the sign it reset in the i, c d, w. the adverb bit of additional woman adds great to risk for africa, was drought more heat ways, and the potential crop fee is, well, what can people do about it? well, take a look at this addition of eco africa. i'm crystal lambs coming to you from lagos, nigeria, the end i own sandrica, holmes, the tween. nobody, all joining you from the complex here in uganda. not only is the planet heating up, wildlife machines are on the loss of extinction. so how can we help them make us
9:31 am
come back? learn more about it. why see it coming up in today's feel? how a way, like 5 to to how to off kenya are being sent from extinction and help of boston library. it comes to them. these reducing clothing was tossed. we had to buy country y c. in uganda. imagine riding around on a wide motorcycle through the streets of a coffee to the east. no, it's a dream. we're seeing more and more of those emission free board aboard is causing to come the next few days as you'll see. so applicant countries can take
9:32 am
a real step to an email ability and much more. joseph didn't get by the is the proud owner of a motorcycle, not just a motorcycle, but to quite electric one. she received a load from an electric motorcycle company a year ago. looks like an offer. they give me i to know because i didn't put any down payment. it just gives me. but i verify everything that's about 32 years per month. joseph, being hit by buddies. motorcycle taxi runs on solar powered battery. it's a real novelty in uganda to the idea, to sell e motorcycles on a pay as you go basis came from the startup them boat, it imports inexpensive electric motorcycles from china. the company charges the factories in its workshop. if own of uganda is gasoline powered for the cyclic were
9:33 am
replaced by electric one. it would save about $100000000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. but they are still around 600000, gets the, our motorcycles get the country, the startup symbol, it says, this can't be the future. and you've gotten the, we're importing the 1200s petro motorcycles every month to serve the market. and this should be electric, but to make electric we have to invest only not only in purchasing the bikes, but also the battery and charging infrastructure. the transition would cost millions of heroes over several years. so far, the only government support for electric vehicles has beach suspend import duties on electric motorcycles. even so such electric motorcycles still costs about $1300.00 bureaus. not cheaper by local standards, but they are already more than a 1000 of the motorcycles in the capital composite. so the demand of their writers
9:34 am
like the bikes, it saves the money cost less than a fuel bike to operate is we're just missing the money to invest, and it's difficult to raise as a start up in a relatively new is business and a new model. conventional financing for any start up is normally not an option. at least they have support from international companies and organizations, especially from europe and the united states. financing, green initiatives like this is important, otherwise, poor countries in africa, in particular, would not be able to invest in electric vehicles and certainly not renewables. this would also help them protect themselves from the effects of climate change. according to the african development bank, uganda would need more than 27000000000 heroes by 2013. but so far the country has received only 10 percent from the global north. www. and uganda also complaints over lack of funds. unless we're able to have trucks additional investments, enough for them by it. that's what governments, by all part of the 6,
9:35 am
the companies in the global with because in screwed under different health. when this settings of claimants, they fixed in mid as best we did the truck, those kind of investment age was only at the latest climate summit that the funds was set up to compensate those countries, particularly affected by climate change. money is now being paid in a so that regional banks in africa can also support companies like electric motorcycle startup assembled. you can see that there's more funding that came through, especially for the african countries. i know right now to bunk has been accredited by that's been climate funds. so what we're definitely going to be doing lots more things. so we'll just need to be bored enough and give ourselves a target and see what you all have. maybe 30 percent of all of it to be green. joselyn came by is already driving green and does not regret her investment
9:36 am
. even if it's still hard to find charging stations where she can exchange her empty back to you for who of the place as you go to a new check on your location, cannot find the substitution may be a photo in newton somewhere, canada road. but you cannot find is there shouldn't even people victim, and we've got new that'd be up to that we made the this of the leverage. but so for this fissions i know to, to extended the, although this causes her to miss out on a few journeys. it's still worth it as it's cheaper for her to maintain the electric motorcycle, then it gets the leading powered one. she expects to repay her load within a year and a half since she has no shortage of customers. most of my clients like it because the most of them doing like amazing is the thing is come on is so what's most simply no pressure, no vibrations, and it doesn't pollute the environment. drive is that passengers may not always be
