food security oppression martian isolation. a notch has been achieved but so much more needs to be done and i think people have to be a concrete solutions my name is a message she's on and what can you tell feel. good . what do animal conservation groups did just payment systems and the gunmen are just having trouble well believe it or not they can help to protect them very much more on that coming up on the show i'm now it's i mean lagos cover nights and maybe don they do much of our life right now but we still need to care for the environment right sandra that is right near to

a one welcome from the sun dried to no video here in kampala uganda satellite data shows that doing the look down the air quality has improved in many african cities but white life is still suffering animals especially have been the biggest losers in this crisis pushing the increase in many of the white life resolves what talk about this should be and here's a quick look at some of the stories we'll be looking on today. we visit london where the government has introduced a steps just on a single to be functional it's. we also see how a military training drones can actually promote conservation. and we need to the deny an artist who is musing you on what's to call for greater protection policy. it is a well established fucked that rhino horn is essentially made up of the same substance as a human thing and will but it continues to so for us to normal prices especially in

east asia where it is considered to have him impalas south africa has a nearly 80 percent of the was wine it was on husband todd but poaching with only about $20000.00 on was left in the wild the country has now resulted in drastic measures in order to preempt porches stocks have started to be gone or their rhinos . lansberg national park in south africa. iran has been spotted but sadly help has come too late after ripping off its own coach has left it as prey for lions. helicopter pilot and he could jacobs is out on patrol surveying the area he's a founding member of the anti poaching group the rhino 911 an organization that provides emergency helicopter rescue to rhinos injured all front mostly due to

poaching but it also carries a preventive measures. in a last ditch attempt to save him rhino 911 has been assigned to help dion rhinos in the province the animals are said dated before the patient's horn is sold off. your home probably about. 56 kilograms. tragic of many if you do this but unfortunately the only option that we have. to climb to something else you know trying to trimming trees like these animals while. the team needs to up quickly before the rhino wakes up again horny is a drastic procedure that removes about 90 percent of the horn at conservation is telling us that in some areas even de vaughn ryan was a moderate to extract the remaining stumps reserves that combine the practice of

horning with regular food petrol and extensive monitoring could have a chance of saving the large poppy force it looks brutal but when carried out by professionals it is safe and pain free we make sure that we don't cut into the growth that part of the room where they can be feeding and we also wouldn't be good from an infection point of view in regard to the bone so i think in this case they don't feel that they're over stimulated this little vibration going to the body the sort of food anesthetic you know it's not a lot like being in a theater so the so they would respond to that but i don't think it's been. the process takes about half an hour. the horn is labeled wait for a graph and will later be stored in a secret government vault far away from the park by improved security measures and interventions such as de horning have helped south africa to cut the number of poached animals by half over the past 5 years. rhino 911 works closely with the rhine orphanage in nonprofit center that cares for all fun and

injured rhino carves. a fundy a mare and her colleague preparing milk for 3 recent arrivals. only barely escaped the same fate as their mothers who were butchered for their homes your land hopes to release the rhino spec into the wild once they have matured but she is concerned about a rise in porch in as a result of the economic fallout caused by corporate 19 rhinos still being killed at a faster pace than they can reproduce. the sun's covert mine has got a picking up in south africa with definitely seen an increase in costs arriving we've had for costs in 53 days so we definitely think that there is an effect you know there is the tourism industries are all closed it's very quiet autumn the reserves the anti-poaching teams try their best to patrol and protect the reserves

but we think that that quiet nature of the reserves definitely. has an effect on the parchin impudence but rhino 911 has spotted 2 animals on the move time to fix opinions on mixed some believe it makes male rhinos well noble others say the horns and essential for survival and grow back within about 5 years these kinds of ation is see no alternative. well we're losing animal that all morning right we're using i don't have dry nose for a year in south africa and that number is unacceptable so we need to try and do more we need to dry you know and save the species it's a real story animal. and we need to save them for generations to come that. they were going to wipe out. most rhinos seem unperturbed when they wake up and simply resume grazing with 3 years rhino 911 has been working with authorities to do was in public parks and reserves the precise numbers of those de horned. kept

secret for their protection. it is sad about such drastic measures sometimes we need it to protect us now then it is often say that every need to be helps and that's certainly the case when it comes to the environment one young student in germany has formed a way of timing plastic waste into sustainable tired and the best thing is the end product looks just like expensive marble take a look at this week's doing your big. tiles look like marble but they're actually 100 percent plastic in your sakia creates them from the used packaging materials. based in germany 1st greens of sorts the waste. heat in softening.

