plastic container to him, we get a lot of uh, sorted out of it. so like you'd lead the lights that way. no longer functioning in

the tim, i think it was doing some busy itself electronics. it's cool. so i figured out that i could be able to fix these lights to tell him that a face that tim with the challenge of the kissing. so the best way, and i thought maybe i could just put this delay that 8 seats in the plastic waste portal using discarded plastic puzzles. my younger has now made more than 500 lanterns, which he's mainly distributed in rural communities and they not only help young people that study. it contributes to a secular economy. a glance in innovation is tackling the problem of plastic waste, which is contributing significantly to clement to climate change. so by addressing this problem we are using close to with. and so you have to using the amount of waste that just reaching our done, says then it'd be sometime the lunch in the tide. choosing solar power, which is

a green source of energy. ready then babylon generates about 1900000 tons of waste annually. then the 20 percent of that is splashed fixed environmental list of welcome to innovation, select which in global land to that address, the countries plastic waste. the crisis with a huge piles of plastic waste was cities and bubbling, which of these are freely to compete that the guides recycling this plastic waste to feed into the tube. the innovation is in a way deal which was would need more support there by addressing the different aspects and keeping the environment clean. but also the in a guest picking deployments to which these are 3 main crisis is that we're facing, you know, country to maximize the impacts of his invention. wayne, my young that is teaching young people how to build their own lance and the

elementary school is visits in today is completely of grades invented and g, as i believe in educating these young people because they have the same sense if they are more knowledgeable on how best we can solve the problem of plastic with i think i'll soon which of the most us enabled the young inventor has also installed a solar system at the school, which allows the students to charge the nonsense during the day. i'm excited about making sure glanton is it, is this an as well how to keep the environment clean according to the school authorities? the students grades have improved now that they can keep studying after doc, and this is actually motivated. our turns into to the started to swell course. be that able to do the home we could sit along and also to

the side these readings using the lights that are going to use the light. it's nights and tomorrow morning when they come back to school, they bring the lights with them and it is charged. and they me in the evening when they came home, they call it the headlights. so yeah, same time because having a sustainable mind searching them so that when they go up the know what straight into for the environment, frustrated to for the payment for the tenants. and that's what we owe policy. and i'll say duncan is climate change on the way my young. this is to bring large jamal communities without access to electricity. in the long run, he hopes to setup a factory to manufacturer of the affordable lots and solution on. and i'll just do this week's eco, he wrote not only these workshops on solar pod, she also runs our own small business. everyone calls the soul a queen. but watch out our susie as it is contagious. oh,

do you? okay. i do. full gee, isn't easy, don't to the 27 year old installs solar system like he's on the housing, shut them in the states and i do. yeah. she's an expert in solar energy. i'm the only woman from the team. oh no. say in you know what, i say it's difficult going through the claimant roof. put santano's on being like it's not the holidays, but the nice thing that i'm nice on. if you love what seems to be able to know so most of this literally patel into her book, an mentor is dumber than that actually known as the solar queen. she found it has selected company back in 2007, when only a few with bits and all renewable energy back then she had to convince a customers that had technology as well as the expertise were reliable. the way i

such a because me as all these get the question, do you know what you're saying? can i speak with you? my judge? i'm showing you, you can ask somebody to pick up was use all of these badges that made me once you actually do more than that. actually, it was determined to fight these kind of prejudice on a truck to move him into the sector. in 2017, she found that the ash, the academy facilitates knowledge in which it was the man who signed up for the courses be sucked out until inquiry mobile made to apply for the training. and this was actually what, what, what about the select queen selection and the doctor's name? it's actually sometimes of an older percentage collection with a scholarship for women was the answer. she was able to recruit and use companies and the german development agency sponsors. so a queen scholarship windows between 19 and 20 to 9 years old,

and many have new previous experience. over the course of 3 months, the participants learn to install and maintain photovoltaic systems. at the end, they receive a certificate that tickets to a new job. we need to close the gap and even the display we need to close the gap into technical space. and we need to have a student who met also of approaches in these goals. for example, must see or not being on mary. i any of the company zoom? logitech mostly used to work in sales for the company and maybe it was a makeup artist quite to leap. or is it miller? do me need this thing to do? was talking about did you want to know? and a was to inquiry, did you tell this? call me to fill out a new eastern new. sure. that'd be can do what you me. ok. today the stalling is solar system for utility and all your town. the hotels used to be connected to the

public. tal great, there's 4, there's no, there's no pos apply. i know if they want to run this kind of business, we have 2 of another ways to power supply to the re i still in a 5 k v, a solar panel system. so far around 250 women have completed the solar queen trina more than 9000 tough taking part in training courses and seminars on. so that technology, we need even more says that we know that the potential for full energy in nigeria is huge. but the switch to photo voltaic systems is difficult, not only because of money, but also due to a lack of skilled worker. nigeria, we have about 60 percent, of course we don't really, we don't assist in it's and that 50 percent of the problem, the country. so we didn't want to see the problems kind of solved by one precedent

