welcome to this new edition of echo africa. hello everyone. i am sandra. twin, are you here in kampala, uganda? well chris, i'm looking forward to hearing more about those beauty enhancing trees. but of course, that's not all we have in store for you to day, and a here is what else is coming up. how a simple invasion is protecting harvests in wonder why the french fishermen are skeptical about wind energy and how a 10 year old kid is fighting for healthier planet. we stopped our show with ivory coast like some of its neighboring countries, ivory coast as last model, 3 quarters of its forest, or by the last 50 years. more remote john, good areas are still home to a number of primary species, some of which are in danger. of extinction. research is there are interested in more than just observing the bogus. they also want to get local people on board to protect both them and the environment. but it's not such an easy task with a credit clinical. if it's not a current, it means we are close. it sounds like loose warning or something moving he relies on instincts that once helped him as a hunter. but now he is focused on saving the animals monkeys, in particular, using his knowledge of the tearing to support observation mission. i'm a lot of good to. if you go through the forest, you can find the excrement lake. what we saw here and you can tell what species it belongs to typical individual 6 different species of monkey live in the tannery forest, and se every coast. among them is the runaway, a critically indentured monkey that only font here over the last 50 years, every cost has lost more than 80 percent of its forest cover due to poaching and monoculture. tandoori forest is one of the few areas still remaining. it was it survival to its remoteness surrounded by swamps. it's difficult to access for a good part of the year. the $12000.00 acre area is a vital life's was for endangered primates. the scientific mission deployed to observe them was set up by the swiss center for scientific research to preserve the forest and monitor changes you more do well by a monitoring mix. it's possible to know where to invest more effort in forest conservation because in one place there are more animal species in another place. they are more human activities, that delta and lay up with that today when there is such as try to raise awareness in local villages. here they are teaching people to plant a new high yielding variety of cassava. because if the villages have enough to live on, they won't need to look for resources in the forest. a group of local women agreed to join a conservation and development association. more ok if you had any i as global. yeah. when i sell the cassava a put the profit i make in the associations fund if the forest needs it to pay for conservation walk, or if someone is sick, we then draw on that money. so it's used for both the forest and the people who need it. clearly i via work as an woke, look at the beauty i f e. the m is that 10 percent of the income goes to forest protection to pay the monitoring teams. the researchers have succeeded in convincing 11 villages to join in a long logo book. in the long run, the population themselves should be able to maintain these activities even if we are not there. and so we are teaching them to make the monitoring itself sustainable. a lot less, you little spot l ma'am. for the team. the stakes are high. they are trying to track down a species that was thought to be extinct. it's known as miss wal drones read columbus, the last one font citing of the prime. it was in the late 19 seventy's until unfortunate discovery in 2008. a hunter had shot one. this photo is the only image the scientific community has. local residents say they can hear the monkeys cries. there is such as place cameras in the trees. if the monkey were finally found, it would be a wild fast. oh god, la jesus says, no scientist has ever studied this monkey because it has never been filmed in its natural environment, the and no photos in its natural environment. if we discover the monkey in this forest, we will study to try to understand his biology and behavior. sure. one of you reviews on campus tomorrow. how many of the monkeys may still be alive? has the miss world runs red columbus interbred with other species? has it developed solitary habits, the plenty of questions for the researches back in the city of abilene? it's a mystery that they one day hope to solve. in the meantime, the community management certainly seems to be paying off in the forest. i'm in ruffles, monday through our capacity building we have a bit more impact than what it is being done elsewhere. and in this respect, our project is increasingly recognized as a model of its kind. alicia, the 11 villages involved in the project now belong to the same conservation and development association, and monet away. i actually believe it's president. in his own field, he have decided not to cut down any more trees. his experimenting with a girl for his tree growing oranges. krakow and coconut trees in the forest. it now generous most of his income. i remarked my, this is my retirement when i'm no longer here. my children will see that their father has done something constructive and they won't hunt what'll they live on anyway, as hotels require the crushes, the villagers and researchers recently applied to have the forest declared the abilene to re nature reserve. now they're just waiting for the presidential decree to make it official where more is taught now to the neighboring country of gonna it's to struggle with deforestation. john, those last almost 20 percent of its forest cover says 2000. it's a very to friends. indeed, it is, crease and the reasons for that are too many trees not only limit global warming by storing cabin, they also give shelter to the animals and other plans. and that is not all left standing trees can also help people make money in a sustainable way. ha, now the shade tree is called the tree of life here in northern garner. not surprisingly, so more than 600000 women are processing shane nuts in the west african country. by was i eda helps out today. it was her family's livelihood derived from shay nuts that enabled them to send her to university. we can either use them and make better activates or process it through and fail it in this way. so me, in my community most were me the pain as their livelihood. ganna is the largest exposure of unrefined shade but her but the source of income for many women is under threat trees or cut down in large numbers for firewood or to make charcoal. mm. the good news is the global shade alliance and network of