there are many. make up your mind. made for minds. one welcome to this week's episode of our environmental show off because i am somebody nobody here in a company not uganda you don't know this show is a coproduction of chinese t.v. image area in germany and t.v. here in uganda but i am most anon i am with my co-host create a lens hello create i sound robyn hello to all of us from me illegals large area

it's good to have you with us for another edition of our environment show with a focus on africa now here are some topics coming up today. why bike reform sneaks in the words oceans often begin to see. you venture babs vacuuming up south africa's beaches. and a spanish aunties to send some of these baby and she gets touches. but 1st we head to west and west songbirds them you rope like to spend the winter now millions of them migrate to senegal mauritania and for the south of landlocked walk in a fossil while their hobby to its increasingly on the threats from intensive farming steal a number of calls ovation least they can to ensure migratory birds can still find a way into a home in sub-saharan africa. the

fruits of the kodiak tree. tom green's and the good peanuts for enhanced. the. treason couple return the national insult and booking a fossil office favorable living conditions for many species of bugs. nevertheless but conservationists are concerned migratory bugs from western europe such as the kingfish are becoming increasingly rare. so while a very migratory birds are indicators of the health of an environment today we can see there are fewer and fewer migratory birds here and this is clearly due to their due to ration or the nature of the hobby to a large degree about still are not true then there are. just a few kilometers away from the conservation area where they vastly tea is a thing of the past only show trees as far as the eye can see there was metrics

industry past which she is driving a blend and farmers like a nice 9 are profiting from meat booking a fossil is the wall 2nd biggest exporter of she announced which i used to make cooking oil and skin products for the idea of going to china is very profitable for us sometimes i see elements about it on more with a bottle. but awareness is leading to a shift in practices now the farmers are starting to restore that is to davao city and that begins with creating a healthy sort of i'm a jew must son works for a dutch angel which is concerned with the survival of migratory birds he shows the farmers how to make compost from their logical west including cow dung and misleads the compost is to place official for the lies as we keep insects an important food source for the bats. to secure pornography regarded as well our god is the protection of dogs but unless the pharmacy direct financial benefits they aren't

interested that's why we walked to include business aspects in the project. and what their business group was or. maize farm on franklin on e. has a rating the number of posts are some tied them about how can i save a lot of money every year on a petition for to lasers and the food is much more subtle now and we are all much healthier. the n.c.o. convinced him that it will be better to live through this time being in his food he now knows that in heavy rains that top soil doesn't wash away so easily the roots of the comments would 3 whole days so he will. they want to send a water carrier not under their eyes up over water from a mom i used to remove all their wishes and young trees on my fields now i practice what is called assisted natural mr ration it's simple you cut back week branches to build the stronger ones grow quickly into

a tree then it can flower for bees and other insects we truly are trapped by. all holed up with and of all babbling you know. movies modern day vasya t.v. that's the idea behind angel afrique vats complained to teach families about keeping the shelf. also on extra money when i demanded she already has a big heaping experiences but is happy to have been fresher. how does one use a small car to come easy on them when is it time to harvest the honey nearly particles and farmers have had training in the last year. that ripping object to fly fast objective is on an environmental level is to create biodiversity because bees pollinate fruit trees and trees in general so this will help the trees and in particular it will help if she had to really look at it in.

d.c. i noticed that the she had reproduced more fruit and thanks to a stromboli nation i'm really happy to have the girl is the one. older people will continue to plan she attorneys in the future they're more likely to leave other 2 standing or swim allowing more nature to develop and thrive. it's a prediction we keep hearing the are that shocking every time experts have calculated that by 2050 plus ticket the oceans will outweigh 1st that is correct creased it is a horrifying 1st but aren't as if the effects of luck to everyone marine life weren't bad enough some are thought to simply take a look at. will it be that michael would already be having on the on health let's take a look. what's on the menu plastic. bottle cap dim sum. or maybe some lego sushi sounds strange but that is roughly

equivalent to the amount of microscopic pieces of plastic that we in just over the course of a month 20 kilograms over the course of a lifetime. we do this by simply breathing and drinking water and eating fish the oceans and rivers in particular are full of my kreplach sticks says malcolm hudson a professor of environmental science he conducts research on marine pollution from plastic particles those plastic particles if you like a little time bombs waiting to break down small enough to agree absorbed by wildlife or by people and then potentially have harmful consequences. because plastic does not biodegrade it turns up everywhere flooding the beaches and choking marine foreigner and flora plastic production has risen sharply over the past 50 years there are now over $400000000.00 tonnes worldwide per year smaller and smaller particles are created by wind and waves friction and sunlight is so small

that they could be absorbed into our blood through the stomach researchers see this as a danger to humans experiments with cell cultures already showing that large amounts of particles can be toxic. what we can so i think with some certainty is if we carry on at the moment as we're going to see more and more plastic not managing the waste very well eventually where weeks levels where off nationals are actually needed and there are harmful effects on the environment and potentially even on ourselves. the total impact on humans is not yet clear experts fear that the tiny particles could trigger immune reactions over least toxic substances into the pot. just one more good argument to put an end to our love affair with plastic. that all sounds very worrying plastic can really mess up a world it is bad for the animals and for us but i'm scared we won't be getting rid