9:37 am
aware of it. but the electric motorcycles helping us to but time was a great idea on this. you pulled 6 us to kim range in the okay, web hosting solar panos when a 2 story building is causing me to do face this? that's right, sandra. there we have some the optimism about renewable energy on the one side with the other 3 shade on what could be bright prospect. uh it looks like restoration wick, but what's really happening here is a fundamental innovation, a top old roles. the famous king's college chapel in cambridge is getting solar panels. the chapel is more than 500 years old. much of the structure is still
9:38 am
original, but the lighting is electric, real tunnels. a launch the ornamental, the some of the panels will soon supply the necessary electricity for the chapel dean along the chew solution. and when you begin to think about the young younger, younger people, the future, you have to take the car in the cry process really seriously answer for me. or is it a wonderful opportunity to marry these 2 things together? frankly, looking, tradition, or formality and the future for human beings, full 100 solar panels, facial them to these old roof. it's perfectly angled to catch the sun's rays. but historians of skeptical, you know, here, to cover the roots with, say, the panels, which are highly reflective, willing to do so, a very to score and tell them. and well they, they wouldn't be kind of visible and they will affect the way one appreciates the chapel that appear in views of the re felt appear induced the sky line about
9:39 am
support and say the benefits outweigh these a septic and send us the panels will base power at the chapel and cover 5 percent of the cottages, entire electricity requirements. the moment is common. when the balance of power sees transferring acetic pleasure and sustainability and doing what we can say. we know what i mean for as a deposit, but creates a nimble pinterest, the is a livable so you to is just for the function library and i'm the dad is trying to help create the function. but this is one of the bows. police have been to see in the will be best next. the pool takes us to find out just how the rod street can people, eco friendly catch this library,
9:40 am
people borrow clothes, it's not crime novels. welcome to the lane, amsterdam, fashion library. it's the got to answer to tech style waste and environmental pollution caused by the clothing industry and the doctor holmes. my background is in vintage, so i've always been involved in recycling clothes. they threw vintage stores with air, but nowadays it's a challenging to find something you wanna use. and even when you do get often ends up, it's just another 2nd hand item in your closet tonight. that's a shame and that's where the idea originated play. to share clothing with each other and what's basically a march chaired wardrobe size make hundreds of dresses, pants and shirts are sorted according to label or style. the cost of borrowing them varies from $0.25 to several euros per day. pieces can be purchased to once borrowed items have been returned there, washed before being returned to the racks. just like with a regular library,
9:41 am
users need to register 1st. the fashion library now boasts around 6000 members. it's just super simple and very flexible and nice to pick out something new without having to buy it straight off for when it gets sometimes you want to wear something extravagant and like the brake pink laser, i just try it out and this is connected. we might not wear it off and just for a special occasion. i mean it's fun. i'm doing this stuff. so we show. yeah. through. it's just really nice to see that. yes, i think there should be more places like this, but at the end, i think so much clothing is bought and not worn, stating that it's a great way to wear new clothes without harming the planet. so she has acre in this age of fast fashion, the un says the average person by 60 percent more items of clothing than they did 15 years ago. that keeps them for just half as long every 2nd,
9:42 am
just the equivalent of a truck load of clothing is burned or done in landfills around the globe. many discarded textiles, wind up in african countries where they land straight on the trash. or they're sold the secondhand clothes, overwhelming local markets. the fashion industry has a huge environmental impact. it's responsible for around a quarter of water pollution worldwide. back in amsterdam, the fashion library now has its own online shop, as well as collection and drop off points and other dodge cities, a clo, feel air. i strongly believe this is the future and then it has to be because we need to transition to other systems. we can continue to consume and produce and the same way. so the customers or since our depleting survival kits,
