never would have gone on a trip to the view that i would not have put myself and my parents are not intentional but it's a game of the do not do to flee of the word. love and thank you because that money available to them i have serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there but it might i'm going to. want to know their story the migrants terrified to reliable information from their grants. hello and welcome to another edition of africa i am sundered 3 no video 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 are looking forward to

reporting on more and more amazing projects and great ideas for protecting and improving the walls we all live it 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. because friendly transportation declared a jihad made in africa an example from kenya. popcorn and why it's not just for eating as scientists in germany will demonstrate. on to the next of course of a shift in south africa sparing young people to protect white if you like. but foster a wig heads to namibia more than 20 percent of the country is on the course of a shin management it is home to incredible variety over a rare and endangered species of animal including the. does the so-called cots need

a very specific kind of environment to breed can't unmaintained be aborted temperature when it gets very court the trouble is that they often leave me a rural communities and cause problems for people and their livestock now researchers hope for a way for farmers to drastically of course reduce their livestock losses without killing the beautiful big cards. with. a rare sighting of the chicest in the media. the country has the largest free range in population of cheaters in the world but according to recent research still numbers. here the population is threatened because it doesn't occur inside of national parks but on commercially used farm that there's obviously needs to conflict is the. livestock of the farms. teeters population numbers across

africa have dropped to less than $7000.00 worldwide as the a habitat is lost to farm land and house and cost russian portion and illegal trading cops pause a federal challenge and because to test attack livestock the also get killed by farmers. scientists from germany is life in its institute have found a way to reduce that conflict to spend more than a decade studying to test in namibia part of their study involves putting video collis on the animals and monitor indian movements the team not is that the cheetahs always return to 7 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 called a communication hops because territorial males they used these trees and also

the olders into region around so these territories are very stable they are always there and even if the territory hold us does appear die then the new will territory holders are all day exactly the same place this allows the scientists to identify areas where cheetahs congregate the them and vice the farmers not to put a life stock in those places it's about 10 percent of the area that is highly dangerous because concentrations of to cheat us is very high and about 90 per cent that is much less risky for their harras and their cattle. the farm is that i've moved cattle out of harms way now there was far fewer animals to the big cuts. this simple adjustment region. the

livestock losses by more than 80 percent and that solve the conflict for the farmers and for the truth is in many cases. reducing the conflict between humans and money mouse means more survivor and other benefits to these powerful pre-dates has helped keep the populations of animals under control thus preserving a mental pain india calendrical balance off. what incredible creatures and what a great idea to promote a peaceful coexistence between the well and the most and the humans on 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 company and the name suggests it trains disadvantaged rural people in the traditional skills of wildlife trucking. is it the sunny and.

a looking for this special friends in the dense bushland of the level of north of johannesburg. a group of rhinos is hidden somewhere here. this is their front 2 pens. and. spurs on the ground twisted twigs and droppings lead them to the animals. their professional tracking. systems they were doing this tracking. for meat for their with their hunting they do eat they did they try they studied and we have to carry on when they are 40 but in a different way because then they would do we need for food we do we need for that

for the well not too not too hot not to kill but to protect. track is play a critical role in keeping the animals in the reserves safe. south africa has nearly 80 percent of the world's rhino population and has been hardest hit by poaching but says 2014 thanks to strict security measures reserves have half dry no killings from 1200 animals to about 600 in 29000 to keep his animals safe conservation manager had a man manner does not only rely on devices. but then we do a lot of monitoring work especially. on conservation and species like. some of the big one 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 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. has to show his instructors he can track an antelope in the semi arid karoubi. it's a different one because even. in front of the. plant. a good tracker 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 long. hours. in the most annoyed to smallest ones who

and then you know what i do because the moniker i'm. everything the inside i was getting that motivation 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 young rural people from various african countries each year realizing that only a few traditional track has remained in southern africa onyx when you 1st started this school 10 years ago with the help of a private sponsor meanwhile the academy gets thousands of applications paid here. we are training trackers 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 94 percent of all graduates are employed and the track is on need it many iconic animals like crocodiles leopards and cheetahs we

main critically endangered. after a long day of working and learning in the felt the pupils returned to the boarding house was after. 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. page. well the one who'll be on the vonage overall boom in solar energy in 2018 accounted for 2 percent of one white and christie use each and its share is growing fast experts say solar and weeds are said to be the most sustainable sources of renewable energy in the solomon hemisphere the international renewable energy agency says that over the past because it costs for solar have dropped by 80 percent let us now go visit an energy provider that is building the biggest solar

power 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. 150 fishers 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. this solar park is the size of 225 soccer pitches facilities in europe tend to be

smaller because they compete with agriculture. 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. an entire 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. have become so affordable to install that they quickly pay for themselves. out. mugshots owns a house with a rooftop solar system 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 and parks as there are now to cover energy needs.

