A better place and not just for us humans welcomes eco africa. In Lagos Nigeria and heres a look at what we have lined up on the show today. Parties are fun but really how is another mans a clever complex he spends you the trouble. In mali solar power is helping people to realize their dreams without having to be home. And in ghana a mobile app is making Waste Management more efficient a lucrative for people whose livelihoods depend on. Our 1st report showcases one of the worlds greatest Waste Disposal services im talking about one are provided by vultures this scavengers are not only willing they are eager to do the dirty work of cleaning up caucuses found in the wild they are about 23 different species of the bird across the world but sadly far too many of them on the threat and that is a problem because vultures the vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy which makes them well worth protecting lets take a look. At the health of africas 11 vulture species are teetering on the brink of extinction the environmental and g. N. A. T. Kenya has been observing developments in east africa its distressing because without these scavengers dead animals would rot wherever they dropped and that set in china each a shish which is a very much important. Cleaning the environment we call them the. Undertaker the clean the environment all the dead carcasses and by doing this they stop the spread of diseases diseases like rocks. And all that nature kenya introduced a Vulture Conservation Program and them asylum are a nature reserve in 2014 its a mystery spread awareness of the crucial role vultures play. This group of must side work is nature kenyas vulture ambassadors they explain to villagers when a dead cow all going to spoil well i grew chemicals in order to kill creditors that threaten their livestock all of the animals that feed on the cac poison in that includes a lot to vultures so as i to volunteer. My region for example in my location i usually go take some data on sunday when other conflicts when there is a conflict but before its place and we we actually sometimes take the carcasses of those. Lost or kill animals and we put them aside and you can. Actually talk to the or know the animal not always with. Support from villagers and their leaders is key to the n. G. s campaign the system chief of one village tells us that battles between humans and animals are only going issue in the area. There is a lot of conflict. Or leopards people who are also getting killed by elephants and lions. Are presenting a serious challenge for us here a bit of a conflict incident where i need to be there. But too often the main victims of these conflicts are vultures and thats the environmentalists message to put an end to the agonizing that nature. Kenya also cooperates with the mara reserves ranges. I think the biggest challenge is the issue of reporting. Cases of poisoning we normally dont get a lot of reports from the community because they know that its a crime and so a lot of this case is the go unreported. But reporting the cases would get becomes evasion is the chance to save the birds thats why keeping Communication Channels open is important. The operative. Basically talking we discuss because we dont assume that they dont know they know something so what we do is to add on a dividing line and basically to create. Also supported by bird Live International the program is focused mainly on east africa because thats where vulture death rates are especially high the campaigns push to improve the exchange of information is now starting to yield results were getting reports on not human to live conflict and also responses to. What voices please and and by these some voters have been sent because there is. A poison in response protocol that is being followed. Case off in me or poisoning incident this year and International Initiative was launched with the goal of reducing vulture moats alice in africa by 50 percent within the next decade. But for it to work its vital that the local communities are also on board. And now from the birds to be like vultures beings are also in danger toxic pesticides used in agriculture are causing them to die off i dont president at rates one start up has come up with a neat idea to help these important pollinators companies 3 founders develop an insect friendly flossy admixture that you dont need to plant theyve created a combustible confetti that can simply be thrown into the whip its not only easy its fun to just take a look at this weeks your but. When humans gather to celebrate they often present confetti to liven up the party. But for many bees and other insects the party is over. Due to industrial agriculture many of the plants they need to survive are being lost. Philip via wants to get beans a helping hand. So he and some friends have created biodegradable confetti made from stanch. They add to the mix seeds of 26. 00 local flower species. The entrepreneurs hope that happy humans will toss the eco friendly confetti and urban areas thereby creating additional foraging options for beings and other insects. We can trade during a celebration. And that means that for the human celebrate and then the nature. Of fun and delightful way to preserve biodiversity. And how about you if youre also doing your best tell us about it can visit our website post said to us a tweet. Hash tag doing your best so. We share your story. Wow what a wonderful idea. For the environment thats a good one but lets move on to another great green idea eco friendly Construction Projects that are also designs to cope with the threat posed by Climate Change rising sea levels are making headlines everywhere but particularly in places like the netherlands where a quarter of the country already lives below sea level some architects enough of them thought it would make sense to build a floating houses the results are pretty impressive thats it. Living on water in the City Center One day more than a 100 people live on this site can now in amsterdam. Model schmidt and his wife yvonne van sock among the 1st residents. To this lynch confusion of its a different way of life here least not the slightest. The waters parkinson reflects everywhere. And now exactly it actually seems more extreme. Youre closer to nature when the wind blows and you open the door a gust of wind will come rushing into your face so everything arrives pretty directly here. This is one of a total of 30 buildings which are part of the project from strip amsterdam each building has its own design. Have one thing in common they float on special concrete rafts fastened on to pillows this Swimming Foundation needs to be able to carry several 100 tons and must therefore be balanced precisely by architects like. Up front you have to go every thing that you put on the boat how heavy it will be because if you put in too much. Weight it will be too low and the water starts to come in so thats why we make a lot of calculations front how heavy the boat will be 20 different architects were involved in the project the houses were built on land and then brought to the dock. Sustainability is particularly important to the inhabitants short trip translates