limits. charlie and the humans. d.w. . come. from the adventures of the famous naturalist and explorer. to celebrate clicks on the from the books from 250. marking on the for each of discovery. expedition on board on dino. it's no secret that our planet's resources are dwindling that's why environment gives you ideas on how you can protest nature welcome to you. in a new goodnight you. are one more time for me too nice to have you with us for the

next hour i am standard here in kampala uganda here's what is coming up so. we want to show you how an apple can help protect the rest species africa. we also show you why solar energy doesn't always have to be. and how a music group was formed in congo thanks to the. south africa's western cape is home to stunning plants some of them found nowhere else on earth however a recent report that the poll this is experiencing the 2nd highest rate of plant extinction in the what did in large part 2. on the tentacles we met up with some resources to get the region more closely.

this rubble and is part of the famed both biome a naturally occurring community of flora and fauna in the region around cape town in south africa it's home to almost $10000.00 species of plants many of them endemic as part of the efforts to preserve this unique ecosystem volunteers come here regularly to photograph and document the plans they work for the organization of rare and endangered wild flowers also known as crew. so the reason why we have this program is that just the sheer numbers of 3 compliance that we have it's not enough for a group of scientists to go and monitor those species so in the country we have over $3000.00 compliant and so that's a massive undertaking. this species of erica is critically endangered that means it's on the brink of extinction it's found only in this immediate area measuring

less than half a square kilometer. today the crew volunteers a document in ref laura using a popular citizen science app called eye naturalist. the aim is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their data collection we can only do conservation intervention if we know that there's a problem but if nobody is monitoring what is happening to those populations then we won't know and the species might go extinct without us even knowing about the app allows volunteers to take a picture of a plant or an animal and log the time and exact location and upload the data to the eye naturalist platform then biologists and botanists can access the information and create detailed maps of those remaining habitats. the app also allows researchers like ever him to monitor the raspy she's more closely because they know where they're located as a botanist and as someone that works on plants we understand that all of plants of

the ecosystem and plants form that basis of the ecosystem and without the blondes the things that that sit on top of. the food trying above the plans there when exist we won't exist if it wasn't for plants and so i think to create an awareness about the importance of plants is really important for us. the western cape has already lost 40 species of plants since $1800.00 scientists estimate that many more are in danger the principal reasons are growing up in a zation infrastructure development and the expansion of agriculture in. around cape town many green spaces have already been lost an organization called community tree is trying to restore at least some of the natural habitats and their biodiversity. what are you doing here i'll be busy planting the ground cabbage and the pioneers that helped prepare the soil for the more sensitive. areas in

recent years that are no longer here. the thought been polluted lost all of it period and microorganisms so we are bringing those back and making space. true to come back. in another example this way sis in the cape flats area of the city used to be a rubbish dump over a 4 year period kevin cochrane and a group of community volunteers planted about $50000.00 indigenous plants and more than $300.00 trees on the site. was about as good in people and their relationship with all species as one and that throws a whole ideology. when it comes to endangered species charismatic

animals such as elephants rhinos and lions often succeed in capturing the public's attention but the endangered plants of the south african fine post are no less important. raising awareness to bring about change for the better it can be huge so let's go to rwanda where more than 80 percent of the rural population still live without electricity that means that in the evenings a lot of school kids are left in. that's why it's called. give a foundation hopes to support students and teachers. the idea is to bright. light peers are doing your best this week. even after dark the sunlight's the past for children and come on you district it's all science just solar powered lumps. like many parts of rwanda the region isn't on

the national power grid but now the children have light to do homework in the evening. as a result fewer students are dropping out of school for old grade civil so improved in the past they only had kerosene lamps which are unhealthy and dangerous now little sun makes doing household chores safer today. it was all the brainchild of danish icelandic artist. he joined forces with a german startup to distribute the lamps they've given out to african students for free but sold elsewhere in the world to finance the project the initiative also has sponsors that we and to deliver these lambs for school kids we have to live in these lands for refugees for example in settings of migration and forced migration we have to deliver our mobile phone chargers to community health workers and we aim to empower will enter printers and small businesses as much into their bring energy

