i mean, the facts of climate change, i mean, felt worldwide deforestation in the rain forest continued carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people all over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah hello and welcome to equal africa. the environment shown brought you bite channels . devi in nigeria, dw, in germany, and mtv righty. in uganda, i am sandra,

queen of you, and with me as always, is michael presenter in nigeria. how are you, chris? very well, thank you sandra preservation. that's a good word to describe the focus of today's episode. it can be applied to both resources and are amazing animal kingdom. let's start off with a brief look at what's coming up. we'll hear about how ivory coast is tony mechanic waste into energy. find out why wildlife conservation is about much more than just numbers. and see how a solar rover is protected trees in barocha. if you have a special 4 legged friend in your life, chances are pretty high. it's a dog. they are considered good companions and fiercely loyal to their own is. that's why it's so interesting that people tend to have the of pose,

it's impression of wild dogs, gene them as destructive an all predictable what they to have something to contribute to the echo systems in which they leave. that's why conservationists in simple way of fighting hard to protect one especially beautiful species found there . ah, this pretty pop looks like a peaceful fellow. but these species bad reputation has let it been one of the most endangered in the world. just 130 african painted dogs live in the hanging national park in north west zimbabwe. here most people only view the animals as a threats to their cattle and otherwise useless. a local and you is working to change that perception jam up near the land line or would leave you listen for

those, the 01 and then david cover. walker, the settings if you have painted docs in an acre system, it means your pri best. ah is good if you have a good pri best. it also means, you know, it means your, your, your, your, your, your, your produces, you know, your grass or trees and stuff. it means there is something that the prey can fiddle . so once you have printer docs in the system, it shows that there's enough space and days enough, ah wildlife in the spin the system. the biggest threats to the wild dogs are trap set my poachers to d. cover walk as anti poaching unit is on one of its daily patrols around one good national park to remove snares. 17 ranges from surrounding communities make up this t, though the major targets of these traps are small animals perceived for the amine painted

dogs frequently get entangled in them over there known to cover great distances in the wild as the hunt you the ranger's work would be insufficient without the support of local residents once a month, cuz i walk a piece of visits to them. my bali community where he meets with a village leader, they discussed their mutual efforts, knowing that collaboration is key to their success. $200.00 members of the community have organized a voluntary service scheme to protect the wild dogs. it's an undertaking for future generations. anyone does work together in nuclear or live nails and we keep the dog safe. if we don't look after them, i take the wound, the kid no more. our dog boy young that you do not know what they don't with in the past 2 decades. over 30000 snares have been relieved through such cooperation

between painted door conservation and community. but to make an even greater difference, the factors that often push people into poaching in the 1st reef need to be addressed. here at the eager yanna otts on crowd center, collected wire snares find new life in the hands of over 30 artists who are employed to make different artifacts. mainly for the european markets, a 3rd of the profits around $50000.00 a year goes to the artisans. the rest supports of the conservation efforts for the painted dogs we making animals through at so we can look up our parents who can look up our friends who can look after our children. saw that they go to school, they go to work and then they make it a living. they, improving livelihoods is essential for conservation efforts. what so his education

painted doll conservation is to the hosting a class from one of the 21 school in wiley for a week on program called eager yana boucher. it's an opportunity for kids around the age of 11 to learn more about the printer, dogs, and the environment. and what i would do is legitimate of an opportunity that is otherwise limited as part of the camps activities. david cover walker is given the children a tour of the n jules rehabilitation center. injured dogs are nursed back to health here and then released over 80, have already been rehabilitated and sent back into the wild. dead ganganey ever, yvonne by enamel. i have learned that when painted dogs are in the wild, they mostly hunt down weaker or diseased animals. do. am i going on if they become extinct? so there will be

a lot of spread of disease among animals which will see them dying. nazena says guys are all glass as the sci fi all the efforts going on here has in a meaningful impact, but there is still a need for longer term measures to prevent species like the african painter dog from dying out. the zimbabwe parks and wildlife authority has been collaborating with painted or conservation and local communities. it believes solutions do exist and is working to implement them. the long term solution. in some cases we move animals with their more populated twitter or less populated. that's that's, that's one sure way of dealing with that problem. it also we have been working with other government departments to discourage settlements within a animal corridors expanding into protected areas, while more still needs to be done to protect the painted dog. progress has been made here, thanks to people coming together with an i to the future as much as the present

white glove protection and preservation is a pretty complex subject. and it takes a lot of planning patience and even good fortune to keep things balanced. and there are a whole host of outside factors that come into play the economic interest of industry, local agriculture, and human safety, to name just a few. we're going to review some of the success stories and describe some of the problems faced st certain species and conservationist hickle's this place home, some of its residents, we already know, but many other plants and animals are yet to be discovered. humans have only studied a small fraction of the estimated $8000000.00 species that exist. $1000000.00 if them are at risk of extinction. the main reasons are disappearing. habitat,

