the literature invites us to see people in particular because i think i like to see myself as the fine instruments growing up her. might object to what i was to share with a friend before. she did the books on youtube. hello and welcome to this new edition of the africa b. environment magazine brought to you by channels television my dear dr bell in germany and n.t.v. in uganda. the niger conservation foundation in lagos nigeria largest city co-presenting with me today is my colleague sun hello to you sandra oh you do it hello neal to good to see once again on the great things to all of you watching us

from different parts of the world i am sundered to know you're coming to you from kampala the biggest city in uganda we do have some amazing reports for you today let's get started. we will take you to mount kenya to find out about going forwards to protect the antelopes living thing and then to work in a fossil where women run a project through papa's plastic waste they cleared from the streets. on we end up in. a famous american company is helping to replant a bunny forest. but forced to kenya to meet one of the rarest species of until africa the mountain bungle they are critically endangered with less than $100.00 still living outside conserving says they are of the most porches predictors disease and loss the government is a land and has implemented a plan to save the species and also boast its numbers out the food of mount kenya

it will africa visit some commuters corso vision it's working hard to make that a reality. and it will keep us women more troops he has come to check on his charges he looks up to mountain bongos of the mount kenya wildlife conservancy he feeds them twice a day and makes sure the head of their antelopes is intact i like it i love the job and i'm proud you know having that. because i'm no more there but now it's here so it's makes me do it with with me not with me a lot so i like working here i love with. my aim is to have as many as i can. here in captivity the animals don't have access to all the vegetation the would find in the wild that's why they are given need to tional supplements known as

winter kids these special pellets are reaching pro-tem 5 which grossed the antelopes immune system. the air force seems to be paying more to the kenyan wildlife conservancy. the mountain bunghole nearly extinct in the wilds in kenya and so are a few bones and taken to the us is breeding i mean poodles have been for we received a 1000 bungles from different schools in the u.s. and for those 18 we started the breeding program here on sunday and the. 77. last youngest was born on the 7th of july and it is this i mean the sort of the bungle. with the increase in numbers to conservancy plans to release 25 into the mount kenya forest where kenya forest

service ok if has and located about 800 acres for a protected century. this enclosed area at the foretold mount kenya is not just a sanctuary for mountain bungalows knows the rare white zebras in the halves of buffalo also find protection here from porches and pretend we divide this bongos into different products because of the species that we have a moment. in the near future when we put them in the sanctuary this is problem would be so they don't prevent so what you can see here is one of the breeding hunts the conservancy also offers to us to tourists and schoolchildren to get revenues and donations are the main sources of much needed funds for the schools on the discussion program is very important to us number one because we are trying to create our. on this to the future generation above and beyond species like the mounted bongo. grew up. passing the information to this their

parents and their friends and to minimize the watching. the habitat destruction of their one of the highlights for visitors is the animal from it where keepers look after old friend and injured animals before returning them to the wild about $15000.00 kenyan schoolchildren come to visit the conservancy every year oh very excited to be here. i think they'll munchkin our love conservancy. for taking care of all this i was. very interesting crew just. for example the mountain boyo. which has been endangered by the protests. it's not just porch in the threatens they react until opes they also have to contend with a variety of diseases and the loss of their natural habitat. so limited

everything going to an average animal keep looking forward to the coming weeks soon 5 new mountain bumble tells you to be born increasing the species chance of survival. we are part of a lot of interesting reports about people who practice recycling or up cycling from car to as that sounds funny to bugs made of drinking straws and women school party in a fossil came up with another idea you need to take a look at that yes indeed sandra they turn plastic bags into new products well meet with them now in a new episode in our series of doing your bit where we will showcase initiatives of individuals who are really doing something to help the environment. plastic waste cloth is the environment and contaminates the soil. and plastic bags

are the biggest problem. affray is the woman's co-operative in brooklyn a fast. supports both female empowerment and environmental protection for. the women here wash the plastic bags and disinfect them. the next step is to cut the bags into thin strips and roll them on to spend. the resulting thread is woven on into durable fabric. which is used for making briefcases and other stylish bags. the items sell for between 20 and 50 euros. the woman in the co-operative 250 year as a week. not allows them to support their families.