9:43 am
i hope to inspire others in a kind that other closing brand on the back of this approach. adults, i'm a call in and then fashion these to is can not only look good, but feel good to knowing. they're styled the sustainable, the coming back to africa. a big problem that affects many countries. he is poaching the huge, illegal and dangerous trade in white animals. is typically very difficult to bring purchased adjustments because the crimes often have no witnesses. key evidence is frequently destroyed, unintentionally by 1st responders. i think the insults out for guys, maybe it's mission, to tend to tide on wildlife cry. a this is an old to come and sites on south africa's reserves. a rhino kills by poachers is caught hoping to find the
9:44 am
object that killed him. so from the 1st clue to help catch the cold prints about this, what requires the loss of know how an expert so in short supply, greg simpson is taking on the pouches, butchering wildlife. ha. since most of these crimes and never prosecuted. simpson founded an academy that helps train ranges and other 1st responders to wildlife crime scenes about the importance and intricacies of criminal forensics. we realized that a lot of the people that 1st came across these scenarios were not initially trained in handling a crime scene and particularly a wildlife crime scene. and this certain skills that are really valuable in forensics is one of those skills. so we felt that was a great need and that training ranges and people that are 1st responders or even professionals that come across to nora is way when an animal is poached, will, is in and out of a legal activity. and if they have some of the forensic skills,
9:45 am
then it means that them, that, that investigation is more likely to end up in a prosecution at court. at this facility, the wild life forensic academy simulates different wildlife crime scenes based on real world examples, including a smidge you're off, a killed lion, and a really know poached for his own. students are trained in forensic techniques in order to preserve and collect a vital evidence which can be used by the authorities to move forward with court cases. in this environment, we can expose them to all these different scenarios so they can learn how to preserve and collect the forensic traces and document them correctly. so the lights are down the line, they end up with a successful prosecution in court. and that's what we've tried to create in this academy multiple scenarios, really drum and what that mean to none. and so when they go back into the real world and much better at texting while that's one major challenge when it comes to
9:46 am
wild life crimes, is it they generally a cut in remote places, making them difficult to prove south africa's of aust scrubs and offers covered to poachers who ambush that prey, issue with wireless. com is often they aren't any witnesses. there's no one else around. uh maybe someone had a gunshot, but that's, that's what do you have. but if you actually can link someone to kind through something like a footprint or a cell phone or a weapon or dna, even that is really positing, court ranges are often the ones who 1st discovered the congresses of paged animals . that initial response is critical to reduce the risk of evidence being contaminated or destroyed by window rain before the os ortiz can arrive on the scene. those details can make or break
9:47 am
a cases chances and codes. so i think it should be 4 hands on the ground. feel changes as well. um because they often the ones who do come across the scenes before we do see i do think of something valuable for oranges um i, tessa. and throughout the septic and continents as well. in addition to collecting proof, students at the academy also take part in mock trials where they have to defend the evidence they've collected. the participants in this simulated court proceeding include former prosecutors judges and law enforcement officials. collecting evidence is only the 1st step and a long legal process. in real world cases, ensuring what they've got that can hold up in court is vital training which to, to 1st responders and those. and did you understand the role will definitely have an impact in fighting while of crime,
9:48 am
in the sense that it will lend lead to credible evidence which the prosecution can use in proving the elements of the offense against the practice. poaching is a $1000000000.00 business in asia, one key low of ryan and holding cells for tens of thousands of us dollars. the financial incentive is huge. rhinos elephants, ret tiles, and secular funds will pay the price for consumer trends. the loss of life has profound impacts on the environment. these large mega for not like elephant. suppose they haven't really important role to play in an ecosystem. as prompt, if is as large animals, they have an important role in shaping the environments and the habitats around them. they have a role in the disposal, nutrients, cycling, and by removing these animals. and it's can lead to by diversity loss and changes and confirmations of whole landscapes or in addition, it's kind of also mean to uninstall the impacts full on full,
