documentary. hello there and welcome to the latest edition of you who are also i mean from lagos nigeria now there's so much you can learn on this show if you haven't had any questions about the environment and what you can do on your part just stay tuned but for now let me introduce my colleague from the show from south africa high end see i hope you're fine and greetings to all you've us out there as and he said we

have a lot in store for you on the program today here's a quick peek at what's coming up. how to charge your fund by riding a bike. why recycle tiles are good for more than just artistic creations. and why the disappearance of wild dogs in zimbabwe is a threat to the environment. we stop the show in south sudan a country that banned the use of plastic bags following kenya's example the country's government says the plastic bag ban has already reduced pollution in the country's capital city by up to fifty percent. but there are still big challenges ahead many say more needs to be done and are continuing their campaign in the country's markets. south sudan imposed

a ban on the important use of plastic bags some time ago but there are still plenty around that's why juba's former deputy mayor neil majak talks to the people directly about the hum plastic bags because while the number of bags used has health since the law was introduced there's still a lack of awareness about the issue he say's my dream is to have every citizen in juba realize that a cleaner environment has a greater dividends for all of us and that we will have a cleaner job or. reusable bags are intended to replace plastic ones but some of the market vendors here say that change is bad for business for the prayers of one new usable bag they could purchase twenty single use bags for the time. when we used plastic bags we would give them to our customers for free. but now we charge them for the goods themselves and for the bags that they use to take the

goods home. and that means everything is more expensive. but i know some of your sea of fresh. and in fact many residents still use plastic bags something quite evident on the streets no fines have been handed out that's another reason that so many people have been switched and there are others i prefer using these black one because you saw my advantage to me because african feet i have my items inside here and if you can help. prevent. them from making what is inside work well as this one cannot prevent that so this one i can keep in my mind as you can see i'm ordering a. small sum of money here so when we come walk by the wendy's wonderment ok subsidized became independent in two thousand and eleven and became its capital

city over recent years the population has increased steadily more and more people are moving to the apple center in search of work that has led to congestion and increased sanitation and ways to disposal problems managing the refuse generated by the capital's four hundred thousand people is one of the biggest challenges the city faces plastic bags form a sizeable portion of that waste to move the bun forward once the environmental awareness raising phase is over bill thirty's will start imposing fines on those found with the bat when it is when it is prohibited it is prohibited and the next thing is zero tolerance policy that we are going to do if the. we are going to make citizens who are carrying the plastic bag or small good in a plastic bag responsible for that crime juba city council also wants to stop any

plastic bags from being imported into the country but that will require the involvement of several administrative channels that i cry that this place should be clear that we must not litter once this behavior become part and parcel of the citizens of. that they would be telling themselves littering is a crime that is when i would go home and. south sudan has been in the grip of a crippling civil war for over five years now but a peace treaty was signed several months ago raising hopes of an end to the conflict as a result people who fled cities like juba are now returning to what should be increasingly clean and green places comes to the country's plastic bag fun. searching to germany now many people here write a bike to work even in the winter but the mode of transport is now so popular that some people even push pedals for fun you heard right not only on the street but

also in the library and they have a nice side effects see for yourself in this week's doing your bit for the environment. do you know the feeling. you're out and about and your phone battery is running low. or even worse you're at the library. and there's no way to charge your smartphone. a public library in berlin has come up with a solution. to his books of course but it also has an indoor bike. a builtin air go meter generates electricity. enough current

to charge a phone or other small devices. cycling also has a positive effect on concentration. so you can charge your brain and your phone at the same time. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it. visit our website or send us a tweet. doing your bit. we share your story. in many places in africa apes all threatens that's because there's large scale disbar station in many countries but also due to the spread of farming the animals have found one of the largest sanctuaries in uganda why is that in well that's because there is an expression of high density of primates and kibali in national

park thirteen different species so now the park has become one of the country's most important always to attractions we joined a tall and has this. you have to head deep into the forests here if you want to catch a glimpse of key bally national parks famous inhabitants such as the red color boss monkey no where would you find a higher density of primates then here in western uganda it boasts thirteen species in all not including humans. but where are the chimpanzees chimp trackin is one of the park's most popular attractions up here we have a humanist but nancy the chimpanzees build each night is the first sign of their presence so far and making the mists is really a very point done on different places because this is one way of avoiding the enemies. or predators and also continuous for human

beings what will we continue in birds on our beds overnight but you keep changing this after more than an hour of tracking the group discovers that chimpanzees or rather the chimps discover them. and they call out to notify the other. was. was. for this group of habits waited animals it's not to first contact with tourists. still they could be dangerous so visitors have to follow the rules like maintaining a distance of at least eight meters. of. chimpanzees eat on scent termites but also fruits and even meat.

