as we say there is never giving up every weekend on d w. the climate is changing primarily due to the binding the force. it feels like cool oil and gas heating all free car. we're already seeing an increase in each weighs heavy, rain flooding and drought. welcome to a new patient of eco africa on this week. so we will the looking at ways we can best respond to extreme web conditions. i'm present lamps and legal slides area, and i'm being joined by my colleague, my la mobile calm day, who's been sucka. thank you, chris and the hello from me to now let's take

a look at what's coming up on today's show. keeping up with canals and molly to reduce blood damage, plastic waste collection as a business opportunity for refugees in uganda. and an early warning system for forest fires in tunisia to let's see of a country that has been battling drugs for yes, the desperate deep dry conditions have let them increase it. bush fires which have a devastating impact on the environment. the damage is also financial because farmers in fl. 2 as areas lose their livelihoods, so what can be done to protect them against the threats of fire? it looks like a hidden camera for i'm serving wild life, but it's actually much more sophisticated. nod your softly and his team are hanging up 10 devices with cameras that can detect fires early on. over 300, hector is

a forest, are being monitored into nature as northern ross jebel area is today. we're using artificial intelligence as a sensor. it can detect active sources of fire and predict future ones too. and that was built in a function that is similar to the human eye. it continuously monitors the area and as soon as a detect the source of fire, the system alerts the relevant authorities directly. tabatha shot the select the multiple subunits, but right now it's still in the test phase. so the information is only sent to the start out. with special ed, i have only so the sensor as enable us to monitor the condition of the forest and track its development throughout the year ended on the hub of the key. and when making this means we can create an intelligent map of the forest, showing which areas have a high fire risk where plants and trees are especially dry. sam,

what's the audi mean and just said tanisha is getting less rain overall and longer periods of drought in the last decade, the amount of land scorched by fire was nearly 20 times higher than normal around a 3rd of the country is still forested. and about a 1000000 people leaving the forest right now they and local foresters are just left to fight fires as they occur volt, volt officials that the ministry of agriculture hope the i fire protection system can provide more protection in the future, especially as the forest are of major importance to tanisha. however, this, when you know how to use the forest as a real, a asset for us to do both nationally and economically, but also socially and environmental terms. so this is with a 1000000 people living in this eco system. it's our responsibility to guarantee

them a safe place to live with the fraud home, little flags for that. and if i still have the data from the cameras is analyzed at the startups office in missouri to the company is also working on the next step. a system to quickly inform foresters of any fires or by the and filled with those. and we're currently in the process of developing a mobile app to simplify the work of the foresters at our head office. we'll put the latest information directly into the app, which the foresters can then access either on their computer or cell phone. okay, so with stuff or what's going on and moms and the big some will be small, the work to protect the remaining forest. others are focused on replacing what's been lost since 2017. the association lisa me to kept has been planting trees. and the northern regions of calf is that glen engine. tuba, where there have been many fires. the volunteers, plant care of trees is the air resilience and require little water

for a st. research are um done. how need halsy is urging the authorities to support these initiatives. that's cool. and the way that we are encouraging the forestry administration to plant more care of trees to re forest these areas, these trees are important for the environment. they're heating resistance and good from the economy to them about that should be look at the office at the moment, much. but right now, the forestry department is more focused on the new a i project. it's not just about reacting to fires more quickly, but also identifying potential sources of fire before they start to do this. it incorporates media, logical data, and then calculates which areas are especially at risk. so that the full committee most as an in areas where you have the strong winds that see it on. we also look at how dry inflammable the conditions are that you media days isn't

necessarily. but i mean, we then analyze these parameters to determine whether it's a risk area or not. see this go from amazon. edy's kid is, or is it the kind of the money i had the the pilot project, but the forestry department is still in its infancy. if it's successful, the authorities hope to equip larger forest areas with the sensors. this would make the ranges work easier and protect the forest in the long term. so, i'm next to pull. it takes us to molly, which was hot feet bound, usually heavy rainfall in late students, $24.00 in the capital. but marco, a group of young active is mobilized to cope with the fact of the extreme weather on the board sucks. devastation again. time for this weeks doing your bit it's hot it's thinks and the task feels almost impossible. for hours on end,

