environment. but nature has its own forms of climate protection. for example, sale actually captures huge amounts of upon your site and with not welcome to a new episode of if africa, i am thunder tween over you reporting from compiler. here in uganda, everything is from lagos. i have chris a lamps and i'm happy to join my colleagues sandra as your host for the next half hour. these topics are we to you. how to women a south africa, not protecting endangered bras. lance are more and more tiny for us to spring it up in germany and how to leisure is making fish and more sustainable. or recent studies show that maze, collard greens and tomatoes from kenya are often groomed using highly hospitals pesticides that poses a big risk to humans, animals and the environment. food and environmental and jewels in kenya have been calling for government ban on the pesticides. the drop legislation is still under consideration by their efforts already bone fruit elsewhere prompting some producers on fertilizer industry to help a rethink and come up with more sustainable alternatives. ah, the produce has to be harvested quickly. customers in europe won't green groceries in winter to weather bees. chillies herbs are fruit. most of what is going on. he miller farm here in nairobi is destined for export for a long time. why? cliff or cooling operated a conventional farm use in chemical pesticides? he's making fundamental changes, bit by bit and converted into organic methods. we will discover debris. we cannot run on it and not you or were doing that. that is no time food to our customers. so that to a we, we are trying to get into organic farming. so he already started with the some few crops at the farm. we want to see our fight. they're going to take that but sofa read, read, read, read the war to react to the from his greatest concern is seen harvest, destroyed by france, disease or parasites. so he's drawing on the expertise of robin seen ron yen g, whose firm rule organics develops organic fertilizers and pesticides. the men are currently trying now to paradox, intended to combat pest sped in fest mays. so i will um, has embraced organic products like this popped up on top delisa for you for the lasers, not even a pe said butter. it has the ability to suffolk, its best to death. like you can see, i'm holding some ma mrs. here which was infested by the fall, i'm on under, we have just done an experiment on them and they have they decently. and that's without the use of any chemicals. one solution for tackling for amy warm is made off. rabbit urine crop oil concentrates and co cannot extract once the ingredient some mixed, the solution is ready for application. growing demand has led to an increase in the amount of organic farming land in kenya. according to the canyon organic agriculture network, 173000 hexes of land, i've already been certified as meeting organic standards. kenya's parliament has been discussed in the ban on hazardous pesticides for some time. many of the pesticides still used in kenya, the prohibited and farms in europe. he is a go the same time, the e u is continuing to tighten up the up and limits the chemical residues committed in food. making conventionally grown vegetables harder to sail there. yet the government is skeptical whether organic farming is possible in kenya, on a large scale part of the gap. it requires good, a good practice, of course, that improve so health, but also protects human health. and so we have to define that balance. and sometimes things like organic lasers are getting for delays that may be good for small one, it got to it guys probably me and that you can talk about getting for the later is not feasible. you can produce enough of it to be able to city as fleming enterprise in the country. i've never seen it being done anywhere, but this fight all the challenges. agricultural practices and kenya are already being transformed more and more farms, especially smaller ones that go in organic, helped with training from experienced expert our trade by or under mazda 3 not. and i'm finding that business not to be very bad because i can produce from my home. i've even for a market like this one who area id call you or garrick farmers market in ny robi may still be small and it only takes place once a week, but word is already getting around about this chemical free vegetable that for more and more customers they grew up with a lot of sophia and they do, i usually even refer some of my friends going to do some of my friends to be coming here every sunday. and they do come, he, me little farm is watching the development with great interest. this could mean a new source of income, very close to home, to and prevent really good to fully into organic. i mean, because we're to have also discovered is that these are you'd market for the organic product. if kenya goes ahead and outlaws many hazardous pesticides, this could boost the growth of the organic farming sector nationwide. it's great that farmers and kenya are changing their approach. a grown brittany initiative is underway, gemini, to