so why do we say there about never getting on every weekend on dw, the every day we use planets, resources from the air we breathe to the water would need to stay alive. so how can we save got those results is for tomorrow, and leave will. today, i am chris, the alarms in nigeria, and you are watching eco africa. and i am sandra co homes that we know the right to in uganda. we about to meet

a range of people for very passionate about improving the content of the wives for today and tomorrow. here is what we have coming up, beating the jobs, helping totals into these yeah. from best to products. the santa is using invest in plants as a substitute for petrochemical and re for a single hues of gland to bring back beauty out of binding capacity. a body wave begin here in you've done the web also, which he's hoping to make safe drinking. what's available to all by 2014. so far change has been sold to come. lack of water is the problem. uganda has lots of lakes and rivers, but pollution is a big settings. the river easy in west a new gun to is especially bought. well,

we called top with one component is dedicated to bring chains very, very easy flows through southwest to gun to more than 5000000 people directly depend on each as a source of water and to on the leaving. they want to weigh once a vibrant area of life and i'll be of this cause of human activity, the whole revival system using the threats very, very easy for us, has 3 major challenges. the 1st is harvesting, send from the repub that you'll see those who us miami, who are assigned to mining and very forbid the standing in the middle of the river . meaning that to now there, they weren't, that it was of breast cutting going down. and if this was on for another 10 years i had there is a girl who did that might end up not having no more water flowing. so on this little difference that affect quite the number because it feeds it not from the

book. and it is also feeding into victoria a buck from sun. my mean population personally is leading to encroachment of the roof above the national environment. monday mental product is 2 minutes about 60 percent of the reverse catchment area has been degraded. sanitation cost by starting their ocean suite is $75.00 by 40 meters. mining this all along the bunks to make breaks to keep pace with the area therapy doesn't exist on these. also destroying the revised cost system and what the pollution, including industrial affluence and waste on poisoning the roof. i want to of the times of india when this point this only needed fish on chelsea is that these fish a dang because of the industrial activities helps to him. and we think something wrong is happening with the fish. maybe the feeding,

the feeding on poisoned water these continuous detective talk things into the re, by in the just not only aquatic life, but also community stuff directly depend on the revised source of what a little bit of a 2000000000 people consume contaminated water and risk diet have consequences, very, very easy slide. these are remainder of the environmental implications of industrial activities. and not the big challenges facing that reverse is plastic waste on when i go to that point. i so plastics. we have drained like in the past 23 days on all of these plastics from the city was more thing within a given section of their if i like i said, i thought an individual level. i think i need to do something. i recorded the video,

posted it online, and i got so many responses. and from that, i was able to, as i said, the people we are we thinking about, are we more blaze resources, but some materials equipment on came on, did the clean up sun from that it said routine activity that for you i've been doing every time we have there in the plastic waste, including buckles and polluting bugs increasingly emerging is a, has up to all marine and human life. you've got to generate $600.00 tons of plastic with each day, but only 6 percent is collected. but to meet the challenges, lee must a pool and see the visuals, communities, and activities rates. so they'll kitchen to look for solution of the waste once initiative and show us that all of the plastic collect and from very, very easy is converted into funds to support the people who live along that we've all of the collected wednesdays packaged and sold it to other companies for recycling of circle back to this bottles into bills. i supply them to

a company called the standard recycling dismissed in kampala. they do different products out of them. and one of them of pallets and the rest collecting and recycling plastic has not been on the intervention people undertaking to save that, we've got these group reuse it. so you end up looking at the list from refinery. it's a source of income for young men and women here. this material here has ideas. and if not designed into a productive product, the put the end up into the what that seems and bodies on the swans from here we bring it people off for us. so well you crush ships and mix it with the natural is from sinus. i'll say i've been in the bottom with a new today's the scene to i use it before that very, very easy ecosystem must be protected. whether through government action against illegals and mining, or individuals who is tall there, we've a bunk in the last 5 years we have planted over 2000 threes. but

about $500.00 species in total. on what we are trying to solve is see we're trying to stop that solely on sun from flow. we need to deliver on making reducing it. so we and we hope that by the time we, we have planted lake uh, 5000 trees. this whole area will become green on the so, and then this son will not will not be coming to the bunk. and maybe there is that will be the will, will again widen with johnny to restore there is the easiest challenging, but we've been to the cation of these environmental watery as these hope for a clean 3 of us in the future. we have no now to send these in a country that household fund views of severe drought. so not surprisingly, fresh water is in short supply. many risk of was of been pledged dry. it's

