Wind high in the sky to generate energy and look at many more great ideas on protecting the environment. Why some asylum kenya. Young 1000000000 is setting up benches. And. How bonnie is tackling illegal fish. This week which stopped the show in kenya more and more messiah people are looking for alternatives to their traditional saving a magic way of life herding cows goats and sheep as grazing lands are becoming ever scots up a few young messiah have started to keep bees for that they dont need lots of land. With. The forest is a great place for bees to live there are no fruits pesticides and very few people. The members of my site people who do live in that area traditionally collect wild honey in the forest its a boring us and then just activity but last year about qana and 14 other men went into the beekeeping business setting up 10 hives in the forest they dont take up much space and they are environmentally friendly. And yet we get money and. Everything and. Who a political. Stunt to deflate like an old you know greater number of. Young men he has around who are moderate their kids were to school and that getting that money. Through the said love. And. It has become very hard to make a living the traditional way and some you know magic pastoralist some men still have as many as a 1000 head of cattle. But nowadays they are the exception more and more looking for other ways to make a living. A major reason is frequent periods of drought that means dried out pasture land and less for the cattle to eat and drink another reason is that the land where they graze their heads in strength it also has to be shared with wild animals. Patrick property has been observing this development for years now he is himself from outside and the local Community Official and close ties to the People Living here still observe centuries old traditions but they are being forced to change in order to survive. Biggest challenges the loss of land loss of land is a lot is going to be subdivided that would reduce the number of less that we rely on because that is the only thing that land can support very few. Number 2 is the Climate Change grains are predictable. You cannot you cannot invest because of the future that there is not clear for us so Climate Change and lots of it a couple of 100 kilometers to the north east in nairobi is African Beekeepers only commercial companies devoted to the development of the beekeeping and Honey Industry most of the 20 employees make cards for 2 beekeepers. And the only runs the from his skin to see Honey Production in kenya grow currently 80 percent of the honey consumed in the country is imported from tanzania but it will take time to build up a network of suppliers and marketing channels more people need to go into beekeeping. Biggest challenge is getting enough money. We cant get enough and thats the challenge because the market is that its not the issue of market its the challenge is getting enough and the small amount of harm is so far produced and is not sent to my rugby it is sold in nearby villages but if production is carried out and if movie keeping project size starved the future of the industry in kenya might prove to be straight. From kenya to europe when awful lot of wood gets thrown away that could be repurposed to young people and 1000000000 have started a project to make something useful that everybody can enjoy indeed they build benches out of discarded turn but im certain im up in pleasant spots across the city they really are doing. Eco friendly people for. This bench was made from recycled material. And benyamin other founders of benching but then. They regularly pick up discarded wood from the streets of the german capital. They use it to make benches which they can store in public places. It doesnt and thats the beauty of it we can create something new from this put a lot of bulky waste out on the street which is often an issue and were able to transform that into something positive positive as a platform. But that project isnt just about ecological awareness i want to recap here we believe there arent enough open spaces in berlin and under specially not enough public benches most public space is used for road traffic and the few park benches that exist are in stupid places we think berlin needs more benches in iceland. Patients so as to reclaim the city bit by bit. Before one. Becomes the location of adventures on instagram that they get feedback from but then this one really enjoying the new addition to the city. Thank you so much for your work really cool that you guys are doing this i love to sit on this bench. And how about you. If you are also doing your bit tell us about it. Visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. We share your stories. Oh what a lovely way to make life just a little bit nice heres another great idea this ones from senegal where they say its all. Spreading fast. Song pommels have found a way to turn this pressed into an oscar. For this senegalese fama clarinets weaves has become a lifeline. To the geonim. The plant in order to provide his village with a precious commodity few. What we make time for charcoal we also use it for the roofs of our houses and then closures for the animals. It feels like payback years ago invasive we crept into his field and theres a many farmers on the banks of the senegal river leaving them help. With. Rice over there on the other side and men and we have to stop growing rice in these fields because of typhus. Right. Now knows he can turn the weed into a year round income after joining a cooperative run by women in a nearby village and once the bundles are dried takes them to the top of a charcoal Processing Plant and the women take over. First the toughest role is burnt and then makes arabica before being pressed in the palace. The women child out 5 or 6 times a week of this clean burning fuel. I dont