happiness is for everyone human penises are very different from primates we have a totally ridiculous sized view of nature. as climate change sex how do you know. you get smarter for 3 books. hello and welcome to another edition of africa i am sandra 3 nobody coming to you from kampala here in uganda well it has we nearly 5 years since this show focusing on environmental issues foster went on air and we're looking forward to reporting on more and more amazing projects and great ideas for protecting and improving the

walled we all live in as well as drawing attention to the problems that i gently need solving well here are some of the topics coming up on the program. eco friendly transportation diploma g.e. made in africa an example from kenya. popcorn and why it's not just for eating as scientists in germany we'll demonstrate this move. on to the next of course of a shift in south africa he's pairing young people to protect white life. but post a week heads to namibia more than 20 percent of the country is on the course of asian one isn't it is home to incredible variety over a rare in danger of species of animal including the cheetahs the so-called cots need a very specific kind of environment to breed unmaintained the aborted temperature when it gets a very. the trouble is that they often live near

a rural communities and cause problems for people and their livestock now restarted support away for farmers to drastically of course reduce their livestock losses without killing the beautiful big cards. a rare sighting of wild t.t.'s in the media. the country has the largest free range in population of cheaters in the world but according to recent research still the numbers are little. here the population is threatens because it doesn't occur inside of national parks but on commercially farm land there's obviously needs to conflict as the truth ok finally prey on livestock of the farms. teeters population numbers across africa have dropped to less than 7000 worldwide as the habitat is lost to farmland and how some core struction portion and illegal trading caps pause

a feather challenge and because she just attack livestock they also get killed by farmers. scientists from germany's life in its institute have found a way to reduce that conflict to spend more than a decade studying cheetahs in namibia part of their study involves putting radio collars on the animals and monitor indian movements the team not to study the cheetahs always return to certain areas of practice passed on from one generation to the next they visit these territories and mark read in the territory so we call this centers of the territories not a marquee trees are we call the communication hops because territorial males they used these trees and also the oldest in the region around so these territories berries. stable you know always there and even if the territory hold us

disappear die then the new territory hold us up all day exactly the same place this allows a scientist to identify areas where she just congregate the then advice to farmers not to put a life stalk in those places it's about 10 percent of the area that is highly dangerous because concentrations of to cheetos is very high and about 90 percent that is much less risky for the harmers and the cattle. the farm is that i've moved cattle out of harms way now there was far fewer i knew most to the big cuts. this simple adjustment reduced the livestock losses by more than 80 percent and that's off the conflict for the farmers and for the truth as in many cases. reducing the conflict between

humans and money mouse means more survive and that has other benefits to these powerful pre-dates has helped keep the populations of grass in the most under control thus preserve in a montagne india political balance of disadvantage. what incredible creatures and what a great idea to promote a peaceful coexistence between the well animals and the humans and this report is about a really interesting bit in south africa it aims to help communities live alongside animals in the wild as well as offer professional opportunities it is called the truck a company and as the name suggests it trains disadvantaged the rural people in the traditional skills of way of life trucking. as it is sunny and. a looking for this special friends in the day. since bush learned of the love of

north of johannesburg. a group of rhinos is hidden somewhere here. this is the front 2 pair. of them with spurs on the ground twisted twigs and droppings lead them to the animals. their professional tracking. system they were doing with wrecking police for meat for their with their hunting they do it they did they try they started and we're just carrying on when they are fought back in a different way because then they would do we need for food we we have for the for the well not to not to kill but to protect. tracked his play a critical role in keeping the animals in the reserves safe. south africa as nearly

80 percent of the world's rhino population and has been hardest hit by poaching but since 2014 cents to strict security measures reserves have half dry and of killings from $1200.00 animals to about 600 in 29000 to keep his animals safe conservation manager had money does not only rely on devices. but they really do a lot of monitoring work especially on. conservation important species like. some of the big cats and so on we will utilize various forms of technology to try and track these animals and keep tabs on these animals but technology fell on you from time to time. and then we have to revert back to the basic tracking skills. this is the mara reserve is part of the great career a semi desert region with characteristic wildlife vegetation soil and climate

conditions the reserve is also one of 3 training grounds for a very unusual track record to me today is examination day little has to show his instructors he can track an answer in the semi arid crew by a. different one because even when richard is in front of. a good track reads the environment and develops an intuitive feeling for the ways and habits of animals droppings are just one of many signs they read. just finally labor hung my tip finds his target hidden in the bushes. grew up in the area that night and my long. hours see in the most lonely this mall is the ones who and then you know what are the biggest in the moniker i know everything the inside of a school i was thinking that motivation of i want to go to to learn about guns in

