7 lucic then beethoven's pastoral symphony is the foundation of an international art project. to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's 1st beethoven worldwide. through project starts june 4th on t.w. . the damage is at the forefront of our minds these days and of course what's happening is also our got it back on the environment yeah in lagos were used and the need to wear a mask is increasing the amount of waste all over the place but there's still

plenty to talk about when it comes to the environmental issues today we are a few reports that we hope will cheer you up a little. in lagos nigeria. things looking in uganda right now hardly new to simulate picture here for example ever since the government imposed on don't use have equally felt the impact with no tourists coming through the research insufficient funds available to buy food and a medication to cater for the young the most well that's so much noise being affected by colvin 19 bought me a drug that you could join us on these new episode of equal africa i am sondra to nobody here in kampala uganda and here's what is coming up shortly. we know how the core numberous affects your medicine but what about other primates we visit on chimps sanctuary in uganda to find out in kenya we'll hear about

a project that allows locals to and i'm leaving grazing butterflies and in uganda we'll meet a group of young activists with a mission saving the a forest. let's start our show right in uganda also we are only too aware that the cold winter in 1000 pandemic has spread like wildfire all across the globe ont he tells afflicted nearly every aspect of our lives so wouldn't it stand to reason that these aggressive virus also poses a greater risk to our closest causing the chimpanzees conservationists think it does and that is why one chimp sumptuary is taking every precaution possible to protect the endangered. before boarding the boats in the showings of the mainland just sarah cwindows careful to disinfect the skin and clothing for overseas the well being of

chimps in uganda is known by now and in lake victoria. it will and that is a constant for the history celebrity a little bit later we're going to forget about. primates. and also believe or know what. else is overwhelming that. the chimpanzee trust provides a safe haven for 50 chimpanzees of the 95 acre island. most to blame of victims of illegal wildlife trade and human wide life conflicts these days because of called good 90 this stuff here in highlight food from the mainland is even more strictly controlled than usual. for example the company that by the time is just off the top going from the farm up to the

truck drove up to the market. also into our supply so by the time we thought it good we both know it was under a bit of weight has come from so we're very careful about it all the food we get we disinfected. genetic studies estimates that chimps and humans share name to a message of a d.n.a. . so not surprisingly the of so susceptible to many of the same diseases. and while the as it been a case of cold 19 reported among the chimpanzees so far just short of a coon to under victory mary team at taking no chances wanted it that this is a decision president wanted to give us. given that this excuse and that another care. and a moment of his team's time to face anything that they notice that is enough of the

numbers in this change and then they are able to put cooler that the navy on for many as tourists will welcome to visit and even spend a minute on big number i learned. that also changed because of the recent one day make these there's a cowardly bod from the island to be tough for the animals but the loss of income is not being in a negative impact on the trusts conservation efforts the income we were running from tourism was going a long way in feeding the chickens a little taking care of the stuff and paying them and now we're not able to do that so long we're already topping into our resolves and we're worried of course a little bit can fund that about how long we can keep this going or how long this crisis is going to go for us as resources dwindle they team are looking to record for a solution despite their picture and dedication to the primates who knows it will be difficulty but it can give us to steal and

a few guys they shouldn't goes bankrupt so this a lot of cause for high level of polygamy and under the kitchen still we are not filming they can't divide gonda africa people or that it can lead to this kind of war so our presence. is important in the time i made that announcement that they're shutting down the island for been canceling the stuff on the one sticking to them i think that they could pad for an inevitable but don't because now they're walking 20 days such as. the clinton days out to be away for climate. chimpanzees i can see that endangered the chimpanzee trusts info to help save the species from extinction i like to be funded by donations from around the wilds that is simply meant to make income generated by 2 ice visits but now that the island has been shut down due to the pandemic whew. they're not sure how much longer they will be able to continue

the i want to. tense times for the chimp positive or negative toria the repercussions of the covert and i think crimes are being felt everywhere in the capital. with professor christof and gun. that's right sondra on this press is an environmental scientist with an air of expertise in environmental health with a whopping 1000 pandemic on everybody's mind and that was also the focus of the eye discussion in particular. on the environment in both the short term and the long term. as the traffic is reduced and you could get through production has been decreased they missions that would normally ok well too much we retreat to use but this is

