we ask why? because education makes the world make up your own mind. made for mines the how the you climb the monkey. one step of the time, making all well, the better plays might seem like a huge task. well, we're about to see how ordinary people can make a difference. others by others to join a welcome to eco africa. i'm present lives in lagos, nigeria, and with me from the suck is of the is my wonderful colleagues, beloved mom because hello everyone and welcome is great to have you.

here's what we've got coming up on today's show women and goes unite to tackle the climate crisis. and you've gone to the fisherman in egypt to a casting the nets, wida and the amazing power of something called a pocket forest. when i had to uganda with climate as of those like floods and slides, that happening more and more often who is affected by women. so often then not involved in decision making. and so the needs are not considered. a group of women in uganda decided it's high time for change, then making sure the next generation is better equipped to tackle the climate crisis.

these young women of training to become experts and leaders in climate resilience and environmental protection. training the to any to the city, i knows that as the climate crisis continues, people will need to adopt a new policies will have to be put in place. 7 the so as that that he had to do, we, i really just creating strategies to be included in this policies. so every time they exclude the argument and goes every time to exclude, we mean it means we are not getting the real people that need to be at the center of the table. because everyone's using energy. we cannot invite men to discuss energy because we meant other ones using energy every day. they know the entire jenny or them collect the fire,

which to making food and all the different natural as it is that come with this. here is it's education hub outside ginger goes for climate action, teaches women and marginalized groups, practical skills for climate resilience. jemina lou tacy learned how to make an eco friendly stove from natural materials. now she policies on her knowledge jemina joined the program at 16 after she became pregnant and had to leave school as well as the stove. she also learned to make pre kits from biodegradable waste as an alternative to firewood. she has an additional income selling them. phenomenal 90 me cuz i have benefits. it is an individual that it doesn't cost me any money to make them or gets there any time when you're welcome. ne, the brick cat itself is the equivalent of 3 years since age is always so 10 briquettes bisetti years sense i benefits a low mile from them. i also build these stoves for people and they give me money

a. so the people out that shouldn't think this is wes, this is in for me, i make money. i'm doing well. the only thing is annual and get a mass in places where it's coming to cook on an open fire. people suffer from significantly more spirit tree and visual problems. un estimates the toxic fumes from traditional cooking staves are responsible for more than $3000000.00 premature deaths each year. mostly women and children. the briquettes used in this stove a safer to use because they don't produce as much smoke and no trees the chopped down for firewood elsewhere. a member of the team shows how to produce bio gas, which can also be used to cooking live stuck menu or food waste is fed into a bio digest to an underground container. when micro organisms break down the organic matter and produce gas, smuggle the kettle should gas from the buyer digest. it can then find a hub with

a clean slate with no smoke or set. so when they can come to me, i looked at the slaves remains left in the buyers i just to convey to be used as fertilizer for seedlings and crops on the field. that's a good yield. also requires efficient irrigation and enough rain which has become an increasing the unpredictable fact to in recent years. that's why goes full climate action also teaches people how to construct a route to harvesting palm, which can offer a lifeline in times of droughts or low rang some established rules. associates in the area can be a health hazard because some fact trees close to ginger discharge does he will to, into the environments this water source a little further down the valley is probably affected by the pollution. still local people drove water from it because it's that right and the source goes to climb. attraction and other civil rights groups,

joint forces cooling for the companies responsible to be held accountable. we've had demonstrations, we've written a petition to the problem. and if you've done to, and this has now been walk soon, re sent you the minutes that came on close to the companies that way of releasing micro plastics in the, in the water. so it's a success is that to the quote, the company's the company heads of come to have a meeting with the communities. and they have already committed themselves to building bits of trenches and also retain some of the ways towards the underside group, as well as success that can also be traced back to the organizations empowering programs. do we need to be the a wants to expand and reach even more goals and women? we offer to their my, the center, the reality, the young human and goes to the realities of the women in differential areas that the state different diversity can shift the different solutions towards clement, a deposition. and we believe that the, we many, the areas kind of give us some should, can have all the solutions. and that's why we're investing in different knowledge

