state nigeria. hi there. i am sondra tween of you and happy to be with you as well from capella, here in uganda. coming up, we'll meet some of the activists fighting to protect nature, and we lead our very survival also on the shall paul weaving can protect us from too much sunlight. and how co op can be produced sustainably. we are wives, sister's friends, and also mothers, women across the world show the great responsibilities, and many are also particularly committed to protecting mother off, perhaps because we understand how important i healthy planet ease for descendants. i'll foss report takes us to ivory coast where we meet female activists standing up for the environment. oh, good. much lies hidden under the sand here, but it's not treasure. people from nearby villages bury waste on the beach which re surfaces when the tide comes in. what maria was there, we knew is getting local community is involved and cleanups with her angie overseas . her. she aims to raise young people's awareness of pollution is to be by the markets are not enough to have policies and laws, although they are very important. and i'm working on that, but how to communities act, what contributions can they make on a daily basis? how can we encourage people to adjust their habits in small ways, such as bringing about behavioral changes is extremely complicated. to reduce the activist has invited several media organizations to take part to day. what is unusual? while women are often committed to environmental protection, many keep a low profile and their initiatives remain confined to the private sphere. with only on phone gazande from once a young woman, seeing a woman at the forefront of initiatives already shows that we women have a responsibility to raise awareness lab please are they processed? they valuable vale, of course. so it also inspires me to see someone so dedicated to the cause of protecting the environment without below. women are also disproportionately affected by climate change and pollution according to you and report. another important reason to encourage their participation. aviva t do is a no go is an eco toxicology professor. she says, due to cultural customs, it's women who are often absent from debates on the topic. changes in the air, however, on social media to your book in napoleon, candelabra hall. but there are many women who don't speak up because they're not used to speaking in public until it over la la course of the they sense to themselves and that set. oh no, that's why. if you look for them, you can't find them who was malicious. all of them, i think that fortunately things are changing more and more. there's a, there are many young women who speak out who defend their rights for who defend the environment and who are committed to humanist causes, causal. things are changing. fortunately, sir charles horsesmouth, the growing sense of urgency is undeniable. enlarge african cities like our visual pollution is increasing and the last green spaces are disappearing. women and children are the worst exposed as they often live in rundown areas. plastic waste, in particular, is a huge problem to create more awareness about pollution and reduce litter artist, moon, or mickely, regularly organizers workshops or children in the neighborhoods of abbey gene. said barbara, educate their child who learns how to take bottles and turn them into a work of art will gather them up at home and be creative with them that his parents won't understand. but he'll say, mom, i want to make something with this. it's fun. am i said the child educates his parents without knowing it. another way to inspire conservation is to go out into nature like into up his jeans, bunk or forest. the ivory and capitals last green lung. the program evey awful, re organizes educational visits. it's founder tele balls on delay, is passionate about nature. to imagine they go home, imagine someone coming in to your house and breaking everything. would you like that? or would you divide? and i mentioned it's the same thing. so when we enter the forest, we must respect the home of the trees and the animals anymore. she wants to prepare the young ones to take over. on quarter of a mournful is all for we're really counting on the children to become a generation of eco responsible adults that has shown that youth equal. that's what we want to create, will yield a generation that is sensitive to the issues here that wants to protect the environment, and that is even capable of restoring it is thought of also, mary shows that we know the moon i make lay and till a bull some delay, these are just 3 of the women in ivory coast who are getting involved and standing up for environmental protection. wall, how inspiring and i find the people in our next report. equally inspiring weavers in spain, are we using plastic bouts to create something extra special, less wine of more in these weeks? doing your beat? ah colorful sunshades. have given this village a whole new look there made of plastic waste, skilfully crocheted by residence of vall that had de la veda. the village, famous for its historic center, is about a 150 kilometers west of madrid. the group that makes the shades is led by architect head designer, marina fernandez. that are more than you thought a. we tried to re purpose shopping bags of them or other waste from packaging and used that to crochet the sunshades via gallery on lobby though they prolong the life of the material and transforms it into something new. the also benefits the municipality. a august was going to so many people most of the work is done in winter in preparation for the long, hot summer. maria deadra c o explains how it works. in the, in the, the, to get a lot my, depending on how thick i want the yarn i can and cut the strips wider or narrower and data. i cut them diagonally to make ribbon which gets twisted into yawn. and that's what we then crochet with. whatever form they take, the colorful sunshades are designed to appeal to tourists. in particular, the many small businesses in by that it de la vera depend on the money brought in by the visitors. but the ones made from plastic waste provide an added benefit to local residents, tourists, and not nice the environment. ah, and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or centers or tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. of the ivory coast. ganna is the was 2nd largest export of brooklyn. liquid beans must have gone by the us, more farmers, but out to dated plantations, diseases affecting the cook or trees on increasing drought due to climate change, a making life difficult