you just join us for an exciting exploration and everything in between. this is a video and audio production 5 d, w. i hope video will tune in the line with all the ease changing. and there is much we can do to help ourselves a fellow creatures on the environment. welcome to equal africa. i am sandra holmes, that we know what you write to income plot. uganda. we're almost taking the cheap around the world. we view basic. that's right, sandra in the quest for sustainable practices will had as far as some remote in the

mountains. but one reports at the time. i am curriculums, illegals, nigeria, this week we will take a look at the line a i to, to come back to poaching in kenya. keeping up as we're forestry, traditions, and indians. mountain is region and honoring a judge in a wide life called in uganda. while we're getting started in gonna we have superstitions abound in the countryside. some people believe that bad behavioral influences the weather of the bully by piece in the spirit, gods, will cease, improve. now these believes and the beast and science, which is why a team of young people is looking to transform all to, to you it's and they all want the same thing to do something about climate change. the disaster youth brigade is challenging traditions in their community of non gary

because the dry seasons are lasting longer and the harvests are getting smaller. the rainmaker however, still relies on own rituals. then the 2 bedrooms yakima, we're keeping the tradition of our forefathers newton. whenever there is a drought, we need to perform sacrifices to our ancestors. that's what they were doing. what you get abundant food and rein quotes you. and if you don't perform these rise, it won't rained properly. we agenda, which i've done before. she is due to human induced climate change, whether extremes are also becoming noticeably stronger here in northeastern, gone at the normal rainy seasons are failing to occur replaced by sand storms or torrential downpours. in the non neary community. more and more farmers have planted their fields right up to the banks of the river, where the land is more for tile. but during the heavy rains, the river overflows its banks and crops are often lost. this is why the youth brigade marks out the river bank areas that are not to be planted. the young people

are volunteers who have been trained by the national disaster management organization or not know for short. and then when we play, the kid has a have a form of this group, so it will to, to, to our chief and the others. and that's important to us. so to see what the f, what was to do so that if i didn't reduce, how would we see then this? yeah, well, how to weigh mazda a limits? i will from that event so that you went off, i'm clearly over at the funding would reduce growing crops to close to the river bed has negative consequences for the environment scientist morning, wendy. if i'm close to what top would use the size of the what top would it begins to reduce then also the machines takes place that you have the position of sealants can do that. debate was that what that,

what do you see reduces it means that the amount of thing, but we have the 12 fixed gamma till 3 and 4 you have in an area. rainfall is also affected by ramping deforestation. when harvests fail, the sale of firewood and charcoal is the only alternative source of income. then the villagers cut down even more trim, a vicious cycle. because the fewer the trees, the less it rains. the volunteers, if we're getting discuss all these issues with the villagers, most players a recurring theme. people set them during the dry season to make it easier to hunt game 0. and the 1st one we did go and then there was all minor outbreak. literally we go to put it out and investigate the car for us instead of if someone deliberately sent the fire, the person has done that before the elders. and finally get a step. um, oh i see it keeping a good environment. they just the best way to enjoy your lives. yeah. okay. so will

i see the campaign or is raising awareness among villagers? laptop? yeah, i know that and we've been getting fewer rains in recent years and it's been severe storms that destroyer homes. that's why i believe the young people, what they tell us to plant trees instead of cutting them down, it's better than our own practices store. so my island ushio is proud that his messages are being heard of the villagers used to regularly cut down trees here. the landscape was bare until they started re for us thing 3 years ago as the villagers know only take individual branches for firewood. instead of cutting down the whole 3, the youth brigade receive support from both national and international sponsors. together with the villagers, they weren't able to plant 5 more heck pairs of acacia trees. new they guys. yeah. fucking down as we started doing, mal phone, cutting the trays for fire file if i would, and also a brand new chuckle. so we,

we, we brought that these guys. yeah. for the next 3 years or 3 years coming. ok. they don't get filed out for for the find out for the local organizations, project managers regularly visit, non you're a to find out how things are going. they also give tips on how the villagers can protect themselves from storms or floods, such as plant more indigenous trees to create when brakes. after 3 years, the program manager makes an initial assessment. we believe that this is an important strategy and initiating that should be adopted by ada access. one community at the time we come on each climate change. it's all about the efforts together that will show that environment is safe for us and for future eisen generations. this also includes regularly collecting plastic that would otherwise be blown around by the wind. such a huge brigades now exist and 5 communities, the northeastern. gonna 20 volunteers are always active. they're taking the many

