inspiring story about survival, the home and get the tennis. i was the only one what lies look in nazi germany. watch now on youtube. dw documentary. the or all environment faces multiple stretch, most of them off or result of human activities that have a slightly damage in effect on the world around those. there are really no quick fixes, but the today's show will see how people find good ways to make the most awful bad situation of finding positives. i have crystal lens and legal spikes area. great to have you with us. and he has what's coming up. what the migratory birds got, tell us about climate change on the basic plans to be she can be turned into high

quality annual fee and ways to recycle used to move to our we stop the show in the democratic republic of congo. the country is the world's largest produce of minute rows, including cold birds, but a long way and demand is growing. the metal is used in the batteries that pos, smartphones, computers, and electric vehicles. so this is a highly profitable industry, but it's also male dominated. we've met to a group of women who are making sure they 2 benefits from the mining boom, and they are protecting the environment in the process of virginia dallas, fust enough and here in town got in the south of the dfcs. the geologist is
11:32 am
fascinated by this one underground and then, but it just visa didn't write, so we call them comp structure. this is the best way to despise hopefulness. occasions where you need a dialect, couldn't find a jump in the countries mining sector webpage. you dies, pursue human, not believes to scam in the rules of weight as a result, boom and constitute just the 5 percent of the walk for excluding them from the from the process we had them to compress. she copeland, cobalt to mind, makes an exception because it's a sunday in front of the access you what makes him up because she knows exactly where to dig to let me go. let me know how does this silver console the realization goes like this. if you follow it, if you want to find it, see how it dips. so that's where it's going to go. you can most of just follow the shape, see most up long. that's where it all starts. just like over there that new. that's
11:33 am
where you'll find a lot to come to the bottom of i don't say though, was ended and quibbled our oldest phone together in supp fluids. the d r c has around 6000000 tons of cobalt. more than half the wall. it's deposits. this mineral is an essential component with a bunch of these powering everything from smartphones and computers to an electric vehicle. but it's extraction also poses a switch to biodiversity, the dust from the countries a to single mines with 250000 people, walk with their bare hands, pollute the water and suffocates flora and phone. ready cobalt production has increased by 600 percent impact to yes, reaching 870000 tons in 2023 adults. one of 12500000 companies are employed in the mines. most of them run by multinational especially chinese companies. so an old
11:34 am
mine belongs to a local community, which gives you need as a member of the enter your remaining mining or wim, access to the site on this particular sunday. google tate marcella. the organizations president wanted the geologist to assess the mines impact on the environment the into your mission is to mitigate the environmental impact of the mining sector and to find income generating opportunities for women who suffer the most from the impact of the minerals are exhausted. all week long that such sites and others spend a whole day here. the work of lead must is of what of workers and other plastic weeks on site. as a member of when virginia de la has said to myself, the task of recycling this waste created by the mining the most, what i love, most of luck. my walk is how i help the environment on flipping. the biggest challenge is the level of necessary materials to impact the impacts we have in the
11:35 am
future generation, which he rates us to keep going to continue. because you need other light is most alone in how flight supported by remaining mining. the 27 year old has set up her own recycling business. she's high ups to young people and also has a team of for me to lead kids together. they transform plastic waste into baskets and useful gadgets for the mind. in the evening she says how inside, good evening everyone. welcome to web be not tonight to stop on the agenda these time creating networks and encouraging women to become interested in use by recycling waste. without access to mining jobs to a mr ton, a lack of opportunities into an assets. this is also the idea behind the women in mining organization. some we say to ourselves, if we can't find the jobs, there may be what we can do is recover everything. people to
11:36 am
a way to create jobs that's continued re income for household. and that's where the women are being mentored by us because of a 5 low we concrete examples, ecological chuckle, which the n g o trains women to produce from ash, sawdust, and claim. this environmental new friendly method enables women in rural areas where the mines have rendered land unfathomable to generate income. prior to this project, they used to cut down trees. do attached by the expansion of the mines, or the say, yeah, so saves a lot of boxes. we, we were vehicles benefits, it's good for us goods with thousands of these up because it to reduce the timber cutting email. i'm going to throw off at the end. we've just discovered that this m was in the us are put to lives of when it came to the will i be my ma'am, you awake with me atrium and reach also in and i have none of that mean to say to them, but they turn off and enable us to recover they have,