a problem both for animals and people that spots the risk of perishing in the drought. and some places, thankfully help is of hand hairs this 6 doing your bits a this is what's last of a rest of what it means to me in northern tennessee and the lake was once home to hundreds of titles. now for the 1st time since 1960, it's completely dry. the environmental activists in it casem is assessing the damage. in this small remaining pond, he found some 200 tassels, whose lives are in great danger, initiation out of ideas. imagine if we don't, we notated them live with for

a few days a week from, they're on cbs titles, not line to you without human intervention or heavy rains special to them. they might suffice for a day or even a month for them, but eventually they'll die. so for them to cool and none of them, but in that custom is a man on a mission. he wants to save the remaining total population. and today he's joined forces with several local environmental scouts and officials to relocate the title . the rep titles play a crucial role in local ecosystems. no good, he is a fresh quote, it travels an essential link in the food chain, the system and helps to regulate invertebrates, an o d population. so isn't from the barracks and those are kinda upset the finances to the state with home for the consequences of the eco system as a whole. we agreed that there them to have and this will be then you have the left in the reservoir a few kilometers away. it's water levels. oh,

so noah. then they used to be bought this good enough to make it is suitable habitats to be endangered totals. and then helping out a bit of reading this, i won't be able to understand where we're heading to move. we're heading for trial to move to sky city windsor's. if not today comes the animals. i think she minutes will be to. so i may be safe, even bigger consequences with both of them. sure. do you have deluxe coming up in that and his health is a doing the page to keep them environment livable for the titles on themselves. here in nigeria, another problem affecting water supply is the what the high save these invasive species as affected overall bill of hacked as a file. what the ways in today's globalized world, more and more countries are struggling with non native speeches. but what if these plans could be turned to good use would cross to for us now to meet our research a,

who's found a way to do just that? or it may look and sound like a weed, but japanese not wait philip at your konica can actually be a useful office to buy him to prevent damage. it was almost everywhere along this tribute trip. the river runs and something from chemist clo, grease own discover that had left on checked this invasive species is extremely harmful to develop quite a grows 3 to 4 times faster than the other planet food tv. so it's suffocates bio diversity in this area which has an exceptional array of plants. so it's a real catastrophe from an ecological point of view. but also from an economic point of view. because because it chokes this tributary, that shouldn't be regulating accessing water from the wrong. that's because you're stuck with this. one possibility would be to try and clear out the ponds. the code

case on found a way to put them to could use. she developed a unique process to a client not to come to list. these are widely used in drug research cosmetics production because of a highly efficient, speeding up complex chemical reactions to create new molecules. the plan has a unique physiology. it can name it molecules that poisoned its neighbors was, you know, pulled in 10 years ago. she worked with a group of students reset truly unique properties of indigenous species in new caledonia, a french overseas territory. and the pacific fluid crease all has long been fascinated by the incredible abilities of pods on the website. it didn't show you the create an existing new caledonia. i discovered some exceptional plant species tolerate pollution, so to speak, new stuff. okay, that's due next class, the better still. they can actually extract metals from their surroundings and they've and store them in their leader step now has to, has to,

with these plans. it's possible to regenerate soil that's been completely degraded by the presence of metals document to 7 fronts crews on has been focusing on invasive palms. some species can purified, polluted full to others, like japanese not wage and now being processed in the lab for use and industrial applications. the companion not to now do home is in charge of managing loans along the river. i'm controlling invasive species here. together with scientists, they help us the plants across separately, administrative areas or stuff. so they will pay that they was looking to develop pest control techniques that can be used in a large or small scale. doing different plans on from the benefit is that we promote and types of chemistry that is green and sustainable. it's a kind of circular economy to integrate some various pieces and stuff to do to, i mean, i think that i presented his best today. the team has only managed declare a few 100 meters of land. the plot so taken to

