Back and enjoy the next twenty six its heres whats coming up on the show today. We discover why people are resisting the felling of. Fossil and why. Thinks. They might be cute but sea turtles are under threat people often arent aware that they should not kill the animals or take them back home in the coastal town of what tumble in kenya and organization is trying to protect this marine creatures its workers collect them from the sea shore and release them back into that natural habitat thats they can. Resist across the sands to its new home the indian ocean conservationist. Is satisfied with a Job Well Done but back in his office he seems an emergency call he immediately sets out on a mission to save another title. My work involves risking sea turtles that have been caught accidentally by fishermen when youre bored. Sea turtles are amazing creatures. Theyre also an endangered species. If they werent protected theres a chance i may never even have known about them so my story. Security has been walking with sea turtles for a decade now. Before the project started im sort of sure about these. Odds. In war time or on not on cost title protection is being spearheaded by an Organization Called local ocean trust. Turtles were coming up to nest on the beach here in the what henri national park. A times they would get poached so people became quite upset about all of that and sort of patrolling the beach at night and thats how the First Program started everything back in the day. Here. By the local fishermen he drives through the village buying up titles that have become trapped in fishing nets each title saved and the fisherman between three dollars to ten dollars depending on size and location the admission weighed in tired and that are not going to be with. Us if. People didnt know what importance title having the ocean you have to understand when the importance of it so we it was really hard for them to do what we had to me like rescue tattles we very much we went. Some of the sea turtles are but others are not. So its better to leave all of them in the ocean otherwise you might end up eating a poisonous startles you are taught not to consume them. Fishing and tourism are the main sources of income in what. Climate change and ocean pollution have led to a decline in fish stocks prompting some to hand from are entitled as an alternative source of food cultural believes also play a major role. People are paying. That when. They were in a very strong which. Today a green bottle needs medical attention this clinic is a safe refuge for ailing tuttles. Brings them to a rehab caretaker. If their. If it happens. It. May at some point or a few with diet with plastic. In one court. Can be slapped with a twenty thousand dollar fine or first life imprisonment local ocean trust community sonny safari leads a program that aims to teach local villagers alternative ways of finding a donor by funding and begin to draw to resist and. A lot of fishermen so the country find enough fish they might decide to kill a turtle instead and sell it. We have to teach them about alternative sources of income so they dont already lie on fishing. To date. Has at least sixteen thousand titles back into the ocean. Back then but to give the species removed from the endangered list is still far from one. If it was to be a problem all over africa the huge amount of trust just piling up in the streets i dont rip of zimbabwe for the capital ha ha ha ha im wondering started collecting the winds around as something sent to the city so many people have seen before and that they have now decided to clean up all the countries seem to be doing separate. Cleanup flash mobs are taking action in harare. And zimbabwes capital the Waste Disposal system doesnt work as officially as it should. Be so theres a new trend citizens cleaning the trash themselves. Members of a local church scour this parking lot close to a shopping mall. There mormons and for them although god may work miracles they also believe that your own responsibility to clean up the neighborhood. Another example and environmental n. G. O. S also getting in on the action. Some trailblazer show others how its done. And how to use a mask to protect yourself against diseases. That the whole idea works suddenly others spontaneously help cleaning up so its no longer. Cool to just sit around and watch while others do the dirty work of cleaning up. The commune like them. If you are also doing your bit tell us about. Visit our website or send us a tweet. Hash tag doing your bit we share your story. She is just sixteen years old but shes already started how own business week ali is here right nick farms fish using aquaculture the waste from which feeds the hydroponic vegetable at the price has a double use in times of drought in south africa thats right as she has Great Success to what side i would a thousand fish has now roll into a business a supplies about six stalls and because he says neighborhood yes south africas capital pretoria what would you say a great idea. I her passion is farming fish reka lisa reineke a is sixteen and still at school four years ago she started implementing an aqua panic system on her fathers farm in Pretoria South Africa it combines conventional opera culture like raising fish in tanks with hydroponics cultivating plants in water she started out with a thousand fish now her experiment has grown into a business that supplies fish and greens at the same time. I was just in the sea vacuuming this tiny little so you can put it in your backyard going to do the levy on the system can feed about four to six people on a weekly basis you can make a place in time sounds a stable with fish and vegetables they can i cant see any good thank you pete. Alternative systems like this one are especially important as south africa suffers from one of the most severe droughts in its history many farmers have lost crops and animals due to the lack of water. We make getting knowing the rainfall should begin at the start of those of the year this is the season and its going to have a certain effect on me im on the on the water table so bowls are