sharing way, investing in creating the next generation of young people from this what climate lead us to pick up the sheets and forward those decision makers accountable every other day. the, a lot of us love all cell phones and spend hours and social media. so how about a, using that to benefits a environment. that's the idea behind an initiative in senegal, this inspiring people to clean up their neighborhoods and make them and nice a place to live when it comes to waste management. so my goal is i had a many countries in the region, but there's still room for improvement and the residents are rising to the challenge. this residential is it. it's just east of the

incentive goal that's become famous. joe. cool, and your end is one of the cleanest neighborhoods in the country. it has been awarded run up, and a nationwide point is to cut it out online. i mean, social networks might be your findings and a buzz of laptops to keep the streets and all these assess slipped. they will be the only people we didn't think we would we in the so what, what we knew alkali on there. leah, her name was you know, how it's 1st and foremost, the community effort was, you know, you're going to what do you want to put in your face, but it's really much of it to the residence. people not calling me for all over the surrounding neighborhoods to get plans and make their living environment better to the you are the boss nipple. what is fred fast about? the cleaning competition in tease community up to be shipped to gianni falls has been reaching out and encouraging residents to refund the neighborhoods. in many places, the seeds potential for more growth and more reading read the nature, love,

a must know on he's to rest. in the law mean a before of keys around 6 take you want me to west of the car. he watches over the prize winning food. so he's labor, he to, you know, team and for tweet. several of these neighbors has given the area up for up on myschoolbucks, which one them a lot for the cleanest new buffalo didn't cynical for that. if you need to make it simpler, is the ticket or you want me to meet you guys think that we went to nestle reason a tree funds to buy plants. as we watch 150 plants and with the help of a garden. uh, we plotted them once the work was done possible as well amazed by the change and begun taking photos on tip to kind of shed videos on social media limits pretty me fussing. i've had to be low to the run up to the competition. locals, low tone, we placed a written reading plant, has they also repainted faucets and improve the waste money. the residents are happy with the results and one to escape. it's like that. you go to the ballot

getting it, but then we do our best to keep this traits clean and take care of the flow as we see. but this is not enough that we have committed to maintaining a good quality of life on the clean environment. you know, a neighborhood is something new, but it's like we before we know the only right. yes, i left the good get a little bit easier. what you in the get it important hope. last what we did, i think we should focus on planting fruit trees and continued to raise awareness. i got the food, they fix it, and that made the task to see that was agreed to. that's how people can learn the importance of a clean and healthy environment. suffice the badges. i say it's, that's that we'd also like to understand that there is no life without having to get to be known. why really? so if i mean, i mean the changes had a positive impact on the residents,

quality of life and mental well be which the map of these as also ne, is proud of the impact that the competition has had on several areas across the c t views during the preparations for the final, the neighborhood, so us post up. but in many cases there was no reason for the lot in the mean neighborhood, a with ease of the consistency under we did not need to use the idea that really stands out. i've still there on my way to walk every morning. it makes me very happy because the painted the whole street. all the houses are the same color this shit on the pavement. a really pretty. it's ex truck old and that way. across the country, thousands of people to class in the clean up competition and also the 2nd cleanest neighborhood in the future. residents will come the results and not a thinking about the next task. when you're looking to stop seeing on the slide,

it feels good to stay here until the evening to breathe. a good. yeah. but unfortunately the vehicles that drive down the street, we thought because it would be even better. so i knew if you'd already contacted something there were now who must do your regularly post creates in social media to inspire us to follow these example. he is determined to keep these things before tea and beautiful, and we will watch in the future. bring back more green spaces to our neighborhoods. not only makes them more pleasant. it also helps control temperatures as they've got by diversity. and every little bit of greenery helps. as we see, the next story from one of offered those most beautiful cities, cape town, south africa, a lush green, small and dense. this 200 square meter, verdant patch,

