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 and brittany from les goes, i'm chris alliance, and i'm happy to join my colleague sandra as your host for the next half hour. these topics are we to how to women a south africa, not protecting endangered bras. lance are more and more tiny for us to spring it up in germany. then how to leesha is making a fishing more sustainable. or recent studies show that maze, collard greens and tomatoes from kenya are often grown 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 and 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 food crops at the farm. we want to see our fight. they're going to take that but sofa read doing 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 out a paradox, intended to combat pest sped in fest mays. so i believe um has impressed organic products like this popped up on top delisa for you for the lasers, not even a pe said butter, it has 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 more 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 ingredients 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 eel is continuing to tighten up the upper limits of chemical residues permitted in foods. 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 yielded up. it requires a good army practice, of course that improve so in health, but also protects human health. and so we have to wait until to find that i balance and sometimes things lake erie organic man before the lasers are getting for delays . that may be good for us. monfort on erica to erica. it's probably beyond that. you can't talk about getting for the laser is not feasible you, you can produce enough of it to be able to, i know a city of farming and deborah's in the country. i've never seen it being done anywhere, but this fights all the challenge is agricultural practices and kenya are already being transformed. more and more farms, especially smaller ones that go in organic, helped with training from experienced experts. now a 3 to buy organic farmers and 3 months and i, i am finding that business not to be very bad because i can produce from my home. i live in for a markets like this one way or yesterday. cool, you, organic farmers market in nairobi may still be small, and it only takes place once a week, but word is already getting around about is chemical free vegetables, that seller for more and more customers. they grew up quite a lot of sofya. and they're doing very well. i usually even refer some of my friends. i mean, i've introduced 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 good mean a new source of income, very close to home through and prevent really good to fully into organic. i mean, because what you have also discovered is that these are a huge 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 week's 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 irvin settings. this daycare center on the outskirts of berlin is doing just that. the sol with 1st analyzed in an app to see which areas would meet enriching with humorous and activated charcoal that helps the trees thrive on less space. here 3 saplings are planted on one square meter, much closer than usual. luca bailing ones to see a lot of tiny forests planted in germany. it's fun fish receiving a bomb. we selected 20 types of trees and shrubs based on of education analysis under them. they're all native species on that. we want to try and recreate what happens naturally and a mixed for us not true in this. give excellent miss. so that we also get different levels of ancient taishan must lay in a more shrub layer into mainland and 3 on mit fire, help bumptious. he set up the meal organisation to develop these tiny forests. it's named for the japanese men who came up with this method. akita me a walk. he 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 forest as 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 tweak hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. those ecosystems can absorb and to store a huge amount of carbon dioxide. while not your cub one syncs a key in the fight to cobb global warming. santas said knitter, 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. the potential off don't play out as big as the anticipated. so there's still a lot of research needed also, we don't know how well we can really skate it up while it 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. human 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 follow 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's wasn't holton when the into cropped starts to fly. all the power goes into the flower as it were neutral and pulls out the nutrients that it previously stored in the soil. thus would have been to prevent this. the sheet now come into play. it wasn't anything that they graze in this area and their urine. and excrement fertilizes. the field for us is equality to litzy valencia, aka. 8 years ago the farmer 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. today he mainly you does without his plow because plowing destroys the human layer and lets the seo to escape again. there are still very few farmers in germany who worked this way yet in arable farming, small changes have a big effect. you could increase the size of carbon by leaving a more assiduous on the fears, but also by a no or 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 worldwide, far as you were 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 forested 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 forest have a rather high carbon density, so not of carbon per square meter. peak 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 of considering re wedding, germany's pete lands su to accumulation and 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 soil smells a little like carrots, he says proudly. the growing humorous layer ensures a loose soil so rainwater can penetrate and is stored by the roots. he got 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, luminous latoya. here you see a flag of the root of the flax and the whole root network would be of late or, and roots act on the ground like the steel reinforcement in concrete, which strengthens a structure that mm hm. and it's the same with the soil 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. i 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 bio mass which makes sense looking at the mangrove forest. it's not all that big compared to a tropical rainforests like vantage. but in the sediment, 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 coupling seats up to 40 percent of the odd salons is covered with russ land. these under appreciated biome is an important source of protein and a store has 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 would like to have a pool as nitty lake, a muddle. bella is happy, she just sold 3 of her cows, will be equivalent of over 1000 euros. she's a single mother. and the mobile catalog auctions, organized by environmental and rural solutions, are a godsend. this auction radical and very vital for us, because we don't have transport to take our stock to the side for selling. they come to us and some, sometimes we 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 cattle 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 at $1700000.00 euros. that's benefited more than $500.00 families. the cattle bred here on the grass lands are renowned for their excellent quality environmental scientist, nicky mccloud and soil scientists. lip. alyssa cc 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 much of the grasslands has been badly degraded? the fragile ecosystem has been jeopardized by over grazing and mismanagement. the grasslands cover at 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 over grazing, soil, erosion and water security have become more urgent than ever keeping this beautiful grassland intact as a water absorb. that's basically the skin on the ground. the skim on the earth giving as gross any tech to so important for replenishing on water, so sorry, but tackling the issue of over grazing in a region that depends on livestock farming is a challenge. all ok? one solution involves reviving an age old hurting tradition. my boy, ella, in dog or we're donna folks with our call after i started a long time ago with our forefathers got him. him follow up my fellow. the way they used to do it was to pile up some stones and paint them. i'm all day long so their port number will notify you. that way the community knew which side was follow and which side was for grazing god. there were to be re record all draw now margin. 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 fat, the young people didn't understand it. bad. 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 the livestock theft here and 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 parent sheep a, b into tud. so it's clear who they belong to. good. that makes stealing them pointless. the branding is done by eco champs young people trained by the ers team as a veteran, re paramedics, they what by themselves, distributing medicine and vaccinating livestock on remote farms. i don't really when i didn't live, it's a very successful project. you know, i used to have a 12 kettle 5 sheep, but now drew to this association helping us with the day vaccination and other made is, is why i'm heaven now. they are de eh, la, la la la sheep, i'm having drain digital due to this leap, acela's, cc montela and mickey mccloud, have convinced many people here in eastern k 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 can be protected and people can still make ends meet the creators of the project in our next report. also embraced that concept. thus right, sandra: next we go to tenicia with fishes ah, in proper waters, according to on e study, demeter in his c as been fish stokes 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. when this villain 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 turn the see water read. climate change high water temperatures and rising phosphorus and nitrogen levels provide a perfect environment for the algae to flourish. nater, species such a c, brain suffocate and are dying off in huge numbers. on her i will not take her say this if 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 brevity level on the need of all astir, said consumption. assume in 2020 it stocks this, like he loa or a need to be blood is not a per se, but this yet, that increased again in eva. eva, it was a live us, your, the local, especially in the area around the port of galvez when you are the father, the this one 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. best your cy, edi and need alt rebels. the 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 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 given me up. lot all due to the law thin, easy need out for belle see has developed a good relationship with the fishing community in the port as, as ease 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 vertically with long line and in and hook line fishing. laura, the fish have the choice for larry barella and then the fish that go for the bait wouldn't get caught and if they can in the others don't, it's completely different to trawling animal which basically catches everything in the see. that was a hopper said deborah mcgrew, last that been 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 are these. 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 of from lagos. think it grief. i will say good bye to buck i hope of yours. do
