But we are concentrating on solutions to the problem. Things like Renewable Energy sources. I am crystal, i am coming to you from nigeria. And this is what we have in store for you this week. Also driven much to and from jimmy will soon produce environmentally friendly cross products. And by the task of and you rope spanish authorities, ill come back to it. But trade in excel take what lies a photograph of ambers, the to the shows of how animal pull traits on the press 3 to protect the 1st 5 diversity. The energy translations can kind of feed africa in numerous ways. It eases dependents on the expensive climate damage and forcing feels on it brings energy to remote regions quickly and easily. It also opens up new opportunities to find those sorts itself tend to both systems. Currently, many african countries upgrading or expanding the end of the sectors. This tap is a life saver every day. It gives people from nearby villages clean war to something that can be taken for granted in this rural part of central ivory coast. So while i apollo possibly theres no water in our village because theres no, well, yep, thats why we come here to get the water. I mean, the little southward is tell jenny c for click on. So the water has to be pumped from the ground, but the area is off the electricity grid. Instead. Solar Energy Provides the power for the pump from small beginnings, 12 years ago. The settlement, which includes a Religious Center and the home for teenage girls now has full water towers and 24. 00 solar panels with a total output of 4500. 00 watts. Thats enough to power the Drinking Water lighting, refrigeration, and communications. Would it be that it can fill out in the beginning . There was only one unit test because there was only one house to supply. This one of quite a. Then came the girl center of monday and after that the settlement expanded to play with 3 new buildings, sweetheart and a little button. There were 2 more large buildings. And as time went on, we completed the installation. And thats why there are several Solar Panel Arrays here. Its not just ivory coast, rural of goods settlements, but also its urban areas that can benefit from Renewable Energy. The challenge is how to safely build up infrastructure and ensure reliable supply. In 2022 full professional associations joint forces to form a federation. So they could speak to the government with one voice. For example, when it comes to dealing with surface electricity, the sweat dont, we would just have stuff. We would like to see the sector authorized defeat electricity into the National Grid to come up with these when you werent able to consume all the solar energy you produce. And you cant diverted to the grid to lose out. And that reduces the added value of solar investments. And this is the amount of my goodness. So thats what pressing question for invest as, as ivory coast has pledged to increase the shape of renewables in its energy mix to 45 percent by 2030 in the north of the country. The wind, the solar farm, is the 1st of more than a dozen projects aimed at reaching that target. The 78 heck the facility overseen by the state on see, i, energys cost 40000000 euros. It was made possible by a loan from germanys k F W Development bank, and the ground from the european union. Some of the comb with aiming to produce 5100. 00 megawatts of electricity for cookies was including around 400. 00 megawatts of solar power. We have a number of projects with the private sector partners, but the bungee any power plant is the 1st to be built by the state. Building the power plant is expected to generate 37. 00 megawatts of power enough to supply 30000. 00 households per year. And such projects create more than just electricity. They boost employment. John says, although women under represented in the green energy sector, the German Development agency g i s, it has set up a mentoring program to count to that. This Energy Project manager has taken a young student under her wing and is helping her to find an internship. One of you have to take these courses seriously and make the most of them by asking lots of questions. The electrical engineer says she remembers what her career thought was like and really wants to see change in a certain dump. I mean, out of 15 engineers, i was the only woman thats already a problem right there, from what we need to raise awareness more generally to tell women that its possible to do this g from because its simple seem to fit 0 for the pro fed mentoring project names to increase the proportion of women in the Renewables Sector from 25 percent to 40 percent in the near future. Maybe you remember a report with the a few months ago about a co pay alex made the bush growth. Now, young people in month of glasgow working on the project to produce and fire, mentally friendly fuels from view new able sources. What are the same time stopping trees from being cut down . That is a crease. And the special thing about these projects is that German College students are quite a bright thing on the projects, the young people from both countries coming together to bring the project a step closer. How to make the most