take all over the continent a beautiful garden of africa and you wrote to shed light on some exciting you taught me how one man and god i went from voting to protect you. and bringing on people making can be done sustainably well find out how and i'm eco friendly business idea for the pandemic you are a young south african banks owned by. conservation is defined as the preservation and efficient use of resources when he comes to nature we humans can choose to destroy it but as you regular viewers of the graphic know raising awareness is sometimes all it takes to convince a village a community always single person to commit to environmental protection he is an example from ghana. it's so jeffrey is saying you know used to come to the forest of joe

fay to kill animals now he comes to protect them parts of the forest became a refuge and the poacher has become a ranger he and his colleagues are documenting the traces wildlife leave behind and any destructive human activities now that poachers traps like this one are being removed there are more analysts here again. it's like that with the good. of the ice. on them. they thank. the lutheran nathan is who. they said no to contend with. the documentation he works on enables inferences about which species live in the only pony endangered species refuge. jeffrey a failure has been working for the in geo her conservation gonna for 3 years and

receive the regular salary equivalent to $55.00 euros a month and all they'll be. from here. in the. good job in the work and you can do. he's one of 100 local people trained by the n.g.o.s forest rangers for once a month he replaces the batteries in the camera traps. the photos will help with the creation of a more detailed census of the forests inhabitants. which only live in this region is one of several species here that are critically endangered but its population is growing much to the delight of the ngos founder. when we talk about just the scully way you leave when your house or your neighborhood be destroyed you cannot survive nothing the community was doing to

this for 3 days how we resolved that one would become pains to reduce the consumption of this for us food and the 2nd thing that we've done so very well one will support holes sauces the water for the people so that they don't need to come in bath and wash a used this stream in the month. of the flood. the indios team works closely with the people living in the area offering help and information geoffrey of a neo is a member of what they call the behavior change group every week they visit villages in the area including by jamie where he lives to talk about ways to protect the forest and its animals. they have. many. many we used. to kill 2 people. programs and all these things into.

2. parts of that people to put text. the only pony endangered species refuge has recently been expanded by an area the size of $16000.00 soccer fields thanks to neighboring landowners and churches a significant achievement considering that ghana has lost 20 percent of its forest cover over the past 2 decades thanks for. the. tension these days but we still have to cope with the problems we face due to climate change christian communities on the coast of africa in particular. a rising sea levels. overfishing and loss of habitat that is indeed the case and that is why i say you're on your own a $40000000.00 project to build resilience in

a community we visit the tata islands to see how coaster erosion is affecting people there and also find out how they are fighting back. just 2 years ago it was possible for the people of land to walk along this stretch without getting it but the rising sea level has split one of sierra leone's turtle island into. more than half of the island has disappeared the archipelago was once a bustling fishing community no 500 people have been forced to leave in the past few years because their homes we washed away by floods one of them. is a really built 2 houses on the island not even the 2nd one is 13 by raising mortar . most of his belongings he says have already been carried out to sea.

having lived. because this is where i grew up and i've lived all my life here it's where i built my house 1st the water washed away the last trees and then he took my house with not i built another house but the water will soon take that one too now i have left the island and settled on a larger one nearer to the main out of the fight for life. or settle. to suleiman cover couldn't afford to visit all the whole family on the mainland immediately his wife still lives on young guy and his children are with realities starting a new life is expensive most people here leave or no more than $0.10 a day suliman carbonneau tries to save some of the money he makes from fishing so

$1.00 day the rest of his family can join him now he leaves on share bow island but even then he is afraid of flooding the threat of rising sea levels is very real. if you years ago waves broke through the flood wall in order to restore the damage says sure the municipality and the government found international partners to finance this large scale project and this time they want to do it better seize the mia we are worried that if we are to take. this issue. to restoring the 1st war and to also assuring that we maintain our greenmount. it would be disastrous for our people or several islands this new embarkment to be almost 2 kilometers long and one meter taller than the highest type measured so far. but the east a long way to go. many islanders don't yet

understand the danger of deforestation that tree cover would provide the island's a measure of natural resilience and would slow erosion 3rd. the authorities have started to involve the local population in measures to protect the climates mine grooves have been planted fishermen alpha djalu looks in on the young man group plant nearly every day he say's the roots will bind the soil and protect it from being washed away in the rainy season or so these men groove roots who help the ground become stable again if we don't plant here the problems will remain houses will be lost and people will have to migrate again. the mom groups in the im bugman project giving hope sees. but he knows that

