make sure you miss nothing about is on the w title. i hope you enjoy the trip here as much as i did. what about you? what's your opinion? feel free to write your thoughts and the comments. the i'm priscilla 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 products 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 energy property in somalia with solar power we met

only gen, mind ancient by way any don't know how citizen sciences helping reduce my read plastic pollution. what the data on salt offer tells west coast home to one of the what's most expensive shellfish abalone the close 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 watches of doing by on south africa's west coast, dive is not on a mission to protect what they call white gold. the wealth most highly prized shellfish beasts on health and could be mistaken for a muscle. but the perfectly common flushed evident,

is in fact to snail with grazing habits. good health to keep the cal 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 to 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 of 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 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 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 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 us as a journalist and researcher 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 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 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. uh, some tvs are sandoval, we can get them in uh, live, and michelle. we can use the live uh and the, and channels and everything for 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 practices that we do have high enjoying novelist faces stuck on the doors. you may avenue in from 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 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. 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, the what it, what 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 and from from beach east of gun his capital across. and not just collecting old ways. this group called plastic punch have a plan the salting, measuring and cancelling all the items as a weapon to find back against the scourge. richmond kennedy clark group 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 they see the data collection of form of citizens signs as a way out of the mess we uh,

when does between us hello not the solution for the plastic solution minutes, because this i funding this high side, they'll be much less coming in higher buy stuff. that's a very good activity to pull its relevance visa. then once we have close to trace it onto the, is to understand what the police on what this polluted and also which brian, this which campaign yourself, what you would say with the dates that i chose team can begin the crucial next phase, helping the local authorities to understand the ways 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 is 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, some estimates, say the rate of increase the triple in the coming decades. the you in environment programs as 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 data said, and let's officials of governance, the technical service study effort. this very useful that 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 nic for individuals. to the extent that one it doesn't then coverage taught isn't to um, it's affects aquatic. life being able to present for steam beaches is of course also find sold a gun, a $1000000000.00 tory sector. meanwhile, full citizens, scientists like richmond and kennedy, quite group. the hardware because only just begun once to see the data turns into meaningful change. no, no, we understand the problem to solve it. so we need so new things. so we need political will we need investments, it's a waste management system. it's what they need to package and we need a self awareness. 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 beach and the trash data it has been longed. 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 all trucks. again, now it does involve, we can still line and 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 mess of stones. this is everyday life with a female mind, those in cutaway. they're looking for. i can marine today. they get lucky. how does that push out here? 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 option. 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,

for instance, 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 no sense in bob where or to is cars and has to be used sparingly. so the woman don't take what to from that to code. so river, but sausage from a disuse mind. we rainwater clicks, 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 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 of the vegetable song is also sustainable. for example, the women use organic, fertilize a made from catwoman you and the practice crop rotation to enrich the swell growing vegetables such as kill onions and carrots. in the past, the main crop grown 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 were 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 the 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 little data available about environmentally friendly and fan monroe 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 back and compared it to them. all it does is off the 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 too. from the old

ones and probably too close to somalia, we are 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 a lot 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 read. yeah, there's somebody a to see how and then you pull the t affects people's lives and what can be done. so i leave you to it's i owe us middle, some money is pleased, 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. on or not. yeah, i'd be, i'm 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 are 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 in or i 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 that most people on the peninsula leave from fishing. like mohammed double up the hard to. it's got used to spoiling the heat before he could take it to the marketing. mogadishu, this on a pod freezers house, the fees stay fresh,

low. now. i have a look though, then i don't worry about the to fish icons 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 markets and expect to sell them for $30.00 each of those to of the electrification program he up 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, so money private companies that have already started to invest in solar energy. the

company tar muscle is not 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 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 that nobody to have with on during the night. it was of like the village with electricity that's we have been used. you're using the website, it's no, it's even easier to get to water and electric pump 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 of the top. the fire estimate also bundle loans on it, so she left it all the way when she wants to cook for her family of 7. and what do i want to do that? now i can get some rest and have tap 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, 1st method skeptics do 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 his 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 lifestyle is being installed and a fast and efficient 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 challenge fund the world bunk covers the remaining 40 percent of the loan, the many goodwill ton a profit for to a muscle in 3 years time. we look at these training and you saw the technicians for the company, such experts of identity needed some money. a funding aid is increasing the 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 ducts is subbing as an example to the region. 300 mill house was nearby and not getting the until the public menu bows it from all here at the ico africa of this week. i hope you've enjoyed the 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, illegals nigeria