the mine and everything the academy is an ngo that offers free training to $24.00 young rural people from various african countries each year realising that only a few traditional trackers remained in southern africa onyx when he 1st started the school 10 years ago with the help of a private sponsor meanwhile the academy gets thousands of applications paid here. we are to. because to do for the benefit of conservation and for the benefit of an ancient culture and to improve the lives of the students that come through our program think it's a new and it is proving successful reign was 94 percent of all graduates are employed and the trackers are needed many iconic animals like crocodiles leopards and cheetos remain critically endangered. after a long day of working and learning in the felt the pupils returned to the boarding house was softer for many of them heard of the tracker cademy 3 people from their

villages who went through the program and subsequently found work in the reserves they hope that they too will one day be a role model for their peers back home. the ones who'll be on the vodka boom in solar energy in 2018 accounted for 2 percent of one white in the christie usage and its share is growing fast experts say solar and wind are said to be the most sustainable sources of renewable energy in the solomon hemisphere the international renewable energy agency sees that over the past decade it costs for solar have dropped by 80 percent let us now go visit an energy provider that is building the biggest solar park in germany. these panels are pretty easy to install but there are thousands of them still to go. in

the countryside near berlin germany's biggest solar park is taking shape. half a 1000000 modules built on metal frame. 119 posts. 250 kilometers of cable. 153 working on behalf of one of germany's biggest energy companies. we definitely have the potential to complete projects of this scale but rather than size it's the viability of the project that counts for you. this solar park is the size of 225 soccer pitches facilities in europe tend to be smaller because they compete with agriculture for. but solar parks alone aren't enough here in germany there are 19000000 apartment buildings and houses the loss

of roof space. and an ideal place for solar panels. i mean tired industry has been built around installing. now adays the systems are very affordable and economical to run since you basically don't have any maintenance costs. cause the installations have become so affordable to install that they quickly pay for themselves what is your what. mux of our own the house for their roof tops solar systems in many cases the system actually produces more energy than a household needs. as one of the things that makes it financially worthwhile is that the costs of heating your house or heating your water are pretty low.

the equipment paid for itself in just a few years. after that the electricity produced is essentially free. max fathers' energy needs do exceed what he produces though that is because his family have 2 electric cars that need to be recharged. off. solar energy is expected to see significant growth in germany. by the time the last coal fired power station is switched off and 2038 there would have to be 5 times as many rooftop solar systems on parks as there are now to cover energy needs. solar energy would then account for a quarter of the country's power i would post. to germany's biggest solar park

project 10 years ago the operating company was one of the biggest nuclear power producers in the country. they still run several coal fired plants but that will soon be a thing of the past. these new energy sources will have to fill the gap they've become a central pillar in our portfolio. 2012 we've seen growth in. all new and renewable segments including wind both offshore and onshore as well as solar. and these technologies will account for about half of our output by 2025 i need. this solar panels just keep on coming day in on day as. talks of sustainable mobility tend to focus on the big cities in ways to reduce

traffic congestion and pollution and of course make life better on you give me basis on protecting you and what took you off because well it's not taken that off the optical you know they since it was developed you take. these handcuffs off away several 100 kilos and here in kenya's capital nairobi exhausted noise are another problem for day laborers. kenneth plant ties invention could make life easier it's an electric powered cox that goes faster and can carry more be built in a system that. is because you get to silver to charge where you need to kill it and that's it if you're looking to get more people. to join just sort of moving

you know isn't useful it doesn't but you might only see if this is. in addition to sparing the environment a new vehicle can move it up to 7 kilometers an hour without using much manpower its ability to power itself it is kinetic energy at its best and a big help for using this. month in the us there's only one by you are working you know how everything is pathetic why then vital meant the very thought that. dream to achieve this one time i developed electric rickshaw and like noisy diesel trucks this version rolls through nairobi almost silently and without emissions it also carries 5 instead of 3 people. who want to diversify. but. they cannot admit it can be made it can be in buses wasn't. one of the more beautiful company. on top of that it's produced sustainably

since components of the electric vehicles come from the region. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our websites all send us a tweet. hash tag doing your best. we share your story. a lot of the things we use in our day to day life i made the point of wealthy and. knew he was a model and was but for the entire exhaust fumes from the cars of plastic frost you know since opining high none of those are just examples he's a terrible problem scientists are looking for alternatives and sometimes come up with great ideas on. the ways of the best that somebody was doing. much the