shape businesses aims to plant 10000000 shade trees across garner and other african countries, and also protect for 1000000 hector's of shape park lands. ah, sure, the companies want to secure their profits in the future, but at least they restore nature and protect the livelihoods of those who rely on the tree of life. and how about you? if you are also doing your best, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. past eg doing your bit. we share your stories. harvest time is the most in 20 times over the year for the farmers and noticed in africa bought. it can be difficult to store serious or mays securely. if conditions are to dump, the grain can wrought and spoil the entire yield bought. this may be less of an issue in the future. a young run, an inventor has come up with an efficient way to solve the problem and what's even better. it is environmentally friendly. and guess what? we went out and met him. one size has been harvested, it needs to be tried for farmer or darcy have been. is that in his family? that process can be just is exhausting. is the actual harvest, but it's vital if the rice is in tried to quickly enough. it starts to go moldy. and develop toxins which are carcinogenic and can even be lethal. so every day for weeks on end, they have to lay the rice out in the sun. it takes about a month to drive 5 tons of rice. or to report level will be with the most difficult to dry our crops with this method, especially when it rains wanna work. during the harvest, we lose a lot of time because we have to dry when the sun is shining locals in work and it takes us many days like it, or the promotion. if we had drying machines, we could save time and dry our crops efficiently and avoid losing produce to will not many other farmers have the same problem because mold doesn't only affect rice. it's also a problem with other types of grants, such as corn, also known as maze. but trying machines are expensive. latiere 2020. when we hover to the alarm aid to terms of miss under lot more than 30 tons because of a photo theme. because it, it was heavy running calendar time, we didn't have any system just to use to dry our maze and just talk in the appropriate to it in the, from a came across young, interpret theory shimmer through a report in the local newspaper. the train environmental engineer developed a small, portable drying machine. he has now 3 such devices. he and his team bring them to the farmers and set them up on the site will use on some width. so it's like of the pushing miss. these miss clubs, which ad use very rejected and sometimes thrown away. they are the ones that we bought, that we sort of one. and then at that time in that generated from is clubs. now they're used for drying. the machine emits hardly any cup and dioxide. so it's more environmentally friendly than conventional green dryers that run on diesel, the portable devices, kendra rice, cohen or beans. not only are the easy to assemble the service cost less than half the price of worrying a diesel powered dryer. the former piece, teary shimmer, the equivalent of $180.00 euros to dry. his 15 ton harvest. it's such a success. the company has been in undated with orders in this harvest season. at least 60 farmers are still waiting for his team and they are more by dryers. while working for indians were facing at the moment his lake rail got that one, which is quite, he has and was opera as a morning. and i do that with more effort form the mission, double this to show us government previously called out. we can have the hands of a solution, the vista villain, it start up how supports youngin tapping noise. and not just by helping them to set up a company, we started tapping into ways in which we kind of what input inhibition in terms of corporate partnership, but also on linking him to the different stakeholders. and through this, we saw a tremendous interest from this differently called the one to walk, repeating the one to support in santa the stat up also received funding for a new prototype. what looks a bit like a pinball machine is, in fact, a dryer, that harnesses the power of the sun, thanks to a special coating on the base. the air in the lower section heats up to 40 degrees celsius, even on days when it was cooler. that allows 50 kilos of corn to be dried in the top section in just 3 hours. the carbon neutral dryer is set to hit the market in 2022. we're heading to europe now to france, although the country is heavily reliant to nuclear power. the fastest growing source of energy is renewables increasing by almost 3 percent player hydro. paula is the predominant renewable source, but now france has big plans to hon is with pop off until on to coast. does right sandra, but not everyone is equally emphasis. the cabal, the project locals, bank turbines, high above the preston waters, would be a blocked all the landscape. and the affairs go much deeper. a storm against wind energy is brewing. it is 5 in the morning in the town of our key and brittany boundary. mongolia has to start early because there's a storm forecast for mid day. the fisherman and tourist guide wants to show us the drilling ship that is preparing the holes for wind turbines off the coast. because another 3 and 4 kilometers. so the ship is set to drill, 190 holds up to 60 meters deep for over 60 offshore wind turbines. guy, yahoo is worried that the construction work on the c bad will destroy the local aquaculture as if you thought of her. if were you hearing some broom, we mostly fish for scallops. feller to valuable food, but if this is no longer possible, because the scallops are inedible, many fishermen will go bankrupt for that is scary with fish. i just bought a new fishing boat last year for the generous supplies of sea food and fish. here are partly due to the fact that for decades the local fishermen have agreed to limit the amounts they catch. they fish sustainably. that makes it all the more bitter for fishermen like julian tail, felt that some of them are already feeling the negative effects of the drilling work room hours. so they gave you the lobsters hide on their stones and big boulders, doors, and cases where there is sand and rock depresses it. but recently a big machine moved the blocks and put them in a different place. any okay, that the lobsters that have been there for years have fled, is repulsed ursula, the impact of my business will be traumatic. someone autopay is on its website. however, the spanish operator praises the project as a means to provide environmentally friendly energy. oh, the company has the support of the french government, which ignores the criticism