it depends on their ability to find the solution, the that's all for this episode of business beyond if you'd like to see more from us, check out our playlist in the description. thanks a lot for watching until the next time. take care the a lot of them said that nature knows best we're about to hear from a range of people who are figure that out and they're turning to nature well, solutions not in the process that transforming problems into opportunities. well, welcome to echo africa. i muller mama coordinate in lieu, soc, has them the most cost and they goes by jerry, what my colleague chris ellen gives us a low down. and so what's the come in today's show? hi, chris. hi. well, i'm a great to see you again. oh,

well welcome from me to coming up on today's show that you done done from a great a natural what kind of to you to plastic about the environment, the least in south africa and show of both the nations bird life when father goes right and planting trees to come back to rise in temperatures and a lot of rain for in the german capital. but 1st, the forest, they shut it off with kaiser kerry at twice the average global rate. so we know what we need to do. that is right. plant a tree, we start the showing molly, where would meet all your old on top of your will put this principles, are the hawk of a business. she has come back in environmental degradation in the region that's as green risk of turn into deserts. and then par, incomplete is the same type one woman, one tree,

one goal direct here to show what do we just planting maureen, does in money in one of the world's most read and valuable regions? this saw help the young by the end trip and know his of the shows plus the for my biggest goal is to get to new young trees planted in the cycle. in modeling. what i love most is working with the women and young people in the joy on their faces. when we go to bite them, maureen goes awful. i still am waiting guy that goes my motivation is getting up every day in knowing that everything we do contribute to creating a positive economy, environmental and social impact. in this, i hear you on the side rookie i to, to hurry, leaves nothing to chance, especially choosing the right spot for this. something that, that matters to say. the 1st thing we do is to prepare the ground and make sure

it's no troll key. because maureen goods reach deep into the soil in drugs which stockton was growing or anything, not a lot of crafts launching the maureen does, is only to start. the next step is making sure they grow and flourish. so rookie, i to trouble re only use is natural fit places, and mix sure that each little trees planted in a place with these awards associated by so because to be easy gated during the dry season trawler is an m, b, a in management. but for the project to work, she needs help she and least the support of women's groups explaining to them that maureen guy has to come home, excited that she has managed to mobilize local communities and establish an efficient protection chain. so i, i think what i put a laptop as 3 to face months of to plenty we, we tend to the women to help them have system moving us needs flowers in seats for

the god, the trees sometimes with them in insured china and pete. the lead soon washed them and dried them if possible, then they sell as i the fresh needs land or dried leaves, sylvia and bundle. se size to see she. the money is roughly half does it? it is $112.00 classified forest covering almost $1850000.00 heck to that's less than one percent of the countries area. even this far is disappearing mainly because of the test tour. oh no. my diesel and logging to meet the energy needs of the growing population. rookie i to show is tied into a key, and it was the day that she 1st discovered the potential of moving the trees back home. she began exploring ways to fight the effects of city for cation in climate change. that's would also give people economic benefits realizing that's maureen

goal was a promising solution. she developed a business idea, rookie child who was able to grab a valuable experience in on the platform for women, entropy noise in the company told them, i call you said i as well. so that was all the products that i've come to, the trade for you to see was for you to share knowledge with the putting those in entropy knows and to find out more about people working in the environmental seek to connect them such as marketing, production and packaging specialist groups, yogic salary has 510 minute employees working for her. it has small fixing using the machinery she invested in the process of moving the leaves into powder and into a range of products. maureen is in high demand, is a debt re supplement that helps regulate blood sugar levels conditional in blood pressure. the final step is distribution. no, i found it on the for the system to make all the products available. if,

when molly and beyond, we work with several distribution and these distributions take also our cheese power to soft oil, antony's and market them on the right bank of the new chevy button. but my quotes so that our products are available in photos at the c team volt of the young entropy, know his need a name for herself, be on monday. she's received a number of awards for her with combating deforestation. but these one, she's particularly proud of. she proudly presented to us either so this i think that the city can lose that. look, this mackey said that equipment is also the one that meant most to us was the united nations recognition of a fight against the certification is a lend you. we received this distinction at the united nations headquarters in born . when is your own home?