. and that's why i definitely know that shelley is hoping for more women like to look at the quote. for former students takes women from the sewer looking program a long to work with. today, the quicken the kiosk in the bundle with the minnesota policy stay for the quote you, it's a routine assignment for her students. it's a milestone guessing solar energy to light up the darkness. now let's say it's contents and had to vienna austria where energy efficiency is the name of the game . well, here it takes a very different shape. vienna is building a new and future proof district. and the 2nd installment of all new series of social media team checks out. the high tech weighs the big street plans to save energy for the the small buildings talk to each other

in vienna is new is district communication is key. the buildings are producing solar energy and it connected shuttle if one building needs small power the others can provide. ready the best smoke building is equipped with thousands of senses. so researches can study how buildings can efficiently sham out the buildings consume about 40 percent of global energy. so making them more efficient can make a real difference. time now to leave west africa and head to the cost of stuff. half of good just means of course the, the ability to see in some parts of the world and the illegal global tread is booming, shrinking shop populations to combat the smuggling. and on pipe 14 organizations

come up with an unconventional prevention method this week on doing give it the shocks have lived on it to move in full 150000000 years. and you had many species now seriously endangered, because every year, more than $70000000.00 of them. ok. asia is the main market for the bins of popular and expensive delicacy to market as with mold and full 100000000 years. each species of shock can be identified by its been something the wildlife protection organization traffic is making use of and it's fights against coaching in south africa. employee scan in real shocks, and that allows the computer to create the exact 3 d models of them. the 3 d printer then built to copy and that's when the autistic pause at the top begins

shock, since i'm not only different and shame each species has its own typical coloring which makes it unique. all the details are included. the aim of these 3 d printed models is to enable anyone to identify a shock species using them. customs officials can use them and can you essentially help stop any illegal fins being smuggled through the borders? it's a big gap in the legal shock trade and a lot of these funds are going through our board is undetected. this tool can really help in stopping the needs of the official fin is also a quoted, a q r code, this case, customs officials more information about the particular species, allowing them to respond immediately if they find fins from protected shocks, rights and marine spaces such as shocks need to be protected and the more people

know about them, the better what they look like once they need to survive, and also what they belong. because increasingly, we are seeing spaces for the in places where they don't belong. as the oceans role woman, non native species are moving in to fly and fish. for example. in recent years, they've swamp halfway around the road and have now reached the mediterranean and creek. they are causing all sorts of problems on any sort of almost what do you opening smiles, it's supposed to fix a huge problem. and what do you say the young fish and all the smaller fish one or throws them website out? a few years ago here near the eastern coast of crete, line fish were just the bycatch. now the nets are full of them, especially in early summer. today's catches and particularly

good, but the crew did net plenty of line fish. one is trapped, the spiny, fisher venomous. so the fisher has to be careful of this, of the you, this and these here are the venomous spikes in the southern panama, similar to that of the scorpion fish that i accept is more poisonous. you, we look through in the so we have to be pretty careful. i presume it said you, this is the closer you get the idea in unfortunately the fish or ethical people throw is your mind. fish may be lovely to look at. but the most invasive species in the world, they arrived here through the suez canal and are thriving in the waters that have grown warmer as a result of climate change. researchers say that encouraging local fishers to catch them and control their population would help and blind fish are

tasty, but they haven't caught on with consumers yet. on the part of ios nicole louse is just a few kilometers away. it's home to one of the few sea food shops that sell lion fish here, shop owner and can you quote, is coco lock. he's decided to take the plunge 4 years ago. today, his employees know how to remove the venomous fines and fuel a the fish. but so far, customers haven't quite warmed up to them. i have to promote it because they have people don't know it. an officer, the experts told us that it was okay to eat. we tasted it. it's hot then you know and good. the tastes good flavor and the fishes white inside. efforts are underway to grow the market for line fish like this publicity event in the southeast of creek, local chefs, hotel and restaurant toners were invited to sample various dishes made with line fish relays. it's

a competitive industry which here the participants can share ideas for recipes and learn how to better market the fish. just as important though, is that the organizers want to raise awareness of the ecological benefits of eating line fish our main papers. these 2 reviews that, that much of that rely on face is doing to a cost system. so we find out that the we can promote it with different the recipes. so we say, why knows about 900 kilometers north in festa, low nicky. we visit the headquarters of i see an independent environmental organization that promote sustainable fishing. they're also looking for solutions for invasive species like the line fish in a pilot project. they're testing a special tramp. very reason why we're using these stops is because they called s by gods. so they mostly target, like they have talked to mostly lying face and, and not the native species. because alone fees are usually attracted by technical

