good. even when fitted with tracking devices some amorphous can be hard to find. lucy camp going to destroy that she's trying to look at sultan ground one builds large company were as bad as found in sub-saharan africa. in hunting have left the species vulnerable it's estimated that their numbers in south africa how fall into under 1500 the population is definitely still declining over the last couple of years we've been developing conservation tools but i've still been in the experimental phase and you know always sort of trying to expand it so it makes a really meaningful difference to the population over the past 20 years the my bullet ground one bill product has worked on developing various techniques and of the wild habitat i come around mounted on a total port will eventually provide

a live stream for close i'm wondering 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 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 the elephant may come along and want to knock the street dumb 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 of the kid exclusively to wearing something grand one bills. dance to the next field the judges in the wide open ground one bills lead to eggs but only raise one cheek abandoning the one that had just seconds on the sumptuary. the rejected and 100 as them.
1:34 pm
when this project started i mean years ago the success rate of handwringing was very low 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. surplus stock that we wouldn't have otherwise and this helps us both the population in areas where they no longer could but he started. i'm dreading is complex and time intensive care must be taken to ensure the bugs don't become tame that's why the team also has another more natural method of raising chicks. has just received an egg that was found in the wild using a method called company she determines that the eggs 5 tile before placing it in a nest in one of the.
1:35 pm
so even though our facility is well equipped for handwriting we prefer to actually give to our one of our breeding see a mouse such as the one behind me and hopefully she will being naturally incubated as opposed to trying to artificially integrate the egg and when it had to she can then parent or it which is 1st prize for birds 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 someone back to the kitchen outreach programs across the country and these children have never seen a man. today. sharing some interesting fact about the. give the kids ideas of what they can do to help save god this rare creature we get quite a number of people. we started with a lot of the young kids in the baby they say or.
1:36 pm
bend 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 father as well so when they are older they can teach their own kids having made significant strides in south africa the ground 100 to predict would like to collaborate with similar enterprises in the countries so they too can. grasslands and ensure that it never disappears. what's. the. good pace of this week's doing it from where i come up with ideas. that's right sandra he has devised of. a mix of 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 inflow tech 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 grabbers 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 just called. the system is
1:38 pm
powered by the river current and needs little maintenance to make 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 version 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 learned all that they need to learn for a better future from the schools in the build in. v.t.
1:39 pm
fujis well there is a mantra school not too far from where we are today on the outskirts of legals and likely to be precise where the children learn some very important lessons about everything including being able energy they say 1st time the advantages of solar power because a school generates its own and that's all. you want the kids to sort out every one of 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 and giving high priority at the school who want our children to problem solve us who want them to be people and to move and the environment and not do things the hands you know we 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
1:40 pm
panels installed on the roof of the building. the firm was such that we have 3 or i don't think the whole lot and they'll. each of them retired when i felt by right. the. supply and butane. and i carry the iffy the dust the conditioning the lights in. have the phones on 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 finance the sandoz for financing so. we have issued the challenge of financing and we also have a challenge of getting. mom power. you know trained manpower
1:41 pm
only 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 for so who's economy news in your book any sources. likes not so much fun when imagery and i jus to mention tried our best to save the planet like the car took some games without using the player of my friend he says he only uses geritol fully 2 days the rest of the day suso up on those hours on a few months to try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abas hard school is dependent on reserve solar energy stored in batteries it then has to limit the use of electricity they will turn down the air conditioning or ton of
1:42 pm
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 mission one of the greatest lessons we have to teach our children in this day and age is how to make them them into 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 home is that they will now share the a new insights with others. 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 caught up and entire harvests are lost and climate change is making things worse now in the north of the country a co-operative is taking measures to reduce the effects of flooding in this hilly country. you know how all the families of the could team you co-operative distraught what looks like a lake has 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 and found that other people came to prepare the construction we're going to get an idea of the terrain and. some. once they were finished with their work we were finally able to plant up the whole of the valley with crops eating. in there they dug drainage ditches
1:44 pm
everywhere. 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. has a high percentage of 1st of all volcanic soil and that means even the hine mountain slopes can be used barrel farming 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 in kids in south america. for we knew about building terraces most soil on the slopes just used to get washed into the valley. there was no point in using the newer fertilizer. but now whatever we use stays where it's meant to be so
1:45 pm
the crops on the terraces are growing faster and we have better harvest. 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 found. 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 the charge and spinach sell for a particularly good price. the profit. 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 could team members of the farmers'
1:46 pm
co-operative. anyone capable of holding a shovel is out in the fields doing their bit the hope is that if enough mud can be moved out of the way the water off. the women dig out the big stones and then carry them to one of the many small water channels. the stones are being used to build dams designed to filter the water and prevent further months why. 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 mo pump and solution. let's get back to you more and more europeans are beginning to question the consumerist lifestyles masa protest against climate
1:47 pm
change and in favor of sustainable farming combine i'm more and more people are seeking to change that when you do the hard drive yes i mean it's even more something can be sustainable if you see the buying of the last item rather than a new product in britain the reason more that he's dedicated to secondhand items beat clones budgets even funds and the slides love it just last year the most made $1100000.00 euros and so on to 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 than brand new ones almost every article is one of a kind. i love this kind of book whiskey you can find things that

1:49 pm
the workshop to 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 14 shops each one specializes in different kinds of 2nd time goods like fun books. sustainability is a major topic here more and more sweets want to know where and how the products they use and consume were made but most consumers here still prefer new products to used ones. one of the main focuses in trying to reduce the climate impact is
1:50 pm
to reduce the level of production. getting things to sort of be reuse like a rather than being put into a 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 can 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 and he found a few hours later in the electronic 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. the awareness the will you need to know
1:51 pm
about everyone and as i said i hope that it will. spread all over europe the war 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 hunted goods is a cautious choice in a rich country like sweden. one of africa's biggest informal settlements on the edge of nairobi it is often the only option even getting clean water can be a struggle for years gangs of hard and one locally owned a 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 clout on this precious resource.
1:52 pm
this is kibera slum in nairobi pipes with fresh water run through sewer tunnels for a long time residents have been suffering under these and i geni 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 run up to this community it was a tough life of war what was custom was i remember walking to class land which is far to go and fetch water there you know cutting it on my shoulder having grown up in kibera in experience the effects of unsafe water 1st hand kennedy or dead or founded the n.g. or show of coal 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 we are people who makes a lot of money because the very powerful powerful men in this community
1:53 pm
the cartels run their own what's assistant selling of a prize in an edgy new 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 one bag then he was a gang member and leader of the water mafia we talked a little bit a little pot 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 it was an easy decision to switch sides in work for the ngo instead of a cartel but now he's happy with his new job. i feel ready for out. because i'm doing what i do to the community reaching
1:54 pm
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. so the water come from the wall while it's 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 book and then we pump it now to the big time from here the water is then distribute it so these are clean water on a drink of to show you that. it is clean. test good. there are some tests i feel because well treated water. kennedy
