they are guarding cars as past in a box. only to see in black and white. close to memories of august 14th on d. w. . ut on nature to things that go well together nature is often that he's jewish and for ont but also pieces in hans the bt i'm not sure sitting and both can play a part in supporting the environment and sustainability hello and welcome to this special edition of africa i am sundra to no deal here in kampala uganda and we need

today is my colleague in nigeria hi new to. yeah i really like this subject of nature and the projects that will be looking out today well all started before the pandemic for many of the ideas i especially powerful in this time i mean spouse to love and look after our environment lest i would have briefly got what's coming up on the show today. i mean german i disavow i'm not sure how modern architecture can link up not truly with their surroundings the new design trend conquering euro natural materials are good success on new creations. and music is said to be the language of emotion and it's getting people in ga not to think environmentalists protection so hard. now in which we can the odds the use of possibility based on the standing of the environmental issues someone here stanley and they do have a clear on such as this and i do not subscribe it based in they have decided to use

this creates new skills to remind you money since it can for the environment with music poetry photography and paintings he speaks to the younger generations in a language they can relate to and prove that the art of powerful medium for conveying the message. needs to be looked after let's go see this. letter. i didn't get anywhere for drawing. the trees trees trees trees cut. stanley i need to is an artist on a mission and paper and paint and not his only weapons in his fight to protect the environment. is also a singer you really need to listen to his songs focus on water and drought the

felon of trees air pollution and the loss of africa's animal population. it's a cool for others to take responsibility but not everyone's a funk. a viral means people with politicians not so much interested in business because you actually project is the practice sometimes telling them not to use force if you're that's where they make their money from stanley and he to spending time in nature drawing is both relaxing and inspiring of these work so hard to sell so the artist has come up with new techniques to make his chosen subject a success the f. and animals sketched with a reflective pen when it comes to environmental protection stanley sets an example of his way instead of brushes he uses different colored light bulbs light out

and the magic begins. strands ition from green and healthy to the alarming state that it's seen today captured through the lens of a camera. usually a painting done with oil an acrylic on cumbers should take a couple of hours to a few days depending on the size and i'll be considerable waste this is done in just a few minutes and there's no waste. we use things like for you can't you see this was a tube at the end of the day door and up in the environment so this helps us mileage our primitive tools which are out in our environment that it's invested gives us the appeal that he expects to get from us this isn't how stanley ammeter used to work a graduate of fine and applied arts he painted like regular artists with oil and compass has made over $300.00 pieces using his new method and now sells multiple

copies of each piece around the world the current virus pandemic has given the natural world some much needed rest pite stanley any to has watched the changes with the amazement the air quality improved want amazingly wonderfully and what did you see at quality has improved tremendously so i think it's good for the environment that we should get for them what. it costs to show that we act killing ourselves by ourselves. stanley anita once the rest of the world to pay more attention to the environment he believes in the power of art to bring about change right now i think if we have time we have the opportunity to make a difference let's says let's make the changes so that our children know what will be great for those of the brits for protecting this environment. stanley anita will

not stop painting and record in new songs audiences love his music and it gets a lot of radio and t.v. airplay maybe one day people will just listen and take action to. art uncalled for i have always taken much of the inspiration from nature certainly paying court and seeing as they are even people groups who called you on way of life highlights humankind's dependence on the environment. let is right and that is why we are now off to south africa where the indigenous sung people can point to paintings of the new most hunters dating back 26000 he is the son of a tremendous knowledge of nature and plant life and the sharing it with the visitors to the finest func culture center in south africa africa to a to. deal and antelopes are shy creatures. but my

tears see bongo knows how to get up close slowly and steadily and from down wind. his people the sun hunt the animals but today mathias is only checking up on the herd elance have special significance for the sun. if you look at the animal it's massive and can provide a lot of mood it can provide a lot of the same times a blanket the skin is used as a blanket and there is also a fence they use it for cooking they use it for and they use it for cleaning themselves the doctors they use it also for another purpose in my t.o.s. works as a guide at the quad to sun culture and education center in as a fun time near cape town it's the 1st center dedicated to sun culture in south africa. the traditional hunters and

gatherers are an indigenous people in southern africa their ancestors lived here when the dutch reached the shores over 300 years ago the rock art they left behind emphasizes the sons deep connection to nature. the dominance of the european colonialists massive land loss and assimilation have marginalized the group today there are only about 150000 people in southern africa who identify as sun working at the center colleague. has learned to appreciate the beliefs and traditions of her people. and. it is the way. that i learned so that you can keep your child so that you can. so that the one you can tell i. want to.

