6:31 pm
us today. as always, we have a great lineup of entrusting reports on ways to better protect the environment. so here is a quick look at some of the topics. awe inspiring, the next generation of conservationists in one them. let me be as rebounding, drop population, and why up to position is creating marine pollution is put to go. we start the sho in render with a topic that is relevant to many african countries. now how do you explain to the future generations that he ease a better to protect the animals other than hunt them all down? let his stuff as they read a long tradition of hunting in random. here is more in this story with
6:32 pm
what kind of monkeys i lease, what habitat do they need and what are the threats the fees on these youths belong to an environmental club? we teaches them about wild animals in the hopes they'll help protect species diversity and promote peaceful coexistence between people and their fellow creatures. the initiative founder and head arch money shim way, expects great things from the students. you have to protect the environment surrounding you. but as the, when you find the in any more in the community, you can advocate for it. don't keep the animals don't this tub or cut the trees. always think that when you are protecting the environment, trees, animals, you are protecting your sales of well about a new good national hon. that is a treasure, tuneful biological diversity. the 1068 plant species have been counted here, and many of those grasses and trees and found in any of the forests or parks in
6:33 pm
rwanda. but is not just the greenery that's unique. the park is home to $322.00 species of birds and making it a great spot for bird watching twice a month in many shim way, and his group explore the national park, hoping to encounter some of its 75 species of domestic mammals. like chimpanzees or rare owl faced monkeys, but at school they learn more about what they've seen. this project is part of marijuana and government initiative that move in the you guys you the members over the middle of the glove, were the feet of discomfort? would you move that teaching you educating you in the hub? bang you taking a stick, tulsa, that is the promise over the future. the people take their mission seriously.
6:34 pm
they're assuming responsibility for the environment by preserving its plants and animals. gone. bo, our mandate, and these environmental clubs is to be right on the front line for environmental protection. now, when the one that it's on acceptable for people who am their varman to be left to their own devices, they must be shown the right way of reporter to the authorities. if they refuse to change your attitude, aka about that, it requires that you with more than $400.00 people per square kilometer rwanda's, population density is very high. so folks keep encroaching on nature with disastrous results or species diversity. the partial settlement of aka gara national park has led to the disappearance of many lions and rhinos. so the government wants to sensitize people to the environment, and not just school kids under a full, we cannot avoid,
6:35 pm
involving those who have all to school from a to avoid involving those who stopped . as kudos to attend to a jetta, timothy rosalie, to incorporate them into this fight. so on weekends, school groups visit villages to spread their message. careful, wild animals don't set traps or chopped down trees. often they propose a treat. villagers can receive farm animals in exchange for giving up hunting. because like young marie viani, haben, merely many here. well, once a hotel arrive, when they do come on as i used to hunt antelope and eat them with my family with. but through this awareness andy opportunities offered to was, i've stopped watching since we've been given domestic animals. this no need to hunt in the park. i think the units move on to the next village. more than 60 people in
6:36 pm
the area around noon gainey national park have given up poaching some now raised livestock instead. i'm others i employed by the project. the work with trees whose leaves are used in traditional medicine and learn how to build terraces to stop erosion. the ridges outlook is improving, says ons, the machinery, partly thanks to the environmental clubs. there is a very huge change in terms of are made, the cit, i'd only known with. and they can see that many people now have understood, understood why to the input that the course of just 7 before and as 30 districts take part in the environmental club project. but that could some change youths make up some 2 thirds of the country's population. so the help is keen to preserve the species diversity of what
6:37 pm
a terrific program. let us all the passion for those lessons learned at a very tend to age loss and lifetime. but you don't have to join a green club to help the environment. we, as individuals, can also make valuable contributions a lot on our own. here is this weeks doing gibbons be ready. charles in gaithersburg committee has single handedly grown his own forest. the engineer own 6 acres of land in kenya. 10 years ago he started planting indigenous trees. each time he went on a business trip, he'd bring back native species. when they come up with it and it came up, goes not nothing here. they are nowhere else. there was no, no trees in the moon. when the vision came up,
6:38 pm
the wheels now started emanating from down the valley. and then when you compare now this area within the beth, there's a lot of edition here. his forest is now a place where leaves russell birds sing and insects hum. he started producing medicinal plants and honey bananas, patch, and fruits and yams flourish among the trees. the local community also profits from the arboretum, snoo biodiversity, in, in the local act language, with the agro forestry coming in awe of indigenous cheese. we are noticing some changes such that the soil is changing from degraded from degraded, eroded land to now more improved with more humorous and it is supporting more life. the trees even brought back the water charles and gave the
6:39 pm
committee has shown that nature can revive when given a little helping hand and tell about you. if you are also doing your bit, tell us about is visitor website. oh, send us a tweet. hash tag doing your base we share your stories. when you think of endangered species in africa, animals like the rhinos, the elephants on the punk lanes quickly come to mind. but did you know that g raft? some also been on the red list, a viable species for several years. it's true scientists from an angel bays denobia . i've been studying giraffe populations very closely, and the good news is they say they have reasons to be cautiously optimistic.
