focus on hate speech prevention and sustainable production. all of this odes are available online and of course you can share and discuss on africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. crime fighters to mindanao. damage is at the forefront of our minds these days and of course what's happening is also are going to affect on the environment here in lagos were used and they 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 have a few reports that we hope will cheer you up

a little. in lagos nigeria. things looking in uganda right now hi i'm new to simulate picture here for example evidence the government imposed on look 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 without so much money is being affected by covert $19.00 but we are glad that you could join us on this new episode of africa i am sondra to nobody here in kampala uganda and he is what is coming up shortly. we know how the corner by myself they can see humans but what about other primates we visit on chimps sanctuary here in uganda to find out in kenya would hear about a project of it and i was you know closed on and i'm leaving grazing butterflies and in ghana we'll meet a group of young activists on mission saving the

a forest. let's talk always shall write to in uganda only too aware that the cold in 1000 pandemic causes spread like wildfire all across the globe ont he tells affected nearly every aspect of our lives so wouldn't it stand to reason that this aggressive virus also poses a greater risk to our closer to causing the chimpanzees conservationists think it does and that is why one chimp sumptuary is taking every precaution possible to protect the endangered eps in its current. before boarding the boats of the shows of the mainland just erik windows careful to disinfect the skin and clothing for overseas the well being of chimps in uganda is known by many nick victoria. it will and that is

a constant for this just a little bit later we're going to forget about them. and also a bit of our what. else is of the on in the past. 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 the news you. for example does up with by the time is just off that of going from the farm to the truck driver up to the market. also into our supply so by the time we thought it gets we don't know what's

under of it and where has come from so we're very careful about it's all the food we get we disinfected. genetic studies estimates that chimps and humans share name to us into their d.n.a. and. 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 coup and a victory not a team at taking no chances on it it did this is a decision president wanted to give us. given that this excuse and that another care. then they might have his team found if they stand up to that they notice that was enough of the number in this change and then they are able to put cooler that the navy on for many as 2 wars to well come to visit and even spend the night and the number i learned. that our soul changed because of the recent one day make

these there's a cowardly bite from the island be tough for the animals but the loss of income is not being in negative impact on the trusts conservation efforts on the income we were running from tourism was going a long way in feeding the chickens and also taking care of the stuff and paying them and now we're not able to do that so along with already topping into our resolves and we're worried of course a little bit can find that about how long we can keep this going or how long this crisis is going to go for as resources dwindle they team are looking to go for a solution despite their picture and dedication to the primates who knows it will be difficult for they can't give us to steal and if you guys they shouldn't goes bankrupt so this was cause for high level of polygamy and funded education so we are not filled and they can't give i gotta pull out their guts people or that

eclipse or this kind of war so our presence as for the title is important from the time i made the announcement that this happened on the island been counseling this stuff on the one sticking to them that they're sure that they prepared for an inevitable it will shut down because now they're walking 20 days such as. for 20 days out to be away from climate. chimpanzees i can see that endangered the chimpanzee trusts to help save the species from extinction i like to be funded by donations from around the wilds that is supplemented by income generated by 2 ice visits but now that the island has been shut down. they're not sure how much longer it will be able to continue the. tense times for the chief cause of victoria the repercussions of the corvette and

crime being felt everywhere in the capital. met with professor. that's right sandra this is an environmental scientist with an area of expertise in environmental health with. everybody's mind that was also the focus. in particular. on the environment in both the short term and the long. as the traffic is reduced and good gets through production has been decreased they missions that will normally ok will automatically read read read use but this is true for the short term the fact is that when industries come back on line the likelihood is that they're going to speed up production to make up for the gap to

close there's going to be a gap in the production of such items which they have to catch up. many of. cheaper forms of and she are the most polluting. and you find that as to destry use a straw backup to get going because truck so they would use those cheaper associates all through their energy as much as possible to at least breakeven. we could see all forests on farms yourselves encroaching into wetlands and so forth and all of this brings us into closer contact with wild animals. and now the transmission of these. zoonosis these pathogens

viruses and so forth from animals like bats to humans is going to be more probable. i think to have. engagement. we need to have other people involved we need environmental scientists we need zoologists because you know that the current thinking is that the disease spread from a wild animal to mom and to suspecting and back about. just as we have these are not to diseases moving from animal to mom goes south disease that can move from month to. you need a zoologist to nowhere without animal girl because then that's

a potential spread of infection dynamos unfortunately they don't carry mobile phones so they come to be traced that way you need to do the actual study and. we need to prepare because there will be another it's corner type lives whether it is 3 years time or 5 years time or 10 years they'll be another one we need to know more about i environments what is how to know around us we need to understand the implications of climate change and how that influences all these other factors so we do the right thing right from the beginning. there's a lot of knowledge with. conditional. custodians of knowledge i did just indigenous knowledge steps is we are losing

day by day which is not documented. we have to use that knowledge combined with the morton approach. there are 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 react to float. this crisis. hopefully the people in charge here in africa will also take appropriate action from ghana we now head to egypt on this week's do 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 they call it.

