as we say there about never getting up every weekend on d w the i'm priscilla and san lagos, nigeria, welcome to our new edition of eco africa. human cause department disruption. there's no effect of life this week. we're looking at the examples across the continental problems for me to change the many ways that the economies of societies are react to into today's new reality and adopt into a show about the way with me becomes more sustainable. here's what's coming up.

finding energy property in somalia with solar power, we met only jim mind the ancient by way and in the downtown house, citizens sciences. helping reduce my reading plastic pollution. what big data on salt offer tells west coast home to one of the what's most expensive shellfish abalone because the communities of bell play a key role in meeting the growing global demand for this locks recently. fluids, but not least, the local official people clock between the needs to make a living. and the leads to protect marine life. in the watches of doing by on south africa's west coast, dive is not on a mission to protect what they call white goals. the world's most highly prized

shellfish beasts on tell and could be mistaken for a muscle. but the perfectly common flushed evidence is in fact to snail with grazing habits, good health, to keep the count equal system in balance. its population is on the brink of extinction. due to poaching and illegal trades with asia, where it is a lucrative delicacy enduring by people are trying to provide alternatives and we are having 2 people on the farm currently in gordon's by the end of diving school training to become commercial davis. and then we will take out another, another 2 people from the communities to do diving for us, and it will also help us to come to the phone. she can process samuel fund. julian is the c e o. during by abalone from the company stripes to provide the sustainable and legal alternative, growing the snails on land and in the ocean. and f alone snail takes up to 10 use to grow to size before being harvested and dried for expos.

so the customer loves loans safe, especially the farm is the main employer in the small fishing town with a permanent workforce of 52 people breeding growing and preparing this nails for markets. the company is 35 percent community owned through the building by development. trust the idea is to keep local residents on board with sustainable fishing. if you still form your, we'll share at the end of the day when you'll save will be declared will be, will be smaller. and then i think people stop, stop understanding their bus and those are all as a sale the outside in the community. so they stop protecting also. so she lives now the fate of the other known as closely linked to socio economic inequalities in south africa here. and handbook and k tell people have been living off the sea for

generations, but the government reductions of quotas to protect the remaining stock. left small scale fissures, which was close to nothing vicious like warren and his colleagues continued, going out to catch up alone regardless dangerous. but what can we do? we are still alive. there's 2 feet of families. a good day. i can get maybe 2000 that in the die even get on a we for the 1st 2000. yeah. to what about cooking multiple times? i've considered the only thing that's keeping me is that i don't give a shot at them. yeah, we don't. thank you. we, we don't really know what we just think. why do we think is going to sustain us, the cultures and just a tiny share of the legal trait. but over the past 17 years, the total value of illegally harvested as a known from south africa was estimated to be 819000000

u. s. dollars. regular one forestman has not minutes. just don't the trade that's become increasingly violent and corrupt. came on display of is a journalist and researcher who says other known poaching has reached an all time high. that obviously has some of the cultural impacts. generally, they aren't super well understood because of the client happy so rapidly and the ecological functioning of abilene wasn't something that had been sort of closely monitored before a marine biologist in south africa would be focusing on the fisheries or the ecosystem dynamics nova. i'll defect as such as climate change has impacted the cal ecosystem, making it hard to pinpoint the effects of the declining abalone population. sustainable farming is one way out of the crisis, but so far it is not competing with the blooming illegal markets. customers in asia pay up to $2012.00 more than $200.00 heroes for one single avenue. and

so you won't find many local restaurants here without the known on demand. among the precious few is fine. in cape town, we get a avalon from atlanta today i filled out the west coast. yeah. oh, the farming practices and everything. so sweet is a sandoval, we can get them in life. and michelle, we can use the liver and the angels and everything was the 0 wastage, are we going to face the avalon intel is naturally to my spring out there? mommy's negative. this attached to it. and i think it's sort of jumped to educate to the general public. and i guess as to the most sustainable farming practice is that we do have high enjoy your level of faces back on the doors. you may have been doing some meet ashton, who provides a glimpse into how important this sustainable solution can be. i have present for