. the little sun project was 1st launched 7 years ago. it's now lighting up the lives of schoolchildren info teen african countries. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send his or tweet. doing your bit. we share your story. and now off to the caucasus geographical region known as you asia i reports head it's a joy to see me there we saw the residents of a small village that sought a using solar energy to heat water which has a knock on effect of protecting local forest georgia lost 1.3 percent of its forest between 199-2010 that's according to the f a

o the aim of the initiative is to provide the people with affordable and sustainable energy systems and to reduce c o 2 emissions in the villages. stage at 6 30 in the morning and i go to open it is already out of the house with a bucket of hot water fresh from the faucet. which the cows utter has to be cleaned before milking. a little later after serving the family breakfast she makes cheese it requires a lot of patience she can tell that she's ready when the consistency is just right . and everything here runs like clockwork with no time for breaks. while there is activism housewife i have a lot of work to do i clean i make the food clear cows and lots of other things i

would have to think there's always something to do their office floor or. none i go to bennett says 60 and was a nurse for 30 years she lives with her husband son daughter in law and grandchildren. i always need hot water i'm glad we have this system. they received a solar powered water heater from a local energy cooperative. that cloned that's right they don't mind saved up a bit of money and sold a few things i didn't know it was my husband who really wanted this work never it's quite expensive but it is manageable. like. lisa is also in charge of the house work on her home plus the farm and the grandchildren. she still heats water the traditional way on

a wood burning stove in the living room she needs a lot of hot water and therefore a lot of wood from floor we save money so we can afford the wood but sadly there are a lot of families who don't care how we doing better than some we can pay for firewood the poor families current. the men collect the wood from high up in the forests of the carcasses mountains. they're still allowed to fill trees here. go get a hit is 27 he comes here regularly. go to estimates that each and every house in his area consumes about $2.00 to $3.00 truckloads of wood every year local to sit in the. oceans

will was able to cut down trees anywhere else we could cause rock slides. and that might endanger people in the village. the forest might seem lush but deforestation is rife across georgia the number of trees being cut has to be limited to ensure long term sustainability currently over 12 times that number is being felt. the work of these 2 mechanics is helping to solve the problem they're cutting solar panels. the machine they'd spac to world war 2 but it still works there part of the energy cooperative the systems they produce here should help to reduce wood burning and therefore carbon dioxide emissions. the cooperative as provided solar powered water heaters to more

than 100 homes in the village. none a good job and it's is back from the markets and the grandchildren are awake her son and daughter in law are at work so she has to look after the children no time for a break it's horrible i'm 60 years old and i think my life is almost over i do anything to give my children and grandchildren a better future i hope they have a better life. and hot water straight from the tap is a good place to start. moving over to guyana to check in on a young entrepreneur who builds how this cheaply and sustainably she uses in mud and all the locally produced materials this idea is becoming more and more popular across west africa one major advantage even when it's hot outside the temperature inside the houses stay constant no need for expensive air conditioning but that's

all they've got going for that let's go see this. technique called rammed earth construction has been formed into a wall. this new house has been built close to gunness capital and using an old method common in africa now it's becoming popular in cities. clomid a year and joy and a sense founded the company in 2016 they realized there's a demand for houses that are both affordable and eco friendly. in a country well even a continent where a lot of things are very sustainable we thought of ways that we can renewable natural resources to build with most homes and gone out they use you know some men and materials are imported so we just for let's look to see what we can actually get in to building. it's

a mixture of sand gravel and clay it's just a little bit of cement added the idea is very old. our grandparents our forefathers were already living in madhu before this came up even the china wall was built with dot when you go to mali. the mali empire most of the buildings you see they are all build with. this is how the team builds a wall. they use different mud mixtures layered one over another that gives the house an interesting aesthetic there's a good exercise through you know. all the walls really solid enough. is just like a sedimentary rock we are mimicking the 3rd dimension rock by deformed thousands of years. yes piling on top of each other over thousands of years while we are forced into a process so. when false i shine the word green after some time is because

it's like a manmade storm. the company has built 4 houses so far it started out with a little prototype building experimenting with different materials and techniques including using bricks made in. this cafeteria in north in ghana it was more ambitious and skill. this residential project is the biggest so far materials are cheap it's cost about $150000.00 u.s. dollars that's about one 3rd less than the price was invention new building and there are more advantages you get very very good in indoor air quality. the walls are $10000000.00 salinity of the regulator room temperature termites cannot eat it up it's proof due to the monolithic structure of the wall it hasn't got any water joints in them so when there's an earthquake or there's the ground shakes you

don't get them collapsing and the fact that they can stand up better to earthquakes isn't the only plus these buildings help save electricity and the building fuel school you don't even see even if you did you know this race of the i mean it's not just going to be minimal health to. sustain them by a moment to. reduce our carbon prints. the company's business is booming but a sin and have business partner given back to society is well ok 2 i think you are good to go we actually train the local people how to do construction so when we leave they also have a skill that they can use to bit at the end and also. if we need to get some more workers in last minute then we can always call people from the villages to come and help us out of construction work here. with rammed earth construction cost in 30