space is of precious commodity in these densely populated country. this weeks doing your bit segment shows it's crucial to make to most of what you've got. ha, nothing but concrete. wherever you look. it's a sad reality in many cities. but it is possible to create micro forests in urban settings. this daycare center on the outskirts of berlin is doing just that. the saw was 1st analyzed in a lab to see which areas would need enriching with humans and activated charcoal that helps the trees thrive unless space. here 3 saplings are planted on one square meter, much closer than usual. lucas bearing a once to see a lot of tony forrest's planted in germany. we hung about sponsored for she'd in a ball. we selected 20 types of trees and shrubs based on a vegetation analysis under them is that they're all native species on, but we want to try and recreate what happens naturally in a mixed forest up through an escape oxygen which so that we also get different levels of vegetation office in the car must lay on a more of a shrug, lay and 2 main lines of trees on when it's why i help bomb shift, he set up the meal organization to develop these tiny forests. it's named for the japanese man who came up with this method. akita, milwaukee, funded by donations $600.00 saplings, with a total of $15000.00 heroes will be planted here at the daycare. the organization created its 1st micro forest, 100 kilometers north of berlin. after just one year, the bushes are bearing fruit. there are more insects to without of these young foresters, it's hoped a new many forest will soon flourish here too. ah, and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it. visit our website, or send us a tweet. patch tag doing your bit. we share your stories. those ecosystems can absorb and store huge amounts of couple and your site. well, not your cub. one syncs a key in the fight to cobb global warming. santas said mitchell can't do this massive job on its own. so, improving agriculture practices could be a big help. we need to remove billions of tons of c o 2 from the atmosphere, fast the technology to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at the source of its production. so it can be reused or stored already exists but it's not that simple. a potential often don't play out as big as the anticipated. so there's still a lot of and research needed. also, we don't know, am i how well we can really skate it up while it's still being cheap enough that it's worse and it's these 800 cheap on the other hand, do a good job without even trying simply grazing. they help promote soil carbon storage without expensive technology. thanks to their work. humorous forms in the soil and humans consists of 60 percent carbon. the sheep are one element in farmer tino lose overall concept. while most farmers leave their fields fellow after the harvest, he's shown several catch crops. one year was as they grow, they bind further c, o 2 in the soil than it was important one, the into cropped starts to fly. all the power goes into the flower as it were nearer and pulls out the nutrients that it previously stored in the soil. and also the been to prevent this, the sheet now come into play. it was manipulate, a grays in this area, and their urine and excrement fertilizes the field for us and equality to that sequence in our goth. 8 years ago the farmers switched to regenerative agriculture, mainly because of climate change. longer droughts alternating with short, heavy rains, made it impossible for him to continue conventional farming. to day he mainly uses natural fertilizers and doves without his plow because plowing destroys the human layer. and let's the seo to escape again. there are still very few farmers in germany. you work this way, yet in arable farming, small changes have a big effect. you could increase the size carbon by leaving a more re cities on the fields, but also by a know a low tillage, which would lead to less disturbance in the size. and therefore, unless of a decomposition by the microbes of the plant material that is left on side trees are the best known carbon reservoirs. but world wide forest just under threat though, often illegally cleared or destroyed by pests and fires over the past 30 years. more than 4 percent of the world's forests have been lost that way and more still being destroyed than re forced it from all the nitrous oxide, natural solutions forests are the ones that are probably have the largest potentia . this is simply because it's large areas that potentially could be as far as that . and forests have a rather high carbon density, so not of carbon per square meter. pete lands also bind c o 2, up to 44 percent of the carbon sequestered in soil world wide is stored there. but in germany alone, more than 90 percent of the country's p lands have been drained for agriculture. but if moisture is removed from a bog, the peat bog dries out and carbon dioxide escapes into the environment. in the long term experts are considering re wedding germany's pete lands su to accumulation of p glance, is something that occurs at the