a live stream folklores and wintering one of the biggest threats is loss of mysteries it's really got 100 square kilometers if they lose they missed it can take up to 20 years before they reflect refined a replacement so what we've been doing is putting out these what we call super miss artificial masts and then also we need to actually protect the ministries from elephant impact and elephant may come along i want to knock the street which means we'd lose the mist but the beehives protect them and keep the elephants away because they really don't want to get stung by the bees. a few hours further east there's a center to make it to exclusively through reading soap and ground on bill's. dance to the new. field that judges in the wild southern ground one bill laid to eggs but only raise one cheek abandoning the one that had just seconds. to collect rejected and 100 as them.
9:34 am
when this project started i mean years ago the success rate of handwringing was big and with time the race has been perfected and now most of the chicks actually survive and were able to supplement the program i feel that hand-wringing is really important to the conservation of the species because this allows us. 3rd class stock that we wouldn't have otherwise and this helps as both the population in areas where they no longer could but he started to. drink is complex and time intensive care must be taken to ensure the bad don't become tame that's why the team also has another more natural method of raising chicks notational has just received an egg that was found in the wild using a method called kindly she determines that the egg is fine tile before placing it in a mist in one of the. so
9:35 am
even though our facility is well equipped for hand-wringing we prefer to actually give to our one of our breeding see a mouse such as the one behind me and hopefully she will been actually incubate as opposed to trying to artificially incubate the egg and when it had to she can then parent or it which is 1st prize for birth that we would like to release back into the wild which is the actual objective of this thing. is just one step the put it conservationists or so conduct education outreach programs across the country. these children have never seen on my account today to be saying one thing some interesting facts about the but. gives the kids ideas of what they can do to help the god piece where creatures get quite a range of people. we started with a lot of the young kids in the baby they say or.
9:36 am
they'll yell and that's what we're trying to educate them while they still young and they love and appreciate the environment appreciate the both as well so when they're older they can teach their own kids having made significant strides in south africa the ground hunted to predict would like to collaborate with similar enterprises in other countries so they can preserve. grasslands and ensure that you never disappear as. what. good luck pays up now for this week's it comes from where i come up with ideas. that's right sandra has devised. a mix. fit for human use by topping nature's resources this.

clean drinking water is hard to come by in many parts of the world. and consuming contaminated water can lead to illness or even death. waiver an innovative product developed by german company in close that could provide a solution it's a water purification system that has a triple filter and can be anchored in a river or a stream. one unit can produce up to 2000 liters of safe drinking water a day the clean water can be pumped to a holding tank on land deals with most of it was a little we made a conscious decision to use only standard parts available across the world with standard sizes if say a pipe is damaged or missing you'll be able to get a replacement wherever you are including africa that's called into. the system is
9:38 am
powered by the river current and needs little maintenance making it suitable for remote areas without a power supply. waiver currently costs around $15000.00 euros but the company hopes to make it cheaper when it goes into mass production. martin davis is now also working on a persian that can be used to purify standing water. and how about you. if you are also doing your bit tell us about. visit our website or send us a tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. education is key not just in the classroom but also in the field behind me and sometimes people wonder if the students really learn all that they need to learn for a better future from the schools in the build in. received huge is well the reason
9:39 am
to mention is school not too far from where we are today on the outskirts of legal us and likely to be precise where the children learn some very important lessons about everything including when it will energy they say 1st time the advantages of solo paul because a school generates its own and that's all i. want the kids the sounds of what these kids have lots of ideas about what can be done to combat climate change burn fuel for still feel this ride a bicycle use solar power discussions of this nature are giving high priority at this school who want our children to be problem solve us want them to be people able to move and the environment and not do things the whole way school principal because he is leading by example she runs the abas heart school the private elementary institution not far from lagos the principal has had solar panels
9:40 am
installed on the roof of the building. the firm was such that we have 3 or i don't think you all are left i know. each of them retired what i thought by right. the. supply and the building. and i agree the iffy the dust the air conditioning the lights in. the fine without in order to plaster. but getting to this point wasn't. a sizable investment all the required but the school was only able to get a bank loan so part of that money. so make it up with our own personal finances and those who are finances so. we have issued the challenge of financing and we also have a challenge all from get same. mom power. you know trained manpower
9:41 am
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 parts to ease the burden on the environment. instead of going in for some floozie come use in your book and sources. like sun up i will see your highness when imagery and i jus to mention tried our best to save the planet like the ticks on danes we felt he was in the classes that qualify for he says he only rituals for only 2 days the rest of the day soon. i think that was all humans should try actually 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 they will turn down the air conditioning or turn off
9:42 am
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 from 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 ferment a better and safer place the example set by the school is teaching the students the importance of protecting the environment in very practical ways the hope is that they will now share their new insights with us. nature's energy can be used to help us as we have seen in that nigerian school but its paws can also be destructive and rwanda heavy rains often make farmers lives