a majestic figure that stands 6 meters tall. it's a statue of bast the ancient egyptian goddess of protection and cats. this rendition is unique it's made from 3000 pieces of scrap metal. it took. a month to welcome together through derangement gyptian it's believed the feline definity protected the home from evil spirits and disease. the contemporary sculpture admires is ancestors connection to nature. 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 i guess the. only this creations are made from used materials.

that people seem to survive as an artist by supporting and promoting the benefits of recycling. and how about you if you. tell us about it visit our website said to us a tweet. hash tag doing your best. we share your story you. can see every week in our doing your bit segment one idea we go small make a world 'd of difference take the problems surrounding the forestation that's something we talk about a lot on the show all too often people take advantage of nature of bounty and treated badly because they haven't considered that there might be alternatives in order to preserve awarded reserve in kenya local residents were offered an

opportunity to. call that depend so much of it on the health of the forests. butterflies said death and the lease of a netting them is hard work but it's work that's paying off for many people living in a kenya's arab suck ok forest the largest and most intact coastal forest in east africa it's rich in wildlife with close to $300.00 fly species we call the sun christmas butterfly this is a newborn butterfly so like 5 minutes to come. this but the player will be able to. enjoy life. and the lives of a butterfly. after mouth a butterfly. bird. in recent years things have changed a lot in and around the forest people who once gathered wood to sell now farm

butterflies and moths instead it's a sustainable living priscilla elysium a 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 project we used to go into the forest to gather firewood and that was bad for 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 . 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 read at 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 as pupae on their own. working on 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. the project supports 1500 people in the community the work takes skill but doesn't require the ability to read or write or if the coordination is managed by the keeper peo

butterfly project it was here the 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 light weights. and. then we send them to customers in the united kingdom and turkey. because. some of those customers then sell the people by on other policies. we also have some customers that have a butterfly houses of their own. butterfly houses. $200.00 p.p.i. can fetch up to $130.00 providing a sustainable livelihood which has been a boon here particularly to women. preserving the local

forests. environmentalist they are fighting against practices that are still widely used in agriculture in the west african country farmers use the resulting organic fertilizer yes and nearer to but all too often the bushfires get out of control and the disastrous consequences for the environment the activists with the young voices education foundation travel the country to people to change such harmful traditions. oh. these young people are willing to act. isn't gold in flames the group is trying to minimize the damage but it's a losing battle for the home began long before the fire. too many

trees have been cut down in the area explains david we're live from the young voices educational foundation the entire harvest is lost and then students like this are becoming a problem here in ghana it's a nightmare for the farmers. this is the 1st time i hear you on this friday yeah it's just you know the course of the fire and no but i believe it was. said by somebody that extend that. into my family and destroyed you. back in the town of new balika david 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 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 already started to ring the people let them understand that. falling downed trees or cutting down the trees bending the bending down to it will go to. heaven is not plan to all be going under mild that's. the 1st. day we'd be able 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 are you going through some of these to raise funds for my. 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.

you. know when it's. just. 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 compazine the traditional method to produce palm oil . in the process they pour 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 useful 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. they didn't know about it you didn't know what that. and they thought it was. old habits are hard to change so the activists have 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. through planting a mound a student so they can be doing this weekly or monthly but i want to go up we want to know of trees and indicate we'll extend this idea to have a real policies and we could be out there in time to get their hands dirty planting trees in the school yard welcome response from the regular routine so that through

our friends we need to rely on them in our community they wanted daily basis planting trees is more than a symbolic act for david bloom the children have learned a lot about the crucial role that 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 mountain crisis because you conspiring if we can manage to raise awareness of environmental issues in children then there is hope for real change the crisis 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 the city some changes will probably be fast but some could be adopted for good it is a good buy for me. here in kampala hope to. thank you sandra i'll
