hello we are going to start with a
phrase you hear around these parts Le B
we are letting the good times roll here
in New Orleans I'm KY wire this is CNN
10 your 10 minutes of news where I
simply tell you the what letting you
decide what to think I'll be coming to
you from The Big Easy all week as we are
here covering the Super Bowl happy
Friday everyone let's get you your news
we start today in Greece where four
popular tourist Islands have been rocked
by earthquakes and Tremors for days more
than 200 earthquakes were recorded
between Santorini and amoros in the aan
sea since Friday the strongest one
reaching a magnitude of 4.9 on the RoR
scale the islands of EOS and anafi also
felt that seismic activity the constant
barrage of Tremors prompted officials
there to close schools for the whole
week and to advise residents not to
gather in large numbers indoors Airlines
quickly added additional flights this
week to help people leave the tourist
hotspot the region is no stranger to
earthquakes the islands sit on several
fault lines known as the helenic
volcanic Arc one of the most active
volcanic fields in Europe that fact
doesn't seem to scare away the more than
3 million people from visiting Santorini
each year significantly eclipsing the
estimated 20,000 per perent residence
there dubbed gree's Instagram Island
Santorini's stunning scenery draws
visitors from around the world all year
long authorities said the current
seismic activity is due to tectonic
movements that do not appear to be
related to volcanic activity the most
recent large quake in Santorini struck
in 1956 the 7.5 magnitude earthquake was
followed by a 25 M high or roughly 80t
tsunami at least a third of the houses
on the Island collapsed our elinda laulu
shows us What It's Like on the island as
many make their way back to the
mainland tourists who came looking for
respite now rushing to escape dreamlike
Santorini as the Greek island trembles
with seismic activity hundreds of
earthquakes have struck the waters near
the island since
Friday some are hardly noticeable others
have reached magnitudes of over five
giving visitors and locals alike enough
reason to
flee no one could sleep last night not
my wife my son only a bit there was a
lot of noise it was surely a 4.9 quake
and in the house it was really loud we
went running outside that's why we
cannot stay here any
longer more than 6,000 residents have
already left Santorini while schools
remain closed until at least Friday and
authorities warn residents to avoid
indoor Gatherings these measures as
Airlines of off for extra flights out of
the island and people flock to the ports
but as the island empties its Tremors
persist we're going to leave because I'm
afraid there are constantly earthquakes
we have to leave for the kids so the
kids can calm down sorini is no stranger
to earthquakes but near constant sismic
phenomena like this are rare even so as
thousands rush to the mainland others
feel less inclined I mean well uh
we will stay here why should we leave we
are locals we were born here scientists
say the seismic activity could last for
days if not weeks threatening landslides
and the possibility of a larger quake
and so an island whose geography and
beauty is known to draw visitors
in for now steers them
away Pop Quiz Hot Shot which is the only
North American Great Lake entirely
within US Territory Lake puron Lake
Michigan Lake Superior or Lake
Ontario if you said Lake Michigan put
your hands up it's the only great lake
that does not partially fall within
Canada's Border in Uganda More Than A
Century of colonization and
globalization have had a major impact
destabilizing one of Africa's most
biodiverse ecosystems on Lake Albert now
the bangu people are Reviving indigenous
farming techniques to restore rivers and
improve farming while having those
customary laws protected by their
government our Victoria rubadiri tells
us more about their cultural approach to
conservation fishermen's boats Rock back
and forth in the afternoon Waters of
Lake Albert in Northern
Uganda the freshwater lake supports a
population of nearly 2.5 million people
here
however Lake muan Zig as it was
originally known before the colonialists
renamed it Lake Albert holds far more
sentimental and spiritual value to the
people that live off of it they are
known as the bongu people and here in
Uganda there are one of the few
communities that observe the ancient
wisdom that governs how they treat and
protect their
environment we had specific days and
seasons for fishing we look at the moon
when it comes they go to fish when it
disappears they stop fishing in our
traditional laws we don't catch young
fish but now even the fully grown ones
aren't there because the fish stocks are
reducing such laws that were meant to
stop harmful activities like over
fishing were abandoned during
colonialism and deemed backward in
recent years though the elders who were
the only custodian of these customary
laws began slowly returning to them and
even passing them down to the Next
Generation these Elders Drew these
ecological maps that detail the bongu
Landscapes and
ecosystem the women Farmers have managed
to restore the indigenous seeds their
ancestors used to plant they found them
to be a far more sustainable option to
the hybrid varieties most small holder
farmers plant the natural pest control
methods used Generations ago have proven
to still be relevant today and effective
in ensuring healthy crop
harvests current generation is not aware
of this ancient knowledge many are not
interested in farming but we are passing
down the knowledge to those who will
learn you find in many spaces that
indigenous knowledge is being codified a
lot more we're looking at cultures that
are are working on new regenerative
agricultural practices that are based on
some of that wisdom the seeds that they
are saving and sharing among them for
example are things that are now being
written about and they are being put
into a much more serious body of work
that is allowing indigenous people to
find their space and their
visibility back in 20120 the bongu
customary law practices were codified in
Ugandan law a first first of its kind
adoption of indigenous knowledge by an
African
government Dennis tabaro has walked this
journey over the last 7 years helping
the bongu revive their ancient wisdom
their efforts now paying off some
animals we told have come back about 6
years ago when we came here those uh
Rivers were dry so when the communities
and Ard started performing these rituals
and monies then the rain came in time we
can see some of the
rivers the ancient knowledge of the
bongu has certainly stood the test of
time surviving colonialism and most
recently the discovery of oil in their
region and now with the everpresent
threat climate change poses to their
ecosystem the bongu are even more
determined to keep their culture of
conservation alive
[Applause]
