[000:00:00;00] the personal and san lagos, nigeria, welcome to our new edition of echo offer. god, do you mind cause deployment disruption? there's no effect of life this week. we'll look through that to 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 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 and in the downtown house citizens sciences. helping reduce my reading plastic pollution. what big data on salt offer sales west coast home to one of the world's most expensive shellfish abalone? because the communities of bell 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'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 a snail with grazing habits, good health to keep the count equal system in balance,

and it's population is on the brink of extinction. due to poaching and illegal trade with asia, where it is a lucrative delicacy enduring by people are trying to provide alternatives and we're having 2 people on the farm currently in gordon's way to dive in school training to become from us. so 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 approaching process. samuel fund roy and is the c e o. during bank abalone from the company stripes to provide the sustainable and legal alternative growing to snail on land and in the ocean. an f alone snail takes up to 10 use to grow to size before being harvested and dried for experience. so the customer loves loans,

saves 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 trust. the idea is to keep local residents on board with sustainable fishing. if you steal from 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 shell, 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, it's dangerous, but what can we do when i saw a live system for, you know, families. i a good day, i can get maybe 2000 in the day even get maybe 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 at them. yeah, we don't. thank you. we don't like no one. we just they. why do we think it's going to sustain us? the poachers 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. the inforcement 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 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 close the monitoring before. marine biologist and south africa would be focusing on the fisheries or the ecosystem dynamics nova. i think practice 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 2000 hong kong dollars more than $200.00 euro for one single avenue. and so you won't find many local restaurants here with afternoon 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 sweet is a sandoval, we can get them in life and michelle, we can use the liver and the angels and everything. there's a 0 way we're going to face the avalon intel look natural glutamate. bring out the mama 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 funding practices that we do have high enjoying level that they do check on the doors and by avenue. and from me as 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 seems 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 other don't farm will grow and re invest in the community if it can develop the i think it would, it would out 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. us on this reports takes us to god the country generates a factory. $1100000.00 tons of plastic waste every year, but less than 10 percent of that is collected, recycled thoughts of pre to show config. but there is hope,

a number of prospects organizations coming together to see how they can help make waste management law or efficient beach clean up is going to be backbreaking 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 calculating all the items as a weapon to find back against the scourge. richmond kennedy kwaku organizes these cleanups often with volunteers from nearby communities. so when volunteers come around, community members speak to shoes. if the applicant shoes if applicant, plastics are frequently plot states. 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 put me through 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 city's 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 corner like drilling, that a big deal of the trash washes down to from, from beach, with plastic punches, working as they see the data collection of form of citizens science 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 power by stuff that's

a very good activity to pull its relevance visa. then once we have well situated onto the is the one that found what the police on what this polluted and also which brian this which campaign yourself, what you would say with the dates that cruise team can begin to 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 waves that is coming into the show. and then the ones that i received 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 to, thanks to groups like plastic bunch done, i became the 1st country to monitor or plastic debris density, according to us guidelines. the data, it's loaded onto a un platform containing the world's largest citizen science. thank us. and let's a officials of gunners, the testicle, service city f at this. very useful that when you're cleaning 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're doing to ourselves in terms of look for in the beaches to the extent that one it doesn't then coverage. tar isn't too. um, it's affects our project life. being able to present 15 pages is of course also find filled with gun a $1000000000.00 tory sector to quote. meanwhile, full citizens, scientists like richmond kennedy choir group, the hardware because only just begun once to see the data turns into meaningful change. now that we understand the problem to solve it, so we need so new stance, we need political will. we need investments. 2 it's a waste management system is 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 some acts 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 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 names is 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 funding mind read not only is the impact on the environment, cuts 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 every day life with a female minus and cut away. they're looking for icon,

the read. today they get lucky. how does uh, hu sheffield, i mean, i like working with shovel hammer and chisel because i realize 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 out a lot us and then we went to the southern the 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 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 the mining 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. and bob wear 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 it, just use my way rainwater clicks. they also need it for the vegetable garden condo next to the my my, my ad program. so when did set up, some of the vegetables also go to was assisting under privilege families. but i know that i pulled quite a suckle at 10 mit. 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, a vegetable, some is also sustainable. for example, the women use organic, fertilize a made from catwoman. you and the practice crop rotation to enrich the swell green vegetables such as kill onions and carrots. in the past, the main crop grown 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 goals mining here on the river. many legal goals minus a woman's name, i don't get up. i can see that the woman at some bunk why have comfortable knives? 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 of a necessity, at least via independence. as an african countries mining and zimbabwe is regulated by controls are irregular. very few mines in africa are sustainable. symbolic way 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 out and compared to them or does is out of dog. so it might not make is it's an issue of the other a challenge, even for the small scale jim,

my son buckley of co founder patrick's, they don't get regularly on site. after 5 years, you deposits 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. this is a woman already taking re not to ration measures and planting trees once a month. they spent at $1800.00 c. d. but many having survived the bananas and papayas have thrived and the woman will soon be harvesting them. the carving not 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 wayne 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 at the last shot bill, reach out as 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 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 ask me, 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 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 . 50 and i, but now our homes have power 24 hours a day. most people on the peninsula leave from fishing, like more harm to double up the hot tea 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, low. no. i have

a look though, 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 the driver comes to pick them up. but they have also had a look. i'm sending them to markets and expect to sell them for $30.00. each of those to 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 a muscle is now promoting one of these projects in the body bucks and these many

groups sold a 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 coolant system that we support the show on the for sure to people and nobody to handle it and do it on the night. it will supply the village with electricity. that's we have been used, you know, the but that was using, but there is no, it's even easier to get to water. and electric from draws water from this well on the mainland to the peninsula, where it's select cindy's for the tongue and is distributed to the household. no, the water comes right out of the top. i estimate the ultimate no longer need to

lift it all the way when she wants to cook for her family of 7. and what is the that? is it a 5 now 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, 1st 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 lifestyle is being installed and

a fast and efficient used 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 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 good will turn a profit quotes from us. so in 3 years time, we look at these training new sort of technicians for the company. such experts of identity needed us to money. a 48. he's increasing the counting solar energy at sundown, socializing outdoors used to come to an ending of a duck some but thanks to the electricity is towed into many groups, bit feet. there is no light up to duck and

a lot of activity. 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 out doors the way but shadowing. we are grateful to them, but we best that are not the solar project on update duct see, is something as an example to the region, 300 more households nearby and not getting the until the public, many 1000 from all. here are eco 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 would love hearing from you. for now it's good bye for me. crystal lens, illegals nigeria.
