From my dad almost completely even though theyre. So resistant and vironment influence is one such cause is now making a comeback in mali and this is going to interest you hi sandra yes and i cant believe it we always have many good tips here on eco africa. In the Nations Capital and i just kept. Lets take a look at whats coming up on the show today. The climate resistance green thats becoming popular in mali well tell you why the ugandan teenager who is championing Climate Change activism will tell you how and the women in zimbabwe training to be a grain just to fight poaching well give you the details. The phony a grain has grown in Africa West Africa for around 5000 years and weve more and more areas being given over to rice it had lots of disappeared the extremely small grain can be difficult to peel but he contains many more nutrients than say white rice in mali for instance many farmers are now switching back to this form of millet as it copes well with the i would conditions in the region making it a good option in an age of Climate Change where the farmers are regularly suffering crop losses. Its harvest time in a district in the Central Eastern region of mali near the border of book enough fossil harvesting for neo across native to west africa a kind of military with small seeds and Excellent Properties its one of the fun. Just growing crops in the wild it grows in dry climates and sandy soil even without irrigation for a long time phoney it was neglected but now more and more farmers are growing it again. Is one of them. We have to take land degradation into account. Is much in demand again now because it helps protect the soil. So when you. Force after the phone you know has been cut the stems are left in the ground. And that helps to fertilize the soil. Paramedic effective use it. Because the grains are small processing them is very time consuming traditionally for newest threshed on straw mats then the seeds are mixed with sand and pounded in a mortar it takes hours to extract a couple of kilos of the edible part of the grain. But things have changed here since the swiss ngo have it us provided new machines that make it much easier to process the grains the one machine separates the grains from the stands. The other removes the husks in no time. That saves these women a lot of work now they only need to sift the grains to remove any remaining impurities. We used to have to pound the grains till our hands get red and sore but thanks to the machines from how theyre to us we dont need to do that anymore now its far less strenuous we can just wash the grains and put them in the pot to cook. The grains are used to make porridge course bread and also beer. Ibrahim saleman 20 car runs a restaurant in the capital bom a call. For new used to be reserved for special occasions and festivities but now its becoming a daily staple. For you and me. We watch the bone your very thoroughly and we prepared in such a way that people can eat it at any time. We served with 2 kinds of sources like a peanut sauce. Or a tomato sauce. But the most popular dish on the menu at the buffy is mango chicken with 4 new. Many guests come especially for that. Phone you know is really the best food in mali created all the time at home. I often asked my wife to make it for me but weve come here as a special treat because its so incredibly good the way they make it here. For new is not only tasty its also very nutritious. Scientists say it has exceptional qualities making it superior to rice and corn. Is a nutrition expert at the institute for Rural Economy in bamako. Im nothing it is very rich in essential amino acids which are important for the body. It is a product that is very rich in fiber. So it is more digestible than other kinds of millet rice and corn. Back in tommy p. L. T. That is teach our younger colleagues how to make calm passed. In order to facilitate the process they cover the pile with straw. The fun you know stems protect the compost from the sun. So there are many reasons why this ancient staple of grain is regaining popularity in mali. The demand for for new has been growing in recent years and its price has been rising too this gives farmers an opportunity to boost their income. What happened when you cut down the tree in your garden well is one tree less you might say well what happens when thousands of trees disappear in one region they fax consume the felt the ground dries out the humidity goes down and biodiversity is reduce not a happy event eco check has the facts and the fias. Every year around 2800000. 00 hectares of forest are lost on the african continent thats about the size of equitorial guinea. And most of the forests are cleared to provide space for farming a full 93 percent for shifting cultivation. A lot of the timber is used as firewood or turned into charcoal both vital Energy Sources for rural populations. Charcoal is also exported 40 percent of the charcoal imported to the European Union comes from africa. Deforestation contributes to Climate Change and to a loss of biodiversity. As a result of poaching on the clearing of woodlands the forest elephant population in Central Africa declined by 2 thirds between 20082016. But this is good news too thanks to a range of brief forestation projects. 27 african countries aim to plant 100000000 hectares of new forest by 2030 thats an area almost 3 times the size of germany. So are you prepared to plant trees now the situation of forest is very serious as weve heard and one young Climate Change campaign from uganda is taking action. And guess what shes just 15 years old yes len im going to hunt the ideal planting trees on but these instead of having the tradition ok drinks party shes also the money should from the local and Global Leaders to come to the negative impacts of Climate Change we recently made up. Here that maybe. Youre going to get many. Good ways leading bespoke to spec games Climate Change in the ugandan capital of kabul students taking to the streets to be a part of the Global Movement for ideas for future Government Action to crowd Climate Change. There is only one purpose is that we are young people and we are facing for our future and repurchased ever afraid to face the Mother