plastic polluter after china indonesia processes more than 60000000 tons of plastic waste every year over 3000000 tons of it and up in the ocean the government has pledged to reduce this by 70 percent by 2025 it's known vicious plan traditional waste disposal methods can't keep up that's why indonesia backs pioneering ideas like the one majano is proposing she makes packaging out of seaweed. how can we solve it if we do not have something to replace this plastic because of course we cannot go back to. our eggs him though will live without plastic edging so we have to think about this in fact i'm in delhi friendly but getting her main advantage is that indonesia is one of the world's biggest producers of seaweed most buyers are other countries in asia where people have been eating in the marine plant for millennia.

in europe production is still on a much smaller scale but here to see weed is being targeted as a material with a bright future a sector that has a lot of potential seaweed grows quickly doesn't take up fertile land and can be used in a wide range of applications there are more than 72000 species of algae worldwide the largest over 60 metres and wind algae based ingredients are already used in many foods for example as binding agents to different types of brown algae are now being grown commercially in norway up to $100.00 tonnes of them a year the farm in 4 year is one of the biggest in europe as the global population rises a new food trends quote fashionable seaweed is appearing more frequently on european plates seaweed cultivation has grown quickly in the past 10 years 1st and foremost . stan france and ireland and spain and of course norway are also exploring the

8:36 am
qualities of seaweed algae seedlings are cultivated all year round and the company's laboratories in time time. here tests are carried out on different types of algae that might be good to cultivate and the future. the company also works with universities to find possible environmental uses for seaweed and unlock its full potential it has several benefits of further for them and they are lent very cultivated it captures c o 2. big. and we also see. around north sea farm there are a lot of fish so it's kind of when there are 3 or 4 like. fish and the other and wealth in this tribe in the sea we. increase the wildlife. a budding do industry in europe. they were around

$200000.00 seaweed farmers and indonesia often whole families get involved the women tie the seedlings to the lines and to cure of the finances the men are responsible for the cultivation and harvest for her products normal you'll know works together with 2000 families she also helps them with the business side of things and works without middlemen this means she can pay better wages. the most important things that. drive me base unit and this is about. this they are living in they are so they have no access to all fulfil their basic needs so some of them also have to fix them of human trafficking so i think it's for a very. involved and. help them to improved at all i've put. one of the farmers who supply a small yone who is obtuse you caller who called to bates it on 300 lines and punk

in the past he had to keep his head above water with badly paid work sometimes as a fisherman. sometimes as a sailor now he can afford to concentrate on seaweed farming alone his take home pay is up to 6 times higher now. than i am then yeah. he said i've seen a family is full of promise we hope it will enable us to pay for the best possible education for our children and. it's much more profitable than working as a fisherman specializing in. we hope that see we will always fahri share and that we can maintain its quality there. are no hope so to at any rate she already needs another 1000 suppliers and 2020 farmers like. after all the demand for her plastic free packaging is they are primarily from food and cosmetics distributors she needs to ramp up production from 102-8000 units per