time scale of centuries. which is obviously not quick enough for the solutions we need here. tina rills, regenerative agriculture with his sheep and catch crops works faster. good soils smells a little like carrots. he says proudly. the growing human layer ensures a loose soil, so rainwater can penetrate and it's stored by the roots. he gone from water and my toll was said that roots warm soil and soil forms plants. that's the way it is here . if you reach in, it has a crumbly structure, goodness, latoya, here you see flags, the root of the flax and the whole root network will give late on and roots act on the ground like the steel reinforcement in concrete, which strengthens a structure. i'm the owner, and it's the same with the soil, was woocommerce, the fortunate isn't born australia. about half of the human slayer worldwide has been destroyed in recent decades due to intensive farming. tina ruth wants to get more farmers interested in his approach and promote it on his instagram channel. ah. in the southern hemisphere mangrove far so, particularly effective in store in carbon experts estimate the benefit at more than $65000000000.00 per year, primarily as coastal protection against erosion. and as a nursery for fish, they have a very high carbon density. so a lot of carbon per square meter of mangrove forest. a lot of that is in the said immense, not just in the biomass, which makes sense looking at the mangrove forest. it's not, i'm all that big compared to a tropical rainforests like that. but in the sediments in the soil that they keep their, with their roots, that can be a lot of carbon stored. there is no one natural carbon st, extracting carbon dioxide, out of the atmosphere. but nature provides us with a number of options. and 1st and foremost, we need to reduce our c, o, 2 emissions. well, for us, all important come on seats up to 40 percent of the odd salons is covered with grass land. these under appreciated biome is an important source of protein and stores. come on as well. unfortunately, some of the expansive grasslands in south africa's eastern cape are threatened by mining erosion and oval gracie. i have a pool as a needy lakehoma. dabilla is happy, she just sold 3 of her cows, will be equivalent of over 1000 euros. she's a single mother and the mobile cattle options organized by environmental and world solutions are a godsend. this auctions identical for us on the right hand side us because we don't have transport to take our doctor the slight fulfilling they come to us. and some, sometimes you do negotiated the price if we're not satisfied. in the past, small houses in south africa, grasslands could only buy from and sell to their neighbors. the big capital auctions were held much too far away. the environmental and rural solutions or ers organization launched the auctions in 2014. since then, $3800.00 cattle have gone under the hammer for a total of $1700000.00 euros. that benefited more than $500.00 families. a cattle bred here on the grass lands are renowned for their excellent quality, an environmental scientist, nikki mcloud, and soil scientist li pallet's assisi montela founded ers 20 years ago. oh, and how often do you think the cattle auctions are just one part of a wider scheme to promote sustainable practices in rural areas? where are much of the grasslands has been badly degraded? the fragile ecosystem has been jeopardized by over grazing and mismanagement. the grasslands covered 10 percent of south africa, but supplied 60 percent of the drought stricken countries. water needs against a backdrop of global warming and climate change. problems such as overgrazing, soil, erosion, and water security have become more urgent than ever keeping this beautiful grass lead intact as a water absorber. it's basically the skin on the ground, the skin on the earth, given as gross then intact, so important for replenishing our water source area. but tackling the issue of over grazing and a region that depends on livestock farming is a challenge. or one solution involves reviving an age old herding tradition. my boy ella, in dog with darla folks who saw call after i started long time ago with our forefathers, got him, him follow montela. the way they used to do it was to pile up some stones and paint them all day long, so their po number will notify you. that way the community knew which side was follow and which side was for grazing god. there would be a big record older on our market. this traditional system of land rotation had been used for a very long time. but as more and more people left the area to find work in the cities, the practice died out. a lot of fired the young people didn't and best ended bads. if they talked to, they add us up the community, then it was easier to have this system more accepted. that the challenge that we have that is major around here is and livestock theft. here in the grasslands, 47 percent of young people are unemployed, and crime rates are soaring. but ers has found a solution to that problem as well. in the village of parents, sheep of b into tud, so it's