experience to another level ok sense to him composer. featured in many games his music is bound to. his fans he opens doors to. sounds good. though genre that's so much more than just background music. video game music on t w. one welcome to the new edition of africa environmental magazine wrote to you by germany n.t.v. in uganda on t.v. in nigeria i am sunda to no good here in kampala uganda and of course with my

colleague from nigeria thank you sandra i am now a tiger here in a dumb ass state you like 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 concerns for climate change an artist in tanzania employing skilfully environment accompanying cameron taking of the challenge of recycling you waste safely and how sure but seems all about. the logical revolution. we start today show in harare the capital of them bob way it's true in many urban centers of 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 conservation it's come to absolve the land surroundings in bibles capital since 2005 the local organisation has been wintering the language land area. water reservoir the biodiversity consistence boast of 80 plants in the great variety of insect species it's one of 7 whittling 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 this parish 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 to make those dreams runs throughout the yet which is what they do know throughout the year

because of these areas regulating the flow from under whelmed they not here to the sea. grass the wetlands also solve other natural water purification systems because the absolve pollutants to be our roots and the also help to contain floods when there is exist rainfall. but that's not a likely problem here in zimbabwe southern africa has been experiencing a prolonged drought scene. increased development is also causing the city's water sources to run dry finding clean water has become a daily struggle for many. of ours it's always overcrowded when philip committee 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. 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 with lance 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 are not aligned his loopholes are currently being used. to develop. through petitions and court challenges the trust has now meant to stop developments were not politically what lance would in the capital cities limit. since it is held up as an example of conservation and restore ition it's important record accurate data to work. and to publicize the fact that the ecosystem is

functioning the way chewed again. is instruments are called up his own meters they're used to measure. and i go on the order is where is the world it gives us the fluctuations that happens during the course of the different seasons. israelis are to monitor or 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. to the hollywood lands trust has joined forces with communities resistance and city council officials for a cleanup campaign also involved with 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 water shortage the most important thing is to protect all the which runs around the city. so the organization is also working with the younger generations the participation is ideally needed if he wants to continue using the water is of well for the growing city. now there are 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 used to ask ills in other ways artist. in tanzania creates drawings and i mean it clips to raise awareness about global warming.

these star resolder he stands atop a famous monument in tanzania largest city dar es salaam. and this is an 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 just him ok what would he do in this heat and i decided to do any nation and so the us government started to build that conversation with my head like ok this is this is an environmental issue it's getting really hard. 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. in 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. cash time doing your bit. 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 we environment it is true that broken

mobile phones often tossed by the go outside but in some african context the recent huge market for recycling electronic waste for example the environment ministry of commerce wants to set up 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 yonder including discarded electrical appliances some of the parts can be sold like the metal from a refrigerator condensate but poisonous gases schools escape during dismantling that's bad for the environment and for people's health the injury also lead daddy to technology takes care of the proper disposal of this kind of west it's come in rooms only electronics recycling facility devices such as all the more knitters i'm

hard drives are picked up at a collection point the recycler also collects all the devices directly from companies for a small fee for service a temple yeah lots of the services are paid for by the companies and it's sustainable for the informal was $12.00 action we have placed a 40 square feet large container. in different neighborhoods to collect west say someone in charge at this site is to receive all the worst and make a pre-selection law has brought to live user perkel him in a court of an audition. to initiate it processes about 2 tons of 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 destin kemah has been here for 2

years. community and shipping here to get it i read answered entrepreneurs i really enjoy working at this far less because this is a recycling industry where we want to fight against pollution and to protect the environment so i'm proud to be part of this while operators on the log on a modern. part of our series of. the different components are sorted and kept separately computer circuit boards with barely assembly containing metals life . which are sold to milton shops. and lead trick cables can be reused immediately and the materials are more problematic. because i want to plus if we have certain types of plastics that come in different forms we have some better trees that cannot be dealt with locally we have started negotiating a deal with foreign partners in order to export these materials overseas for the

2nd thing just people. here i had read this 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. produce is 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. so if you manage to repair this telephone we can sell it to for half the price than it would normally do from one circuit 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 incoming roun. staying with the subject of waste it is no secret that large quantities of clothing and up in lawn fields shoes don't really fit any better but one john one start 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 costs donna witnessed it also means you never have to throw away any of your favorite traina. sneakers convenient comfortable and fashionable.

really like the price is right over a house and on the market you can see every year there's a new air max or whatever but then 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 haagen much 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 have been made for them by other individuals whether sneakers or whatever so that they appreciate other people's work. and also people at shoemaker by trade in 2018

haagen matu shack launched sneaker rescue customers send in their worn out running shoes and get them back in near mint condition the service costs just under 40 euros and is now used by almost 200. 50 customers per month. gets precious little support from the manufacturer its 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 your e-mail and this is. most. made in china and india in 2017 production in those 2 countries total $16000000000.00 peds but it's often the environment that pays the ultimate price thanks to

factories producing rivers with excess died that can contain costs and heavy metals . and glues used. sneakers 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. based ngo in cosa 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. on other products in the fashion segment 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 the calculations and not just for the p.r. front. meanwhile haagen is confident that his sneaker rescue mission will grow from 250 to 1000. 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 profit to the people elsewhere in the world to make the shoes at low cost. 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 was longest one. there conservationists. on the primates behavior and also walk alongside the n.t. all doctors we went out into the field with a team of the to remarry and to learn more about these.

just volatile every single gorilla in the cradles national park in rwanda. as the gorilla truckers. imitates the gorillas make to offer assurance the male by because. i want. the right just keep a detailed for a court of what's the awards get up to. that we feed it every day we. if we could it would activity every day. they report. if an. eel the pok calls the gorilla doctors the virgin mary team is dedicated to saving the. gorillas.

we all want to go out in the forest we don't take on without. the international union for conservation of nature has changed the status of mountain gorillas from critically endangered to simply endangered the total population splits between 2 regions has risen from $680.00 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 park's revenue goes towards the for structure projects in nearby 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 the guns we want to protect in this park with people who understand and. take that responsibility as well and the that is. really do. british model naomi campbell was a bounce against at this year's naming ceremony for baby gorillas and events 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. what an incredible job they're doing now from the mountains of rhonda to the plains

of south africa anyone who's been there would have noticed the thousands of kilometers of facing that cut across the lot intended to contain. 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 they are spearheading an ecological revolution. when herders lead their livestock onto 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 much but now since we have put it in you see process we're heading. in that nor is it people now changing even more on crazing that is more quote that. the herders are part of the shepherding biodiversity project it supports commercial livestock keeping while boosting long restoration on this 24000 hectare farm. was once much greener and home to millions of until open buffalo their hooves loosen 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. because we fundamentally believe

that this method of farming give space for wildlife to co-exist with production i could call tree so that's really the simple vision is to find a mechanism 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 method on the environment ecologists a 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 the. in addition the group evaluates the earth budgetary 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. and you can already start picking up changes in trains with the way the hood is being grazing especially over a longer wasting period in parts of the farm and the green index shows that quite pronounced and we competed 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 and taking the green out of pixelization but from that alone you can really start seeing 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 . i wish in d.c. process continues for the rest of their lives with us so that. any time they could be named and so that even the neighbors in. the morning is back about what it is seeing in this type of the project could inspire neighboring farmers many of them saw their london grade 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 europe jenna's next time one of the addition for now it's by by phone you are you know i've done last 8 not it's nigeria and goodbye from mean kampala uganda do visit us on all social media platforms or even