true for the short term the fact is that when industries come back online they're likely to speed up production to make up for that got. too close is going to be a gap in the production of such actions which they have to catch up. many of. the cheaper forms of. the most polluting. and you find that as to the street use the starbucks ought to get would be cashed. so there you do you use those cheaper associates all through. energy as much as possible to at least break even. we encroach on forests on farms she serves encroaching into what clones and so forth and all of this brings us into closer contact with wild animals

and now the transmission of these. geneticists these pathogens viruses and so forth from a mills like bats to humans is going to be more probable. i think to have a longer term engagement. we need to have other people involved we need environmental scientists we need zoologists because you know that. current thinking is that the disease spread from a wild animal to mom and to suspect him back to a box. but just as we have. these are not exist moving from animal to

mind go south disease that can move from man to animal. you need a zoologist to know without animal ghoul because then that's a potential spread of infection dynamos unfortunately they don't carry mobile phones so they cannot be traced that way you need to do the actual study and. we need to prepare because there will be another that just corner type cyrus whether it is 3 years time or 5 years' time or 10 years they'll be another one we need to know more about environments what is happening around us we need to understand the implications of climate change and how that influences all these other stuff just so we do the right thing right from the beginning.

there's a lot of knowledge with. conditional. custodians of knowledge i did yes i can teach us knowledge knowledge that is we are losing day by day which is not documented we have to use that knowledge combined with the morton approach. to many ways that we can do this but we need to start thinking positive planning for the future because if we are always in that reactive mode. this crisis. hopefully the people in charge here in africa will also take appropriate action from ghana we now had to egypt on this week's doing your bit with a couple of guys who have found a way to recycle

a valuable material by turning them into something you could call monumental think of. a majestic figure that stands 6 meters tall. it's a statue of bast the ancient egyptian got some protection and. this rendition is unique it's made from 3000 pieces of scrap metal. it took. a month to weld them together and the booth the ancient egyptians believed the villain definity protected the home from evil spirits and disease. the contemporary sculptor admires his ancestors connection to nature. and i know. i like that they were respectful of animals and the world around them i specifically

chose a material that is environmentally friendly and long lasting which was their specialty ways and had. only just creations are made from used materials. that people seem to survive as an artist while supporting and promoting the benefits of recycling. and how about you if you. tell us about it visit our website. a tweet. hash tag doing your best. we share your story you. see every week in our doing your bait segment one idea we go small make a world of difference to the problem surrounding the forestation that's something we talk about a lot on the show all too often people take advantage of mater of bounty

and treated badly because they haven't considered might be alternatives in order to preserve a reserve in kenya local residents were offered an opportunity to. call that depend. on the help of the forest. butterflies a deft and elusive netting them is hard work but it's work that's paying off for many people living in a kenya's arab yuko so coquet forest the largest and most intact coastal forest in east africa it's rich in wildlife with close to $300.00 butterfly species we call it the christmas butterfly this is a newborn butterfly. so like 5 minutes to come. this butterfly will be able to fly. and enjoy life. and the lives of a butterfly is just a month after month

a butterfly dies and michio day. in recent years things have changed a lot in underground the forest people who once gathered wood to sell now farm butterflies and moths instead it's a sustainable living priscilla jolly is one of the locals who really is pupae for export around the world the community based enterprise has made her aware of how important it is to preserve the butterflies forest habitat. before they set up the projects we used to go into the forest to get the firewood and that was bad. the environment. that's why we decided to join the butterfly project. and then we realized we were able to earn a lot more than we did before. it also allows us to pay our children's school fees . are one of. the delicate insects are bred for butterfly parks and

educational and research institutions around the world the various species have different requirements when it comes to the type of plants they eat. these women are feeding caterpillars leaves from the forest soon they will end to the people stage the kenya wildlife service ensures the butterflies are raised sustainably only 74 species have been approved for farming and some may only be reared it certain times of the year. we go into the forest in groups to collect the butterflies. and when we return home each of us 3 is pupae on their own. plan how much we earn depends on the type of butterfly and the amount of work involved. but we can earn between $20.00 and $50.00 a week. but. the project