efficient growth pallet. Thats one focus. If unions, process must, is basis at the center of Innovative Energy systems that does sort of University Union is also working on cooking staves, to optimize the growth pellet fuel and help reduce deforestation and motor gasket to the condition where it fits into the cold. And then we can just deliver more efficiently, those to countries in the global south and say this will help a little and understand by them for what would only have a minimal effect on producing deforestation that. And thats why we said we also need to develop a more efficient alternative fuel. The original idea came from members of the monica, the students and environmental organization. As you pass, they constructed eco friendly, staves, and made fuel pilots from compressed across. The students then brought into local communities, protesting the students from gemini, sold the projects during your visit to madagascar. Im want you to develop it so that what kind of feel is in dire need and not a gasket. What deforestation has that a massive impact . Traditionally, people have cut down to use to make taco fuel for cooking. 6 now only 10 percent of the original 4 is cut the remains a devastating habitat last so many species on, on, on miss kansas glossy is widespread in southern madagascar. Wherever it enjoys rapid robust grace. Locals often done it to clear fields, a dangerous technique that causes many wildfires be occupied team identified midst comes across as a valuable resource and a source of income for residents. We are planning to make like a must see mass production of these uh pallets and at the same time, most production of the suspicious exposure that these uh, these uh, compatible with these uh pallets and the we are going to promote it in the whole country. The main line in germany, the students from difficulty university, aided by a local Vocational School set to work on designing a solar powered pilot factory designs to enable the mass production level, tentative fuel, and not a gasket shopping machine on hamilton, the grounds independent the 20th century can be dismantled to states into 2 shipping containments with adoption costs of some 70000 euros collected by a crowd funding all for if we just testing everything on the web, then to help build it, well send of a students who are working on the project on who are doing this thing sees on it, but yeah, martha, he is out today we worked with the school class to prepare the construction problem. For example, we pre drilled the roof from us. So the on site to assembly will be easier. That way we would have to do and drilling down this, we can just screw it together and off to them or solve missing the pilot factory is destined and done. And then go key. In southern mother gasket the site was chosen because of the abundance of mrs. Kansas across here on the full enough level one up in april. We normally start cutting and collecting grass again. So you see of law, this is the time when it grows everywhere. Yeah. But the payments, i mean, case it rains after weve gotten the crust in april and then well get a 2nd tom and you need to file the alive up until mid 3. Hundreds and the village will profit from this project were kids. Yeah. And people werent home the forest any made mity shoot on most it will be replenished with in this situation will improve have been has a 10 times and instead of getting a 35 quino bag of chuckle costs full year rates, the same amount of gross pilots just 3, which could help the new fuel cap shown. If we are successful out that the suffering mother ca, scott, then we are going to spread the plan to end the 2nd week in the whole country. So just a little if you need teen such a not for Profit Company to support the venture with the test phase successful. The pilot factory has been packed into the shipping containers and its expected to be set up in Mount Augusta in october to see what is all unique odorless substance. Dont quench is our thoughts helps us regulate heat on transport goods. We even fly to squeeze in slots of it because more and more people and also need access to these costs we saw sold from sandra, only 3 percent of the woods. What the result is, a drink about the rest, the selling agent polluted or an accessible evicted from, gone is drawing the attention to the value of this important results with an equally unique campaign. You but touch this book on his coffee made recycled swimsuit and ready to swimming over 11 kilometers as it has been, shall cover every day for 40 days. And thats an overall root of 450 kilometers. Passing along the volta river and then to lake volta, the Worlds Largest artificial reservoir. Its one of the few lakes and gunnar, that is so clean enough to swim and an activist in every business and type in a tetra as part of a scientific expedition thats seeking to draw attention to the pollution of gone as waterways so much of the reason that im part of this expedition and working with a cruise to do this research is because it is so encouraging and to amazing to be able to swim and simple to river like this. And i love to see other words from buddies and so on. And