drying up one of the things were going to be doing this week of issue learning up wolf trying to. Get a little bit more water out of it. We have to also have literally dried up enough that we cant even use aquaponics as a reliable alternative especially in dry times the uses what she calls a decoupled system in order to save water its a simple way to recycle used water back into the system we send all that wood to to a friend tank at ten thousand to tank from day its been full to do this system the problems of diesel over a new chance and then also an eight hours cycle that was the steam that then what it was in the fish that so sending the same this would shift back to the fish tanks so this is basically a big big filter or in a natural way she can say its a big way to. Another advantage you can grow anything from cucumbers to tomatoes and lettuce leases vision is to roll it out to places where people are poor and water is scarce. The adults who want into this is them and only once a week we need to we need packages of that that some day you can have your fish and vegetables in your backyard and you can sell the saturday to have been coming back and south africa is still in its infancy so far there are more than one hundred ninety freshwater and over thirty salt water aqua culture farms official see a lot of Growth Potential in pondok systems. We have a pop culture alan is complete we also have programs whereby jones i wouldnt complains we actually go in hold that theyre holding from us hand by hand to advise them on how to start in our in our company its fun we give them step by step excise i do not think they think that their government has helped us enough. Especially for young up coming into premiers we need funding he needs Financial Advice i dont think ive got enough help and advice from the government in south africa. With or without Government Support rick elisa run to go will continue her business and passion growing vegetables and farming fish on a big scale. Thriving green is a project set up by german students developing a specially breed of all jews that could be used to help feed people in barren and drought stricken regions initial pilot programs already underway in kenya region thriving green students see cultivating all gee isnt all hard work its also lots and lots of fun. Just a few final adjustments then their algae detector will be ready for a test run. By device allows the students from regensburg to determine how many microscopic algae are present in a water sample and not just any algae but a very specific kind spirulina algae are also now being grown in kenya. Via the internet the students in southern germany are monitoring the growth of the algae in a basin they set up in kenya that way they can alert their african collaborators to the best time to harvest it spirulina tastes like salty salad but packs a much bigger nutritional punch. Not come and has feel you know one hundred grams of spirulina algernons have more than sixty grams of protein and six month thats six times as much as eggs ones and spirulina also has a lot of essential vitamins that people here are often missing the dimension evicted fearon. To a county or county and northern kenya is an extremely hot and arid region it borders on the worlds biggest desert lake but lake took on as water is becoming more and more say a line salt has accumulated in the dry soil making it useless for growing crops people and animals in the region suffer from hunger and malnourishment in april twenty seventeen the students set up the first basins through their start up thriving Green Financing came from crowdfunding donations and prize money the project only uses materials from the region because ultimately the people who live here will have to be able to run the facility and make repairs in the first basin was up and running in just three weeks after construction began. To go on looking for. Both of them for you know we go one two. Three. Many of the villagers turned up to watch as researchers out and see exceeded the fifty square meter basin with spirulina cultures as filled with salty water from lake turkana. As were some guests most of them three kilometer we got the first basin up and running and saw how quickly and at what kind of scale the biomass started to appear and we were pretty amazed by this seeing algae grow in the lab in a test tube is one thing experimental at the speed at which the algae reproduced and several thousand liters of water well thats a natural wonder. Thriving grain wants to extend the farm until it can eventually supply spirulina for four hundred people the micro algae reproduces all on its own through Cell Division and every part of it can be used the only and put is water and has to be changed occasionally because evaporation otherwise causes the salinity in the basins to rise circulation also mixes up the water algae mixture which promotes growth. The spirulina can be harvested every twenty five days. Aside from goats beans and corn little thrives in the region around lake. With. That. Even so the people here are a little suspicious of the bright green algae at first but they soon lose their reservations people weakened by malnourishment can be helped back to strength by the nutrient rich food stuff. I guess and if you like it yeah i like the words but i thought they. Thriving green and the people around lake talk cannot have developed recipes together when mixed with corn meal and water powdered algae makes it delicious flatbread. Youngest industry over half a Million People in Kenyas Turkana region suffer from malnutrition even more and other east african countries fresh water is increasingly scarce in many regions especially in developing countries so we think that algae farming has potential rules. The spirulina farmers have received requests to set up facilities in ethiopia and bolivia as well. Nigeria has one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world the countrys population is growing rapidly and i would call trees expanding to meet demand but its a vicious circle the fire station courses so i leave ocean on sunday wasson feels