steambath. so many different walks of life. some are. oddly trying to put all of this comes straight from the heart to its former c.e.o. and when there's no more delusion the march into come. from is the loss to their final resting place the russians are g.w. documentary. hello and welcome to this new edition of the africa b. environment magazine brought to you by channel selves in nigeria dr bell in germany on m.t.v. in uganda. the niger conservation foundation in lagos i just largest city am

co-presenting with me today is my colleague sundra hello to you sandra how you doing hello nieto good to see once again on the great things to all of you watching us from different parts over the world i am sundered to know you're coming to from kampala the biggest city in uganda we do have some amazing reports for you today let's get started. we will take you to want to find out about it in foods to protect the antelopes leaving beer then to work in a fossil where women run a project to republish plastic waste they kill from the streets. and we end up in. a famous american company is helping to replant in bunny forests. but forced to kenya to meet one of the rarest species of antilla in africa the mountain bungle they are critically endangered with less than $100.00 still living

outside calls obvious since they are of the most porches predictors disease and hard bitten clothes the government is the land and has implemented a plan to save the species and also boast its numbers at the fault of mount kenya it will africa visit some commute of course a vision it's working hard to make but the reality. of. animal keep us women more ruthie has come to check on his charges he looks up to mountain bongos of the mount kenya wildlife conservancy he feeds them twice a day and makes sure the head of their antelopes is intact. i love the job and i'm proud you know having that. that was the norm but now it's here so it's makes me do it with with me not with me a lot so i like walking here i love it and my aim is to have as many as i can.

here in captivity the animals don't have access to all the vegetation they would find in the wild that's why they're given a need to tional supplements known as well good fields these spatial pellets are reaching protein and pride which grows the antelopes immune system. the air force seems to be paying more into the kenyan wildlife conservancy. the mountain was nearly extinct in the wild in kenya and so are a few bones and taken to the us is breeding and in pools of and 4 we received. from different in the us and from those in a team we started the breeding program here on sunday and. 77. last youngest boy was born on the 7th of july and it is this i mean the sort of the

bungle. with the increase in numbers the conservancy plans to release $25.00 goes into the mount kenya forest where kenya forest service ok if it has. $800.00 acres for a protected century. this enclosed area as the foretold mount kenya is not just a sanctuary for mountain bungalows knows the rare white zebras in the hads of buffalo also find protection here from porches and pretend we divide this into different parks because of the. challenge that we have a moment. in the near future when we put them in the sanctuary this is problem would be so they don't completely so what you can see here is one of the breeding hunts. conservancy also offers to us to tourists and schoolchildren to get revenues and donations are the main sources of much needed funds. on the program is very

important was number one because we are trying to create awareness to the future generation. species like the mom to. grow up. passing the information to this their parents and different. people to minimize the cases of watching. the habitat destruction of israel and one of the highlights for visitors is that i knew more orphanage where keep us looked after old friend and injured animals before returning them to the wild about 15000 kenyan schoolchildren come to visit that $170.00 every year others excited to be here. i think little munchkin i love. for. all this i was. very interesting creatures who are. full of the mountain long ago. which has been endangered by the protests. it's not just porch in the threatens

their reaction to lopes they also have to contend with the very rare diseases and the loss of the in natural habitat. eric more into an avid animal keep looking forward to the coming weeks soon 5 new mountain bungle to be born increasing the species chance of survival. with part of a lot of interesting reports about people who practice recycling or up cycling from car to as funny to bugs made of drinking straws and women school or party in a fossil came up with another idea you need to take a look at that yes indeed sandra they turn plastic bags into new products will meet with them now in a new episode in our series of doing your bit where we will showcase initiatives of individuals who are really doing something to help the environment.

and. plastic waste clutters the environment and contaminants the soil. and plastic bags are the biggest problem. for a is a woman's co-operative in because you know fast so. it supports both female empowerment and environmental protection for. the women here wash the plastic bags on disinfect them. in. the next step is to cut the bags into thin strips and roll them on to spindles. in the. the thing fred is woven into durable fabric. which is used for making briefcases and other stylish bags. the item sells for between 20 and 50 euros. the woman in the co-operative 250 year as

a week. not allows them to support their families. doing something good for the environment. 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 story. now protecting the environment is one thing economic activity is another but they don't necessarily have to be in conflict with one another but in our next look at a funny situation in balad where conservationists are warning that government plans to turn the idyllic meandering river pripyat into

