w o you say it is good to know. i'm sure that we didn't know what came in the me the welcome to these new edition of environmental show equal africa. i am sandra to no view here in compiler. uganda. not much of it will cause people to endangered species 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,
6:31 pm
trying to do just that more shortly. but 1st a be hello to view it from the here in lagos, nigeria is good to have you with us. have a look at some of the topics on the program will meet jeron positive is to work at hawk reviews, poacher illegals animal topic, and see how you're in germany, kenya makes function. the dogs from let's look here how to use social instruction was helping to ensure a clean supply of water up children. and you can pull chain and the legal trade in endangered species are a huge global business targeting everything from right. those to exotic reptiles and pan collins around half of all seizures of puddle in skills worldwide in 2019 could be traced back to nigeria. but it's that fact is meant people resort to
6:32 pm
hunting wild animals in order to provide for their families. and not just here, but in a number of african countries. the got enough with keen red captured the hunters walk off with a blunder. these young men regularly go out hunting with the dogs to sell what they catch at the local market and use the money to support their families. there's nothing unusual here. my dear young people knows that the restrictions on huntin rarely enforced, but mark wants to reduce the loss of wildlife that has been coming to this rural area for the past 5 years. and the men here have an arrangement was founded on mutual trust. local treat most of them free of charge and in return because i try
6:33 pm
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 use that for them usually to live in today, but the summer on the get them on the call me today. they have a young tangle in for the event. it's a valuable fines that will get them good money on the black market. but they've decided to give it to mark of want instead will form if we give mark the animals because he always helps us. but 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. i'm on his chest on a tree or fall into a trap that we set for the animal. and that can injure them. what is your issue about? so once we tell mark, did he take care of the dog intel? it recovered while after the full hour round trip prevent heads
6:34 pm
to his surgery on the edge of lagos. vest examines the young animal in china, penguins scales are thought to have healing properties and the meat is prized as delicacy as your plays a key role in illegal trafficking. 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 vet finances efferson with his own money. the snake recently underwent an operation. mark o 4 has no fear of the reptiles which has earned him the nickname, the snake man of li. gus is one of the few conservationists in jerry are openly fighting against the trade in wild animals. it often feels like a losing battle. i know i cannot relate. i know i can rest of my orders. i know i
6:35 pm
have to sell more. i know i had to do more. i knew i had to push more. i know i have to see more animals. the local markets and the outskirts of leg us of are a huge range of exotic animals. mark, says officials hardly ever check on what has been sold. he tries to explain to the traitors, impact that the legal sales have on local wildlife bush me sells well here. abandoned like this is worth $20.00. there are monkeys, large lizards and small crocodiles and texas is sold both dead. * and alive, the traitors remain on the ted. i have been able to convince them, but when you get these babies, this should not kill them. they should not throw them away. this will call me and i'll comment ticket up there. but it's not just
6:36 pm
a trade in bush meets and illegal traffic in that's impacting bio diversity. desmond, magical to me, is one of the best known environmental activists in our area. it says 95 percent of a 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 entered one of the fastest extinction rich 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, why believes every animal counts when those and this can have recovered, releases them into a wildlife park or somewhere deep in the jungle for marco, for the sight of an animal back in its natural habitat, is the greatest reward possible.
6:37 pm
rescuing animals are releasing them back into the wild helps to protect and then just dishes was us. we've seen it requires a long term commitment and education. that is right crease, which is why is scientists are also exploring other cultural washer methods to resolve species on the hub even to bring back some that have already died out. can you imagine the long last dodo reappearing again? or the will in mama 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,
6:38 pm
endangered species to slow down the rate of biodiversity laws and even improve entire ecosystems. in one word, it's just wow. and obviously we want to say of a species that we can 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. the, with the whole 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 populations
6:39 pm
of wild shrivels keys horses. so how is a clone, which is an exact genetic copy of another animal supposed to bring back biodiversity all 2000 shrivels keys, horses alive today have defended from only 12 wild ancestors cyclone curt researchers used to unique gene that was frozen years ago. other might than last from the pool that they used to domestic or 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 skin sample. researchers impregnated over 200 domestic goats only 70 can pregnant. one needed to term the baby died minutes after it was born. less than one percent of wound clones ever survive,
6:40 pm
and the lack of research and access to wild animal makes the entire process especially difficult. with curt, 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 been novak one of the scientists who clone 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
6:41 pm
strength of the 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. bio diversity of loss is an extension threat we face since the 1970 species populations have declined by around 60 percent. today, we could be moving up to $150.00 species each day. geneticists around the world have taken notice and are collecting and preserving whatever genetic material they can in lamps, zeus and gene banks. tomorrow was too late. i mean, today is too late for many species. i'm sure. so, i mean, starting the dna is like a last resort before they're gone. so at least we have the genetic heritage.