why does your uh, born, oh, see as dude and as soon as you need such bonus, what you've dates, real key, i to trial worry to pass on a enthusiasm and expertise to as many women as possible with the aim of to me. the threat of to certification facing money into an opportunity to and post during hope and resilience in the process. what an inspiration, the woman we wish, so all the best. but we stay on the subject of trees. but now we crossed through europe and the german capital berlin. it's actually one of your dream is cities, but even the rising temperatures, reduce rain full and more and more new buildings means that the trees to, to cover is disappearing. so let's see what a floor it is and the public a doing about it. this field maple tree and the finishing touch would have been huff scott, which is abundant with insect to a cease and retreats for the year in spend out on the west. and i to funding

the fields maple was a gift from little little slower cheese as positive. it's up in climate trees campaign. along with that and even gotten, we felt the good you could do with another tree, make it even greener. and we'd like to the idea of an oven climate tree that it would have a new home here in the past. and so we decided to apply because we, so we'd love to have one of those trees. and oh god again, this one's all my totals. i'm gotten home the oven climate trees campaign is now entering. it's 3rd year over a 3 day period. it's drive a distribute service 70 specimens around spend though. it's how drug applications were open to all those who owned property here and who were committed to looking off to the tree from private individuals to schools. sports clubs and building management companies to campaign was the idea of quote,

a cultural engineer. but typically it's monday, she was concerned about temperatures in berlin, having whizzing by one full degree celsius over the past 150 is what is that there is we definitely plan on seeing new trees is a vital that bio mass means that they also improve quality of life, especially in cities on experience, they offer shades and have a cooling effect, and they provide a habitat to bugs an insect to approve it. on one guy. yeah, the really, really important that we should be, especially in central areas when it comes to preventing cities from teaching up, step of i have nothing to speak to miss l type. worldwide cities may comp just 2 percent of the plants land surface. and yet that home to some 10000000000 trees, one in 6 trees species are found in oven areas where the subject to damage from drought, stress, and vandalism. others have failed to make way for roads. an apartment brooks.

p a on the northern outskirts of berlin, volunteers from a tree planting association. regularly attempt to be impossible for 10 years now. they've been planting trees. informa sewage fields. some important for mike cox is the local forest world, and he's a freak visit. tough copy to share his expertise on issues like soil degradation. in the late 19th century, the area became a dumping ground for sewage from across the north of berlin, and remained so 5 for a 100 years young emanuel. there's still a certain amount of contamination from cadmium labs and compa ends english. so if you walk through these old sewage fields, you'll see completely barriers, but there's not even gras square like them. but i think that's due to excessive sewage of the most serious problem is water retention capacity. so the trees and shrubs being planted here today need to be handy, go willows,

european white homes and check countries manage with relatively little volta. some of them are treated to a quick boss before hand in a nutrient rich out the solution of the best in itself. so would not be enough to insure a healthy stop for the saplings like the bottom of the why are we monitor our trees for 3 years? sometimes the gras squared is really high in the summer savannah style, putting the stop things in the shade and also competing for the same move to the shop. so we cut that down on. ready the for us to helps by bringing in huge tanks of food to other people come we then set the house into the woods in teams which can look pretty funny us with watering cans in the forest. but it's really was the effect of the whole fucking and it would have been huff scott in the fields. maple tree takes pride of place. it survived its tough uh, 3 years. so it should now be out of the woods. and it can hopefully forward to

another 200, sometimes the color, bosh all bought to gorge has many uses. it's still really eaten but, but more often used to make musical instruments, even hots and the storage containers. not one pharma in uganda realized this traditional crop could also help solve a modem problem. and is the idea is got, you don't have the 6 doing your bits a color busch gardens, south, west of compiler. the atmosphere here is almost magical. farmer godfrey k, gloria fills the gourds as a natural alternative to plastic containers and bottles. the release the river is just one example of how plastic pollutes the environment and threatens bio