not far from the museum materials continues is trek across the shrub land the south africans call fine by us it's out in nature that he can best illustrate the sounds immense knowledge of medicinal plants like congo bus or cancer bush and wild mint. he explains to the group how an infusion made from the leaves can be used as a remedy to treat a cold the flu and a host of other ailments. the guide and his colleagues have been working for years to read naturalize the 900 hector's side improving conditions for native medicinal plants like wild garlic and wild cannabis around to. today native animal species like zebras springboks and leopard tortoises graze on fields that in the 1990 s. were dominated by monocultures. my teoh's and his colleagues have already

achieved a lot his message about the environment is clear here is it sustainable or keep it for the next generation this is what one thing and. sustainability and environmental protection a message that has been passed down by the sun for generations. well another way artists can help protect the environment and send a message to others of the same time is by taking trash and turning it into beautiful works of art that is want to die after growing angry about the extent of pollution in his homeland of kenya he decided to repurpose tons of waste metal he is this week's doing a bit. this lion sculpture is made from animal snares once used by poachers in the national

parks. these works were created by kenyan artists. he works with waste from factories. years ago he started off as a welder. in his spare time he fashioned artistic objects. one day and the power broker bought them and displayed them in a nairobi gallery. that's going with cheeky realized he could make a living with his art his works now for up to $10000.00 a piece he also trains younger artists he says that over the years he's 10 thousands of tonnes of scrap metal into alt. 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. we

share your stories. very nice those lifelike sculptures will inspire people to protect the lions living in the wild in fact there could be an idea in there maybe if we bring more of the natural world into our homes one have more incentive to take care of it it turns out there are quite a few designers out there walking with that goal in mind they make every day job. won't in most homes using materials money but very own mother nature let's have a look at what some of them have come up with. there is something of the sea in the air. these lampshades are made of dried seaweed stretched over a wire frames. and fish scales have been worked into the top of this small table. people think it might smell but it doesn't because once it's dry so we close on the

snail and just look like feast munden based designer. sand for his desert storm lamp red cabbage for the intricate feigns of his veggie lights and seaweed for the marine light lampshade. the native israeli has been experimenting with natural materials for years to find some of his materials at the produce market i grew up close to the same israel and i love like and love going to the sea as i was a child and i was trying to experiment in different materials coming from the sea and seaweed was always something that i think can be interesting to work with. and i just started experimenting and turns up into doing drama. and then. started his design studio in london straight he said. he sells his pieces and limited editions to private clients around the world. i think people

are more willing to accept the fact that you can have like lamps or other products made of this kind of material and we think what's happening in this world is making people understand that we need to start using this kind of material instead of artificial material or plastic but i hope so that this kind of material. becomes something very common as i don't want to go to not very much benefit to the environment. designers the world over experiment with natural materials is really dutch design or eddie's navy patna coats his objects with soft deposits from the dance scene he dips to walls and other objects into the highly sealing content when it dries the furniture is in frosted with sparkling salt crystals.

berlin designer. uses burj bark from milieu or from her native siberia for her creations traditionally the bark outer layer is harvested once a year this way the trees don't have to be felt and the left. from ukraine draws upon the. land for her luxury furniture pieces she's been revitalising and reinterpreting the traditional handicraft techniques her furniture lines to stop this coated with claim. is a dervish for your great craft and. for me as mature always olivia and i'm just going. to stabilize the furniture the metal frame is wrapped in organic cellulose and flax that makes the tables and chairs durable and suitable for daily use and recyclable is moving in

harmony with nature and every spec for ecological cycles the sources of creative and sustainable design ideas are buying exhausted. yes that is definitely true that is very much what we about here. all of you to live in ways that are more sustainable sometimes it can be. helpful to go to places that highlight what we stand to lose somewhere the showcases the environment and i know it's just the play sondra it's a museum in ethiopia its capital addis ababa there's a man museum is there green or serious in the middle of all that we city of concrete and glass visitors will discover traditional the theory of architecture i know rich over a all plant life all with the aim of learning from each of. the rainy season has started and the zouma garden is rejoicing this lush oasis is

