5:34 am
men are made from. boards of motor bikes which are everywhere in the shops so a person will walk into. as if he's going to ride spares for their model break he does not on a motorbike and he asks for the acceleration of clutch cable which he can easily by at a cheaper price and we turn it into a snare and bring it into the park some of the traps collecting the evidence of the harm that the. many animals also be at the painful science this elephant almost lost to the poaches. of one of the says that such cases are common and that is why he's always on the lookout for threats every day throughout the park. out there we know we have people
5:35 am
who will always want to force themselves into a protected area to try and get these resources and. where they come to these resources and you do not have. enough information enough intelligence about them and then you are forced to move almost everywhere to try and get to know what is happening in part of their park so that you are sure that what you are managing is intact of one is convinced the tourist push is to create the illegal wildlife trade by offering them work. people like out that. he's happy with this transition from poacher to gamekeeper of the load buffalo almost killed him on foot patrol. he knows exactly the movements of the poachers. because when i was approaching nothing i could get even if i went back we didn't

can be used to grow food on different islands so it has many. applications to other places as well so if we can do it here it can be done anywhere this is the most challenging place to do it. benjamin vidmar believes that if his ideas can take root in spitsbergen they could grow practically anywhere. from i see no way to africa so modern gas got to be precise way before we station as a quashing impact previously 90 percent of the island was covered with forest now only a 10th of that remains according to environmental experts trees are mostly being cut down to create farmland or for firewood but now someone has come up with an alternative fuel source tell us most on the village does a longing a new process in which they can tell on plant waste on dry grass into fuel pellets
5:51 am
it is so much better than cutting down the mall by the way but trees. thea done and is a small town in the highlands of madagascar it never had its own school until a nonprofit organization called zohan or made it possible for the residents to build one. founder of the hana has come to visit. dr rani on tania reeve wants to increase environmental awareness and make sure that it's established in the school curriculum. team has had a series of workshops. undy rommel's on runs a course on bio char a charcoal produced from plant matter. the residents collect dry grass and leaves press them into pretty dark holes in the ground and carefully light them. they then quickly seal the hole to cut off the air supply so the biomass can slowly char
5:52 am
ricer 6 can also be used they need to char in this pit for 12 hours where the restricted air supply says it looks good but the waste from the rice harvest has charred nicely we can empty out the contents now to process it. leaves them. they want to make pellets and briquettes from the coal dust they are diluted clay to the biomass to glue together so they can then needed into bio char. it's a far better fuel source than would be curtains for 10 times longer and using bio char also has another advantage. to make charcoal i usually use. you know. the small talk one from this drug that i asked. you to use the i don't have to go far away. the residents used to spend hours gathering firewood for
5:53 am
cooking. people hear it rice several times a day. dr plains now cover the land where forests used to grow everything has been cut down. there are only trees in the town now which the organizations are hannah replanted. the best way to burn bio char is in special clay ovens protected from the wind. and the runnels on teaches the residents how to make them. the women are already using the ovens to cook at school. but the zohan a team wants to convince everyone that the stove like this needs just a 5th of the fuel and by using bio char instead of would the embers last even longer because old habits die hard though winning people over takes patience despite the many advantages what do you all know musea saves a lot of fuel. stays inside. and
5:54 am
it's much faster to cook. the. design hannity missed testing out a new machine that could help them produce by a char. it was highly praised by technicians from the provincial capital. the machine is supposed to press and compact the bio mass in the cylinders more effectively than can be done by hand but it didn't work as hoped and still needs to be optimized. in for love you have to clean it out every time you use it it's always blocked up. i think that it's fair to make. sure every fun you can have there while a. missing. leg is more fun to do you charge by. the school is also teaching the children a few i don't know now about gardening or the plants and trees here were planted by
5:55 am
pupils on the school garden or. the child plants 5 trees a year and in a way says if greenery has sprung up in the middle of the drawing grasslands for. 10 years you go you don't like it in certain we can go in if you can from the celebs cherry i forget though we can't have people that do you can look just in mangoes because you know that may was growing even in the dry. land strictly she's improved so it's just people didn't. design a team wants to plant $15000.00 new trees a year together with the people of fear donna. so that's it for us week a half an hour packed with lots of environmental news and the year's best global practices my name is now tied with lp enjoy the show thanks and by by family. and good by for me in uganda my name is sandra to nobody and if you would like to