a major commercial waterway ultimately linking the baltic the black sea would be an ecological disaster. this might look like a leisure kayaking excursion but for constantine chick karloff it's a protest for the river. this is the 3rd year that the chairman of the bell russian environmental organization bogner has organized tours like this one. he wants people to experience the unspoiled nature along the river and to demonstrate against an inland waterway which could be built here. at a company for us the purpose is like a european version of the amazon river. this place is unique because people can come here and see what rivers used to look like what nature in europe was like once . and if we can preserve these large areas of wild nature we're also hoping to keep

the ecological balance on the european continent alonso going to skew. the proposed waterway would cut straight through 11 nature reserves and the activists say it could destroy a unique ecosystem the canal is supposed to connect to the baltic sea and the black sea its route goes through one of the last big wetland areas in europe with rare black older forests. 90 percent of the birds in belarus live here including endangered species some animals nest directly on the untouched banks. this is tall covers 35 kilometers along many narrow wild sections of the river which would have to be dug out to allow commercial traffic. when the group stops for a break they talk to local that's about the pan of water way. often people in the

villages only have limited sources of information and we can be one of those sources for them so that they don't only get information from state media but also hear a different opinion. should be sure the war because and then they can decide for themselves what they want the rivers infrastructure to develop or do they want to protect the environment around them and keep it healthy. with us they are. day 2 of the kayaking campaign many here are participating for the 1st time during breakfast constantine chalak off shares his concerns about the water way he believes that balance should be investing in eco tourism on the river people at rather than in cargo transport. don't use them without constant people don't think about leaving these spots untouched by simply leaving them to nature itself. someone. to just sit down peacefully just like this and simply watch to hear the birds singing or

watch things slowly changing get caught up on by your so it's in your own. the activists warns that the construction of the canal could destroy the wetlands here the river bed would have to be deepened to allow big ships to pass that's why constantine chalak of is doing what he can to prevent the pre-pay out from becoming another example of an ambitious economic project with catastrophic consequences for the natural world as indeed it would be and here. i think. there are those who often wonder if school really teaches you what you need to know for the future well there is that in the mantra school not too far from here on the ask that of lagos where the children certainly learned some important lessons about renewable energy about sustainable living on the earth. they do indeed for one thing they think fox hunt the advantages of solar power because the school

generates its own but that's not all and we'll show you why. all of. this out of what these kids have lots of ideas about what can be done to combat climate change burn fuel for still feel is ride a bicycle use solar power discussions of this nature are giving high priority of the school who want our children to be problem solvers who want them to be people able to move and the environment and not do things where you know we school principal because the is leading by example she runs the abbos heart school the private elementary institution not far from lagos the principal has had solar panels installed on the roof of the building. firm was such that we have ordered out all her life and they all. each of them retired what i focus by right.

the client reviewed in. an artery the if in the dust the air conditioning the lights in. the barn and of which are in order cluster. but getting to this point wasn't. a sizable investment required but the school was only able to get a bank loan so part of that money. to at some make it up with our own personnel financing and those who are financed and so. we have issued the challenge of financing and we also have a challenge of getting. mom power you know trained to manpower all understand the setting up of the projects the automation parts of the project and then the maintenance also. the students of land that everyone can do their part

to ease the burden on the environment. instead of going in for so far as you can use in your book and sources. like. see are funny when anna g. and i jus. tried our best to save the planet wreck the car took some things without using the plan or called my friend he says he only uses geritol for only 2 days the rest of the disuse will upon i think that was all humans should try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abbotts hard school is dependent on reserve so the energy is stored in batteries it then has to limit the use of electricity turned down the air conditioning or ton of some of the lights but by generating its own clean energy the school is saving money and producing electricity without producing harmful c o 2 emissions we are way behind in nigeria in. bringing up

creative and innovative ideas so protecting our environment and protecting the future of the nation one of the greatest lessons we have to teach our children in this day and age is how to make them their mentors better and safer place the example set by the school is teaching the students the porton support tempting the environment a very practical way the home is that they will now share their new insights with us. yes indeed in our sense that european union faced out and can descend light bulbs and edge of condemnation for lighting has dropped 30 percent african countries could do that too what do you think sandra i think that would be a great idea near to the technology comes from the global north but there are many other ways rich countries can support the global south undoing environmental damage

income. so many of the trees have been cut. now i. plant thousands of new ones. is the most important material when it comes to making guitars. with its density durable a tea and dark color is particularly suitable for bridges and taylor guitars a leading manufacturer of acoustic guitars gets most of its raw material from cameroon one of the world's biggest suppliers of. recently the u.s. based company committed itself to raising and replanting ebony trees in the congo basin forest of southeastern camera so far it's grown $5000.00 saplings its target is $20000.00 trees within the coming years matthew the project manager is responsible for the nursery. collection of seeds.

