the result reverse culture. shock you realize how strange artificial. really looked into life. the price of entry from the forests. first on w. hello there and welcome to the latest edition of. its i mean from lagos nigeria now there's so much you can learn on the show if you ever have been questions about the environment and what you can do on your part just a chance 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 fun 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 news 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 greater dividends for all of us and that we will have a cleaner job. 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 think will use bags for the time because 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 no so no shortage of british. 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 brother to me because africans think i have my items inside here and you can help. prevent. them from making what is inside a wet well as this one cannot prevent that so this one i can keep in my mind as you can see our morning i. am a small sum of money here so even if i walk by the end one remains ok south sudan 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 west 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 band 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 is that we are going to make citizens who are carrying the plastic bag or small goods in a plastic bag responsible for that crash 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 clean that we must not litter once this behavior become part and parcel of the citizens of juba that they will 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 almost 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 bun. searching to germany now many people here ride 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 that have a nice side effect see for yourself in this week's doing your bit for the environment. do you know the feeling. you're out in about and your phone battery is running low. or even worse if 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 built in 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. but how about you. if you're also doing your bit tell us about it or. visit our website or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. in many places in africa apes all threatened that's because there's large scale deforestation 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 empty well that's because there is an expression hard density of primates and kibali in national park

thirteen different species so now the park has a come one of the country's most important tourist attractions we joined a toll 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 that seeing species in all not including humans. but aware of the chimpanzee chimp trackin is one of the park's most popular attractions we have a witness but the chimpanzees build each night is the first sign of their presence so far and making mists of any point on be fitting because he's one way of avoiding enemies. or predators and also

this for human beings what we did in birds on our beds over night but you keep changing mists. after more than an hour of tracking the group discovers the chimpanzees or rather the chimps discover that. and they call out to notify the other. oh. for this group of having to eat animals it's not to first contact with tourists they are. still they could be dangerous so visitors have to follow the rules like maintaining a distance of a pleased eight me says. chimpanzees eat on sand termites but also fruits and even meet us

. they are fairly safe in key bali because the local people benefit from their being protected. twenty percent of the pack entry and other fees goes to the local community. and residents get controlled access to the forest the. grasses and. vo come for seedlings from the buck for specific trees species we're coming right through the management of the right and given the board and the must be. given and given forth from going before this. one. this is end foods eat the leader of the chimpanzee troupe. your mother when you was young and was both a strong. i first in the film in the higher ranking and they speak he stepped off

a man but it comes as a surprise to many so men that chimpanzees hunt and eat all the primates. he's one of them would be content when it comes to the chimps wanting their markets to be fighting for their greed to call the bus monkeys. a block on the way to go bust then. they harm to bubble and or their big. big target two stories to grab the babies begin to meet. with a one hundred fifty dollar tracking fee tourist an important source of income for the national pack and when after their toll they understand the trade to species better the more likely to take a stand for their protection. it was that what experience this goes back to the look at us they relax in their trees like we do at the beaches at home they help ford they've given 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 they're going to get to themselves. the bally's one thousand four hundred fifty chimpanzees are uganda's not useful fumigation 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 styles have to be changed regularly long before the rubber starts to crumble and becomes news and to the owner but rubber is actually an extremely long lasting material and that's why recycling tires has great potential all the things that can be made from there you can see in our next film.

it's this the end of the road for these tires that trade has worn down and they're no longer safe for driving but what others throw away is a valuable commodity for one company based in eastern germany danny shelby is particularly interested in large truck tires take of it i have larry tires consist of rubber natural rubber and wire. wire. 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 speak oh

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. to keep the driving in the transport costs down we try to source our tires locally but as we produce twenty thousand tons 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 a catch of an owner doesn't have quite as far to go she gets her old material for free from bicycle shops in her neighborhood. a lot of hope products are made from in achieves. as. right i look for inner tubes with specific wits because i need them for various

products happy and full of and i tend to focus on what i call price pieces which might be in past or patched up or have a manufacturer's branding. i pick out the most interesting ones first ones the past 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 you know it's 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 a force of a thousand tonnes so they're pretty tough. 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 ground 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. the energy in the sun to power our homes is gaining ground in africa

and indeed in nigeria when it is all being used how do we maintain this resources how do we monitor their homes that are part by solar and all of that well second i directly said he wanted to do something about it so he said what he calls a solar academy is teaching young people how to manage solar pleats 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 install repat and maintain solar panels that's part of the basic curriculum at the a steven 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 bronx residents are nothing you get to be cured so to

suddenly turn out well i don't hear enough of connect that's all. down there. 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 powered kids have been able to understand and know how to talk to a blank how to make your question properly it's almost. so that. because some time. on that side of the cup i should think of the stanford clan coyote identical he's a recent graduate of the renewable energy academy he recently installed

a solar energy system for this shop now more and more people are turning to solar palm. i thought i moved. it was during that training and now go to know that 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 a poor boy and his team for the summer training free of charge but the company also sounds pay 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 house to be taught how do i do designs of a solar system how do i install it and how do i maintain need for soft 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. did you know about african wild dogs extremely successful hunters they are killed great 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 once helsa 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 african savannah 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. in the african wild dogs spent the hottest part of the day sleeping in the shade. now in the late afternoon the pack comes together 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 solve a valley conservancy. it's a protected area covering three thousand square kilometers. 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 lion when wild dogs either kill the adults or let the perp easy first they

will look after the injured they 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 southern valley conservancy provides a large area for them to roam freely which is exactly what they need to survive. they prey on game such as in parlors. the size of a 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 over to farming leading to increased contact between wildlife and humans. victor chip bio of the african wildlife conservation fund is responsible for the school based education program. needed. to do was buy

a teaches the children about the food chain and explains what happens when one species dies out the idea is to help the children learn the importance of conservation was no photos example i think it's great to learn about protecting the animals no we're not going to go no no i know that if poachers come i need to report it to the police or my teachers when you only do you really see that even if you see this link it is. they will tell you that. there's a lake. these things they see music leave this think it's there to leave because it's cool it's even good did for it was the theme of those kids that do. this school we have never kid you are is that for pussy thanks but african wild dogs are still exposed to danger even inside the park as we discovered the next day

two dogs got caught in a snare trap jessica water my is at the scene when the ranger arrives. so we rest as soon as possible and got it within twenty minutes of the report but unfortunately. 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 protect them to make sure they stay for future generations and they are completely genetically distinct species and once they've 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. amy from the fossey park in lagos nigeria so you same time next week and it's also time for me it's a farewell from job in south 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.
