8:30 am
it was like the vices present, dw, used on instagram, to follow up 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 and son, drug of homes that we know what you write to income plot. uganda. we're almost taking the cheap around the world. we view basic does 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
8:31 am
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 behavior influences the weather and that only 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 altitudes 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
8:32 am
however, still relies on all rituals. then the 2 bedrooms yakima, we're keeping the tradition of our forefathers and whenever there is a drought, we need to perform sacrifices to our ancestors, such as that's what they were doing or to get abundant food and rain boats. and if you don't perform these rise, it won't rain properly. we agenda which are not done, boise, and due to human induced climate change weather extremes, are also becoming noticeably stronger here in northeastern. gone to the normal rainy seasons are failing to occur replaced by sand storms or torrential downpours . in the non erie 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
8:33 am
or not know for short. and then when we play the kid task a, have a form of this group. so it will to, to, to our chief and the advice. and that's important to us, so to see what they in the photos to do so that the funding will induce. we see then, this year we'll have to wait mazda a meet a week from that event. so that you, well enough, i'm quitting at eva 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 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 him,
8:34 am
but we have the 1250 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 video. and if i swung me dig going in there about my or outbreak, literally my, we go to put it out and investigate the car for you. what is it that if someone deliberately sent the fire the person who's done that before, the elders. and finally, getting that i'm oh i see keeping a good environment, they just the best way to enjoy your life. see all this stuff like you the campaigners raise awareness among the villagers. not. yeah,
8:35 am
i know that and we've been getting fewer rains in recent years, and it's been severe storms that destroying our homes. that's why i believe the young people look, they tell us to plant trees instead of cutting them down. it's better than our own practices toilet smiling. a hero 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 now 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 needed a gas? yeah. fucking down as we started doing, mal phone cuts in 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
8:36 am
don't get filed out for for find out for the local organizations, project managers regularly for sitting on your 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 wind breaks. after 3 years, the program manager makes an initial assessment. we believe that is the funding part time 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 out 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 huge brigades now exist in 5 communities, the northeastern gonna 20 volunteers are always active. they're taking the many small steps together with the villagers to at least counter act. anthropogenic climate change on
8:37 am
a local level. young people are both compacting long held superstitions, but they are also of the full frontal preserving ation traditions. let's go to the pristine forest around in some remote villages in northeastern india, a 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 yeah, mm hm. bye bye. mean m your yeah, seen the key some by that ancient cause these books on describe the close born between humanity and meet them. yeah, i see the judge,
8:38 am
i knew where it belongs to the 50 or so families who lived out in the mountains of chewed up on g in northeast in the us make on yesterday for my the song asks me to hook it. like the wind lands growing among the flower bed, saw so so to me by making them can hold him. can you come all these are garlic, china, which we eat about in ship long. this is a while and then we have bonded pals which we cultivate for funding for them. come not the nail fuck during the month of september and the half of their ready to have it. so when i and because of it by not provide on the edge of apply button when you're cutting them, so i don't mean to hack them via 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 produce to
8:39 am
real life. they make an important contribution to biodiversity. 3 quarters of migalia as far as that. so people here go the across among the wide cheese and shops. cindy, agro ecologist got the good works for the ne, slow food and agro biodiversity society, or the next task for shocked. the n g o wants to preserve that agents traditional kind of duration nutritional practices. so if we look at the, with the indigenous communities have 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,
8:40 am
but slash and burn 40 is cleared and i'm increasingly heavy. the info is have both taken this tool on the soil. in the 1990s, deluca samuels of non co started calculating bluegrass to own living. it's useful lives to feed, to make blue and fuels. but this mono culture has severely degraded the soil. nobody so football, i brought it to where he got caught up when able to walk me a little bit. but it is a highly competitive blonde and you have gone long without the other crosses because of the damage i took up and finally got home. but when do i leave? i'm getting to really blotted because of the most and lot one graphic. if i let me know, model by as market price is for bluegrass rules, almost 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
8:41 am
supports more than $130.00 villages in northeastern india. and with the help of the ancient knowledge from the region, agriculture in the mountain, for it all is becoming more sustainable for future generations. so long set a cool love living in how many we've nature, knowing all about gone. so trees like those indigenous communities we have just seen this is knowledge, but more than city dwellers how to often last or never not. but 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 on many of a wild plants and
8:42 am
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 all problems integrated well, but so got you guys can in greenway towels, the participants on his farting course about the edible plants here, including a flowering pond, quote, honesty that tastes much like must it. there's also wild strawberries and wild rocket as well as nettles and buckboard. we count through enough forwards 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
8:43 am
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's day present april if a have because we do a little gardening and we've spoken about it before wanting to like be able to eat food that we can just also. 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
8:44 am
importance and the need to conserve them. so i with fostering for diversity as well as say to new pods and punch in 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, twice because on wildlife products smugglers with a life sentence for ivory possession and other convictions of because plus gold to try wildlife crimes, husband as to boost and complex out judge a lot is comments on you is these weeks equal here, all of the left sold on way trying to roam free in uganda was to like, push it in 1983 these huge, but they'll say anymore couldn't live to be 45 years old. but to yeah,
