Colleague sandra hello from me too i am sandra teen of the oh here in kabul uganda the africa well on todays show were going to visit a river thats those things live but is also a source of conflict because water is a cause and a valuable resource also took on the cause. By German Family the company that used green and sustainable. In the democratic republic of congo 1000 people friendly chuckle. Under a project in uganda about the environment. Bust to the mara river it starts in plano and it flows into left victoria. It is 400 kilometers long and it is an important resource that the 2 countries have to ship they are owed over how to manage it fairly unsustainable it is the kind of conflict of the 2 see elsewhere not with the 2 we went to tanzania to meet people who are walking on the solving the issues. Of. The mar river in northwestern tanzania is the lifeline for local villages. They have to travel almost 3 kilometers to collect fresh water. People here only use a small amount of water for the homes livelihoods and down amongst the populations upstream a growing polluting the river and putting pressure on the water supply. The bubble of pollution continues and isnt prevented the morrow river will dry up. And if it dries up it wont have any effect. But also those living further up the river. They are the ones polluting the water. But its us at the low and you are mainly affected you know an arthritic a new. Person charless village chief and chair of the water used this association in the village the organization was set up to conserve and protect the village Water Resources but theres only so much they can do charles thinks the government needs to do more. Jumps touma is a coordinator for a project working with the government to do just stunt hes come to marsh the board to find out how much water people use and how the river has changed over time he enters team want to make sure theres enough water for People Living all along the river they want to boost biodiversity to. Grow sort of quiet water for environmental flow the minimum amount of water that should be very. Very bad to floor downstream. Of. Within the everybody. The marker of the project is funded by the International Climate initiative and implemented by the nile basin initiative. Scientists are collecting data to form a water allocation plan and facilitate a political agreement between the kenyan and tanzanian governments they want to make sure people on both sides of the border have access to water and avoid any future conflict the Current Health of the river is an important aspect of the project the scientists examine water quantity ph temperature and other factors. We measure these parameters because if we find theyre outside of the correct range. Then we know theres pollution in the river. And that is something that would affect all the life in the river as well as other users like us human beings. Today the water ph is normal but water levels both in the wet and dry seasons have fallen over the years which could be a problem if that trend continues. A problem also for these water uses in the serengeti here the mara river provides an essential source of water for animals including more than a 1000000 will to be to migrate here every year the migration brings in tourists and with that income for tanzania the mara river post hotel does not use the rivers water but the river does give the hotel an advantage i think. The hotel be here to be here as well because. A lot of. Trucks. To come here because of the animal. Back in march the burra suppose the childs fears that could come a day when the water in the marva stops flowing. The river is very important for me because as you know without water theres no life. Only an agreement between tanzania and kenya well im sure there is a future for surprise there charles and for all the people and wildlife you rely on the river.

Youre not going to be also so mccollough very is designed to replace wood as a fuel. We need to reduce the pressure on our forests to make the new in a place you. Know for. The carbonized waste is mixed with water starches then added to bind it together the resulting briquettes are then dried in the sun or with a machine which takes 2. 00 to 3. 00 days. The briquettes or compact and burn for longer than conventional charcoal. But is a beauty theres no difference in the way its used its a direct substitute replacing charcoal that damages nature with one that protects the environment because the stem.