instructions. when the line fish gathered around the artificial rece, the trump snapshots the trap was patented in the united states. now the 1st fishers have started testing a smaller and lighter version in the mediterranean. i see also works with scientist, marine biologist dalio scott, somebody about cuz explains why line fish have become such a plague. here, intensive remedy, branyon is cheaper than stress. come on a hi us many hundreds of other spaces, especially the eastern mid. that item is now quite invaded by many property contributions from the jeep. there's a new environment with climate change is much more should the environment, the references, when the stores come out was up and, and for the phone decades there were many obstacles for the sections. b, c is a lot. i mean that means that i lot of these objects where the short legs

gradually the salinity wasn't used to notice salinas, the, these are huge on these are very similar to the southern looking good. that's now issues from that. she probably should still be knowledge cypress. what i to the fact and create a batch of fresh line fish the lays type of just been delivered. it's a specialty here. one of the few places that has line fish on the menu got it. almost. we offer 2 different dishes with recipes created by all chef ought to become wiser with, i'm sorry, thank you. tyrone law and scroll down. you're going to get along with various hubs . and then after that some of the most popular dishes on the menu on the side, i see whether local or tourist. everyone who tries to dishes is one over this visit or from poland had never heard of the line fish before. this is

my 1st time and i am very, very impressed, and this fish is so this is the boats have headed back out again. the more the line fish market continues to grow, the better for local fishers and the marine ecosystem. and know for another delicacy from the see any book crowds, the global appetite for crowds from kenya is huge. every month, around $10000.00 tons of quotes, they're an exported around the world. the but demand is so big that now prop populations on the threads as so all the habitats. so, is there a way to fund them so tentatively will pay the visit to a project striving to do just that. when the tide is low sided, guido is out here hunting for mud crabs at the might of creek, in what time will can leave the county. it has been his daily routine for the past

30 years. he used to catch about 10 crabs a day, but due to of a fishing on a good day, he's glad to find 5. this time he'll have to make do with just one telling isn't doesn't making fun and broke. i saw these low hills are the result of climate change and black ones, and he hardly, i hear welcome back. and that's where most of the problems lie gone. i'm ready for your help of the money to dry season is now much longer than it used to be. crabs prefer rainy weather, about a do any work? i do wonder why not. then most of side degree is catch ends up in restaurants like the che charlotte, which is renowned for its cry. justin and there has been in charge. he has since 1999. over the years he noticed that the crowd sold to his restaurants were declining in both size and number. so he started looking into breeding them.

what i noticed is that a lot of that mangrove areas on crab areas where they have these drugs, dental growing naturally, was depleted. there was no more crap in these areas. and that even though you had very big funds for crab, but there was no more crap. the crabs and mangrove, sorry as share a symbiotic relationship. when disrupted it can have adverse ecological effects. crowds live and breed in the mind. groves while digging their burrows that help to erase the settlement. they also feed on mangrove leaves and other organic nasa, which means the nutrients get recycled. the crabs are very good in terms of the ecological monitoring because they tend to leave among them is completely integrated. you're not find the cause of them so that i mean, it gets out of the model of in the bottom and the child is the dwindling crab stocks just in a near decided to set up

a hatchery in 2017. most of the worlds hatcheries are found in asia. a news hatchery is one of the 1st to be established on the african continent. to make sure the programs succeeds, he holds training sessions, edy's hatchery full local farm is. then during the importance of conserving the mode crab and about the symbiotic relationship with the mangrove forest. once the program starts, they'll touch his baby crowds instead of fishing in the nearby creeks. justin in years history will sell aquino of eggs to the thomas at about 2 euros $31.00 so mature into crabs. the farm is will release some into the bank with forests and sell some of them to restaurants. you and waste water from the hatch where you can also be used to help regenerate demand growth virus. i collect at mangrove seed that washes up on our beach. you put them in this month or that waste water because

it is full of, of, of a good stuff for mangroves, but bad stuff for crabs. the mag growth, right from the bad stuff from crowds suggested in years hatchery. it says shot a may not single handedly solve the issues of, of assessing all mangrove conservation on the canyon coast boss. it says any one step in the right direction, that's all for the addition of equal off we go. i hope you like the she'll join us next week when we'll take a look at more environmental initiatives and the people behind them. i and sandra holmes that we know you said good bye from come from right to in uganda, a vice sandra. i also hope everyone good joins us again next week. in the meantime, all the best for me, chris, the legs finding off from legal smite, jerry, i take care. and caesar

the

because i came out of the the big stuff this week. we are in vegas nigeria, and would you believe me if i told you that this country was 300 as well? that's a book that you can sometimes get the phone wage resulting to try but the 77 percent in success. jimenez. d w. the

3 is the most powerful woman, little sister of the dictate to mysterious strategic. who is can you tell me? you can say she represents a mixture of expectations. hands is appointments. the thing is, do they get to the read princess stuff, november 25th on dw, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow or bring 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
