the listening place along the mediterranean it's waters connect people of many cultures seen of almost rock. and to far abdul karim drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean, where it has history left its traces, meeting regal, hearing their dreams id to you during this week on d. w. a . hello, and welcome to equal africa, the environment shown brought to bite channels. stevie in nigeria dw, in gemini,

and mtv righty. in uganda, i am sandra to interview and with me as always is michael presented in nigeria. how are you, chris? very well, thank you sandra, preservation. that's a great word to describe the focus of today's episode. it can be applied to both resources in our amazing animal kingdom. let's start off with a brief look at what's coming up. we'll hear about how ivory coast is turning organic waste into energy. find out why wildlife conservation is about much more than just numbers. and see how a solar oven is protected, cheese in maroka. if you have a special 4 legged friend in your life, chances are pretty high. it's a dog. they're considered good companions and fiercely loyal to the onus. 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 and all predictable. but they to have something to contribute to the echo systems in which they leave. that's why conservation is things in, by 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 letty it been one of the most endangered in the world. just 130 african painted dogs living the one in national park in north west, zimbabwe. here most people only view the animals as a threat to their cattle and otherwise useless. a local and you is working to change that perception jam up near atlanta would leave you listen for books. this

one it david cover. walker is a teen. if you have to pay the docs in an ecosystem, it means that 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 producers, you know, your grass or trees and stuff. it means there is something that the prey can fiddle . so once you find a doctor in the system, it shows that there's enough space and there's enough, ah, wildlife in the spin assist him. the biggest threats to the wild dogs, a trap set my poachers to d. cover walk as anti porch in unit is on one of its daily patrols around one good national park to remove snares. 17 ranges from surrounding communities make up this

teen. though the major targets of this 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 residence. once a month cover walker pays the visits to the my bali community where he meets with the village leader. they discussed their mutual efforts, knowing that collaboration is key to their success. 200 members of the community have organized voluntary services scheme to protect the wild dogs. it's an undertaking for future generations senior does work together in lou clear or live nails, henry, keep the dog safe. if we don't look after them, i t, the wound the kid, no more. our dog boy young. if you do not know what a dog eat. in the past 2 decades,

over 30000 snares have been relieved through such cooperation between painted dog, conservation, and community. but to make an even greater difference, the factors that often push people into poaching in the 1st, please need to be addressed here at the eager yona arts and crafts 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 that conservation efforts for the painted dogs. we making any must through at so we can look up our parents who can look after 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. the improving livelihood is essential for conservation efforts. what so

his education, pinta dog conservation is to do hosting a class from one of the 21 schools 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 they recover. 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. america 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 i have 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 dust dust. thus 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, an evil good fortune to keep things balanced. and there are a whole host of outside factors that come into play. they can amik 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. habitats pollution, poaching and climate change species a dying out at a rating scale, never seen before. it's dangerous the ecosystems and therefore for us humans too. but how successful are attempts to stop this mass loss of life? let's take look at zeus some see themselves as conservationists, and many animals that lived there. aw, endangered species or no longer exist in the wilder tool like push of our skis 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 surprisingly diverse. so there's a good chance that this species will survive long time. but these success stories a few and far between animal conservationists estimate the only 20 species have

been saved by zeus. then there are rescue centers on sumatra in indonesia, there are an estimated $14000.00 de rang at times left at the beginning of the last century. there were about 6 times as many of the great apes have disappeared along with rain forests which have been cleared for palm oil plantations. many baby rang tangs have been captured and kept as pets in the jungle school they learned to survive in what few protected rain forests there were left. so far, nearly 200 animals have been rescued and re introduced into the wild here species can also be protected through regulation. fish numbers are decreasing in our oceans. small boats operating along coast lines report catching fall, few fish,

pollution and over fishing of 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, small of fish are intended to protect stalks around 30 percent of edible fish species are over fish and 60 percent are on the brink. one, the biggest problems here is that conservation agreements are not adequately enforced and that leads us to the role of protected areas. to day to 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. rangers 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 an destroy trees, fields and even villages. but 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 or 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. men are 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 piling up. plastic waste is especially bad for the environment because it doesn't decompose. $1000000.00 plastic bottles 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 t bottles can be crushed and processed into granules, which can then be almost a 100 percent recycle 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 with whom i'm hoping this is valuable. raw material. so we have to pay for the bail seo design. but kansas, they cost roughly $300.00 to $500.00 euros per ton will 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. if i have been germany, the consumer pays a deposit when they buy bottles. $0.25 for a single used bottle. he said. then if they returned the bottle, they get the deposit back a little. we'll soon bye, bob. good. you got so here in germany with our deposit and return system has

clearly defined standards law because the quality rivers vending machines can be found in most supermarket. you in set 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 reversed 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 e 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 is and saw in south germany. the prototype was designed by stephanie cliques, father, a physicist. that is of its own calm, 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 rays which re enter them sheen and are analyzed by a spectrometer oscar that's good. 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 good job and mercy, an injury or on fixed right on the you as aiming for a recycling quota of 25 percent. by 2025 guns orland site wasn't isaac from piracy put vent and they're aiming for 30 percent by 2030. is was on the was also $5000.00 since 2019. we've been seeing a growing demand for recycling machinery in our fargo. not my daughters, christina. the p e t v site gray uses high pressure to melt down the pre salted 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 fire could the same process be

used to recycle other products. because of the are, the main thing is to have reverse vending machines which allow us to extract your 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 mountains of west that we don't even know what to do eve and on the other, we are destroying interact equal to scenes that actually 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 it hum 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, muhammad, 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 asshole 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 fuzzy to take a dish with vegetable than me not serving 3 or 4 people in can e,

a in the winter or fall when the sun isn't that high in the sky, we'll see if we need 3 or 4 hours until it's cooked up, but of style up 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 it. this is how websites both send us the tweets hash tag doing your best. we shall, you'll still res. why now most of us know that

a fossil fuel is running low, but did you ever stop to think about what they're actually middle port? very simply, fossil fuels, basically consist of, prehistoric, plant matter that has been buried in the 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. 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 level 4. i b, valera, it's the fuel of the future and yet,

by our fossil fuels don't offer enough stability. a jewel under 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 aloe, whereas with organic farming, we can not only measure our product and what we can also plan for the future that they're, they're all 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, none debo. it consists of vegetable scraps, animal, dung, and moss. the nutrients benefit his palm oil plantations. michelle, gaba is happy about the higher yields i liked. i will have 4 and

a half tons per hector. got 4 and a half to 5 tons. electra 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 $150.00 kilos of solid fertilizer can be produced from $500.00 kilos of waste. that saves hun it euros a year spent on artificial fertilizer. every month is the inventor of the tobacco 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 the investment of a bit costly sol?

sounds they will be motivated to take the plunge from sheila bar, but millions of tons of raw materials still go to waste every year. it's a niche market and felix or no r g believes there are still hurdles to overcome. if walker to marcy a corner acre, once the market is known and the demand is real visible, or when people manage to disrupt the market, to create him, that's when production will begin. properly, saucers may cut off a golf read on blah ally deb with. 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 any bar, then this v a billiard ball was cuz i think that is still the achilles heel built upon. didn't go and point out until under should but that doesn't discourage the team from lanelle. they hold regular training workshops mainly for young

entrepreneurs and co operatives only don't like this machine that makes the fertilizer is not cheap at around 990 euros, but it is efficient younger. until now the participants only knew 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 says it will use of readily available resources. that's all we've got time for to day. thanks. we joining us and do come back again next week until then. i am crystal, i'm signing off from bogan states, nigeria,