these 15 young people have been toiling away to help clean up the gutters and drains and telephone call. roy districts on the outskirts of summer, co located on the new shy river. the philosophy of n g, a. the african initiative, the integrated development is with actions speak louder than what we believe us. as others followed our example. we would have fall fewer problems associated with the climate change, including less floating it was without campaign. we also want to prevent the use of plastic bags that come on, which must hit the pollute the environment. and good luck with that. if it was only a lot 40, certainly loved it on the team is highly motivated on the time and this is what it looked like had just a few months previously. finally, come, experience the west flooding it has seen in decades will do 70. people died around

a 150, were injured, more than 250000 people of the hires. thousands of livelihoods were destroyed. more a color pipe was among those affected. if you have a wedding at tide, you, the situation was terrible and it still is either i can see the state of my house within the time. i used to live here with my family, but the house, cologne's, an apple that i didn't know where to go. typical westdale suffering badly. oh, clearing away the dots cloaking up the suicide is one thing, which is not what the young activists did the gulf coast which slosik on the soonest the next spring came. they also collect trash and take it to the cities, not just rubbish stuff. i hope to separate that one. if any of them i'm wondering what we're doing is timing the trash into cash. we can use it to invest in something for the neighborhood. i'm going back to the

community for the defense, for example, we can buy pump a waste of money to a community from which we can then use to help tackle problems and then the them filled out for me to for, for plastic waste is a huge problem. across the continent and especially in low income communities, one solution is to see the plastic plague, also source of income on extra pool. it takes us to a refugee camp in uganda, where people are tenants, fresh into cash improvements that collect and waste can be a part of life. you know, there could you come in, you've gone is anything but easy but don't risk of you does not fall in the way to on money collecting plastic bottles. the company is lead touch with them, including the small patch of land where she grows her vegetables. she sells the plastic west to a recycling company, who was immortal. on this topic,

about $24.00 euros a month. a cool me 5 by a waste to stick bag sima. he said, well, maybe i get 20 for you or i mean, but it has to be heavy duty is covered up flood war to not keep a provenance in democratic republic of congo. about 80 years ago. she's one of the about 1700000 refugees living in uganda most come from neighboring thoughts done the democratic republic of congo and broom, the countries that have suffered under conflict and civil war. as a result, you've done that is home to the largest surface, the population in africa meeting their daily needs. these a huge challenge now, duties of you guys to move into to young body. if you do, you settlement in west and you're going to use the west collection point close to her from her garden. the payment arrives. those points on her mobile account. she

can use them to make purchases and shops or get a cash disbursement. the did the come uh bus to get these people bring more plastics. the tubs. so environment. you know, the plastic chunk, the environment. tell you my best of the plastic. this was the sort of fatality, the so you lose is it's $42.00. if we continue to collect plastic decided we gain it's facility. you know, normally what the problem was already turning plastic recycling into a business. that was the idea of vent to put in your front. can you shop? he and his team also developed the of which went online a year ago in 2 locations in the city of dean j and he's done uganda. and he, uh either if he comes in west of the country and full equal plus type, this is just the beginning. we think it's possible to, to hall. but to this more than the median refugees engage in recycling as a business. and i need

a small de la indeed from plastics recycling. quite clearly the environment. if we can do that, then we assure that we are heating the triple bottom line, which is the people planet and, and personality. the was plastic has been brought from the come to the companies, 53, the come products. this is where the plastic it's shredded and melted and then turned into roofing tiles las to the company recycled more than half a medium kilo swath of plastic bottles. that's a lot for a small company, but it's very mex, a dent in the roughly 220000 tons of plastic waste. that's produced every in the country. so far that you've done and government hasn't come up with a plan to reduce plastic use. and there is no national recycling system to the dismay of environmental experts. you'll do that on searching. i think it is around less than 3 percent of the plastics are being recycled and

the rest is being displayed is being thrown into the environment. as a result, plastic waste is a problem across the country. it's mainly local organizations that are trying to stem the tide of this young, bloody lessons, you come to the n g. okay. international brooks echo plus tile on board to help with the plastic recycling. what is get involved in the company? no more than 1000 refugees, i've taken part in the trash for caution program. the n g u, i was also noticed that the program is making a difference. we have to do with the nearest ups when such intense or plastic corrected or by the video over the last 3 months. that is a lot in terms of their voice, you know, toner, plastic being corrected in terms of removing it from the environment. but you're looking out to and every time that we have you visited for their critics. as for the aggregate, as for the plastic recycle,

