From all across africa and the rest of the globe so glad you joined us for the program once again examples of how to make a wild a little bit cleaner and thereby making it a bit better heres a quick look at a few of this weeks reports. In ronda we will learn how communities can live in harmony with the mountain. In cynical we will find out how simple it can be to go full steam kitchen west. And in ghana well meet a man who calls himself a forest saver. The heart of the tom personal makes it is a small scale Affordable Housing project in South African ownerships and its main mission is to replace informal bucket shots with durable structures and whats even more important recycled construction waste is used to build the homes made the founder and director was already won a number of awards for his innovative business idea and also see how it works. Good to know the. Littlest greater johannesburg is home to around 8000000 people many of them believe in densely populated informal settlements or townships like so were told just southwest of the city. You know one of the what we have a lot of people who are. Coming in Childrens Book going to look for Work Opportunities so most of them prefer to live in a township because its cheaper to live there when youre ready and the critical window for you to there from where i used to go to work so theyve created opportunity for homeowners to try to create a coalition for those people where theyre renting structures but that accommodation often consists of simple corrugated metal shacks and rented in backyards which often little privacy or protection from grain and called. Ludlow who grew up in a sheet metal shack in cells are trying to break lia he got the idea to replace corrugated shacks with brick structures he even developed a way to make the breaks he uses to keep them as affordable and either mentally friendly as possible theyre more like almost like theyre walking because. Youre sure you have a different less demand for this or try to cut your britain caused by up to 30 percent lead level maxs briggs out of paul construction west so he doesnt need to use that also means the vics dont have to be fired in a kill with serves on energy because the Building Blocks are interlocking the pressure of their own weight is sufficient to make the wall strong and stable its an unusual way to build but its less of a body on the environment than traditional monsoreau. Before moving into one of the new brick houses is only c. Via a come economic spent 6 years living in a mental shack now he has a proper home he has to pay more rent for the new house but he thinks its well worth it. Actually arm around very very very happy because if youre staying in the 2nd thing that will shake his leg. In a place to be like a human being actually staying in their room you say you feel more confident when everything lecture. Building rubble is a major environmental problem in parts of johannesburg Many Companies just dump their ways to legally to avoid paying disposal fields that bordered on to mississippi or so much that she founded a startup to recycle the west rather than seed i love in honey but a lot of people do it Waste Removal right they collect ways and then they call it but then we take responsibility over where the waste ends up be they have visited roads little waste we compost it we also send it distribute it to organization that make you service. Organizations like lend that loaves housebuilding company have they just started stuff compatible trast their construction west provides the basis for globals environmentally friendly bricks one issue still to be resolved is how to process building west and transport it to construction sites. And we are working out how we can actually call aberrate and heres the rubble as raw material for making bricks and then we need people to separate their waste encrusted with this will. Lead to many who come to johannesburg hoping for a better life and up living in insufficient housing theyd zaki the people he wants to help and not just by building homes for them he has many more ideas for the future. Of the planet which will. Bring the people that live here obscure them to try to build all sorts of so we can replace all the sharks by their names and also bringing them to build their own houses sustainable homes constructed from the cycle materials using mall. Eco friendly meadows forward thinking solution thats been official not just to the environment but the wellbeing of entire communities 6. Randa is one of the most densely populated countries in africa even so in the west of the country on the border we have a democratic republic of congo is one of the last remaining refugees for the glory a foundation is now showing schoolchildren how to resolve the guerrillas hubby talks that may help they feel that people are able to continue to coexist with the indented i mean was it off because when by to see the good enough. Ok knows National Park in rwanda is home to a very rare animal the mountain gorilla there are fewer than a 1000 left in the wild the spread of disease and habitat loss pose a threat to this endangered species. To help protect the gorillas valerie awkward to sing it teaches children about Environmental Conservation shes the Program Director for conservation heritage tour or c h t which is located in the sounds district next to the park. She needs to be a tomorrows generation yes kids kid is 3. Spread the message kids can and so we create so we just chill have children to where people kids scorcher and and because they are they can be a board today for their message today rest of the community. Rwanda is one of africas most densely populated countries so these children live close to the gorillas natural habitat most have never seen one. Using paper mache masks valerie and her colleagues help bring the gorillas to life they also encourage the kids to draw pictures of the majestic apes. Who call back and she said in the lead up to draw the gorillas when they talk about it and the children start acting like her as beating on their chests. But conservation education is just one pillar in the efforts to save the mountain gorillas