as now, i want to reach out to those woman back home for balance by their social rules and inform them about that basic rights. my name is david, and i work at the i love the me the welcome to these new edition of environmental sho equal africa. i am sandra to be here in compiler. uganda. now imagine if it will cause people to endanger the fishes with the help of fans or even bring extinct animals back to life. wouldn't that be wonderful? greece? indeed, it would be sandra, there are people rated,

trying to do just that more shortly. but 1st a be hello to abuse from the here in lagos, nigeria is good to have you with us. here is a look at some of the topics on the program i will meet in jury octave is working hard to use poacher and illegals animal topic. and see how you're in germany, kenya. nate, fashionable dogs from. let's look here how to use social tripping as helping to ensure a clean supply of water up for the school children. you can pull chain and the legal trade in endangered species are a huge global business targeting everything from rhinos to exotic reptiles and pan glens, around half of all seizures of puzzle in skills worldwide in 2019 could be traced back to knowledge area. but it's that fact is many will resort to hunting wild

animals in order to provide for their families and not just here, but in a number of african countries. the set it off with kayden red captioned, the hunters walk off with a blunder. these young men regularly go out hunting with their dogs to sell what they catch at the local market and use the money to support their families. there's nothing unusual here niger area. young people knows that the restrictions on hunting, rarely enforced, but mark of law wants to reduce the loss of wild life. the vent has been coming to this rural area for the past 5 years. he and the men here have an arrangement founded on mutual trust, local trip animals for them, free of charge,

and in return because i try not to exchange money as much as possible in return when they get, when it cut an animal. for example, the animal has baby that they can eat those. maybe it's useless for them usually to live in today. but this them are on the give them and they call me today. they have a young tangle in for the vet. it's a valuable find stucco. get them good money on the black market, but they've decided to give it to mock of law instead, a little phone with our marking. yeah, we give mark the animals because he always helps us. but. busy if it weren't for him, we would have lost most of our dogs by now, because of the kind of work our dogs do. sometimes they'll be running my normal hit, his chest on a tree or fall into a trap that we set for the animal. and that can injure them with your about. so once we tell mark, did he take care of the dog until it recovered much while after the full

hour round trip doesn't head to his surgery. on the edge of lagos, it rest examines the young animal in china, platinum, and scales of thoughts to have healing properties. and they meet his prize as delicacy as you replace a key role in illegal traffic in with this model in africa. the small patient doesn't appear to be injured, but it will stay in force care until it regains its strength. it will needs special milk to get through the next few months. the vets finances efferson with his own money. the snake recently underwent an operation. mark o 4 has no fear of the reptiles which has found him the nickname, the snake man of li gus is one of the few conservationists in jury are openly fighting against the trade in wild animals. it often feels like lives in battle. i

know i can relate, i know i can the rest of my order. i know i helped shalt more. i knew i had to do more. i knew i had to push more. i know i have to see more animal. the local markets in the outskirts of leg over a huge range of exotic animals. mark of loss says officials hardly ever check on what has been sold. he tries to explain to the trade is impact that the legal sales have on local wildlife bushman sales. well here, append like this is worth $20.00. there are monkeys large lizards and small crocodiles and turtles as the sold both dead. * and alive, the traders remain on the ted i have been able to convince them when you get these babies, this will not kill them. they should not throw them away. this will call me and i'll comment ticket of that. but it's not just

a trade in bush medes and illegal traffic in that impact and biodiversity. desmond, magical to me, is one of the best known environmental activists in our area. it says 95 percent of countries forest has disappeared. and with it's a huge ecosystem that is now last forever. the scientists are very, very clear about it. we've answered one of the fastest extinction rates ever known to this planet, definitely ever known to mankind. and where on rumbling the very web of life. because each of these creatures, each of these animals, they have a role to play. that's why mark of law believes every animal counts. when those in his care have recovered, releases them into a wildlife park or somewhere deep in the jungle. for mock over the size of an animal back in its natural habitat is the greatest reward possible

rescue in animals are releasing them back into the wild health to protect and this is what we've seen. it requires a long term commitment and education that is right crease, which is why is that is also exploring other cultural washer methods to resolve species and perhaps even to bring back some that have already died out. can you imagine the long last dodo reappearing again? or the woolly momma is not even a real possibility. let's find out. meet kurt, who's technically been dead for 22 years. you may have guessed it. kurt is a clone. and he's the 1st wild horse ever successfully cloned which makes him quite a big deal. and he wasn't just an experiment. scientists are now cloning,

endangered species to slow down the rate of biodiversity and loss, and even improve entire ecosystems. in one word, it's just wow. and obviously we want to say the species that we can. mm. but how exactly would that work? and how realistic is that? welcome to the very weird world of wild clones, gene banks, and bringing species back from the after life with the loaning has been controversial around the world with legitimate concerns about us playing god or creating endless copies of species that wipe out biodiversity. but kurtz purpose is the exact opposite to bring diversity back to his population