as for those who are picking press because the source of income with the us any incentive more plastic waste is now being collected for recycling. if you don't have a front can with dish up, pays a visit to, to young body is us to show how the up, what form. so many refugees here, the ability to on a small income mix like huge difference. and of course the, in this kind of, most of us a single mother, we no longer with a whole bunch of them is what they abandoned us with the children's does yet. but this business has helped us stuff because we have something to do every morning who from can, will you show and doty is viewed, i have both inbox and a new part and it's paying off the entropy and you guys know, getting in touch with the organization so that he can launch is program even more if he comes where i had a loan going off now to sweden. it's capital stucco belongs to a series of islands. so the water waste ever weighing the cd. but the canals built

in the course of his fee for the benefits of the population prevented the fish in the water from being able to move freely. now the city has a new 1st stuck to feature that these a lot more fish, frankly, of the stock homes transport system now has a roof reserved. so we, so fish, lots of cities have lanes for bicycles or taxi's for the purpose built fish tunnel that could be assessed is designed to allow, we could swim is like 11 touch to migrate freely from the baltic sea coast to the east of stockholm and lake nailer and then the west a system of locks in the city center is being completely over hold. the old network kept how many fish the seats, not anymore. no more. you have to kind of talk to fish that come jump, haven't been able to get through the system as a result or a fish life in like manner and was pretty well inside it. but with new fish now

being brought in to biological diversity has increased. so we can insure the regrade, so fees, fish, the cost of x, and it's automatic piece. going to have think of what was not possible for almost 400 years due to the expansion of the lock system is now possible. again, fish bases that don't co well with strong currents, can navigate the north river completely stress free. so none of the tunnel is lit up by day to mimic natural conditions are all on the face and would mean side quite a bit to spend a little bit further than swim on the other side. but it looks, i see more of a camera monitors which species passed by. this also has been an unexpected visit to the total is popular that are truly, there's been an incredible amount of fish on the off to that of swamp consoles. we think it's the same alter that, keeps returning. thank you. so maybe it's like

a smorgasbord for the ulta offerings, alicia's face to go a few scope alpha phones protect the fish tunnel from nadia hunting like seals. so the combs aquarian, commuters can now navigate the city without native disaster of the worst thing in europe on next to 4th. if animals could tool, what would they say? and if you could have a chat with any creature in the world, even one that no longer exist, which would it be? i beds, i would love to talk to a well, or a cow. well, a reason that because of vision in cambridge, england allowed visitors to do exactly just that a mamma exchange for about 4000 years, the quota, a zebra relative, also long gone as, as the test medium wolf. where do they live and above all minded, the species die out at the zoology museum in cambridge recently,

you could just ask them in person like this, please don't over and you're guaranteed an answer scottish i was wondering if you could tell us how you became extinct the world we knew with a specific ecosystem is no longer the sea. life on bodies just was i didn't come to the late 15 hundreds. when humans arrived with settlers and sailors, the conversations were made possible with the help of a honey visitors received the right answers to their questions by an app. imagine this in this way, they can ask whatever they like. and that's really, really value. but i think like they can have an actual conversation with the animal with a specimen. and i think brings to life in a really different way than i normally them use index. it might silence skeletons, finding a voice, closeness and emotions instead of comb drive. fact that was the idea behind this experiment, as well as

a bit of humor. could you tell us what your favorite piece of music music it might be. we done to the rhythm of the rustling names of the generals way of the bomb phones and the distance calls a fellow visitors were able to interview a total of 13 different species and the museum including some that are not yet extinct. a fin? well, for example, or a cockroach, the animals could even a, down to the questionnaires, individual background. people can people tell, tell the animal age, they also speak spots in a kind of age, age appropriate level. it speaks in, in 20 different languages. so you can, yeah, whoever you are, you can coming off of your questions, you can type in your questions or you can use voice. so it's yeah, sorry, english. the experiment lasted a month and it's now being evaluated. but one thing already seems clear

a i can make an important contribution to better understanding animals and their habitats now to gone to making space full. farmland is a key drive all the deforestation, but it's not the only one illegal sales of protect the tim, but can be a community to sole source of income. once a pioneer in far as conservation government has lost most of its woodlands. now sustainable forestry advocates for raising local peoples awareness about the natural results. this theme of the crime, with a fair treatise, because secretly chirping down trees. but with the increased are we given in inquiry and frank at the d wants to protect a gun. it's 1st and they've succeeded here in the restaurant to region. people came to mind illegal and it's a report from one of the monitors that i truly sports about. we spoken them for

