for the listen carefully, don't know how with to the goal. ah, feel the magic discover the world around you. subscribe to d w documentary on youtube. we're a it's time for new edition of echo africa brought to you by exhibit uganda d. w from germany and channels television. here, my jerry,
2:31 pm
my name is priscilla adams, common to you from nigeria, and i am sandra tree, no video here in com. paula. we are delighted to have you with 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 draft population and why up to position is creating marine pollution if possible. we start the show in render with a topic that is relevant to many african countries. now how do you explain to the future generations that it is better to protect the animals other than hunt them all down? that is tough as they read a long tradition of hunting in random. here is more in this story
2:32 pm
with what kind of monkeys are these? what habitat to the need, and what are the threats? the freaks, these youths belong to an environmental club? we teaches them about wild animals in the hopes will help protect species, diversity and port peaceful coexistence between people and their fellow creatures. the initiative founder and head on schumann issue, we expect great things from the students who have cooked the enrollment surrounding to you. but as the, when you find it in many more in the community, you can advocate for it. don't keep the animals, don't disturb 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 national hon. that is
2:33 pm
a treasure true for biological diversity. in the 1068 plant species have been counted here and many of those grasses and cheese and found in any of the forests or parks a rwanda. but it's not just the greenery that's unique. the park is home to 322 species of birds and making it a great spot for bird watching twice a month in many shim way on his group. explore the national park, hoping to encounter some of its 75 species of domestic mammals. like chimpanzees or rare, our faced monkey bucket ski, they learn more about what they see this project is part of the rwandan government initiative. i guess in the you guys you debug over did amendment glove where the feet of this conflict, which is that teaching you it getting to you and having you taking a thick, tulsa,
2:34 pm
that is the promise over the future. the pupils take their mission seriously. they're assuming responsibility for the environment by preserving its plants and animals. gumbo, co amended, and these environmental clubs is to be right on the front line for environmental protection. now one, the one that it's on acceptable for people who am their varman, to be left to their own devices on why they must be shown the right way of reporter to the authorities. if they refuse to change your attitude, arca, about that a coin user with the teacher 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 while species diversity. the partial settlement of aka guerra
2:35 pm
national park, has led to the disappearance of many lions and rhinos. so the government wants to sensitize people to their environment. and not just school kids under a full who cannot avoid, involving those who have moved to school from a to avoid involving those who took as kudos to attend to a jetta, tennessee, rosalie, to go put it in to this fight. so on weekends, school groups visit villages to spread their message. careful, wild animals don't set traps or chop down trees. often they propose a treat. villagers can receive farm animals in exchange for giving up hunting. because like young marie viani ramirez, many here will once i hope chest arrive, when i do come on as i used to hunt antelope and eat them with my family with. but through this awareness sunday, opportunities offered to was,
2:36 pm
i've stopped watching since we've been given domestic animals. this no need to hunt in the park by taking care of the units. move on to the next village. more than 60 people in the area around noon gain, national park have given up poaching some now raised livestock instead. i'm others i employed by the project than work with trees whose leaves are used in traditional medicine and learn how to build terraces to stop erosion. the regions outlook is improving, says ons, the machine we partly thanks to the environmental clumps. there is a very huge change in terms of our mindset. i only knew it, and they can see that many people now have understood, understood white as in political sub just 7 for 230 districts take part in the environmental club project. but that couldn't change you
2:37 pm
to make up some 2 thirds of the country's population. so the help is key to preserve the species diversity about what 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 jane a green club to help the environment. we, as individuals, can also make valuable contributions. a lot on our own. here is a basics doing given. i 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 baker rob liddy company came up,
2:38 pm
does not loving here they are nowhere else. there was no, no trees in the moon when the rich dish on came up, the wheels now started emanating from down there valley. and then when you compare now this area within a bath, 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 is new. biodiversity in, in the local, our language with the agro forestry coming in or of indigenous cheese. we are noticing some changes such that the soil is changing from degraded from degraded,
2:39 pm
