this is my next tech. this has to check the bags, so you're planning a trip to make sure you miss nothing about is on the w travel. i hope you enjoy the trip here as much as i did about you. what's your opinion? feel free to write your thoughts and the comments. the personal and san lagos, nigeria, welcome to our new edition of echo, i forgot you meant cause to fly me disruption. there's no effect of life this week . we're looking at the examples of pros, the continental problems for me to change the many ways that the economies of societies are reacting to today's new reality and adopt into a show of by the way, with me becomes more sustainable. here's what's coming up.

finding the energy property in somalia with solar power we met only gen, mind ancient by way. any don't know how citizens scientists help introduce marine plastic pollution. what perdita on salt offer tells west coast home to one of the what's most expensive shellfish abalone because the communities that play a key role in meeting the growing global demand for this locks recently food, but at 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 that on a mission to protect what they call? white gold? the wealth most highly prized shellfish beasts on tell and could be mistaken for

a muscle. but the perfectly common flushed avenue is in fact to snail with grazing habits. good, help 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 folks you can process samuel fund. julian 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 x.

so the customer loves everyone have a loan 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'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. this 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 that in the day even get or maybe a 40 or 50000. yeah. so what about cooking multiple times? i've considered the only thing that's keeping me is that i don't give a shot an income. yeah, we don't think we, 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 joint and this and research of who says other known poaching has reached an all time high. that obviously has somebody come logical impacts. generally, they aren't super well understood because of the client have to so rapidly and the ecological functioning of abeline wasn't something that had been sort of closely monitored before a marine biologist in south africa would be focusing on the fisheries or other ecosystem dynamics. nova other factors such as climate change has impacted the cal equal system, 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 booming, 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 an avalon from atlanta today i filled out the west coast. yeah. oh, they farming practices and everything. so c, d 's, a sandoval, we can get them in life and michelle, we can use the liver and the angels and everything was a 0 wastage are we going to face the avalon intel is naturally tonight to bring 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 hi . enjoying that. they do that on the during the day i've been doing some meet ashton, who provides a glimpse into how important this sustainable solution can be. i a 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 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, big deal of my, of my family, big deal. my kids hopes are high that the ever known firm will grow and free invest in the community if it can develop the, i think it would, it would out create jobs for more people in the community then. and so. so we can, we can 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 gun is capital across. and not just collecting all the ways. this group called plastic punch have a plan. this 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 are good 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. 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. while they're done, finding them, you know what that weighs, what it weighs, such as across call a lagoon had been turned into aquatic waste dumps. we'd only a tiny fraction of the cities trash being properly collected and recycled. besides, poisoning the land, 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 good that a big deal of the trash wash is down to prime 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 the solution for the plastic solution minutes, because this i funding this high side, they'll be more trust coming in. power buy stuff, that's a very good activity to collect relevance visa. then once we have well situated onto the is the one the sound. what the police on what this polluted and also which brian this which campaign yourself, what you would say with the data collect whose team can begin the crucial next phase. helping the local authorities to understand the waste flows and 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 one is that there is 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 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 the things, the 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 dentist at unmarried let's a officials of gunners that technical service. so do you have

a very useful that when you came in to the beach, they also compiling data that would let 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 encourage tarzan to it affects a particular life. being able to present 15 beaches is of course also find sold a gun, a $1000000000.00 tory sector quote, midwife will citizen 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 so you are saying, so we need political, will we need investments? it's a waste management system into what they need to package and we need and also how

when this we are listening to the science, we are listening to the hosting and what the results i've given us when we make sense. and we need to talk to now and fast of the citizen sciences of clean this stretch of pump from beach and the trash data 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, my name is a multi $1000000000.00 industry that leaves a trail of devastation and its weight from deforestation to habits out destruction unable and human rights abuses. once it can be done responsibly. our fund in mind we had not only is the impact on the environment, cuts to a minimum, the workforce is made up of we meant only and the a 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. they're looking for icon, the re 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 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 then with the whole bunch, the set in the tongue auction and 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 more 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 domain in 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 what estimate to good, so river, but sausage from a just use my way 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 under privilege families. but i know the while i pull requests like 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 to that? to me, i'm really we 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, the vegetable farm is also sustainable. for example, the women use organic, fertilize a made from catch when 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 pro issue was tobacco. 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 life. i don't care if i can see that the woman at some bank. 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 your husband to give them money for school fees as a necessity, at least via independence. as an of the 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 a 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 mis looked out and compare that to them. all it does is out of dog. so the mice, nick is it's an issue of yeah, that's a challenge even for the small scale jim, my son buckler, co founder patrick. so you don't get it regularly on site. after 5 years, usually pauses are rarely found. the mines 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 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 $1800.00 cds, but many having survived the bananas and papayas have thrived, and the woman will soon be harvesting them. the carving out