small steps together with a villagers to at least counter act. anthropogenic climate change on a local level. young people are both compacting long killed superstitions, but they are also of the full frontal preserving ation traditions. let's go to the priest and forest around in some remote villages in northeast and india. our region with a sizable tribal population on indigenous communities. beth, what in danger of losing the diversity of the food systems due to high demand for just some groups, but young people from a slow food, n g o helping to revise the strength. oh, uh. even cold. yeah. mm hm. by the name of your yeah, i've seen the key some by that ancient cause these folk song describes the close

born between humanity and nature. no, i see richard johnnie where it belongs to the 50 or so families who live here in the mountains of cheat up wednesday in northeast in the us make on yes, date for my the song asks me to forget like the white lands growing among the flower bed saw so so to me by making them contort him can you come all these are garlic, china along which we eat about in ship land. this is what i did. and then we have bonded pals which we cultivate well that he put them come not the nail fuck during the month of september and the half of get ready to have it. so when i and because of it by not provide on the edge of a lot like open when you're new, so i don't mean to hack and re johnny's home. village of nobody else is remote, and anyone who wants to visit has to escape 2 and

a half 1000 steps. the inhabitants here are an indigenous people to the traditional real life. they make an important contribution to biodiversity. 3 quarters of migalia is $46.00. so people here go there across among the wide cheese and shops. cindy, agro ecologist got the good works for the ne, slow food, an agro biodiversity society, or the next task for shocked. the n g o wants to preserve the agents traditional kind of duration nutritional practices. so if we look at the, with the indigenous communities, half manage the food system, you will see a component of diversity where you will see there is in the system in any of the system. those must be cropping where a variety of 12 see if we do uh, to a mapping exercises we have found that a community have about more than $202.00 foot loans. just

a few years ago. there was more diversity according to service by nest us. but slash and burn 40 is cleared and i'm increasingly heavy. the info is have both taken their tools on the soil in the 90 ninety's, the lucas on most of non co started calculating bluegrass to own living. it's useful lives to feed, to make do, and fuels. but this morning to go to has severely degraded the soil nobody so football, i brought it to where he got caught up with me able to walk me a little bit. but it is a highly competitive blonde and you have gone to lunch with the other crop just because the damage has to crop and finally got home. but when do i leave? i'm getting to the closet because of the most and lot one graphic. let me know. model by as market price is for bluegrass rules, thomas calculated more and more of it to the detriment of biodiversity in the

region. most foss has launched programs to revise what's being lost and now supports more than $130.00 villages in northeastern india. with the help of the ancient knowledge from the region. agriculture in the mountain for it is becoming more sustainable for future generations. so long set a cool club living in how many we have in nature knowing all about gone. so trees like those indigenous communities we have just seen this is knowledge the more than city dwellers how to often last or never not bought. if possible to find what plants even edible ones in the biggest cities as well and it's report shows coming wide from the bridges copy tony london, he's a didn't get beat basic and you have to tell hamlet and senate tree park in east london. an unexpected trend

this flourishing scattered around the graves of many of a wild plants and a treasure trains of some natural ingredients. anyone keen to explore to none a growing number of people attending courses? the item of it is to add to people's knowledge that most people have done some think, but they'd be just 8 and wild goldlick, but they want to learn more. so they want to learn how to identify problems more confidently. they won't say loud recipe ideas. and they want to experience a range of while problems integrated will guide kind of greenway towels. the participants on his farting calls about the edible plants here, including a flowering pond, quote, honesty that tastes much like must it. there's also wild strawberries of wild rock . it is what is nettles and buckboard we count them enough for it and toes that very, very popular. and i guess the reason such an interest is as

a result of the recent pandemic with a lot more people spending time in pox. thinking about problems wondering what they can do with them, and it's created an interest in for which in which is linked to a growing interest in self sufficiency. the united nations estimate 66 percent of people will live in urban areas by 2016, locally sourced food can help based food security, the costs of trucks, people of all ages. it wasn't mother stay present april if a have because we do a lot of gardening and we've spoken about it before wanting to like be able to eat food that we can just go so. so i thought it was a good empowers you, but it also makes you feel your really parts of nature and you can use nature but wisely. you know, i think this thing about the rules of, for jamie is really important. so to be with spiteful to be respectful of the plans and what you pay. green spaces also play

