as well then progress as top calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic that concern us about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w talk costs the the environmental protection, ease mold in 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 that we know you coming to from comp. hello, right here in uganda. 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 kenya sent up on prob hatchery, but 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 harmful to children's education. one young engineering student came up

with a clever idea to help like top 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, whole right, 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 engineering 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 it'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, what 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 $500.00 lanterns, which he's mainly distributed in rural communities. they not only help young people that study the 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 dump says, then it'd be some time the lunch in the tide. choosing solar power, which is

a queen, source of energy. then babylon generates about 1900000 tons of waste annually. nearly 20 percent of that is plastics. environmental list of welcome to innovation like which in google, atlanta, that address the countries plastic waste. the crisis with a huge piles of plastic waste was cities above we reach out to be that feeling to point to that the guides recycling in these plastic ways to feed into the to group innovation is in a way the which was would need more support. there by addressing the different aspects and keeping the environment clean, but also the in a guest picking the playmates to which sees that 3 main crisis is that we're facing, you know, country to maximize the impacts of his invention on the wayne, my young that is teaching young people,

how to build their own lanterns. so 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 they're speaking. so the company and most trusted with, i think i'll soon which of the most, i say 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, 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 what to fit into our tubes, into, to the started to swell. course the able to do the home. we could sit too long and

also to the studies routing using lights that 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 then me in the evening when they came home, they call it the lights. so yeah, same time because having a sustainable mindset and then said that when they go out, they know what straight into it for the environment westgate to do for the payment . uh for the tenants, and that's what we owe passing. i'll say it again is climate change on the way my young does a is to bring lots to more communities without access to electricity. in the long run, he hopes to set up a factory to manufacture the affordable, lots and solution on and i'll just do this weeks eco, he wrote not only these workshops on solar pod, she also runs our own small business. everyone calls the solar queen. but watch out our susie as it is contagious. oh

jim. ok. a default you easily don't have the 27 year old installs solar system like here on the house and shut them, you know, will states and i do. yeah. she's an expert in solar energy and the only woman on the team out of phase is that what i say? it's difficult, it's going to the climate roof puts in. tom is on being like, it's not the holidays, but the nice thing that i'm nice on. if you love what seemed to be able to know so most of this literally patel into her boss and 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 on renewable energy back then she had to convince a customers that's a technology, as well as the expertise were reliable. the way i said to the company as well is

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 damage than that actually, it was determined to fight these kind of prejudice on a truck to move them in to the sector in 2017, she found that the ash, the academy facilitates knowledge and what it was was the man who signed up for the courses we set down to an inquiry 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 over a 100 percent scholarship, 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 in 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 this goals. for example, must seal 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. it is in mil. do me this thing to do was talking about did that. he wouldn't know. and a was who inquiries detailed, this quote means to fill up a new installation. that'd be con. do what you mean? 2 days you're installing a solar system for utility and all your towns,

the hotels used to be connected to the public. tal great. then as far there's no, there's no possible flight. i know the ones who run this kind of business, we have 2 of another ways to power supply. today we, 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 so not in a teen nature yet is huge. but the switch to forcible take 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, 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 sooner clean program alone 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 come tonight, then had to vienna, austria with energy efficiency is the name of the game. but here it takes a very different shape. vienna is building a new and future proof district, and the 2nd installment of all new series. all social media team checks out the high tech weighs the big street plans to save energy of the the small buildings talk to each other

in the end 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 it. ready ready the small 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 shots, populations to combat smuggling. and on type 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 have many species now seriously endangered, because every year and more than $70000000.00 of them, ok. asia is the main market for the bins of popular and expensive delicacy. the markets as with more than 400000000 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 poaching 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. costs as 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 things are going through the board as 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 face. for example, in recent years, this 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 a full, it's 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 venom is similar to that of the scorpion fish that, except is more poisonous. you, we look through in the so we have to be pretty careful. assume it said you, this is the closer you get the idea in unfortunately the fish or ethical people throw line fish may be lovely to look at. but they're among 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. to. the part of i use nicole louse is just a few kilometers away. it's home to one of the few sea food shops, but so lion fish here, shop owner, can you quote, is coco lock is decided to take the plunge 4 years ago today, his employees know how to remove the venomous spines and fillet the fish. but so far, customers haven't quite warmed up to them. i have to promote it because if people don't know it, and after the experts told us that it was okay to eat, we tasted it. if not, then you know it good, good tastes good flavor. and the fishes white inside efforts are underway to grow the market for line fish like this publicity event in the south east of creek, local chefs, hotel and restaurant toners were invited to sample various dishes made with line fish. few lays. 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 purpose, these 2 reviews that, that much of that video face is doing to bake. let's face them. so we find out that so we can promote it with different recipes. so we say, why knows about 900 kilometers north in festa, low nikki, 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 trap. the reason why we're using these stops is because they call a s by guts. so they mostly target, like they have talked to mostly lying face and, and not know native spaces because loan fees are usually attracted by because