specifically across the, the swimming the again, started started competing against environmental collusion some 8 years ago. And thats when she came into contact with the Oil Foundation and Environmental Justice nonprofit, the organized expedition other members of the team also spend time on the water to take samples of various points along the route. Here we can see the color is very different from the rest of the water that weve been swimming along. So here is a green, its really changes. I mean, it depends on the places where we, uh, if we are close to villages, for example, we will be collecting some samples for back to a logical checks. If we are close to factories or industrial areas, we will be checking for heavy metals, for example. Like yeah, the other villages better, which now has a number of industrial sites like the sun, mind, the pollution and creates, has had a devastating impact on the local fishing industry. The area you still have lots of fish this. Yeah. The overall look good. Then all the fish are gone to is you know, up to san mining and the leg has destroyed our livelihood sign. A cool is yeah, local honey. Got. We are a fisherman. Again, thats how we make a living and assessing and defending. But now we even struggle to find enough fish to eat ourselves. And the guidelines. Augusta often on the Mining Industry is going to only harming the environment. It also makes the process of purifying Drinking Water, much more expensive the spectrum work that would suit about the settlement. And so the principle generally the book and more often done, anticipate so possible for meeting us on these forms also boost and the, the, the 2 of us will have to be back to our what time, what are we done most of what we use and thats just one problem, chemicals and ways from households in other industries. Also a good time they the water, long with many of 15000000 items of 2nd Hand Clothing Center gone every week. Over 50 percent of it ends up in huge weight feeds and across the good the Old Foundation is loving the government, but also wants to raise Public Awareness just how harmful the waste is. The important clothing waste in particular. So many people dont even understand that we have the 2nd until the thing coming from the level to the global south, or that there are other issues that are affecting the policy by water. So what we want to do is really hope to bring attention in awareness to the quality of the water and the issues that i play here to get people involved. This was the fact that the 1st 2 men contain is feeling tight but optimistic that one day given the laguna and across. Once again, the clean enough to swim in. In 2022 the you adopted a reverse action plan to come back to the legal trade in wide life. It includes stronger controls and strict sanctions if any animals are supported illegally from the country of all region. But on to the system takes full effect. Big, predatory cods reptiles, a red bed species continued to be brought to europe illegally on spain has become a gateway to wildlife smuggling heart is still in the wild. But now can you live within an enclosure spanish Animal Shelter near on a counter. The female clouded leopard is only 11 months old, which he has suffered greatly. A caregiver belly died is nursing her back to Health Clinic outside of the yellow. She was confiscated from a private owner who had neglected her. So that means she must have been poorly fed from the start and shes even gone blind. The private breeder now has to face the authorities for violating the convention on International Trade and endangered species. The east asian founded leopards is also an endangered species. So can you, is a rarity. Spain has become a gateway for a legally traded exotic species. The police often find them when inspect the ships arriving in a country or from the nearby continent of africa. Maria pay us their works for a special environmental crime units. Passenger luggage here that the airports, shes found birds, snakes, and torches. For another like its so sad. Left side topic will be so ruthless, people have no problems about tearing these animals from their habitat. No, not in treating them like twice when i say that im my being forwarded to this police video from september 2021 shows the liberation of a female chimpanzee who would be alone in a cage for 5 years. The illegal imports of protected animals are rising in 2022 smuggling into spain increased by more than half compared to the previous year. A full service and 3 minutes. Total organized criminals are often behind it at the end of 5 ability. Think of something that you need contacts in the country of origin to find the animals in. And you do need a network in europe to import them and they will seal this as a highly profitable business, vincent carrier. But if a monkey, for example, it might cost 5. 