if. they are fairly safe in kigali because the local people benefit from their being protected. twenty percent of the pac entry and other fees goes to the local community. and residents get controlled access to the forest. grasses and. provoke them for seedlings from the fox for specific to trees species. through their management. giving. and must be. given and given protection they're going to for this. pig to do once. this is end the leader of the chimpanzee troupe. your mother when you were young and was both a. high ranking man and they speak in depth of

a man but it comes as a surprise to many to men that chimpanzees hunt and eat all the primates. he's one of them would contact when it comes to the chimps wanting their monkeys to be fighting for their greed before the bust monkey. block on the right foot a bust then. they hunted bubble and for their big. big target two stories to grab the biggest being the key to. a one hundred fifty dollars tracking fee tourist an important source of income for the national pack and when after they're told they understand the tritone species better be a more likely to take a stand for their protection. it was a better experience this goes back to the look at us they relax in the trees like we do at the beaches at home they help forward they live in from it is which was

a great experience to know i didn't know that and the other thing is i liked how they put in it they kept making funny noises to communicate to themselves. he values one thousand four hundred fifty chimpanzees are uganda's matches for fuel nation of this endangered species the closest living relative of humankind. so we go from the beautiful forest in uganda to recycling business in germany where the cars bikes or tractors most stars have to be changed regularly long before the rubber starts to crumble and becomes news and to the owner but rubble is actually an extremely long lasting material and that's why recycling towers has great potential all the things that can be made from there you can see in our next photo . is this the end of the road for these tires that trade is worn down and then

no longer safe for driving but what others throw away is a valuable commodity for one company based in eastern germany. down the shell but is particularly interested in large truck tires take of it i have learned tires consist of rubber natural rubber and wire. and wire right here in the tread and along the rim and those are two components that can be separated easily when you remove the wire with a magnet leaving the rubber. in the time manufacturing process heat is used to compress the rubber making the tires firm and heavy. so special machines a need to shred them. they use as much energy annually as twelve hundred households. danny felber gets the tires for nothing but his recycling company near to speak o.

does have to pick them up from carriages entire dealers. and because the truck tires the so bulky only one hundred actually fit into a container. i really have to keep the driving in the transport costs down we try to source our tires locally but as we produce twenty thousand tonnes of rubber granular it from the truck tires alone we sometimes have to travel hundreds of kilometers to get enough orders of defensively. but in base design to catch a van or doesn't have quite as far to go she gets her old material for free from bicycle shops in her neighborhood. a lot of her products are made from in achieves. as a school right i look for inner tubes with specific wits because i need them for

various products. and for all and i tend to focus on what i call prized pieces which might be impost or patched up or have a manufacturer's branding. i pick out the most interesting ones first. year. as well as expensive handbags and other one off creations catcher vanno also makes wallets and key fobs that sell a prices similar to those of commercial products. in comparison to other materials the designers says that rubber has many advantages. as a child i mean much one great thing about this material is the supply is endless there's more than you could ever need it's also waterproof it's durable it's completely begun and for many it's a good alternative to leather you know but the tire recycling company is no longer any sign of the original form. the shredded rubber is molded into everything from

small mats to large sheets weighing eighty kilos. is emitted into the compressed with the force of a thousand tons of they're pretty tough. we didn't driven over them with tanks we've developed a new process that allows us to use the maximum amount of recycled rubber some products integrate natural couch work or other substances. but we don't we only use old timers. customers like the recycled rubber when used as flooring the sheets don't have to be glued down and they can stand up to the elements. that build in fell's castle they're being used to protect the granite slabs in the courtyard. once the restoration work is finished the mats can be cleaned and used elsewhere. this robust material last for years. the idea behind honey sing the energy in the sun to power homes is gaining ground

in africa and indeed in nigeria but when it is now being used how do we maintain this resources how do we manage the homes that are part by solar and all of that well second nigerian decided he wanted to do something about it so he said what he calls a solar academy is teaching young people how to manage solo plates so why installations and all of that is also taking young men and women off the streets by this let's go to this academy. how to properly installed repair and maintain solar panels that's part of the basic curriculum at the a stephen renewable energy academy forty kilometers north of lagos the educational institute opened in october twenty seventh and so far around one hundred forty five students have received instruction songwriters from the south so most residents are nothing you get your period for