6:42 pm
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 sues and research institutions around the world are working on assisted reproduction of wild animals, including 4 projects devoted specifically to cloning for conservation. the race to conserve genetic diversity is on and cloning may well save some species, but with costs and long term effect, still unknown. conservationists say it's much more sensible to focus on protecting the biodiversity we still have but until the move gen, when the 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
6:43 pm
industrialized emissions, not them are sold or given away. in fact, a high proportion ends up on landfills or incinerators, dont be a more eco friendly option. uh huh. rosen rose a printed fabric when textile companies in europe dropped designs from their product lines. the material is discarded, burned or exported to africa where it ends up in places like this. open market in none. yuki in northern kenya for fashion, innovator, sidney amaica. it's a gold mine dispatch and is to give new purpose to the rejected kurt and fabric maker takes the coffee, buys to a local tailoring studio. they're his fashioned designs are made into sustainable clothing for environmentally aware clients. people who are asking questions,
6:44 pm
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 always make the creations don't come cheap. a suit cost, nearly $400.00 euros a jack and half the price is that only tourists can you can afford or western customers that visit is online shop. but you could logically mind a discerning shoppers and make his fabric up. cycling ideas is both smart and sustainable. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about his visit our website, send us the tweaks the hash tag doing the open we shall yours to raise hers. they say you are what you will include, what you put on your fits most of the 20000000000 shoes produce every year,
6:45 pm
a made of lead or think betsy terriers, which will have a sizable environment of food. free leather production involves the killing of an estimated 1000000000 animals. us synthetic materials tend to off of very low risk by rate making them long term. but they're also issues been made from natural resources such as plants and even harder much areas. these she's done with stone, with flexible slate use here, typically made from leather state, along with sustainable luxury brands from munich. sebastian teas, this web runs found his family has been in the industry for 6 generations. but even for him,
6:46 pm
working with stone was one of the middle and hundreds of millions of years old. all natural and each pair is unique patient because in technically speaking, it isn't superior to leather because some of the shoes are a bit less robust. so you shouldn't wear them in siberia at minus 40 degrees celsius, but they're perfect for normal day to day purposes. and the process that's making flexible enough. the shoemaking starts with huge blocks of marble or slink using a special technique. very thin slaps the sold off, which are then glued onto flexible material. the method was invented by berlin based company rocks, lynn, who's the best in teeth, work with the sinus iceman. the money and the stone becomes flexible. if you make it very, very thin. i mean, we're talking less than one millimeter thing and then combine it with something stabilizing them on before then, we should treat that can be fiberglass, or cotton fleas on both muscle either will stabilize the slice of stone and hold
6:47 pm
together the stone particles, even when the slab gets back on the stone, you stand 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 staged. next to shoes. there are also stone belts, sunglasses, and banks. but there are limits of the usability, the 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 breed ability in 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 math market. to back in peace has been looking for an issue. again again, he had tested using unusual materials for she's like,
6:48 pm
never made from 10 to fungus. a tree parasite door from the area and all that, all thing. coffee would fish skin have all been tested as potential sneak materials. my father developed the 1st pair of compost apple shoes back in the ninety's if it's so natural material, have always been a big topic for team now a days so much more is changing because people are more aware and that of course leads to more innovation in this area that's the one in the natural rather vegetable tend never talk in so even less prominent parts of tease issues are mostly natural on this not as a stain ability is a must for us and not just the way the media is propagating that term. now, the bottom line for us is that if it isn't sustainable, you can't call it a quality more luxury product is kind. now,
6:49 pm
it seems the best in keys. we'll keep walking the initiative line in his shoes made with stone. 10 years ago, the united nations declared access to clean water and sanitation is a fundamental human rights. but in many parts of the world gets in slave drinking water. still, it was simply a matter of according to the un over 2000000000 people are still lacking. those basic facilities, that's a truly shocking figure crease on. in many cases the water people do have access to quantum method. if he's a problem, seeing here in uganda, but also other parts of africa. what we need is a simple and sustainable solution. oh, this is the knuckle valley refugee settlement in western uganda. 130000 people live
6:50 pm
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 dina, 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 we would 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,
6:51 pm
but there's another way to provide space, clean drinking water. so to be room g and henry, a cno 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. supply is enough water for about 900 people out of 830000 in the settlement. but it's still, let's start with that, but is through our field that you know from the lake, you can see the already know what that from the lake and then after you press it through the filter, this is there is out that we get out of the wounds you lost a brother to colorado. he drank contaminated water, access to clean water is the human right to sufficient aims to deliver what the state fails to provide. it also developed a small water filter for home use. use is grenade
6:52 pm
to purify their water. we have 2 buckets, the bucket contains the granite and then the la bucket is a reason for this fit for them. so they were down, they took bucket and then the whole filtration had been in the granite on the water. and i can get through the granite and only see what that goes 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 isn't treat. 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
6:53 pm
drinking water in their homes. we can also go entry as a people or also make these what are fuels and then so them and then extra income for them. so child to be who and henry of the a know 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. let's also use a safe hasn't have anything so has told me a lot cause i'm no longer suffering will pay for you don't even suffer. we pay for it. and i don't even go to school to sufficient. quantify the impact that use of it . filters have on the environment in terms of trees protected and c o 2 emissions the may. yeah. we serve must be over at least $240000.00. so about new york said for each field trip that was planned whenever to sufficient installs
6:54 pm
a large filter system in a school. the teen plants marine ga 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 felled, we need to begin writing these ideas over protecting the environment into the minds of the people why they're still young. they tradition in the event and min african countries is that you've got to dream to unify what we want to change that tradition. knock ivana, dean and i've been to, had since acquired and started using a water filter. she put it together herself. my, you know,
6:55 pm
the voices from the filter is clean and usable. i'm very surprised that this is the same also, which was originally dirty cows and people had contaminated this mind. 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 great idea. hopefully it will inspire others, of course, africa to launch similar initiatives for the sake of people and the environment. do not forget that to me again, next week for another exciting edition of africa. it is a goodbye for me under tween over you here in compiler, uganda. by sandra in the meantime, you can stay in touch with those on social media. is the brom treat them facebook? stay safe, be mindful of others and see you soon. i am chris lamps signing up from lagos,