myself i, i love what i'm doing. it saves my life in a lot of ways. you f buttons for it and so you build on things and, and so on. when i, when i get this job, i used to separate myself from them. and now i'm a little guy. i'm a family man. they do my of my family, big deal. my kids hopes are high that the other don't farm will grow and free invest in the community if it can develop the i think the do it without create jobs for more people in the community didn't. and so, so we didn't, we didn't know we can go further and the prospect of fishing communities, having more secure livelihoods, should also bring dividends for the afternoon. population. on this report takes us to god the country generates of that green $1100000.00 tons of plastic

waste every year, but less than 10 percent of that is collected, recycled. that's a pretty show configure, but there is hope, a number of prospects organizations coming together to see how they can help make waste management law or efficient of the beach cleaned up is going to be back breaking work similarly and listened future. well, this is a mission with a difference. these volunteers on from from beach, east of gunners, caps in the crow, and not just collecting old ways. this group called plastic punch have a plan. the searching, measuring, and cancelling all the items as a weapon to find back against the scourge. richmond kennedy kwaku organizes these cleanups, helping with volunteers from nearby communities. so when volunteers come around,

community members speak to shoes if the applicant shoes if applicant plastics, a quick quality plastics. if you are picking up to face you frequently to face this, we are able to separate the recycle both from the non respect levels because he wants to the most states and they'll come in and see that they can be some value from these things. what i've done, finding them, you know what that weighs, what it weighs, such as a crowd scorely lagoon had been turned into aquatic waste dumps. we'd only a tiny fraction of the city's trash being properly collected and recycled. besides poisoning deland, the deputies flushed into the ocean, breaking down into micro plastics, getting into the food chain and destroying the classic echo systems. and it's from places like color like drilled that a big deal of the trash wash is down to problem from beach. with plastic punches working as they see the data collection a form of citizen science as

a way out of the mess we uh, when docs in between us. hello, not not the solution for the plastic pollution minutes because just finding this high side they'll be more trust, company, fire, buy stuff, that's a very good activity to call it's a relevance visa. and once we have well situated on today is to understand what the police on what this for you, thing, and also which brian this which company itself. what do you think with the data quite whose team can begin the crucial next phase, helping the local authorities to understand the ways flows and to figure out how to stop it ending up in the ocean. so with that data, we're able to tell where the waste is coming from and the type of ways that is coming into the show. and then the ones that are is a couple and then the ones that i normally say couple. so this informed as, as the assembly, how to plan for the mileage mental,

the waste issue. the citizen science is also a key part of a much bigger puzzle. ocean conservation is one of the united nations, 17 sustainable development goals. but efforts a come back moraine plastic pollution had been held back by lack of reliable data from from beach and gun. as a microcosm of world wide problem, it's been estimated that we have dumped up to 200000000 tons of trash into the sea . most of its indestructible plastic, as some estimates, say, the rate of increase the triple in the coming decades. the u. n. environment program says the only solution is to fundamentally change how we use plastic to, thanks to groups like plastic bunch done, i became the 1st country to monitor a plastic devry density, according to us guidelines. the data loaded onto a un platform containing the world's largest citizen science. thank us. and let's

officials of gunners. the technical service said again, if it was very useful, then when you came in to the beach, they also compiling data that would lift policy, make us appreciate the value of the activity one. to also appreciate what we are doing to ourselves in terms of nick for individuals to the extent that one it doesn't think coverage. tar isn't too. um, it's affects aquatic life. being able to present 15 beaches is of course also find sold a gun to a $1000000000.00 tory sector. meanwhile, full citizens, scientists like richmond and kennedy, quite group the hardware because only just begun once to see that data turns into meaningful change. no, no, we understand the problem to solve it. so we need so new things, we need political will, we need investments, it's a waste management system, it's what they need to package and we need them. so when this we are listening to

the science, we are listening to the same and what the results uh given us when we make sense. and we need to act now and for us, of the citizen sciences of clean, the stretches from from beach and the trash data it has been load. their hope is that if we all really understand what happens to the plastic, we use a discount that we can truly begin to free the oceans of all trucks. again, now it does involve, we can still line, it's a multi $1000000000.00 industry that leaves a trail of devastation and its weight from deforestation to habits out destruction . unable in human rights abuses. once it can be done responsibly. our fund in mind we had not only is the impact on the environment, kept to a minimum, the workforce is made up of, we met only and the a paid a face salary. splitting the rock take strength and practice. but to