11:37 am
as we used to have them. so 1000. when does she about them? is a in a week with an ongoing vision in other lot, immediately sees another potential market. she suggests walking together with the women, they're having trouble selling their merchandise and do have customers. you're going to join forces foster going to test the quality of their product. because if you're going to send it to a customers, we need to be sure it's good. we'll need a few samples. it has to conform to a calculation is going funding funding time. and when we have such a site, we're proposing to our partners because yeah, i know, i know best in math and a rounding of hyundai is an appointment with another member of the women in mining group who has recently started producing conflicts, me a little, but she's with a c t's or gotten equate, did you need adela and the other women come to assess the young and to put news progress? and don't hesitate to give her a head to visit the site once
11:38 am
a week to start the saw him and check on the condition of the 3 come forth tips the visit brings but not so distant memories provisioning done a demo. so them, it was my 1st and up in your project, but it takes a lot of effort. so they will put me closer. you need the root, paula, the love, and the means of the month level to level it in my vision e adela encourages the young and toppling young and purposes to by have compost as okay. and what's eliza for customers? the women from we are dedicated to the cost and to helping each other a little more every day. for me, we had now to euro west sambas are getting hotter and hotter mainly as a result of human activities that ad seat trap in greenhouse gases to the optimist where it gets especially hot and cities compared to rural areas because groceries
11:39 am
and from land absolve keeps back to that cement breaks and all spots. so the obvious thing to do is bring us smarts and they tie into the city as possible on the start top has found uninventive way of the just that a holly building density and very little greenery. all right, perfect. and recipes, i hate islands and cities like london. but this wasn't the structure, could help relieve the 7 problem. it's called that i suppose to help cool down in the surroundings. that is a, it's basically a prompting structure and we're going to structure like a seasonable fonts. different kinds which are growing up to 10 minutes or within one year and providing shadow and a fresh breeze in the hot summer time,
11:40 am
especially in those areas of the cities which are affected the most by doping, roaming every few who typically call see dollars fast scrubbing plans such as morning, glory beans and hops can provide shade and help create a better micro climate in the immediate surroundings. and clearly, the structure isn't just the support for climbing plants. the structure is, in a way constructed like a st furniture. it's like a show that you put onto a place or on the street so the cars can stay. it's on the knees, the bicycle can go on and these people can still walk. but they can also sit and rest and move on to offer a lot of things that people can do without. but they have to immediately change the address. to the team, sit out to combine design with natural materials and functionality. the climbing plants don't just have to cool down heat on these timing tens are based on the
11:41 am
season. most likely what we do, an optimist that we have is the whole bio mass. and then, depending on the loca, infrastructure, we can find some of the time them and to comp, cost energy or is bio chop and but that's return the whole is how does the bio mass into the economic side? the creators of the say provides a quick solution to the oven heat 5 and problem 10 areas where trees come be prompted, but space is available. it was 1st shown in the 2024 london design festivals, and who knows? perhaps these structures will be popping up in other cities next summer and tell her about again, if you will also doing your bit, tell us about it. visit our website school, send us a tweet. tags doing yo bit. we share your stories. we have staying in
11:42 am
euro, but moving south to a remote island. that's a whole sport for bird migration. hotter temperatures are also heavy. the major effect on the migratory parsons of birds combined with factors such as sea level rise is becoming harder for them to nest. and find foods of that poses a server threats to the survival. what because birds are so sensitive to environmental conditions, they have a lot to teach scientists about climate change and how to adapt to it. of the these beds migrating south to escape the cold european winter. they were fuel and the greek island designed to keep there before crossing the mediterranean. and mister hara on that you any to africa, researches christmas. bob, do just is observing that migrate 3 beds on this stuff, move a key coordinates the annual bud census on the island, the excessive se, se with my visit on man, eh?
