more on. the adventures of the famous naturalist and explorer. to soon the great clicks on the from the world's 250. marking on the for each of discovery. expedition in boyhood on dino. our citizens of the world it's our duty to do what we can to protect our planet and its resources i'm now inside we welcome senator shelby who africa where we highlight environmental topics and ideas from europe and africa as always i'll be presenting the show with my colleague in uganda hey there sandra are you doing today hello to you to i'm doing just great thanks i'm really looking for today's

program i am so honored to nobody here in kampala he has a quick look at what's coming up. we will hear about an organization coming around that promote sustainable development and female and calm it. in south africa we will meet an artist who has been creating life like england sculptures he will tell us why. and making mobile phones more environmentally friendly 2 brothers from germany show us how it's done. alfonse report takes us to come there and what we need renewable energy enter premier one week to mia she is the founder of green golds n.z. all the young women to generate sustainable energy using innovative technology the organizations aim is to provide communities with paul from or town as you so says the sun or even west by the people themselves.

because you've got to look at it when the green goddess put you on tour it usually gets on lot of attention today going to vision is used in buff young lady about 20 kilometers from the capital. he's explaining to the crowd that these solar panels need to be cleaned and they can also learn how. the young entrepreneur wants to help other women become acquainted with green technology. a group of muslim got approached to me telling me that yes we had good. both study at night but not. so i realize that. the list on. the solution so when i. wrote the solution provider problem the green girls have been touring coming on for 3 years now traveling to places that are or suffer frequent power outages.

renewable energies can help improve people's lives doing away with the need to gather and cut firewood. lighted a spark of hope. this is really going to help our lives because in times of money electricity is a bit expensive in coming. to which we are not buying you know not have to pay a fee to light up our homes. and if possible to see. today and how to install solar panels in this village if properly maintained we can solve household for up to 25 years. the kids provide enough to power at least 3 light bulbs in your city animal fire for the 1st time to 7 year old susan

and her 7 kids have their own source of electricity. for us and these power outage i will switch to sauna in the mix some food in the kitchen with the help of one bulb. into my house and i will switch on the light so i can make right away. you know how long the green guys predict also bigger plans are pete has already been dug. done can be disposed of. is a spinning that is produced under the tunnel and that families can use to run because of home funding for their road show come from international sponsors the women village does get the so lucky for free once they have learned how to operate and maintain them the time 7 year old who is a lawyer by training has a vision. we need we need we need.

you know climate. one week later the green girls are ready for their next trip in the settlements around buffy they have installed 50 units over 2 months and coming in power will be. you all know those kid creatures that why don't round black and white. that's right the penguins they're mainly found in the southern hemisphere but if we're not careful the african penguin may not be around long. that's true sandra in south africa. suffering as a result of overfishing in their habitat now and there are plans to lure them to other regions where there's plenty of fish for them to hunt how to find out in this week's.

african penguins inhabit just a few select locations on the coast of namibia and south africa in recent decades their population has plummeted due to human interference ranging from people stealing their eggs to fishing fleets depriving them of their primary source of food. conservationists hatched a cunning plan to lure the penguins to better fishing grounds on the coast of south africa's to hope nature reserves are disproved darling creates decoys out of cement they were intended to trick the birds into thinking there are already penguins settled here. when we went inside to install and we also look at the site from many different angles and time visualize the way penguins and the way of being one think the idea is to entice the endangered birds to start new breeding colonies one of the biggest challenges we faced is that no one's ever done

this before for the african penguin so we've had to learn a lot so as we go along the project organizers hope. that penguins will take the plunge and relocate. 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 stories. sustainability is a word on everybody's lips the states and most of us have become a lot more contentious when it comes to recycling plastics reducing c o 2 emissions and supporting local businesses in order to reduce the negative impact on the environment but when it comes to high tech gadgets people aren't always so concerned about the cost to nature 2 brothers in germany decided that

this practice was not acceptable and set of a company to make eco friendly every parable of dateable smartphones and also laptops now that's what i call smart. a smartphone that can be easily taken apart by hand by anyone enabling them to replace faulty parts themselves that's the concept behind german companies shift. repairability is crucial to the easier device used to repair the longer it will remain in service and the better it is for the environment not. the modular design means that a broken phone can almost always be fixed and doesn't end up in the trash no new phone has to be made to replace it so fewer resources are used the maker promises to provide spare parts for 5 years after purchase and software updates.