auctions, when the line fish gather around the artificial rece, the trump snapshot, 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 scientists . marine biologists dalio cuts in the values explains why line fish have become such a plague. here, intensive remedy. branyon is cheaper than stress color a. hi us many hundreds of other spaces so especially they submitted that item is now quite invaded by many property contributions from the jeep. there's a new environment with climate change is much more to shut the environment, the references when the stores come out was up and, and for the phone decades there were many obstacles for the sections. piece is a lot, i them, a lot of these jobs. that's 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 people 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 with has line fish on the menu. got it almost. we all put 2 different dishes with recipes created by all chef ought to become wiser with. i'm sorry to include tama and scroll down. you're gonna get along with various hubs. and then if you're there, 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 line fish before. this is

my 1st time and i am very, very impressed, and this, this 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 author, tide for crowds from kenya is huge. every month, around $10000.00 tons of quotes, they're an exported around the world's the but demand is so big that now prop population. so i'm just straight as so all the habitats. so is there a way to fund them? so tentatively, what pay the visit to a project striving to do just that whenever the tide is low side degree is out here hunting for my the crowds at the might of creek in what time or 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 due with just one sunday, december's was making fung and broke. i saw these low hills are the result of climate change on 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, was the money to dry season is now much longer than it used to be. crabs prefer rainy weather. i buy the do any work i to of wonder why not then most of side degree is catch ends up in restaurants like the che charlotte, which has been down for its crap. justin and there has been in charge here since 1999. over the years he noticed that the crowds sold to his restaurant with declining in both size and number. so he started looking into breeding them.

what i noticed is that a lot of the mangrove areas on the crab ad is where they have these drugs that to bring 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 of crafts 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. they help to erase the settlement. they also feed on mangrove leaves and other organic mess, 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 need as hatchery is one of the 1st to be established on the african continent to make sure the program succeeds. he holds training sessions edy's hatchery for local firm is then done in the importance of conserving the mode crab and about the symbiotic relationship with a mangrove forest. once the program starts, they'll touch his baby crowds, instead of fishing in the nearby creeks. just in, in years history will sell aquino of eggs to the thomas at about 2 euros $31.00 so mature into crowds. the farm is will release some into the bank of forest and sell some of them to restaurants. you and waste water from the hatch where you can also be used to help regenerate the mangrove virus. i collect 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 mind growth right from the bad stuff from crowds suggested in years hatchery, it says chalet may not singlehandedly solve the issues of as a fishing omen, grove 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. we'll take a look at more environmental initiatives and the people behind them. i and sandra holmes that we know. do you think 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 out from lagos, nigeria take care,

and caesar the

racing chop. oh, and taking the competition and meet the global front run a race and the economic transition to e mobility. you guys in the league where the problem lies and which revision has ready to come, a reality made into w . o, many portion of lots of turn out in the world right now. climate change,

if any, come from the story. this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to act, ongoing success. subscriber for moving. it's like what? i mean. i know. i right just do it and i'm hosting dw new pod cast. thanks. trace amount bother today about joining us as we travel around your, facing the history of every day of that. and that's something right around the world. no need to talk about justice. subscriber id, listen to park. gosh, the more take you along for the ride. actually we don't have

a choice that we have little time list to save the planet. so we have to do whatever we can as fast as possible. we only have one generation left just 25 years to increment the greatest resolution has the tone of the industrial and replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world. without exception is a global energy to information. really possible, a photograph or is it for any reason? research has a working on amazing on. she's how documentary the renewables revolution starts november 25th on dw the

w news by from time in israel approves the deal with her last year and the 4 day policy and 5 thing hom, oswell release, 15 women and children. i've been holding captivate the costs a strict, and we to israel will release power stating into how the restraining presidents and cave makes some of these gains and it's counter offensive against russia training. so if you pass on the remains of the dangerous place for civilians, again after it was liberated from russian occupation here, residents at the coping but the ongoing comp.
