in santa houses, reconstructions but the end of dream of revolution. july 20th on d, w. the if we humans work with rather then it gives nature, we can help us selves our environment and our fellow creatures. welcome to eco africa. i'm chris allows illegals nigeria. well, every living creature has a role to play in each ecosystem, and sometimes they can do even more than we actually realize on the switch show will be looking at the many sizes that nature provides. i m, sandra, go holmes,

that we nobody else. right yet in complex uganda is yep, yep. how rooms are transforming west to being to well saving maybe single plants on stopping of role should in burundi. raise to scale up solar pallet in ivory coast. but we start right here in uganda. when lunch lights are becoming increasingly coleman. no change in renfield pots and on deforestation are the root of the problem as in many parts of the world. so what can be done to secure the hills and the mountain sides? well, it's all unlikely, but one answer is, be keeping the news. the lamp light is still fresh. so is these families are the slope of simply being gone? for the last 2 weeks, fortunately,

no one will change it. see the lines labels an alarm signal, not for the 1st time here on eastern new guns as mount outgoing is freely remains as of the jersey to protect our environment. restore the degraded landscapes but most important to the empower families to ensure that the agriculture they are practicing is sustainable to reduce the claimant related news us does. but also once a beauty to their labor, they couldn't lock on from us, of cuts down trees on mount and going to make fools of fields a quarter of the forest on the things to will kind of slow past be lost over the years. even though a large part of the area is actually a niche every so the consequences and russian and damage to the ecosystem. the n g o b's entries once to reverse, the trend found a steven bright software has brought siblings of the native trees. free of charge enjoys mainly for the month by donations behavior though. so given the weight,

a reason to be happy because everyone benefits the people and the environment. what we are doing is to motivate from as 3 intern griffith trees in the funds. and how are we being these? we fund raise, give them more, then behaves as well as trees, which as forage for the bees. and now the bees are and you sent you for the farm eyes to planted trees because they know for the beast to make honey they need next time as well. as pulling from the flowers as they had by the trees, but this autumn was the best day i could have to do. you've gotten into it. if any of you will have it to a capital gym directly, the new trees, we'd help to an additional income suck. what wants to convey these to the villages? a change in mentality compared to the mindset that led to the environmental crisis?

the consequences, offline slights can be seen everywhere in future. the new 3 should help to get a hold of the us in place when we planned to lose please the error of binding sales to data with plants, the trees, and we don't just blanche them. we can quote them with money to them, we tried to them, we'd map each and every pre. that's a plant land slides. often during heavy rains, the deadliest incident was in 2010. then i met the slide, claimed the lives of more than 300 people. many people lost their homes and fields box and, and some of those affected us team waiting for all those was they bring it down. that one. what's the, the nonce i've gotten if they can keep us on the, or finance, or full housing, be better equipped for it. what do they given me? another place to be put solely on mont contains

a lot of play and therefore i'm such a lot of water together with the deforestation the some fatal combination us. so this things come to play the natural but i mean, it does. oh the this of course, the nature of the slopes, but also the pressure that come from the communities themselves. now everything is supposed to get better with the help of these around 60 households in the village of key to and the surrounding region upset and be keeping the being trained by these entries been supported with the equipment free of charge. what an adventure putting on a protective suit for the 1st time, all coming the b z, the spatial smoke in the middle of the forest. these come on gets mixed. so the one mic pass, which they will and start forming behind me. so those things, the trees under these go hand in hand. without that tree, you can't have a b that we need to protect the forest is growing. to the extent that families can

make a better leaving from the keeping stephen bride stuck with. and you also have them with marketing. we've made a honey from them and value and sell to fight, you know, punch them as they might get the price for honey. have to find one gets is 18000 shillings. they've done that shillings. yes. but for us, we buy it from, from us at $25.00, our then so that means them. and i that incentive and, and what division we need to change. the main to said we have to support to be is the local communities to appreciate the only environment for us and then give them the the innovations that really they kinda appreciate and take what that's going to be on the innovation period. they consist in them into the future. more than 5000 trees have been refers to on mount and going into the past 2 years. that's not much

compared to what was lost, but at least it does that. and now from you've gone to a c, a p, a full on next story and from these to ones they to might be small bonds. the implant is really should not be on the estimates it absolutely sandra. they are incredibly useful coworkers. according to charles darwin, the 8th, mainly all dynamos that have played such an important part of the history of the wells. and this is teeming with them. so what all the super powers this side to for reading the ones might be on police and some, but on need to be sure that things, it's beautiful. she's a farmer in the village of a room by the populace. the demo region, the warm she keeps out on us set to ha and they have the months of modest. she fits

them for this crops, leaves settled down, requests which the intentions formed into viney compost. this won't put that to me, to be sure to harvest from unusual pets, is an excellent and environmentally friendly fertilizer, which she uses on her own crops. on a buckle. no. uh, but we can push through, but i used vehicles for these masefield today. even though there is not a lot of freight, and at the moment it is going well not going to, if i had used chemical fertilizers out of needed to spend up to $25000.00 bill, which would be more than $400.00 euro. i missed this just about having this issue with i know that's a lot of money but to buy making and using the compost for my rooms. but i can make a profit and provide enough food for my funding, research and 11, because i let it come with a have been a bit. and she's not the only one coupon in the village. it's a minute organic that'd be composing on when the rainy season starts. i use my own