another is creating alternative livelihoods for the local community. This farmer has just received a lamb. By donating sheep to local families the conservationists hope to encourage people to stay out of the forest. Were now in day out when in days i feel happy about winning a sheep like as a farmer will help me fertilize my field with a problem or do instead of going into intending for can as a National Park which is the home of the mountain im going to is too quick to do so says found can you be sure its going to be. Going to set in the forest they can looking for meat that used to happen before but when you give them sheep its a no tentative to what they have been quite acting from with a mountain of what has had. The most exciting part of the classes is an excursion into volcanoes National Park there the schoolchildren get an opportunity to see the mountain gorillas in their Natural Environment they come up to discover wow i dismounted what it has because they have been watching them and they feel old theyre already seeing them through visuals that we were showing them today so and they have never seen that so sinew very natural habitat did a q wow danielle a cuz so that also expressed them. Valerie a core of just saying and her colleagues have received numerous awards for their efforts. For valerie its further encouragement to continue her work so that the great apes can be preserved here for generations to come. Hey all you coffee drinkers out there did you know that over 2000000000 costs accrue fumed one white every day and much of that comes from the growing africa did you know that we are to where and now i do know while great coffee is divine. Periods or lack of knowledge and resources leaves many small coffee farmers struggling to sustain a livelihood this iteration is particularly critical in Eastern Africa thats why climate academics have been established to teach farmers how to adjust their methods to the conditions of a changing climate here is our report from came. Out training at the climate county me. Because. It. Becomes more. Blood. Becomes more people. Their movement to prove you are. On todays show the correct way to prune coffee trees the aim is to prevent the fungus that causes coffee berry disease which destroys the beings. They found was that the Climate Academy are expected to act as multipliers the idea is that then we pass on the techniques to up to 50 ad the farmers know. Such that they will be. So. Much of course is a coffee region in south and kenya here are local cooperative or better its a model Coffee Plantation but Climate Change brings challenges like diseases drought too much rain and this is causing yields to fall they cant occur to me is visiting today and wants to help the farmers ive just their program is funded by the Fair Trade Foundation running is just one way the farmers can become more successful again. We have. Applications supposed to. Be. 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. Beekeeping. Coffee found my james 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 and none 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 but if the process is its members have it and helps marketing it collaborates with a climate that amy and follows add green approach to asking. This used to be a waste now farmers use it as a cheap again except allies are instead of expensive chemicals. Recycling and making the most of existing resources weve got a couple of examples and that on todays program in this weeks doing your bit we had to dakar senegal to see how a simple cleverly designed compost turns mango peels coffee grinds and other Household Waste into rich fertile soil. Most households produce a fair amount of organic waste every day. And that can be used to produce fertilizer for flour all bunched up all gardens. Where not your chin gone couldnt find a compositor in senegals capital dhaka she decided to make her own. Her team turn standard metal barrels into simple but effective compositors. Holes in the sides and top help to eric the kitchen or garden waste and speed up the composting process theyll also allow earthworms and insects to get inside and help break down the organic matter. A small door cut at the base makes all removal easy. After adding a coat of paint the compost is ready. They can we produced in several sizes over the past year the team made about 200. 00 units. As a container the climate in senegal is perfect for a come past with the humidity theres no need to do anything it transforms on its own thats how we came up with the idea. That. Any vegetable or fruit scrub can be added as well as bread pasta tea leaves coffee and not on eggshells when mixed together the organic waste breaks down naturally into a nutrient rich compost. It takes about a month for the garbage to transform into fertilizer which can be used for anything from plants in pots or boxes to compile or orange trees. 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. Rising sea levels. And could be venture. Early lead to islands being submerged its a scenario that is already threatening an ecosystem on the coast of not western europe the world and sea communities on the ill show islands are seeing increasingly frequent floods our local flora and fauna could face dramatic changes are you call reporter paid a visit to an island on the north sea coast of germany. The sheep on the island of form might outnumber the 1100 inhabitants but their grazing helps to maintain the sea dikes and that serves everyone because on average lies a metre below sea level the dikes are in fact key to the island survival in times gone by the local population protected themselves from the high waters by building their homes on manmade hillocks known as dwelling mountains. Twice a year these 2 men inspect the dikes to make sure everything is intact but can these vast structures continue to protect the island as the planet warms and sea levels rise further be unleashed is a Coastal Defense expert for the northern german state. On the classes and ice dike defenses are still the best solution because they offer as a way to counteract the effects of Climate Change and our measures for the