6:40 pm
most people are familiar with giraffes, but far less is known about them than many realize what certain is that they are the world's tallest land, animals which enables them to reach leaves high on trees in the african savannah. what's less anon, is that you rubs are incredibly fast in short, best they can run up to 60 kilometers in our beyond that there are still many unanswered questions about them. what are the different species? how many giraffes currently leave in the wild? in namibia, biologist, lackland mac features enjoyed the michelle more want to learn more. the photograph every year of the sea, so they can be identified later at a female, right? 8573. observe visual studies like these have concluded that they are currently only $117000.00 euros in africa. by comparison, we are nearly 4 times as many elephants. if you think about sammy locker and
6:41 pm
african elephant, there are no, you know, i ran at 400000 mark, i believe individual. so if you think back compared to 170000 individuals and it's pretty incredible for such a, a large, a browser spaces that is called a one of the most iconic spaces in africa. really. there's been very little work done on them. i suppose the priority in the past has been some of the more sexier species like elephant and lion and draft of sort of gone under the radar. and i think because they are quite wide spread throughout africa, you feel like you see them everywhere. but that is deceptive. climate change in humans clearing land for settlements in agriculture has led to a substantial loss of happy 10th 40 wraps in the past that he is the population of these graceful animals. his sank by about a 3rd waste in rivers also threatens their drinking water. when tories numbers dropped you to the cove, it pandemic. these guides started picking up the trash instead,
6:42 pm
which will benefit the drug in the long tim, protecting these animals has a long history in the media. if i can tell you more little bit about the bushman, the they were not killing drop it or even boring their handing activities. they were not targeted to ross because they thought it was the tallest anymore. and they realized it killing a giraffe. you are cutting communication between yourself and the other sisters. this was once considered a 2nd sport, 3000 year old cave drawings prove how important europe swear to the people leaving here. they were regarded as bringers of life. oh, we believe in europe that the mag extra extent they are neg and touch their gloat and make it dream. so good. dream is a good. i happy for them. while g wraps in western and central africa as,
6:43 pm
til under threat, their numbers in namibia, in its neighboring countries, are actually increasing rising from 30000 to almost 50000. that's largely because they are better protected here in national parks. this is done vision game reserve located near the medias. capitals in dog today, kids from the children's home are hoping to get their 1st glimpse of a real giraffe, a little a drug skull like this one is very heavy. the animal sometimes used the born in projections, cold or seconds in combat with other animals was like all standing next to a lead bond gives the kids an interesting sense of proportion are you are on my leg drives. i love the colors and i lay it over to like i am dull, very strong. so draft kicks are very powerful. that's how they defend themselves from pre did us example lion for the can kick elaine. the children won't have an
6:44 pm
easy time sporting the animals to day g raft. i shy. this turtle on the other hand, wasn't too hard to catch. you don't put your fingers next to them out. it's hoped that if children lynn about the animals in the region, there will be more likely to fight to protect them in the future and doesn't get an group of kids. and when they see any more, for example at you, i can tell you than elephant or defeat. oh, i'd be standard, tell you it's a horse in that's surprising because we have foaming in the wildlife in the country . that's why we think that if any dinning room in the litigation and that this program is actually making a change in default life, giraffes prefer leaves from bush's in trees or long river, causes a cassia trees are among their favorites. biology is like landmark feature. see
6:45 pm
that as a result, they don't compete with lifestyle for food making conflicts with farmers really. so far the scientists have counted 450 giraffes here in northern namibia. and they are doing all they can to make sure these elegant creatures survive. val to europe, to help people, we must also help leisure because if we are to endure its bounty in the future, would need to treat it would respect the oceans once teamed with life. what over fishing and pollution of tickled the at all? so what if we went back to doing some things the way our ancestors did when night falls in southern portugal, it's time from our reseal no get up to head out to see. the fisherman is heading for his fishing grounds to north miles off the coast of villa vale to santo antonio . there he will catch octopus like many here in the elk of. maybe my grandfather,