a critical role in built up areas. charging tools can help raise awareness of their importance and the need to conserve them. so i with fostering for diversity as well as say to new pods and punching new things. we want to see the full range of our opponents here that we can foster and encourage but i'll be good. now what you've done that is getting tough with punches off because on wildlife products smugglers with a life sentence for ivory possession and other convictions of because plus school, detroit, wildlife crimes, husband as the police in complex and judge law discuss on you is these weeks equal here on the left, solemn way, trying to roam free in uganda was to by push it in 1983 these huge,

but they'll say anymore can live to be 45 years old. but to you, it was hunted out of existence by people wanting to sell its own illegally. vicki less rarely fixed justice gladys come a send you from us because 1st space show what less quote wants to change or that a non law who is a victim. in a wide life guess it does not have a son's report that's wrong, full of slip has been okay. then to them even when said the survivors, they don't have a chance to report them. have a chance to follow up on that cuz we don't have a chance to appear in court to tell the story to show us the pain, like where a human being is a victim. since you've been does, white glove quote was established in 2017 and compiler just come as such as dispense justice in more than 1000 cases below. and that goes on then will come. a

sudden is determined to help cover a legal wildlife trade. i realize how much depletion going on the law says the are all they all i keep getting up and they get to know all these a big will. those additional fees have, but i really have to play to save nature, not for me today, but all those who come off to me demo come a sudden is determined to help cub illegal wildlife trade. how about 11 percent? so if you've done that territory, even legally protected quotes sufficient areas encroaching on the natural resources, humming or killing any of the most is punishable by laws that with tough and in recent years. but it's not always enough between 20212022. the almost 3000 documented cases, even in the funds,

i spit using these kind of p s, the buffers the he pause. and when you look at the people who use this p, as some of them consider these p as a distance of thought that for them it does. and for you when you come through and it's literally the distance of 5 meters. and these older people i have been in the poaching activities, that item titled his mind was arrested after killing a buffalo with a spear such cases used to fish delays. and b would you know, really good system and really resulted in steve sentences but white glove crimes. now gets special attention incumbents and use court. in atlanta, my case in 2022, she sent a repeat offender by very trafficky to life in prison. the judgment was white and welcomed by cloud solutions. we started to see some

processors on the bank they considered yesterday because and now it is a special court who are bringing the suspects from photos the country. and so is that the good thing about incentives is people who wants to commit to play when they, you know, that was who committed his claim. you wouldn't be taken to come by that. that is a special court. and you kind of be given a hash punishment. so i think to me that towards the very good thing, it kinda said you've seen was that some suspects presented to harcourt to best times the importance of consolidation and predicting endangered species. so beyond types, judicial roles just found it and then proceeds, organization to educate communities, especially the young generation use the. 6 the little ones can be groomed to be the future when sufficient is most who can solve the environment. mitchell took care of the most of the we i labor and take care of. and if we left them for

example, and we didn't care to catch them. yeah, and they kind of as well become the official portion, sons to close sufficient efforts. then no more than such a way try nose in uganda. judge gonna send you hopes of the countries was soon sent to the right. so finding most, when dealing with pushing on traffic, inc van creatures like the sold on like trade. no. me once again leave long lives in freedom. what unimpressive woman i am so proud that we have such a quotes here in uganda. but as important as this walk ease, it would be even better to prevent poaching in the foster please. the 1st step is to know exactly which species room all for us. and that's what a group of young people in kenya is trying to do. they use moving technology and even artificial intelligence to count undetermined spacious wildlife conservation.