also doing something good for the environment. and how about you. if you are also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. now for taxing the environment is one thing economic activity is another but they don't necessarily have to be in conflict with one another but you know next to look at if only situation in balad where conservationists are warning that the government's plans to turn the idyllic meandering river pripyat into a major commercial waterway ultimately linking the baltic and the black sea would be an ecological disaster. this might look like a measure of

a kayaking excursion but for constantine chick karloff it's a protest for the river plate yet. this is the 3rd year that the chairman of the belorussian environmental organization bogner has organized tours like this one. he wants people to experience the unspoiled nature along the river and to demonstrate against an inland waterway which could be built here. then asked at a company for as the purpose is like a european version of the amazon river. this place is unique because people can come here and see what rivers used to look like what nature in europe was like once . and if we can preserve these large areas of wild nature we're also helping to keep the ecological balance on the european continent along soko you skew. it if you're europe is come the proposed waterway would cut straight through 11 nature

reserves and the activists say it could destroy a unique ecosystem the canal is supposed to connect to the baltic sea and the black sea its route goes through one of the last big wetland areas in europe with rare black older forests. 90 percent of the birds in belarus live here including endangered species some animals nest directly on the untouched banks. this is tall covers 35 kilometers along many narrow wild sections of the river which would have to be dug out to allow commercial traffic. when the group stops for a break they talk to local that's about the pan of water way. often people in the villages only have limited sources of information and we want of those sources for them so that they don't only get information from state media but also hear

a different opinion. should be sure the war because and then they can decide for themselves what they want the rivers infrastructure to develop or do they want to protect the environment around them and keep it healthy of their own for with as they are. day 2 of the kayaking campaign many here are participating for the 1st time during breakfast constantine chalak off shares his concerns about the water way he believes that balance should be investing in eco tourism on the river plate yet rather than in cargo transport. when you will miss out on some people don't think about leaving these spots untouched but simply leaving them to nature itself . someone. to just sit down peacefully just like this and simply watch to hear the birds sing or watch things slowly changing the thought of them by your. the activists warns that the construction of the can now could destroy the wetlands

here the river bed would have to be deepened to allow big ships to pass that's why constantine chalak of is doing what he can to prevent the prepared from becoming another example of an ambitious economic project with catastrophic consequences for the natural world. here. there are those who often wonder if school really teaches you what you need to know for the future well there is an in the mantra school not too far from here on the ask it of lagos where the children certainly learned some important lessons about renewable energy about sustainable living on the earth they do indeed for one thing they see fox hunt the advantages of solar power because the school generates its own but that's not all and will we show you why. all of.

these kids have lots of ideas about what can be done to combat climate change burn fuel for still feels ride a bicycle use solar power discussions of this nature are giving high priority at this school who want our children to be problem solvers we want them to be people able to look at the environmentalists do things they know we school principal because he is leading by example she runs the abbos heart school the private elementary institution not far from lagos the principal has had solar panels installed on the roof of the building. firm was such that we have 3 or i don't think you know. each of them referred to an i phone 5 right. now playing with you jim. and i agree the iffy the best the conditioning the

lights in. the barn i'm without in order classroom. but getting to this point wasn't. a sizable investment required but the school was only able to get a bank loan so part of that money. to accelerate it up with our own chris so now the nancy sandoz school financed this so. we have issued the challenge of financing and we also have a challenge all from getting. mom power you know training to manpower all understand the setting up of the projects the automation parts of the project and then the maintenance also. the students of land that everyone can do their part to ease the burden on the environment. instead of going in for sue for music are used in your book and sources. like snark i will see your funny when

imagery and i jus march tried our best to save the planet like the car took some days without using the plan since have called my friend he said she only uses jerry charles foti traditions the rest of the days useful up and i think that was all humans should try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abbotts hard school is dependent on reserve so the energy is stored in batteries it then has to limit the use of electricity turn down the air conditioning or ton of some of the lights but by generating its own clean energy the school is saving money and producing electricity without producing harmful c o 2 emissions we are way behind in nigeria in. bringing up creative and innovative ideas so protecting our environment from protecting the

future of the nation one of the greatest lessons we have to teach our children in this day and age is how to make them permanently better and safer please the example set by the school is teaching the students the importance of protecting the environment a very practical way the hope is that they will now share their new insights with us. yes indeed in our sense that european union for the stout and condescend light bulbs amaj a consumption for lighting has dropped 30 percent african countries could do that too what do you think sandra i think that would be a great idea that technology comes from the global north but there are many other ways rich countries can support the global south undoing environmental damage income aaron so many of the trees have been cut down without regard for the future

now i us get america is helping plant thousands of new ones. is the most important material when it comes to making guitars. with its density durable a t. and dark color is particularly suitable for fret boards and bridges taylor guitars a leading manufacturer of acoustic guitars gets most of its raw material from cameroon one of the world's biggest suppliers of ebony recently the u.s. based company committed itself to raising and replanting ebony trees in the congo basin forest of southeastern camera so far it's grown 5000 saplings its target is 20000 trees within the coming years matthew the project manager is responsible for the nursery. collection of seeds. the germination of the seeds care of the plants and.