have the time for plants has changed the womens lives a moment before women didnt also other than fetching wood cooking for the household and taking care of the children and now we work we earn some money and we enjoy ourselves and this project we feel is right. On if. In bronx makeshift market time for chocolate pallets sell for 15 years cents a bag down days it is convinced now and i stopped by regular charcoal he appreciates a product that is always available more than about it catches fire easily and doesnt stop hurting ive used it for 2 years and i tell my friends to buy 2 wood is difficult to find especially in the rainy season you can find it were going to. Worst discussed because villages in this region of cut down almost all the trees we use this view so far is a sustainable answer for cooking in a place where electricity and gas out of reach for most senegal doesnt any use tougher for charcoal it turns out the weed is a perfect material for a cooling waterproof roof to abraham cilla was racking his brains to think of a senegalese alternative to the touch reefs he had seen in europe the answer was right on there is no use. To people who deliberately never heard of tyson so i put in my suitcase a ticket to front to show them the said it was possible it started. Cilla built the school and homes from his tax time and has overseen training of the local artisans to take the method back to the villages around 15 men have become traditional factors through the program. But it never mark the mature bravura the probably will to a cost less than a traditional stroll and it also allows us to circulate. Through. Our trash roofs 2030 years. In a region threatened by Climate Change and ravaged by a different station. Under its hard for a reef has given the village a sustainable means of tackling Serious Problems for as long as times the thrives along senegals largest river through people can take this new sense plant into their own hands and build a future with it. Now most people probably assume that carts are. In burrowing use the Voting Rights that are meant to do it. Namely generate electricity. By the way yes mt it sounds Pretty Amazing and the idea is for them to sorts of heights where the wind is really strong that means more power the system could be used just about anywhere where the grid is not available. This kite could help solve the Energy Problems of the future. It aims to generate electricity by harnessing High Altitude winds. Its own. Technology and scale it up to rival todays Wind Turbines. Starting small and have a long way to go. Well always starting over. For now the kite is attached by cable to a telescopic are mounted on a truck when fully deployed it should soar high in the sky trials are conducted at an airfield in the country saucily but the team is based in berlin. The big challenge right now is programming the computer to steer the kite with cables like these used. In almost all of the generator that produces the electricity is in this truck. In off Grid Locations the dirty diesel generators are often used in are quite technology could replace them. Todays Wind Turbines are mounted on towers the kites and lines would rise to a height of 2 or 300 meters where the wind is stronger and more persistent thing closer to the ground. The intercut laboratory is on a campus of the Technical University of berlin. The engineers started experimenting 7 years ago with fabric kites. When the kite goes up the lines on furrow and turn a turbine which generates electricity. Then the kite is pulled in again which consumes a very little power. Its like a yo yo going up and down. The team has moved on from fabric kites to ones made of carbon fiber. They build them and all the technology themselves and theyre always having to redesign and optimize. As many mistakes as possible in a shorter time is possible but only one we have to learn and the mistakes make us smarter and that makes you say. This is a lost details for the wingtips right. The wingtips are also made of carbon fiber. The material is very light and stable but it cant withstand everything. Unlike the fabric of the structures can survive a hard landing unscathed. Theyve been working on carbon fiber kites for 2 years now and have already spent over a 1000000 euros on prototypes. Once a week the developers drive out to the airfield they havent made much progress with flying yet. They often start at midnight when there is more of a steady wind. We get more flying time and it gets less stressful so we can enjoy the fruits of our labor. They need to fully automate the steering of the kite but getting there is a slow and complex process. Trim a bit of the bar. After a year of testing the kite takes off steered by the cables and stabilized by the computer. Now they have to program the computer to carry out all flight maneuvers autonomous lee. Trickiest phase is when the kite is still really close to its base the software has to be very precise. Little mistakes get punished in a big way but weve been practicing for so long that its become routine. Is still flying just a few metres away from the telescopic arm but once the computer learns to guide the kind properly it should start to fly higher and generate electricity high above earthbound wind farms. The bonds Marine Protection program is one of the most comprehensive in west africa where overfishing is a major problem it aims to stop Illegal Fishing and also supports local communities develop more sustainable fishing practices of course the program is only as good as its enforcement and that can be difficult as our reporter discover it. Just off the shore of topic a leap of the she just cannot come on his eco guards patrol the coastline for Illegal Fishing. Since 27000 nearly a quarter of waters have been named Marine Protection areas making the marine parks the biggest protections oh not for cars west