discover. subscribe to. documentary to. the corporate money doing great 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 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 highly near to simulate picture here for example ever since the government imposed on lockdown 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 most well that so much more is being affected by colvin 19 but we are glad that you could join us on this 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 car number in this 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 allows your close to and i'm leaving grazing butterflies and in ghana we'll meet a group of young activists week on mission saving the

a forest. let's start over shall write in uganda only too aware that the covert $1000.00 pandemic causes 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 chimpanzee 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 in the shores of the mainland just erik windows careful to disinfect the skin and clothing for record overseas the well being of chimps in uganda is known by now and in lake victoria. that is

a constant for the situation that. we're going to forget about them. and also very vulnerable. says of all 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 called good 90 day stuff here in highlight food from the mainland is even more strictly controlled than usual. for example it is up it by the time it just off the top going from the farm to the truck drove up to the market will also then pull our supply out so by the time we thought it gets

up we don't know who was under the dome was has come from full well very careful about its all the food we get we disinfected. genetic studies just makes that chimps and humans share name to us into their d.n.a. and. so not surprisingly be of so susceptible to many of the same diseases. and while the as it been a case of cold maine teen reported among the chimpanzees so far just short of victory mary team at taking no chances on adept at this is a distant cousin wanted to give us a different this excuse and that another care. then they went out to him sunday if they see anything that they notice that is an abnormal in this change then they are able to put cooler that the navy on for many as 2 hours to welcome to visit and even spend the night and the 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 by the loss of income is i begin may get to the impact on the trusts conservation efforts on the income we what i knew 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 on we are already topping into our resolves and we're worried of course a little bit of course found 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 for a solution despite their fiction and dedication to the primates recorded knows it to be difficult but they can't give us to steal and if you guys they shouldn't goes bankrupt so this a lot of cause for high level of commitment and indications so we are not filming

they can't divide gonda in africa people or that it can lead to this kind of war so our presence. is the point and from the time i made that announcement that this happened on the island for been counseling the stuff on the one sticking to them i think a lot that they could pad for an inevitable it will shut down because now they're walking into this i said and printed a the up of the away from 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 supplemented by income generated by 2 ice visits but now that the island has been shut down due to the pandemic he say's they are not sure how much longer they will be able to continue the a one to. 10 times for the chin ha's of victoria the repercussions of the corbett and i think crisis are being felt everywhere in

the gun owner capito. met with professor christof and garden. that's right sondra and this professor is an environmental scientist with an area of expertise in environmental health with a whopping $1000.00 pandemic on everybody's mind and that was also the focus of the eye discussion in particular. on the environment in both the shot and the long term. as the traffic is reduce and could get through production has been creased they missions that would normally ok will automatically reduce 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 that got. to close it's

going to be a gap in 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 destry it's a start back up to get going because. so then you'd use those cheaper associates all through. energy as much as possible to at least break even. we encroach on forests on 1st yourselves 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. to moses these pathogens

viruses and so forth from a most like bats to humans is going to be more probable. i think to have a longer. 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 wild animal to muck 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 mount to animal. you need a zoologist to know that 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. we need to prepare because there will be another that just corner types iris whether it is 3 s. 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 factors so we do the right thing right from the beginning. there's a lot of knowledge with our. traditional. custodians of knowledge i did just indigenous 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. to 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 a reactive mode. company's crisis. hopefully the people in charge here in africa will also take appropriate action from ghana we now have 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 bast the ancient egyptian gone to some protection and cats. this rendition is unique it's made from 3000 pieces of scrap metal. it took. a month to weld them together and the boot the ancient egyptians believed the feline definity protected the home from evil spirits and disease. the contemporary sculptor admires his ancestors connection to nature. because. 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 his creations are made from used materials.

that people seem to survive as an artist supporting and promoting the benefits of recycling. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website set us a tweet. hash tag doing your best. we share your story in. africa and see every week in our doing your bit segment one idea small make a world of difference take the problems surrounding deforestation 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 all time that in order to preserve. kenya local residents were offered an opportunity to. call

that depend solely. on the help of the forest. butterflies a deft and at least save a net in the hard work work that's paying off for many people living in a kenya. so coquet forest the largest and most intact coastal forest and east africa it's rich in wildlife with close to $300.00 butterfly species they call it 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. but the play is just a month after mouth a butterfly dies beg 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 habitats. 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 . 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 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 really has 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 lightweight. then we send them to customers in the united kingdom and turkey. some of those customers then sell to people i on the other parties. so we also have some customers that have to fly 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

do 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 cotton 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 traditional method to produce palm oil during 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 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 wasn't doing is wrong i don't. know about you know what that balance thing. and i thought it was. old habits are hard to change so the activists found it when this club's 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 schoolchildren with. 3 planted a mound a student lot of them are doing this weekly or monthly bill or whatever they go they go up we want to know of 3 identical even extend this idea to have a real house and look at the. 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 garden wanted daily basis planting trees is more than a symbolic act for david bloom the children have learned a lot about the crucial role of step trees play to provide shade to protect rivers and soil that play a vital role in taming the health of our environment. well at the time when our lives overshadowed by the corporate crisis because firing if we can manage to raise awareness of environmental 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 i want to see some changes will probably be the fast but could be a good it is a good buy for me. here in kampala. thank you sandra i'll
