Is my colleagues they go on level all the way from south africa hello easy. Hey andy good to see you again and greetings to all of you all there from johannesburg the largest city in south africa weve got some nice reports for you on the show today so lets get started. A company in nigeria has developed solar powered polling stations to reduce food waste. Initiative in paying our wants to help coffee farmers successfully exhausted to the consequences of the Climate Crisis. Its stunningly beautiful unpredictable and cannot be tamed i am talking about the deserts over 80 percent of new jr and landlocked country in west africa lies in the Sahara Desert and huge june creeping closer and closer to the capital niamey but an ngo called a young volunteers for the environment all pushing back leading the fight children and teens the organization believes that the young people all the key to changing Environmental Policies and practices and once theyre on board they in turn convince other members of the families to join the cause. And Environmental Protection in action. Xenia is learning from master blacksmith even human mana how to build an oven that works without wood all parts must fit together perfectly so that the oven closes tightly and no heat can escape. Even him a man is building a series he just received an order for 50 ovens from the ngo volunteer to porn on field. Through. This oven as a tool in the fight against desertification is because its not filled with wood but with rice husks the husks cant be used for anything else not even animals a tongue you know my butt out. Every day tons of rice husks accumulate in the state rice factory its waste with no nutritional value everyone who has an oven can get it here for free to use this fuel sunny yuba visit schools to talk about the ovens importance after all trees and bushes hold the desert sand in place so this is about our behavior we have to change our behavior and our way of using Raw Materials we have to as you said correctly use clean energy and especially use Power Sources that allow us to reduce our use of wood. The pupils are allowed to test the oven at home for a week. How bad my money bossa route tells his family how to use the appliance. When. You know we act and it seems easy to use it produces hardly any smoke and you dont need to use wood any more thats good i want to try the oven out properly. The new oven costs about 15 euros and the ngo also gives credit to members of the ngo discuss the Digital Campaign the organization wants to plant trees and find people to take care of them the Campaign Begins in a village 2 hours upstream sonny i says that after initial hesitation the women were eager to take part. In barley calling it green new 0 or new share is going green its about taking responsibility and making things public a walk a lot also create a digital version then everyone can put their picture in the frame on their smartphone and support the campaign on the internet but its most important for us to show what the people in the villages are doing locally how theyre doing their local part to fight desertification and solve the problem of the initiative has organized a very special field trip in the evening the pupils are to see with their own eyes how desertification keeps progressing and how Important Trees are this is a member. Not far away from me on the bank of the river sand dunes have formed but the final trip will enable the pupils to understand the phenomenon of desertification but will also see what people can do locally to stop the spread of the desert and to anchor the sand dunes. The gigantic dune of settle re at the gates of the capital niamey the pupils only want one thing to climb onto the dune as quickly as possible. Some of these sand dunes wander up to 20 metres a year depending on the wind their height can reach 30. 00 to 40. 00 metres the pupils are overwhelmed once they get to the top. Wow its awesome ive never seen anything like this ive never been here before its so beautiful. Its good may be beautiful but its a nightmare for humans and animals if you want if you dont want send there instead bury your homes you have to try to prevent them from shifting. With sand drift fences for example sonny are you by explains what everyone can do to help stop the shifting of the dunes the students are pensive. Look after seeing this here im quite troubled. As you look at some point the sand could reach the town. That makes me afraid. Theres only send left here nothing grows here anymore its a real desert. So if it keeps advancing and reaches the People Living on the river then itll be all over. With us and ill get off. The outing had a big effect on the pupils theyre now motivated over the holidays theyre going to environmental camps where they will set up sandra fences and plant trees anything and everything to stop desertification. Going. Whats an amazing thing those young people in asia are doing speaking of young people a school kids around the globe are making headlines with their dedication to preserving and improving the environment have you heard of the fight is the future protest anti indeed i have see its great to see so many young people taking a political stand about the we we are treating our planet and its resources but some are also attacking the issue with hard evidence in the german capital berlin for girls school kids are taking part in a project that provides useful information to the whole community here is this weeks doing your bit. These cars emit Carbon Dioxide as well as a fine dust juice the abrasion of brakes in tires. The fine particles have an impact on the climate and can cause lung damage whether in lagos in burnley and. High School Students in germanys capital and now finding out just how polluted this city really is it all starts by connecting a sensor to the small process up. The German Foundation has designed a do it yourself kit. I didnt know i like this project very much since im really into tech and i like to tinker with things including theory. By collecting data almost a dozen schools will contribute to an online database of the city a tool to alert authorities in the event of air pollution spikes. This school is lucky the level of fine particles here is acceptable according to World Health Organization standards these young scientists not only point to a problem they provide data for a solution. How about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. Doing your bit and. We share your story. Spalt vegetables and fruit that become inedible you see that quite often at the end of a market day after produce has been left out in the sun for Holding Growth impossible to sell the heat is a problem not only on the markets but also for the producers Small Farmers rarely House Storage options in developing countries for instance about 470000000. 