pollution, poaching and climate change. species are dying out at a rate and scale never seen before. it's dangerous to ecosystems and therefore for us humans too. but how successful are attempts to stop this mass of life. but take a look at these. some see themselves as conservationists, and many animals that live there are endangered species or no longer exist in the wild a tool like push of ascii horses. they were bred in captivity and re introduced to their former home of mongolia. today's wild population of a few 100 descends from just 12 animals. and yet genetically, they are surprising the diverse. so that's a good chance that this species will survive long term. but the success stories a few and far between animal conservationists estimate are only 20 species,

have been saved by zeus send thereon rescue census on sumatra in indonesia, sarah, an estimated 14000, rang a time for that at the beginning of the last century. there were about 6 times as many the great apes of disappeared along with rain forests, which had been cleared for palm oil plantations. many baby rang tangs had been captured and kept as pets in the jungle school they learned to survive in what few protected rain forests there are left. so far, nearly 200 animals have been rescued and re introduced into the wild. here the species can also be protected through regulation. fish numbers are decreasing in our oceans. small boats operating along coast ins report catching far, few fish,

pollution and over fishing are the main reasons. fishing quote is are an attempt to give endangered species time to reproduce. and sustainable methods such as nets with mash large enough to spare, smaller fish are intended to protect stalks around 30 percent of edible fish species are over fish and 60 percent are on the brink. one of the biggest problems here is that conservation agreements are not adequately enforced and that leads us to the role of protected areas. to day, about 15 percent of the world's land area is protected. this has, among other things, helped to save elephants that are hunted for ivory and whose populations have been decimated. ranges here trying to protect them against poachers. other animals are also safer from human intervention in these reserves. * but in

some reserves, elephants, for example, have reproduced so much that their numbers have actually become a problem. they require more food and space than there is and destroy trees, fields and even villages, or movie, there's been been a good one possible solution is to increase the size of such reserves. and in general, to foster intact ecosystems in which nature regulates itself. perhaps we humans need to learn to see nature not as something to be exploited, but as something that we are part of. well, something that will probably never regulate itself can now be found everywhere. on earth, plastic our plastics. i've been a boom to manufacturing and production. mother,

believe we've passed the tipping point. yes, crease. this situation is very serious, but people are trying to improve matters. we have seen how companies are turning single use items into longer lusting things like ricks but businesses are also collecting, cleaning, and recycling other plastic items so that they can be met into the same type of products again. oh and it's report comes from germany around the world. mountains of rubbish are piling up. plastic waste is especially bad for the environment because it doesn't decompose. $1000000.00 plastic bottles are sold around the world every single minute to produce just one of those bottles. it takes a quarter of a liter of mineral oil, but there's one type of plastic that's cleaner and green up once used. p e t baffles can be crushed and processed into granules, which can then be almost a 100 percent recycled to manufacture new bottles. but how does it work?

a recycling company in germany, 400 bales of bottles are delivered here every day. one, bail weighs about 250 kilos and consists of approximately 10000 bottles. it might look like waste, but these bales have their price dies, vacuum. i'm hoping this is valuable. raw material. so we have to pay for the bail schedule because they cost roughly $300.00 to $500.00 euros per ton. we'll put on the 1st step is to release the bottles from the bundle and separate them on a conveyor belts. all of this waste is p e t polyethylene, to rest the late for an obvious reason. as endorse lunch, or if i could been germany, the consumer pays a deposit when they buy bottles. $0.25 for a single used bottle of he said. then if they returned the bottle, they get the deposit back a little. we'll soon as i bought good, we got so here in germany with our deposit and return system has clearly defined

standards law because the quality reversed vending machines can be found. in most supermarkets, you insert your bottle and get a 25 cent voucher in return. germans are reputed to be world champions in recycling, 97 percent of bottles and now recycled here. other countries don't have anything like the same number of reverse vending machines. so the recycling rate is far lower. the bottles assorted not only by color but also by material. the system recognizes any material that isn't p t for example, labels and garbage bags. in the next step, the bottles a shredded and washed at a temperature of 80 degrees celsius. then the fragments is stripped of any remaining residue,

leaving pure p e t fragments known as p e t flakes. this machine has to scan vast quantities of bottle fragments. a laser scans the pallets a 1000000 times per 2nd, identifying parts that still need to be separated. this is where the machine was developed. machine manufacture out when he's and saw in south germany. the prototype was designed by stephanie cliques, father, a physicist. that is of its own. com. the flakes are in this section. the flakes are sent down the channels, and at this level, they reach the laser. eva, the laser focuses on the flake of the flank, absorbs the energy, and then re releases it in the form of res, which re enter them sheen and are analyzed by a spectrometer oscar vegetable. the company has already sold over a 100 of these sorting machines and sales a likely to jump the

e you wants to increase the share of recycled p t in plastic products. not just in bottles, but products such as yoga pops to your country, armed mercy of injury. or i'm for title the you as aiming for a recycling quota of 25 percent by 2025. i've been sold on site 1000, dies from piracy portland, and they're aiming for 30 percent by 2030 is was on the whistles are 5000 since 2019. we've been seeing a growing demand for recycling machinery off harder. not my daughter's christina's . the p e t recycler uses high pressure to melt down the pre sorted flakes at a temperature of 280 degrees celsius. the process results in these granules. they can then be sold and used to make new bottles, which in turn can be recycled. a number of times what could the same process be

