they share private footage with us has been seen before. bactrim movie starts of people 20 on d w. one welcome to this week's episode of our environmental show off because i am sunda to be nobody here in company not uganda you don't know this show is a coproduction of chinese t.v. in nigeria in germany and t.v. here in uganda but i am most alone i am with my co-host priest and fellow priest i sound draw a big hello to all of us from the illegals large area it's good to have you with us

for another edition of our environment show with a focus on africa here are some topics coming up today. why microsoft leagues in the were explosions are beginning to see. you venture that's fucking up south africa's beaches. and a spanish audience to send some leaves from the dreams of kids top shows. but 1st we head to west and offer west songbirds from your rope like to spend the winter now millions of them migrate to senegal mauritania and for the south would landlocked walk in a fossil while the hobbit it's in prison early on the threat from intensive farming steal a number of calls a vision they stood doing what they can to ensure migratory birds can still find a way to home in sub-saharan africa.

the fruits of the kodiak trees. tom reeds and a good place for enhanced. the biodiversity of trees in kabul or a tommy national park in south and book in 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 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 their due to ration or the nature of the hobby to a large degree about still not true then there are. just a few kilometers away from the conservation area where they versity is a thing of the past only sheer trees as far as the eye can see there was no ticks

industry past which she is driving of land and farmers like a nice 9 are profiting from meat book in a fossil is the wall 2nd biggest exporter of sheer mass which i used to make cooking oil and skin products for the idea of the inner china is very profitable for us sometimes i sell mots but it on more with a bottle. but awareness is leading to a shift in practices now the form of the such interest to be destroyed the veracity and that begins with creating healthy sort of i'm a jew my son works for a dutch angels which is concerned with the survival of migratory birds he shows the farmers how to make compost from biological west including cow dung on easy as that is to place official photo lies as which keep insects an important food source for the bugs. or secure pornography regarded as one who said now gone 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. what the business reporters are. nice for mom franken nanny or radio the number of us are sometimes them about how can i save a lot of money every year on a patient 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 topsoil doesn't wash away so easily the roots of the comments would 3 hold the swing will. they want to send a water carrier not under their upper 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 help the stronger ones grow quickly into

a tree then it can flower for bees and other insects we trucked by. all holed up with and of all babbling on. more days more. that's the idea behind angel africa what's complained to teach farmers about keeping bees she'll farm out the nearest nano also an extra money for an activity she already has big plans for but is happy to have an fresher. how does one use a small car to come to these homes when is it time to harvest the honey nearly 30000 farmers have had training in the last year the soul. reaper nobility of life fast objective is on an environmental level 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 initiate

a tree look at it. this year i notice that the shia tree produced more fruit banks to a strong nation i'm really happy to have the gold is the one. although people will continue to plan shia trees in the future they're more likely to leave other 2 standing allowing more nature to develop and thrive. it's a prediction will keep here in the shocking ever time experts have calculated that by 2050 plus to the oceans well we fish that is correct please it is a qualifying 1st bit and as if the effect of the debris on marine life would but not the most artists in taking a look into that if the micro plastics could already be having on that one help let's take a look. what's on the menu. 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 the region pollution from plastic particles those plastic particles if you like a little time bombs waiting to break down smaller after brain 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 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. culture has already shown 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 where weeks levels where there are thresholds exceeded 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 body 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 bad for the animals and for us but i'm

scared we won't be getting rid of the anytime soon maybe again lots of people coming up will be trusting solutions to tackle the problem one of them comes from supply because and it is a pretty cool idea is that a regional way of getting rid of the micro plastics and what a way out on the cheap. there's nothing in this knows you can't. 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 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 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 seed system separates the sand from the plastic 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 the micro 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 follow us sort out various items 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 really used to raise 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 what's always before it gets to the ocean. peter ryan. a marine has decreased search at the university of cape town estimates that between 60 percent and 90 percent of marine plastic on the beaches there's a arrived via waterways like this one just standing here we can see all of this rubbish coming down the canal here this is a major source of letter that we're concerned about in an urban setting in south africa side poorly managed waste on land getting into waste water 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 or starting to make