i like going to school because it's fun and you have new friends you land it to head for you so that you feel grand you'll be a better person in the future. i have ceased to have their needs by providing for them shelter. and their basic needs. i like writing songs. to see if that's a new interface. for. when my mother so.
8:41 am
i'm afraid of high i.q. for example if i'm standing in the tell me when i can't look down because i'm afraid i thought. i would like to. make talented the last thing in so much. i feel i can think but i don't need these sending the end that he gives i had enough be these that i had to do this job when that did that because then that. in the early 20th century africa was home to an estimated 10000000 or more elephants. 100 years later poaching and habitat loss have caused their numbers to drop to no
8:42 am
more than 400000 that's a decline of more than 95 percent. in botswana however there are too many elephants thanks to strict conservation measures the elephant population there has increased rapidly in recent years. among the star attractions in chhobi national park are the many elephants antelopes. and hippos roaming free. but one that has the world's highest elephant population somewhere between 13160000. tourists flock to marvel that. they are tobacco money has been coming here with her husband for many years. but this time is special because my family are here to my niece and my to grant you. and we really wanted to show them the africa we know and love where you can be among all these animals and so close to
8:43 am
them on soon but that's not anything down that's how tourists experience the elephants. and this is how local people experience them. park ranger horsey myra is out on patrol. with us. breaking news. suddenly another elephant appears between the houses and the town of cassani at the edge of the park. he tells us they can injure people attack them. especially if they're with their young. lives or what. elephants wonder through residential areas and fams this often leads to conflict between humans and animals. danielle just when you saw
8:44 am
jeremiah says he always keeps a gun loaded he has a farm outside cassani i showed him the event the last. 28 days. it was in the field here. during the day i dared to skate if used then those who are there said let me shoot it now ok and i live and there is no it's not nice it's not that nice to kill it but good for the sake of self-defense. he gives me or i is war one is all we shoot. it's a fight for survival jeremiah says the elephants are always on his fields destroying his crops. the was there come there every day to day that didn't get to this piece linda nice to come again and continue until the whole field is
8:45 am
done. elephants have trampled his fences including the electric ones. and jeremiah doesn't have the money to repair them. my life is being the color they did it or they didn't buy elephants wiped i mean it is they're making people poor they're making people poor. no i'm poor. but my feeling is. i think conning should be done what i feel about all of it that's not too many. they need to be to do with. the government hasn't organized any college culture eventually lifted a ban on elephant hunting that had been imposed 5 years it now permits the killing of 403 year promising a field day for sports hunters the government says the hunting should be allowed
8:46 am
specifically in areas where elephants human conflicts are most common or what elephants we have learnt over time about elephants is that when the north is the danger they will not go to those areas and we use the controlled hunting to achieve that not to reduce numbers but to create that barrier so that people can continue about life in the woods and interrupt it's been estimated that the elephant population will continue to grow significantly even if $400.00 a kill each year. trophy hunting is widely despised in europe for example but can it actually fulfill a useful function. some conservationists think it can. the impact will be positive because botswana is absolutely committed to having any resources that it gets from sport to go to the communities. rural
8:47 am
botswanans live with 150000 elephants and they have not been receiving any benefits whatsoever so a couple of animals that are sport hunted can go a very long way to mitigate the kind of negative impacts including the loss of human life that rural botswanans are facing on a daily basis. man a fish was trampled to death last year while on his way home in cousin a. his sister dorcas sums up the findings of the police investigation. he'd say to atlantic. they will. say. this. and. the and the so they pulled him she tells us they used to be fewer elephants in the area and they were less aggressive independent there with just. your present elephant
8:48 am
just feeding into it sometimes without even seeing it but no i did actually change without even a person provoking them anyhow she says the aggression may well mean the elephants are feeling stressed the question remains if the elephant population continues to rise and the human population grows as well i'm happy encounters will probably continue to occur and a sustainable solution will still need to be found. in our global ideas series we head to the pacific ocean it's home to many species of sea turtle our reporter claire richardson went to the arm of an island's part of the solomon islands north of australia she met some activists who are working to protect the turtles.
8:49 am
the solomon islands look like paradise on earth the region here in the south pacific is home to rich marry me biodiversity. but it's a challenging environment for the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtles that nest here. female turtles lay roughly $1000.00 eggs each season. only one in a 1000 will make it to adult hood. that chances are made by hunting and illegal trading. researches estimate that some $10000.00 test tools are harvested each year. that's pushed hawksbill sea tuttle's to the brink of extinction. but for the creatures who make it to this particular beach that's how.
8:50 am
these women are on a mission to save the tassels in 2016 they form the group which brings together communities from 3 islands to protect the tools from hunting. the 3 for me anything they have different crowd for background so having to give all of. you have the opportunity for them to embrace it and for the project they come through giveth uniting them together for conservation. they're on my way to the owner from a spectacular group of islands that's one of the largest breeding grounds in the south pacific for the hawksbill sea turtle. the only evidence of assigned to the marine protected area the fast ever national park in the solomon islands and a sanctuary for the tuttles. today the team looking to catch them for time and release known locally as tuttle wrote. about what i wanted was.
8:51 am
the 1st attempt is a mess. so it's on to the next location to try again ok i just read. about it and it's going to the. second time lucky. they call to a female green tuttle a different species. she's strong enough to dismiss a case of persons on them as not muslim. on board she's measured and her details are recorded we're not. going when i. know why i'm coming over the next her flip has attacked with unique numbers to help rangers identify her in the future. living in. this green
8:52 am
turtle has scars from an attack by a crocodile. that common in these waters. world. is crawling towards the coast is clear she's on her way again. i hope still sea turtles also face dangers on shore. have discovered this nest now ranges must move the surviving eggs so the smell doesn't attract more predators . it's all pays off when the baby turtles of ready to catch. the women of koach he helped build tuttle highways in the sun and leading from the nest to the ocean. as the happening start the journey towards the sea the women trying to keep them on track. they stand guard against
8:53 am
natural predators and purchase. tools are often cool to legally sold to buy is overseas touchin is also an important traditional food in the solomon islands and it's been hunted for centuries while the practice is still legal outside to preserve the women of koach e a trying to change local out to cheats. of i've been so i don't like i would say that i pick them and then. my face very pretty and i walk that they need canes my like my thinking when you up to me see them coming out from their holes and driving making their way through this thing and then i you play them i'm sitting there and then out me go off and the fact that they are waiting for them out of struggle there already like and then i was like oh i've used. the and proud it's my father my community. how do you think that. she's just one
8:54 am
example of how koach each message is resonating across the solomon islands several women have brought the fight to save tattles back to their villages to teach all those in the only one living near poor who has started her own offshoot of koichi in her village she uses weatherproof charts on items where electricity isn't available to show local communities how they can help. yeah. i generation for the model. where is the open but then look how that saw him have to look after our state but. it takes 30 years for tuttle's to reach sexual maturity after nesting they travel thousands of kilometers back to the great barrier reef in australia saying this incredible journey helps the women understand the important role they play in conservation where been found very important because we have a custody and there we have the one who will look after the family with feta
8:55 am
through rain and also we do group seems to know what their way is happening in the community so it is very important that we women truth understand what is happening in that environment. there are now twice as many tuttle nests in the on of ns as the weapon for the marine park was established 25 years ago. but more needs to be done to save the species i think that if everybody's operating life work to get that then we have i have high hopes for that that they are qualified to do have i so see them yeah yeah ok karachi is hoping to get more women involved in educating and uniting communities to make sure the solomon islands are a safer place for turtles today and in the future. that's
