mean one thing maybe dominates much of our lives right now but we still need to care for the environment right sondra what is right under our one welcome from me sandra 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 these crises pushing the increase in many of the widely 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 the wonder where the government has introduced a steps just on to preventing going to the bank notes. we also see how military training drones can actually promote conservation. and we need to the deny an artist who is using 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 fingernail but it continues to sew for us to normal prices especially in east asia where it is considered to have him in paula's south africa has a nearly 80 percent of the was whining on husband todd by pushing with only about 20000 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 all their rhinos going to. be landsberg national park in south africa. iran has been spotted but steadily 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

conservationists tell us that in some areas even de horn rhino is 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 hobbyhorse it looks brutal but when carried out by professionals it is safe and pain free we make sure that we don't get into that growth. part of the war where there's definitely feeding and we also wouldn't be good from an infection point of view in regard to the one so i think in this case i don't know what the overstimulated is little vibration going for the body as a sort of fool in a study 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 part of 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 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 often and injured rhino carves you landed a fundie a mare and her colleague are preparing milk for 3 recent arrivals. only barely escaped the same fate as their mothers who were butchered for their home on your land the 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 are still being killed it's a faster pace than they can reproduce. the sun's cover tonight has got a picking up in south africa we've 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 art and 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 back impudence but rhino 911 has spotted 2 animals on the move time to fix opinions on mixed some believe it makes male rhinos others say the horns and essential for survival and grow back within about 5 years these kinds of vision is see no alternative. while we're using animals that are morning rightly using i don't have dry nose for a year in south africa and that number is on acceptable so we need to try and do more we need to dry you know and save the species it's a real story animal. i may need to save them for generations to come that. they were going to wake up. most rhinos seem unperturbed when they wake up and

simply grazing with 3 years rhino 911 has been working with authorities to dion rhinos in public parks and reserves the precise numbers of those de horned. are kept secret for their protection. it is sad that such drastic measures are sometimes needed to protect the now when it is often say that every little bit helps and that's certainly the case when it comes to the environment one young student in germany has formed a way of tommy plastic waste into sustainable tiles and the best thing is the end product looks just like expensive take a look at this week's doing. tiles look like marble but they're actually made of 100 percent plastic. crates

them from the used packaging materials. the designer based in germany 1st greens and the waste. to soften the. plastic and. this is toxic fumes so a kid wears a mask for protection as she needs and curse the match she merely adding what happens in nature we should just give them and the company 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 heat it becomes part of the stand there and have it i study the conditions under which rock is formed how its structure is created and then i used a similar process with a plastic waste and the. blame is to take waste and turn it into something useful that's also beautiful and durable. but here there's no

thinking about founding 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 oh send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit so. we share your stories. making. them look great and be impressed we're going to stick with the creative team 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

recycles these waste items by using them for his spin to tell him the real stories of how polluted to see ease but i so wish due to wendy leaf and the decision to lift one thing in fright for it to be kept clean if i have the privilege to be in day to day life and out of believing one of the good old us a bit of the whole of my life. the importance of preserving to the ocean. and tweaking it's a constant reminder that. we had to send a go announcement some more individuals dedicated to helping the planet this time on shore then zio the day works in the service of the cup so the planting trees wherever they can these include 1st and foremost moving the trees as well as force

and so-called from buoyant trees there involve the residents in the project that's important because it's only when people realize the benefit of trees that they will protect and take care there. are 00. 00 planting trees is now a days santa his favorite activity. she and a group of volunteers want to make this sandy parking lot on the outskirts of the car more hospitable. 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 angio has managed to win over the local residents. living on i. do love the most important people need greenery. and as i see it those who respect the environment respect themselves. so we must do what we can to combat desertification by planting trees all over the city. but it's not enough to just plants 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.t.o. 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 food can be eaten or used for medicinal purposes.

scientists have proven that trees bring rain by contributing to a battle transpiration they trigger precipitation in the clouds more trees mean more rain and the more we cut down the less rain there is one that they say deserts advance but they don't it's humans that make it possible things must change. must all plant. big cities are growing as a breathtaking speed in senegal. in the past 60 years the country has lost around haaf of its forests to urbanization. tens of thousands of hectares of woodland 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're introducing people to the importance of trees the importance of greenery in one day these trees will provide much needed shade offering city dwellers rest bite from the burning sun having planted 750000 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 it to military training grounds these last 6 or 8 it is yes i use to practice military maneuvers

and it's lower than we made in germany for instance many whereas this year from rights huge on i mean training grounds birds wild cards 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 arab 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 this armored vehicle is used to take care of open spaces to make sure they don't get overgrown it tears up shrubs and flattened small trees. germany has 1400 square kilometers of land for military drills the environmental group nabu commission to study and found something astonishing although there are

pollutants like heavy metals and kerosene residue the sights are ecologically important. the home of didn't let someone else was on earth 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 feel free cordon ponds form a tank trails and bomb craters where frogs and newts can spawn. this is not static environmental protection. so constantly changing but they're also valuable areas not in regular use by the military where nature can evolve organically guns if not to live. in the area is used less often they deploy sheep several

1000 sheep graze all summer long in the military training ground so that's 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 prince grazing on droppings at the turn into the state of nature needs all. the sheep of spent numerous summers in the military zone and are well used to it so shepherd col hines can kill them. in there even when he generally whenever they're shooting even heavy fire you'd be amazed how fast they adapt if they do get frightened they huddle together 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 as i believe so we humans are responsible for the environmental destruction and deforestation that's happening to drive climate change and you know africa way especially hard hit by the consequences. that is right and needed to let us look a rhonda this small central african country has lost nearly 20 percent of its forest coverage in just the last thing is bust the country is working hard to clean up its act with recycling initiatives and a ban on plastics now because of payment systems could provide another helping hut if you want to take a motorbike taxi in london's capital kigali for example you can't pay with bank notes anymore and that's just the start rhonda hopes increasing with to phase out paper 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 1 company. just during names on our platform and all saw they are opening a bank account so we're working with the. local bank so that there can be.

a bank account at the same time and reduce starting. after signing up the drivers get a smartphone 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. 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 a made of paper our boys saw one of the benefit to be a cartoon their worst cartoon that they always do or saw it's. an impact on a person sick and is going to agree. with the harvest. 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 digital. you no longer said this paper bag scene could go somewhere in rwanda so i think that is what that is awful down of vigilante and say goodbye to the print media paper as other things stray cash saw we need to operate 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 and of course we'll keep our eyes open and let you know how it goes but no with come to the end for today and i'm excited that you could join us thank you all for watching i am sundered to nobody here in kampala the capital of uganda. thank you sandra it's a 5 for me to lagos nigeria we will be back next week with more inspiring stories on how we can make our planet a better place to live in a spy the friend demi c.n.n.