a warehouse where that dried for at least 3 days or longer and what was then that shredded and sent to the bar. a tree at the plump material is placed in the oven to dry for a few hours. only then is it ready for the chemical process in the lab? the resulting what kind of catalyst is mixed with both are in a few natural additives to create, to find new products, but indispensable and cosmetics. for example, results, product is entirely natural. a clean alternative for an industry looking to shift away from home for petroleum substances and personal kind of products accomplishing and what can people think of chemistry as a discipline with a terrible environmental impact which is true. but chemistry also gives us a better understanding of ecology. our plans are insect functions on a molecular level, and then we take that. and so chemistry can have a positive impact on the environment that she needs as well. i'm interested in reconciling these 2 disciplines. went on to the,

to the frequency issues domain to 6. and then the songs discoveries about pumps and you called at any upfront so, so groundbreaking. she received the european inventor award in 2022. the reiterate to please the include police on has already founded to companies proof that her real granite counter list are in high demand. the amazing discoveries stain in europe, scotland is a country females, ford stoney landscape. while these hills are largely the ripped off trees in the past, it was reaching forest. if you are a regular equal african view, you would know that the 1st patient has a devastating impact on biodiversity. so what can be done? is copeland members of the public?

i help in 10 back the clock, boston byron, scotland, southern uplands are a striking sight. indeed. the landscape is pretty void of vegetation for now. this group of volunteers wants to change that. so you only to grab a fun things to bear. arms with chunky boots and planting spears 25 volunteers from the border as far as the trust are here to regenerate woodland near the english border. so once you've found where you want to planted tre, check that you're not right on top of a boat. that's a sticky spirit, and that's fine. yep. so that's the soft ground. and denise not to give you a whole the right size for the tree. push it into the whole our vision is to make this into a nice to put in a natural woodlands, and that would have been here in the past. and so the chaise around

holly latrice pieces you'd expect and the ground is good ground and the trees will do well you the volunteers want to help restore the forest. the one screw here, susan's a few years ago, millennial felling for firewood and clearing, pastures changed the landscape completely to the they want to regenerate, habitats, and diversified. the scenery. when i've taught it, i feel like i get the feeling of the a mother. i need to get arrived twice while i and then wish it could grow out very strongly and have a heavy lies. so what about climate really? it's just this punting traces the i think is the best thing. ordinary people can do . it's so easy to do. and it's just isn't investments in the future. really thousands of saplings leave the foundation for the new forest. it's hard work

the for so long. we've taken things out of the lined out of the hills and we need to put stuff back and improve the prove the quality of the environment. that's why not every tree is welcome here, eatery and happily who is up here almost every week. introduces us to an uninvited guest spruce. we don't want these here because they like basically decided to just landed in, in crowds. so these, these in the night to the grow really, really quickly, which is why they use for the, for the commercial forestry. a retired engineer had lease a new purpose in shaping scotlands future. we generation through forestry this makes sense of purpose here, so this lands won't be sold to the highest bidder in 20 years time. this will stay as it is just a quick detour to the neighboring valley,

and it's plain to see this work pays off the far as the trust has planted a staggering 750000 trees here since the 19 ninety's. adrian hadley was part of the effort and watched the valley transformed 20 bird species of settled here as of many wild plants and herbs. and much to the benefits of the p d. soil to which binds carbon dioxide, helping protect the environment. the benefits and the soil in the to, to allow the natural process of regeneration to take place rather than people having to actually physically pump these trees. true, garden of eden and discuss actual lumens and a model for the surrounding countryside. soon enough, scotland could be back to its ancient splinter, a bucket,

an offer to bob. bob fees can be found in many countries. they are offering a focal point for community gatherings. and the fruits seats and leaves are souls of how the foods bought in many areas they to being shut down. tragically, climate change is also taking its full on valve body, so it can environmental is a walking to rescue these ation 3. a ball bub tree. you can store from a lot, we need to survive long periods of ground for centuries. the so called cheese will for life play the key role with a new vintage communities along the canyon coast. nelson via threatened by kindly cheese and also joking last year. each valve up to full several centuries with exported to georgia for planting the pop built by former georgia prime minister. this led to public outcry in kenya. how new come to

a broad something here that there's more than 20300? yes, i'm ticket that way. what are you up to on the 2nd to us? beautiful. well, hard to ride that grew up here on the coast. you can leave. because too much into life without bo bugs. all the trees in particular, the weight, i mean, fortune to rule for the music in the community. this dream is several 100 years old . it has spiritual significance for little cool people. if we have this out, if we have a lot of these will come on the mac address on the above up see as big as this one. it is one very important element as a faith symbol is a place where we communicate to go on a manual of the problems that we have been solved and the above up to an environmental activist l. fig. chelsea is on the mission to protect bob up trees

