women and goes unite to tackle the climate crisis. and you've gone to the fisherman in egypt to a casting the nets wide up and the amazing power of something called a pocket forest. when i had gone this way, climate dissolve those like floods. i'm so as a 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 as high time for change, then making sure the next generation is better equipped to tackle the climate crisis. the these young women of training to become experts and lead us 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 adapt. a new policies will have to be put in place the so as that that he had to do with, i really just creating strategies to be included in this policy. 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 invites men to discuss energy because uh women are the ones using energy every day. they know the entire jenny or them collect the fire, which to making food and all the different networks 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 i'm cuz i have benefits. she does an individual that doesn't cost me any money to make them work at any time when you're welcome. now the pre kat itself is the equivalent of 3 years since age is always so 10 briquettes besetti years sense i benefits a low mile from them. i also build these stoves for people and they give me money. so the people out there shouldn't think that it's west this for me, i make money. i'm doing well. the thing is in your own, 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 that 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 t is because they don't produce as much smoke and no trees of 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 digested underground container. when micro organisms break down the organic matter and produce gas. smuggle the kettle should gas from the buyer digest to condense via a hub with a clean slate with no smoke or set. so when they came home to me,

i looked back with the solid remains left in the buyers. i just couldn't wait to be used as fertilize a seedlings and crops on the field. but a good deal also requires efficient irrigation and enough rain, which has become an increasing the unpredictable factor in recent years. that's why goes full climate action also teaches people how to construct a route to harvesting pounds, which can of a lifeline in times of drought or low rang some established which is to say is 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 bottom into begun to and this has now been walk soon. recently the minister came on close to the companies that were releasing michael 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 the my, the center, the reality of young women and goes to the realities of the women in differential areas that they different diversity can ship the different solutions towards clement adapt issued. and we believe that the we, many of the areas couldn't do this in 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 eck of feminist. what clements

lead us to pick up leadership and forward those decision makers accountable every other day? the a lot of us, lot 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 set. a 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 is 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 around an option, a nationwide on disability adult online uninstalled who might be your fund isn't a buzz of laptop to keep the streets and all these assess slipped, that you'll be doing the people we didn't think we would we in the so what what we knew, alkali on the, her name was you know, how it's 1st and foremost that community efforts agreement was, you know, i think it was good. what do you want to put in your face? but it's really much of it. the residence people now called me for all over the surrounding neighborhoods to get plans and make their living environment better to come to you on a. ringback little boss nipple. what is fred fussed about the cleaning competition in teeth community activities 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 greenery. the nature lover must know on he's to arrest the law mean neighborhood of is around 60,

can lead me to the west of the car. he watches over the prize winning foot. so he's labeled he to, you know, team and fought with several of these neighbors as given the area up for up on michel, but which one them a lot for the cleanest neighborhood incentive for that. if you need to make it simpler, easy take it or you want me to meet you guys think that we went and that's the reason a 3 funds to buy plans. and we want to 150 plants and with the help of a garden uh, we planted them once the work was done possible as well. amazed by the change and begun taking photos on tape to kind of shut videos on social media. i thought something of, let me pretty me fussing. i've had to get it. i'll see the run up to the competition. locals looked on. 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 skip it like that. you go to back in the ballot

getting it, but then we do our best to keep the streets clean and take care of the flow as we say. but this is not enough that we have committed to maintaining a good quality of life within the clean environment. you know, a neighborhood is something new, but we before we know the only right, you should have that. then you have a good beginning. nobody's will let you in to get a good important hope. last what we did, i think we should focus on planting fruit trees and continued to raise awareness. they 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 sites that's that we'd also like to understand that there is no life without letting us know i'm going to be no liability. so you know what 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 . deals during the preparations for the final, the neighborhood. so us post up. but in many cases there was no reason for the lab in the mean neighborhood or whether it is of the consistency under we did not need to use the idea that really stands out. 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 now. across the country, thousands of people to class and the clean up competition and also the 2nd cleanest neighborhood in the future. residents will come the results and not thinking about the next task. when you're going 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 streets,

we thought because it would be even better. so you, if you don't need to come down to tell me that you must do your regularly plus, 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. bringing back more green spaces to our neighborhoods. not only makes them more pleasant. it also helps control temperatures as they've got by diversity, as everly to bits 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 pretty 3 is per square meter over here. this is what you 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 phone using the milwaukee method to plant pocket for us. it's a great way to boost bio diversity and restore eco systems and urban areas. the milwaukee method, it started in the 19 seventy's in japan at yokohama university by doctor kit. i'm a walkie and he came up with this method with you. so in japan, rapid organization taking place in the green spaces disappearing strongly foster 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 forest are chosen carefully. their social and historical significance are also taken into account. this product is in the condition of 1st nations people, because this is, besides the way the 1st nations people use to live freely before they meeting with the portuguese and with a doctor set list on time jo, dean has team dump with assume the project, a group that helps to plan pocket for us all over the world and bring nature back to where it's missing. so many people, it's very hard to access. the natural in vitamins 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 well being and very rough fabrics. so society, the suki project has helped plant more than $200.00 pockets for us and 50 cities

