here in uganda bots i don't know said law and i am with my co-host create a lens hello chris. i sound draw a big hello to all of us from me in lagos nigeria it's good to have you with us for another edition of vironment show with a focus on africa here are some topics coming up today. why biker plus leagues in the world oceans are making i'll see. you venture that's fucking up south africa's beaches. and punish all of these things and some leads to a dream she gets captured. but 1st we head to west and offer with some goods from you rope like to spend the winter now millions of them migrate to senegal mauritania and for the south the landlocked walk in a fossil while the hobby to its increasingly on the threat from intensive farming steal a number of calls ovation they stood doing what they can to ensure migratory birds

can still find a way to home in sub-saharan africa. with. the fruits of the kodiak trees. tamari needs and a good place for reminisced. divided davis off season couple returning national park in south and booking a fossil was favorable even conditions for many species of buds. nevertheless bought conservationists are concerned migratory bugs from western europe such as the kingfisher becoming increasingly rare. the woman was. solid 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 the b. to ration or the nature of the hobby to fill that are not true. just

a few kilometers away from the conservation area they gave us it is a thing of the past only shear trees as far as the eye can see they 1st met its industry task which she is driving up and farmers like a nice nano up profiting from meat book in a fossil is the one second biggest exporter of shia mosques which are used to make cooking oil and skin products well the idea of going to china is very profitable for us sometimes they sell mots but they are more with the bottom line. but awareness is leading to a shift in practices now the farmers are starting to restrict that is to a diversity and that begins with creating healthy sort of in a do much fun walks for a dutch engine which is concerned with the survival of migratory birds to farmers how to make compost from biological west including cow dung on easy as the compost is to place official photo lies as which keep insects an important food source for

the bugs. particular pornographer regarded as well to serve our garden is the protection of drugs but unless the pharmacy direct financial benefits they aren't interested that's why we walk to include business aspects in the project. business to preserve. nace former franken money has already been up for the 1st time for some time with 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. there in geo convinced him that it'll be better to live through this time being in his food he now knows that in heavy rains the topsoil doesn't wash away so easily the roots of the commons fruit tree hold this so he will. i want to send a water carrier not under the rose up out of water for my mom i used to remove all

the wishes and young trees on my fields now i practice what is called assisted natural restore ration it's simple you cut back week branches to help the stronger ones grow quickly into a tree then it can flower for bees and other insects we tracked by about. all whole line up with and of all babbling a huge movies modern. that's the idea behind a tree or a freak marx complained to teach farmers about keeping b. she'll farm out denise nano also an extra money from the advantage she already has a big heaping experiences but she's happy to have a fresher. how does one use a small car to come these home when is it time to harvest the honey nearly 30000 farmers have had training in the last year. and a printer object to fly fast objective is on an environmental level and it's to create

biodiversity because the bees pollinate fruit trees and trees in general so this pollination will help the trees and in particular it will help me she had to look at it to. see i notice that the shia tree produced more fruit and constance from pollination i'm really happy to have the blues is the one. although people will continue to plant she'll trees in the future they're more likely to leave other trees time to nurse will allowing more nature to develop and thrive. it's a prediction we keep hearing the shocking every time experts have calculated that by 2050 plus tick in the oceans will outweigh 1st that is correct to create it is a horrifying 1st picked on as if the effects of luck to get great on marine life weren't bad enough some are thought to simply take a look at him. 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 reading and drinking water and eating fish the oceans and rivers in particular are full of micro plastics 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 way things are 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 for now i'm 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 does 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 are 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 producing more and more plastic not managing the waste very well eventually we reach a level where off my shoulder 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 overly 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 our world it is done for the animals and for us but i'm scared we won't be getting rid of the anytime soon maybe there are loads of people coming up with trusting solutions to talk of the problem one of them comes from sapulpa and it is a pretty cool idea it has a rich in a way of getting rid of the micro plastics what away you are on beaches. not. there's nothing in this nose who can't go is a lot no item of plastic can escape the jaws of this giant vacuum team that crisscross is using what's called the enviro buggy to collect rubbish littering 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 may need be cheese 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 seed system separates the sun from the past then with a 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 best came about trying to make that marker plaster collection a lot more efficient and quicker process 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 i tunes interest cyclable material 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 purpose 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 del gamma responded to see resolved nets with different sizes to catch plastic along waterways before it gets to the ocean. peter ryan a married mastic 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 waste on land getting into