a more sustainable future, not just in the gym mine, but here in the fields too. from the old ones and probably too close to somalia. we're pretty used to charge you know, 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 a lot of the challenges people face lock access to at a gate. 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'll leave you to ask middle, some of these, 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 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, we have electricity. it's even solar power, 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 mohammed double up, do you. 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 and because the solar company tomorrow, so brought the freezer where the fish will remain until a driver comes to pick them up. but have also had a book, i'm sending them to market and expect to sell them for $30.00. each of those to of the electrification program he up would solve as a model for positive changes in the country. on the home of africa, somalia was long viewed as a field that this is a developing country recovering from insecurity and civil war. arrived with a year, if somebody is sunny and this needs to be exploited,

there are a lot of companies, so many private companies that have already started to invest in solar energy. the company to our muscle is not promoting one of these projects. the nobody ducks in these many groups sort of plant with a 10 kilowatts capacity lice of the hot feats. it should provide all of the roughly 150 houses. we can increase the t. and she is making sure that the to goes to plant weed is a trained electrical engineer the plan to provide 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 in the by the how do with and do it in the night. it will supply 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 pump draws 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, see what it comes right out of the top. the fire estimate ultima no longer needs to lift it all the way when she wants to cook. so how many of 7 and what do i want to do that? is it a 5? no, i can get some rest and have temp water in my home by solar power 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, some dotted where the solar power was as good as conventionally generated electricity. although they was superstitious and see it, 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 one of the people the of the best we decided that we want to take on

a solution when you from the people who would just take the monthly expenses, that's a $10.00 per month. this family decided to jump on the bundle of a life filed ease being installed and the 1st 10 eviction is new horizons. 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 tonnage fund, the world bank covers the remaining 40 percent of the loan. the many good will turn a profit quotes from us. so in 3 years time, we look at these training, you sort of technicians for the company. such experts of identity needed us to money a 48 years, increasingly counting on solar energy at sundown, socializing outdoors used to come to an ending up

a duct sum. but thanks to the electricity is towed into many groups, victory. there is no lice of to duck and a lot of fun to be to wow, let's look at the top now tomorrow. so it gives us electricity, uninstalled lights on the roads, all of our children and old people are playing and chatting outdoors the way. but yeah, i don't, we are grateful to them, but we best out or not. the solar project on update duct see, is subbing as an example to the region. 300 more households nearby and not getting the until the public many that was it from all here. i echo africa speak. 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. crystal lens, illegals,

nigeria, the,

the, the germans are voting for the far right, causing growing concern and fear. some see parallels to hitler's rise to power. what are the events in 1933 really comfortable to 2024. right, so the far right to germany repeats its nazi past those in 15 minutes on the w 9. the change particularly

scary for the younger generation. and this for years they feel helpless. all the ways out of this the tomorrow today. in 90 minutes on d. w. the living in our society is full of contrasts and inequality is a big challenge. many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think of each other's and misleading. what is home? how do we talk of the major issues about time?

talk about the, there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our systems our series. it continues to d. w. innovation green, the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of time. it's probably up to speed. if the carriers subscribe to those channels to subscribe to plan, it's a, the, it's a universal principle of life, a fundamental human right? everyone should have access to a non nutritious divers,

affordable and facing. it starts with nature, a journey from our farms to our tables where we come together to celebrate our cultural identities. world food, a food is a right every day for everyone everywhere. the this is the w news coming to live from berlin. these really military opens, yet another pricing front is real moves troops and to south west live along claiming it killed. a top has bullet commander in strikes on the capital will go live to be route for the late and also coming up, strikes inside a central guy is a refugee can't leave thousands. this is really military says, it was forcing an eminent a mazda attack. the militants had earlier fired rockets into israel, the