things we've called. this building is getting added thermal insulation and done printing from polystyrene for every year over 10000000 tons of the synthetic material are turned into everything from facade cladding to disposable bowls and cups and packaging. but one extremely useful the downside of the material is that it is essentially non-biodegradable and takes centuries to break down. and as it does it produces miniscule particles into the ground and our water supplies. this man has a plan to replace the plastic polluted since 2008. and his team have been looking into an environmentally friendly alternative popcorn. similar to polystyrene phone. consists of a mass of cavities filled with their poor. can see them when you dissect

a piece of popcorn and examine it under the microscope. that's what makes it so light. like the market research and his team have already used popcorn to create kitchen furniture they're saying manufacture is the range of potential applications for popcorn the 1st step is to turn it into a massive granules all the same size the original maize is grown in germany well that is land intensive on the plus side the material will help to reduce fossil fuel consumption. and you can eat it it tastes a lot like popcorn except there's no sugar or chocolate of course so the taste is a bit boring. the granules have been pressed together to form sheets or panels with plant proceeding providing the bonding agent as opposed to synthetic chemicals this makes the material compostable and even

suitable as animal fodder. the team of pioneers in the field. they also use a hot air gun to compare the thermal conductivity of polystyrene foam to that of popcorn and then measure the heat that penetrates through to the back in the case of polystyrene foam the sensor reads 28 degrees celsius while the popcorn board is even better at absorbing the heat here the reading is under $25.00 degrees. houses with the panels in the walls around the facades and from also you can also use them as insulation for solid building. demarc. popcorn material also performs better in the flammability test the polystyrene burns up at a frightening speed immediately beginning to melt and release toxic gases.

subjected to the same flame the panel a popcorn barely catches fire. only reason the poor is happy to pass on the fruits of years of research on the material. or he hopes to see environmentally friendly products made from popcorn replacing polystyrene foam on a large scale and the sooner the better. the 1st popcorn packaging is due to go on the market in the fall of 2021 and will hopefully help to reduce the world's growing mountains of plastic waste. and new technologies can certainly make our lives easier when the internal combustion engine was developed in the 19th century you know in margit air pollution on

serious health issues it will be later that his wife many you know waiters call me to finding it will be a waste of pouring machines. when these innovations help to counteract climate change then wait to see for yourself. we that corn husks aren't uncommon in ground are these days because drought has lasted months and the increasingly extreme weather threatens the libel hood's of local farmers especially those in the eastern part of the country who are not quote could be attributed it's apparent that climate change is real and increasingly dangerous the farming season is that people are used to another longer predictable at times it trains we're one expected drought route instead of rain and it's confusing you can just farm and have hope over having harvested what you were initially and when you aren't in a couple. is one family who has been fortunate during these hard times have filled me a roof so she's been able to pound sufficient water to her crops. but they do so leave

it to par the pound is expensive and the exhaust that is a metre the sun's out contributes to a greenhouse effect the researchers and technology experts from a random start up developed a solar powered irrigation system. they had to project was financed by a u.s. aid organization and they run the government they knew irrigation plants came at just the right time for 40 families from authorities in the district that god made agricultural more difficulty and the cost of renting the diesel pumps nearly consumed. with the today we ended up spending much of what awnings on buying fuel while using the fuel pump into narrators ira to those little left for our livelihood now we have gotten great of all those expenses we only need to deplete someone to water the plugs. of

the kurdish just. due to the more affordable. asian promise cannot attend a larger areas of land and keep farming they used a much higher some results. i did call a hole i was only have a sitting 50 kilograms of beans in 2 bags of sorghum axes on now with solar irrigation the yield volume has multiplied by 3 when i am considering expanding my farming even on that one i'll be more focused on the solar powered irrigation system should be up and running in all of party districts in the country by the end over $20900.00 this tucked up that builds the sun at irrigation system that's also developed a system to make sure the temperature and moisture of the soil since those calculate the exact amount of water needed by the plants. farmers i've been

notified by and up about when and how much they should what corrupts the plants need to get the optimal or what they mean that's why we believe when they use this technology to improve their production. and it does been tested to be a success in the play which has robin doing. these pilot system is powered by solar energy a swell now the foam is not exactly which plants need water and how much of the need for the time being they improvising with plastic bottles which will soon be replaced by water horses. it looks like technological advances will be key to all future that is all for today's show thank you all for being with us hope to see you again i think we'll be back with more exciting stories about the nature and of course of a ship i am signed a 3 no guilt signing off in compiler care in uganda. this