00 Small Farmers lose about 25 percent of their annual income to unnecessary food waste anymore state in southeastern nigeria a local company has come up with a solution lets take a look. This looks fresh and juicy but once is travels the routes it will sell and the vendors will make any money in countries across africa its almost impossible to keep perishable produce in Good Condition because its so hot in developing countries a major cause of food spoilage is lack of call Storage Unlimited has come up with an indigenous and affordable solution to the problem his company told hobbs is based in a worry in the south of nigeria does it mean social enterprise that actually designed and installs solar powered working called rooms the goal is to use disco drums to a stand the shelf life of political food from 2 days to 21 days these are completely solar powered so they are very well designed and robust for installation in the farm and in the markets because cool have coltranes and solar powered they can operate off grade that is where there is no electricity available out of the sockets. And for the same reason they environmentally friendly in the daytime we are running off the solar panels are descent time story and edgy and in the night we switch to the batteries so just 24 hours a day for Generation System completely of the grid the cold rooms are well insulated and those temperatures inside is kept at minus 5 degrees celsius farmers and retailers can store their fruits vegetables and other parishes bills and lengthen the shelf life allowing them to sell a greater share of their wares make more money and reduce waste what farmers doing is just rent the green crates for 100. 00 and i like it and they just all your produce inside a cold room you know for just under an hour now when you check the when you check the laws you know the laws on market is of us use 2 percent the laws can get to 70 percent depending on where you are since really cheap very affordable. Hobby is up and running out of market in a way stallholders please this is made a welcome difference its evidently worth their while to pay this storage fee she went to in the coal store the fruits and vegetables that are unsold one day spend the night here and theyre taken out and put on display again the following morning the whole House Company hires only female staff to run its cold rooms to help boost employment for women this hub is a success q and do is busy as you can see here is almost like the place is really working well. I have seen as you potential to grow its business across the vast African Market the Company Estimates it can build and sell up to 20000 generates over the next 10 years. Hey all you coffee drinkers out there do you know that over 2000000000 cups are consumed every day and much of that comes on beans grown in africa and while the best coffee is good to the last drop dr periods insects or the lack of knowledge and resources leaves many small coffee farmers struggling to sustain a livelihood the situation is particularly critical in kenya which is why climate academies have been established to teach the farmers how to adjust their methods to suit the conditions of the Climate Crisis levy a great wonderful and outdoor Training Session at the climate to carry me more diffuse this. Because. You know. This is becomes more. Becomes more people of. The movement to prove you are. On todays show. 2 way to prune coffee trees the aim is to prevent the fungus that causes coffee berry disease which destroys the being sick. They found was that the Climate Academy are expected to act as multipliers the idea is that then we pass on their techniques to up to 50 ad the farmers know about space here such that they will be. So. Much of course is a coffee rejoin in south and kenya here and local cooperative operates and model Coffee Plantation but Climate Change brings challenges like diseases drought too much rain and this is causing yields to fall Climate Academy is visiting today and wants to help the farmers ive just their program is funded by the Fair Trade Foundation is just one way the farmers can become more successful again. We have nutrient application. To. Drink. Because. Despite tips on cultivation many farmers find it difficult to leave just from growing coffee through the Climate Academy they and michael credits and gain expertise on how to generate more income be that through aquaculture. Or beekeeping. Because we found my james and davey is now trying his hand at chicken farming. With all my new knowledge learnt at the Climate Academy i can even sell more than 9 chickens another of them sell for less than a 1000 shillings. Even when my relatives come to visit me i can take the chickens and use them for food. Before that it wasnt possible. But coffee remains the main source of income in the area theyre called but if the process is its members have a say and helps marketing it collaborates with the Climate Academy and follows a green afro to watching. This used to be a waste now farmers use it as a cheap organic fertilizer instead of expensive can call it. Do you think its possible for a large secluded area that seems to practice military maneuvers and explode hand grenades to also serve as a seed habitat for wildlife believe it or not the answer is yes at least if youre talking about Armed Forces Training ground in germany it really is Pretty Amazing n. T. To discover just how many recipe shes find refuge in places like that birds wild cats walls all sorts of plant and insects are more or less left to their own devices along with the surroundings themselves and in fact most German Military Training Areas are part of a European Network dedicated to the preservation of biodiversity. Constant tank movements and artillery exercises make Nature Conservation at this army Training Ground a complicated affair before the ecologist start work the search Party Patrols the area to make sure there are no nasty explosive surprises lurking in the grass theyre always accompanied by munitions expert from the German Military once. They found a missile its location is marked down and laser bomb disposal experts will pick it up. You have to search carefully as we use everything from small 20 millimeter ammunition to large ordinance and explosives of course its much easier to find bombs that define small munitions and dont forget