plastic. which is toxic fumes so acutely wears a mask for protection as she needs and presses the match she merely what happens in nature is a defensive in the end i came up with the idea for the tiles because a lot of plastic waste ends up in the oceans mostly by rivers in china and africa it's broken down into smaller and smaller pieces and it ends up on beaches through pressure and it becomes part of the stone there. i study the conditions under which rock is formed how its structure is created and then i used a similar process with the plastic waste and other. claims to take waste and turn it into something useful that's also beautiful and durable. there's no thinking about sounding a social enterprise to produce her tiles on a larger scale. if she succeeds our mountain of plastic waste might get just

a little bit smaller. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit so. we share your story. they look great and be impressed we're going to stick with the creative and protecting the environment but change continents and come straight back it up because this time to west africa on specifically to get my own capital accra that's right sondra with their creation artists can have great influence they have the parts suppliers and fascinates us and also to make us think. is a good man painter whose works draw our attention that destruction of our oceans it

could offer got paid him a visit to find out. in his to do you. doubt about 2 things he laughs deeply fish on the ocean he's nickname which for. mr fish much or for swick he picks to see creatures struggle with pollutants dumped into the ocean. no specific thing when he 1st started painting by 20 years ago but having grown up in a fishing community his consent from irene life drew with environmental issues becoming more and more pressing i've been painting from the shot i haven't seen some clean for some years back and seeing the political aspect of it it is going to affect and even kind of fishes we have in the oceans so

few years to come if we are able to do about do anything about it in this way. in. the paintings illustrates the puti of the contrasting meet with the damage done by human activity. is a joke that now lives of its can also save the greater peppers of helping preserve the ocean for future generations. if we leave this time to see the dinosaurs and all the animals that have died and gone. it is in our power in our hands to make sure that the sharks and wills still remain in the ocean. and visits the beach in his community every day he became a priest washed ashore. here recycles these with items by using them for his spin to tell him the real stories of how polluted to see ease

but who has a wish to go to wendy live under the sea to live with one thing and fight for it to be kept clean if i have the privilege to be in day to see that life and i'll be ok believe in the run of the good old better of the whole of my life. the importance of preserving to the ocean. at waking is a constant reminder that. we had to send ago announcing some more individuals dedicated to helping the planet this time on shore then 0 works in the service of the cops planting trees wherever they can these include 1st and foremost moving the trees as well as force and so-called boy entries there involve the residents in the projects that's important because it's only when people realize the benefit of

trees that they will protect and take care of their. oh. planting trees is now a days his favorite activity. she and a group of volunteers want to make this sandy parking lot on the outskirts of the car more has special. i'm planting a salmon and. it's a shame tree that can grow up to 20 metres. a large square full of shady trees a place to hold celebrations and festivals somewhere to meet the neighbors that's the vision of a local n.g.o.s has managed to win over the local residents. living on.

people need greenery and as i see it those who respect the environment respect themselves. we must do what we can to combat desertification by planting trees all over the city. but it's not enough to just plunge trees you need to nurture them as well day after day. it's imperative to involve the local population that's what guarantees the survival of the trees. the n.g.o.'s actually took its name from a tree in a bed a is the word former in the wall of language it's a versatile tree its leaves and fruit can be eaten or used for medicinal purposes. scientists have proven that trees bring rain by contributing to evaporate transpiration they trigger precipitation in the clouds more trees mean more rain

and the more we cut down the less rain there is one of the songs that they say deserts advance but they don't it's humans that make it possible things must change we must all plant. big cities are growing as a breathtaking speed in senegal. in the past 60 years the country has lost around half of its forests to urbanization. tens of thousands of hectares of woodlands continue to be destroyed every year. yet in focus when they move there's a lot of pressure on the center's. population is rising there's more construction and fewer green spaces and trees we're neglecting nature and that's why desertification is growing worse in our country. the result sure sure nature and more irregular wet seasons in the past the rain began in june and lasted 3 months

now and things have changed. everyone knows the trees are useful but we don't give ourselves the means to plant them as a result with operation 1000000 trees and what we're doing in the neighborhood we are introducing people to the importance of trees the importance of greenery and one day these trains will provide much needed shade offering $50.00 rest bite from the burning sun having planted $750000.00 trees last year nobody is aiming for a 1000000 in 2020. nature is reclaiming some areas in our cities i mean also making a comeback in another environment where you absolutely wouldn't expect to see military training grow these lotsa credit is yes i use proxies military maneuvers and i slow hand grenades in germany for instance many where swishy have fallen writes huge on army training grounds birds wild caught wolves all sorts of plants and insects more

or less left to their own devices in fact most german military training areas are part of a european network dedicated to preserving biodiversity. constant tank movements and artillery exercises make nature conservation at this army training ground a complicated affair before the ecologist start work the search party patrols the area to make sure there are no nasty explosive surprises lurking in the grass they're always accompanied by munitions expert from the german military. they found a missile its location is marked down and laser bomb disposal experts will pick it up. you have to search carefully as we use everything from small 20 millimeter ammunition to large ordinance and explosives of course it's much easier to find bombs that define small munitions and don't forget we've been using this troop training area for 80 years so you find all sorts of stuff here. just those