diversity. more and more people are realizing the plastic waste is a huge problem. this is now i know, fortunately this is a new market. there's something new on market. this one has added on our income after harvesting, the guards are dried and then hollowed out. it's important to farmer t gloria that nothing goes to waste. what comes out as a way to do that is seeds that comes from insight? no, that's fee before that peaks that's kind of produced. some of would do uh, feedback on some of the re tell me where the peaks, so they kind of still get something that's now what you say you put in there with. so you see now there is nothing we can do with color bus are traditionally used as a vessel for storing dairy products and other things. street vendor, christine, i'm hung a, has seen an increase in sales data. and believe me, that there's

a lot of demand for these natural products. and so i've started growing the myself . that was the color bush fan. martine oguao says the best thing is that these containers are biodegradable. it does not say, do you fix on the environment where you dispose of does a menu, but compared to the bottles they were plastic. but those that we pick what and use out of it. you will through the to become problem to, to invite them in. uganda still produces some 600 tons of plastic waste every day. and just 6 percent of it is collected. godfrey korea hopes his calabash can be part of a much needed change for you event. which one over that to be split? it is. oh boy you get is. it's bev up to can move found in many parts of africa. so many they have a deep spiritual significance, so they often are focal point for gatherings. they have fruits, seeds, and leaves also serve as a source of healthy food. but tragically,

climate change is having a devastating impact on bell labs. and that's not the only threat they face. we have to kenya. now we're environmental is a working to rescue this beautiful tree. a ball bub tree can store itself from allowing me to survive long periods of ground. for centuries, the so called cheese will for life play the key role with the new village communities along the canyon coast. now through the threatened by kindly cheese and also the last year, each valve up to full several centuries. we exported to georgia for planting the pump beauty by former georgia and prime minister. this led to public outcry in can you how'd you come to approach something that there's more than 20300? yes, i'm ticket that way. what are you up to on the 2nd to us, you were hired to write down, grew up here on the coast. you can leave. because imagine

a life without bo bugs. all the trees, in particular, the late, i mean, fortune to rule for the music in the community. this dream is several 100 years old . it has spiritual significance for local people. if we have drought, if we have a lot of it, these will come on the mac address on the above up see as big as this one. it is one very important element as a faith symbol, a place where we communicate to environmental activities ethic chelsea is on the mission to protect bob up trees for years using fighting to ensure the survive. all of that got is call it the chief of lice because one of the 3 is maybe see not the lives i usually for the fall. and that is this. everything on that tree is useful on something else. it has lived it just on ages.

hopefully, tulsa is sure that the a be exported. well, he says the real problem is form is an investors son involved, but cheese along the coast to make room for culture and construction. depending on the size, if sales tree comes such between the equivalent of 502-1100 euro's good money for a local phone, but a living tree can and the form of formal it's which contains a large range of vitamins and minerals in powder full, it's in high demand, international, the super from the, from itself. so popular game, can you, betsy cods, what can you, me as a teacher and sells them on the side that funds? how an equivalent of $69.00 euros per month. a considerable boost to have a teaching salary of 200. you lose a little cooler level by the food and also opportunity as for earning money to me,

i mean to get too much of the page. i don't think the little money that we are given for cutting down a tree cut in any way compared to the benefits we gain from it. you know, even if i had done was, it's not part of the whole ethic to see also visit schools into the fee. to raise awareness about the trees, i'm only giving people, he tells them about the significance with a new coat ecosystem, and choose how to plant them corrected. b, a forecasting, planting. 1000000 for trees and funded sourcing. can you pick county what a future that? oh schools in the county have foot or cherry. it's a non business brand, which the activities is pursuing with determination. together with students, he's planted more than $200000.00 trees. so far. have you ever heard of the green, green di, lima? well, here as an example,

south africa has been struggling with the energy crisis for decades, and reducing is reliance on fossil fuels and that's a good thing for wind farms can impacts wild life. so how can we resolve the conflict? winter park east climate friendly bleeds can be deadly to birds such as the cape culture and the black harriett south. because rarest, endemic bird of pre it's more racial motus job to protect than the former teaching assistant has retrained on his now employed of excel. so wind farm, located about 100 kilometers east of cape town. the 32.5 mega watts wind projects generates enough electricity to power about 16000 households. as one of 9 biodiversity money to is maricia march and scans the landscape for birds. if one approaches, she makes