cameroon is facing a rapid increase in deforestation the country is set to lose an area of forest around twice the size of gambia by 2035 according to the center for international forestry research. ebony trees which take hundreds of years to mature are disappearing fast cameroon's forests are cleared for palm oil rubber and cocoa plantations the cameroon based congo basin institute carries out research on ebony and other tree species in the region. then sound of law leads the ebony project field work he's very aware of the threats that ebony trees face. probably the biggest threat to the survival of ebony is the destruction of forests because ebony is that dense forest tree that thrives in the undergrowth they can't

grow in a plantation once the forest is removed the essence is lost they can't regenerate itself and agricultural land you go girls. in 2011 taylor guitars became the kohen of this evony saw mill in yellow one day cameron's capital . the wood comes directly from the forest to the sawmill where the company processes it to make different parts of guitars and other musical instruments. only the best wood is used to make the instruments this means that many trees have to be felled and milled to ensure the company gets the quality it once. the firm insists it's not interested in green washing trying to buy an environmentally friendly image. i think there's a wonderful opportunity for us to. not just use the word that people like

to have on their guitars and violins but also a great opportunity to be able to replace that that that would replace those trees make. a really responsible exploitation of ebony that benefits not just the people who buy the guitars or the company that produces them but also the local communities that depend on these forests for their livelihoods. the evony project has teamed up with the cameroon government local villagers and the congo basin institute to ensure a sustainable production circle. but there are also plenty of people who criticize the company's initiative. according to val sound of blue there are viable alternatives to the precious black hardwood. so this is obviously this is not necessarily the only wood that can be used and other woods are also popular but i think there's actually a very strong aspect of tradition in the end we use that money to make the guitar

because it's what the customer wants to kill or cure so. with these young ebony trees the company wants to insure its own future of course but it also hopes to give at least something back to the forest after all that's been taken from that. getting around and make us fit if there's also another one here is that one can take me literally all life there is the one in tanzania has been growing but crawling out like and if no one to want to watch me and people just because of the nightmare that it rankle with the help of the wild bank misfit you've been the from by developing i was one of it but it was operating only a little. there was a time when it could take up to 2 hours for you to get from his home to work in the morning although he lives within the city limits so. he was dependent on the

dollars mini buses that are the most common means of transport here. there's a lot of pickpocketing on the many buses because so many people are packed in together they're usually full before you even get on. t.v. the other problem is that there are so many traffic jams. so you spend a lot of time just sitting and waiting to move it's also exhausting. heavy traffic on a typical morning here with more than 5000000 inhabitants die in a salon is the biggest city in tanzania and it's growing rapidly in the next decade the population is expected to balloon to 10000000 and that poses a huge challenge for transport authorities run of luck atari heads one of the agencies tasked with adapting and improving infrastructure. people were

experiencing a look when just. their infrastructure was also some of it was not very good so many hours were lost. being on the roads were going to work in the mornings and in the evenings when people would be back home. one solution a bus based rapid transit system with a network of dedicated bus claims that bypass much of the traffic across the city the system so far stretches around 21 kilometers and has already cut travel time for some residents and half the 1st phase of the 6 phase project was finished in 2015 when we considered all the options the bus systems appear to be easier we can maintain in our city because a lot of course was cool train system and we also looked up inclusive it because when you. bring in a bus system most of the people working in that i got out of school be absorbed

into into a new class system the system benefits the environment and was supported by the institute for transportation and development policy a global organization that advocates sustainable transportation before the b r t came into doors log of public transport services provided by heavily polluting mini buses and the b r t was able to replace 3000 vehicles with $140.00 high capacity buses that all meet a much better emissions standard and it was also able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to the global credit crisis the new bus system has been a blessing for salim and he's just one of thousands of passengers who have cut up to 50 hours a month from their commute. i used to feel bad because i was getting home so late my kids were p.s. . sleep by the time i got home i want to jump on but it's so much better now you

know i get to spend time with my kids and look over the homework i'm playing with them a little so it's not the model because the rapid bus gets me home so much faster when. there are still fine phases to go until the project is complete the network will then cover around 130 kilometers until then some of it even the other residents of a salon will have to rely on dollars dollars for at least some of their journeys. what a great project the robin transit buses would then be counted late in the cold but 100 in people's lives in any case and the one that's open today on it papa thank you for joining us i do hope you other books on those i did i am some good to know you are finding open confided in uganda and farewell for me to now segue into my jack of the mission foundation talk you can stay in touch by visiting our website i'm on our social media platform to see the miscreant on to our next show as well