of wild shrivels his horses. so how is a clone which is an exact genetic copy of another animal supposed to bring back to bio diversity. all 2000 shrivels keys, horses alive today have defended from only 12 wild ancestors cyclone current research with used to unique gene that was frozen years ago. why don't other my than last from the school, but they used to domestic course surrogate mother. kurt is not the 1st endangered species to be cloned. there's even been a clone of an extinct species, but with limited success. the purity and ibex was clone 3 years after when extinct using an old frozen skim sample. researchers impregnated over 200 domestic goats. only 7 became pregnant, one needed to term, but the baby died minutes after it was born. less than one percent of wild clones

ever survive. and the lack of research and access to wild animals makes the entire process especially difficult. with current looking healthy scientists, tope, he will be the 1st clone to directly increase the genetic diversity of a population in the wild. no longer reacting to crisis. but we're getting out and being preventative. that's then know back one of the scientists who cloned curse and has been pushing the idea of cloning for conservation. the idea behind it is that we can use cloning in multiple ways to help endangered species, either by increasing the size of their populations or by using it strategically to maintain genetic diversity. let's take a closer look at that. increasing population numbers can help species recover, but scientists only have a limited gene pool to choose from. but the method being used here is to add to the

strength of the genetic pool by bringing back genes that would have otherwise died out. this could make population more resistant to the effects of inbreeding and disease, and even make them better at adapting to climate change. biodiversity of law is an extension threat we face. since the 1970 species populations have declined by around 60 percent. today, we could be losing up to $150.00 species each day. geneticists around the world have taken notice and are collecting and preserving whatever genetic material they can and lamps, zeus and g banks. tomorrow is too late. i mean, today is too late for many species. i'm sure. so, i mean, starring the dna is like a last resort before they're gone. so at least we have the genetic heritage.

ad lewis co founded a british gene bank run by public universities, museums and zoos. their consortium has collected over 40000 samples so far over 1000 zoos and research institutions around the world are working on assisted reproduction of wild animals, including 4 projects devoted specifically to clothing for conservation. the race to conserve genetic diversity is on and cloning may well save some species, but with costs and long term effects, still unknown. conservation is a much more sensible to focus on protecting the bio diversity we still have but until the move generally may benefit nature. it is best to stick to conventional solutions. what about, for example, giving a 2nd life to the tons of used clothing and textiles,

central africa by the industrialized emissions? not all of them are given a weight. in fact, a high proportion ends up on landfills or in incinerators, dont be a more eco friendly option. ah, yeah. rosen rose and printed fabric. when textile companies in europe dropped designs from their product lines, the material is discarded, burned or supported to africa, where it ends up in places like this. open markets in none yuki in northern kenya for fashion, innovator, sidney amaica. it's a gold mine is patch and is to give new purpose to the rejected curtain fabric i make there takes the coffee, buys to a local tailoring studio. there his fashion designs are made into sustainable clothing for environmentally aware clients. people who are asking questions,

people who want to wear something that has a story behind it. and people who know already a little bit more about about the fashion industry about the text, the ways makers, creations don't come cheap, a suit cost, nearly $400.00 euros a jack. and half that price is that only tourists can you can afford or western customers that visit his online shop. but for ecological minded, discerning shoppers makers, fabric up cycling ideas is both smart and sustainable. and how about you? if you are also doing your best, tell us about visit our website. oh, send us the tweets hash tag doing you oh, we share yours to raise hers. they say you are what you when i'm bought, think lose what you put on your fits. most of the 20000000000 is produced every

year, a made of lever or think fact take much stereos, which will have a sizable environment to put free. leather production involves the killing of an estimated 1000000000 animals. synthetic materials tend to up very low risk rate, making them long term for you. but there are also issues been made from natural resources such as plants and even harder much areas. these shoes are made with stone, with flexible slate use here for parts typically made from leather. they belong to the sustainable luxury brand is not seen from munich. the baskin teas this where brandon's found, his family has been in the shoe industry for 6 generations. but even for him, working with stone was one of the middle and yadda,

hundreds of millions of years old. all natural in each pair is a patient, because technically speaking, it isn't superior to leather because some of the shoes are a bit less robust. so you shouldn't wear them and siberia at minus 40 degrees celsius, but they're perfect for normal day to day purposes. and the process of making flexible enough, the shoemaking starts with huge blocks of marble or slate using a special technique. very thin, slap this one off, which i then glued onto a flexible material. the method was invented by berlin based company volt flynn, who sebastien peace works with flexibility. the style heisman, i include the money and the stone becomes flexible. if you make it very, very thin, we're talking less than one millimeter thing and then combine it with something, stabilizing them on this, then we should treat that can be fiberglass or cotton. please work muscle

either will stay below a slice of stone and hold together the stone particles, even when the slab gets been too long. then the stone is then exposed to heat and cold alternately to make it even more flexible. but that process isn't trademark secret. by the end, it can even be next to shoes. there are also stone belts, sunglasses and backs. but they're all limits that the usability lifestyle as, as when it comes to stone, t shirts, jackets and such, it gets complicated. we've experimented with those kinds of items, but other materials offer different readability and range of motion by under them. but it's also going to stay expensive and labor intense. so it will probably stay more nice than mass market. to back in tease has been looking for a nation again again, he had tested using unusual materials for she was never made from 10 to fungus,