into clean she wanted to achieve is to show that you can live water with very sustainable houses and in a Sustainable Way in the sense that we as a community so we had 3 high levels of what we wanted to show. To the world actually. Like all the buildings appeared right so house is supplied with produce solar power are sustainable and eco Friendly Materials we used for the houses the facade of the rocks is made from cork. You had loads of discussions with a whole group and we had help from different. Materials so we ended up with a list a green orange list and the red list wreckless was a no go orange was ok if you really have to because of cost reasons or technical reasons but prefer to use only materials from the greenest. On the green list and we liked it very much showed it was our choice to do so. Living on water has a long tradition in amsterdam how space can be seen on almost every canal. One of the 1st flushing districts was built a couple of years ago in the district of. 50 houses on artificial heart and its now the trend is arriving in the european cities in london for example where british architects backup plan in flushing homes in the royal docks copenhagen has responded to a lack of Affordable Student Housing with the socalled. 12 floating houses designed by star architect. B. Archangels doesnt shy away from even greater visions of Floating City for 10000 people in regions threatened by Climate Change. In amsterdam demand is on the rise too i think theres a really big potential building on the water we see we have some requests for all over the world from new yorkers looking to live on the water belgium or in the netherlands there are several areas where they are building houses and communities over 5202200 houses even. For yvonne van saga this vision has become a reality 150 square meters 2 floors a roof garden almost like a house in the countryside. But there is one difference their home. Yes it was a little weird 1st he still hadnt killed 6 yet but i did have a day where i sure i need to set foot on some solid ground for pasteboard. Its a small price to pay for their dream of living on water. If you are a regular viewer of our show you know that lots of people in africa do not have access to electricity its not just that they cant turn on the lights on the flip of a suite electricity also drives business and without it people are deprived of valuable opportunities many results vying diesel generators but of course they arent environmentally friendly how much better if the electricity comes from a renewable source one startup from germany is bringing solar power into remote areas. And bali thats it us. Residents in the village of syrup in southwestern mali are getting ready to welcome visitors the village has never heard electricity now thats about to change thanks to toast and shriver and his wife aida. Theyre the founders of a Company Called africa green tech they arrived to great fanfare. Now. They come to neighboring solar power plants to remote villages in the south whole region. Everyone here has been looking forward to this day for a long time. This is also a life so it is such a relief to finally achieve this and make it possible for the people here. This is taken nearly 9 months of preparation when the moment finally comes where you know now its happening tomorrow theyll be like its a great relief. While the village is celebrate the my. Ali in technicians from africa green tech set to work right now go rock. That theres lots to do before the lights can go on well after the long journey every component needs checking the containers spent 6 months at the Customs Office followed by a long drive lasting many days over sunday rhodes the solar system costs 150000 euros the hope is it will strengthen the local economy. And offer the effort to make a solar plant like this worthwhile you need a village with at least 4 to 5000 residents we also look very closely at whether theres potential for a productive use of electricity unlike home solar Power Providers our focus is on strengthening small and medium sized businesses so we want to know are there carpenters and welders and tailors here and we look for 40 or 50 small and medium sized businesses. There i need a schreiber was born in mali. Shes particularly keen to help the women here many of them sell goods she wants them to benefit from the new supply of electricity to. Them and i want to give them an example and i realize the dream of the city most of the problems that the women here have stem from the fact that they have no access to education. As a result theyre much more focused on having children and the birth rates go up and up. Half a green Africa Greentech does this offer them an opportunity to receive training and improve their chances of earning money its a decent if the economy in the village improves the residents will also have more money to invest in their childrens education so beyond providing electricity its also about improving the villages prospects. In the village of 5. Either way thats already evident here a solar plant from africa green tech has been operating for 2 years now and the local economy is flourishing. Kaito runs a restaurant on the main road that leads to martys capital bamako he also has a workshop and a chicken farm. In. The before i was already on my way to spain but when i heard that electricity was coming to julie but i came back and opened this restaurant and thank god im now earning enough for all of. This to my cater has also created jobs providing a secure income for many other families in the village. That haider and thorstens keep contact with customers like my cater to learn from their experiences his successes confirmation that theyre on the right path. Back in syria coral the work is nearing completion the last few streetlights are being picked up some who were previously undecided now want to sign a contract with the company as they see things are really happening. So leave wife sells vegetables and poultry so he wants electricity in his house. Signed a contract because i want to buy a fridge and. Then my wife will be able to keep her produce fresh for longer and get a better price for it. My children will be able to study better and life here will be safer. Customers do have to pay for the extra city but it costs a lot less than power from the diesel generators that is so widespread in africa. It takes about 15 years for the company to get the money back on its investment 18. 00 solar containers are already up and running including one in the neighboring new shares for more are on their way to africa. One of. What motivates us as founders is wanting to make a mark bring change and inspire others to follow suit for me personally helping the environment is key i want my children to know that i had least tried to change things and didnt just watch as everything got worse. Towards evening everything is finally setter. The control systems for the batteries are tested one small to ensure there would also be power when it gets dark but. When the engine is shut that the that was an important moment if the Storage Systems werent working that would have been it but now we can produce a light.