solar energy would then account for a quarter of the country's power i would push. back to germany's biggest solar park project 10 years ago the operating company with one of the biggest nuclear power producers in the country. thinks still run several coal fired plants but that will soon be a thing of the past. 39 interview in this new book these new energy sources will have to fill the gap they've become a central pillar in our portfolio. since 2012 we've seen growth in all new and renewable segments including wind both offshore and onshore as well as solar. these technologies will account for about half of our output by 2025 i mean. the solar panels just keep on coming day in day as.

talks of sustainable mobility tend to focus on the big cities in ways to reduce traffic congestion and pollution under false make life but you get any basis on protecting you and what if you get off because well it's not something that ought to be optical you know they since it was developed in taking. place handcuffs off in a way several 100 kilos and here in kenya's capital nairobi thanks alston's noise are another problem for day laborers. kenneth one times invention could make life easier it's an electric powered car that goes faster and can carry more event in a system that. is big. silbert judge where the motion picture which.

if you're looking to get more people below is equal to gender so leaving it up to you doesn't use full well it doesn't play well we'll see if you cook. dinner addition to sparing the environment the new vehicle can move it up to 7 kilometers an hour without using much manpower its ability to power itself is kinetic energy at its best and the big help for users. by you are working. and everything is put out of quiet then. came to achieve this squanto i developed electric rickshaw unlike noisy diesel cooktops this version rolls through nairobi almost silently and without emissions it also carries fine have instead of 3 people you want to diversify to. utilize what they cannot and emitted can be emitted to be in buses while we will be

able now all of it up one of their mid electric more beautiful company. on top of that it's produced sustainably since all components of electric vehicles come from the region. and taliban you know if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our web sites oh send us a tweet. hash tag doing you hoping. your still read. a lot of the things we use in our day to day life i made from oil wealth and also as you view was modelled on the fund for the environment itself seems from the cause of us to prosecuting your sins finding high. i love i just examples he's a terrible thing. the scientists are looking for alternatives and sometimes come up

with great ideas. there is a professor at mit drawing. the things we've got. this building is getting added thermal insulation and damp roofing 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 releases miniscule particles into the ground and our water supplies. this man has a plan to replace the plastic pollutant since 2008. poor and his team have been looking into an environmentally friendly alternative pop corn. similar to

polystyrene phone. consists of a mass of cavities filled with there are no. can see them when you piece of popcorn and examine it under the microscope. that's what makes it so light. like the mark the researcher 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 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 plan proceeding providing the bonding agent as opposed to synthetic chemicals this makes the material compostable and even suitable as animal fodder of the team are pioneers in the field. they also use a hot air gun to compare the thermal conductivity of polystyrene 5 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. you can cripple houses with the panels in the walls or on the facades. or you can also use them as insulation for solid building. the.

tiriel also performs better in the flammability test polystyrene burns up at a frightening speed immediately beginning to melt and release toxic gases. subjected to the same flame the panel of popcorn barely catches fire. the poor is happy to pass on the fruits of years of research on the material. 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 suddenly make our lives easier when the internal combustion engine was developed in the 19th century no one in the air pollution on serious health issues it will be later that is white many you know it is call me to the finding it will be a waste of pouring machines on. 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 the current drought has lasted months and the increasingly extreme weather threatens their livelihoods of local farmers especially those in the eastern part of the country or no quote could be attributed it's apparent that climate change is real and increasingly dangerous the farming seasons that people are used to are not longer predictable at times it trains where one expected drought well route instead of rams it's confusing you can just farm and have hope over having harvest and what even were initially and then when you

aren't paying a couple the etonian pitter is one family who has been fortunate during these hard times have filled me a roof so she's been able to pump sufficient water to her crops. but they do so needed to power the pumps is expensive and the exhaust that is a need to sends out contributes to a greenhouse effect the researchers and technology experts from a random start up developed a solar powered irrigation system thinking they had to the project was financed by a us aid organisation and they run the government they knew irrigation plants came at just the right time for 40 families from a comparative in the district that god made agriculture more difficult and the cost of renting the diesel pumps nearly consumed on his face. with his on was a 2 day science and we ended up spending much of what awnings on buying fuel while

using the fuel pump into narrators ira with 2 of the those little left for our livelihood now we have gotten great of all those expenses we only need to replace someone to water the plugs. of the kurdish just. due to the more affordable it again. promise cannot attend a larger areas of land and keep farming they used a much higher as a result. of what. i do call a hole i was only harvesting 50 kilograms of these into 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 focused on that solar powered irrigation system should be up and running in all party districts in the country by the end over $20000.00. this touch up the bills the solar irrigation system has also developed a system to measure the temperature and moisture of the site sensors 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 water their crops. the plants need to get. or what's being that's why we believe when they use this new technology to improve their production. and it does been tested to be a success new the pirates fizzer been doing. these pilot system is poa they saw that in a g a swim now the farmers know 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 war to horses. it looks like technological advances will be key to all future that is old for today's show thank you all for being with us hope to see you again next week we'll be back with more exciting stories about nature and of course