of eat any time soon fortunately there are loads of people coming up with it trusting solutions to talk of the problem one of them comes from is the puppet and it is a pretty cool idea is that a regional way of getting rid of the micro plastics in waterways and on beaches. there's nothing in this no who can't go. no item of plastic can escape the jaws of this giant vacuum tina crisscrosses use in what's called the enviro buggy to collect rubbish in the train cape town's beaches because a vacation is to works with the organization. which developed the prototype a couple of years ago every day an estimated 100000 tonnes of plastic a found in south africa's many beaches that's

a lot to clean up according to crisscross the beach cleaner can even suck up our stick particles just one minute he says small a special cvs system separates the sun. then 100 people on the branch we weren't really making where we weren't making as much of an impact as we could regarding the micro plastics our 1st came about trying to make the micro plaster collection a lot more efficient and quicker across and these n.g.o.s recently joined forces with a local recycling company on the outskirts of cape town. to full use sought out various items into recyclable materials some 20 people on shift every day even the rubbish not classified as recyclable can be put to good use. this is a make or break here so it's all the plastics that cannot be reuse the recent purchase to recycle go into one of these. compressed as best they can and

used as a building material in local building projects and around the community. other initiatives start it's an early stage they concentrate on rivers the community of marina did gamma responded to see the result nets with different sizes to catch plastic along waterways before it gets to the ocean. peter ryan a marine plastic research at the university of cape town estimates that between 60 percent and 90 percent of marine plastic on the beaches that's arrived via waterways like this one just standing here we can see all of this rubbish coming down the canal here this is the major source of litter that we are concerned about in an urban setting in south africa side poorly managed weist on land getting into wastewater systems and being carried down into the sea and initiatives like this where we're actually intercepting this letter before it gets into the sea and

starting to make a significant difference. for the north in the township outside johannesburg these volunteers are unemployed locals they're removing plastic wastes from the literature apps positioned in the hand ups with. sigman being charged explains that mountains of plastic that accumulates in the space of just seem to. be stuck with their mates when they're in the rainy season drying stock exchange at the ranch and in fact in the winter a lot of stuff gets put up dumps in concerts and stuff so the bad stuff gets washed down rain sleet and so it keeps on the whole summer but it will start its beginnings trying to stop it. not only is the engineer working to be the head. notes of waste this is looking into some of the main contributors of the pollution back at the ocean the mission to see the bigger picture encourages young people to

get involved studies in south africa have shown that on the clean up nearly 90 percent of the plastic latrine the beaches can be collected still even that is only a 1st step once we can teach them the dangers of marine plastics they will think that they kill where they live and we will try to stop that speed at the source so instead of throwing things on the road or outside on the beach we'll actually be allowed to dispose of everything properly. crisscross and his team currently operating the enviro it's been already do the work of about 30 people the plan is to start mass producing the machine and ultimately return south africa's beaches so if you want pristine condition. wow those images remind us that we really need to keep up the fight against rusty should we all tend to throw we all

too much stuff that can actually be recycled. you are absolutely right sandra and carlos silva from cape verde. has come up with a clever way of for use in cooking or. in case very day one entrepreneur is seeking to clean up the environment one bar of soap at a time. tara very day is an ecological soul which carlos silva makes using vegetable oils green clay flower and other ingredients. he tries to source most of the ingredients locally. and weighs only. 8 years ago i started out producing soap from. cooking oil. over it could be used to wash dishes and later i began making this eco soap for people to use in the shower then. silva's desire to help the environment motivated the move to producing

ecologically sustainable cosmetic products. who knows that everything we use ends up in the sewer which will then contaminate the rivers oceans and groundwater. silva has now also measured parts of the production process. even the machines he uses are made from recycled materials. he can now produce more cars in much less time. but if you used to take me a town has to make a batch now it's only 3 a lot of the steps automated now. carlos silva hopes to sell his terror of a day soap on the international markets. then how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website

or send us a tweet. ashtray doing your bit. we share your stories. on the report calls from spain there lorenza among gold to run free it's delicate sculptures that combine is paasschen for. the impulse to take walks and that's when he collects the materials that serve us is converse it turns them into intricate pieces of arts that expresses love of nature i'll sit back i let a self pyatt. they so much to discover in a single tiny leaf. these filigree most to pieces were handmade by spanish artist lord enzo montoya did and. he cut them into leaves harvested from

trees and bushes. on the. bush when i go into the forest more than anything it's just i'm looking for peace and quiet. this is where my creativity really gets flowing. which reads. in spring the money where to go searching through the forests of his home province guadalajara for just the right. joke. the perfect leaf doesn't exist. leaves grow in nature they've undergone a process of evolution. but it's precisely their imperfection that in my view makes them perfect perfect and. these works give

