the impending concise dot com the priscilla and san lagos, nigeria, welcome to our new edition of echo, forgot to month, cause deployment disruption. there's no effect of life this week. we're looking at the examples across the continental process for me to change the many ways that the economies of societies are react to in to today's new reality and not dumped into a show of by the way, with me becomes more sustainable. here's what's coming up. finding

energy property in somalia with solar power we met only jam mind needs and by weight any don't know how citizens scientists help introduce marine plastic pollution. what big data on salt offer does west coast home to one of the what's most expensive shellfish abalone? the close the communities of bell play, a key role in meeting the growing global demand for this lock streets, the 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 what is the doing by on south africa is west coast dive is not on a mission to protect what they call white goals. the world's most highly prized shellfish beasts on health and could be mistaken for a muscle. but the perfectly common flushed avenue 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 ada diving school training to can come from us, so davis, and then we will take out another to another 2 people from the communities to do diving for us. and it will also help us to come to the approaching process. samuel central unit is the c e o. during by abalone from the company strives 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 expose.

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, during by development trusts. the idea is to keep local residents on board with sustainable fishing. if you steal from you'll, you'll say at the end of the day when you say will be declared will be will be smaller. and then i think people still. 1 stopped understanding their bus and those are all as a shell to 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 for just like warren and his colleagues continued going out to catch up alone regardless dangerous. but what can we do? we are still alive system for you know, families. a good day i can get maybe 2000 a day in the day even get maybe a 40 or 50000. yeah. so what about putting multiple times i've considered the only thing that's keeping me is that i don't give a shot and move them. yeah, we don't think we don't really know what we just think. why do we think it's going to sustain us? the cultures and just the 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 to manage to stop 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 have to so rapidly and the ecological functioning of abilene wasn't something that had been sort of closely monitored before a marine biologist and south africa would be focusing on the fisheries or other ecosystem dynamics. nova other factors such as climate change has impacted the kelp ecosystem, making it hard to pinpoint the effects of the declining abalone populations. 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 euro 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 sustainable. we can get them in life and michelle, we can use the liver and the angels and everything was the 0 wastage. so we're going to face the avalon and tell him, look naturally to my spring out the 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 practices that we do have high enjoying level that they do that on the during the day i've been doing fun. 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 and so you know 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 with 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 stuff 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 with money spent law or efficient the beach clean 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 gun capital across and not just collecting old ways. this group called plastic punch have a plan. this sorting, 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 willing to come around community members speak to shoes if you have any issues. if applicant plastics or

quality plastics, if you are picking up to face you frequently to face this, we are able to separate the reset cloud both from the non reset. so that was because we want 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 across quality. lagoon had been turned into aquatic waste dumps with only a tiny fraction of the cities 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 cold and i 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 signs as a way out of the mess we uh, when docs in between us,

hello not not the solution to the plastic solution, minutes, because desktop i didn't miss high side, they'll be more trust company, hired by stuff. that's a very good activity to call. it's really funds visa. and once we have close to trace it onto the, is to understand what the police on what this for you thing, and also which brian this which company itself. what do you see 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 i really say a couple. and then the ones that i normally say couple. so this informed as, as the assembly, how to plan for the management of 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 combat marine plastic pollution had been held back by lack of reliable data from from beach and gunners. the microcosm of world wide problem. it's been estimated that we have dumped up to 200000000 tons of trash and to the see, most of its indestructible plastic. some estimates say the rate of increase the triple in the coming decades. the u. n. environment programs as the only solution is to fundamentally change how we use plastic things to groups like plastic bunch done, i became the 1st country to monitor a plastic devry density according to us guidelines or the data. it's loaded onto a un platform containing the world's largest citizen science dataset, and let's a officials of governance, the technical service set again,

if at this very useful then when you're cleaning the, 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 him to be just to, to extend that one. it doesn't encourage thought isn't to it affects a particular life. being able to present 15 beaches is of course also find told a gun, a $1000000000.00 tory sector to quote, meanwhile, full citizens, scientists like richmond kennedy, quite group the hardware because only just begun once to see that data turns into meaningful change. now that we understand the problem to solve it, so we need to so nursing, so we need political will we need investments. it's a waste management system is what they need to package and we need lots of 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 to now and for us, of the citizens sciences of clean the stretches from from beach and the trash date . so it has been long. their hope is that if we overly understand what happens to the plastic, we use a discount that we can truly begin to free the oceans of our trash again. now it does involve, we can still, my name is a multi $1000000000.00 industry that leaves a trail of devastation in its wake from deforestation to habits out destruction i live on human rights abuses. once it's kind of the don't 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 paid offense salary. splitting the rock take strings and practice. but to notes i found us knows what she's doing. drilling

