to understand can have a safe place to buy, dw used on instagram, and follow up the 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 eco africa. i am sandra co homes, a 3 nobody, right to income plot. uganda. we're almost taking the trip around the world. we view base week. that's right, sandra, a request for sustainable practices will had as far as some remote in the mountains

. but one reports at the time, i am chris of loans, illegals nigeria. this week, we will take a look at the pipeline a i to, to come back to po change in kenya, keeping up adver forestry. traditions. 10 indians mountain is region and honoring a judge in a wide life called in uganda. while we're getting started in gone, uh we have superstitions, a bound in the countryside. some people believe that's bad. behavioral influences, the weather. and that's only about peace 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 use for day it 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 to the normal rainy season, sir. 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 task a, have a form 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 limited wheel from that event. so that you went off? i'm clearly over at the funding would reduce growing crops to close to the river that has negative consequences for the environment scientist warren, 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,

what do you see reduces it means that the amount of him, 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 discussed 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 my video. and if i swung me dig going down there about my or outbreak, literally we go to put it out and investigate the car for you. what is it that of if someone deliberately sent the fire, the person has done that before the elders. and finally, getting that i'm oh, i keeping a good environment, they just the best way to enjoy your life. see all the stuff like, you know,

the campaigners raise awareness among villagers. now it's up to you. i know for talent 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, if they tell us to plant trees instead of cutting them down, it's better than our own practices. only smiling 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 a sting. 3 years ago. the villagers know only take individual branches for firewood . instead of cutting down the whole 3, so youth brigade receive support from both national and international sponsors. together with a villagers, they weren't able to plant 5 more hectares of acacia trees. knew the guys yeah, fuck land. as we started doing them off on cutting it, today's $4.00 to $5.00 file, if i would, and also a brand new chuckle. so we, we,

we brand that this guys. yeah. for the next 3 years or 3 years coming. ok, they're gonna get files out for for find out for the local organizations. project managers regularly visit down 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, when breaks 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 generations . this also includes regularly collecting plastic that would otherwise be blown around by the wind. such use brigades now exist and 5 communities in 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 pool. uh even cold. yeah. mm hm. bye bye. me let me your you asking the key some by that ancient cause these folk song describes the close born between

humanity and nature. richard zondaway belongs to the 50 or so families who live here in the mountains of cheat up wednesday in northeast india as make on yesterday. my the song asks me to forget like the white lands growing among the flower bed. so 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 it is. and then we have bonded pals which we cultivate for buying for them. come not the new new during the month of september and the half of the ready to have is when i and because of it by not provide on the edge of a lot like open when you're cutting them. 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 their produce to real life. they make an important contribution to biodiversity, 3 quarters of migalia, as far as that. so people here go there across among the wide trees and shrubs. cindy, agro ecologist got the dog good works for the ne, slow food, an agro biodiversity society, or net spots for shots. the n g o wants to preserve the agents traditional kind of duration nutrition 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. there's multi cropping. we're 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 surveys by and that's fine. but slash and burn, ford is cleared and i'm increasingly heavy. the info have both taken their story on the soil. in the 1990s, the lucas on most of non co, started calculating dress to own a living. it's useful lives to feed, to make boot and fuel. but this mono culture has severely degraded the soil and the body. so football, i need to have you caught up with me. don't know. what don't like me, who 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 the blotted 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. this boss has launched programs to revise what's being lost. i mean now supports more than 130 villages in northeastern india, with the help of the engine 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 give an edible ones in the biggest cities as on next report shows cummings wide from the bridges copy tony london, he's a didn't get beat bass week. and you have to tell a homeless senate tree park in east london,

an unexpected trend. this flourishing sky said around the graves of many edible wild clouds and had a treasure trains of some natural ingredients. anyone keen to explore to none a growing number of people attending courses? the aim of a is to add to people's knowledge. so most people have done some think, but maybe just a wild goldlick, but they want to learn more, so they want to learn how to identify plants more confidently. they won't say loud recipe ideas, and they want to experience a range of while problems integrated will. but so got you guys can in greenway, tell us the participants on the as far as getting calls about the edible plants here, including a flowering pond quoted honesty, the tastes much like must. it is also wild strawberries and wild rock. it is what is nettles and buckboard we can't do enough forwards and toes that very probably 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 interesting 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 go so. so i thought it was a good that empowers you, but it also makes you feel your really positive nature and you can use nature but wisely. you know, i think this thing about the rules 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. foraging 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 gold to try wildlife crimes, husband as to boost in complex out. judge a lot is comments on you, is these weeks equal here? all the less so than way trying to roam free and you're going to like, push it in. 1983, this huge, but they'll say,

i mean more can live to be 45 years old. but to you, it was hunted out of existence by people wanting to sell its own illegally. the key less rarely fixed justice gladys come to send you from us because 1st space show what less quote wants to change or that and then more who is a victim in the wildlife 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 in compiler. 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 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 then will come my son who is determined to help cub illegal wildlife trait. 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 spent

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 all 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 older people, or will have been in the poaching activities. that item titled this month was arrested after killing of buffalo. we disappear, 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 of a very trafficky life in prison. the judgment was white and welcomed by cloud solutions. we started to see some processors on the bank they

consider yesterday because and now it is a special court who are bringing the suspects from photos. the country and so we started to get thinking that incentives is people who wants to commit to cry when they, you know, that once you commit to this claim, you wouldn't be taken to come by. that is a special court. and you kind of be given the hash punishment. so i think to me that towards the very good thing i kinda said you've seen was that some suspects presented to harcourt to best time to the importance of consolidation and predicting 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 when sufficient is most fuqua solved 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 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. us. what an impressive 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.

3.0. some well, good. you is looking for the, it's the new colored 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 white without dropping sat see it's it's, you can have it color. yeah. but some of those is not just here for and work in the woods, is helping to collect the data for the forest. since he looks for species that can help identify threats to the system. today, he hopes to find a bit cold. how close to that call. so buds like those uh for us dependent because they knew rely on indigenous for assistance for the food and breeding 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, i'm not scrolling sure. and when it comes to deciphering bed 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 a team developed on this into for an adjustment and addition intelligence. all right, for i would do data collection with the goal of 20000 ecosystems using so we have a solid name do tags the by chance. 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 interference machine learning powers. the technology, as well as most official intelligence recorded audio is converted into visualize

data, which is then analyzed and used to teach the system to recognize bit calls and other costs to come back as the recorded and process. audio data from the field helps researches and ecology is draw conclusions of what the floor is help. this data can be very useful when it comes to environmental decision making. when it comes to equal the system such as forest beds, uh good indicator of the forest health. when we are getting list submitted from those areas that i've seen decline 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 ecosystem health of that area that could probably leads to find that destruction. this can help to launch the forestation projects in areas damaged

by german activity. like here in campbell county's key, any 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 this scientist chooses a special tool 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 so to but it's 3 dimensional understanding of the scene in front of the camera, citrix machine learning based software. she vision as a mitch claim 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 for the bio acoustic microphone. the code for subjects of to is open source, so other researches across africa and beyond can freely adopted to help keep it, consistently, insects you learn something new every day. fossil 18 techniques with these we add to base show. i hope you enjoyed it. as most i saw you dates of 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. you get the, the