a significant difference. for the north in the townships outside johannesburg these volunteers are on employed locals there removing plastic wastes from literature apps positioned in the hand ups river. to man in charge explains that mountains of plastic that accumulates in the space of just 2 weeks. to start with the mates in the beginning of the rainy season run stock exchange at the ranch and in fact in the winter a lot of stuff gets. put up dumps in downstream steps sort of stuff it's washed down rain sleet and so it keeps on the whole summer but it will stop its beginnings trying to stop it. not only is the engineer working to get the hang ups of waste is looking into some of the main contributors off the pollution and 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 leaching the bee cheese can be collected still even that is only a 1st step once we can teach them the dangers of many in plastics and they will think that they kill where they live and we'll try to stop that speed at the source so instead of. doing things on the road or outside on the beach will actually be allowed to dispose of everything properly. crisscrossed and his team currently operating the enviro body it's been already do the work of about 30 people the plan is to start producing the machine and ultimately return south africa's beaches to the once pristine condition. while those images remind us that when you move to keep up the fight against plastic what should we all tend to throw we

have too much stuff the can actually be the site. you are absolutely right sandra kahlil silva from cape verde. has come up with a clever way for using cooking. in case their day one entrepreneur is seeking to clean up the environment one bar of soap at a time. tear of their day is an ecological soap which carlos silva 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 when i started out producing so from cooking oil. could be used to wash dishes and then later i began making this eco soap for people to use in the. silvas desire to help the environment motivation the move to produce

an ecologically sustainable cosmetic products. everything we use ends up in the soup which will then contaminate the rivers oceans and groundwater. silver has now also measured parts of the production process. even the machines he uses. made from recycled materials. we can now produce more bars in much less time. but if used to take me 8 hours to make a batch now it's only 3 a lot of the steps are 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

forbes and dysart week. yesterday doing your bit. sharing your story. on this report comes from spain there lorenza mughal to run creates delicate sculptures that combine this pasha and for. that you also take walks and that's where the 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 a little selby's pyatt. they so much to discover in a single tiny leaf. these filigree most to pieces where handmade by spanish artist note i'm so money wasted on. he cut them into leaves harvested from

trees and bushes. from this thing. when i go into the forest more than anything he says i'm looking for peace and quiet. this is where my creativity really gets flowing doesn't move you in a guy much relieved. if you hear it in spring. go searching through the forests of his home province. for just the right. the perfect leaf doesn't exist. in nature and they've undergone a process of evolution. but it's precisely their imperfection that in my view makes them perfect. these works give

little hint of the time effort and dedication that's gone into them. as the fresh leaves and lets them drive for a few days. the leaves have to be dry enough that cuts. and yet most enough not to crumble. the image 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 he enjoys the almost minutes to work. for him his has been a journey of self-expression. now. there's

a scene with one side of a leaf is turned to the light. in the other stays in shade you know the 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 too are trying to train. there is no mistaking the artist bessie 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 rewards of looking better and. the way for example it takes a community based approach to call savation and paying go for both the local people and the local wildlife. the labor wildlife 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.

the land 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 communities play a critical role in terms of conservation with 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 of the community so we can really win the community to

get a lot of information and they're going to be i think. 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 now in the past right wasn't played in 20 tells these means everything to. the little while but 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 i did a lot with the money. i plant seeds 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. so that. they have come to. meet you do trainings we link up with maybe specially is the kind of us expect to be less so but is from us going to benefit the best they can. and produce for. the programs that help to 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 leaves are out of the consultancy monthly. $800.00 people the efforts made by the 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 to help us in terms of fundraising i have to hold that are going to be

a model. to emulate for others to come on line from us what we have been yeah it's not for the 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 you to inspire you and others to take responsibility on the environment to we not come to the end of this week's episode of africa and we look forward to having your company again next week i'm stomaching i'll get signed up from kampala in uganda. sandra in the meantime you can stay in touch with us on social media is to grow and stay safe. and

see you soon chris celebs signing off from lagos nigeria.
