it's a huge help in assessing the health. but it's. a red admiral. small light. and this is called a comma. environmentalist simon savile has no problems finding butterflies here in hutchinson's bank and nature reserve on the outskirts of london. but industrial agriculture and urbanization have caused massive line numbers to drop. experts say 3 quarters of species in the u.k. are in decline get these delicate creatures are important pollinators and pest control. but it's really helpful to know what part of ice there are and where they are flying because the butterflies are a very good indicator of the quality of the environment how well is the environment being managed for the wildlife. to get an overview the wildlife charity butterfly conservation launched a u.k.

wide census. it's targeting 20 keep passing fly and most species anyone can report a sightings using a smartphone app that locks on to their location. through those coming you see very simple if you want identification guides you can go and find that click next it's not the right date if you can change it if you need to think next again and then submit that and then you've got another kind of night. as hard as the coded 19 pandemic has been on the british economy it's had some positive side effects for nature and wildlife. i think in general lockdown has helped many of our butterflies particular if you look at parks and gardens road verges there's been less cutting of the grass and the areas like that and so more profitable able to grow and i thing. butterflies have

been able to thrive i think the quality benefits that came along also probably going to have some benefit as well. however as life increasingly reverts to the way it was before lockdown the unexpected respites may end for butterflies. so the app days here could now prove especially imposing for their protection. but you can. really get. to know where they are so. well. over a 1000000 and a half of flies were counted by more than 110000 volunteers in the 2020 census taking the pulse of nature before it's too late.

so there's an app for counting bottle flies and you'll be amazed at how many other apps you can use to protect the environment africa has another tip for all the techno it's out there i think you're one of those who takes pictures with your smartphone all day long like i just did that this one for you your photos can help save god. here's how. jurists can contribute their photos to citizen science projects and supply valuable data for research on coasts animals sent to. the university of fields coast which project examines all types of coastlines where the cliffs. all sad. vacation is can upload their photos and specify the exact location to the coast which website the images go into a global data bank and help scientists to better understand the risks of rising sea

level. the wild me project by an american ngo documented to migrate 3 parts of wildlife anyone with a tourist a researcher cannot gloat filters of wild animals to the site artificial intelligence. recognizes each animal bites individual traits and records the date time and location the photo was taken this allows scientists to follow migratory patterns and users can see where the animal they photographed on their holiday has moved on to. anyone can take pictures of clouds with nasa's globe observer and again help researchers. the u.s. aeronautics and space administration compares the photos and other data like time and place with their own satellite images which among other things helps them improve research on the atmosphere and climate. zimbabwe's changing climate means

that farmers are being forced to look for new ways to make a living some have now started to breed free range chickens and i recently laying eggs these birds are natural press control as they feed on insects and food waste that's one reason why enough from a musician is encouraging more pharmaceutical trick and breeding we went to reap some families who have done just that to see how they are getting on. there's no guarantee that c.q. we do based fields will produce enough for her. here in north west in zimbabwe farmers are already feeling the effects of climate change. is real. and like the way in previous years the weather is different now than we used to get. to get. here in the past is enough.

to make sure she'll have enough to eat and phillip bay has got some hens she feeds them kitchen waste but because they can run about freely they can also far reach for food. about an hour's drive south close to the city of. commercial meat has become trendy. towns and cities it's said to be tasty the. hands. used to be a vegetable farmer then she decided to take on free range. today an expert on free range breeding has come to give have tips on getting the. farm the cocoa. eggs and meat production so it's very popular. 6 not to rely on the single green there's

a bubble free range. different breeds. for free range poultry production for the indigenous. and we want to protect that. so that from us continue to produce that protect. the eggs here don't go to market. of use for them they're incubated. for 3 weeks the chicks. to start their own free range operations. come to about a 1000 euros a month but nonetheless energy costs are so high that mccaw is planning to switch to solar power. electricity is facing huge uphill to almost dismissed because we use electricity change fortunately in his day after the storm so after so he saw

the internet and saw that it become that he can but not with the increase of rain we found out it's now very expensive for any genetic 8 to 10 hours. energy may be costly but waste from the fields is free it's used to feed the hens. their droppings are used to fertilize the feed this is organic cultivation and the farm is already supplying 3 supermarkets with people's. beauty gigi spends much time traveling throughout zimbabwe reference are paying off some $5000.00 farmers have already joined the zimbabwe free range poultry association. but she wants to recruit more of them and for that she has prepared a workshop. in a clear and simple way beauty she shows villages the environmental and financial benefits of raising different breeds on a large scale. but anyone in any farm can

start that enterprise suite what. pre-dawn or bed that they had secondly it it's a lot investment enterprise. it doesn't need complicated house seeing it doesn't need complicated breeds or feed you could use the local available materials. farmers tend to be cautious even if the hens do generate cash they want to keep the cost down to earth warms are one type of water that comes for free and raising them in a mash of kitchen waste cattle dungan moisture means they can reproduce easily. so how does a lack of awareness of these programs is why interest among my peers is low how many would rather leave to seek employment elsewhere than take part in the project

i'll do my best to convince them it's worthwhile to get involved it's a chance to develop a meaningful livelihood jobs are hard to come by nowadays. then at sundown something odd happens. something that never ceases to amuse the villagers. they're free range and all take to the trees to settle down for their night's rest . this has a beneficial side effect the trees in which can sleep are valued by the villagers and are therefore really cut down. now what a great initiative hopefully it will encourage others to take up responsibility for the environment don't forget to tune in again next week for another edition of eco africa in the meantime you can seem talk to us on social media instagram twitter and facebook stay safe be mindful of others and see you soon i am now in taipei signing off from lagos nigeria about.