80 years of army maneuvers have helped create a very landscape in bomb holder or grasslands with wild herb's as well as woodlands and brush all ideal for biodiversity. grasslands are so valuable because they're hard to find anywhere else there's no arable land so no pesticides no nutrients no fertilizers this is only for military maneuvers. the army has all the heavy equipment it needs to preserve the natural environment is armored vehicle is used to take care of open spaces to make sure they don't get overgrown it tears up shrubs and flatten small trees. germany has 1400 square kilometers of land for military drills the environmental group nabu commissioned a study and found something astonishing although there are pollutants like heavy metals and kerosene residue the sites are ecologically important. to me. the almost didn't let finance was another situation in these areas is unique the

exercises create a patchwork environment there are temporary changes what we ecologists call disturbances in areas where soil is removed there are pioneer sites where rare plants can grow as well as animal species you can't find in the regular landscape. destruction by tanks and artillery creates new ecological niches says army ecologist wilfried korten ponds foreman tank trails and bomb craters where frogs and newts can spawn. this is not static environmental protection habitats are constantly changing they're also valuable areas not in regular use by the military where nature can evolve organically. in the air is used less often they deploy sheep several 1000 sheep graze all summer long in the military training ground so that's what makes sheep really useful is that they get into all

the corners under the bushes into parts of the woods we can't reach the machine can't do that the sheep prince grazing on droppings at the turf into the state that nature needs who has bought. the sheep of spent numerous summers in the military zone and are well used to it so shepherd collins can kill them like. enduring many generally whenever they're shooting even heavy fire you'd be amazed how fast they adapt if they do get frightened they huddle together as one crew member in germany large swathes of the natural environment to been wiped out chiefly through intensive farming the untamed land in army training areas is highly valuable in ecological terms in bomb order to spike the bombs and grenades this unique environment get special protection. the power of nature is amazing but we shouldn't rely too much on nature's i've been it's really so we're humans are responsible for the environmental destruction on deforestation that are

happening to drive climate change and here in africa well especially hard hit by the consequences of what is right and needed to let us look at one of these small central african country has lost nearly 20 percent of forest cover in just the last 10 years but the country is working hard to clean up its act with recycling initiatives and a ban on plastics now they get a payment systems could provide another helping hut if you want to take a motorbike taxi in wanda's capital for example you can't pay with banknotes anymore and that's just the start rhonda hopes increasingly to phase out the money . back on the road after 2 months of coronavirus induced absence motorcycle taxi drivers in the rwandan capital kigali are back to work but one thing is not as it used to be mobile payments are now mandatory cash

is a thing of the past as well as that being more hygenic drivers are experiencing other benefits to. the device means i no longer have to bargain with the client about the cost of the trip. now it's the meter that determines the fare. it's also eliminated cash transactions whenever i transport a passenger they pay electronically. this ystem has been in place since may 28000 motorcycle taxi drivers have signed up the technology behind it was developed by april wand and company. they are registering their names on our platform and all saw they are opening a bank account so we're working with. local bank so that they can be. a bank account at the same time and registering their name on our property. after

signing up the drivers get a smart phone which they pay off at a later date the devices are for processing payments and for personal use cashless payments are already in use on buses in rwanda passengers use so-called smart cards but not everyone likes them. you know i don't trust electronic transactions when i go to the bank i withdraw paper money and there was a record of that on paper. but this new system is not entirely safe. it was better before. other skeptics include market vendors who continue to work with cash but they might be fighting a losing battle because the government is aiming to reduce the use of paper in general and that includes banknotes. the composition of always. 6 to 8 percent is made of paper are waste so one of the

benefit to. their worst. cutting their worst also it's. an impact on the. sick and. greedy who would know how best. since the pandemic newspapers have been pushed to go digital only at 1st publisher jeanette omar ashour who saw a decline in sales but now she sees the impact of going to. you no longer said this paper bag thing can go somewhere in there and so i think. the. that is all for them if the you didn't want to say goodbye to the plant. as other things stray because so when they're too old to get to the digital. system. these days traditional paper newspapers have been relegated to libraries

readers now need to go online the coming months will show just how much of a difference the going paper free measures are making in rwanda. mobile money is nothing new to africa let us see how fast the idea kutch is on also keep our eyes open and let you know how it goes but no would come to the end for today and i'm excited that you could join us thank you all for watching i am sunda to nobody here in kampala the capito or uganda thank you sandra it's a 5 for me it's you in lagos nigeria we will be back next week with noise firing stories an hour we've gotten a job well that's a better place to live in that's why the from demi see you next time and do stay healthy.