a lot more will need to be done to protect the homes in livelihoods of the thousands of people whose to leave on shipboard in the smaller islands. all children to. one problem and when you are in no mood to be cheery you. mean by living near the change in the nation even. how well climate change affect us and our children. dot com slash water. on not only raised hunted for the a meat but also for the high colds or skates the idea of a hunt but maybe up the fact if you stop but such things are being met with increasing criticism in europe vegan alternatives are in big demand one woman in

france even gave up a job in law enforcement after selling the trend into a business idea here is this week's doing. since you have a song designs bags and fashion accessories that are in a version of an environmentally friendly. or funky punky i'm vegan what looks like leather is actually caught with a rather unusual coating. known as you know who does that both you know. this material is made of cactus if it is but it's cactus that's been dried and turned into powder. sealed by a song lives in by you in northern france she only recently became a deacon she used to work in law enforcement with me but decided she wanted to do something more creative. she says business is good despite everything. yeah you had

to go was this the crisis but i'm an amish market begin and a tease you know and there's still demand for that. make it to the movie. in europe demand for vegan fashion has increased more than 10 percent over 5 years with a very cool animal free bags so see you buy a song is in vogue. and how about you know if you're also doing your big tell us about visit our website or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. it is pretty obvious to all of us by now that the current requires us to make

a lot of changes in the way we conduct our life but it is also giving us a new team on how so many of the. even the simple things new ideas are much ink that can really benefit people and the environment in these trying times. that's right sandra in south africa a young man came up with a great new business venture it's eco friendly and has been well received by his own label. young men in blue overalls cruising through the streets of longer in recent weeks the residents of the cape town suburb have gotten used to the sight. this is the man behind the bicycle armada. cloudy deliveries is the name of color because he's nearly found it business it to every service on bikes the 1st one in the township. he starts every day with

a team meeting. the group discusses goals and customer service practices. the idea for the business stems from his own experience. something i mean something from. so i think. the delivery fleet is heading out. on him cause he doesn't have time to do deliveries anymore there's too much admin work to get done. since the 22 year old started to now do deliveries in january 2020 it has grown steadily and the coronavirus pandemic boosted the business even more today the team has around 20 delivery rides we follow one of them on his shift this busy customer has asked 19 year old who took his easy causa to buy groceries and

a cell phone cover for her. i'm working from home so it's very convenient for me because i don't have time to actually go to the store and i have to. make it as long as you took the cause is heading to the supermarket the customers pay $9.00 rand per delivery roughly the equivalent of 50 u.s. sends the delivery rider gets 3 rand delivering the remaining 6 rand goes to the company. youth unemployment in south africa is extremely high and the pandemic has only made things worse until police because i just finished school he wants to continue his studies one day but for now he's happy working as a delivery driver. much of it was that i do it before. helping people around. me a shilling issue and. back at the headquarters the calls us still coming in every cyclist does $45.00 deliveries per day with many people forced to stay at home

during the lockdown cloudy deliveries is filling a huge gap in the township and the township residents like the unusual new service . you do get feel. no need to. call him cause he's next goal is to expand his fleet and to open his own online shop to benefit the environment he plans to use only paper for packaging to set an example that he hopes other companies will follow. our way of doing things is reaching its limits and that's something we often hear in our days when it comes to the stewardship of natural resources it is certainly the case that the radical rethink is needed we have to protect forest rivers.

and plants and that will require coming up with ways of making on using things without creating which here are some impressive examples. minutiae astrid buds in spends much of her free time thinking about wild plants. her motto is you protect what you know and she's on a mission to get people to know the wild plants around them better. than that's why she created the game not to a memo a memory game that you teaches people of all ages about plant life. began their stupid fancy and i would really like wild plants to be part of our lives again i think in fact i'll even go one step further i'd also like to see them on their menu because wild plants contain so many important nutrients that are

often missing from the culture of vegetables we eat nowadays owners and she made sure not to a memo was produced to a standard called cradle to cradle. but the cradle to cradle standard means more than just come possible it also means that during decomposition little to nothing is released that could harm the environment printouts loci is the 1st in germany that prints to this standard ralph inherited the company from his father and has transformed it into a fully green operation. recently i think it's the responsibility of a company to make sure that its products don't harm the environment. we need to make a profit so that both our staff and the company can make a living with. but we're not looking to make a profit at the expense of people and nature. of course.

