6:37 pm
environmentalists are looking at most closely the birds have been coming to lake money for centuries but this year numbers are down. the population has fallen. last year there were about 700 and this year there are only about $500.00. that's because there were a lot of cormorants among them last year and we don't have that many ponds now to provide enough fish. the lake itself is 344 square kilometers an area and has an average depth of just 0.6 meters but the effects of global warming causing it to shrink as the water level goes down range. explains some of the islands the pelicans nested on have become peninsulas attached to the shore. manages becoming shallow in some places which means it's accessible to predators
6:38 pm
and as soon as predators come into play the colonies gone. we have a younger island right here and last year the pelicans used to nest this year the water is too shallow and fox is of turned up so the pelicans and cormorants are gone. the lake money to go to low wetlands are of vital importance to more than just pelicans they're also a migration habitat for millions of geese and ducks. twice a year large flock stop over to rest and refuel before moving on. but it's the pelicans that are most affected by the dramatic changes in the lakes ecosystem . come on my bus this food is becoming increasingly scarce habitats are deteriorating pollution is on the rise feeding even a few offspring they only lay a couple of eggs is becoming harder and harder. so the population is declining if

6:40 pm
africa's building sector is booming the continent uses as much concrete for construction as europe does but making the cement that binds it produces a lot of carbon dioxide up to 10 percent of the world's c o 2 emissions. scientists from germany and nigeria are studying alternatives they're experimenting with remains of local plants such as kosov appeals that have been incinerated at certain temperatures. and are from the ash that we collect we develop cement like products they could be used in place of cement binder sold at local markets that would reduce the c o 2 footprint. from. ash from rice hulls and other plant remnants are also showing promising results using plant based cements is an environmentally friendly alternative. not only can an endless supply of organic
6:41 pm
waste be put to good use the sustainable eco concrete is also much cheaper to produce. it may even be more stable and durable than conventional concrete. we want to. the scientists hope to see the 1st building made from kosov a concrete constructed as early as next year on the university of lagos' campus. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it. visit our website or send us a tweet. during your break. you know your story.