Nature i think people my age are coming to protest because they know they have the biggest thick enough future and theyre trying to fight for it when you turn 15 last year she didnt want to kick or a Party Instead she decided to celebrate her birthday by planting 200 trees. You know she launched a tutor campaign with the trees which go to a lot of attention since the people in uganda planted over 3000 trees. As they were given back to the planet. Cheese. For example. But. That is suitable for a forest and much of the space is used for Group Culture that is why the young activist wants the government. To the trees and nature reserves she has also convinced some land owners. To plant trees on the a private. Forest. And. Plants. Within. The whole forest. Despite some resistance more and more students in uganda joining. Every friday. For Climate Justice demanding Government Action against the Global Climate crisis. Campaign is going viral on social media i want our government to know that this Climate Action is real and its needed you know this is taking place so i one that got me also good to see what you got a special group and they also take but under such a budget their responsibilities. Also doesnt shy away of getting her hands dirty she. Used to Lake Victoria which is not far from high school. Together they collected Plastic Waste from make sure and encourage locals to do the same. She also started an Online Campaign to force the government to ban plastic bags in uganda and then we can learn just preach and preach and so people dont do this without practicing what you preach when they 1st started the lecture cleanups will find a lot of rubbish because it was. And everyone would just throw our ambition their legs but since they said seeing us cleaning their legs people have now a very good chance to us when they see as theyre like we are going to clean the lake now and theyre being called pride to you they know that its nontrade for the mission that. Even with some of the rubbish on the lake cleaned up you know im going to face his huge challenges fortunately she can count on her family to support how far theyve been peaceful the seedlings his fist public criticism for his daughters activism but he sees the 2 druther see how this treats fighting for a good cause then staying silent when the planet needs the help. To do so no team but houses have been built in europe for hundreds of years the surprising thing is that these towns are not only pretty but also very sustainable that is why so. Some of us talking to adopt these time once again lets take a look at one of these but own boston houses. This picture s backdrop looks like something out of a fairy tale but old have tempered houses can be found in many european cities. The tradition dates back to the 12th century buildings are constructed from a wooden structure filled with brick or loan that made sense wood sand and clay were all freely available materials. This have timber house is not even one year old yet it was built using the old methods have timbered inside and outside for owner nor but it was important to have a low energy home equipped with the latest technology but the roof to is based on a historical design its a socalled cold roof which is well ventilated. Thats an old Building Technique in the sense that in the past there were only called roos and you notice that in the Old Buildings where attics and not insulated in the summer it remains a quite pleasant temperature at the top of the house but thats all it down to the way its constructed. At the same time the Heating Technology in the house is cutting edge a fuel cell supplies the building with electricity a solar thermal system provides warm water. On the ground floor and Underfloor Heating system is being built that uses brick just store the warmth the windows are made of smart glass that darkens when the sun shines keeping out about 90 percent of the heat in summer the house was built by Construction Company owner. For more than 25 years hes been building have to bring houses based on old designs but with the latest technology inside. Its a real challenge people used to build very differently centuries no one was concerned with Energy Efficiency and cetera these days we have to work with significantly thicker walls and accommodate very Different Things windows have to be fitted completely differently and it all has to be done so that its not visible outside. The wooden skeleton is constructed in a carpenters workshop using only timber grown in europe. Just as in olden times no nails are used. Instead the beams are connected with joints secured with opecs in keeping with traditional methods you know this is a joint that has been used by carpenters for centuries only wood is used. The advantage is that it expands in the same way when temperatures fluctuate and thats not the case if you use wood together with metal and that can cause damage in the long term. About 12 cubic metres of wood are needed to construct a house with an area of 200 square meters if you place the chambers end to end they would stretch almost one kilometer it might sound like a lot but wood is a lot more sustainable than other conventional Building Materials like concrete and cement. Todays new have to merge houses fit seamlessly into their surroundings. And if their historical counterparts are anything to go by they too will that centuries ahead of them. But in africa now weve got to turn on your people call them the father of your Innovation Fund that he will was just 16 when you started tinkering with stuff and inventing things it was still watching love doing it and he also loves to share his knowledge weve visited his innovation hard when you ideas get developed and watched and a lot of them are environmentally friendly. Where theres a will theres a way bennett has taken that proverb to heart largely selftaught hes an expert thats devising mechanic well and electrical devices this machine for example flattens inner tubes for a drip irrigation system walking a fine. For the point of an invention is that it has an obvious and i realized that the environment has been neglected come even though its so important to human life so i decided to focus on technology that. For