supports 1500 people in the community the work takes skill but doesn't require the ability to read or write all of the coordination is managed by the keeper peo butterfly project it was here that people die of being sorted before they're sold the butterflies and moths won't emerge from their chrysalis isn't cocoons until they've reached their destination. after we get the p.p.i. from the farmers we pack them in special containers boxes that are extremely lightweight. then we send them to customers in the united kingdom and turkey pick up. some of those customers then sell the people i on the other parties talk. so we also have some customers that have to fly houses of their own. you know look you up in

a butterfly houses for $200.00 p. pike can fetch up to $130.00 providing a sustainable livelihood which has been a boon here particularly to women. preserving the local forest starts also a mission of environmentalist they are part of the. practices that are still widely used in agriculture in the west african country farmers use the resulting organic fertilizer yes and near to but all too often the bushfires get out of control and this is hard. for the environment the activists with the young boys education foundation travel the country to people to change home for traditions. oh. through these young people are willing to act. isn't gold in flames for group is

trying to minimize the damage further it's a losing battle. began long before the fire. too many trees have been cut down in the area he explains. from the young voices educational foundation. harvest is lost and then students like this are becoming a problem here. it's a nightmare for the farmers. this is the 1st time i hear this friday. do you know the course of the fire and moore but believe me it was. said by somebody extend that. into my. back of the town of new barca. meets. with team members to discuss strategy is to tackle widespread slash and burn practices designed to talk about it at a village meeting between january and march over $115.00 bushfires were reported in

the region the local fire chief who works closely with the young volunteers is concerned for the future you cannot signator so once we have decided to be there 1st. as over decide to bring the people let them understand that. falling down. on the truth bending bending down that it will go to. heaven is not plan to all be gone under miles that we are the. david biblical ones to keep that from happening he started to become a teacher and breeds pigs to finance his education the earnings also allow him to pursue his musical and visions i even saw some of these to raise funds for my song by turning to our forestation. some of the money also went into producing

a music video to fund the promote environmental awareness a group dances from his hometown supported him by appearing in the video. once. do you. run into trouble for me to look at what that. music is one of the ways to get the message across but why the group also does community outreach to inform people about the consequences of cutting down trees the effects are clearly visible in this region nearly all rivers have dried up and the only ones to run in is a dire river. it's a lifeline for more than 20 communities farther down the stream but many fail to take into consideration. this composition of traditional methods to produce palm oil. or the process to pull the waste directly into the water it is soon swept

away by the current but the environmental impact will linger much longer while june and july mainly use for tree planting activities the environmental activist spend the rest of the time educating the root population about nature conservation and the effects of climate change i was doing is wrong. i didn't know about using the word. and they thought it was. old habits are hard to change so the activists found that when this club's in more than 50 schools in the region as a part of a companion a former station they have helped to organize a demonstration for schoolchildren with. 3 plants and a mound a student lot of them are doing this weekly or monthly bill or whatever their goal . ranking of 3 and indicate we'll extend this idea to the other else houses and we

could be out there in time to get their hands dirty planting trees in the school yard to welcome response from the regular routine so through our friends we need to align them in our community get them what they really busy planting trees is more than a symbolic act for david bloom the children have learned a lot about the crucial role as the trees play to provide shade to protect rivers and soil and play a vital role in tain in the health of our environment. well at the time when i live overshadowed by the crisis because you conspiring if we can manage to raise awareness of environmental issues and children then there is hope for real change the crisis can also be an. opportunity here in company change is already underway ever since the lockdown was imposed it's been absolved there has

been improved air quality around. some changes will probably be fast but some could be adopted for good it is a good buy for me. here in kampala. thank you sandra i'll bring about change is our mission here. i'm using is one way of making it happen i'll leave you with a song for mccain young clean up initiative and joy. for environment i'm now inside me from lagos nigeria see you next time about the church and. that's just my. feeling. to get stripped down. from my focus my company. around the globe what to. do you can find the need.