notes i found us knows what she's doing. drilling, hammering and holding massive stones. this is everyday life with a female mind. those in cut away, the looking for i can the read today. they get lucky. how does that? i wish i had. i mean, i like working with shovel hammer and chisel because i feel like that ever since i started working with these tools, i'm set to talk and i don't get sick as much as i used to before i started working here got up and bought a lot out a lot us and a way that we're going to be setting that tongue auction that was 3 years ago since then. the 49 year old widow has learned a lot about your mining in this mind, especially because it is sustainable. the reading deposits are often deep inside the rocks, but as manager repeat psych when she explains the method to use you as low impact as possible to make it more sustainable with concentration born using tools and how

much then of lasting so that you will in some of these is very large footprints on the environment and then there is no use of chemicals during the lightning process . and um, there is minimal useful for time because it's basically taking the, committing rock out of the mother of that. how does it? and then we clean it if necessary, with minimal to me here in north sense and bob where or to is cars and has to be used sparingly. so the woman don't take water from that to good. so river, but sausage from a disuse mind way. rainwater cliques, they also need it for the vegetable garden condo next to the my mom we add to choir, and so we did set up some of the vegetables also go to woods assisting underprivileged families. but i know that up for quite a circle at 10 mid i'm are you able to show up? and we also provide the elderly with vegetables,

those in the community and who can no longer fend for themselves. but so you to go out to meet. i'm really while you're working in the fields is another part of town does job. she enjoys dividing her time between gardening and mining and she likes the fact that only women work here. they are in the equivalent of a $180.00 euros a month. but to the most jobs in the region or the vegetable song is also sustainable. for example, the women use organic, fertilize a made from catch one, the new and the practice crop rotation to enrich the swell green vegetables such as kill onions and carrots. in the past, the main crop grows here was tobacco. the climate change means that they are no longer reliable rainy seasons and hovers have suffered more and more people in colorado. i have turned to goals mining here on the go rizza many legal goals minus

a woman's name. i don't see it. i can see that the woman at some bunk. why have comfortable lives? we wanted to join them, but we were told that they would no longer hiring. it's good for them as they no longer have to ask their husbands to give them money for school fees of a necessity, at least via independence. as an of a african countries mining and zimbabwe is regulated, but controls are irregular. very few mines in africa are sustainable. simple, quick is an exception. so there's a little data available about environmentally friendly and fan mineral mining on the continent. but experts do know it's cost as much as it has to be in a way. and if that once a mine is closed, re nature ration needs to occur as extensively as possible and reserve funds have to be set aside for that. uh, definitely a mis looked out and give it to them,

or just as off of dog so it might not make is it's the issue of yeah, that's a challenge even for the small scale jim, my son buckler, co founder patrick's a don't get is regularly on site, after 5 years, usually pauses are rarely found. the mine still isn't financially viable, but he remains optimistic. we making partnerships with companies that focus on empowering sustainable mining. i mean that's, that's the future. everyone wants to know where the trace evidence to be able to trace where the stone is coming from, and minds like i was going to be the minds of the future. this is a woman already taking. we not to ration measures and planting trees once a month. they spent at 1800 c d. but many having survived the bananas and papayas have thrived, and the woman will soon be harvesting them,

their carving out a most sustainable future. not just in the gem line, but here in the fields to from the old ones and probably too close to somalia. we're pretty used to charging out foods weighed at wherever we need to. but imagine live in some way with no electricity. what would you do when by treat arouse out? that's just all of the challenges people face will lock access to energy. it's a big problem for marginalized communities around the world. report a visit that the last bill reach out is somebody a to see how energy poverty affects people's lives and what can be done. so i'll leave you to ask middle somebody's please. especially since she's only drawing water from this well today to show how hard it used to be just to fetch the precious resource for use at home. the

on the i b and the we used to walk more than 3 kilometers from home, looking for water and i was using it and we bring jerry cans to carry it now. so the water was susie and dirty luck on that. on the food wash clothes or the well, the asking you, what are you in a big changes of come to the little village of a by ducks in the 1000 residents of the spinning slot at the gates of somalis copy to look at the issue. finally, have electricity. it's even solar power, or is it or are wireless charging our phones used to be a big problem. i know we'd walk a long way to, to 0 to charge them and pay $50.00 us cents. some of the poor couldn't afford that . but now our homes have power 24 hours a day. most people on the peninsula leave from fishing. like mohammed double up, the hygiene is got used to spoiling the heat before he could take it to the