for them. a project hopes to revive the fortunes of gonna small farmers by showing them how to cultivate debates differently. for either my food, any is checking the condition of his cocoa trees and removing excess shoot. he wants to get his plantation into shape. important visitors are on their way a scientist from the state cocoa authority, i said he'll be coming by today. i was an hour or so i did a thinking with just a few glances. i most cordial. why sees what adam of who sydney has done wrong? for starters this fruit a squirrel nibbled on it. that farmer should have chopped it off immediately. now answered eaten the cocoa beans and are threatening the other fruits to. and there's another problem says it is free. this free thanks a lot of water from the soil. as i mean you cut to the root of it, you see a lot of water coming out of it. is that during the addresses in order, as you said it leaves, which means is very good to proceed for the coordinate resin. but on the other hand, because it takes too much water from the soil, it is computing for water and nutrients will go plants. the fact that the soils water balance could be a problem is new to adam of whose any he only thought about the shade his coco plans needed. he learned about shade from his father orlando's manu or cocoa farmer who rehabilitated his farm with the support of a dutch and g. o. when he saw his father's farm taking off, he decided to quit his job as a teacher lot. and so a lot of enrollment as well, my flies were to get food to feed the family and a saudi food. and he says was able to get my son there. some slowing come for, for the family and running data. and now i mean when i try to get into full fam, almost coach or choir examines the right cocoa pods. it's ultima, fuson ease. first harvest, the scientist divides the fruit into 3 groups based on quality. this also let him make predictions for future years. uh huh. okay, and look back with our city for kilograms. so if he's able to get about 8 of them ah, from next year on was as if i'm ages, we can predict that their farm is going to do. very well. miss our pupils. however, adam of who's and he can only achieve this goal if he manages his farm flawlessly, almost coach or quite shows him how the trees have to be prudent and you look so they have all the energy goes into fruit production. and to warns against the use of pesticides sadie close to the t. v. now we have taught their co pharmacy in ghana, not to use we decide any more because we decided where destroying the soil is what is making us well had the it was kill microorganisms that make the sway loose ends and good. instead, he recommends applying compost fertilizing the soil with compost alone is not enough though. climate change is presenting coco farmers in western ghana with new challenges because of drought. this farmer water says 12 acre farm by hand every week august and the google. but i'll as it or die because of the how much i altima fuson his father has it easier now. the dutch n g o, as in v, drilled a board hole on orlando us manas farm and installed a drip irrigation system, a pilot project for the region. it says in florida, some people from s in v installed this water from forming. it was free. i didn't pay anything, not one city, and i didn't have to worry about food or where the workers would sleep. when they were finished, they just handed me the soda machine. i never would have expected anything like that. when i asked for an estimate of the costs, i was told $21000.00, so i wouldn't have been able to come up with that. even if my family had sold everything household dollis, orlando us mano has to take care of the maintenance of the wealth and give some of the water to his neighbors. in the capitol acro, the state cocoa regulator, cocoa bod, knows irrigation is critical. officials want to increase annual yields by $50000.00 tons to a total of $1500000.00 tons without clearing more jungle and without using boar holes. bo, who's doing the garages in it doesn't yield much based on the i, we're interviews streams and perry. now, what assholes and we're going to do for now, 4000 actus says integral round 500 kilometers away in silver, krohn adam of hussein, ease home village. the farmers are discussing how they can benefit from the program and anyone wanting an irrigation system from coke about who has to pay back their costs over a number of years, which can be a big challenge for one individual. we're all of our youth here knows i will who pharmacy i so does that as you put out the asset into groups. it'll help us creating a cooperative. but until then, adam of who seine is trying to get as much out of his plantation as possible. we have just seen how the conservation of cocoa in gonna can be improved, but in the wider cocoa industry, there are still too many examples of ecological over exploitation. so what about giving up chocolate? from time to time? we made some innovator then germany, who are found to st. alternative a world without chocolate, simply unimaginable for many people. the average german eats almost 13 kilos of the sweet stuff each year. but what you see here on the conveyor belts isn't really chocolate. close to munich suit technologist anna alina cook is hard at work on producing nicola, a vague and chocolate without coco either the house until she had bounced on the main difference with our nicu. or is that we use oats instead of cocoa being hung up on what the in terms of the process. it's very similar to using coco warner for 5 based fermentation of him and then drying, and then the actual roasting process items to her. so the oats are fermented using specially cultivated yeasts, then a co chocolate also contains out flour, sugar, and ground eroni berries. shade butter helps create the smooth texture this combination and shows no co as environmental footprint is 90 percent smaller than that of conventional chocolate. that's because most cocoa is grown in west africa in ghana and ivory coast, in particular, producing just one kilogram of conventional chocolate generates up to 45 kilos of c o. 2. the outs used in the production of nicola can be sauced locally cutting out the need for shipments from africa. but could this v inversion threaten the livelihoods of african cocoa farmers? and most of all the of, i probably won't be the reason cocoa farmers, peters fewer beans in the future are called that will be caused by climate change. because of it gets $1.00 degrees hotter and up to 50 percent of that is growing areas will cease to exist because it will simply be to drive to cultivate cocoa popular for columbo. but