clear who they belong to. good. oh, that makes stealing them pointless. oh, the branding is done by eco champs young people trained by the ers team. as a veteran re paramedics, they work by themselves distributing medicine and vaccinating livestock on remote farms. and when it's a very successful project is available. i used to have a 12 casual 5 sheep, but now due to this association, helping us with the day vaccination and other made is, is why i'm heaven now. they a d. n a la la la, la sheep. i am having gwin digital due to this loop, acela's, sissy montela, and mickey mccloud, have convinced many people here in eastern cape province, but living in harmony with nature, benefits them to help secure their livelihoods. now that's how it is done. an initiative is successful when nature come to protect it and people can still make ends meet the creators of the project in the next report . also embraced that closet thus right sound run. next we go to to nisha with fishes ah, in trouble waters. according to on e study, demeter in his c as been fish stalks dropped by ah thought over the last 50 years, the vast majority of native species and are threatened by over fission visitors entering the town of ours. these will notice a work of art that looks more like wishful thinking than the reality on the ground . precious you fishers and tunisia bring in a decent catch these days. many simply abandoned their boats, and young people are leaving witness. when was looking at the current situation, i have to say that there was no future in fishing. i can only tell young people to consider a different line of work. biologists from the national institute of marine sciences and technology and fox are looking for reasons behind the dwindling fish docs. the prime suspect toxic algae, which repeatedly turned the sea water, red climate change high water temperatures and rising phosphorus and nitrogen levels provide a perfect environment for the algae to flourish. nader species such as c, brain suffocate, and are dying off in huge numbers. on her i will not take her said his this. we discovered that a toxic species of algae is responsible for this phenomenon. of the wind is enough . in 2019 there was a very high concentration of the algae species called korea bravest sniffles on the need of all astir, said cassandra, in 2020 it stocks this like he le let them. yeah, i need to know blood enough. if or said that this yet, that increased again in eva, eva, it was a live us young, the local, especially in the area around the ports of galvez. when you are the father that this was to make ends meet with fishers, frequently resort to illegal methods, such as catching fish that are actually too young and small to sell like this swordfish at the fish market in fox, you'll also find cartilage in his fish like raise and sharks which are in fact endangered and protected species. bets your cy, edi and need alt rebels. they are trying to reverse the trend. they want fissures to stop catching sharks and other endangered species. they're part of the project med bycatch, which was launched 2 years ago and began with extensive data collection. oh, nice though good. we've collected a lot of data up key which will used to make proposals on how to reduce unwanted by catch of endangered species. and we'll lock up for all of tenicia vin the up lot, all the thought, the law thin, easy, neat out rebel c has developed a good relationship with the fishing community and the port as are these. he tells them about the research results and provides insights into the concept of close season. this is when the different species lay their eggs and can't be fished. the evaluation of the samples makes it clear that fishing in the mediterranean must become more sustainable. one solution would be using different fishing methods. trawling can be replaced by long lining, which involves long plastic lines with sardine baited. hooks attached at around 6 meter intervals. met by catch plans to recommend this type of fishing. lin photo with long line in and hook line fishing, not the fish have the choice for larry barella, and then the fish that go for the bait wouldn't get caught the they can in the others don't. it's completely different to trawling in them, which basically catches everything in the sea than a woozy cooper said. deborah, mcgrew last at ben shoemaker is an advocate of the long line method. but today he can't go fishing. the wind is too strong and the waves too big conditions are simply too dangerous. so he heads back to the harbor. preserving the ecosystem in the mediterranean will also require more fishermen like las had been shoemaker, to switch to alternative methods and not only ins, ours ease. but across tunisia and along the coasts of other countries bordering the mediterranean sea. we've got to interact with our planet in a more sustainable way. nature has an incredible ability to regenerate, but we can't leave it up to nature alone. that's all from echo africa today. i am chris a lamps signing up from lagos. thanks keith. i will say good bye to buck i
