as far as these categories or thoughts, they will grade the . it also says images secuity is an issue from the cab to cairo, means live with all the electricity on those who are connected to the greed leave with frequent blackouts. welcome to a new edition of africa. i am some drug of homes that are coming to from complex, right to amazon to know, let's say a big hello to my colleague t. hi, chris. hi,

sandra, and hello to you. all of us. yes, m a g is off topic once again, but we are concentrating on solutions to the problem. things like renewable energy sources. i am chris alarms coming to you from nigeria, and this is what we have in store for you. this week. also driven motion from jimmy well, soon produced environmentally friendly cross products and by the task up and you wrote best upon the, shall socrates. i'll come back to in for trade in excel. take wed like a photograph of ambrose, the to our shows of how animal pull traits on the press 3 to protect the 1st 5 diversity the and i did sounds, vision can kind of feed africa in numerous ways. it's a jesus dependence on expensive climate damage in force, it feels on it brings energy to remote regions, picky and easily. it also opens up new opportunities to find the thoughts

sustainable systems. currently, many african countries upgrading or expanding the end of the sect is this tap is a life saver every day. it gives people from nearby villages, clean water, something that can be taken for granted in this rural part of central ivory coast. okay. la by little by see there's no water in our village because there's no, well, yep, that's why we come here to get the water. i mean, new south, we'll just tell jenny c for click on. so the water has to be pumped from under ground to, but the area is off the electricity grid instead. solar energy provides the power for the pump from small beginnings, 12 years ago. the settlement which includes a religious center and a home for teenage girls now has full water towers and $24.00 solar panels with a total output of $4500.00 watts. that's enough to power the drinking water

lighting, refrigeration, and communications. would it be if it can fill out in the beginning, there was only one unit test because there was only one house to supply this one play, then came the girl center of money. and after that, the settlement expanded. okay. with 3 new buildings, we partner with that and there were 2 more large buildings. and as time went on, we completed the installation and that's why there are several solar panels arrays here, the bundle finance. it's not just ivory coast rule of good settlements, but also its urban areas that can benefit from renewable energy. the challenge is how to safely build up infrastructure and ensure reliable supply. in 2022 full professional associations joint forces to form a federal ration. so they could speak to the government with one voice. for example, when it comes to dealing with surplus electricity, the sweat don't, we'll just have stuff. we would like to see the sector authorize to feed

electricity into the national grid to come up with these when you are a table to consume all the solar energy you produce. and you can't diverted to the grid to lose out. and that reduces the added value of solar investments. and this is a month, oh my goodness. that's a pressing question for invest as, as ivory coast has pledged to increase the shape of renewables and its energy mixed to 42 percent by 2013 in the north of the country. the book g. all the solar farm is the 1st of more than a dozen project aimed at reaching the target. the 78 heck to facility overseen by the state owned a c i n a cheese cost 14000000 euros. it was made possible by a load from germany's k f w development bank, and a drunk from the european union of the call with aiming to produce 5100 megawatts of electricity for cookies was including around 400

megawatts of solar power. we have a number of projects with private sects upon those, but the bungee any power plant is the 1st to be built by the state. building the power plant is expected to generate $37.00 megawatts of power enough to supply $30000.00 households per year. and such projects create more than just electricity . they boost employment. john says all the women under represented in the green energy sector, the german development agency, g i 's. it has set up a mentoring program to count to that. this energy project manager has taken a young student under her wing and is helping her to find an internship. one of the you have to take these courses seriously and make the most of them by asking lots of questions. the electrical engineer says she remembers what her career thought was like and really wants to see change. i mean, out of 15 engineers, i was the only woman that's already a problem right there from what we need to raise awareness more generally to tell

women that it's possible to do this g funk because it's simple, seem to fit 0 for the pro fair mentoring. project names to increase the proportion of women in the renewable sector from 25 percent to 40 percent in the near future. it may be, you remember a report with the a few months ago about a co pallets made the bush growth. now, young people in month of glasgow working on a project to produce and fire mentally friendly, feels from view new able sources. what are the same time stopping trees from being cuts down? what is right, crease and the special thing about these projects is that the german college students a quite a bright thing on the projects, the young people from both countries coming together to bring the project a step closer to to make the most efficient growth pallet.