a recent addition to addis ababa cultural spaces and the creation of mesquite him and her friend ileus here architecture and nature are celebrated together these ecological huts turned into works of art were built using an ancient construction technique. process where you actually get the subsoil you have to be about half a metre before you get the soil we only add is water and straw for about a month and it lasts for hundreds and hundreds of years. for more control so in so many ways it's one of the best i think sustainable houses surrounded by a labyrinth of plants most of which are endemic a dream come true for mesquite i am the diggers underneath but this is what it looks like tenet is often dipped into coffee and this plant has strong medicinal virtues. in a city where cement towers are growing like mushrooms zome a museum is

a space for humans to breathe and for nature to grow in cities going fast i think. not in the right direction many of the trees are. dying out. the air is polluted or even completely poisoned we're all affected one way or another we're all connected through the environment reconnecting humans to the environment is precisely the aim of this almost school age one that. several times a week these kindergarten children come out in small groups and take care of the zouma garden and its farm the school is open to all but only the most privileged can afford the feel of this alternative teaching. the student when this age they have to learn about their gardens me about the foods it's organic they can pad they can see and that can even paste it so they know about it and it's

getting to that. these facets of the zona museum had attracted hundreds of people a day since the grand opening in march 2019 until the coronavirus pandemic began but the idea of creating artistic green spaces in the city has gained ground prime minister ahmed asked the museum team to build a huge garden at his residency. the prestige project called unity park has also become a tourist attraction for ethiopians and foreigners alike. so listen up everyone announce my big moment rap music has traditionally been. so how about rapping for their environment this is what it could sound like garbage everywhere why don't people seem to care that's what we have trash cans so let's learn to love. more ok you know i may not get a record contract but it's clear. on

a couple of musicians. are the best way to. change the way we think so they wrote some rap lyrics and designed it just stick in people's minds. how it seems. like i'm in my seat. and he's from where he goes. he's no longer producing music he's moved on the bow telling people about the advantages of farming pesticides. in the music business. just i have my own way back east you have

a big lake to suffer but because of the soil i've been polluted. we have lost a lot of you when you change. our money so listen folks listen i'm about to rock i can rap but i still have a fancy food yeah i'm trying to change i'm a musician but i also have to do something after feed myself something something small small to feed myself for every man in my family by look at this man with a cell can i groove how can i found a me feed my family get plastic the rubbish everywhere is polluting the land is destroying our my thailand i do something about 3. safer ses it's important to reach out to everyone how can i get down to go back out he's known for his very direct approach. open dumping like this has been a call to action for the tsunami according to recent studies ghana's capital accra

generates more than $3000.00 metric tons of waste and is to method 60 percent is collected during the rainy season on the rubbish gets carried out to sea in the gulf of guinea. one of each is one of the most polluted beaches in accra one fisherman patrick loco throws out his fishing nets after a big down pope it's not fish he holds in but all kinds of plastic report. sometimes the trash pushes the net into the rocks and past the end of the net you can't go out there to free it because to report so you need to find money to make a new unit it's really tough. value they also known as african gypsy has come to see patrick he was born in romania and grew up in ghana are some musician and artist he addresses the problems ghana fesses with trucks like refuse . reuse recycle. sound no lawn.

with more than with. looting and with. refuse reuse recycle. prior bad you know parasitic. this is what our bodies that we're not taking care of. him in their life in the end what has happened because there's no fish no frogs no i doubt creatures in the water are the only thing tribe and what that now are mostly to be mostly to love and sudan vironment is becoming more dangerous for us to live in. the fantasy coop and if we're coming in on

a reaching out to the countries where the 2 musicians are attending a street academy event at a privately run school for kids living in the street they aim to influence the way students think of something for them and. those fish m.-s. that moment i think will cause them all sickness to love this ball of plastic and. that says you will kill the robot you sure you don't use our robot just something i was inside tight so you don't kill the country so that's how i come to become the most beautiful one in the world these sunni have been one if a comedian's last performances but he and have clearly got the message across they're trying their best to fight gonna pollution program f a comedian. with music.