a misery leading to flooding and erosion streets are submerged villages are cut up i mean tire harvests are lost and climate change is making things worse now in an op of the country a co-operative is taking measures to reduce the effects of flooding in this him a country. you know how all the families if they could team you co-operative distraught what looks like a lake is actually potato in cornfields everything's under water the harvest is lost and that shouldn't have happened measures had been taken to protect the valley against floods. first of all a project manager from the adaptation fund came to see us this and found that other people came to prepare the construction work and to get an idea of the terrain. once they were finished with their work we were finally able to plant up the whole of the valley with crops eating. in the they dug drainage ditches everywhere.
9:44 am
then the project was over. but not long after they left we realized the problem still wasn't solved the water just came back. the adaptation fund is a united nations initiative that aims to help developing countries cope with climate change that has a high percentage of volcanic soil and that means even the high mountain slopes can be used for arab will fall the problem is heavy rain washes the soil down into the valley the solution is to build terraces into the slopes following the example of the incas in south america. for we knew about building terraces the soil on the slopes just used to get washed into the valley. there was no point in using the newer fertiliser. but now whatever we use stays where it's meant to be so the crops
9:45 am
on the terraces are growing faster and we have better harvest. is the cabbage green village it's one of many so-called green villages in rwanda that are helping to promote sustainable development the houses here are designated for victims of the floods each family is given a plot of land to farm. i've planted potatoes beans and corn on my land. i've also specialized in leafy vegetables. there especially good for the children to ensure they get a balanced diet plus chard and spinach sell for a particularly good price. the profit to his selling his fruits and vegetables has allowed him to build up a flock of sheep again. he now has a few chickens to. back in members of the farmer's
9:46 am
co-operative. anyone capable of holding a shovel is out in the fields doing that bit the hope is that if enough mud can be moved out of the way the water drain off. the women dig out the big stones and then carry them to one of the many small wall to channels. the stones are being used to build dams designed to filter the water and prevent further months finds me but finally there's relief all round as the water starts to drain away. still it's too late to save the harvest. and while the situation has been improved and now what the farmers really need is a more permanent solution. let's get back to you more and more europeans are beginning to question the consumerist lifestyles mosse protest against climate
9:47 am
change and in favor of sustainable farming on the common i'm more and more people are seeking to change that when you do the hard drive yes i mean it's a even consumptive country sustainable if you want to see the buying of the land by tim rather than a new product in britain the reason more that he's dedicated to 2nd on until the clones got its leave in front and the sides love it just last year the most make 1100000 euros in sales on something many items ending up in fields tickled. welcome to the world's most sustainable shopping mall. and everything on sale is secondhand which means the items are more affordable limp around new ones almost every article is one of a kind. i love that. the book box whiskey you can find things to bet
9:48 am
dollars not that not everybody has something special something unique recycling we like recycling we don't want to buy new clothes new things. i mean i'm just runs the electronic shop like everything here his computers televisions and mobile phones donations. the return. shopping mall in the swedish town of school tonight is located next to a recycling center. people bring unwanted items of all kinds here and anything that can be used overhead goes to the mall. everyone who comes here they have an object if they come here to survey vironment and help others to make some money not return here to throw. it won't work with dogs without the. study or like responsibility. every day brings and you find.
9:49 am
this is something my colleague would have a look at. in the workshop the team brings defective electronics like this television back to life. of the syrian born shop manager this work is about more than just earning money. we have a responsibility toward this environment so if. you're poor so it's not good for my kids my grandsons and the future. to reach you know a shopping mall has full team shops each one specializes in different kinds of 2nd time goods like fun books overload and. sustainability is a major topic where more and more sweets want to know where and how the products they use and consume woman eat but most consumers have still prefer new products to use once. one of the main focuses in trying to reduce the climate impact is to
9:50 am
reduce the level of production i thought getting things to sort of be re-used in the like being put into recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels. to produce new things alex return to teach is one of the many workshops organized by the more participants up cycling techniques and how to use various waste materials they also. learn about production conditions in other countries and how to consume more sustainably. even if we're apart in a consumer culture or. what we consume also makes a huge difference and what impact it has on the environment than a few hours later in the electronics shop the donated television is ready to go on sale. tomorrow hopes that the idea behind 3 to no shopping mall will catch on everywhere because of the awareness the will you need to know
9:51 am
about the work of everyone and as i said i hope that it will spread all over europe the wards and when that happens more and more people will start to appreciate the value in things that have been used before. while choosing sick and hunger goods is a cautious choice in a rich country like sweden. one of africa's biggest informal settlements on the gates of nairobi it is often the only option even getting clean water can be a struggle for years gangs have had a monopoly on the water supply that meant that only the people paid the gang bosses got water and even that was a dubious quality but the efforts of one man wrecking their plots this precious resource. oh.

this is kibera slum in nairobi pipes with fresh water run through sewer tunnels for a long time residents have been suffering under this and i genie conditions but there is hope now a connection of blue pipes run above the slums shanties they provide residents with clean and hugh porter all thanks to kennedy or did. growing up in this community it was a tough life of all what talk was was i remember looking to connect. to go and fetch water there you know cutting it on my shoulder having grown up in kibera and experience the effects of unsafe or to face hands kennedy or did they founded the n.-g. o. show of course but he would soon face fierce opposition from the so-called water cattails idea of water was so the question to me it was a little bit dangerous at the same time because the people who makes a lot of money because the very powerful powerful men in this community
9:53 am
the cartels run their own what's a system selling of a prize in an a gini quarter my dream was to bring clean affordable water to the community. but mike pipes was cut to pieces. although he was afraid of the cartels kennedy decided to approach monday of what back then he was a gang member and leader of the water mafia were talked a little bit a little public would have for you he really quit a really small amount of money if it were not. that's how it started and nobody ever touched the water. for monday who it was an easy decision to switch sides in work for the n.-g. o. instead of a cartel but now he's happy with his new job. i feel sorry for our. of course i'm doing what i said due to the community reaching
9:54 am
out to former gang members like mandy who was the key to making this community service work the price of water reduced to one 5th of the former price and the quality is better to ensure the water meets the safety standards kennedy installed a water purifying system is the only one in the kibera slum. the water come from the water bowl is powered to the ro water tank our side which is 24000 liters comes in to be now to be treated so now the water is no drinking and then we pump it now to the big attack from here the water is then distributed so this is our clean water or a drink if we show you that. it is clean. tested good. there are some tests i feel because well treated water. kennedy