9:49 am
increasing human while that's conflicts and having for the impact something other hold tight food chain, some ecosystem in 2022 south africa last 448 rhino to poaching, but they will also over a 100 and so to you. arrests and the number of convictions including one that resulted in the poach, has being sentenced to 60 years in prison as wild life crimes continue training and dealing with them will become increasingly important to ensure that the countries bio diversity is protected. they are the words toilets, the land dwelling stretches, and i think they also look rather lovely to ross. sadly, there are fewer and fewer of them because it went to rob sabine, post india drew's for the meats full for the codes. the end, the reasons for pushing things, know some people believe in the feeling cause of the old guns. let's take
9:50 am
a look of a consolidate. see a can you ladies especially dedicated to the protection of xerox from the outside. this looks like a bruce will capture that these game keep is one to transport. this drew off to safe a ground on the mainland. rising, goes to levels, unlike the ring, go tend a section of the draft conservation area into a 9. and so in 2021, the root code wildlife conservancy managed to relocate 7 stranded animals, all of them endangered rules, child's drugs distinguishable by the wide low legs. it was over a decade ago that the conservancy in the local community 1st joined forces to create a century for giraffes. but a few years ago managed to read the spaces. it became clear that those stranded on the nearly imaged island was suffering badly. the island this the look of
9:51 am
telling us number one of the draft and the constant attack the by the 5th. second, there was the list footage that there was a talk like peyton that could strangle the young ones and also the crocodile. so comparing the island on the mainland, we saw that the, the telling is i'm more united on lending mainland roads towards drops. i mainly found in savannah like here in the ringo region in kenya and neighboring uganda. only about 1400 can still be found today. the numbers have been greatly reduced, mainly due to poaching. but with the involvement of the community, the situation is improving helped by a 17 square columbus, a drop century established within the root co conservancy. of the, the and an animals watched over by ranges and members of the tweak of a lindsey or to rock god initiative robots. but to you is one of them having
9:52 am
grown up here, he knows a lot about the giraffes. i kinda know where you do that from the when we were children. and i knew what we are told that the roads challenger read, originated from the ringo, and i from the funding and was called the ringo duran is i'm going to have the, oh, it's me. it was said to be very sweet young black. and that's good. and i'm, and the bone, you know, can be a very special type of fat that people used for medicinal purposes. one of the common dollars. today, what matters most to him is that the animals can strive and reproduce. the monitoring team regularly checks the numbers and checks out for injuries. at the moment, they are 14 rough childs drove off in the route kind of area. the initiative, not any benefits the giraffes, but also the people who live here. the old thomas and the zip codes these pesto communities have a long history of conflict of animals and grazing them. the be
9:53 am
know a piece around the vehicle, have you at a to know until when the to held us from the to community set down the see that we need to do a way life consultancy. we need to lead to this. uh, let's change it off. so it must be known as a bilingual draft symbol of unity in the stuff network integration. so that it can bring the 2 communities together. but to do this, they needed both land and to ross, which had disappeared from the ringo. each community contributed land and the conservancy brought in h wolf childs drops from another nature was us. meanwhile, community members are also benefiting. so 2 people have found jobs as ranges. old. you're off guards like rutledge putty on the communities also receive a portion of the conservancy is income, which they mainly use to pay children in school fees. the kids have also developed
9:54 am
a respect for the animals. not the telling the giraffes are good because they helped me generate revenue from tourism, but we did the best of funding and they also fertilize the soil at the window and the welcomed young. the project is supported by international in g o's and is now well accepted by both communities to go to the we can now talk about how to protect the animal and i should have done nothing. i thought so yeah, i mean how we can develop guidelines to protect them, but in the past, due is what that process and what we can do and create new employment opportunities and what new things we can introduce so that we can continue to grow and got another we are really benefited since bringing these animals here. the develops have settled in well at the century. the numbers have nearly doubled in the past decade from 8 to 14,