the shift phone being given a lively launch in nigeria samuel decks brother and business partner passed in says the country has enough people who can afford to ship phone which costs 400 euros. and unlike most other smartphones this one is made without colton the vast majority of this metallic or is mined in the democratic republic of congo by people working under appalling conditions the bosses of shift wanted their product to be both sustainable and ethically sourced. conflict. is a conflict mineral used for capacity is tiny components that store current. we use ceramics instead. they're

a bit more expensive but just as good if not better in many respects. it means we don't have to use conflict materials like. the. this if the phone is assembled in china but there are no toxic fumes in this factory because the parts are slaughtered and screwed together not welded to $400.00 euros a month wage paid to the workforce is considerably higher than the industry standard in china. to validate brothers would ideally base production in their native germany which would also enable them to personally ensure compliance with their production criteria. if you. lot of components in smart phones and computers come from china anyway so it made sense for us to start there as a 1st step. is to get these and getting those components to germany would involve lots of a number of packaging. that wouldn't be very eco friendly or sustainable. speaking

of which witness be better if potential buyers chose used phones instead of to get a device that's the best thing to do is to use 2nd 100 voices and we recommend that to our customers. not be so great for our business but it is really important because. the company is also working on a long life laptop but has had to repeatedly postpone its launch sustainable and fair production is not always a simple hope business. speaking about creating awareness that we always sustainability can be achieved without active participation from the younger generation you can just imagine how many of them live in this building here their green fingers initiative hearing legals knows this well the engine is trying to get the younger people involved in the efforts to

reduce or eliminate single use plastics where plussing has to be used which is promoting effective waste management let's take a look. at. this. is a special kind of couple these students from local schools have created high fashion from plastic disposables to draw attention to the amount of waste the items generate. that children are taking part in the green vigorous day and science fan and onto the events held to raise environmental awareness of doing this because as seen how plastic leaves the environment and how it makes it like. thank you species so i decided that if you bet at sea the best solution i need to sustain life is that it's better to be the problem now that leads on in life because. according to some research in 2020 they'll be more plastics in the ocean then use this and

similar events on the brainchild of chinedu who founded the green fingers wildlife conservation initiative in 2012 his aim is to give local children an opportunity to get close to and learn more about nature to understand how closely interlinked it is with their own lives the end o. has its own small way kids can learn about protecting and preserving the urban and natural environment the issue of wildlife is not just maybe going to see animals in the zoo i'm not even understanding where basically the problems of these animals face and some of the works we have protests we've done apart from plastic campian be plastic pollution we've also worked with some of the schools in trying to in called keep the happy tof children working with nature working with wildlife love in wildlife and i believe we believe that if that happens the students ward value.

animals all value wildlife value and wildlife involves caring for the environment a major challenge in nigeria in the sprawling city of lagos plastic pollution is a huge problem due to the lack of sustainable waste management that's why junior do mobile initiated the beat plastic pollution complaint children collect plastic waste from their homes shopping malls and local beaches. which can then be exchanged for school supplies. for 10 plastic bottles for example they get a pen. some of the collected waste is used to create art work yet another initiative for given single use plastic for the purposes on the issue of plastic pollution with basically not yet graced the surface yet is do so much to be done we are working with an organization even to some schools want to make bags

paper bags to distribute on market so that as soon as we exchange paper bags for nylon bags that i will be able to. be sure plastic will show you tonight tomorrow is currently working with 2 schools in lagos but he hopes to persuade more people to get involved so that more youngsters can learn just how closely connected their own lives are to very environment and all its inhabitants. our economic growth is often dependent on the exploitation of resources like here in nigeria without really i would have to learn the hard way that this can do huge damage should be embark that's right and it's not or it but. even a mind to in spain people finding out what it means when i open my lips provides jobs for many people boys and others. who.

cannot let us go to graze anymore. in the flood plains of sun look at my york it's been prohibited for over 20 years. back then one of spain's biggest environmental catastrophes happened in a copper mine just a few kilometers upstream. from. they're all gone favorite or negative i came here and everything was back then a little of them a little black mud that i love you so much pain from up there you know where the mine is. all of this was not in the river and then type plane to it was real you thought ok well john went through. april 25th 1980 and i started going out into the sea of the dam for the collecting basin breaks highly toxic much a by product of comfort production floods the valley for up to 60 kilometers threatening to destroy a nature reserve. cultivation has stopped here ever since and the