the need for more law and our next report shows just how dramatic the situation is caught in the act the ranger tells the men they have no rights to be here this is the boundary between. The forest guards can rest them because they have entered a strictly reserved area the chord zone of a forest in a two state. And people thought of the dental before and the other punishment if you could send it to called the Protection Zone as part of a wider strategy of the Nigerian Conservation Foundation the ngo hopes to save the diminishing forest in the country each year nigeria loses more than three thousand square kilometers of woodland only seven percent of its land mass is still coming by trees the foundation a set of grass roots because of asian comedians to help to protect the forests the chairman fred explains the zone system of neighboring ghana gilla forest it covers three hundred fifty square kilometer is divided into three zones we are transitional and causal yeah we are transitional. Where were plant. Last. August so we are also in tents or blunt one with your trees this year the transition zone sees the most human activity farmers there are allowed to plant crops here on the close supervision however one major concern is arsenic people sneak into the area to set fire to the land and drive animals out of the brush they also still go to the forest to light up the forests because they want to fall for and they must be made me just in the projects they ambitious goal of the Nigerian Conservation Foundation is to have twenty five percent of nigerias land mass covered with forest again within thirty years thats about four times more than now. One approach is to ban all human activity and let the forest regenerate itself every adult every live every warning type of. So the comedian is actually just released on top that is why i. Came to direct those things to be like this the next step will be to plant more than two Million Trees over the next three years to ensure the survival and growth of nigerias forests. Cher bots are becoming ever more popular in africa cooking i mean. But the award of the share not. A five year old high energy field and thats why its meetings are charcoal. To stop the resulting deforestation. The group is training the women to make top quality. Recognized as an organic products the thinking here. On this one a live tree is more valuable than the dead one. Sacks of charcoal selling on the side of the road for bargain prices its charcoal made from sheer wood some producers are allowed to cut down trees selected by the Forest Authority the producers pay a fee for every tree they cut their bullet from keep it. Women who cook in the Big Restaurants with the Big Government save a lot by using sheer charcoal thats because its very slow burning and you saw it last for a long time in the oven. So not surprisingly shia trees are often cut down illegally either for personal use or by people looking to make money. So has a huge problem with the forestation over one hundred thousand hectares of forest disappear every year. Weve adopted various measures to try to reverse this trend but its true that illegal logging is still taking place in our forests. N. G. O. S are working together with the state to finally put a stop to this phenomenon in burkina faso. These women are collecting the fruits of the ready to turn it into. A product used to me. Any cosmetics and creams the little honey do sabir each checks the quality of the fruit he works for a local ngo c. E. s its training the women to produce more and better quality she of better this will allow them to increase their income making their families less likely to cut down shia trees illegally the n. T. O. Has taught the women to process the fruit as quickly as possible before it can be attacked by insects or the kernels begin to germinate. Gather the fruit into a heap then leave it until we were ready now we boil it up as soon as weve collected it and then put it out to dry in the sun the butter we get now is much better. In the capital ouagadougou sells all kinds of goods made from shia butter ranging from baby Care Products to vaseline and shampoo shia butter is an important export product but the shop owner is already feeling the impact of the illegal cutting of shia trees with their Production Output has gone down compared to ten years ago and thats reflected in the price we used to pay three hundred to four hundred francs for one now we paid double the price because the product has become more rare. And thats because there are fewer trees. See a lot of. Protecting the trees is the name of c. D. s here in the southwest of the country the ngo recently installed a modern shear butter Production Unit here to do is to be very has been training some of the women from the local village of super gun. Crushing the shia colonels provides the raw material for the better. The work is physically much easier the women are able to produce more butter and the quality has also improved so theyve seen their income go up significantly. Were looking at the future of our Children School fees and health care for our kids. The hopes that by improving the womens financial situation this will in turn help to protect shia trees. It is in part the families of these women who are chopping down the trees so if we can convince them of the importance of protecting the trees they can in turn help to persuade others and when they see they can earn more from the butter theyll be more motivated to protect that source of income and dont get on in. The projects in bikini count on the women and their families realizing that its in their own best interest to keep the shia trees a life. That wraps it up for this weeks show we do hope you enjoy the last half hour of reports from africa and you so its bye bye from the ancient city of river in niger and its goodbye from me here in the robie kenya we do hope that youll join us again next week for another of this on all of our environmental and dont forget to speak to us on our social media pages we love to hear from you my name is sarah my money he may robi until next time its goodbye.