The manager of the fun juice been a vegetarian since childhood funs food projects that she believes are forward looking and environmentally friendly bacon chips without pork or hemp bars and shes prepared to invest between 200002 1000000 euros in the. Couch as green food has so far invested in 8 startups among the firms theyve invested in is the porridge maker. Have. Actually came across profited by accident they had a pop up store in the main train station and i walked past it on a sunday and tried it and found the taste fantastic i got talking to the founders and learned about their concept but we ended up investing because it was the 1st Healthy Breakfast to go on the market and yes. It marked in 2014 on a schubert open grillings 1st part bar with 2 friends they wanted to offer Something Different from the bakery chains and i thought its always easier to sell something with meat a breakfast with ham will sell people want that but there are enough existing concepts that offer it already we dont have to. 40000. 00 portions of powerage across hoffer counters counters every month odes fruit and nuts are challenging meats dominance. Thats when we started we renovated just small kebab shop we scraped all the fat off the walls and said lets start our parts business after a few months we took part in an Accelerator Program run by german rail they were looking for startups to make train stations more appealing it was mostly tech firms with a few Food Companies we were one of them and they were impressed by our part. Their concept is simple cheeks. That have been in europe for centuries and add different toppings and fruits. When Anna Schubert and her cofounders were given the cash injection from conscious green food they made the leap to become a chain. The good food is now a trend in german cities this shows where most begin foodstuffs are being rolled out 15 percent of Global Market launches take place in germany closely followed by the United Kingdom in the United States in spain in france its only 4 percent so a market for wealthy countries but theres more to it if any witnesses i wish there was wider awareness of the relationship between nutrition and the environment. Such an important point and we need to become more aware of it i believe or just at the beginning especially in germany and in the United States people are already 2 years further along in terms of consciousness making for. Germany maybe catching up fast but for the time being Sustainable Food trends remain in niche market for young and well heeled urban foodies. Now mamma tango mother elephant in swahili it also is an affectionate little women call each other and they mean it literally some of them track the animals and do what they can to keep the car wheels free for them to move about that helps to keep the elephant safe from harm but also it shows that both the humans and the animals have enough access to discuss their sources like water. Its early in the morning in some border county kenya boitano is taking have families animals out to the grazing fields but thats just one job shell do today. As a few accessories for her next job as a Wildlife Conservation as. She is the leader over women group popularly known as mama timbales mother of elephants their task is to monitor the movements of the big animals. One. At 5 am i do my chores and then get my children ready for school at 8 am i pick up my data forms and the g. P. S. And walk to the wildlife corrido we dont just observe elephants but the other animals to allow. The elephants are still their primary interest the paki dams are endangered in kenya alone between the early 1970 s. And 1000 nineties their numbers dropped 90 percent but here in the Columbia CommunityWildlife Conservancy numbers are now increasing one reason is that pack of have identified and signposted what life and livestock corridos elephants often pass through the area but left alone use the route they can lead to conflicts the mama timbo take note of where animals tend to congregate as well as any trace of illegal settlements or traps set by poachers antelope trucks. I mean one Conservation Organization has provided the women with g. P. S. Devices and data sheets the fact that antelope came through here is a good sign an elephant is just an umbrella species its a big animal and if an elephant has enough space to survive enough space to whom around. No doubt other small animals will go under a fence and this is why we its been elephant and also the data that we have it coming from elephant. Things are quiet today but that doesnt mean the women arent on the lookout they want to protect wild animals but they also have to watch out for themselves. Well now my dog a wild animals add dangerous we have lions elephants and other dangerous animals do feel anxious as i walk alone. Another source of worry is porches the conservancy collects the skull of slaughtered animals but they are finding fewer and fewer of them. Life has become a little more secure for the majestic beasts sounds to the presence of drink as. The consulate is in fact. Of creating a commodious whatever disposal areas. Are in a very secure environment. Because security is assured. After all when just patrol. And there they are an entire herd with a drop in portraying they have become more relaxed in the presence of people. We have discovered that the elephant is a friend here anymore and this has also helps the community because the animals have now become very social in the past the wouldnt pass new homes because every time they pass there will be killed but now a days they pass near homes without any human interference. In the evening pion returns to her 1st job from really depends on it the small sum she receives from one litter in the elephants is a welcome extra income but contributing to the protection of the elephants is a reward in itself. So going to digital has made our lives easier in many ways where he has also had its downside in rwanda there is no tax on a number of Electronic Devices and nicety based gadget and thats led to a massive increase in electronic waste in recent years now we disappoint from the world bank the Rwandan Government has opened a state of the art dismantling and recycling facility close to the capital kigali not only protects the environment it also provides jobs. Every round and school child will have a lot of thanks tony location Police Initiative but what happens to all that electronic waste when it stops working each of the 450 pupils in this school in biggest sarah really does have a lot to fulfill us not all of those and many are recycled all the models which break down theyre prepared. With. Good reason this is. Because to help us to expand on the ridge. The whole country is committed to recycling damage and discarded Electronic Devices in hospitals schools government offices and companies are picked up by employees in virus of an International Recycling company. They hardly is taken to in virus salves plant syrah 60 kilometers. From the capital kigali here its recycled and restored its one of the biggest plants of this kind of africa. Who want to have. The horses to. Go by system for end of 20 west management established and run thats thats our main. Our main target and we want rhonda to be a model for for other countries not so many countries have.

He left school early but begun collecting electronic was 2 and he was 17 now he has his own company employing 35 people. To get a good we buy these electronics from different places and from people who dont need each year to but for us these electronics are valuable after collection we saw the electronic equipment to separate the ones which can be reused and resold after being repaired. If you take on the market the government wants to make sure the countryside doesnt get clogged up with abandon in west so it has imposed strict regulation. As it was set up to be a horrible. Technology and we wont see duce developing in this as a level where were the cream of his. Bread offender technology because we want to see our countries do. Looking but with minimal impact in terms of environmental consequences back at school the laptops are given to pupils for free. But since you have started using it. Many things has changed this shouldnt have started to knowing that it is so sort of information these and hes not only. Did a pretty become no longer i imagine life without him and they know these laptops wont go to waste but to be recycled so most to dance can benefit to. See if there was. Pollution on the Climate Crisis harming our world the future of our children is at stake so when the young people stand up and demand that i dont take responsibility the world sits up and listens just think of greater than bad and fridays for future environment 3600 in ghana that supports so cool the economies it teaches children about recycling and groove technologies and the pulse of what belongs to the funny kids can be great influences. Saying. How to load not read live once a week about Junior High School the kids have a class on environmental studies. Where riyad our surroundings when the place is what we need to sleep do you feel sorrow decide whats going to talk us. This. Fall sick. Feeling.