pasture along the river has become a restricted area. if we look at oahu i know. this homes as follows of course. we live off our fields the cattle is not allowed up there anymore. so we need to buy fota and confine the animals in the light that. now ecologist saying the end of the sea and copper region is facing. a new threat 60 kilometers to the northwest we see daughter other but expects the worst. the open pit mining to be a dog is 10 times the size of the one in i think and it's run by an international corporation seeking to increase production by 50 percent. were not allowed to film on site so easy. shows us the reservoirs. underneath a solid layer on the surface there is liquid mud. and i want to know why we have no

water here is a very acidic and there's been contaminated heavily through couple production if the dams break then a much bigger catastrophe could happen than 20 years ago. in the village next door nobody wants to believe the scenario most families here lived off mining until the factory closed for 15 years mining has restarted 3 years ago and many are happy to just have their jobs back i love him and i mean our lives have been reinvigorated by the opening of the mine. what can i say in the ecologist simply keep pushing anything and everyone. the mind keeps running in the eyes of a college this is scandalous watching from a feel of a place the citizens went in form sufficiently and hardly had any time to object everyone once of the best technologies to be used for the construction of these was a was as long as

a permission is not completely legal the pitch would actually not be allowed to be run. what business is booming copper is increasingly in demand for crisis ridden spain the valuable resource is seen as a chance in. mining as opposed to recommit soon. we began the show with strong women and women and the so we are strong women traditionally must fly women in kenya don't go out to watch. but stay at home and look after the funny but 8 young women in the saloon national park. rangers are defying tradition on on in their own money they're also raising awareness of species protection and environmental issues and unlike me they're very early risers . them. early morning in southern kenya near the tanzania and border oh. god oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh my names you have to move. to india to me lioness we should you go to the money in the morning cool for for 15 excess places to play a balance there for their long water bottle to make sure that our body started to walk and to mourn the last leap. she works in a large area of messiah community land the local group branch it almost surrounds the embassy the national park at the foot of mount kilimanjaro. but your car is one of 8 young women who have recently completed their training as rangers. head ranger is part trick. together they plan their daily missions their work can be very dangerous so any we walk in a very very house just as there will be so buffaloes. sometimes

when you go to get through the bush is a little bit. through the training precautions and how would you react how would you be aware of your leg if you go out in one. team lioness as the 8 are known as one of the 1st all female ranger units in kenya and the very 1st made up of my side women are traditionally women are considered weak and do not pursue an occupation outside of the family. strict rules and hierarchy is observed for centuries and must cycle munity so slowly being questioned and loosened and we really like the idea of this event as. once and also their community that we want to see them element to one and. then. several 1000 elephants live here

too they move back and forth between national parks in the west and the east of the country and traverse massai lands along the way there are no fences barring their path. purity low car and the rest of her team travel long distances on foot. between 20 and 40 kilometers a day the same as the male rangers. among their most important duties is talking to people who live here the messiah or semi-nomadic pastoralist who cover a lot of ground with their flocks and encounter wild animals along the way sometimes lions kill cattle elephants rampage in villages the rangers need to hear about problems and be informed if poachers are in the area. they charge animals movement patterns and register their g.p.s. coordinates rangers are on patrol 7 days a week it's

a way for these women to break out of strict traditional gender roles but the job is far from easy. to cut because the little animals they will follow and friends. and they can kill you so we're even scared because a little might also want to live so that then so their wishes can because. so you might be not aware. that they can kill you. once a month purity like car of visits her family in their village for a week's break. you know her daughter lives here and is looked after by the extended family now what. little i don't know how much i manage her female relatives make jewelry and sell a to tourists visiting the national parks nearby from

a side of women this kind of business is not considered controversial. it is also an important source of income. it allowed purity like chorus mother to pay her children's school so use. i told my father and my mother that you had to get it to me yes now i have done with my phone call you wanted me to come and death in how we live without it no outflow where where then have you had to get it me if you don't want me to go and then i told them no because you have educated me i like you implicitly this need to win back into me that. and with her regular income she can support her family. that has earned her respect in the community. with the euro. having seen purity and the other girls join the ranger unit. and seeing them working we're convinced we made the right decision you know might

have been if even if you know now whenever they get a high level of any other girl who will be accepted into a rangy unit we'll also have our exceptions made to how i live with idaho by. purity like aura is a pioneer a woman of courage. this kind of female empowerment and self-determination is something new in their society but it appears to be catching on. well that's all for africa this time for now i am saundra to saying goodbye from kampala here in uganda it was a pleasure co-presenting within you to take a everybody and. that goes for me to stand out but don't forget you idea of us in the meantime you can always check in on us on our website and social media platforms where you can also send us your thoughts 'd and your comments we really enjoy hearing from you our viewers for now i know it's a way signing off from lagos nigeria or by.