a tree, parasite and tool from the very and all. but all thing, coffee would fish skin have all been tested as potential sneak materials. but i didn't know my father developed the 1st pair of compost, double shoes back in the ninety's. i said, so natural materials have always been a big topic for us to get now a days so much more is changing because people are more aware. and that, of course, leads to more innovation in this area, in the natural rather so actionable tend never talk in so even less prominent parts of tease issues are mostly natural on the not as a stain ability is a must for us. and not just the way the media is propagating that term now and woman. the bottom line for us is that if it isn't sustainable, you can't call it a quality more luxury product. it's kind medicine is not seems sebastian keys will

keep walking the inevitable line. and his shoes made with 710 years ago, the united nations declared access to clean water and sanitation is a fundamental human right. but in many parts of the world, gets in slave drinking water still is not simply a matter of turning on this up. according to the un, over 2000000000 people are still lacking those basic facilities. that's a truly shocking figure crease on in too many cases, the water people do have access to east continent. that is a problem thing here in uganda, but also other parts of africa. what we need is a simple and sustainable solution. oh, this is a knocking volley refugee settlement in western. you got 130000 people live here.

60 years ago, dean and i've been to fled the democratic republic of congo after rebels killed her husband. in knocking bonnie lake is the source of water also for drinking for livestock as well. but the water is full of germs. every year, 20000 children under the age of 5 die in uganda of dire real disease. one major reason is that they have no choice but to drink dirty water, heat kills germs. so dean and i've been to boil the water, she fetches from the lake, she has 5 children. and i think we boil drinking water using charcoal, and if we don't have it, we use firewood, otherwise to be drinking. very dirty water that comes at a cost to the environment to make charcoal trees are cut down. forest also had to be clear to make space for the settlement but there's another way to provide safe,

clean drinking water, south of the woozy and henry a run to sufficient. a social enterprise that makes automated low cost filters. this set up cost $1200.00. the money was donated by somebody in the united states. it supplies enough water for about 900 people out of 130000 in the settlement. but it's still, let's start with that, but is through our field that the, from the lake, you can see that they already know what that from the lake and then update it through the filter. this is, there is out that we get out of the wounds and lost a brother to colorado. he drank contaminated water, access to clean water is a human right to sufficient aims to deliver what the state fails to provide. it also developed a small water filter for home use use this grenade to

purify the water. we have 2 buckets. bit bucket contains the grenade and then the la bucket is there is about 4 bits therefore, so they put down the bucket. and then the whole filtration happens in the greenwich when the water and gone is skip through the granite and only see what that was into . the reason for that that shows people how to put together their own water filter. the granite needs to be cleaned every few months, then it can be reused, dean and have been to is intrigue. if you filter water this way, you no longer have to boil it or by charcoal, which means lower emissions and costs. and there's another advantage. every time we saw an institution filter, we train that women around the community to make sure that they have access to safe

drinking water in their homes. we can also go entry as a people or also make these wood fools as then sell them. an income for themselves shouted the rooms and henry of installed the 1st large filtering system using granite in central uganda in a school near the capital compiler. several 100 pupils now have access to clean water and fall sick. less often safe hasn't heard anything. so has told me a lot cause i'm no longer suffering will pay for you. don't even suffer say for you . then i don't even go to school to sufficient. has quantify the impact that use of its filters have on the environment in terms of trees protected, n c o. 2 emissions the lay. yeah. we serve mostly over at least $240.00 tons of new york said for each field loading at 3 separate land

whenever to sufficient installs a large filter system in a school. the teen plants marine trees with the pupils about a 1000 in all over the past 2 years in the marines as absorbed carbon dioxide at an amazingly high rate 20 times the rate of general vegetation but to sufficient aims to do more than just replace trees that have been filled we need to begin writing his ideas of protecting the environment into the main so that we provide that to the young tradition in the event and min african countries that you've got to treat to unify what we want to change that tradition. totally knock ivana dina and i've been to, had since acquired and started using a water filter. she put it together herself in my, you know,

the water from the to is clean and usable. you know, so i'm very surprised that this is the same motor, which was originally dirty cows and people had contaminated this young man thanks to the, to sufficient filter. she and her family stand a better chance of staying healthy with less effort and at lower cost. however dirty, the water in the lake continues to be what a good idea. hopefully it will inspire others of course, africa to launch similar initiatives for the sake of people and the environment. do not forget to new again, next week for another exciting edition of africa. it is a good buy from me, sandra to nobody here in compiler, uganda. by sandra in the meantime, you can stay in touch with those on social media, is to brom, treat them facebook. stay safe. be mindful of others and see you soon. i am chris lamps finding out from lagos, nigeria. oh,