11:43 am
yeah, not zoom, that be fine. basically, we're collecting data to identify possible population changes in my grade to reboot on potential for us, for man, happiness. cutting this guy. characteristically, there was a trend that there are changes in both the numbers. and the times when the birds come side from was due to the effect of climate change. a couple yeah. local to fund amended schema decide that you research has one twin. this fund isn't how the creatures are adapting to changing conditions long that migrate from the roots on the same product here will impact samantha if we have less rain, which is house and i decided to go that will help me less greenery unless food, which will be problematic but uh supplement to better understand the changing phlegmatic conditions and how migrate. 3 patents of goods reflect them. researches use net to catch them along the rigs. at dorm kristoff and these colleagues on tangled goods from the nets for examination. it was
11:44 am
a sort of between the researches count them, measure them, waive them, and then don't 19.7 and 19.7, and then they put a ring on them. female black, i'm getting number is a pc. branding is really important because it's the only way that we can track the small songbirds where they're going and when they're coming back to our countries. and that's because they're too small to put a gps tag on, which is what we use for the larger birds to track their movements. so instead we put a band on, it has a 9 digit code, and when it gets caught by another research station, we can tell how long it took to get there. we can tell where they're traveling to. and also, even if that band doesn't get record, we get information on the number of speaking with data collected allows the
11:45 am
researches to determine the stability of the populations. and they can also keep a close eye on the arrival and departure time's of the birds. migratory species or either adapting to climate change and coming earlier or they're not and they're going to suffer because of it. and it's actually happening differently for different species. so we can tell if the species are coming earlier. if we've been doing these research stations for decades, and then we can prioritize our efforts to protect them and help their recovery in, in climate change and in the future. this which on, on the island is just the pit stops the birds that headed south in the spring. the researches will return to see how much conditions have changed. i'm how the tip adapted so they might help them on the journeys in years to come back to african. now international trade has been around for centuries. but
11:46 am
globalization has seen it go into overdrive. the upside. a lot more choice, inflexible price is, but the problem is shipping goods around the world takes heavy, told on the environment. so is it really both states in the end, on that support come from egypt, we meet a farmer who's found the clip alternative to important animal feeds and tens of problem into an opportunity. a solar is an invasive plant on the surface of it. that's hardly a good thing, but besides growing extremely quickly, as all it contains a lot of protein, which makes it ideal animal photo, it hasn't quote on as a feed cross so far. how many up they'll top up when you discover the plump by chance on youtube, while looking for cheaper ways of feeding his household animals type of thing to happen instead of that, if we use the results of feed capital, we can save an average of 60 to 70 percent of the feed costs for policy. you can
11:47 am
save an average of 40 to 60 percent based on the but i had the 16 for me. i'm gonna clean with a lot of has a lot of the 7 years ago. how many adults, how well began studying and then planting as all a defeat, his domestic life stopped with it. and soon after he started sending it to others. how many it has since decided to become a full time as all the farm on pioneer. he grades the plants and several large tanks with a total area of 300 square meters. how does about the middle class starts at about 7 years ago with a very small from now we have a number of us all the nurseries, something to fit me to spread the idea around agents helping to grow the plant on $358.00 because most egyptian farm is like abdullah ali, feed the animals on grain and slowly. but the country now imports about half of its grain and 90 percent of its story. and the war in ukraine has also further pushed
11:48 am
up prices. putting pressure on many farm is trying to find out what's going on. $300.00 kilos used to cost as almost nothing, but now they cost a lot. today's price is 15021800 years or less than most of i do. but my income has been increased, so i don't make a profit on that. as all is much cheaper. and currently the simple, if this war to nearby is all you need then is fun and sometimes some fos for us to act as a fertilizer. the aquatic fund was long cultivated elsewhere, for example, in peru or rain royce funds in china. but the technique is largely died out. mohammed of delta while is using modern means to spread the word in egypt. so i missed missed with a couple. it's in the 1st people where i didn't know what to do with my heart is in the 7th, and then i started using social media over i uploaded videos of my channels,
11:49 am