eroded land to now more improved with more humus. and it is supporting more life the trees even brought back the water charles and gave a committee has shown that nature can revive when given a little helping hand. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about is visit our website. oh, send us a tweet. hash tag doing your best. we share your story. when you think of endangered species in africa, animals like the rhinos, the elephants on the pongo lanes quickly come to mind. but did you know that g ross? i've also been on the read list a viable species for several years. it's true science is from an angel baze
2:40 pm
denobia. i've been studying giraffe populations very closely. and the good news is they say they have reasons to be cautiously optimistic. 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 lees 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 drafts currently leave in the wild? in namibia biologist glockland mac features in jordan, michelle more want to learn more, the photograph every year of the sea, so they can be identified later at a female, right? 8573. of the visual studies like these have concluded that they are currently only
2:41 pm
$117000.00 euros in africa. by comparison, we are nearly 4 times as many elephants. if you think about some locker and african elephant, they're in a run at $400000.00 mark. i believe individual, so if you think that compared to $170000.00 individuals and it's pretty incredible for such a, a large, a browser spaces that is kind of one of the, 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 drop 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
2:42 pm
a 3rd waste in rivers also threatened their drinking water. when tories numbers dropped you to the cove, it pandemic. these guides started p of the trish instead, which will benefit the jewels 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 during their handing activities, they were not targeted to ross because they thought it was a policy anymore. and they realized it killing a giraffe. you are cutting the communication between yourself and the ancestors. this was once considered a sacred sport. 3000 year old cave drawings prove how important giraffes where to the people leaving here they regarded is bring us off life. oh, we believe in europe that the mag ex extent they are nick and touch the gloat
2:43 pm
and make it dream. so good. rain is a good. i have year for them. wild you wraps in western in central africa as to under threat. they are 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 capital vin dog. today, kids from the children's home are hoping to get the 1st glimpse of a real giraffe, a little a drug skull like this one is very heavy. the animal sometimes use the borne, your projections, cold or seconds in combat with other animals was like all standing next to a lead bond. give the kids an interesting sense of proportion are you are on my leg drives. i love the colors and i lay it looked all like i am dull,
2:44 pm
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 easy time sporting the animals to day g raps. i shy. miss turtle, on the other hand, was in too hard to catch. you don't put your fingers next to them out. it's hoped that if children live above the animals in the region, there will be more likely to fight to protect them in the future and doesn't get in group of kids. and when they see animals, for example that you, i can tell you that elephant or defeat our best endo tell you it's a horse in that's surprising because we have foaming wildlife in the country. that's why we think that if a need in a moment, litigation, and that this program is actually making a change, in default, life drops prefer leaves from bush's in trees or long river
2:45 pm
causes a cassia trees are among their favorites. biology is like landmark feature. see that as a result, they don't compete with lifestyle for food, making conflicts with farmers re sofa. 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 enjoy its bounty, the future would need to treated would respect the oceans, was teamed with life. what, over fishing and pollution of taking 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 know, get out to head out to see. the fisherman is heading for his fishing grounds to
2:46 pm
north miles off the coast of villa vale to santo antonio. there he will catch octopus, like many here in the alcove. maybe my grandfather, grandfather and father fished octopus his wish and i'm in the ocean, takes everything out of you. i'm luda strong winds and high waves make the work difficult to night. 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 a winch to lift the pox out of the water. in some, there will be an octopus hiding. l likely, 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 try sort of going up, but fish traps are being used more and more often. maurice,
2:47 pm
you believe this is one of the reasons why there are fewer and fewer octopus is in the region? yeah, that yet me father. 40 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 parties 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, joking olivera that altered for traps with bait inside. 57 year old says it's more efficient and convenient because the traps can also be retrieved during the day or winter. but it, the octopus goes in here and can't get out one blade mill that a by level until 2000. and i also worked with clay pods, then i switch to fish traps because it makes for less hard work. fishing is easier
2:48 pm
and you just catch more of them. yodi have a nice county that talk to plus. fishing is changing. there are more traps and more plastic. the traditional clay pots are being replaced with plastic containers. now what i found that angle is a marine biologist, a 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 efficient 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