this means making every step of the process the stain of all the printing machines provide climate control for the building which uses the water every circulation system. the machines are also c o 2 neutral and the paper and printing colors both carry cradle to cradle certification making the change from a conventional printing house to a sustainable one was an easy decision fellow chi. it's not going to mentally much more expensive. but you do need to be willing to reorganize things. course when you rethink production. a lot of things need to be completely overhauled you need a whole new approach. this is a challenge facing the entire printing industry more than half of the paper thrown out 12 wide ends up in landfills and more paper is produced every year paper can take up to 20 years to break down and that process releases c

o 2 and me thing into the atmosphere the whole and other chemicals from the printing process also see from the paper into the environment catapult magazine founder benyamin freight began printing on a different sort of paper to save trees. this is the magazine issue where we changed over from normal paper to recycle paper. here i calculated how many trees were filled with normal paper and on the back with recycled paper if publishers would simply switch from normal paper to recycled paper it would be a huge step. sure it would be so much less damaging to the environment. it's a viable solution for big publishes is simple and catapult says it costs them less than one percent more to use recycled paper and if people opted for the same high standards as asked to put in completely sustainable printed products could become

as common as wild plants. our next trip or takes us to many of the country's 50. inhabitants live beside the atlantic ocean where the sea level rise caused by climate change is making the existing problem of costly russian worse 4 decades ago a forest was planted in the northwest of the country to combat the problem of shoreline retreat. that is right near to and changed the lives of farmers and fishermen there but now population growth and other a putting a strain on the forest communities are now walking together in order to maintain or given to prove the forest hill. a bound to fall harvest of opposition or eggplants that's not something that pharma money so take for granted. here's one of over 20000 farmers living in the ne i use region of northwest in

senegal many live close to the closed and so potentially facing threats of erosion and sandstorms. but a belt of trees is helping to protect them. almost 200 kilometers long it's 500 metres wide at its narrowest point. the forest was planted 40 years ago as a shield against wind and coastal erosion. right here when we had no was once not seemed that way and he is he's known for his living duties. for these trees we have plenty to eat up there we did we need a cause illusion that they call that much learn the disease and he ended up with a cultural activities they made it impossible for the foremost to sense and here it was. uprooted the said that this is the. to day 6 of the sons of

senegalese vegetable production comes from the news region. an estimated 225000 tons of produce here only. it has become the country's food basket and it was a pine trees that allowed farmers like a small asserts it creates their fields. if you. want to because we were concerned with this was only after the trees were planted that were able to live and work the land. at 1st you could only put up temporary shelters because everything has. been sort of pine trees asunder stable and because of that we have a fertile forest and homes i can cultivate vegetables on. talk not. it's a delicate balance though the farmers need the trees for protection but

a growing population means the demand for timber for feel and fulfilled in fairness is also growing and. the solution the forest has been divided up into some $200.00 plus mohnish by different agricultural and forestry groups. each group decides which can be felled according to strict. some planes up shunted to replace any trees that are chopped down this newsreader leaves some planes to fun as all over the coast. the holy book plainly in. as you can see it's because of the abundance of pine trees that we have for thailand sold maintaining the forests essential to the work of our association. in order to do the washing we have to plant and replenish trees so if it's crucial to sustainable development one it can but that's a good one doug what the young trees are wanted in their plastic chutes to ensure

the absorb as much moisture a spot simple then the plastic is cut away to let the tree take root over $50000.00 trees are planted each year and hopefully they'll also protect future generations informants from encroaching sand and rising sea levels. it is good to be reminded of that and looking after the environment can really pay all that is all the help we need today thank you for joining us it is a goodbye from the sun but we know via here in complex until next find feasted by neil to by phone alexandra it was a pleasure co-hosting the show with you and to our viewers out there remember you can find out more about environmental protection on sustainability on our social media platforms but for now i'm now tideway signing off from abuja nigeria see your game.