used to recycle other products we could use of the are the main thing is to have reverse vending machines which allow us to extract out here, plastics. so yes, this process could be used to recycle other types of packaging. diego bottle recycling is a well functioning system. but if we want to reduce more of the world's waste mountains, a lot more p e t packaging will have to be recycled. if it is a bit crazy, on the one hand, we have been buried in the mountains of west that we don't even know what to do eve . and on the other, we are destroying intact ecosystems that afternoon. contribute to the health of our planet. but all these weeks don't get beat. we'll see how a moral can, inventor has come up with a way for households to save both time and energy. and it does at home, the environment, blah. every year

africa loses around $4000000.00 hectares of forest land. as trees are cut down, chopped up and turned into charcoal. and it's an extremely high demand with many people on the continent still kicking over open fires, a practice that's unhealthy, bad for the environment and fuels. desertification. mohammad are half a morocco has come up with a solution, a cooker that does without gas or electricity. his priority was to ensure a simple and lightweight construction and low production costs, making it widely affordable. the os will r cooker harnesses energy from the sun. a lens in the cover consolidates the sun's rays using them to heat the small cooking area below to $200.00 degrees celsius and higher. meanwhile, the pots lid has a special black coating that also stores the solar energy evinced by the pausing to take a dish with vegetables and me not serving 3 or 4 people in can e, a in the winter, or falls when the sun isn't at high in the sky,

i will see if we need 3 or 4 hours until it's cooked up though, but of style. if that time is hand in the summer. and there's even especially developed at that works out how long you'll need, depending on the recipe. muhammad, our house cooker has already won him a high profile environmental innovation award. it's currently still only a prototype, but it's set to go into production soon, enabling more people to serve up climate friendly treats and tell about you. if you are also doing your bits, tell us about his visitor website both send us the tweets hash tag doing jo, base we share your stories by

now most of us know that a fossil fuels are running low, but did you ever stop to think about what they actually made of put very simply, fossil fuels, basically consist of, prehistoric, plant matter that has been buried in the us for millions of years. these days we generate so much plant matter or biomass on a daily basis. it makes sense to find ways to convert it into clean energy without the weight or loss report takes us to ivory coast to look at the developments in the sector there. it looks like plaster, but in fact, this is the residue of the cassava plant. it's fed with enzymes to produce liquid sugar. once it is fermented, it's distilled in this machine, which takes 6 days. the result is bio ethanol for i b, valera, it's the fuel of the future. and yet by our fossil fuels don't offer enough

stability. jewel on to mail and the price of petrol and diesel goes up and down from one day to the next. so we don't have any control over the cost of fossil fuels is equal seen a lower as with organic farming. we can not only measure our product by more, we can also plan for the future better there. the portal muscle. first test drives have already been done. now he's just waiting for the permit to produce the bio ethanol. it's a known fact that vegetable scraps have lots of potential. they can be turned into fertilizer as well as fuel. since last year, michelle ari, gaba has been using his own fertilizer made from organic waste from his village mandible. it consists of vegetable scraps, animal, dung, and moss. the nutrients benefit his palm oil plantations. michelle, gaba is happy about the higher you meals. i liked ali have 4 and

a half tons per hector. got that 4 and a half to 5 tons collector, but these days with what we're doing and with what we see coming, we're going to double or even triple the production will be what we're going to go beyond 10 tons, let them do this here to a device helps a container called a cubicle inside the villagers, organic waste decomposes for a monro about a 150 kilos of solid fertilizer can be produced from 500 kilos of waste. that saves hundreds of euros a year spent on artificial fertilizer. i wanted the inventor of the cubic po box has developed models for liquid and solid fertilizer, as well as one for bio gas for cooking. they can cost between $450.90 euros. before the exam, do we need success stories so that those who are interested but who may have doubts? corollary or find me investment a bit costly?

sol sounds that will be motivated to take the plunge from sheila. but millions of tons of raw materials still go to waste every year. it's a niche market and felix or no a g believes there are still hurdles to overcome. in for credit, marcy, a corner acre once the market is known and the demand is real visible or when people manage to disrupt the market. okay, that's when production will begin. properly, saucers may cut off a golfer on law a li, a booth. but when you know that you have to go and present products to conquer market chairs are in segments that are already held by the oil industry. on the i did to the bar, then this re a billiard ball was because i think that the still the achilles heel bit upon didn't go and point out at the lumber should but that doesn't discourage the team from law. now they hold regular training workshops mainly for young entrepreneurs

and co operatives on the phone plugin. this machine that makes the fertilizer is not cheap at around 990 euros, but it is efficient yellow. until now, the participants only new traditional composting of except for myself. so with this training, we realized that it could create great value and that we could produce mushrooms or other products on an industrial scale minor challenges in this results in an entire value chain. from the women who handle the cassava residue to the farmers and entrepreneurs. and last but not least, it's good for the environment. turned in waste into energy that seems like a very sensible use of readily available resources. that's all we've got time for today. thanks for joining us and do come back again next week until then. i am crystal, i'm signing off from ogen states, nigeria,