around the world. and keep telling now has 5 of them day by day, the more by it does the city that you're seeing it according to the photos and the most stories me a year reading from community members. it's really bothering us to keep going forward with calories today. things like that for us in south africa. planting more trees on cleaning up us cities helps wide live to flourish. mold and live impacts wide life in other ways to noises. see these red lights on airplane spa lines, through old post problems for birds and animals requesting all to spring, europe's largest wildlife clinic seas many casualties, and they do more than just fruits the outpatient. now this feathery friend rescued thanks to natural tan, t nice to castro. back to health in a spanish want like clinic. the boat probably had flown into

a fence and injured its leg off to being tacked. it will be released if you don't mind calling me back. yeah. you they the listless, not even releasing them into the wildest, the most beautiful along with that is because it won't get some fall by the way side of the book. 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 home in the we in my honda on the, on the outskirts of madrid. visiting your laundry is wildlife patch and re clinic in just one. yeah, 6500 native animals were treated hans brought in by hikers all foresters, mainly funds, but also rep titles and the on pointing model. these baby was always found roaming around long enough to hunt. most likely its mother was shot while both a 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, the 14 open until those and this defends a little bit of feel another team examine it's an equal out. the bed with shots, one of the ties has to be removed but event. fernando gonzales is confident that it can be released back into the wild after all house on tunnel and relying mainly on that hearing conflict. on 1st examination, we discovered that he had been hits 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 shut out of the hill, just in case on this part of the cycle, about surprise equal als unprotected in spain, and mustn't be hunted out of it's an environmental crime and that's how we deal with it. we performed autopsies and report to the authorities. so defense can be legally pursued, getting us out of you as late as these griffin volunteer. i didn't make it. it did have power line your hand a lopez finds the via bones on its wing, even electrocution, like this are treated as criminal offenses, not as accidents. energy companies must take action for the okay, cuz yeah, unfortunately this happens quite often in the although we actively search for

dangerous spots as being energy companies to better insulate their power lines. so to see birds keep dying different when that especially the big ones outside of the state of my phone. i know some animals have to stay here so 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. well they said i see and it can fly over a 100 kilometers per hour, but it's had stay steady. if it didn't say it wouldn't be able to handle the video . look, it's had all waiting to stay still. us it gave most of the time has almost come. a thrill that never gets old for nacho and his colleagues know see him, but they some of you need to touch as you get anymore. no matter the animal and

beat, inconspicuous or even majestic there, it's always something special the symbol feel. and finally, the moment to truth, the effects the cat scroll. so once again, the, now it's not just wildlife or land that suffering plastic waste. it's a huge problem. all over the world and even the oceans of field with its the mediterranean is especially the bad with an estimated 2800000 tons of plastic waste . tiny plastic goes and up in the face and ultimately enough to we had now to egypt which both of the mediterranean, a social enterprise is driving a clean up there with the help of some on like a life. the mohammed moods a k, a newly set itself on his fishing boat from the egyptian port city of alexandria.

at the end of the day, his net swept before with fish. though his catch of the day will be garbage. the rich, i benefit my son is fish and when i clean the sea for them the those who have tough to me will find more fish. it's about why that is some 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, spying, we'd sailed for half an hour to find fish. now it takes 5 to 7 hours, which costs us money and the floating rubbish, 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 truck loads of plastic waste dumped into that see the egypt he's one

of the major pollutants of the mediterranean, said the problem is particularly bad here. in lowering the fishermen used to dispose of that trash by throwing it into the sea. now we collect to use nets from them when they see the project and how it's implemented they're excited. don't want to contribute because. busy the original project mediterranean clean up started here in greece, was noticed by the social enterprise and a la its mission is to promote sustainable fishing methods and to reduce marine pollution. work in greece was more than 1200. and one of them you come to those people from me to and they were telling me over that list. there it is. we really need to dispose of things. so like one of the i physically and the 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 heavier side of the ottoman the knock, the challenges included the fishermen themselves, which gave literally a key role than with united keeper since a loony in less than an hour. he understands the issue and is well aware of the community. he started to talk to them in a different way and the mom was checked out a little bit more now around a 100 fishermen are involved and that number's a growing since the project started in may 2023. they've collected more than a 100 tons of waste off the coast of alexandria for some dealing with marine waste has become a full time commitment service. oh awesome. which is productive to what? with the fisherman, i collect the ghost net. so recycling and at the same time i presented the wealth of marine life, both of these ghosts nets and deb reconnected from the c, a transformed into something new in recycling facilities that processed and turned

into room material. so plastic products, ropes, and into looking tiles, shut off and falls back on the machine. and it's of course have the property of sticking to things, which makes the treatment some recycling expense or looking at them. and some of it 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 that was nice. and the last says that 58 percent of the waste it collects is recycled to impound the facilities that 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, the fisherman, like literally, will have to continue trolling for garbage and that 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 office human

friend once that's done with us 3 times a week, literally set sale 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 date in the sock a. see you next time. and i am present lives in lagos, nigeria, if you'd like to watch both clifton stories, just search for eco offer got online. you'll find lots of content. join us again, next time the,
