the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, i am beautiful, but here the slaughter of case shall conservancy in my child, cas county in the republic of kenya. and we are talking about something that is of great significance to the continent of africa. this state of the

florida station and the under, i'm feeling some say, or the lowering to mean that this a higher a does that is moving down south and we want to ask ourselves, what in the tut from a need for nomics done find in order to appreciate that it is important to look at the continent of africa and look at some of the play market zone is. this is the continent that these are diverse. a diverse can be. you have the must've so hard is that up in the knots. you have been not me visits out. you also have semi, i read fonts of the continent of africa in the home to include box of can ya. so my, the to include thoughts, even all the seal p i live through and the continental as dry savannah line. but the continent also has launched purchased, if you go to the democratic republic of congo,

which is now described the long use of the word is the biggest rein furnace of to the amazon. and do you see the big grievers? if you look at the revised cost, the continent of africa, you leave the $9.00 and you go to the congo, which has one of the largest volumes of what, uh, anywhere in the world. you go to this reverse, the center, the gum, the, and when you come to the eastern fact you have denied and you have the little ones, the girl on, on. you have many reverses, including the impulse put down so and many lakes or as a link which the europeans call victoria and in uganda is cold and narrow by and of cause in kenya is called lulu. and in one day, school in youngstown is one of the biggest lakes. if you go to the lakes and uganda, the numerous late didn't tons and the uh, the uh, numerous lakes in the west on fiber of costs. we are where i've already talked

about the reverse, but the full size of the agree by the new chaise of degree, by the and of cost of the chart. but the question age, these revise that we are talking about these what of bodies that we are talking about knowing as we do that they are the lifeblood of the economies of many of the kind of countries. what is happening to them. and what is bringing about all of these things? one of them is deforestation. you know, they all has that time when many african countries not that those times behind us assume that you could destroy you a forest for funding purposes without consequence. we now know that if you don't take care of you afford as then you are going to suffer. we know is that because you have seen nigeria suffering because of do for this fish you have seen can yeah,

suffered because of do for the station. we have seen many of the countries suffered because of do for station, because when that is different, it's vision. a number of things happen. you know, affect the rain for boston. you the fips the side with the consequences that you have a lot of floods in different areas. and these are some of the things that africa has been looking. not particularly when we get into the i v, not of a team but harvesting or lumbering without control. i know for a fact, for example, in the democratic republic of congo, they are a lot of individuals and companies that i gave in discriminate login. and that was beginning to affect the chromebook based and in a very fundamental manner. and many governments allow us to engage in the exercise the really what it is they should but there is, but

a station was not using indigenous trees which have the ability to holler to the side. this was fried in, in the sub binder vision in the science region. they introduce new varieties waived from from booking of fi. so the senate uh on that does not help. and one need to analyze the impact of deforestation and the impact of the expansion of the so how do i does that to the economies of african countries that has lucas checked this? chad young best basin is one of the most important based and for purposes of funding on fish. and in the last 20 years, they've tried the best and has shrunk by more than 70 percent. then that is 2nd is the official community in those areas of no economic activity. the reason why you seem, for example, in

a gun or you have these additional gold mining which is polluting the what that's called gun i'm saying is because there is no economic activity. and not only that in discharge and reason agent, you come to the nile, for example. the nile has not tod, it's what a volume, but it use in a dramatic way. but the egypt sions on now, why did this, if that does, that continues in the mind that it is then i'll bring the car in egypt is going to be affected. and as regards denied, we know that when the british control doc part of the world in 1929, there was a pretty, in 1959. there was a pretty and these 3 days. why designed to ensure that the use of what size is controlled from the sauce of denied to mean the areas in kenya, uganda tons, and the one the one the even up with the up you which has the blue and white knives

. and we now know that in fact, because this, the appearance of decided to build the ground itself and we and also done the chip sions actually threatening. at one time it was thought that there wouldn't be a wall because of the what as you know, the words, we are saying that because of the continued expansion of the dead and deforestation of the ground, what is being affected. and once ground water is being affected, then the economic viability of some of these areas is compromise. we begin to see the event generation of hydro electricity, which could be used for industrialization, is beginning to suffer. the vault is such that um, in gone not that now begins to suffer because of do for station on because of this. uh huh. that is creeping down with the canes. you done in nigeria is also