weve been using this troop Training Area for 80 years so you find all sorts of stuff here. Just those 80 years of Army Maneuvers have helped create a very landscape in bomb holder or grasslands with wild herbs as well as woodlands and brush all ideal for biodiversity. Funds are so valuable because theyre hard to find anywhere else theres no arab land so no pesticides no nutrients no fertilizers this is only for military maneuvers. The army has all the heavy equipment it needs to preserve the Natural Environment this Armored Vehicle is used to take care of open spaces to make sure they dont get overgrown it tears up shrubs and flattened small trees. Germany has 1400 square kilometers of land for military drills the Environmental Group nabu commission to study and found something astonishing although there are pollutants like heavy metals and kerosene residue the sights are ecologically important. The home of didnt let finance was one of the situation in these areas is unique the exercises create a patchwork environment there are temporary changes what we ecologists call disturbances in areas where soil is removed there are pioneer sites where rare plants can grow as well as animal species you cant find in the regular landscape. Destruction by tanks and artillery creates new ecological niches says army ecologist bill 3 quarter. Ponds foreman tank trails and bomb craters where frogs and mutes can spawn. Its extraordinary the damage we see here from tank trucks you only see this in military Training Areas is especially important for Nature Conservation this is not static Environmental Protection its a constantly changing theyre also valuable areas not in regular use by the military where nature can evolve organically its not too early. In the areas used less often they deploy sheep several 1000 sheep graze all summer long in the military Training Ground so thats what makes sheep really useful is that they get into all the corners under the bushes into parts of the woods we cant reach a machine cant do that the prince grazing and droppings at the turf into the state that nature needs. The sheep of spent numerous summers in the military zone and are well used to it so shepherd karlheinz can kill. In there really really generally whenever theyre shooting even heavy fire youd be amazed how fast they adapt if they do get frightened they huddle together. In germany large swathes of the Natural Environment to been wiped out chiefly through intensive farming the untamed land in Army Training areas is highly valuable in ecological terms in bomb order to spite the bombs and grenades this unique environment get special protection. Have you ever heard of a pangolin have you ever seen one there are unusual looking animals with tiny eyes and nimble tongues used to pop acts and insects all the eggs different species in the world hope of them i fear and africa bites the a severely threatens take care since scales are widely sorts ofter for traditional medicines and in the fashion and Cosmetics Industries and their meat is considered a delicacy in parts of the world so much so that the mysterious creatures are in dire need of protection. 2 legs have their own protective armor and require. One on watch every time animal kiedis take over the penguin. Thats because theres a high risk of her being abducted his scales with 15000 euros on the black market. Laura was just a juvenile when she was rescued from patches. We have many security measures in place which we dont make known to the public so overlapping security helps us i mean unpredictability of rehab of penguins we constantly changing sought some like haitians some days that well some days theyre not well so theres no set pattern as to when we are out in the bush or where were going. The animals that naturally rajas century were all rescued from the hands of poachers some of the penguins need medical help when they arrive because they havent eaten in weeks poachers dont kill penguins immediately preferring to trade life specimens. Some animals are still so young that natalie rochus has to feed them milk from a syringe. Or a needs to gain weight to every day she gets put on the scales. Today shes 4. 00 kilos since she arrived at the end of the century 5 months ago shes gained about a kilo. One mall and she can be released. Theres still so much still to learn on them. On her weight that she arrived at they were usually still be in the mothers territory not milk dependent but still within the mothers territory before they became efficient enough to find their own food and find their own territory. Is unknown what happened to. It team of rangers is dedicated specifically to tracking down the poaches Glen Thompson is in charge of the group he says and tracks but he says tracks left by penguins are hard to find in the bush over the course of many years observing animals in the wild he and his colleagues have only ever seen one penguin if you look at the bottom of it theyve got a very similar to an elephant so its like very soft lines in it and back feet so most of the time to find the sign of the penguin is when its walking the tail will leave marks in the road like this as a team and goes on and its extremely difficult to see this one. Thompson and his team have repeatedly confiscated illegal goods and large animals theyve also arrested a number of poachers although theyve probably caught only a fraction of the criminal gangs that operates here. The rangers are dependent on tips from local residents so well get information that these someone in a village want to paint and soon as we get that information and we can verify that it is a lot of penguin well set up a sting operation with a c. P. S. And then well go in and go affect the race collect the penguin and then take it for medical treatment and medical assessment. These coaches stop to refuel because the pangolin was still alive and lying in the cargo area the rangers had received a tip from a witness. A rescue mission like this is what saved and gave her new temporary home. Now she can at least go for walks back in the bush at the moment still accompanied by her own personal bodyguard. What incredible looking creature has lets all conservation efforts continue to succeed well thats all we have for today here at africa hope you enjoy the program im sick and go vote signing off from johannesburg and its also time for me melt i need to be to you well from the big garden in lagos but dont forget to stay in touch on our website on the social media platforms see you real soon well by. 000. 0. 0. 00000013 years old and surfing of the worlds top 10.