gunning fertilizer. in fact, i don't think that i would need any faults. chris, are you ready for the lives of for margaret cultural office? to all the see a pin in the, in the legs in law allows allison, divine me, campus project to no room. us started in 2016. we've just 4 participants including us. if i'm able and we'll meet to be sure to now the local, not going to talk to the law office as trained over a 100 from us to produce of on the compost. but he took a long time for people to accept one keepers and realize the value of these creepy crawlers. but the buddy, oh, let me get some people take away from me just because i keep homes on my home phone . is there too, but you haven't brought it also asked the so be touching the ones with my hands. and so some of them even told my husband look tweet to my food anymore. but to my

husband supported me the whole time, or the mazda is f. o as well, basically, yes, i had a gradually people started to realize the benefit of these creatures around 60, for most of the students asked me for one supposed to have and i have supplied them all and saw i successful and did the and it's of those for plus to you know, i left and the one what keeps spreading and not we got your law office up from the neighboring mug. got district has now come to a room to learn more about the ecological project. what go by doing this loaner internet and we are very keen to extend this initiative to our village tumor as it is very cheap on simple solution. the farmers are saying they want to make their own compost instead of having to buy can be called satellites. and then that's not just spending this, i'm not sure that's i didn't set it up the ones that were the ones and they have valuable products are getting more and more funds in the region. meanwhile, us,

if i'm able and other local one, pioneers are adding a study income from studying the organic spots eliza. and once found a kiddo grumble's pond costs, basically balance of 8 zeros. well, 100 kilograms of me compost. these 25 euros the funds are benefiting from the training they've received and no less dependent on can be called for the license which can be very expensive and comfortable to the environment side coordination or so all prospects with appraising really because for samantha, that's nice. any for leasing crazy to easily manage but become fuzzy. so i would even bottom of this for the federal and it's fully kukes due to its success. so the local level, the project was not be extended to the entire c demo region. so the next time you attempted to recoil from these little creatures,

don't think of them as the funding think of funding compost or as much as 80 percent of people use of the higher in africa rely on have a med seen as a primary form of health care on this for full, takes us to burgundy. we have for additional hillis bloom, used herbs and plants to fix diseases. yes. the 1st station on the list and by the diversity is put the nature of the medicine chest. that's the risk one woman's efforts to protect dates all the focus of this week's doing your bits. the fruits of the on now tow bush it's seed extracts are sent to alleviate infections, environmental activist and entrepreneur. gina kyra kenyana wants to bring the indigenous medicinal plants back to the people of barrow. indeed. and at the same time bring the destroyed woodlands back to life. like in the handling the forest in

google rama region, the inhabitants need firewood or one to plant fields. but without trees, the slopes collapse which can cost human lives and for tile swell. women farmers in the region want to learn how to improve things. jeanette car kenyana recommends reforestation with all the trees, for example, whose roots spring an extra income. but apart from seedlings, she has some words of warning. what i get done will give you the many of you are cutting down the trees and you're destroying the environment. this is something you must absolutely give out. that sounds that the tree nursery, women farmers learn how to raise the free seedlings, the farmer, maria, and duly mona takes home jo, trophy and artemis just siblings and plants, them next to one of her fields. the active ingredient artemis,

that can be used to treat malaria, the temperature, when we can already see the effects of this activities where the streets are planted, erosion is no longer is mad, and the final is no longer being washed away. hol, corvalle to be the bitterly shrunk. or if you're known, you make donnelly not can also be used medicinally. jeanette kyra kenyana has the leaves, processed into a powder and a small factory which is later dissolved in water to help with menstrual cramps. the herbal infusion is sold together with other therapeutic natural products and one of her company stores she says, part of the proceeds to finance reforestation projects that piece it saves a ton. i have hope that replanting these last 3 years, so lead to seeing them in house phones in the future, a quarter to be and provide sustainable solutions to protect the environment. because we will record will not keep that of

this southern european country. all spain is suffering from more frequent drugs, like many places on us. by 2025, around 1800000 people are likely to suffer from absolute what's us coast se, according to the us food and agriculture organization. and spain has really seen some unusually high temperatures, b, c. it with extreme weather events on the rise, lakes and rivers are disappearing. wells of running joy. adopting is expensive, but crucial of the water that's good enough to drink. and that's what work is here at the tobacco, the southern nation plants, the northeastern spain, a testing center. the region is increasingly looking to removing salt from ocean water as the solution, so that will to problems levels of acidity, conductivity,

cooler, and content. everything is tested here in the plants laboratory and it has to be just so because if not they've been that about or depending on which bad you it is . you know, that part of the process isn't working properly. you act on that incorrect value out of our, on the, in other words, the laboratory. people communicate with the operator and then the upper right to internal x on the process on their product there. so it's a painstaking process, but essential move in cost. the function to process that the plant becomes a salty brain pumped bus, kind of which into the see the rest of the types to the surrounding communities. that's part of the code come all garcia's job. he has worked at the plant since it was built in 2002. since then it's doubled as capacity. your cell phone as well. so now this is a really to is the area. and as well as being a touristic area, it's a very, it's a couch with so. okay, so much then for the river, that is quite