a phone call to get the nearby turbine to shut down. the timing depends on the species. for the black a, it must be talking to me this before we go in must be talking to meet those for us to do over there. so they don't buy it. they can be on stand by when it's coming near the domain on collaborate that we put the over 80 percent of south africa's electricity still comes from coal fired stations. much of this infrastructure is dilapidated. a frequent power outages to stream on the economy and make every day life more difficult. south africa now has about 1000 wind turbines intended to provide more and cleaner energy. but that comes at the price. this squared, which presumably flew into a turbine tower, is one casualty bird. loss of africa has been collecting data on the of the,

the surveys for fatalities of every single wind farm. and there's about 32 operational wind farms. as we speaking 2020 full end of 2024 now. and we know that they kill a lot of the uh, the, the average is about $4.00 to $5.00 birds per turbine per year across all of those $32.00 wind farms. back to my wish, i'm watching issue sounds, the alarm the turbine easily switched over briefly. once the bread has passed, operations then resumed again. as this shuts down on you month program has been running for 5 years with almost no loss in energy production. no one else has really done anything like this before. so we faxed in high quite a high percentage and we've been very pleasantly surprised at how this will affect that affects the bottom line. essentially there's less than one percent revenue loss as a result of running this program to the new wind farms have to meet the strict

environmental standards, the excel. so a wind farm is near black. how are we a breeding sites today, getting it built would be challenging due to the mitigation measures that have to be put in place. conservationist. odette smith welcomes efforts to reduce bread fatalities but says more needs to be done. the wind farm has and started with a fantastic program called shut down on demand, which they are implementing. and they are probably implementing it better than any other one from in the country. but the spot that's because heavy is relatively small bit and, and the system relies on human beings who do make mistakes and do overlook things. sometimes the beds heavy as are still getting killed for and you has equipped approximately 20 birds with gps truck has allowing them to follow the birds route and locate nesting sites the end you hope it's findings and recommendations can

play a role in decisions about where new wind farms built at the moment when, where we have trucks, but it's, it's been incredibly useful already where there is a wind farm application or an approval for a wind farm. so as to show way they may be high risk because of just the pest fires and packing of the bits that are coming out of this particular colony demoya . and did you wind from 120 kilometers? no of cape town is traveling a different approach to bird protection on each of the following turbines, where the most broad collisions occur. red stripes have been added to one router, blake. this was done at the cost of $120000.00. but experts rob simmons set up the pilot project, it takes into account the unusual vision of birds of pre staple,

very low contrast ability is 10 times poor, then then you and i. so if you may, if you make it color the raptors are going to see it from a long way off. and if you make it to a high contrast, also they going to see it. and it does seem to be working here. 5 days a week. teams visit the turbines to look for carcasses. bills with red bleeds, they don't find any casualties. the really good news is from this hope field, when from that in 19 months post treatment, we have managed to reduce to pay tell it to you right to 0. so the no more, no more right to this and it was 7 before we started in 2 years and 0 cents despite the fact they're still right to is around back of the excel. so we need from one, but species is benefiting especially from the monitoring. so we see it as highly effective. so the program essentially initially was designed primarily for k fulcher and we've seen a 100 percent effective in. in other words,

we have had no cape felt if it shows he's. kara takes also as a result of implementing the program. you might stop by us for more. we sure martin, she says that nature didn't use to mean so much to her, but watching the birds has told her to appreciate the painting as that's the most important point. we can all learn to appreciate they to stop and look enough to beautiful planet is up to say good bye. now ive christa lives illegals by jerry. yeah. if you'd like to watch more live 10 stories, just search for eco offer go like your flight off post of content for buffer go. and the does good buy from me, mama condo in the soccer. we hope you have enjoyed the show. and if anything has inspired you to let us know. 2 at echo at dw dot com, we love hearing from you. so i'll see you next time,