outside of cape town, is a pocket forest and a waist. as in the midst of a built environment, serving a purpose for both nature and human. replanted 3 threes per square meter over here. this is what we would find, you know, photos of the 2000 years, you know. so we trying to really speed up the process, cuz this would take thousands of years to naturally form using the milwaukee method to plant pocket for us. it's a great way to boost biodiversity and restore ecosystems and urban areas. the milwaukee method, it started in the 19 seventy's in japan at yokohama university by don't talk, you know, me a walkie, and you came up with this method with you. so in japan, rapid open a zation taking place in the green spaces disappearing. similarly for planting native trees and the most diverse species possible in the tiny forest can help

build climate resilience and create community wellbeing and urbanized areas. the sites for pocket, for a start chosen carefully, there's social and historical significance are also taken into account. this forest is being that i could nation of 1st nations people. because this is the site where the 1st nations people used to live freely before they meeting with the portuguese. and with a dutch set list, a one time jo, dean, has team dump with the susie project, a group that helps to plan pocket forest all over the world and bring nature back to where it's missing. so many people, it's very hard to access. the naturally invited winds of the mountains may take them one hour to 2 hours just to reach. they said we bring this forest closer to people and it's really become a space to boost mental health and mental wellbeing. and very rough fabrics, so society, the suki project,

his health plan more than $200.00 pockets for us and 50 cities around the world. and keep till now has 5 of them day by day, the more by the city that you're seeing it according to the photos and the most stories we are getting from community members. it's really bothering us to keep going forward with countries and creating profit for us in south africa as planting more trees on cleaning up us cities, helps wildlife to flowers, but more than live impacts wide life in other ways to noises. see these red lights on airplane spa lines. new old post problems for birds and animals requested all to spring, europe's largest wildlife clinic seas many casualties, and they do more than just fruits, the outpatient. now this by the re friend rescued, thanks to a natural oh tan t nice to castro. back to health in a spanish want line clinic,

the voted prey had flown into a fence and injured its leg off to being tact. it'll be released if you don't mind will need that. yeah. you that the list to this level with releasing them into the wildest, the most beautiful, along with that is because we want some fall by the way, side of the all of us here do our best to ensure as many animals as possible, combined survive. but uh, but uh, if they, if they present the whole meant the we in my honda on the, on the outskirts of madrid, visiting your launch is wildlife pets and re clinic in just one year. 6500 native animals were treated hans brought in by high goods all foresters, mainly funds, but also ramp tiles. and the old queen king model please baby was always found roaming around long enough to hunt. most likely its mother

was shot while the bose not protected. in fact, several places have problems with population control. still, they will treat the little squeak. there's been a lot of the time we might release this animal in a hunting reserve where it might migrate to an area where hunting is allowed. but it can survive. we don't decide which animals can be shocked and which cannot. but in this facility, every one gets a chance, that's what the sentence defends a little bit as to another team examines an eagle out the bag with shot. one of the ties had to be removed but event. fernando gonzales is confident that it can be released back into the wild after all hours on tunnel and relying mainly on that hearing the conflict. on 1st

examination, we discovered that he had been hit several times once in the i totally forgot that . unfortunately, we see quite a lot of this here take on that myself too many protected animals being shot out of the hills in case on this part of the cycle, about surprise. equal hours unprotected in spain, and must be hunted out of it's an environmental crime. and that's how we deal with it's a performed autopsies and report to the authorities. so defense can be legally pursued. good thing is, how do you these griffin vulture didn't make it. it did have power lines your hand, the lopez finds the via bones on its wings. even electrocution is like this are treated as criminal offenses, not as accidents. energy companies must take action for

the okay, you see, unfortunately this happens quite often in the, although we actively search for dangerous spots as being energy companies to better insulate their power lines that are birds keep dying different when that especially the big ones outside of the state of the home, i know some animals have to stay here a good with severe injuries. they wouldn't stand a chance in the wild on like nachos castro, which is ready to leave the clinic and show off its abilities in the wild pool. they see it off and it can fly over a 100 kilometers per hour, but it's head stay steady. if it didn't say it wouldn't be able to handle the fatal look, it's had all waiting to stay still. with us again, i studied the time has almost come, a thrill that never gets old for nacho and he's colleagues know, see him,