2:49 pm
get the last octopi before they wake up. and swim out of the containers. and he also once again asked to repair a roof, it's been caught deliberately. i thought that the growth is broken because another fisherman cut it, not i, they don't, 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. but marty 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 as 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 at what happened to cold and the bad weather the ambo out a bit better. they can make a pretty good living that'll have authority. he believes that his method is more
2:50 pm
sustainable and hopes that it will one day be required in the al gov. so the c is protected from portugal, we had further down the atlantic coast to senegal. here is something you may not know p not. i considered the backbone of the senegalese economy, and more than 90 percent of the harvest, is it sporty to china? peanuts onion, vicious, and vasa tight and even come in their own packaging like march or the packaging? peanut shells aren't meant to be eaten, but they can be pulled 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 dac, ours shake until
2:51 pm
d up university interior dall. peanut shells dot dot moss yonder, cbs, transforming this type of biomass into advanced materials is a new field of research and 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. i see a lovely boss, 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 lego. 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 waste and says, professor ben gum, he regularly buys his raw materials at the t lane, central market in decor, letting him and explains to the traitor that he makes batteries from michelle's
2:52 pm
getting them, bringing it out of i somebody said uber, oh, i'd never heard of that on me again. it seems every day you wake up and there's more technology or more developments. but i'm happy to see it happening on both on the low market and that the peanut shells help blue light i when they live local and getting music 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 by little it's a complicated electrochemical process. first, the shelves are ground into powder, and mixed with water. yolanda st. on good a top. 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 optical, those up and then we filter the mixture. and the result is this liquid whose the as opposed phenomenon. once we add some more ingredients, we can use it to create the positive charge of the battery was achieved
2:53 pm
a lot of disclosed. the researchers take advantage of the high carbon content of the shells and extract 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 in 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
2:54 pm
have no connection to the state power grid, they rely on batteries or alternative energy sources like solar or simply don't have access to any form of energy. there is a huge gap in energy supplied according to this environmental analyst role as a basic up a pasco full. he fulfilled this gap lovelady. i think we have to move toward the development of energy sources like bio mass lab. yo mos in s e l y, a mass 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 at us, eat gall. we're liaison for areas like how's a mass which has a significant amount of bio mass amplify. 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 a in gun putty undergrad. think up a key exist. all right, we'll see that in preliminary trials,
2:55 pm
the researchers were able to power remote controls or cell phones with their bio batteries. but their product isn't market ready yet, liz? oh, we now need to further up to my as all the processes in the lab to get all the parameters fully under control because the so that the system works properly, it total told us off 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 in synagogue can actually use peanut power batteries to suck is uses . and that rounds of another show parked with information innovation and of course ideas i hope you found it is firing. so thank you for watching it is now a good buy for me, sandra. twin of you here in counselor, uganda. so long sandra. see you next time before i sign off, just a reminder of
2:56 pm
a you can always check in with us any time on our social media channels. wishing you a good week ahead. bye for now for me, chris lives in nigeria. ah . ah, with ah. ah, with

political power. struggles in the chris in christianity wants to convey that is why christianity you like the figure of the jew as the parent. some hope it's a history of slender, of hatred and violence. is the bodies? well then on the jews were considered servants of evil. so he told you about the most atrocious chapter and within 6 years, a 3rd of our people were exterminated. he meeting 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 july 2nd on d w. what do you sick? what do you get for $0.50 for $0.50?
2:59 pm
ah no, a lot with thinking coffee bells or the lunchtime did you know it cost $0.50 to feed one hungry child for one full day a day? good evening. oh, you said oh, with the share the meal, you could share your meal with children in need, with just $0.50 and a tap on your smartphone. smartphone users outnumber hungry children by 20 to imagine the impact you and your friends can have. together we can end global hunger . please download the app. ah, ah
3:00 pm
ah ah, this is the w news live from the german chancellor. hold up sholtes address is low . mike is in the bonus tag. after his recent trip to keith and a hated case summit light of this week, it's likely the war and ukraine will be talking to.
