this is not the kind of freedom that we. coded morello we become a gateway to islamist terror. an exclusive report from a destroyed sitting. in the sights of fire starts may 20th on d w. a warm welcome to the new edition of africa environmental magazine brought to you by germany and t.v. in uganda on china's t.v. image area i am sunday in kampala uganda and of course with my colleague from nigeria thank you sandra i'm now tiger here in our state to be precise great to

have you with us again for happen are packed with ideas on how to protect our environment but also look at some great initiatives designed to make our world lead to a cleaner and more beautiful here are some of them had to climate change an artist in tanzania employing skilfully environment accompanying cameron taking of the challenge of recycling you waste safely and how sure but. a logical revolution. will start today show in harare the capital of them bob way it's true in many urban centers the population there is growing steadily from year to year and that means the need for housing is growing too but not all construction projects think about the damage to course to the environment we meet up with an organization that fights to protect vitally important ecosystems.

and. almost every day nature conservationists come to absolve the land surroundings in by because capital since 2005 the local organisation has been wintering the lag with land area. water reservoir the biodiversity ecosystems boast over 80 plants in the great variety of insect species it's one of 7 wycliffe sites in zimbabwe that he could nest internationally. this area covers about 5 square kilometers but less than 10 percent have been perceived. out of desperation and because they can't find affordable property in harare some people are building houses on these ecosystems. we don't have these weapons we won't have the will to make those dreams run throughout the yet which is what they do know throughout the year because of these areas regulating the flow from underwhelmed if they're not here to the sea. the wetlands also savas

a natural water purification systems because they absolve pollutants to the roots and they also help to contain floods when there is existing for but that's not a likely problem here in zimbabwe southern africa has been experiencing a prolonged drought scene 18 increased development is also causing the city's water sources to run dry finding clean water has become a daily struggle for many. this hoping will of ours is only overcrowded when philip community members in need of water and we have no choice but to help them if there's an outbreak of cholera we all be in danger because it's exposed. just close. and trust has been set up that oversees various environmental organizations and activists to do that they are looking into ways of protecting and restoring the city's remaining wetlands with the help of local communities and donations but the biggest problem is land management say the activists or the

country's environmental law forbids the look made on which lets the authorities continue to offer land for sale. the legal aspect. concerning wetlands is really very important and needs to be address very urgently. at the moment we are working in an environment where. the legal aspects are not be known or are not aligned his loop holes are currently being used. to develop wetlands to petitions and court challenges the trust has now meant to stop developments will not politically wetlands within the capital cities limit. since it is held up as an example of conservation and restore edition it's important record accurate data. and to publicize the fact that the system is functioning the way chewed again. is instruments are called up it's all meters they're used to measure. and i go on the

order is where is or take a new world it gives us the fluctuations that happens during the course of the differences and. is well is. that there is no much obstruction or fall within these wetlands. but challenges remain with plants are often used as dumping grounds because they're open spaces. today the hollywood lens trust has joined forces with community residents and city council officials for a clean up campaign it also involves removing some invasive species which block the flow of water in the wetlands streams. we have a lot of illegal activity happening almost. like. all illegal activity whilst protecting. the environment but it doesn't

and here are the effects of the climate crisis continue to intensify including drought and what a shortage but most important thing is to protect or the which runs around the city . so the organization is also working with the younger generations the participation is a good lead if he wants to continue using the water reservoir for the growing city . now many different ways to take a stand against climate change just think of activists. from sweden she has inspired young people around the world to go out and demonstrate for climate protection other people use their skills in other ways artist. in tanzania creates drawings and i mean clips to raise awareness about global warming. the istari soldier he stands atop

a famous monument in tanzania largest city. and this isn't garamond. he's an illustrator and animator. while passing the statue on one exceptionally warm day he had a sudden inspiration. because it was so hard they just hit ok what would he do in this heat and i decided then invention and so the scary moment started to build that conversation within my head like ok this is this is an environmental issue it's getting really hot why is it getting hot and so i wanted to start off that conversation through the video. the response on social media was overwhelming. i even had people reaching out to me and say hey can i use this video for my presentation on climate change for school go ahead. and gary

mandara and the starry soldier have now joined forces to raise awareness about other environmental issues. one recent video has them taking on plus. stick waste. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. trying doing your best. we share your story. i don't know how our viewers throughout africa feel but it seems to me that the more developed we become the more literally waste piles up in our rubbish dumps that's not only ugly it's harmful because a lot of it contains toxic substances into the environment it is true that broken mobile phones often tossed by the gold flight but in some african context the