waste water systems are being carried down into the sea and initiatives like this where we're actually intercepting this letter before it gets into the sea or starting to make a significant difference. for the north in the townships outside johannesburg these volunteers are unemployed locals they would move in plastic wastes from the little traps positioned in the head office with a. good man in charge explains that mountains of plastic that accumulates in the space of just seem to. be stuck with their mates in the beginning of the rainy season dry and stock exchange and the launch and its impact in the winter a lot of stuff gets put up dumps downstream to stop sort of the stuff that's washed on rains so it keeps on the whole summer but even if it were stuck it's beginnings of trying to stop it. not only is the engineer working to be the head. nopes of

waste 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 a 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'll try to stop that spread 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 but it's going already to the work of about 30 people the plan is to start mass producing the machine and ultimately return south africa's beaches to the once pristine condition. wow those images remind us that we

really need to keep up with the fine i think that's the question we all tend to throw we have too much stuff that can actually be a sign. you are absolutely right sandra and carlos silva from cape verde to 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 silver makes using vegetable oils green clay flour and other ingredients. he tries to source most of the ingredients locally. and was only. 8 years ago i started out producing so from. cooking oil. over it could be used to

wash dishes and then later i began making this eco soap for people to use in the shower. silva's desire to help the environment motivated the move to producing ecologically sustainable cosmetic products. who knows everything we use ends up in the sewer which will then contaminate the rivers oceans and ground water. that has now automated parts of the production process. even the machines he uses are made from recycled materials. he can now produce more bars in much less time. than have been used to take me 8 hours to make a batch now it's only 3 a lot of the steps are all automated now. carlos silva hopes to sell his terra vader soap on the international markets soon.

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 story. on the report comes from spain there lorenza manuel to run creates delicate sculptures that combined his 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 business of thoughts that expresses love of nature i'll sit back and let yourself be 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 on and. he kept them into leaves harvested from trees and bushes. for. one month when i go into the forest even more than anything i'm looking for peace and quiet. this is where my creativity really gets flowing in the movie on a game which really. inspiring money where do it on go searching through the forests of his home province guadalajara for just the right. foot on 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. their own presses the fresh leaves and lets them dry for a few days. the leaves have to be dry enough that cuts don't smear 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 the scalpel cut by cut. and 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 little horse . over time i learned more and more and developed my own technique meeting. depending on the design it can take lawrence i did on several days to finish the

cutting interest they almost made it to work. for him his has been a journey of self-expression. is assumed one side of belief is turned to the light. in the other stays in shape you know they're not there's a similarity there to us humans on the. 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. his words are 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 are 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 transfer tree. there is no mistake about seat nature's beauty has to be preserved which is also the theme of the next report that comes from kenya except it creates it is about the results of looking after better now. the know what. you need to best approach to. paying. 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 is playing a critical role in terms of conservation with putting them in board you're not

winning in terms of cost of vision and that's why now we're focusing in terms of putting a lot of programs outside the community so we can really win the community to get a lot of information and teeth they can to be i thought and yes of us if the local people notice anything suspicious they reported to the ranger purity well more you she grew up here and knows almost everybody in the area there's nobody out fight just at the moment i was the last to be right wasn't played in 20 tells these concepts means everything to me. the little wildlife conservancy invests about 7 percent of its earnings in programs benefiting local communities. pauline karumba who owns a small farm but for many years lacked financial resources but in 2017 conservancy program helped her secure a micro credit. card where 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 have been. so bad that they have come to. meet you do trainings we link up with maybe specially is taken across expect to be less so but is from us going to benefit a bit. taken. and could be seen for. the

programmes have helped improve the standard of living in neighboring communities. working closely with the local government to 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 says to communities that leave the consultancy monthly to. $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 fundraising i have to help so that you can be a model. to emulate for others to come on line from us what we have been yeah it's not for low it's for the stage it's for the global head it is for the community haiti teaching. 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 you know get signed up from compiler in uganda by sandra in the meantime you can stay in

touch with us on social media is to grow. stay safe. and see you soon chris celebs signing off from lagos nigeria.
