suit. dozens of signed up to the scheme her 1st experience of implementing the program was in the kwazulu-natal province in order to protect the land locals introduced a herd of cattle. the animals serve an important function keeping the grass short helps prevent wildfires in the dry season but it's just the start will slowly introduce game starting with the plains game which will be zebra springbok. valda beers and those type of animals and then once they are established slowly the cattle will be removed the animals will be free to run on the whole nature reserve . the tax rebates that candor stevens has been promoting have gone some way towards . addressing the shortage of funding for environmental protection in south africa.

and in the future she's hopeful of further progress in this development. it's an old problem farmers especially here in africa are all too familiar with predictors attack in their livestock and botswana conservation in children's dogs to guard farm animals they can be very good at it and that means farmers have less reason to hunt and kill more road in wildlife so a danger to species such as cheetah are also protected it looks like a win win situation. farmers in the west and was fun to have to be vigilant and cheetah could be knocking somewhere in the grass every family. lose around 2 percent of their livestock to predators. security fencing the figure

is even higher. than was i know some on fifty's and of course the. paranoid term. if you know the dealer but you can kill serving it on one. just kill. to protect of their lives stalk a many good hearted as shoot of poison predators but now some of them have started keeping dogs with their hearts to keep the big cast away. and their families give a local mixed breed dog which is well suited to the hash environment. then i stalk gardening good program is supported by the environmental going to his asian cheetah conservation persona as her who are training facility pony more display looks after parties and raises them to become part of the hard the dogs

then stay with the livestock day and night to protect them against threats. around. 60 to 60 dogs so far in this area. we intend to. raise more dogs and trying to help. foremost because of their livelihoods and in their hands on the other and. she tours in was 13 or 4 trained dogs protect a flock their presence and backing alone is often enough to keep predators at the. initiative like this part of a leisure strategy to keep livestock from being harmed by wild animals the conservation organization also conducts research micheline is the coordinator

she uses come into traps to learn more about cheaters and develop solutions for human wildlife conflict. the greatest numbers of cheaters can be found in soudan spots of africa these skilled predators can reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour making them the fastest land animals in the world. but these days their natural range is severely reduced the destruction of the habitat targeted killings by farmers and their hand from their fire has brought them to the brink of extinction predators suggested their form the top of an ecosystem make a connector of prey and control and trip prey of course also gives us education under control. since the guiding building programme was launched in 2015 many families houses talk to killing cheaters for jeffrey morrow the program

has been a success thanks stu his dogs he hasn't lost a single gorge in the last 5 years many species in africa still survive and coexist in the unprotected wildlife areas ensuring humans and animals can live side by side remains a challenge. things to conservation efforts research is estimated that today there are some 7000 cheetahs living in the wild and some of them all their lives to the dogs but watch over the floats in the. front but sought out to sandra's you've got into it since farmers there have set up a sit back can you tell us more about that sandra. if a concrete banks are an important resource for preserving the different strains and breeding new ones that are better suited to the changed conditions due to climate change we are going to pay a visit to a project run and stopped by

a woman. joy mugisha is explaining how to catch banana weevils. she's giving a training session to women farmers in western uganda. here she demonstrates another method put parts of a dead banana tree stump in front of the tree you're trying to protect and the weevils will be drawn to that instead. because it did destroy. the spring. so. my organism. joy has been trained by the organisation alliance biodiversity the n.g.o.s supports

food security projects with evidence based research especially for crops like bananas and beans some traditional bean varieties can no longer grow here the farmers say it's because of climate change the ngo has helped them to set up their own cooperative and develop a seed bank which now has more than 60 varieties of bean in stock. from here the. farm he. has. to have he or she has. the national seed bank of uganda provided the initial investment of seeds scientists made them available to the ngo. the researchers have given the farmers improved seeds of bean varieties. the cross-breeding to create these new strands

can take several years as scientists gloria tino explains it's defined. means maybe that. readers can access those materials and improve on them. or even so those traditional hold. traits. that we need for. the national seed bank estimates that every year uganda is losing around 10 percent of its biodiversity in plants that are important for agriculture and attrition like beans peanuts and wild rice so if it is very yes sure we each of those crops. have to have nothing because we won't be able to use that materials to engage in

the challenges that you have in the production systems in the country we're going to look after these resources is use a country that is in trouble for the future for joining has in the meantime set up her own seed bank for 4 years she's been setting aside part of her harvest perceives she's employed a number of women to help with the seed selection process she not only pays them but also passes on her beam growing knowledge they get money from this community. from this community. the farm oz. the idea of starting up community seed banks is catching on a total of 8 cooperatives in uganda have now joined the initiative. that's all for though we hope you fall into these stories is barry if you do something to protect the environment would love to hear about it you can get in touch with us on our