a bit of chemical industry that needs ball totally lose the gimmick. i couldn't see that i was the regional government plants to triple the plants current sized by the end of the decades to combat ongoing droughts. but the still a nation is expensive and there are other problems. saturday though is a good thing to consider selling is to obtain the same amount of water or more of them, but with less energy consumption. so by improving efficiency not, not the most plans have already made changes to increase efficiency, but it is quite complicated. data is based on the company got the neighboring to odessa refund is dried out as far as the i can see almost full years of less than average rainfall is devastating. the region of catalonia reservoir levels of dropped from mold and 90 percent. in april 2020, to less than 20 percent and 2020 full water saving restrictions and residents have gradually been ramped up. this will lead to the fact that makes us more aware that

the impacts of climate change of the climate crisis is most severe. in the mediterranean region, then in other parts of the world and the must have it all came to the last part of this and the young lady that i knew i see him have always been episodes of drought in the mediterranean. increased the t ration of the now the drastic rise and the temperatures would of these conditions are unprecedented. to understand this assumption precedent. it's early in the seas and then you'll get them. uh, but hotel. yeah. use a bracing themselves for an impact around 19000000 people visitors catalonia in 2023 and taurus lodge consumers of water using up to twice as much as residents. by some estimates the some hotel offers a potential solution to save water when it was renovated around 25 years ago. the hotel installed separate pipe, gray water, water used in fossil shy was,

for example, is pipe box we use in the toilets. it's both treated in the basement, the hotel claims to have saved around 15000000 liters of water and made substantial economic savings. and so basically ok, so okay. i think it's something where the hotels to, to already finished, i need to take advantage of a renovation situation here. um that it should be mandatory for all new hotels to be built with this system installed. the scenario is uh at the nearby katelyn institute of water research scientists are investigating the impact of counseling news, dr to how river eco systems, for example, cope with little wolf to the black community that i see said the organism community with extensive quite well that is because it is a community that is about adapted to the conditions of the mediterranean climate le,

instead of feeling good if the interruption last a long time, then that could be serious impact, practicing 4 times in the same institute to young luigi booty. larry is working with water from the hotel some the on new solutions. filtering the hotels gray water 3 ponds and soil to clean it. a system that's already been tested the but it's now being tried with edible plants like this mint researches estimate costs for such a solution could be recuperated in 5 to 6 years. as something like a most, they want to find out if it is safe to use the plans for human consumption. we don't get know that it would be to have to investigate it further or not. it's a research topic for the future, but it wouldn't be really good to be able to principle to i'd be able to reuse it. and it's the same time. so do use plans for human consumption and other uses data, but it was a lot of them for it, but i want to associate back up with the selling nation plan. what goes on with

climate change making conditions of drywall solutions like those being used in this region are helping now as a how much longer bought to africa. now it's one next story in ivory coast. the government, the house on beach has targets for increasing its share of renewable energy use. in april, the government announced plans to build another new solar plant in the north of the country. now sort of policy especially can be a source of clean, low cost electricity that is suitable even for very remote locations. so this taps is a life saver every day it gives people from nearby village is clean water, something that can't be taken for granted in this rural part of central ivory coast . okay. yeah, 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,

the little southward is telling jenny c, 4 on the water has to be pumped from under ground. but the area is off the electricity grid, instead, solar energy provides the power for the pump. so it'd be if it can fill out a new one at the beginning, there was only one unit test. so because there was only one house to supply. this one play then came the girl center of monday and after that the settlement expanded . okay, with 3 new buildings. we partner with ben, 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. it's not just ivory coast rule of goods 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 federation. so they could speak to the government with one voice. for example,

when it comes to dealing with surplus electricity. no sweat don't. we'll just have to, we would like to see the sector authorize to feed electricity into the national grid to come up with these when you aren't able 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 velocity and then this is some of my goodness. so that's a pressing question for invest as, as ivory coast has pledge to increase the shape of renewables in its energy mix to 42 percent by 2013 in the north of the country. the, the solar farm is the 1st of more than a dozen projects aimed at reaching the target. the 78 heck to a facility overseen by the state owned a c i n a cheese cost 14000000 euros. it was made possible by a load from jimmy's k f w development bank, and doug drunk from the european union 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 sector partners, but the bungee any power plant is the 1st to be built by the state. burden. 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 counter that. this energy project manager has taken a young student under her wing and is helping her to find an internship. one of 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 as soon dumps. 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 fed mentoring project names to increase the proportion of women in the renewable sector from 25 percent to 40 percent in the near future is another great project, but he's talking several issues at was that's it from us based week i am central to homes that we know video from right to in complex uganda. it is a good bye for now and i am chris l, as in may goes, nigeria face to join us. don't forget to head to equal offer, go online for boys, byron stories, and if there's anything you want to share with us, drop us a line up, eco dw dot com. thank you for joining us as see you again. next week, the the
