is now spreading throughout our society a i will experts be able to agree on ethical guidelines or will this technology create deadly new autonomous weapons systems. or robot collapse stores aug 14th on t.w. . hello there and welcome to the latest edition of eco africa. from lagos nigeria now there's so much you can learn on this show if you ever have any 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 hi n.t. 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 tires are good for more than just artistic creations. and why the disappearance of wild dogs in zimbabwe is a threat to the environment. we stopped 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 50 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. talks to the people directly about the hum plastic bags cause while the number of bags used since the law was introduced this still a lack of awareness about the issue he says my dream is to have every citizen in juba realise that. a cleaner environment has 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 prize of one new usable bag they could purchase 20 single 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 now somehow we increase 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 brother to me to go faster can see i have my items inside here and you can help. prevent. iran from making what is inside what whereas this one cannot prevent that so this one i can keep in my mind as you can see our morning. some small sum of money here so even if i walk by the wendy's wonderment ok south sudan became independent in 2011 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 400000 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 0 tolerance policy that we are going to do is that. 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 juba that they would be telling themselves littering is a crime. that is when i would go home and it's new south sudan has been in the grip of a crippling civil war for over 5 years now but that 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 builtin air commuter generates electricity. enough current

to charge a phone or other small device it's. 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 or. 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 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 n.t. well that's because there is an expression hard density of primates and killed by the national park 13 different species so now the park has

a come one of the country's most important tourist attractions we joined a tall and has this. you have to head deep into the forest here if you want to catch a glimpse of key ballet national parks famous inhabitants such as the red color boss monkey no where would you find a higher density of primates than here in western uganda it boasts 13 species in all not including humans. but where are the chimpanzee chimps trackin is one of the pox most popular attractions of rio we have a list but nest the chimpanzees butte each night is the 1st sign of their presence so far and making mists is really very been done on befitting priss because he's one way of avoiding the enemies. or predators and also cleaning

this for human beings what will we continue. on our beds over night but. after more than an hour of tracking the group discovers the chimpanzees or rather the chimps discovered them. and they call out to notify the others. for this group of having to eat animals it's not deferred contact with tourists they are still they could be dangerous so visitors have to follow the rules like maintaining a distance of at least 8 meters. or. chimpanzees eat on scent terminix but also fruits and even meet us

. they are fairly safe in key bali because the local people benefit from their being protected. 20 percent of the pack entry and other fees goes to the local community. and residents get controlled access to the forest the. grasses and other provoke um for seedlings from the fox for specific trees species we're coming right through the management of the right thing given. and must be. given and given protection we're going to harness. once. this is enforced zeke the leader of the chimpanzee troupe. your mother when you were young both. first in the film and high

ranking men and they speak in a male 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 contact when he comes through the chimps hunting the monkeys fighting for their greed to go bust monkey. block on the way to go bust. they hunted bubble and or their big. big target was always to grab the biggest game of each. with a $150.00 tracking feat tourist an important source of income for the national pack and when after their toll they understand the trenton species better we're more likely to take a stand for their protection. it was a great experience this goes back to the look at us they relax in their trees like we do at the beaches at home they help forward their living from it is it 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 1450 chimpanzees are uganda's not just population of this endangered species the closest living relative of humankind in the world. it went so we go from the beautiful forest in uganda to recycling business in germany where cars bikes or tractors most stars have to be changed regularly long before the rubber starts to crumble and becomes a nuisance 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 show. is this the end of the road for these

tires their trade is 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. down he shall but is particularly interested in large truck tires take of it i haven't as larry tires consist of rubber natural rubber and wire by wire right here in the tread and along the rim and those are 2 components that can be separated easily if 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 needed to shred them. they use as much energy annually as 1200 households. gets the tires for nothing. but his recycling company near to speak oh does have to

pick them up from carriages entire dealers. and because the truck tires the so bulky only $100.00 actually fit into a container. i would have. to keep the driving in the transport costs down we try to source our tires locally but as we produce 20000 tons of rubber granular it from the truck tires alone we sometimes have to travel hundreds of kilometers to get enough 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 her products are made from in achieves. as. right i look for inner tubes with specific wits. because i need them for various products. of and i tend to focus on what i call prized pieces

which might be in past or patched up or have a manufacturer's branding yes. i pick out the most interesting ones 1st. you know. 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 trial on the market 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 80 kilos. is emitted into the compressed with the force of a 1000 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. 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 loss for years. the idea behind harnessing 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 a 2nd 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 solar plates so i install ations 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 steven renewable energy academy 40 kilometers north of lagos the educational institute opened in october 27th and so far around 145 students have received instruction songwriters from the south coast residents are that when you get your periods when the sun likes to announce

well i don't hear enough to have connected so. positive and make it to 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 where 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 power kids have been able to understand and know how to talk to a plank and how to make a conditional properly. so. because sometimes. the capacity of the plant coyote 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 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 up for evil and his team for the summer training free of charge but the company also sells pay as you 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 design. one how do i install it and how do i maintain need for soft inability

a stephen 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 extremely successful hunters kill rate put chains is around 80 percent and that's far more than loans and that's just one example the park on a key to calling have evolved populations what's healthy 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 african savannah in the mid 20th century there were around hoff a 1000000 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 south

east and bob way begins to reawaken. leaving the african wild dogs spend 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 survey valley conservancy. it's a protected area covering 3000 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 lion when wild dogs either kill the adults or let the puppies eat 1st they will look after the into they will take me back to the injured while dogs are among

the most endangered carnivores in africa with population numbers of around $7000.00 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 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 over 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. to do whatever to

my job i had 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 you know when you are going to do you really see that even if you see this link if this is a flat out 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 only easier inputted for the. buzz to this school we've never kid you are is that for pussy thanks but african wild dogs are still exposed to danger even inside the park as we discover the next day 2 dogs got caught in

a snatch trap jessica water mine is at the scene when the ranger arrives. so we rest just soon as possible within 20 minutes of the report but on 40 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 snap traps are almost invisible in the dense bush and the area is vast but the rangers have still managed to find or around 50 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 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 mate 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 make streak 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 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.