recent huge market for recycling electronic waste for example the environment ministry of color wants to set up a recycling infrastructure in the country's largest city to talk with the toxic junk all reported went to the capital one day. garbage income iran's capital your own day including discarded electrical appliances some of the parts can be sold like the metal from a refrigerator condenser but poisonous gases whose escape during dismantling that's bad for them vironment and for people's health the injury or solidarity to technology takes care of the proper disposal of this kind of west it's come in ruins only electronics researching facilities devices such as old morning i'm had drives i picked up at a collection point the recycler also collects all the devices directly from

companies for a small team to serve as a damper young loss of the services are paid for by the companies and it's sustainable for the informal was 12 action we have close to 40 square feet large containers. in different neighborhood to collect list say someone in charge at this site is to receive all the worst and make a pre-selection law. perkel him in a court of enormous user. initiated processes about 2 tons of waste a month including lots of computers sometimes more than $100.00 component parts are collected during disassembly metal is reusable and some of the electronic parts. all together about 24 people walk at the center of dust in kenya has been here for 2 years. drills in shipping shit they did it i read

answered entrepreneurs i really enjoy working at this far that's because this is a recycling industry where we work to fight against pollution and to protect the environment so i'm proud to be part of this water level based on the log on a modern. car to see our series of. the different components are sorted and kept separately computer circuit boards with their electronic assembly containing metals life and which are sold to melting shops. and lead to kibbles can be reused immediately as the materials are more problematic . as a wall of plastic we have certain types of plastics that come in different forms we have some batteries that cannot be dealt with locally but we have started negotiating a deal with foreign partners in order to support these materials overseas for saying to people. here ahead revis being checked and it still functions

around 20 percent of the devices can be repaired and resold that's great for the environment and for the company. and the other benefit is that this technology then becomes available to people who normally would not be able to afford it. or to produce a grimaces one of our objectives is to promote their distribution of modern technology that is to give people who cannot buy a new device the opportunity to get a cheaper 2nd one from us want to ask you for duty so if you manage to repair this telephone we can sell it to for half the price than it would normally do from want to circle of christian a former you west gets a new life that's good for everyone and reduces the garbage pile up in the city but there is still not still do they need is hoping for even more government support to

be able to go big scale and help manage the top syquest income iran. staying with the subject of waste it is no secret that large quantities of clothing end up in lawn feels shoes don't really fit any better but one someone starts up has come up with an innovative plan to tackle the problem sneak a rescue it meant old worn out shoes turning them into trendy fresh looking for it with it not only cards done a waste it also means you never have to throw away any of your favorite trainers. sneakiness convenient comfortable and fashionable. really like to buy through a friend of her house alone or a locker you can see every year there's a new air max or whatever and people have to have them. that quick on the market

make you quick on your feet but they're also quick to wear out and it's not read that they cost between $1.20 euros every year europeans throw away an estimated 1200000 tons of shoes. that's all the more shocking given the fact that pretty easy to repair something hard and. all too well but his mission is about more than saving sneakers from a premature to minds. we want to show people a way of having more respect for things that are made for them by other individuals whether sneakers or whatever so that they appreciate other people's work. and also paid it shoemaker by trade in $28.00. launched sneaker rescue customers send in their worn out running shoes and get them back in near mint

condition the service cost just under 40 euros and is now used by almost 200. 50 customers per month. gets precious little support from the manufacturer it's original spec parts a few and far between this is. difficult to find the big corporations would rather their shoes are not repaired of course and keep parts under lock and key so this is all our own initiative and we want to make our own souls which are in any case far cooler than the originals as they were in our industry. most shoes on the global markets are made in china and india in 2017 production in those 2 countries totaled 16000000000 peds. but it's often the environment that pays the ultimate price thanks to factories producing rivers with excess died that can contain costs in a general heavy metals. and glues used.