but he, some of you need to touch as you get anymore. no matter the animal and my feet inconspicuous or even majestic there, it's always something specialist and will feel. and finally, the moment to truth, the effects from the castro. so once again, the now it's not just wildlife one line that's suffering plastic waste. it's a huge problem all over the world. i live on the ocean south field with its the mediterranean is especially bad with an estimate to 2800000 tons of plastic waste. tiny pots it goes, ends up in fish, and ultimately in us to. we had melting egypt, which both is the med, sylvania, a social enterprise is driving a clean up there with the help of some on like a life of how much meant moods. a new leaf set itself on his fishing boat from the

egyptian port city of alexandria. at the end of the day, his nets will be full with fish though his catch of the day will be gone page the which i benefit my son is fiction. when i clean the sea for them the those who heads out tough to me will find more fish. it's about why that sounds like his father literally is a fisherman and he's being costing his nets off the coast here for over 25 years. the huge amount of waste accumulating in the sea he calls home prompted to lead to take action over the country looks at me and we used to make more money on the fishing ground. all the place buying. we'd sailed for half an hour to find fish. now it takes 5 to 7 hours, which costs us money on the floating rubber. she's threatening maureen life and the livelihoods. the fisherman marine waste is a problem in old 22 mediterranean countries. every day 30 to 40 truckloads of plastic waste dumped into that see the agency is one

of the major pollutants of the mediterranean. so the problem is particularly bad here in lower deficient and used to dispose of that trash by throwing it into the sea. now we collect some use nets from them when they see the project and how it's implemented, they're excited and want to contribute. because i own the original project mediterranean clean up, started here in greece, and was noticed by the social enterprise. and the la its mission is to promote sustainable fishing methods and to reduce marine pollution work in greece was more than $1200.00. and one of them, a 100 those people for me to and they were telling me over that list here it is. we really need to dispose of things so like one of the low, physically and alaya extended its mission for

a clean mediterranean to egypt with the project in alexandria, overseen by magazine. convincing the fisherman to catch waste instead of fish was anything but easy at the heb, yet side, not even the knock. the challenge is included the fishermen themselves, which gave literally a key role and with united keeper some say lou name is elena, know, he understands the issue and is well aware of the community i go on. he started to talk to them in a different way and the mom, the 2nd of november, now around a 100 fishermen are involved and that number is a growing since the project started in may 2023. they've collected more than a 100 times of waste off the coast of alexandria for some dealing with marine waste has become a full time commitment service. oh awesome. it is productive to what with the fisherman, i collect the goes next for recycling, and at the same time i presented the wealth of marine life, both of these ghost nets and deb,

we collected from the c a transformed into something new in recycling facilities that processed and turned into room material. so plastic products, ropes, an interlocking tiles, shut off and falls back on the machine. that's of course have the property of sticking to st. you guys which makes the treatment as a recycling expense. while i was still able to make an excellent, incurable final product, we're a strong competitor in the market, and we can cover up production costs. so the office like any political science and the last says that 58 percent of the wasted collect is recycled, empowering the facilities doesn't tend up in the city again. still a lot needs to be done to prevent waste from ending up in the sea in the 1st place until then fishermen like newly will have to continue trolling for garbage and the efforts have inspired them to make their own waste fishing net.

no, i mean show the special much lights in that. so we not competing with other fishermen, franklin southern, but that's 3 times a week. lou lease set sail not to catch fish, but to collect up to 300 kilos of golf age, hoping to inspire others to keep the sea clean. what a great job they're doing that it's time to say good bye. now we really hope you have been inspired to change your world to get others involved too. if you have do, let us know. at echo i did w dot com. we love hearing from you. i'm, i'm, i'm recording day in the sock a. see you next time and i am chris allows in lagos, nigeria, if you'd like to watch more, clifton stories. just search for eco off or go online. you'll find lots of content . join us again next time. the