percent less than conventional building techniques and creating a host of new jobs too high that is helping to lay the foundations for a brighter future. saving energy would round earth construction is one way of fighting climate change but even though and major buildings need paul carman here is a great war material for producing renewable energy in the form of. just 10 cowles can make it feasible what you think it certainly sounds interesting in our next report will find out how it works congressman king on having bio justice installed we think health organization is not that complicated and superfund for the banks. it takes a week to build the unit but soon each move the ready for the 1st load of cow dung 2 weeks after that these daily farmers will have their own supply of by

a guy who was. rewarded with the buyer digest was a major investment for the phone. i wanted because. it would cost. and then i threw in. the mail got it into the coop. and you know how could you afford it. i thought to cause a problem here and i wanted to get that money. german n.g.o.s fair and its local partner sustainable energy strategies help set up these buy a gas unit and 800 others across campbell county near the kenyan capital nairobi. but if you've got an armored convoy the biogas units allow on still use col dong to generate clean and buy a gas tank and nothing is granted so no smoke astrology used which means no c o 2 emissions so each by a gas plant means photons less c

o 2 each year. the biggest problem for people here is finding the money to pay for one smallest model costs 300 euro goes for every day the market is huge in this county but the problem is a lot of people are known to work record through. the door now the money. to pronounce it. even though we get a subsidy from. campbell county is home to hundreds of small holes. they grew maize and vegetables and produce cattle feet. the yield is a familiar just enough to feed the families farming the land so adding a buy a gas unit is a big deal. fairly soon one who was able to afford more she saved some of the money she makes with her 600 egg laying hens and her cows and

money to secure a microlight. to buy a digest is fed with manure mixed with water and underground pipe takes the gas produced to his kitchen. dorna i wanted the plant after i had seen one at my neighbors the community took it we get it cooking is so easy now i used to have a garden if i wouldn't go buy charcoal and it was very expensive gotta. go now going any now i have no problem if i come home late and can have subsequently in 10 minutes. that they knew i could be gone by a by product of the by a gas unit is a nutritious famine thing agent that can be used as organic fertilizer but this year the rainy season is very late many wells have dried up and farmers here or

weren't there crops will grow. buying water is their only solution. it live in a mechanical apalachicola we're suffering because of the drought we have to buy water and it is very expensive it's hard for us we need water that symbols and our money moves with the money she saves using bio gas phyllis can afford that and. it's time the loan for the plants will be paid off she doesn't regrets the investment and slightest the biogas system has transformed her life for the better . for moral kenya we hope to prove the capital of the democratic republic of congo where we meet a bond that not only produces cool bit but also some very old which is fairly full on was making our equal heroes of the week.

unique costumes and an original sound the band full music is playing and they can show us a jazz festival dizzier. the name says it all full music means music from garbage in the local language. and. everything about this group is impressive especially the fact of the play instruments made from west everyone's dancing it was amazing the. things. everything made out of west the idea came from good phoned up disco crane he finds his inspiration at dumping sites. this button produces a nice sound. me fast so latino. this will make a good instrument for our music. a lack of proper waste management and recycling facilities has caused kinshasa to be littered with discarded plastic and other

waste commit a music you know i came here to look for things that i can use to make musical instruments but i also want to draw attention to their problem of west management in kinshasa the city is really dirty. recycle things is interesting turning a waste into instruments or using it to create costumes some people just throw stuff away but i look for ways to reuse trash because we're still not good for our well being with little and they get. so rather than buying instruments band members create their own from discarded objects. using scrap metal plastic bottles to install water pipes to make their instruments the group has gained a following who allowed their signature readings and inforced promotes recycling in a city that produces as much as 9000 tons of waste every day 3. it is my wish to see this music. all over the wild and also to raise

awareness about the importance of waste management especially in africa exactly. for the music is what i would like to find a good representative who can help us spread this message through our music and. most recently the people form and the same time we also want to teach young people to practice recycling this. he may not have the solution to the democratic republic of congo's vast garbage problems but there hypnotic music and upbeat songs are helping them to get their message across to an ever growing funk this. very cool especially because it's all done using recycled west materials i hope you will hear more from the front in the theater and i hope you enjoyed this with still now it's time for me to say

goodbye from uganda still sustainable protected environment and. now it's time to go all the best as always check us out on our website and our social media platforms and thanks for watching bye bye from nigeria.