the technology. To have as a good. At home he installed this windmill to produce energy. It powers his homemade washing machine and pumps the water from and nearby borehole. His invention isnt just environmentally friendly it also saves a lot of time and labor. When theres no wind he uses a stationary bicycle to pump water that was his 1st invention. At your home we dont use power from the National Grid we can hannas energy from the sun or you and the sun is free is the power of nature you dont have to pay anything all you need to do is get the parts that converts sand into power and install them and you are protecting the environment or it was amazing that the prolific innovator shares his knowledge and passion with others a few years ago he cofounded the 10 day social Innovation Center in the city of i will share here he and other Staff Members of our what shops and develop new ideas like using Recycled Materials to construct a wheelchair project manager john is here every day he and bernard can we are regularly consult on technical issues. Trending in a social Innovation Center that seeks to empower the community to solve their own local challenges using local authorities. The community can feel that we dont have we dont import this knowledge or these things from outside these are the things that we have we use them at home that we find in the local shops that can help us. Many of the contracts come from farmers asking for example if it might be possible to construct a machine that plants a siblings directly in the soil planted kiwi and other inventors try to develop Effective Solutions some customers stopped by his home to see his machinery in action many interested in his solar powered water heater. Farm we hear is the most important part of the tubes theyre difficult to get but all the other things can be sourced from local 100 stores this one has used a metal folding legs a normal iron shooting of it the most difficult thing is the heating tubes but i realize that used fluorescent bulbs can work if you paint them sahni of color workable way about. Built from secondhand material to his son a water heater only course around 155. 00 euros about half as much as a shop what the response to his creativity and skills on the planet has become a successful equal interpret as well as an advisor to other sparing innovators. Fantastic ideas i wish we all could think of something simple and smart to protect our environment and also make the world a better place but now we move from one very clever man to a bunch of very tough women in zimbabwe yes youre right were going to an all female Training Camp for wildlife rangers their admissions criteria are strict but the employment chances for the women are good we looked in on them to see what the training is like. This may look like basic training but in fact to this we men are competing to join a progressive Conservation Program they want to be part of the uk a shingle and anti porch in units set up by an a stranger and Soldier Turned environmental activist sorry 2007 saying we recruited the 1st 2 or armed all female writer squads here in zimbabwe and the programs in our ground weve gone from looking after one reserve to being looking after 4 with a total of a 1000000 acres the aca shingle which means the brave ones ensure not the local language are willing to risk their lives to protect wildlife in zimbabwe pondering the wildlife area but there are also united in a desire for independence and selfdetermination many of the women are victims of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence someone abandoned by their families my husband used to abuse me years it was i can just simply say he was an abusive mean he was very violent to me but i had no option i have to move from that violent so this is the 1st time is transforming the standard of life of all women most of the women in developing the ourselves and some of them that it financially independent all are catching the rangers come from communities near the area they patrol so they know the locals and also have a different way of connecting with them they are often more adept than their male counterparts at collating potentially violent situations and showing people the importance of protecting wild animals and i think. This i joke cliche of winning the hearts and minds it can only truly be one guys the local community from everything off saying in 3 decades of Law Enforcement across 3 continents the best way to engage the local community and to get them on source is to work with. This time 80 applicants passed their recruitment test and are now starting their 6 months training during that time the women also train with rifles in case they do have to engage heavily armed porters since the establishment of the squad 3 years ago in point dont do what left area elephant poaching has dropped by 80 percent in the form of trophy hunting trucks so far the aca shingo have arrested 115 porches using close combat techniques and without firing a single shot anyone who wonders to match the fuel ranges does so as their peril main aim was to me and the world and i just ended this project off i question that in 2017 i remember when we were kenya we did their training we were a mixture with the men and. I minister to challenge men in fiscal training even though i knew. Long run the push of the situps. And the dregs so i think we were just the same because what they can to eq into and in some cases even better another factor in the womens favor is thats there has not been a single incident of corruption there because shingle have been a success on various fronts and the model is now set to be expanded by 2025 its founder wants to have a 1000 female rangers in the field patrolling 20 packs. I hope this edition of the show has convinced she of the importance of caring for trees and maybe get you to rethink the use of firewood and i hope you find a mixture of topics as interesting as i did for now is good but. I just kept old surgery until it is a good buy for me to hear incompetent i am. And i hope to have your company once again next week for another amazing episode of africa till then do take care of yourself and goodbye. Young. Girl. Its been closed for a year.