that's one focus if you williams bought this must, as this is the center of innovative energy systems that does sort of university union is also working on cooking staves, to optimize the growth, pilot, fuel and help reduce deforestation in motor gasket of the condition where it fits into the cause and then we can just deliver more efficiently, those to countries in the global south and say this will help a little and understand by them for what would only have a minimal effect on reducing deforestation that. and that's why we said we also need to develop a more efficient alternative fuel. the original idea came from members of the mallet, got the students and environmental organization. as you pass, they constructed eco friendly, staves, and made fuel pallets from compressed across. the students then brought into local communities for testing. the students from gemini, sold the projects during a visit to madagascar. i'm want you to develop it so that what tentative feel is in

dire need and not a gasket. what deforestation has that a massive impact? traditionally, people have cut down to use to make taco fuel for cooking. 6 now only 10 percent of the original 4 is covered remains a devastating habitat last so many species on on, on miss kansas glossy is widespread in southern monica vasquez, wherever it enjoys. rapid robust grace. locals often done it to clear fields, a dangerous technique that causes many wildfires. the cheap, her team identified midst comes across as a valuable resource and a source of income for residents. we are planning to make like a must see mass production of these uh pallets and at the same time, most production of the so specific stover that these uh, these uh, compatible with these uh pallets and the we are going to promote it in the whole country i mean, learning gemini, the students from decibels, university, aided by

a local vocational school set to work on designing a solar powered pilot factory designs to enable the mass production, little tentative fuel and not a gasket shopping machine. on hamilton, the gross, independent, the 20th century can be dismantled to states into, to shipping containments, with the production costs of some 70000 euros, collected by a crowd funding all for if we just testing everything on the web, then to help build it, we'll send of a students who are working on the project on who are doing this, these, these on it, but yeah, martha, he is out today we worked with the school class to prepare the construction problem . for example, we pre drilled the roof from a so the on site to assembly will be easier. that way we would have to do and drilling down this and we can just screw it together, you know, to them or solve missing. the pilot factory is testing and done and then go key in

southern mother gasket the site was chosen because of the abundance of miss kansas cross here on them. you will not free lunch. they will not be in april. we normally start cutting and collecting grass again. so you see of a lot of this is the time when it grows everywhere. hey, a great the payments and i mean case it rains after we've gotten the crust in april and then we'll get a 2nd tom and you know, to follow up the on to mid 3. hundreds and the village will profit from this project and will keep. yeah. and people weren't home the forest. any made mity shoot on most it will be replenished with and the situation will improve have been has a 10 times. it'll start again a $35.00 quino bag of chuckle costs full year rates, the same amount of gross pilots, just $3.00, which could help the new fuel cap shown. if we are successful out that the suffering by the scott,

then we are going to spread the plan to end the technical in the whole country. digital. if you need team of such a not for profit company to support the venture with the test phase successful, the pilot foot tree has been packed into the shipping containers. and it's expected to be set up in mount augusta in october to see what is all unique or the less substance quenches are sauced helps us regulate heat on transport goods. we even slide to squeeze influx of it, because more and more people and also need access to these costs results. so through sandra, only 3 percent of the woods, what the result is, a drink about the rest, the selling agent polluted or an accessible evicted from. gone is drawing the attention to the value of this important results with an equally unique campaign

you. but that's it has put on head cost and made recycled slips due to the studies this women of a 11 kilometers. is it this, then she'll cover every day for 40 days. and that's an overall root of 450 kilometers is passing along the volta river. and then to lake volta, the world's largest artificial reservoir. it's one of the few lakes and gunnar, that is so clean enough to swimming and activist in every business and type in a tetra as part of a scientific expedition that's seeking to draw attention to the pollution of gone as waterways so much of the reason that i'm part of this expedition and working with a cruise to do this research is because it is so encouraging and so amazing to be able to swim and simple to river like this. and i love to see other works for buddies and so on. and specifically across the, the swimming the again, stethoscope containing against environmental collusion,