6:46 pm
grandfather and father fished octopus as well. and my brothers to them, if you need to have it in your blood, is a tough profession on the ocean, takes everything out of you. not only luda, strong winds and high waves make the work difficult. tonight. the 44 year old fisherman is committed to the traditional way of catching octopus. he sings clay pots into the sea with a rope, and uses of which to lift the pumps out of the water. in some that would be an octopus hiding. l like his way of fishing is just farrah. the octopus goes into the clay pot to sleep and can swim out at any time in a tree straps. on the other hand, a just trice looking at them. but fish traps are being used more and more often. maurice, you believe this is one of the reasons why there are fewer and fewer octopus is in the region. yeah. that yeah,
6:47 pm
me bother afforded years ago there were no traps just clay pot. and my father tells me that in those days they will occupy all year round to day, more and more clay parts of being replaced with traps. and some nights i hardly catch anything. he then, long term with santa lucia is the alcoves, octopus fishing up. and the fisherman, though all the fishing methods inside out george kane olivera, assaulted for traps with bait inside. 57 year old says is more efficient and convenient because the traps can also be retrieved during the day or winter. but it, it, the octopus goes in here and can't get out in one blade mill that a by level until 2000. and i also worked with clay pods, then i switched to fish traps because it is for less hard work. fishing is easier and you just catch more of him yet. he never my 20 that talked to plus fishing is
6:48 pm
changing. there are more traps and more plastic. the traditional clay pots are being replaced with plastic containers. now what i found, the wrangell is a marine biologist al gov university. she's worried about this development and points out that the oceans are already full of micro particles. she tries to promote sustainability around 27 percent of all plastic that is in the fi. come from last year is our, our fishing devices. so there's, there's, there's a huge problem there with those, this bottom that they're fishing gears that get lost and are made of plastic material. married to goes out fishing again the next night. he has to hurry up to get the last octopi before they wake up. and swim out of the containers. and he
6:49 pm
also once again asked to repair a roof, it's been caught deliberately. i thought that the growth is broken because another fisherman cuts it out. the dogs. yeah, they don't respect my space. i occupy a large area with my clay pots, and that in my as the others, i bottom there is a lot of competition. and it's tough for him on the markets into see them out a to wants to keep to his old methods. even if that means he has to stay out until the early morning hours and thought about that is that of i, if you work hard and you're skillful, you can earn decent money in a month and then you have to look it up with a cold and the bad weather, the ambo. out of their better, they can make a pretty good living. that'll have authority. he believes that his method is more sustainable and hopes that it will one day be required in the al gov. so the c is
6:50 pm
protected. from portugal, we had further down the atlantic coast to senegal. here is something you may not know. p knots are considered the backbone of the senegalese economy, and more than 90 percent of the harvest, is it sporty to china? peanuts on youth vicious and vasa tide and even come in their own packaging like march or the packaging. peanut shells aren't meant to be eaten, but they can be put to good use as we'll see in our next report. oh, good, good. these button shall batteries may not look very special until you know the raw material used to make them at this lab and duck ours shake until d up university interior dall. peanut shells are thoughtful milestone to see
6:51 pm
beauty transforming this type of biomass into advanced materials is a new field of research, and he says it's invalid. russia. the scientific community has been working on a for 2 or 3 years to fix on the ultimate and we were the 1st to initiate this kind of work here in africa. always, you know, lovely boss, if alma peanut shells are plentiful, and synagogue peanuts are one of the countries for most important exports. more than 60 percent of the rural population grows the popular and energy rich leg. yeah . but this year, a low harvest of around $1600000.00 tons is expected due to poor rainfall. until now, the shells have simply been thrown away or burned pure ways and says, professor, in gum, he regularly buys his raw materials at the t lane, central market in jack car. i mean him and explained to the traitor that he makes batteries from michelle's getting them going and analyze them. said you book or i'd never heard of that. me again. it seems every day you wake up and there's more