hammering and holding mess of stones. this is everyday life with a female minus and cut away the looking for. i can marine today. they get lucky. how does uh, hu sheffield, 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 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 of the day with the whole bunch, the 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 she wants these is very large footprints on the environment. and then there is no use of chemicals during the mining process and these minimal you so forth because it's basically taking the emitting rock out of the mother of that. how does it? and then we clean it if necessary, with minimal to me here in no sense in 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 sources from a disuse mind we rainwater clicks, they also need it for the vegetable garden contents 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 i pull quite a suck, watching it. 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 see that

forgot to admit, i'm really 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, better than most jobs in the region of the vegetable. some 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 growing to west tobacco, but the climate change means that they are no longer reliable, rainy seasons and harvest have suffered more and more people. in colorado. i have turned to gold mining here on the river, many legal gold miners,

a woman's labour with it. i can see that the woman at some bunk was, 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 your husband to give them money for school fees, other necessities, at least via independence. as an african countries, mining and zimbabwe is regulated by controls are irregular, very few minds in africa are sustainable. symbolic way is an exception. so there's little data available about environmentally friendly and fan monroe, my name on the continent. but experts do know it's cost. as much as it has to be an awareness 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 miss new blog and compare that to them. all. it does is out of dog. so in mice,

nick is it's an issue of either a challenge, even for the small scale jim, my son buckley of co founder patrick's they don't get is regularly on sites of to 5 years. you'd have pauses are rarely found, the mind still isn't financially viable, but he remains optimistic. we're 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 this building is coming from. and minds like i was going to be the minds of the future. or the woman already taking re not to ration measures and planting trees once a month. big painted 1800 cds. but many having survived the bananas into pious, have thrived and the woman will soon be harvesting them. the carving not a more sustainable future, not just in the gym mine,

but here in the fields to from no guns in 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 one of the challenges people face will lock access to energy. it's a major 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 leave you to ask me those monies, please, especially since she's only drawing water from the swell 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. like on that on the fluid was closed. or the well, the yeah, okay, what are you in a big changes of come to the little village of by ducks and the 1000 residents of the spinning slot at the gates of somebody's copy to look at the issue. finally, we have electricity. it's even on a pallet or is it under our 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 more harm. the god of the heidi is got used to spoiling the heats before he could take it to the marketing. mogadishu, the solar pod for his house, the feast,

stay fresh loan. how do you do then? i don't worry about the 2 fish. i caught it 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 mark on sending them to markets 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 it somebody is sending this need to be exploited. there are a lot of companies, somebody 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 box. 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 houses, we can increase the t. and she's making sure that the to goes to plant 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 people and nobody to handle it and do it on the night. that puts of light at the village with electricity. that's we have the news, you're using the website, it's no, it's even easier to get to water and electric from drugs water 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. i estimate the ultimate 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? no, 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. up on to the next installation, the many good companies for technicians plus the method skeptically, some doubted where the solar power was as good as conventionally generated electricity. although he 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 it, finishing money from the people who would just take the monthly expenses,

but it's $10.00 per month. this family decided to jump on the bundle of a life filed ease being installed and a fast and efficient use. horizons. dokie send them the 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 to the mini grid costs about $70000.00 us dollars. international donors contribute 60 percent via africa enterprise. the challenge fund, the world bank, covers the remaining 40 percent of the loan. the many grid will turn a profit clips or muscle in 2 years time. we look at these training use sort of technicians for the company. such experts of items you needed us to money. a for an aide is increasingly counting on solar energy at sundown, socializing, all those used to come to an ending up a duck some but thanks to the electricity is totally into many groups. big feet,

there is no light up to duck. and a lot of up to the wow, let's look at the top now tomorrow. so gives us electricity, uninstalled lights on the roads, all of our children and old people are playing and chatting out doors the way but shadowing. we are grateful to them, but we best that are not the solar project on update duct is subbing as an example to that region. 300 mil house was nearby and not getting the until the public, many 1000 from all. here are eco africa 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 love hearing from you. for now it's good bye for me. crystal lens, illegals nigeria.

the the

time to change cost. join us on a journey into the future of seafaring climate. power ships can become clean in 90 minutes on the w of the so you didn't think and feel the same way you expect. and one different thing and some lines from your parents. i just want to pursue what steps my saw on fire or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable, all stuff. i want my son to the doctor to indicate it's

time to to. and then when generation nash, which now dw documentary on the front lines, under the watchful eyes of russian rosario sees in the years the war in ukraine, john and his shoreline getting reports from the russian occupied on bass regions to russian sold. just think about the conflicts, if they're still good, what else to do was to stop by tomorrow, and he's got a ran as a well usually in accessible to western media. a closer look into some more of the tricia the ukraine's when
