1:40 pm
under that's true you know why because then you don't need to cut down trees to generate it on its carbon dioxide emissions tend to be less enterprise besting germany has been to be needed to short term supply knows there the technology it has developed to provide households we. used to. buy or the health fear and agree no alternative to many traditional cooking fields but how can it be distributed sustainably across africa agricultural engineer catchin says come up with a solution she develops the bio gas backpack which is easy to transport as the gas is very light catching birds started her own company and found african entrepreneurs who sell biochar systems to farmers. they operate the systems to
1:41 pm
produce and sell because touching believes this kind of social enterprise is more effective than development change and if you want to know the business it's more sustainable. to have the center promote burnished acknowledge each company can be proud of. she is now giving training to business partners from 20 african countries. 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. what a great project and it is winding partners around what another great range it is to
1:42 pm
come up with alternatives to conventional plastics and fingering its products because they are west of resources and of course an environmental problem let us make 2 exam one product design is what developing a call from the packaging. packaging that decomposes after it's used. that disappears without causing any damage to the environment. researchers and designers around the world are trying to realize this vision. among them a product designers cutter and spend savers. the trigger for that work is the amount of trash that they themselves produced. 2 years ago there's a just started producing composite of all film impacts made from cellulose from which waste which decompose when they come into contact with bacteria in the soil
1:43 pm
in france italy and switzerland you can put them in the organic waste bin. indictment of my in germany this isn't possible at the moment we're working to provide evidence that our film decomposes brilliantly in industrial composting facilities and together with waste management companies we're also striving to find a solution to the problem of how these materials community in sorting plants so that they can be turned into compost in germany to. another challenge is coming up with packaging that seals in a roma. you just. every foodstuff comes with its own challenges not serfaty cheeses bioactive coffee is aroma sensitive so. every product has its own characteristics and they have to be tested i can't make any assumptions that's the challenge you have to try everything out and that takes time and it takes money because it's a course material. but the savers have already won over many customers for the
1:44 pm
single last cellulose phone for example vegetable supply is like sun mom monica's son month switch to box made of composite a bill from 6 months ago as the jam and waste disposal system doesn't cater for them some mom has come up with an interim solution. and your customers can definitely return these bags to us and we'll compost them not all of our customers have compost heaps or a composting bin but they can bring them back to us from post on it i think some of . the vegetable delivery from would also like to avoid using conventional plastic for their potted halves but because the thin film used for the leafy greens would come into contact with soil and the pots it would start decomposing too quickly causing it to rip too easily. zavis have developed a new film for the application it takes twice as long to come past. avoiding
1:45 pm
packaging altogether is unrealistic in today's global food industry but there are more and more alternatives to conventional petroleum based plastic film and bags. we know head to the salt gonda where local people with the support of the authorities have planted almost 2000000 trees over the past 25 is honest a busy planting will it is an amazing long time refers to and projects which revived national park and also helps people in the area to meet. they take responsibility for making a difference a great example to all meant coupled with environmental protection. oh. fiona niecy means clearing the bush to give tree seedlings that says to bury sunlight so that you can grow i mean he did she was helping to plant trees as part
1:46 pm
of a project called face the future it's a forest restoration initiative by the uganda why their facility in the national park cracks in the rocky joe i'm not in game with john i'm going to mock before joining his project i was a nonsense obama back in my village maybe he was farming frozen for the next eve and doesn't want to drink here as a viagra then jambo for those that are not wonderful so new model or borderline much better here so no i can afford to pay school fees for my children for me not for that i'm offended that god quit for. in the man $960.00 is said to be part of this forest and cut down many trees for decades later they were a victim and restated by the government since then the aim has been to restore the forest cover. david morse egypt was supervising the tree planting can still remember how things used to be. nice. to me as after the

1:48 pm
in come from the forests to dig long train chairs around when national park then they donated beehives to the communities where their pots come they sense there is a mirror to the blue sobel continent pampa growth from about point. so there you have to look for and always to monrovia but when the human robot they framed. reported prince so it's clear they can't jump so they have to go by habitat which is the force local farmer mouth yes charter agrees that the intervention was successful the elephants now see back in the forests and the honey from the bees as also supplemented he's income. chatterer received training as part of the project and is now growing trees alongside his food crops he doesn't need to go to the forests for firewood so often he also better because the trees of helps

1:51 pm
you know said let's hear no you know tell us why. when you know enough you senti sets out on expeditions into go down goes our national park she often heads streets for the fever tree forest chances are good that a young scientist will find what she's looking for there she's research and ends with the help of an aspirator she gathers specimens of every species she finds. a lot of people want. a big thing. and. i really want to show the people not just the big animals have any importance and now the system but also. and so because they provide for your.
1:52 pm
ecosystem would look very different without the performing important tasks such as spread in seeds eating digest and plants and distribute new trends within the forest by decompose in large quantities of organic matter. one of the world's most successful animal funds their presence in almost every habitat and have developed in an incredible variety of ways you sense the estimates that goes out national park alone over $300.00 different species. why it's so fascinating because you see we have different worlds flawed we do we have different landscape and also have to contribute in terms of diversity offer and. not enough assented belongs to the new generation of female scientists in goza the park wants to see
1:53 pm
more women working to protect its wildlife u.n. figures show that countries with great agenda inequality also have greater levels of forest cover lost air pollution and other environmental problems. they sent his colleague lowry carmel as part of the d.n.a. barcode study aimed at analyze and and identifying the parks types. that work done here as part of the world wide undertaking to catalog all even creatures and decode the d.n.a. the global genetic database will better understanding of the diversity of life on earth and the different functions of species that 2 women hope they will inspire girls to consider careers in science and conservation the work we do with dignity aids i don't know if you know this but the communities around the park. you know they get married here. they make up
1:54 pm
a family. event where they can have a test finished school and it's important for them to have. community development essential to go and goes on national parks conservation approach it's authorities want to turn local residents into nature conservation allies using education clinics and economic development 'd. yet it. has to be key elements in this is the girls club led by 2 mentors girls meet in the village to learn and discuss problems. is the leader of the program for hair education is the basis for everything here and on. the girls clubs was basically to encourage parents to send their girls just school and because we men generally do not have a value in this communities and also they are not empowered. nobody gives finding to the education of women. for the package to this is the long term strategy it
1:55 pm
will hopefully guide people out of poverty and generate opportunities for young woman to lead self-determined lives maybe some will even join the sentry and her colleagues on go to goes a scientific team. in recent months not enough sente has already identified $200.00 species she's the 1st female scientist to map this type of a city including goza and set in the one to be the last. will come to the end of this week's episode of. box don't worry they'll be plenty more focusing on what you and i can do to kill for the wild we may have it good luck to all of us on to you to the new year to its books and all that you have been working with. for such a long time thank you sandra and i've enjoyed every one to 2 under the edition of the show where yes we've covered a lot of ground already but this deal so much more to explore and so many