8:45 am
it was hunted out of existence by people wanting to sell its own illegally. vicki less rarely fish justice. glad discuss. send you from us because for special was less quote. wants to change your that a non law who is a victim in a wide life guess it does not have a sense 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 their case. they will have a chance to appear in court to tell the story, to show us the pain, like where a human being is, the victim. since you've been as wide lift, quote was established in 2017 income pilot. jessica messengers dispensed justice in more than 1000 cases. below and great goes on. then we'll come a 2nd is determined to help cover
8:46 am
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 role. 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 them 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 $3000.00 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
8:47 am
who use this p, as some of them consider all of these p as a distance of thought. therefore they meet as an for you, you will, you can't even fairly the distance of 5 meters. and these old people, i have been in the poaching activities, that item titled lease mind was arrested after killing a buffalo with a spear such cases used to fish delays. and you would, you know, really go assist you and really resulted in steve sentences, but white gloves. 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 procedures on the bank they considered yesterday because and now it is
8:48 am
a special court who are bringing the suspects from photos of the country. and so it was thought that the good thing about incentives is people who wants to commit to play when they, you know, that's why it's who committed his claim. you wouldn't be taken to come, but that is a special court. and you kind of be given a hash punishment. so i think to me that towards a very good thing kinda said you've seals that some suspects presented to harcourt to best time to the importance of consolidation and protecting endangered species. so beyond types, judicial role, she has 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. quincy vision 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,
8:49 am
and they kind of as well become the official portez sons to close sufficient efforts. then no more than such a way try nose in uganda. judge come, i said you hopes of the countries was soon sent to the right. so if i knew most when dealing with pushing and trafficking, van creatures like the sold on like trade, no. me once again live long lives in freedom. what unimpressed the woman i am so proud that we have such a quotes here in uganda. but as important as this walk ease, it won't be even better. it's present poaching in the 1st place. the 1st step is to know exactly which species room all for us. and that's what a group of young people in india is trying to do. they use moving technology and even artificial intelligence to count on determined, spacious wildlife conservation. 3 point, oh,
8:50 am
some. well good. you is looking for the, it's the own utilities for kansas national museums heads to the field because usual tools they know kill us a finely tuned in and lots of patients. so white without dropping chat. see it's a space kinetic calling. yeah. but some of those is not just here for a walk in the woods. he's helping to collect the data for the forest, since he looks for species that can help identify threats to the eco system. today he hopes to find a bit cold hutch out to that cool. so, but it's like those uh for us dependent cuz they do rely on indigenous for assistance for the food and breathing and foraging areas. so when we lose speech is
8:51 am
like the hot collab store cool. we know that the forest healthy is in decline and may be, will indicate that we need to do something about that in terms of maybe reduce into fietta around. so plants 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 bit 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 sense. i'm not too difficult on this end of for an adjustment in addition intelligence. all right, for oh, do data collection with the goal of monitoring ecosystems using so we have a follow up on in do tags the by chance. mm hm. summer is excited about this invention. he believes it can help him in his work to even being out here for
8:52 am
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 fietta and machine learning powers. the technology, as well as most official intelligence recorded audio is converted into visualize data, which is then on the lice. it used to teach the system to recognize bit calls and
8:53 am
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 tote. 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 long she for station projects in areas damaged by human activity. like here in campbell county's key in the district.
8:54 am
more than 30000 indigenous trees replied to ina, 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 tool in a power to this and we've got to dream it is of trees. and it is possible for me to images to 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 miracle 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
8:55 am
a growing patch or forest, just like the designs with a bio acoustic microphone, the code for citrix, of to ease open so, so other researches across africa and beyond can freely adapted to help keep it consistently intact. you learn something new everyday. fascinating techniques. how would these we in today's show, i hope you enjoyed it. as most i saw you did. i have chris that lives in 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 boys 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. you get the the

meat hope. no one is the stars of x equals couple bosh soft ground rustling in kampala fighting like you've never seen it before. if somebody crazy and the best part is the women seem to be needing the fact the 77 percent in 30 minutes. the
8:58 am
my name is the calls back said wow, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it loud. things would have been, you know, say like good everyone to ok. retiring into the microphone. sorry. check out the award winning outcome. don't hold back. each done. my story. of the people who planned me built a case in van lines. i am not too dumb. depends the secret. listen closely and i will tell you about those who built me up and then told me that
8:59 am
i am not saddam depending. i have mocked my cities days for centuries, and accompanied my country through its finest until the day nearly furnished the ice do not to them to tell the stunts. july 18th, oh d, w, the the,
9:00 am
this is the w news by from the land. joe biden calls on americans to cool. they have political templates. politics, never be a little battle. god for good. can we change the way as president condemns violets after his arrival? suffice an assassination attempt english is donald trump. well, trump arrives at milwaukee. the republican national convention equals for unity politics go on with the republican national convention or think today as spanish football fans are ecstatic as the team is crowned champions with.