from local fishermen. the government has even issued the operators with a number of special permits that override species protection regulations. the transition to renewables is underway regardless of whether or not citizens protest . the french wind energy association has made a simple calculation reunion for this unique. this is the only lab wind turbines produce renewable and c o. 2 neutral energy that at all of his shore in everything . so france wants to be carbon neutral within 30 year stopper is that is not possible without wind power. and because if it's it have horse. this is total in our key. even environmentalists oppose the wind turbines. they say the location is completely unsuitable for a wind park. and catalina pujol says the 20 meter tall turbines will ruin the unspoiled coastline, said grandma, escape scandalous to ruin such a beautiful ocean panorama and turn it into an industrial landscape. settlement at this bay is under environmental protection that include the coast and the see all the way out there. on my printer, the ship has only drilled very few holes and sombre you bay over the past weeks. the project is far behind schedule. to make matters worse, oil has contaminated the bay during the operation. the drill simply can't get through the hard rocks below. oh, so you can all go the when you see how slowly this project is progressing is nice. it is clear that it will be some time until the wind park has completed yet. we have granite until the right rock had to reboot. brittany's nature simply rejects these offshore wind turbine ice is your general, they are the local fishermen simply cannot believe that the project is still going ahead and there certain that ultimately they will win the fight against the wind turbines. here on a co op rico, we are in supporters of environmental campaign as you're probably familiar with gritted to greg the young. so as it's climate activists begun, the climate strike when she was just 15 years old. and there is also my poem pockets venison. apathy. he is also part of the fried his full feature movement and was a student when she started her career as a climate activist. millions of young people around the world. how full it. they example, including through mario from south africa. oh, memory valentine loves to come here to the aquarium. he's been interested in underwater worlds ever since he portrayed an occur in a school play about waste and marine life 4 years ago. he might well be south africa's youngest environmental activist, angered by the trash on the beach is near his home. the 10 year old has organized 200 clean up operations with the help of his family. and he leads, by example, i turned into a plan to see did not, let's say psycho lee, you only might be a day to day re. mario valentine is visiting or shaka marine world to see marya joins seater, so that was washed up on shore. injured. she's a young fellow, very lovely if you look at this liver and you can see it's moving, it's not as long as the other 5. it happens a lot to animals in the world and it is pollution myers front flipper was entangled in plastic waste and needed surgery. and after that my as recovered from the past declares around leper. i'm also sad how people have been caching that be with pollution and pollutants and everything. and this needs to be said, so please sac with the plan. he posts about activities like planting trees with school kids from surrounding communities on his social media channels. during the cop 26 climate conference, he sent a message to fellow environmental activists in glasgow. saving birds is were mario valentine's latest passion in south africa, more than 50 bird species of threatened with extinction. i love their beautiful m colors and fears. i even love the beak, how they come out. the eyes did just so beautiful to me. memory ballantine paints the birds and natural settings as he would like to see them wild and free his partial to one species in particular. that african great parents are critically endangered, so i raise the weirdness so they can be in a safe place. for his 10th birthday, he organized the perfect gift for himself with a crowd funding campaign supported by people around the world. he helped create his sanctuary for the parrots, every penny hen in all that, the land usa deforestation ho. his family guides and encourages his desire to protect the environment. though his mom says balancing public appearances with schoolwork is a full time job. by raising awareness of these bads, we can incorporate world leaders and other children, these age or even younger, to and parents as well to initiate these programs where they can teach their children in a positive way. but i think the schools around the world need to do more for the environment to teach the children. the african grey parrot campaign generated over a 1000 euros in donations. the money went to birds of eden, a free flight aviary for rescued pet birds. near kate town, the centuries own is happy about the contribution it will help with the upkeep of a new aviary built specially for african grace. a lot of threats in industry that sitting in people's houses and lot of older birds because of the growth, of course grow through 607080 years old. so they, when you take her african rosa pete, they sit in their cage for many, many years. since the new aviary opened about a year ago, 100 african greys have been saved from a life of being confined to a cage. back at the huge aquarium in durban, totally experts melanie pacer has told ra mario valentine all about maya's rescue. if she's impressed by the young activist who wants to know every little detail about giant sea turtles, i find an incredibly inspiring that a child at 10 years old makes a conscious decision to make a difference in the world. and it's important to create that connection. everybody needs to know that every little bit helps. whether you do one beach clean up, as he said, all i choose one less draw. every little thing we do does make a difference. seeing you listen, washing up every day, doesn't dissuade mario valentine. he aims to organize a 1000 piece cleanups with school kids from in and around durban and reciting. firms have even offered to take the trash and we process it. it's sunk ripple i to him, doug. this also for the future of our planet. that's all for this additional reco obrigone. i hope you enjoy the program and i've learned some for new that you can put into practice to benefit your own community where you live. for now, i am 1st alone signing up from lagos, nigeria, scene ix time piece, and it's all of you of yours. we do encourage you to send us