00 or 6 zeros in africa, and here it can fetch 2000 bureaus or more. He never, oh, includes so much. According to the World Wildlife fund, this Global Business is worth a billions. Sophia says the illegal animal trade comes a 3rd after drugs and weapons, but its impact is underestimated a to dinner and i think all the items im going to go to as arms trafficking and drug smuggling are taking more seriously. More effort is put into enforcement. Wiley and border funds, illegal animal trafficking is just a serious, but it isnt seen a search. Its not pursued and prosecuted as often that makes these crimes even more lucrative facilities. Dont have enough specialists to investigate properly. An animals are often rescued when its too late. As we can you the cloud of leverage the fact that they lost the yellow shes to use to people and shes blind in the wild. She would never be able to deal with her own species. She was raised in captivity. So shes condemned to a life in captivity and go through video, especially the vis illegal trade makes. Can you and many other wild animals like current products that lose their freedom forever. Whats a sad story . And many people dont even realize that the trade in exotic animals threatens the bio diversity in the places with those are the most come from but one man from December Community and can you just fight it against the white life tree . Exactly. Crease. Ambrose is on live stoke summit, but he does have a talent for photographing, and he wants to use his pictures to show that the varsity and the beauty of hes 90 region is all equal. He will be sweep a little to is a man of many talents. He knows exactly what hes doing. And the 30 year old canyon is also a talented photographer. He says he began taking pictures to help him better understand his environment. So the one thing that really put them into i live with the visa about about the washing. So i was wanted to take up the offer to hop a month. So like i able to identify that this has been able go conservancy and central can. Yes. Im listening to live works here off to studying Wildlife Management and conservation. Call it by taking photos of the many animals that live here. Ambrose hopes we can raise awareness of spc that a vulnerable for reason is dangerous. Many locals have seen his pictures and he often visits schools to talk to young people about the environment. What are the visions most of the like, elephant us, we left it out on the wonder if that that and, and the, the only thing that theyre gonna be able to use is for the program on the just attend. Im on the new officiated the out of the out that i didnt the out and they wanted to share this study. You need to of a photo what i feeling ambridge, but trees animals such as the african left. But that ad risk from poaching and lots of habits. Its. Hes even fountain red black liquids for the messiah photographer, the biggest subject to the big cats is Climate Change for minute, the plants spaces that disappearing. Yeah, just because of the claimants and that is maureens and just said yeah we, we the 5th, a very diverse did think i dropped on the on the i was i bank. So in the not be above, thatd be for die, then the low. But in the past where like, another threat is that locals have open killed liquids because they select and live stop, which is the livelihood of many people here. A, im bruces building understanding thats community level. These women used to cedar rapids as enemies. Now they work to protect them. As leopards attracts to wherever is. And that means drugs they call themselves to moments or liquid mom is we have come to understand the close of each one and then put them over it. Because now the formation of 3, my, my, us, me a little foods such as new sources of income. The womens collective mix jewelry and so on has now even built their own sense with the proceeds. This wild live kids results center in the middle of the savannah. What school founded by im bruce led to lie equipped with reading material and by not kaylas. These kids are on the safari today, the bud spotting and the trip is proving inspirational. Integrated the with selma who level now i want to educate people of the importance, im convinced them to still quote you all for fun. So now i know the children are also aware of the financial benefits of conservation. Given that if i am a customer, i would like to protect these animals because they help the country is going to change it so far, its always and brings us money. People come to see that i know and, and that generates revenue your best, so it helped improve peoples standard of living it to give me the name proof of simple if it was done. This is literally why says hes optimistic about the future because it seems that young people are becoming more environmentally aware that its a youd sent day. So youre just sending because i kind of would plan to say that im and so im going to just send that to learn about 12 day. Of course, i wont feed him to take a 4th about this particular, but on the line that he wont even know some names is pictures of the some plants that do funding this particular area and they know the use. So that is somebody that makes me happy. The local elephant population remains that consists in 2019400 of them were counted in the nearby lou sabbott conservancy. Bruce lets so do i hopes that hes what can help ensure a safe future for them . The time, just so by this week, so fast, it was great having you with us.