3 point oh, some well good. you is looking for goods. the new toilet useful can use national museums heads to the field because usual tools they know kill us, a finely tuned in and lots of patients. so quite proud, grubbing chat. see it's a space can have it color. yeah. but somehow is not just here for and work in the woods, is helping to collect the data for the forest census. he looks for species that can help identify threats to the system. today, he hopes to find a bit cold, hot close to that goal. so, but it's like those uh for us independent because they knew rely on indigenous for

assistance for the food and breathing and foraging areas. so when we lose pieces like the hot collab store, cool, we know that the for us health is in decline and may be, will indicate that we need to do something about that in terms of maybe reduce into for ya around. so plant more indigenous fruiting trees in the area, but this data collection method takes a long time, spectacled weaver, when that's calling and when it comes to deciphering bid calls, even professionals make mistakes. luckily, a local university has developed a device that can help researchers like somewhere else. ok, so this is an acoustic says i meant to be developed on this end of for the defense and efficient diligence. all right, for i would do data collection with the goal of $20000.00 ecosystems using so we have a solid funding decides to buy cheap. mm hm. summer is excited about this invention

. he believes it can help him in this work of even being out here for a couple of hours now. almost 4 hours and not being able to see the bed itself and can show you how important uh, uh, acoustic monitoring, such as these, these devices. and how important they are to ecological studies, because it's not every single time you go to the field that you get a chance to see a study subject. actually having acoustic monitoring programs like these that uh, remove the human aspect. can maybe give us a better picture of what the ecosystem looks like without too many tough you had on machine learning powers. the technology, as well as most official intelligence recorded audio is converted into visualize

data, which is then on the lice, used to teach the system to recognize bit calls and other costs to connect as the recorded and processed audio data from the field helps researchers and ecology is draw conclusions about the forest health this data can be very useful when it comes to environmental decision making when it comes to equal systems such as far as uh, beds, uh good indicator of the forest. totes, when we are getting list submitted from those areas that i've seen declined in reporting rate of this for a specific species. we are able to see that although maybe the forest might not be completely destroyed, we have seen a decline in that equal system health of that area that could probably leads to find that destruction. this can help to known chief orientation projects in areas

damaged by human activity. like here in campbell county's key in the district. more than 30000 indigenous trees were planted in a happy to do credit by chuckle, production, and of the cultural encroachments. the cheese, i'm when you touch and tricked overtime, but manual monitoring is time consuming. so these scientists chooses a special to in a power to this and we've got to dream it is of trees. and it is possible from 2 images to i sort of acquired the depth of the points on the scene, you know, just to know how far the points, uh, how to the out of the ground, the inside thing. so it gives us sort of a 3 dimensional understanding of the scene in front of the camera, citrix machine learning based software. the vision, it's a medical image is tree height width in the future. the data collected can then be

used to project the amount of coupling that can be stored, but a growing patch on forest. just like the designs with a bio acoustic microphone, the code for citrix of to is open source. so other research is across africa and beyond can freely adopted to help keep it consistently intact. you learn something new every day. fascinating techniques with these we in today's show. i hope you enjoyed it. as most i saw you days. i have chris 11, san lagos, nigeria. thank you, please, and thank you to all of you of us with joining us. don't forget to head to an equal offer. go online thoughts. vince from always firing stories. and if you want to share with us, please do drop us a line at equal out dw to come see all again next week i and some drug of homes that we know do with a good buy from complex right here. and you get the, the

finally, is this the solution to global energy, or not your fusions, how the international metal project eater is a massive high tech hustle. it could be exploring the possibilities and risk of nuclear fusion. the dream of invoice, clean energy in 75 minutes on d w. the

so you don't feel the same way you expect. and once different things from life, then you'll parents i just want to pursue what that's my thoughts hired or you think your kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible, unreasonable or port is not. i want my son to become a doctor. is there an alternative plan? we've done everything to prevent a divorce, but nothing weren't showing that it's time to you were a sweet thing for them. when generation industry

is kind of funny. feels like there it's dream of revolution. in 1979, ancient dictates estimate as the was supposed to have that changed my life. the people hoped for a sara society. i imagined we would change the world. tens of thousands of messages from all over the world wanted to help reconstruct the country. this mission became the dream was simply a spirit of optimism where we encouraged each other. and so many things were suddenly imaginable. there on the mississippi to and nick it around a dream of revolution stuff. july 20th dw, the

dw news live and from berlin, janelle, tonight, the mounting momentum against a 2nd term for us president job i. after a series of gaps at the nato, so many washington bodies and remains defiance about staying in the campaign. but can he keep going if the money stops coming in? also coming up in admission of failure, israel's military says that they've failed to protect is rarely citizens during the october 7th terror attacks, a new investigation revealing civilians had to fend off a mazda militants all by themselves. plus finland's parliament gives border guards the power to turn back migrants crossing from russia. critics a.