6:52 pm
technology, more developments. but i'm happy to see it happening on both on the lamarche and then the peanut shells help blue eye when they live local and getting music with for more than 2 years by the d up and gum has been researching the conversion of bio mass into energy with a group of 15 students, so off while all it's a complicated electrochemical process, but 1st, the shelves are ground into powder, and mixed with water. you will are leasing on good atop the whole thing soaks for a period of time like this. i don't know. i won't tell you how long of it, because that's one of the crucial parameters. well, articles up and then we filter the mixture. and the result is this liquid whose the other pulse at the lumbering. once we add some more ingredients, we can use it to create the positive charge of the battery was achieved a lot of disclosed. the researchers take advantage of the high carbon content of the shells and extract
6:53 pm
a zinc oxides from them. bonding technology global when the liquid is irradiated with sunlight at high temperatures, the zinc oxide evaporates and is converted into metallic zinc, which in turn can store energy these are environmentally friendly batteries that have the same potential as conventional lithium ion batteries for example. but without the disadvantages, that's because lithium ion battery is contained among other things, cobalt which is often mind by children in dangerous minds and the congo. in addition, reserves of lithium and cobalt are limited. so the plus points are that the peanut battery is produced without cobalt, easier to dispose of cheaper to produce. introducing these environmentally friendly batteries would be of great help to synagogue. since 40 percent of rural households have no connection to the state power grid. they rely on batteries or alternative
6:54 pm
energy sources like solar or simply don't have access to any form of energy. there is a huge gap and energy supplied according to this environmental analyst. road is always a got a basking full. he fulfilled his gas love and i think we have to move toward the development of energy sources like bio mass. labial, mass in his e l y m s. energy can be an answer to day of the car because senegal is a major producer of peanuts with a huge supply of peanut shells. my and not i'm on can, will look of that. a seat ga, was, is on for areas like cause a mass which has a significant amount of bio mass. and the development of this energy source will allow us to close a large part of the existing gap. don't go will permit that as of 8 in gun party undergrad. think up a key exist in all right, we'll see that in preliminary trials, the researchers were able to power remote controls or cell phones with their bio
6:55 pm
batteries, but their product isn't market ready yet. liz's, you are, we now need to further optimize all the processes in the lab to get all the parameters fully under control. because the, so that the system works properly. it totally told us that and then it will be ready for market on quarterly dollar machine. the research team and jacker is now sure their batteries work. however, further research and money is needed before they can upscale production milligrams so that people and synagogue can actually use peanut power batteries to soc is uses another rounds of another show park to an information innovation. and of course ideas i hope you formed it is firing. so thank you for watching. it is now a good buy for me, sandra, queen of you here in complex uganda. so long sandra. see you next. i before i sign off, just a reminder that you can always check in with us at a time on our social media channels wishing you
6:56 pm
a good week ahead. bye for now for me chris lives in nigeria. ah. ah ah. ah, ah ah . ah with

how can this passionate hatred of a people be explained a gold pump? where does it come from? come also that history of anti semitism, he's a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power struggles in the christian christianity wants to converse. that is why christianity you like the figure of the jew, as the parent tom hope is for it's a history of slender, of hatred and violence. is the monkeys from then on the jews were considered servants of evil. we simply told you the most atrocious chapter under, within 6 years, a 3rd of our people were exterminating 6000000 jews, like microbes to be annihilated. even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. a history of anti semitism starts