sneak has come with a long list of troublesome chemicals formaldehyde from the soles can cause cancer and flooring compounds that make the shoes waterproof and not biodegradable. benton's man what a balun based ngo and khosa helping to improve environmental standards and working conditions in the shoemaking industry he says it's difficult convincing manufacturers to make the switch to sustainable production. sneakers leather shoes and other products in a fashion segment with the price does not necessarily reflect sustainability standards of the company protect the environment or the people making the product we want to see them taking on more responsibility to ensure that sustainability is something they consider in their cost calculations and not just for their p.r. front. meanwhile he's confident that his sneaker rescue mission will

grow from $250.00 pounds a month to a 1000 for him it's not just about the financial dividend. from an objective is to grow to the point where we can complete the circle so eventually we can give a part of our profits to the people elsewhere in the world to make the shoes at low cost given up to. dream that he believes will become reality and then not too distant future in around 5 years time. point is the random rain forest has been the site for the wall longest one. there conservationists. on the primates behavior and also walk alongside the. doctor we went out into the field with all that to remarry and to learn more about these. great just volatile every single gorilla it will cradles national. as the gorilla

all want to go out in the forest we don't take on a lot of. the international union for conservation of nature has changed the status of mountain gorillas from a critically endangered to simply endangered the total population splits between 2 regions has risen from 680 a decade ago to over a 1000. tourism has become a significant source of revenue to finance conservation work and support local communities each per bit costs a 1500 dollars last year the park took in $19000000.00. 10 percent of the parks revenue goes towards infrastructure projects in their villages including clinics and schools children here. of caring for the forest and it's what life. we don't want to protect the park with

guns we want to protect in this park with people who understand and. that is a possibility as well and the. lady. british model naomi campbell was a bounce against at this year's neighboring ceremony for baby gorillas an event designed to draw attention to rwanda's conservation efforts. and in the name will be. the birth of every baby gorilla is cause for celebration for its own sake and for all the people here. to gorilla tourism. wow what an incredible job they're doing now from the mountains to the plains of south africa anyone who's been there we have noticed the thousands of kilometers of facing that cut across the lot intended to continue. this is actually have

a devastating effect on the environment what's happening. well frank says are not only a deadly trap for the wildlife also there to prevent livestock from roaming freely which leads to overgrazing and asian some herders are now reversing this trend however and there spearheading an ecological revolution. when herders lead their livestock on to the great plains of the in central south africa the animals on allowed to linger. to protect the vegetation from overgrazing they have to be kept on. the move as a result they can only eat the tips of the plant's. head chef the dixon cooper has years of experience and of seeing how the landscape has changed since he's been grazing his animals here it has made it sound more pitches in the grass growth

was not that mice but now since we have put it is the process we're heading. in that nor is it people now changing even on crazing program that is more quote that should be. the herders are part of the shepherding but biodiversity project it supports commercial livestock keeping while boosting land restoration on this $24000.00 hectare farm. that was once much greener and home to millions of antelope and buffalo their hooves loose in the topsoil while their droppings fertilized it. in a bid to recreate the great migrations of the past the project employs shepherds to lead livestock over the plains to. the project leader he's confident that herders can help revive the whole region. as we fundamentally believe that this method of farming give space for wildlife to co-exist with production i

could culture so that's really the simple vision is to find a make an ism by which we can. foster bio diversity on production farms. the thousands of kilometers of fences needed for intensive livestock our culture one of the main reasons why wildlife has disappeared. fences prevent the animals from roaming free as they search for grazing land and water. they often end up tangled in barbed wire. in order to study the effects of the fenceless farming methods on the environment because just some monitoring the project. over the past 2 years ahead researcher janine mcmanus and a group of students have recorded the number of plant species in selected study sites. in addition the group evaluates to earth budget taken index the index is determined by the amount of green seen on the ground by satellites and allows

researchers to compare plant growth in different regions over time. you can already start picking up changes in trains with the way the hood has been grazing especially over a longer recent period in parts of the farm and the green index shows up quite pronounced and we compared it to traditional farms where it isn't quite as pronounced and they seems to be quite a significant color it's just looking at the pixels alone you know taking the green out of pixelization but from that you can really start to see a difference. there are many positive signs. areas that have been grazed by the herds are now seeing thicker plant growth. slowly while the animals are returning to the farm more than 500 antelope have been counted and even a leopard was recently sighted. a major success for dixon in cuba specially since south africa is still recovering from one of the worst droughts in recorded history

. lucian this see process continues for the rest of the legacy that is there any time they could be named and to so that even the neighbors in other countries can be more inspired about what it is seeing in this. project could inspire neighboring foulness many of them saw their land degraded and lost livestock due to the severe drought for the shepherds however this year's lambing season turned out to be very successful adding another $800.00 sheep to the herd slowly but surely the project is turning profitable. and that's all from us this week we hope you enjoyed our reports on environmental topics from africa and you wrote janice next time one of the nation from now it's bye bye from your lie in a dumb last state not it's nigeria and goodbye from mean kampala uganda do visit us on all social media platforms or even drop us a line if you'd like to share with us your thoughts coming we hope to see you again