for years using fighting to ensure the survive. the double 3 is one. see which other countries call it the tree of life. because one, the back of the tree. if maybe seen on the lives i usually for the fall and that is this, everything on that tree is useful on something else. it has me it just on ages, which means it is very nutritional on it is not like a genetically modified as hopefully tulsa is. sure, that'd be a be exported. well he says, the real problem is form is an investors sending bob up cheese along the coast to make room for culture and construction. he regularly talks to people about the trees importance. they stole carbon dioxide and provide nutrients where a wide range of species, insects,

and back thrive on the flowers while main keys to fruit. hence the nickname won't keep bred tree. farmer mcdonald knew that was the way of any of that. when he had several of his trees failed, a are not a good for somebody regret that we weren't told anything by the government. kindly, they don't inform us as follow up. i would watch a lot, all the benefits or the trees, you know, a, b, c, the yeah. so that we can understand better abc, the book. i do want to not, depending on the size, if sales tree come such between the equivalent or 502-1100 euro's good money for a local phone. but a living tree can and the form of formal eats, which contains a large range of vitamins and minerals in powder full. it's in high demand international, the super from the fruit cells, so popular in kenya, betsy cuts. so can you, me, as a teacher, i'm sells them on the side that funds,

how an equivalent of $69.00 euros per month, a considerable boost to have a teacher's salary of $200.00. you lose a little cooler and never buy food. and also opportunity is for earning money to me . i need to get done budget in the past. i don't think the little money that we are given for cutting down a tree cut in any way compared to the benefits we gain from it. you know, if i had done was, it's not but an old plus else like to see also visit schools and cubic feet to raise awareness of all the trees. i'm only giving people. he tells them about the significance with a new quote because the statement on choose how to present them correctly when to have a community that understands bit about the environment, how community that most, that they can be able to make a living from environmental uh, fix the the do i see a full cost in planting 1000000 for trees and funded school so you can,

if you're going to what a future that uh schools indicate the county how fruit or terry. it's a number you shall store on which the activities is pursuing with determination. together with students, he's planted more than 200000 trees so far and all the very best to them. we've got a project. the beautiful bel box is so worth preserving for future generations. that's it from us this week. i am sandra holmes, at 3. nobody. right to in complex uganda. and i have crystal mc lagos, nigeria, full stories, checkouts eco opera. go online. and if there's anything you want us to share, right to us at eco, a dw dot com, thanks for watching. as see you all again. next time the

the,

it's linda is turning stress into a business idea. the 19 year old honda vernita is the founder of bullet points in asked design to make life easier for students. but how does it work? yeah, let me show you made in town many in 30 minutes. oh d, w. so india today is super. she tomorrow,

a huge problem is our fastest growing, extreme, billions of tons of clothing are thrown away every year. fashion labels have pledged to recycle what's, what's actually happening up cycling for the function, industry. eco, india. in 90 minutes. oh d. w. the january 2021. the attacks on the united states capital, thousands of people took pods and among them. some of these manipulative voices are a former high ranking. military leaders. wanted us veterans attended backs on democracy. and what does this mean for the upcoming an x

the enemy within starts to lie 12 on d, w. a dream of revolution. it dictates as the most uh was supposed to have. that changed my life. the people hoped for a sara society. i am a to and we would change the world tens of thousands of left us from all over the world. wanted to help reconstruct the country. this mission became the dream. it was simply a spirit of optimism where we encouraged each other. so many things were suddenly imaginable. there are the most efficient and make it a dream of revolution. thoughts july 20th dw, the

business dw, news light from ballot. nato pledges on ending support for ukraine and the war against russia. secretary general, yeah. and stopped bug says member states, i agree keith. well john the alliance. but it's still too early to say when israel opens an investigation into an s strike which killed at least 2 dozen people at a school being used as a shelter and gaza. the killings good for us in the clouds, things to soft spring. you health costs the global warming, high temperatures, kill more people than any other wet weather. phenomenal. we look at how it's

feeling affect.