some ages ago. and that's when she came into contact with the oil foundation and environmental justice nonprofit, the organized expedition other members of the team also spend time on the water to take samples from various points along the route. here we can see the color is very different from the rest of the water that we've been as swimming along. so he is a green, it's really changes. i mean, it depends on the places where we, uh, if we are close to villages, for example, we will be collecting some samples for back to a logical tax. if we are close to factories or industrial areas, we will be checking for heavy metals, for example. like yeah, the other villages better, which now has a number of industrial sites like the sun mine, the pollution it creates has had a devastating impact on the local fishing industry. the area you still have lots of fish this. yeah. the overall look good. then all the fish are gone

to the center of the san mining and the leg has destroyed our livelihood sign. a cool is yeah, like well how me the we are fisherman. again. that's how we make a living and assessing, and it's a name, but now we even struggle to find enough fish to eat ourselves. and that the guidelines, acosta often on the mining industry, is going to only harming the environment. it also makes the process of purifying drinking water, much more expensive the spectrum work that would suit motto, settlement, and so the pension generally be broken down more often than anticipate. so possible for meeting us on these forms also both and the, the, the 2 of us will have to be back to our what time, what are we done most of what we use and that's just one problem. chemicals and ways from households and other industries. also good time, they the water long with many of 15000000 items of 2nd hand clothing center gone

every week over 50 percent of it ends up in huge weight feeds and across the good the old foundation is loving the government but also wants to raise public awareness of just how harmful the waste is, the important loading waste in particular. so many people don't even understand that we have a 2nd. another thing coming from the level to the global south, or that there are other issues that are affecting the policy if i want to. so what we want to do is really hope to bring attention in awareness to the quality of the water and the issues that i play here to get people involved. this was the fact that the 1st booming campaign is feeling tight but optimistic that one day given the lagoon and across once again the clean enough to swim in and 2022 the you adopted

a revised action planned to come back to the legal trade in wide life, it includes stronger controls and strict sections if the animals are supported illegally from the country of all region. well until the system takes full effect. big predatory costs reptiles, a red, but species continued to be brought to europe illegally. spain has become a gateway to wildlife, smoke like a heart is still in the wild. but now can you live as an enclosure in a spanish animal shelter near a country? the female clouded leopard is only 11 months old, which he has suffered greatly. a caregiver belly died is nursing her back to health clinic outside of the yellow. she was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her to the main. she must have been poorly fed from the start of my life and she's even gone blind. the private breeder now has to

face the authorities for violating the convention on international trade in endangered species. the east asian founded leopards is also an endangered species. so can you, is a rarity. spain has become a gateway for a legally traded exotic species. the police often find them when inspecting ships arriving in a country from the nearby continent of africa. maria, paste their works for a special environmental crime unit. passenger luggage here that the airports, she's found birds, snakes, and torches. for another like it's so sad. left side topic will be so ruthless, people have no problems about tearing these animals from their habitat. no, not in treating them like twice when i say that i'm my being forwarded to this

police video from september 2021 shows the liberation of a female chimpanzee. who would be alone in a cage for 5 years? the illegal imports of protected animals are rising. in 2022 smuggling into spain increased by more than half compared to the previous year. a full service and in 3 minutes total organized criminals are often behind it up and then by ability. think of some of the things you need contacts in the country of origin to find the animals in it. and you need a network in europe to import them and they will seal this as a highly profitable business benson carrier for a monkey. for example, it might cost $5.00 or 6 years in africa. and here it can fetch 2000 bureaus or more high level, or include so much according to the world wildlife fund. this global business is worth billions. so if you

