count them on. going through dollars pair you use the price per. hour 2 part series and the 3rd right talk starts nov 12th on t w. what do animal conservation groups did just payment systems and a good man are just having common well believe it or not they can help to protect their environment more on that coming up on the show i'm now it's a leg us covering might seem a bit dumb they've seen much of our life right now but we still need to care for the environment right sondra what is right and one welcome from me sundra to know

video here in kampala uganda satellite data shows that during the looked on 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 poaching the increase in many of the wildlife 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 rhonda where the government has introduced a state has just gone to visit don't the banknotes. we also see how military training drones can actually promote conservation. and we meet at the deny an artist was musing on what's typical 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 in paula's south africa has a nearly 80 percent of the was whining on husband todd by pushing with only about 20000 and he was left in the wild the country has now resulted in a drastic measures in order to preempt porches box have started to be gone or their rhinos. landsberg national park in south africa. it i know has been spotted but steadily help has come too late after ripping off its horn 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 a rhino 911 an organization that provides emergency helicopter rescue to rhinos

injured all front mostly due to poaching but it also carries out preventive measures. in a last ditch attempt to save them rhino 911 has been assigned to help the horn rhinos in the province the animals are sedated before the patients horn is sold off . your reform was probably about. 56 kilograms. tragic of many if you do that. but unfortunately the only option that we have. to climb to something are 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 whole conservationists tell us that in some areas even d. horn rhino is. 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 get into the growth. part of the horn where there is definitely feeling and we also wouldn't be good from an infection point of view and rigo the bone so i think in this case i don't feel that the overstimulated is a lot of vibration going for the body as a sort of food anaesthetic you know it's not a lot like being in a theatre so the so they would respond to that but i don't think it's partly the process takes about half an hour the horn is labeled wait for a graph and it will later be stored in a secret government vault far away from the park improved security measures and interventions such as the horning have helped south africa to cut the number of poached animals by half over the past 5 years. rhino 911 walks closely with the rhine orphanage in nonprofit center that cares for all fund and

injured rhino cobbs. fundie america 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 your land hopes to release the rhino spec into the wild once they have matured but she is concerned about the rise in porcine as a result of the economic fallout caused by corporate 19 rhinos are still being killed it defrosted piece then they can reproduce. the sons of covert 900 sort of picking up in south africa with definitely seen an increase in costs arriving we've had 4 cops 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 impedance but rhino 911 has spotted 2 animals on the move time to fix opinions on mixed some believe it makes male rhinos winner of all 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 at a moment right we're 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 prehistoric animal. and we 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 resume grazing for 3 years rhino 911 has been working with authorities to dion rhinos 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 when it is often see 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 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. the designer who's based in germany 1st cleans and supports the waste. heat in an oven to soften the.

plastic. it is toxic fumes so a kid wears a mask for protection as she needs and presses the match she merely think what happens in nature will be a distance of in the company and i came up with the idea for the tiles because a lot of plastic waste ends up in the oceans mostly by our rivers in china and africa it's broken down into smaller and smaller pieces and it ends up on beaches through pressure until it becomes part of the stand there doesn't have its 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. of a. lemurs to take waste and turn it into something that's also beautiful and durable. acuteness 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 post said just a tweet. hash tag doing your base. we share your story you. really 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 again i am capital accra that's right sondra with their creation. with influence they have the parts suppliers and fascinates us and also to make us think could be a man jaco is a good man painter whose works draw attention destruction of our oceans it graphic

oceans so few years to come if we are able to do a bot do anything about getting this which is not in. the paintings illustrates the purity of the contrasting needs with the damage done by human activity. while this is a joke that now lives of he hopes it can also save the greater purpose of helping preserve the illusion for future generations. if we stand 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. visits the beach in his community every day picking up least washed ashore. he recycles these with items by using them for his spin teams telling the real stories

of how polluted to see ease but who has a wish to go to one day live under the sea to live with one thing and frank for it to be kept clean and for how to relate to me in day to day life and how do you also believe in a one of the beautiful bit of the whole of my life. the importance of preserving the. same. i twig is a constant reminder of time. we had to send ago announcing some more individuals dedicated to helping the planet this time on shore then zio the day works in the service of the cops or the planting trees wherever they can these include 1st and foremost trees as well as force and so-called boy entries 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 of their. fellow. planting trees is now a days santa is 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 neighbor is that the vision of a local n.g.o.s has managed to win over the local residents. living on. 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 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 or. 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 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 plant. big cities are growing as a breath taking 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 woodlands continue to be destroyed every year. yet in from this when they move there's a lot of pressure on them centers the 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. as a 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 trains 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 its military training grow these large secluded a.b.s. i use proxies military maneuvers and i slowed hand grenades in germany for instance many whereas the sea have fallen right huge on i mean 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 one. 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 to find 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. 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 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 sites are ecologically important. didn't lets an expert on know the 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 pioneers 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 cotton ponds form and tank trails and bomb craters where frogs and newts can spawn. this is not static environmental protection. so constantly changing but there are 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 on 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 sheep saw prince grazing and droppings get the turf into the state that nature needs who can support. 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 embalm order to spite 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 specially hard hit by the consequences. that is right let us look. at this small central african country has lost nearly 20 percent over its forest coverage 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 rhonda's capital for example you can pay with bank notes any and that's just the start rhonda hopes interesting way 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 is tim has been in place since may 28000 motorcycle taxi drivers have signed up the technology behind it was developed by a rwandan company. they are registering their names on our platform and all saw they are opening a bank account so we're working with the. local bank so that they can be open a bank account at the same time and registering their name on our platform. 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 it's 6 to 8 percent is made of paper are waste so one of the

benefit to be. the worst and cutting they always do also has. an impact on a place in sick and is going green 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 tell. you no longer said this paper bag. somewhere in there and so i think this. that is all for them if the you didn't want to say goodbye to the point. there was another thing stray kirsch saw when the 2 ought to get to digitalize. 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 also keep our eyes open and let you know how it goes but now with going to the end for today and i'm excited that you could join us thank you all for watching i am sunday to nobody here in kampala the capito or uganda thank you sandra it's a 5 for me it's a relay that's nigeria we will be back next week with more inspiring stories on our we've got make up on it a better place to live and that's why the from demi c.n.n. x. time and do stay healthy. can

you hear me now yes yes we've got new you and i last year's german chancellor when you bring your uncle our mascot but you've never heard her before the surprise yourself with what is possible who is magical really want a new style and want to also talk to people who follow her along the way i admire
