Area but. Its one that we do look forward looking for solution it is simple im. Also trying to convince the donors and also. The fund. To find. The one to come out we did. Not because he had also been working in myanmar in philippines we have done quite a lot of the. Involved in that intersect area so i think a lot of knowledge that you can we can share together everyday government of was and be and also mayor of. With a mayor as well to govern us part of the region are below the sea level already your background as Town Planning is the whole city city in your view under threat in the future i was a mayor before for seventy s. And my city s. P. D. And almost the same criteria as bera my city was sixty percent below or in the flood prone area below sea level and in my city in printing militia was here in twenty seventeen but of course its not so strong that my second thing we come back and look for solution for for a better planning for a better resilient Design Building maybe an hour. After d. Day did is just us we all do flood prone area with steel and then we look into the design of the building and reducing the local material and it must be affordable to the local people thirty a lot of things can be done we cannot we have to face this. Climate change and by doing some adaptation. Of course you can relocate everybody out of the area but we have to find ways to do at depth. Of Climate Change by using technology and using knowledge sometimes the Technology Isnt Occult and ology simple in my cities look at r. D. Because when we released it put on steel and we designed more resilient even the roof we designed be sure were here for we we studied or we do Wind Direction and for the last year because malaysia had monsoon. In november and december last year it was bringing. Into a lot of damage is very less so i think we improve year by year and from d. S. P. To india we see thank you very much. From Climate Change a sort of stay on the theme and go to togo now where one man has been working to raise awareness about preserving Natural Resources and using them with maximum efficiency heres the story of santa and his initiative young volunteers for environment its a Pan African Organization with representatives on the continent. These performances celebrate the environment the dancers costumes are made out of cocoa sacks from the region the annual festival called the cultural biodiversity weaker c. B. W. Has been held for fifteen years now. Its organized by environmental activists. In my language we say if you want to know me watch me done some listen to me sing. With song and dance my people express their attachment to the land and their respect for biological diversity. The guests at the festival are also offered a range of local scenes. The idea is to convince farmers in the area to grow native varieties. The season without warning we have a great diversity of local seeds in our region and we promote them because theyre more adapted to our climate unfortunately the farmers use a lot of cheap imported seeds which are not adapted to our soil and dont produce good yields. The people here in Southwestern Togo live from Agriculture Farming Grain Kosov or rice coffee and cocoa. But the ground has been depleted of nutrients and many farmers now use pesticides and chemical fertilizers on their crops. We use pesticides on crops. Like kid with a young because of. Otherwise the insects will destroy the leaves i need to use the pesticide at least three times for it to grow. The plants might grow faster but the pesticides pollute the ground water and the river say now luca remembers how much cleaner the environment used to be thats what motivated him to become an activist. You see how this field reaches all the way to the river water so the River Doesnt Breathe anymore it cant grow bigger and cant play its natural role of Climate Regulator and the Sediments Dont Nourish The Ecosystem here. But its not just about chemicals contaminating the Water Deforestation is another major environmental problem here. Every day i see whats going on as i have observed as a lation illegal logging. Some trees that are more than one hundred years old with great value for my people of being caught a disappearing and sometimes being sold for next to nothing. Luka wants to boost young Peoples Awareness thats why he plants trees with children if the c. B. W. Festivities. And that. We learned how to plant trees because we need them to live in our environment the forest is important because it gives us Life Rain Fruits and trees. And their support from the villagers in the evening older people talk to the Younger Generation to encourage them to care for the environment. Will be im very happy to take part in these meetings for example i learned today that in the past they didnt use any fertilizer and they still succeeded in having a great harvest by leaving the fields follow and i learned how to protect the forest of life which is you know well but. At the end of the week long festival the children perform a play. Or two sons talk to their father about deforestation and Climate Change. The cultural biodiversity we give them a chance to practice what will hopefully become a lifelong role that of protectors of the environment. And that is that when alpha is africa you can as always catch our stories on our website on facebook pages and talk to me on twitter at le seven i found out. I. Am not proud and i will not succeed in dividing us so that i will not succeed in taking the people off the streets because were tired of this dictatorship. Taking the stand global news that matters.