mining and really realized that this mining activity let me know i was commission, knew nothing about it. so when we got to the north commission involved the i truly did, they needed a spot from them and this came to a halt. so we could see that it's only a portion that's what destroyed and they have remains as through day, so at least, oh, the lights are very, very useful. frank, i didn't live close by. back then. here is the alone or an up on the cell phone. let scheme report illegal logging and for as far as the report is sent directly to the headquarters of civic responses, gonna be and you started the monitoring program. it's and then informs the authorities so that they can respond to direct to me is this all this into pieces already to it has to interpret, since we have the web and stuff. isn't that a bit more about the deputies? the mobile interface is basically for reporting for as,

as the boxes and that is used as a one to community. i'm one of those use jo, a 60 also lives in the restaurant to region in dev. wildwood. yeah. community not far from the kind of the forest. he grew up here and he and his family from the forest where they also grow vegetables and pump oil trees. yeah, by how long you will put it some more familiar to me. no more. we used to be able to hunt and get onto my production. we saw the destruction of our forest have deprived as of all of these things. these have had and it gets even effect, like when a livelihood your reading doesn't to used to be a problem either. but now there is hardly enough reading for across or below, but people are cutting the trees with chainsaws. many of them to make chuckle. yeah . so we are really suffering will you think? i might, you know, rubin will hop high on what to be or turn them on. he has joins deforest,

conservation is to try to put a stop to read the, i think the civic response, guidance monthly meetings. and i mean, the group is not active throughout the country, it's for risk conservation areas. i'm given we in front of id, i always joining the new. com is who lived near the woods. the explain how the up wakes and talk about what those each person can do to protect it. therefore reyes as a young with a, a cartoon on normal by boston. a truck is how to report these incidents. there was a significant reduction in some of these and they get different human activities in this community. it would say you're bored to turn off work on such measures along or if i do, you, as gunner continues to lose for us, car, the food and agricultural organization. as a estimates the west african country has the most around 20 percent of its forest areas. in the last 20 years, when you talk about the regulatory agencies like the 1st of the commission,

you know, they have some limitations. for example, in terms of logistics to even be able to monita, what we're on into for is the 1st is that some areas have to be closed. i says suited for as gods ring supervisors and other offices. somebody forced to commission the have these telling use of movement. the non governmental organizations could become key to protecting the firm, raised the rich patch, which these things used or key reduce. and then the task also increased co minutes. his interest or willingness to protect for us is a cause to disposes community's attention that would be drawn to serious of benefits. that's the defensive. i mean, d yeah, i see. well, definitely keep campaigning to save the trees. after all, he and his family only have these one forest from which to feed themselves. as for

everyone who lives near a gun is woodlands, protecting the forest also secures the own lives. so that's the, it's for today. so what did you think of aids? we love hearing from you. you can write to us at eco, a dw dot com, and you can find more reports, a box of nobility on that continent and beyond, by searching for eco africa online. i have chris that loves illegals. nigeria. bye for now. thanks, chris. have good buy from me to my let me look one day in lou saca bags for watching. i hope i have given you something to think about and that you will join us here again on echo africa for more inspiring environment stories next week. so you then the,

the, the, as african americans return to dawn, they price out below goals. what does that integration look like? your presence is actually creating a problem for us and we got it. we came to a contract. so the, the amount of money that you guys think we have, at least we can test conversations and honest on, says lead to greater understanding this 77 percent in 30 minutes on the w, the

ceiling. not say the way growing up in a country with no prospects. because you don't boss in 2019 the full, the russian invasion, the 5 young people can dream vacation to the human. they is change them on the we will not say the way started february 14th on dw,

the the man of the, [000:00:00;00] the

old. we can be the generation, the ends, it for good. malaria must die. so millions can live the this is the w news live from the israel allows displaced palestinians to return to northern gauze after the 1st time, you know, over the 10s of thousands of civilians had forgotten the journey officer, a breakthrough and negotiations between israel and the mill within groups says they will release more is ready civilian hostages. by the end of this week, also coming up, living on the credits to extend the deadline for his ride the troops to leave the set hours before the agreement. deadly classes broke out between his wherever he forces and residents trying to return to the hunt for faults of panic in the
