Tells us more. This teach missionary who has been. Injured these leg. Does not. He traveled more than 500 kilometers to the car on the Mission Hospital we are met because stuff money has to say hes late and i threw the book because were not coming from a need it was people there were no drugs and there was little. Question to look for help with someone who told me. The. Commissioner was because of our strict wards overflowing with patients in more places than normal trimming through that goes because of the public strike. But medical staff here feel the way disparate people are philosophy is to accept anybody who comes to her door.

To see. Any more suffering of the patients. Does not want to see people dying its one do not like to. Separate and at the present between the government and the striking doctors. And to the crises which seared lives. Now negotiators and diplomats from almost 200 countries have been meeting for the past 2 weeks for the uns Climate Change conference no loss of 25. To determine the welds response the climate imagines he is the u. N. Boss we are still losing the climate rice on our current trajectory looking at this the 2 for the great temperature rise by the end of the century but we can choose another path the passive Climate Action and wellbeing for people and planets. According to the un this i held in west africa is one of the most vulnerable regions to Climate Change in the arab that stretches from senegal to chad temperatures rising and rainfall is fluctuating this is us the raising the spread of deserts and the drying up of wetlands and least in mali league veg and its marshes are designated as wetlands of International Importance not only do crocodiles whats a bad and fish called the lake home its also in life source for about 12000 people but its now under threat. More desktop of the is continuing a Family Tradition as fisherman theyve always lived off lake when you know but these days its getting harder to get a big catch even worse the lake is a vast parading faster than it can refill by when the problem is that the lake is shrinking and the water doesnt stay long enough like it used to it becomes completely dry at one point in the year which makes us very worried. Rising temperatures and even rainfall and soil erosion mean its tough to farm. 6 and the fishermen have to settle for smaller and smaller catches. Like this i dont think our children can become fishermen without personally i dont believe in it anymore. The entire saheli region emits less than 3 percent of the Greenhouse Gases produced by the United States alone yet effects of Climate Change here are disproportionately felt the temperatures are projected to rise higher than the global average which would drive the lake and stunt vegetation past agricultural practices have also not helped. Oh my god. The people would come down make a perimeter around the lake for farming and when the water levels rose they would go and leave all the rubbish behind. Theyd leave and which would just lie decomposing and building up silt at the bottom of the light so if you arent Climate Change im too little rainfall to this type of Farming Practice the lake could disappear in 5 years if things dont change in 5 years. I think oh but the villages are not giving up since 2018 they have planted 56000 trees and are managing their Water Resources differently to retain the scarce rainwater in the soil cultivating plants that can resist temperature changes and soil degradation. Were working on ways and means of making sure the water from the lake does not completely disappear we dont know if well succeed but well keep trying. As lake when youre continues to dry up its not just the fish or the water at stake the whole culture and way of life may soon disappear. For more on this im joined by bet and the i said leader of the project on adaptation to Climate Change in mali hello hardwoods thanks for your time so what other sounds of keeping legs like veg now alive. Chances to keep legs like that mia alive very high if you use similar management methods to get the International Community did for the late chop which is right out 95 percent between 150085 and then stay at the same letter with a Sustainable Agriculture and medicine for a rodent and it very Good Management system ok now lets talk about how important it is. You know for People Living in such areas for the for the ally loued for the our culture how important our wetlands wetlands in these regions for the local people are very important because most of the people more than 80 percent depending on rain to a competitor and what they believed to be and what debate ability is much bigger in the wetlands talk about the projects that you are leaving ok so how is your project helping people to embrace climate adoptable measure. One big. One big part of my project is the illingworth the adaptation of Climate Change. With the added to the planet change in the communities of mining were doing it in front of communities which is more than 5 percent of all money and we had supporting it with. With strategies last guidance on the national net reaching a doctor level and with the Development Planning and already many many other communities in mind of copying of copying our methods and also give us some examples give us some examples what are your definition. The methods out of the forestry. Minister this for time its not. A road. Of protection hurting it Renewable Energies like many grits and also all. Those which and using it as wood and how is it being received by the people it is this interview received very well by the people and the people saw how they could really get much in our outcome and how they clicked with their lightening it certainly develop their lives in the village how they could learn in the evening when their villages were lighted how they could keep the. Foodstuffs fresh when they put cool them in practice and so on ok now quickly before you go what role should the International Community plea in helping our region deal with the facts of Climate Change that were sure that initial community should step up very much planning finance floor for these measures for the adaptation to Climate Change but it is very important also to ensure that then there are the climate finance is really reaching the communities that the International Community is supporting how they could best implement these measures and the donors also plate to get that that they cooperate instead of that every donor wants to have his thing which is im only in part for germany for france and so on.