marketing. mogadishu, the solar pod freezers has the feast. stay fresh, low now. how do you go then i don't worry about the 2 fish icons because the solar company tomorrow so brought the freezer where the fish will remain until the driver comes to pick them up. but they have also had a mike, i'm sending them to market and expect to sell them for $30.00. each of those to of the electrification program here would serve as a model for positive changes in the country. on the horn of africa, somalia was long viewed as a field that this is a developing country recovering from the security on the civil war. around with the somebody is sending this need to be exploited. there are

a lot of companies, so money private companies that have already started to invest in solar energy. the company to our muscle is now promoting one of these projects in a, by ducks. and these many groups sort of plant with a 10 kilowatts capacity life of the hot feats. it should provide all of the roughly $150.00 hoses, we can increase the t. and she is making sure that the to goes to plant 100 is a trained electrical engineer. the plant provides the village with electricity around the clock, even if the sun is in china during the day it would be tucked into. but there is an give on energy to the coordinate system that we support, the show unofficial to the people and nobody to handle it and do it on the night that was of light at the village with electricity that's we have been used, you know, the but that was using the website, it's no, it's even easier to get to water and electric from drugs. what to from this well on

the mainland, to the peninsula, where it's select cindy's water tongue and is distributed to the household. no, the water comes right out the top, the fire estimate ultima, no longer need solution, lift it all the way when she wants to cook for her family of 7. and what do i want to do that? is it a 5? now i can get some rest and have tap water in my home by solar power. we used to fetch water and carry in here from far away. now i have clean water to drink. okay . i like on to the next installation. the many good companies for technicians plus a method skeptic to some doubted where the solar power was as good as conventionally generated electricity. although they was superstitious and see it, that the technology was from the uh, this was simply worried about the cold. and that's why when the 1st 2 months, we didn't have a lot of people uh, of the best we decided that we want to take on is finishing money from the people

who would just take the monthly expenses, such as $10.00 per month. this family decided to jump on the bundle of a life filed ease being installed and the 1st 10 eviction east new horizons thought, asking, well, in the last 30 years, we didn't know what was going on in the outside world. but after we installed solar power and started watching tv at home, that's changed. the mini grid costs about $70000.00 us dollars international. don't us contribute 60 percent via africa enterprise. the challenge fund the world bunk covers the remaining 40 percent of the loan. the many goodwill ton of profit quotes are muscle in 2 years time. we look at these trading new solar technicians for the company, such as exports of items they needed us to money. a forwarding aid is increasingly counting on solar energy at sundown, socializing outdoors, used to come to an ending up. they duck some,

but tanks to the electricity is towed into many groups. bit feet. there is no lights up to duck and a lot of fun to be t. wow, well let's look at the now tomorrow. so give us electricity. uninstalled lights on the roads, all of our children and old people are playing and chatting outdoors anyway. but yeah, i don't, we are grateful we best out or not. this whole a project on update duct see, is subbing as an example to the region. 300 mill house was nearby and i'll getting the until a public, many 1000 from all here i eco, africa of this week. i hope you've enjoyed those stories and they've given you something to think about. well, if you have something to share with us then right, does equal a d w dot com, we'd love hearing from you. for now. it's good bye for me. christa lens,

thing was like a stepping point to, you know, find what you into that warranty wants to finish your studies. now you have a significant from the train. you can choose to go back to somewhere else. currently, more people than ever on the world wide in search of a pass or nice gag. we've something that is coming very very soon and yeah, can we learn more about or know what a story info, migraines? 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. as soon as i was 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

a powder keg in the south china sea. i'm scared of the 3 mile ones on trees. wash shapes are here. what this, of course, the meaning of the honda level comes out to decades of chinese expansion is in the nation is resisting with the support of a powerful ally. the philippines can definitely count on the united states, how some policies be paid to go into scientists set of october 12 o d w. 2 are you ready to make a career change in germany? we have exciting opportunities for your german federal employment agency is offering a fantastic chance for the 25 and different to us like us to let interested in