the sun like two thousand well i don't hear enough to have connected all. the white house down here. positive and negative the training is broken down into units it begins with a classroom session where the students are taught the basic principles and applications of solar energy that is followed by hands on experience outside the classroom here the students learn more about the competence of a solar energy system battery charge controller and solar converter and most importantly how to successfully markets to solar car kit you have been able to understand and know how to talk to a plank on how to make your question properly. so that. because sometimes. the capacity of the system for your clients kind of be identical is a recent graduate of the renewable energy academy he recently installed

a solar energy system for the shop now more and more people are turning to solar palm. i talked to. it was during that training and now go to no doubt a lot of things. we have been doing won't we before but now i'll never go back on. a steven academy only sonny approval and his team for the summer training free of charge but the company also sells and she go packages to people in the rural areas it is a win win situation. for all to be able to create more jobs for africans where we. saw on many of these students graduate has to be taught how do i do designs. how do i install it and how do i maintain need for source and ability

a steven renewable energy academy wants to expand its educational program the team is planning to build another academy in the niger and capital abuja. did you know that african wild dogs are extremely successful hunters they are kill rate put chains is around eighty percent and that's far more than loans and that's just one example the pack animals are key to calling have evolved populations what's helps to keep the ecosystem balanced but there is a problem for the show while they're under threat believe it or not wild dogs used to be a common sight on africa's savannah's in the mid twentieth century they were around hoff a million of them but their range has grown more and more limited and their numbers have been decimated and this week's show we had to southeastern zimbabwe to visit conservationists working to give these unique animals

a future. as the day cools down life in the bush in southeast zimbabwe begins to reawaken. immediately african wild dogs spent the hottest part of the day sleeping in the shade. now in the late afternoon the pack comes to get ready to go out hunting. it's the perfect time for jessica water maya to check up on them she heads a conservation project for wild dogs in the survey valley conservancy. it's a protected area covering three thousand square kilometers. but they are incredibly social pack animals so just the way that they interact with each other the way they take care of each other where they take care of the puppies or pack members pull together to look after each other and very different from other social convoys for example line when wild dogs either kill the adults or let the poppyseed first they

will look after the into their will take me back to the injured while dogs are among the most endangered carnivores in africa with population numbers of around seven thousand at most the survey valley conservancy provides a large area for them to roam freely which is exactly what they need to survive. they prey on games such as in parlors. the survey valley conservancy was originally formed from an amalgamation of large private ranches that finances itself through tourism and controlled sustainable hunting. outside the conservancy little of the original bush remains the local population has grown on more and more land has gone to farming leading to increased contact between wildlife and humans. victor cha bio of the african wildlife conservation fund is responsible for the school based education program. whatever the religion

was by a teaches the children about the food chain and explains what happens when one species dies out the ideas to help the children learn the importance of conservation there was no further woods example i think it's great to learn about protecting the animals know when to undergo no i know that if poachers come i need to report it to the police or my teachers will read them you can actually see that even if you see this link it is. they will tell you that. doesn't lead to these things they see music leave this think it's good to leave because it's easier inputted for. this school we've never kid you are is that for put she thanked but african wild dogs are still exposed to danger even inside the park as we discover the next day two dogs got

caught in a snatch trap jessica water my is at the scene when the ranger arrives. so we rest just soon as possible within twenty minutes of the report but i'm forty bucks on the gotcha the dogs had already strangled themselves and suffocated. it's a senseless killing the dogs won't even the poachers target. the traps were set to catch antelopes. the dogs had tried to free themselves by biting through the wire but the copper was too tough we're still it's the alpha male that's been killed along with another adult dog the best hunters of the pack. why a snare traps are almost invisible in the dense bush and the area is vast but the rangers have still managed to find or around fifty of them. as conservationist working in africa we have a duty to to protect them to make sure they stay for future generations and they are completely genetically distinct species and once it gone they're gone the rest

of the pack will stick together until the juveniles are fully grown fortunately the alpha female wasn't lost otherwise the pack would have broken up but with her make now gone hopes of gaining a new litter of puppies this year look slim. and that's how we come to the end of this week's edition of eco africa thank you so much for being a part of the show and show you join us again same time next week i'm now it's me from the fossil park in lagos nigeria so you same time next week and it's also time for me it's a farewell from inside africa but remember you can always check in with us on our social media platforms or our eco africa website so long for now bye bye.