suffering because of that in the democratic republic of congo. the grand inga has not suffered because they have forest is to lice and has not been accepted in a very dramatic way. but if you come down south and you come to the country, but in the yet when done before the 30 but dried out. oh, almost 80 percent. what is normally referred to as the victoria falls? well, what is known in the local language? the most c o 2 now for this month, the fund is, was no longer funded on people who are wondering what it is that is happening. but when you look at it very candidly, you see that the mana in which he has dealt with the afford, has been discriminate money in which we are cutting down trees in order to convert land into agriculture alone. we are not only you losing the furnace, but we are also losing this side. and we are not only losing the side via also losing the water. and that in my view is something that is going to affect the

african countries in a very major way. in the east of the country region, if you go to a countryside just can you. it is now imagine that most of, well what about is a that dead or dying the dead or dying? because the width lines i've been converted into agriculture alone or the wetlands, i've been converted into construction site. then that effect is that we depleting the up we fuzz. and it is the thing is the quality of land. and it is affecting economic activities in the month of october, for example, in the 2024, the countries of the 9 best and such on the agreed that they would re negotiate some of the arguments that in place with a view to ensuring that the what is the denial used in a manner that is proper because the transfer boundary and therefore ought to be

used carefully, but that is easier said than done because in regard to the 9, what does the gyptian understood that needs have refused to sign into the framework argument which then bends the question, what is the economic impact of this the hydra? what is the economic impact of deforestation? number one, what, what is going to become a man job problem in the continental africa in the not too distant here just simply because the quality of what day is being undermined on where people depend on ground. what the ground work is being depleted on a daily basis and that has major health and economic implications number to upgrade cost you. when we are losing our sorry to cover, it means that the quality of, sorry is suffering and it is not lost on me that in the 2024, there was

a heads of states and governments meeting in a little bit. can you? i wish they were discussing the question on the side of quality on the impact the tubs in terms of agriculture, in terms of nutrition, and in terms of the ability to feed ourselves. i'm saying this because as we speak now, african imports almost 70 percent of our food. we import fish from china. we import the ends from romania, we import the chieftain from brazil, we are importing. she can feed on all these when you look at them directly traceable to the impact that the expansion of the desktops of hard. if you go to countries such as what's on where you have to not move, does that all you go to countries such as in the media, you would begin to see how this is also affecting the livestock industry. people lose

a live stuck in the millions with the consequences. the people economic circumstances are undermined in a very dramatic way. and when that happens, the economy has major implication in terms of the house. the people no longer have good nutrition. the people no longer have the ability to build a zillion. and of course, when that happens and you cannot make up with you and it is either reduced, then it also high security implications. and it has never been lost on me. that when you look at the countries where you have this, the hydra, all countries where you have lost all these, the levels of violence as very high. because it is easy to recruit young men on these days. even young women to participate in the anti social activities and in incentives is because they have no economic up to it. so as we look forward, it is important that africa, us cause of what are we going to do to ensure that the deceptive occasion

does not continue in the mind that it is? what are we going to do to ensure that we are the forest idea of what a station is given is prior to place so that we don't lose the side cover? what are we going to do that we clean? what time to ensure that the revised chug, what are we going to do on the political question of climate change or participation in the conversation around climate change should not be relying on what is happening in europe by dint of public coupling credit, which should as a continent us cost solves fundamental questions, particularly in the context of africa agenda. print to 63, which promises that it will deliver africa into on a bit of sustainable development and will ensure that we are capable of feeding all ourselves, all these things critical. and anybody who thinks that this, that is vacation, the expansion of this,

the hydra is something that we can continue to know, must know that it is a luxury that we cannot afford. anybody who holds the view that we can continue to cut down or trees with objects to abundance without consequence is the new thing themselves. because history on nature, very hush on the visit pain up on those people who have been all of them. and i on of the view that the time is now to get into the every now and begin to do that, which is right to address the certification on those thoughts before the station and begin serious programs of early forty's, bishop, the conversations on the continent of africa and diverse issues continues a pace for let us say our goodbyes for the moment and we see you on another occasion as we continue with the consolidation,

the government name tag take to the 5th, 2 judges outside who runs the supreme court. according to the do, do digital media center, the fact that says his own life full police put into the pool. so we need to, there's absolutely no doubt a rough piece on in there on, on the interrupted human can access respond to that tremendous suffering. you know, goes off for uh, just immediate access to garza to the fiscal agent, to the, on this condo over $100.00 more lives, a lost an idea of strikes despite the seats. why greenland between israel and how