d as says the illegal animal trade comes 3rd after drugs and weapons. but it's impact is underestimated a sedan and i think all the items on the go as arms trafficking and drug smuggling are taking more seriously. more effort is put into enforcement, wiley and board on illegal animal trafficking is just a serious, but it isn't seen as such. it's not pursued and prosecuted as often that makes these crimes even more lucrative. we look at the the thirty's don't have enough specialists to investigate properly. and animals are often rescued when it's too late. as with can you the collaborative leverage? the fact that they lost the yellow she's to use to people and she's blind in the wild. she would never be able to deal with her own species. she was raised in captivity, so she's condemned to

a life in captivity and go through with it so. so with this illegal trade makes, can you and many other wild animals like current products that lose their freedom forever. what's a sad story and many people don't even realize that the trade in exotic animals threatens the bio diversity in the places with those are the most come from but one man from december community, can you just fight it against the white life tree? exactly, crease. ambrose is online stoke summit, but he does have a talent for photographing and he wants to use his pictures to show the device the and the beauty of he's 90 region is all equal. he will. the sweet

a little to is a man of many talents. he knows exactly what he's doing and the 30 year old canyon is also a talented photographer. he says he began taking pictures to help him better understand his environment. and so the one thing that does really put them into our lives, they'll grab just about it, but watching. so i was just wanted to take up the offer to hop on, but so like, i'm able to identify that this has been able go conservancy and central can. yes, i'm bruce little, i works here off to studying wildlife management and conservation at the college by taking photos of the many animals that live here ambrose hopes we can raise awareness of spc that a vulnerable for reason is dangerous. many locals have seen his pictures and he

often visits schools to talk to young people about the environment what the vision most of the like, elephant as well as did alpha and the other wonder if that thread and the, the only thing that they're going to be able to use is for the program on the just the 10 home on the new for said the out of the out that i didn't the out and they want to share this study. you need to of a frontal what i feeling i'm verse betrays animals such as the african left, but that at risk from poaching. i lots of habits. he's even fountain red black let's. it's for the messiah photography that the biggest subject to the big cats is climate change for minute, the plan space is that disappearing? yeah. just because of the claimant's and there is no rains in this area we, we face a very diverse did thing. k, the drug, and i'm the because i may so in the not be about that before die in the low. but in

the past where like, another threat is that locals have often killed liquids because the 2nd lives still, which is the livelihood of many people here. i'm bruce's building understanding that's community level. these women used to see, let the does enemies. now they work to protect them as leopards, a truck to wherever is. and that means drugs they call themselves to momma's or liquid. mom is we have come to understand the close of each one and then put them over it. because now the formation of 3, my, my, us, me a little foods such as new sources of income, the women's collective mix jewelry and so on has no even built their own sense with the proceeds. this wild lives kids results center in the middle of the savannah. what school founded by bruce led to lie equipped with reading material and by not kayla's. these kids are on the safari today,

the bud spotting and the trip is proving inspirational. integrated the with selma who level now i want to educate people of the importance i'm convinced them to still quote you all for fun. so now i know the children are also aware of the financial benefits of conservation. given that if i am a customer, i would like to protect these animals because they help the country is going to change it so far, it's always and brings us money. people come to see that i know and, and that generates revenue your best. so it helped improve people standard of living it to give me the name of bruce before this was done, this is literally why says he's optimistic about the future because it seems that young people are becoming more environmentally aware. that is how you would since day. so you just ended because i did become able to land to say that i'm and so i'm

going to send that to learn about 12 day. of course, i won't feed him to take a for the most of this particular, but on the line that he won't even know some names is pictures of the some plants that do funding this particular area. and they know the use. so that is somebody that makes me happy. the local elephant population remains that consists in 2019400 of them were counted in the nearby lou sabbott conservancy. and bruce, let's so do i hopes that he's what can help ensure a safe future for them? the time just little by this week, so fast, it was great having you with us. we hope all shield was both entertaining and informative. remember we all need to take care of the environment. that's this week's episode. no, it is a good buy for me right here. in comp, hello, you get a good buy for me tonight area. if you want to know more, take out also shoot me the channels shown on your screen. i'm crusoe looms and i

look forward to seeing you again next week. good by the, the the