showing me is all a planned in poetry, eating it today over the, in that 9 detention and people came to see it for themselves. i showed them in the plant and the chickens. then people started to accept the idea and you up with a, a button. had been name is that it is time to produce some $600.00 kilos each day. and he has plenty of customers x, but say that the client can also play an important role in the environment. a computer if i want to provide its own nutrients. and i have both types of blue green algae grows with his own on that island. it absorbs nitrogen from me and transforms it into organic nitrogen that feeds the plum to look them when it also has. and so sine instead of look as antioxidants, and is a source of it to me in a which increases the plants nutrition value of it. then it comes to this, every rod, that's all, it has also cool eviction agricultural researches. these university graduates are
11:50 am
producing power that as on the feet and hope the plant and help pharmacy to become more independent in other ways. the we want to have a social and environmental engine. he cannot make impact. i teach farms within photo i london water with relatively high solemnity, levels of how to grow the is all a plant in middle of by the hospice from them. and they'll have a decent source of income for the for the ones that are in the meantime, mohammed upto co op has found another application for surfaces solar. it works well . there's no chemical road to long something so you've done the next cause buses and motor bikes. a bad for the environment, that's no citrate, that manufacturers and they do intensive damage. i me to as of couple of die resides on off howard, really 5 plus the feels by far the largest contribution to global warming and also used the engine oil but gets licked or dumped. is
11:51 am
a serious pull you sense what the kind that leads the recycled rece. these are dinning right from used oil. and this is more of this being go as a company kind of used to just to probably the oil. been simple as cuz you're giving get coffee to kind of give me these kind of don't to be a trickle black because it realized that it was the value book directly. we now recycle oil. we've learned it doesn't simply lose its usefulness because it becomes contaminated. we clean it up and restore it for reuse, allowing the cycle to continue. buck recycling with for use of pizza, of the method business. but it's what we think was bused up a small business, a 1000000 plus 3 people. the regular visits some 50 col, repair shops and compiler to collect used oil
11:52 am
your model with them to give away. when i draw used oil, for instance, from a diesel engine. i store it carefully and earn money from it to meet some of my other needs. i've had the mechanics used to just pull it away before they realized it was a valuable resource. we can't just throw away oil, the coolant or hydraulic fluids. right now, what do i walk i sent was this is vin gogh, now recycle someone's housing because of use for the month. that's and what of the chief contaminants seats? we use the fast. so the ava part then it's various give me cause like sofa to remove the dust and other parts because of the for you do you, are you doing? what can i do with this is what used oil looks like black, as you can see, when we can decide quoting, and this is what we recycle to achieve
11:53 am
a clearer product known as base oil. that's one of us. it's called the base for a reason based on the way many lubricants are made from this base oil. so now once used this clear, oil turns into dirty oil like that, which we recycle back into base. and the cycle continues to go to the site for the key to continue was recycling allows and to risk you some 80 percent of the o. if somebody could be a base for you, that's the gains we could use it. we've got in time single sales to car repair, shops in combining the 20 percent that's left over is peach black. it's between i do for producing as far as between us supplies, the number of businesses in the company to with the product leading to price include for him and for the environment in many african countries. useful, or i think just being some big discarded producing. so you don't, it probably gets to what like victoria is not from compiler
11:54 am
and this is where most of the country is drinking. what comes from much of both in charge, from the sea to every major problem here of the oil. pollution is clearly visible. the drainage system is also blighted in recent, she has been mention of cost for preparing drinking water has doubled to about 2200000000, uganda shillings. that's around $570000.00 us a month. so what i suppose is getting increasingly for you to getting import polluted by the storm that i'm getting polluted by pilot disposable or you so so polluted by industrial with the average cost, chemical cost of what to do more to use the 2300000000 every month because a very, very high cost and find a lot better had not to consummate disclose to the people. each fluid change generate some highly tubs of used oil. and that's 10.10 minutes. about 3700000
11:55 am
liters of fresh water. according to the united states environmental protection agency. so if we were site could lead to pounds, we divide when we went. mechanics used to discard oil without thinking about it, but i'm glad they no longer do it helps protect the environment. i also created jobs by hiring people to collect the oil from various sources and my product directly benefits the same people who supply the used oil. yeah, i bought it for you. that's all for today. i would love to hear what you think about the show. so feel free to reach out to us on a cool a d, w dot com. you can also find voice virus star is by searching for eco africa online . thanks for watching for now. it's good bye from the crystal lens. illegals, nigeria, see you next time or the
