so called content monitors to say they scrub terrifying images from online platforms. a horrific job for starvation wage the straining is enormous. the cleaners social media's shadow industry starts june 8th on t w. damage is at the forefront of our minds these days and of course what's happening is also on that effect 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 have a few reports that we hope will cheer you up

a little and in lagos nigeria. things looking in uganda right now high near to simulate picture here for example ever since the government imposed on look don't have equally felt the impact with no tourists coming through the research insufficient funds available to buy food and a medication to catch up with the animals without so much noise being affected by culvert 19 but we are glad that you could join us on these new episode of africa i am saundra to nobody here in kampala uganda and here's what is coming up shortly. we know how the core numberous affects humans but what about other primates we visit on sanctuary here in uganda to find out in kenya we'll hear about a project that i was looking closed on and i'm leaving grazing butterflies and in ghana we'll meet a group of young activists read a mission saving the

a forest. let's talk always shall write in uganda we are only too aware that the covert 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. before boarding the boats on the shores of the mainland just serach windows careful to disinfect the skin and clothing for overseas the well being of chimps in uganda is known by many nic victoria. it will and that is

a constant for this trip a little. bit about. primates. and also very for. us as of about in the past. the chimpanzee trust provides a safe haven for 50 chimpanzees of the 95 acre island. most of them of victims of illegal wildlife trade and human wildlife conflicts these days because of coffee 1000 this stuff here in highlight food from the mainland is even more strictly controlled than usual. for example it is up and by the time it just off the going from the farm to the truck very well to the market. also then to our supply so by that i mean that it gets we don't know

who was under a bit of weight has come from so we're very careful about it's all the food we get we disinfected. genetics type system it's that chimps and humans share name to us into their d.n.a. and. so not surprisingly he had some susceptible to many of the same diseases. and while the as it been a case of cold would maintain reported among the chimpanzees so far just short of a coon to underbid to remarry team at taking no chances on it it did this is the decision present when it does because if i was. given that this excuse and that another care. then they might have his chance and if they see anything that they notice that was in our number in this team then they are able to put cooler that in the area for many as 2 wars to well come to visit and even spend a night on the number island. but 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 are being and may get to impact on the trusts conservation efforts 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 concerned that about how long we can keep this going or how long this crisis is going to go for as resources do indeed they team are looking to go for a solution despite their fiction and dedication to the primates who knows it will be difficult but they can give us to steal and if you're going to use they shouldn't goes bankrupt so this is one cause for high level of commitment and a good occasion so we are not filming they can't divide you know ground out for

africa people hold that eclipse or this kind of war so our presence. is important in the time i made that motion that happened on the island been counseling that stuff on them once and for them but they're sure that they could pad for an inevitable but i don't know that walking 20 days such as. for 20 days out of the away fund it. concede that endangered the chimpanzee trusts therefore to help save the species from extinction i like to be funded by donations from around the wilds that is simply minted income generated by 2 ice visits but now that the island has been shut down due to the pandemic he say's they're not sure how much longer they will be able to continue the a one to. 10 times for the chimp positrons term like victoria the repercussions of the corbett 1000 crisis are being felt everywhere in the gun

non-capital. more deaths met with professor christof and. that's right sondra on this professor is an environmental scientist with an area of expertise in environmental health with a whopping $1000.00 pandemic on everybody's mind that was also the focus of the eye discussion in particular. of the virus on the environment in both the shot and the long term. as the traffic is reduced and good gets through production has been decreased they missions that would normally ok. much we reduce but this is true for the short term the fact is that when industries come back online the likelihood is that they're going to speed up production to make up for that got. too close is going to be

a cut and production of such items which they have to catch up with. many of the cheaper forms of. the most polluting. and you find that as you destry. a starbucks ought to get going because truck so. do you do you use those cheap or associates of. energy as much as possible to at least break even. we encroach on 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. to

moses these pathogens viruses and so forth from animals like bats to humans is going to be more probable. i think to have. good. 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 money and to suspecting him back about. but just as we have. these are not exist moving from animal to mind go south disease that can move from mom to animal. you need a zoologist. with that animal girl 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. we need to prepare because there will be another that just corner types iris whether those 3 years time or 5 years' time or 10 years they'll be another one we need to know more about 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. additional. cost students of knowledge i did yes i can do just knowledge 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 and 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 head 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.

a majestic figure that stands 6 meters tall. it's a statue of bastille the ancient egyptian goddess of protection and cats. this rendition is unique it's made from 3000 pieces of scrap metal. it to be bringing. a month to welcome together the boot the ancient egyptians believed the feline definity protected the home from evil spirits and disease. the contemporary sculptor admires is 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 raising to have. only his creations are made from used materials.

that do the same to survive as an artist by supporting and promoting the benefits of recycling. and how about you if you're also doing it tell us about it visit our website set us a tweet. hash tag doing your best. we share your story you. see every week in our doing your bit segment one idea we go small make a world 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 might be alternatives in order to

preserve. local residents were offered an opportunity to. call that depend so much of it on the health of the force. butterfly is a deft and at least save a netting them is hard work but it's work that's paying off for many people living in kenya's arab to cope 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 the sun christmas butterfly this is a newborn butterfly so like 5 minutes to come. this butterfly will be able to fly fly away and enjoy life. and the life span of a butterfly is just a month after month a butterfly dies a natural break. 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. when we return home each of us really is pupae on their own. 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 to. but doesn't require the ability to read or write or if the coordination is managed by the keeper peo butterfly

project 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 the 2 extremely lightweight. then we send them to customers in the united kingdom and turkey. because. some of those customers then sell the people by on other parties. so we also have some customers that have a butterfly houses of their own. when a butterfly house is. $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. environmentalist in their part in the. practices that are still widely used in agriculture in the west country farmers use the resulting organic. yes but all too often the bushfires get out of control and cause. for the environment the activists with the young voices education foundation travel the country to convince people to change much 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. the home began long before the fire. too many

trees have been cut down in the area explains david good little from the young voices educational foundation. i harvest is lost and then students like this are becoming a problem here in ghana it's a nightmare for the farmers. these things that 1st time i hear you on this friday i. do know the cause of the fire and no but i believe it was. said by somebody that extend that. into my family. and. back in the town of new balika david bradley meets with team members to discuss strategy is to tackle widespread slash and burn practices that is something 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 decided to bring the people let them understand that. fallen downed trees or cutting down the bending the bending down to it will go through it. does not plan to all be gone 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 even through some of these to raise funds for my. forestation. some of the money also went into producing a music video to fund the promoter environmental awareness a group dances from his hometown supported him by appearing in the video.

you. know what it's. just that. music is one of the ways to get the message across but why v.f. group also does community outreach to inform people about the consequences of cutting down trees the effects are clearly visible in this region many old 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 a 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 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 don't. know about you know what. and they thought i was. old habits are hard to change so the activists founded awareness clubs in more than 50 schools in the region as a part of a companion and a former station they've helped to organize a demonstration for school children. through planting a mound a student so they can be doing this weekly or monthly bill or whatever their goal. ranking of 3 and i look at it will extend this idea to the evidence houses and look at the current time to get their hands dirty planting trees in the school yard

welcome response from the regular routine so through our friends we need to align them in our community get them what busy 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 that play a vital role in tain in the health of our environment. well the time when i lived overshadowed by the crisis there you conspiring if we can manage to raise awareness of environmental issues 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 the city some changes will probably be very fast but some could be adopted by good it is a good buy for me. here. thank you sandra i'll