coming years offer a secure a future that means the population of the whole china could continue to live and work in safety. Lucious responsible for the upkeep of the roughly 8 metre high external dikes that run for almost 30 kilometers right around this island in the wotton sea. But internal tykes also help to protect the island. As do the drainage channels. Because its not only the north sea waters that pose a threat but also those that rain down from above so how do the locals get the water off their island they channel excess water into a basin by the harbor where the from there its pumped out into the sea at low tide its a solid system except during periods of extremely heavy rainfall. Increasing rainfall and rising sea levels will be challenges for a pair of arm but as a tide marker in the harbor shows the islanders have plenty of experience with tidal surges theyve done battle with the sea on many occasions. Nevertheless the local population can no longer rely on the exact same type construction that has served them in the past. Zorba state of schleswigholstein came up with a strategy its called the climate dike investment in london but proctor where factoring in Climate Change and are currently strengthening our dikes and such a way that we can build the most high is 2 meters above sea level it was. The green area shows what the dikes currently look like. The climate dike slope more gently towards the sea and a socalled safety cap of an additional 50 centimeters is built on top depending on how high the sea level rises even more height can be added at a later date the whole exercise is very costly but many on per volume share the view that the dikes are the safest form of protection and in the case that the defense has failed to stand up to the sea in the future the islanders are also planning to build emergency accommodation on twirling mounds the same kind of manmade hillocks on which houses used to be built without dying if in the near future there are moments when the dogs cant hold the water back will seek refuge on the 20 mountains it wont be easy because storm surges tend to happen in the dead of night during heavy rains and strong winds. Actually getting to the 20 mounds wouldnt be a walk in the park but however difficult we still have to make that provision. On the whole the people of perform are calm perhaps because experience has taught them that land comes and land goes but theyre absolutely determined to do everything they can to protect their island. Protection and conservation thats also what our next report is about in recent decades garnered a lot of vast tracts of rain forest its a situation that is worsening Climate Change. Thats right near to one local equal activist and in tripping you decided to address the problem and reforested a piece of land by practicing Sustainable Forestry there has helped revive the natural ecosystem hes enterprise is not only good for the environment but it has also become a popular destination for the eco tourists. Oh. So can i have a ladies come forward this is a moment when into inviting actually enjoys treats in his visitors to the intoxicating center of the lanky lang blossoms exam pass a rather aggressive man but the fact backs going to smile like that for weeks thats well and walking in the Flower Garden is quite beautiful. It isnt very nice to see that theres a very like this in god that. Others whether theyre hearing god or even outside of the country could come to and actually enjoy nature. It started 20 years ago when biden planted all his holding of 210 acres. He founded porto Forest Estates and initially just sold would pull it off so. We thought we could enter crop with food crops and keep it going by. Selling those food crops to generate short term revenue except that the community and the workers kept eating everything even before us was ready to generate more income he and his team had another idea they decided to propagate local plants and extract essential oils in 2018 they added eco tourism. During every tour visitors served up a typical kenyan dish that is made exclusively of local forest produce. 1000. 00 biden is also linking up with the local community in better heres hired several local chefs and told gods also work in his Laboratory Technician isaac could joe is in charge of producing the essential oils as well as Natural Cosmetics such as soap. Because up with. Natural source from the forest they tend to have less side effects and then the really how good they are very effective treatment for europeans you can really get a feel of the. Room from the plant and they have no side effects or anything whatever the oils are sold across the country including in the capital across retailers also provide interested costumers with detailed information about the product. On guided tours visitors hear about the companys mission future plans include sustainable Construction Projects for their eco Tourism Business this is because we want to reach cures. For pressure on the elvira took aakash question have to finish. Reading we want to reduce that and all from a clip from. Wellington biden attaches great importance to passing on is knowledge to the next generation. And now our main focus. The Experiential Learning Center where were going to teach people what we have learned over the last 20 years this is the only way that we come quickly disseminate what weve learnt because its all about training and empowering people to also go out there and do it themselves in that way biden spoke jacks provides an example to local residents showing how day 2 can make a livin some protect in the forests. A while lot of interesting reports with plenty of inspiration for ways to take better care over our planet thats all from it off because these time i hope youll enjoy the show as much as the hot i am sondra to no good signing off from kampala the next time sandra and for you our viewers if you want to find out more about the people on the project he profiles today visit us online and also check out our social media and to be sure to join us again next week well a new edition of eco africa im now its a way so long without from lagos nigeria.