little hint of the time effort and dedication that's gone into them. did empresses the fresh leaves and lets them dry for a few days. the leaves have to be dry enough that cuts don't smell or discolor and yet most enough not to crumble. the image stencil is attached to the leaf with fixative then he carefully works his way around with a scalpel cut by cut. i was inspired when i watched a caterpillar getting its way through a leaf. yeah but i gave me the idea to cut my own designs into leaves. over time i learned more and more and developed my own technique meeting. depending on the design it can take lorenzo did on several days to finish the cutting interest the almost minutes to work. for him his has been a journey of self-expression. is

a scene one side of belief is turned to the light. on the other stays in shape you know within that there's a similarity there to us humans. one side of us is visible the other is not. a hard thing when i work on a leaf i'm in touch with a side of me that isn't visible lose his works also in demand with companies for green media campaigns leaves cleanse the air of carbon dioxide and produce oxygen making them an ideal symbol for a healthy environment put it on sustainability and green ethics of very important. is what i want to express is that human beings original bond with nature. today we've lost this sense of connection. so not only if we humans manage to

see ourselves as a part of nature that we can learn to respect our environment again. if they carefully preserved his outputs can survive 10 years or more but it's like nature itself they to the tree. there is no mistaking the artist betsy nature's beauty has to be preserved which is also the theme of the next report that comes from kenya except it creates about the response of looking better and. then know what. you need to put suppose the patient on paying for both the people and. the. conservancy in central kenya is a paradise for animals and animal lovers the 250 square kilometers are home to thousands of giraffes elephants lions rhinos and many other species.

used to be part of a cattle ranch owned by a british farmer. in the 1980 s. when poaching was decimating the black rhino population the family turned the land into a sanctuary today around 170 black rhino the live in the conservancy. they're protected by 123 rangers a pack of specially trained dogs and a high tech surveillance system most of the rangers are locals. but they were conservancy says that working closely with local communities is an effective strategy in the fight against poachers. community with the play a critical role in terms of conservation without putting them in board you're not tweeting in terms of cause of it and that's why now we're focusing in terms of putting a lot of programs outside the community so we can really win their community to get

a lot of information and at least they can be i thought an e.s.l. for us if the local people notice anything suspicious they reported to the ranger purity one more you she grew up here and knows almost everybody in the area there's no fight just at the moment i was the last to be right wasn't played in 20 tell these conservancy means everything to me. the little wildlife conservancy invests about 7 percent of its earnings in programs benefiting local communities. owns a small farm but for many years lacked financial resources but in 2017 conservancy program helped to secure a micro credit. card i did a lot with the money. i bought c.d.'s to plant and i also bought 2 pigs. there are many benefits for example they bring in trainers who teach us about many

issues that have to do with health and how we can help ourselves as women. 1800 women have so far received microcredit there are also classes on business the environment and practical skills previously women are. so bad that they have become to be found at the meet. we link up with maybe specially is the can of us expect to be less so but is from us going to benefit the best in the later taken. and producing for. the programs have helped improve the standard of living in neighboring communities . working closely with the local government the conservancy supports for clinics

and runs one of its own local people receive free medical care including medicine and vaccines. setting up these clinics to provide much needed primary healthcare i was says to communities that leaves are in the consequence each month. $800.00 people the efforts made by the labor wildlife conservancy not only to protect wild animals but also to support local communities have found international recognition since 2014 it's been included in the prestigious i.u.c.n. green list of protected areas. the seal of approval is a huge boost to the project. it helps us in terms of marketing strategies it helps helps us in terms of fund raising i do to help so that you can be

a model. to emulate for others to come on line from what we have been yet it's not for the it's for the stage it's for the global head it is for the community heavy teach. the labor wildlife conservancy shows that protecting wildlife is compatible with the needs of local communities with the right strategies both can flourish side by side. what a great initiative hopefully it will inspire you and others to take responsibility on the environment to we not come to the end of this week's episode of equal africa and we look forward to having your company again next week i am somebody no good signing off from compiler in uganda by sandra in the meantime you can stay in touch with us on social media is to grow free to. stay safe.

and see you see chris celebs side in a. large area. the food. is.

from politics to fashion from calzaghe to top this is where they are. welcome to the 77 percent. this weekend on g.w. . new. life on earth but also coming to an end. a gigantic coincidence. that previously the earth was just a mess the chemistry lab about mission. where the improbable cut cut to the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery there is a little. what if earth. starts feb 11th on t w. this is

a 15 year old girl. being gang raped. his teacher is beating a boy for talking back and class. but the rest of the class watches. and here is a toddler is being killed by his mother. breaking at last. the child sleeps in the streets because her family through her. fear. online bullying. pushes a teenager over the edge. just because you can see violence against children doesn't mean others and there are the invisible visible of us might violence against children disappear.
