ah, listen carefully. don't know how those things you miss today gone. ah, feel the magic discovery of the world around you. subscribe to d w documentary on youtube. ah hello and welcome to equal africa. the environment sure brought you bite channel. stevie in nigeria dw, in germany and mtv right here 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 good 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 our 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 the owners. 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. what they to have something to contribute to the echo systems in which they leave. that's why conservationist the 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 landline would leave you listen for books.

the ceo david cover, walk act as a team. if you have to pay the docs in an ecosystem, it means that your pray base is good. if you have a good pray base, 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 there's 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 residence once a month, cuz i will get paid visits to the my bali community where he meets with a village leader. they discussed their mutual efforts, knowing that collaboration is king to their success. $200.00 members of the community have organized voluntary service scheme. now to protect the wild dogs. it's an undertaking for future generations senior does work together in nuclear or live nails. henry, keep the dog safe. if we don't look after them, i to the wound the kid no more, i go on boy, on that you do not know what a dope e's. in the past 2 decades,

over 30000 slays have been relieved through such corporation 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 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 other conservation efforts for the painter dogs. we making any must 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 wiggs and in the make it a living, they improve it. livelihoods is essential for conservation efforts. what so is education? pinta dog conservation is to the 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 painter dogs and the environment. and what i would do is legitimate of an opportunity that is otherwise limited as part of the camps activities. dave 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. i'm not 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 that all who let 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. and 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 of them are at risk of extinction. are the main reasons are disappearing?

habitats pollution, poaching and climate change. species a dying out at a rate and scale never seen before. it's dangerous for ecosystems and therefore for us humans too. but how successful are retents to stop this mass loss of life? let's take a 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 said as 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 durango 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 coastline 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 vegetable fish. species are over fished 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. today's 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 me. well, something that will probably never regulate itself can now be found every way 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 bricks. 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 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 bottles 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 seo design because they cost roughly $300.00 to $500.00 euros per ton. local port 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 loves the fica been germany, the consumer pays a deposit when they buy bottles. $0.12 for a single used bottle and then if they return the bottle, they get the deposit back off. good. by positive you 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 well 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 right 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, the 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 pellets, a 1000000 times per 2nd, identifying parts that still need to be separated. this is where the machine was developed. machine manufacturer out when he sends law in south germany . the prototype was designed by stephanie cliques, father, a physicist. that is of excellent comedy flakes, are in this section. the flakes are sent down the channels of the at, 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 the machine and are analyzed by a spectrometer, oscar vector. give the company has already sold over a 100 of these sorting machines. and sales are likely to jump the

e u 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 mercy into you. i'm for it's right on the you as aiming for a recycling quota of 25 percent by 2025. i friends orland site has advisors from price equals and and they're aiming for 30 percent by 2030. it was on the was also the fight. awesome. since 2019 we've been seeing a growing demand for recycling machinery in our fargo. not my daughter's christina's. the p e t. v. site clay uses high pressure to melt down the pre sorted flakes at a temperature of $280.00 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, ford 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 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 the mountains of west that we don't even know what to do eve and on the other, we are destroying in tucked equals to scenes, but actually contribute to the health of our planet. but on these weeks doing a beat, we'll see how a moroccan inventor has come up with a way for households to save both time and energy. and it doesn't 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. opens by the pausing to take a dish with vegetable than me not serving 3 or 4 people in can e a in the winter or falls 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. though, but if star left, if that time is hammed 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 your best we share your stories

by now most of us know that a fossil fuels are wanting low, but did you ever stop to think about what they're actually middle? put very simply, fossil fuels, basically consist of prehistoric, plants 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 firm entered, 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 yet by our fossil fuels don't offer enough stability.

jewel on demand that 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 more, we can also plan for the future that they have their port 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 $34.00 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 hundreds of euros a year spent on artificial fertilizer. every month in 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 for their exam. do we need success stories so that those who are interested but who may have doubts the popular if we're find me investment a bit costly,

sol as it will be motivated to take the plunge from silver. but millions of tons of raw materials still go to waste every year. it's a niche market and felix or no uh g believes there are still hurdles to overcome. if walker to marshy a corner acre, once the market is known and the demand is real and visible, or when people manage to disrupt the market, 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 added to the bar. then this re a billiard ball was good. i think that is still the achilles heel bit upon didn't go and point out intel and i 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 $990.00 euros, but it is efficient. yeah, no, i mean, 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 by the challenges. 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 to day. thanks for joining us and do come back again next week until then. i am crystal, i'm signing off from logan states nigeria, salon creek. see you next time,