if only half as much coco can be produced. will chocolate become an expensive luxury for the few traditional chocolate manufacturers idle is not taking any chances their testing whether the fake chocolate can be processed in the same way as chocolate made with cocoa. and are coming as i say here you can see that there are no fatty edges and no streaks. so we can actually continue to the next step in the process of the bottom mcmakin. even the green button. yes. the cream filled pray lines shaped like slices of cake and one of his idols best sellers. nicola scores highly in terms of sustainability and health. the staunch contained in the outs means that 30 percent less sugar needs to be added to the mixture. if you haven't, you still see this godaddy from all. i don't think that it will push trouble it out with the market. well, and that's not no cohen goal either, but it's a good alternative for people who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint too, or the not even if you're looking for a young, environmentally and health conscious crowd. good. any sta in munich is the place to go at least half of all coffee, or does he a request out or almond milk? it's the perfect place to test nicola on it's target demographic. hi. hi. can i offer you a piece of co free chocolate, amanda and what's in it then? you saw it's made with oh push. i never say no to chocolate. it's fagan dental. this follow it surprisingly sweet. yeah. really sweet. i didn't expect that in class. what there's a type of butter in there, right? so she che butter. how does that? does it taste like macadamia you who was like shay, butter smells and body lotion. taps on. i tried a lot of bacon chocolates and i'm usually not a fan because they're made with rice, uncontested. i went but this is really good. the things make to me, that's why i like it. i always drink goat malcolm, which i was like. it's your taste good. i'd like another piece. i can, i have another nicola is still in the testing phase, but in early 2023. the sustainable chocolate should be available in still was back in africa, we had over to run death after the 1994 genocide booster. the rhonda refugees who are fled, the country returned home. fossils of them say today in the aka jiro national park because they had nowhere else to go. they also brought their life stock with them. it became a big problem for the park and eats protection. much of the forest was cleared to obtain land for agriculture and also grazing. now many animals were hunted on killed, some wildlife species even went extinct. poaching onto numerous conflicts with the local population, only made the situation more complicated. now things seem to be changing. we paid a visit to the park and also it's people with an elephant. so buffalo's a decade ago wildlife sightings like these. we re un wanders, arcadia iraq national. ha, john via, she's a mana, enjoys find in animals to shoot visitors. black rhinos and lions were also re introduced in the park until 2010. it was open season for cultures here. cattle heard as like the animals grease, the grassland plains, and killed any lions that attacks their life between one and times. and i'll be one of the porches. i cannot say why i can say that i did to side the store, but we did my father on a bus. we used to, to italy, to select bush from. it's as we so as we are sitting tomatoes by but by a distance to see someone sitting bush mit, it's like if possible. in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide, many tootsies who fled to uganda, tanzania, and booty returned to rwanda and settled in aka gear. they live from hurting, and the seal of bush meets at a point, when 2 thirds of the park was inhabited and portion was rampant, the government finally stepped in to protect the wildlife, the other 3rd, roughly 1120 square kilometers, was fin stove before and then there was a lot of pushing and pushing means killing animals, the buckled to disappear in one way or another. and that's where the government called up and african box to come in. do you destroy it to manage it effectively? the pock management included the returning to says in the plant from the very beginning, about $650.00 of them work us hawk ranges entre guides. 250. how full time position them like john via she's a monarch. life locals are allowed to fish in the parks, large leaks, but only if they join a corporate in return. all members receive a monthly stipend, john ve. she's a mana, has be launch a call for 8 years. we used to book the, the fishing unit, which can cogs the small fish, the medium sized fish, the big fish, so that to conceal dislike emptied by now or by using the appropriate fishing. and else we are catching the fish, which are much white enough. and then this more fish can pass through, then it's the fish is then sold to the community at reduced rings for about one euro per kilogram. instead of the usual for euro's that makes illegal fission less attractive. in addition, the cummins is living here, share 10 percent, or the parks revenue in 2022. that amounted to about 470000 euros. that money can be used to build schools, hospitals, and wells. this schemes, locals, including the fisherman and incentive to care for the environment. a martin, the kwanisha total, the honey honey. we have practices in place to protect the environment. when we efficiently lakes the fishing sizes spread out lake lima has its own only cache, bigger fish, and in the limited amount of time with a great care to maintain the environmental delay on the nature in the block. if it was only one destruction here own hulahan omnibuses to quote hun tongue. environmental protection is as he talked to the schools to ensure such devastation never happens again. teaching the kids is illegal. i love was your ve. and your quick learners, son. what he ha ha city won the thought on you idea we go many products you were from families of cultures. and we felt that how life is that this awareness has really changed on the signing of environmental protection. a few days ago, i saw a portrait taken an animal from the pocket, a cordial sandwiches right to wait long enough. that was impossible, by default. why? what could he cannot? will he g? in the past decade, ho, chin has dropped dramatically. it's a clear indication that the conservation efforts are succeeded. it's my responsibility to teach my neighbors, to sure to show them the goods of the nature, to show them why we have to protect the nature. he sees the results every day, wide life populations, our group. today, there are some 100 elephants i can get right, is currently the only park