coast. Idea to create a marine park came from the need to preserve the fish stocks and to reduce the pressure of fishing particularly industrial fishing. Thats why the park was created and from the shore it goes out around 4 kilometers. Commercial fishing is strictly prohibited here but he and his men still come across Illegal Fishing activities every day these fishermen have been caught before theyve already been given a warning. Or not see them here in the park again. Theyre grabbing me so we let them off a little bit more lightly. But if we find. In the park were much stricter with them. When the men go ashore theyll have to report to the authorities if they went fishing illegally. Illegal the fishing communities the marine parks are viewed with mixed feelings but more efficient and feel theyre being pushed as if theyre fishing grounds ali asking to mentone mabo is the Deputy President of gambons largest Fishing Cooperative hes come to terms with the new regulations. And. Sure the park has taken over some of the fishing waters. But what many people dont understand is it doesnt mean the fishing business is over its not over because once the fish that are produced in the park make sure they also leave these areas they leave just about. Sessile. Everyone in this community is involved in the fishing business from making the nats to selling the fish and then smoking it so that it can be transported to other parts of the country. A few years ago much of this trade with informal but then the government ordered the registration of the boats and the formation of the cooperatives. Brought. In have our cooperatives we have our Bank Accounts and all the agreements that go with them so the author and his respect us if they have new information for us i can go there as a representative and when i come back i can tell all our members. The Wildlife Conservation society has been working with the cooperatives on behalf of the governments the n. G. O. S helps them understand why for instance the mash in the nets has to be big enough to let small fish through and why its more sustainable to let the fish grow and reproduce. Get their shots isnt that the artists know fishing business doesnt produce any bicultural way street everything they catch is kept unused. They produce for the local gap in these markets while industrial fishing is mainly export oriented and thats why we want to promote artists in the fishing but it shouldnt be just done in any old way it should be done well. From head to tail every part of the fish is used for the people and gab on fish is a staple food demand is high and the authorities know that even small fisheries are an important part of the economy. Was when i was in the region we believe todays Marine Resources are tomorrows gold thats why we have to protect or ecosystems or not visible symbols of the system while the eco guard team does everything it can to watch over the protected areas the hope is that da pounds concerted efforts not only keep the small fisheries in check but also keep the big trawlers at bay. Nigeria has many rivers the lakes and lagoons and along the coastline but they have been devastated by vost amounts of Plastic Waste it is destroying habitats and killing animals something urgently needs to be done yes indeed and there are people who are rising to the challenge eco probe is a Nongovernmental Organization in lagos that is committed to clearing plastics from the oceans im sure mines on board the regime leaders. With its impressive skyline and expensive yachts going in lagos is a picture of luck serene and charm but only at 1st glance a closer look reveals the darkest sides of the lagoon is a cesspool of Plastic Waste a group of environmental activists called eco pro is fighting against it theyve been collecting trash here since 2019 to protect the environment and the people who live here because of the water that we. Know now we are looking at how we can really look at how the end of our street would be flooded up to that level with. The activists out once a week so clean up the lagoon its estimated that 12000. 00 metric tons of waste on here every day be n. G. O. S work has paid to rent the boats with no money for the owners give them a lower rate to help out but on our boats cost about 30000. 00 or because we sort of relationship with the or we just give or some discounts why the big boards with a 1000 euro because of the relationships that we have weve. Also received help from the private Waste Disposal company which claims waste from below going full freek. Plastic is a recyclable material but much of it still ends up in landfill recycling does exist here but its rhythm entry is really just a dump like what we have pickers who go to the dump site and they then individually take out the things which have to have a lot of value i mean we were literally throwing away money out of value so you pick them out take them they sell them off to the different people who are doing the recycling. Up to 100 workers help with the clean ups on a regular basis. The activists want to foster more Public Awareness about the environment to help change peoples behavior if only people can imbibe of culture where by your drinking you put in your bag and trash it money that way you can find the trust fund. Like a pro has also started to collect garbage on beaches sometimes theyre able to recruit extra bone says spontaneously. And about just about not what it costs us all i could. Be that my factory a smaller one because im wondering if its just like. An estimated 450000 metric tons of trash dropped in the lagoon and on the beaches every year. The activists hope the government in lagos will step in soon to do more than its doing now and that way the way say it will be claimed every day. Thats all for today thank you for watching i hope you enjoyed the show and found it stimulating by from me.