the germination of the seeds care of the. cameroon is facing a rapid increase in deforestation the country is set to lose an area of forest around twice the size of gambia by 2035 according to the center for international forestry research. ebony trees which take hundreds of years to mature are disappearing fast cameroon's forests are cleared for palm oil rubber and cocoa plantations the cameroon based congo basin institute carries out research on ebony and other tree species in the region. they'll sound to blue leads the ebony project field work he's very aware of the threats that ebony trees face.

probably the biggest threat to the survival of happening is the destruction of forests because evony is that dense forest tree that thrives in the undergrowth and they can't grow in a plantation once the forest is removed the essence is lost it can't regenerate itself and agricultural land you go girls. in 2011 taylor guitars became the cohen of this ebony saw mill in yellow one day cameron's capital . the wood comes directly from the forest to the sawmill where the company processes it to make different parts of guitars and other musical instruments. only the best wood is used to make the instruments this means that many trees have to be felled and milled to ensure the company gets the quality it wants. the firm insists it's not interested in green washing trying to buy an environmentally friendly image. i think there's

a wonderful opportunity for us to. not just use the word that people like to have on their guitars and violins but also a great opportunity to be able to replace that that would replace those trees make . a really responsible exploitation of ebony that benefits not just the people who buy the guitars or the company that produces them but also the local communities that depend on these forests for their livelihoods. the evony project has teamed up with the cameroon government local villagers and the congo basin institute to ensure a sustainable production circle. but there are also plenty of people who criticize the company's initiative. according to val sound to blue there are viable alternatives to the precious black hardwood. so this is obviously

this is not necessarily the only wood that can be used and other woods are also popular but i think there's actually a very strong aspect of tradition in the end we use that money to make the guitar because it's what the customer wants to kill q so. with these young ebony trees the company wants to insure its own future of course but it also hopes to give at least something back to the forest after all that's been taken from that. getting our own to make us fit if there's also another one here is that one can take me literally always there is the one in tanzania has been growing pot calling out like and if no one told the why me and people think the nightmare that it grateful with the help of the wild bank makes me think you mean the from them by developing i was one of them but it was operating only a little. there was

a time when it could take up to 2 hours for e.g. to get from his home to work in the morning although he lives within the city limits so. he was dependent on the dollars mini buses that are the most common means of transport here. there's a lot of pickpocketing on the many buses because so many people are packed in together they usually fall before you even get on. the other problem is that there are so many traffic jams. so you spend a lot of time just sitting and waiting to move it's also exhausting. heavy traffic on a typical morning here with more than 5000000 inhabitants die in a salon is the biggest city in tanzania and it's growing rapidly in the next decade the population is expected to balloon to 10000000 and that poses a huge challenge for transport authorities run of luck atari heads one of the

agencies tasked with adapting and improving infrastructure. people were experiencing a look when just. their infrastructure was also some of it was not very good so many hours were lost. being on the roads were going to work in the mornings and in the evenings when people would be back home. one solution a bus based rapid transit system with a network of dedicated bus lanes that bypass much of the traffic across the city the system so far stretches around 21 kilometers and has already cut travel time for some residents in half the 1st phase of the 6 phase project was finished and 2015 when we considered all their options in bus systems appear to be easier to implement you are simply because of your course. train

system and we also looked up inclusive it was when you. really know the system most people would keep valid out of school be absorbed. into a new system the system benefits the environment and it was supported by the institute for transportation and development policy a global organization that advocates sustainable transportation before the b r t came into doors log of public transport services provided by heavily polluting mini buses and the b.r.t. was able to replace 3000 vehicles with 140 high capacity busses that all meet a much better emissions standard and it was also able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to the global credit crisis the new bus system has been a blessing for salim and he's just one of thousands of passengers who have cut up to 50 hours a month from their commute. why did i used to feel bad because i was

getting home so late my kids were p.s. . by the time i got home i want to jump on but it's so much better now you know i get to spend time with my kids and look over the homework i'm playing with them a little it's not going on because the rapid bus gets me home so much faster when. there are still 5 phases to go until the project is complete the network will then cover around 130 kilometers until then some indeed and the other residents. will have to rely on dollar dollar as for at least some of their journeys. what a great project the robin transit buses would then be kept in late in the cold but 100 in people's lives in any case and the one that's open today it papa thank you for joining us i do hope you other bill clinton both i think i am some good to know you are finding open confided in uganda and fell well for me too now it's

a good way and i joke of the mission foundation talk you can stay in touch by visiting our website and on our social media platforms to see them on your screen on to our next show as well by.
