miss lucy ross, it's dangerous game. people overseas that. yeah, we are here. we're patrolling area now, the cards are being re, shuffles, who has the best handed? russia is a quite active economic in the arctic. this you see something that looked like james bond. it has to do with the military picking starts december 23rd on d w. ah yeah, would we be without bio diversity? probably extinct without biodiversity, the entire support system for all living things would completely collapse. that's

why we must do all we can to protect hits. woke up to echo africa. i'm chris elapse . well, chris, your point is well taken. there is still a lot we can do to improve the situation. now that is something we'll be looking into on today's program. welcome and thank you for joining us. i am sandra williams, and here is what else we have coming up. home. plastic trash is helping people get health care in nigeria. how hungry our forms are ensuring kelsey and how of what a management program is stuck in the efforts of drunk in london. we start the shore writer in uganda, which is home to an abundance of wildlife, from convenience, aren't of bunches to cheaters. and of course, a famous mountain guerrillas by the wont being of many of the animal populations

depends on the palace if also people who have dedicated their lives, protecting them, like they're going to wildlife authorities, head of law enforcement. margaret costume by miss how crucial motivation is for her and her 2 more rangers working for the going to what life authority this is a real moment of relaxation. they frequently put their lives on the line in order to protect the countries wide life. margaret cassandra is a to the vanguard of the fight against butcher's in you can, does national parks had you're busy, highly dangerous one. sometimes we are confronted with people who are equally armed . blake, us like the porch. us. we have an would porchie. sometimes people come in and to, to go to the and was that they want. so we have also to be armed and, and,

and ready to counter, to counter what they come to do. you can this elephant population is no back up to over 5000 animals. thanks to the range, a stylish efforts and dedication. but a fight is not over. in 2019 the authority, their record amount of ivory, we gain attitudes of over 3 tons of tasks. a whole that cost the lives of over $350.00 elephants at the hands of poachers. on average, every year we persecute a boat for hundreds of thick involved in the french offensive, including who had left trafficking, poaching, illegal entry into the park, and others the ranges of to keep pressure and poachers by maintaining umd mucho's

across the national parks. you can, the has an ambitious goal to re introduce a herd of white trainers to the wired. 40 as of to purchase, wiped them out. the sea was sanctuary in central. uganda is the proud home of the only wilds. so them white trainers in the country. the $33.00 animals, i get it by rangers around the clock. we have increased our force in numbers and we're still increasing. we have people who are trading right now near to training. they will be passing out soon. they will come to reinforce the already existing render force to protect their resources. we have also improved on a wire oh detection mechanism. our discussions units has acquired equipment to detect. we left crime unintelligence, they cannot detect and to prevent it's also vital. she sees that the pushes are

coat and convicted in 2019. the government drastically increased the penalties for poaching or treading protected animals. this particular law has given us breeders for at least as they commit offenses, the criminals know what is coming for them. if we happen to get them, you're going to now has a special court dedicated to cases involving poachers and a legal trafficking of protected animals and animal products. and the punishments a severe that was just recently an ivory trader was given a life sentence. for me, that is a be give me because all of us as a chain contributor to that we have a court which was designated to handle wildlife related cases. that's even a big achievement for me previously used to grapple,

competing with other cases in court. other very important cases of mud freezes or whatever. you can imagine that reason is competing with the wildlife case, which one will be given priority to be had. margaret customer sees that she and her colleagues from the wife authority, i know big listen to. and both the politicians and the courts know that their commitment to their crunch is wildlife has benefits for the entire country. recent years of seemed elephant population gradually recovering. at the same time, there's also been a slight increase in the number of endangered mountain gorillas. my brit costume is now looking forward to the endangered white train. okay. so no sir, reappearing where it belongs, but kinda wired from one strong woman to the next from margaret because so bar elizabeth moran was born in pennsylvania. she is the executive secretary of the un convention on biological diversity and how to repeatedly pointed out the impact

of biodiversity laws on economies, on societies, over 50 percent of the global economy. all depends on in talk ecosystem for africa . thought don't we talk recently? ah, made it in the what is that own? in the sense that is the foundation of life is foundation because our life is dependent on biodiversity. when the bend on by their vest there for the food we eat there, why don't we drink their sequestration of carbon? but this foundation is under threat, says elizabeth rema. she's hoping for a paris moment for the protection of biodiversity, a reference to the global climate goals agreed in paris in 2015 by the end of the

century, around a 1000000 species could be extinct. the loss of main vest is reached. 9 unprecedented level in the history of humankind. 75 percent of the land globally is degraded. 6, their 6 percent of their marine environment is degraded. 8 to 5 percent of white lands granted or disappeared. 50 percent of koreans have disappeared. and all these degradation pollution here, not even mentioning the plastic how we chalk the ocean with plastics is all as the result of human action. the effects of climate change can now be seen in floods, drought forest fires, and heat waves, disasters them. rema says, are the main driver of biodiversity loss for many years. they will head focused on

climate change and focused on climate change completely independent from the loss of my it a visit. but now, or in the recent years, the world has realized that you cannot deal with climate change without looking at loss of my diversity. around 50 percent of global g d p is dependent on nature. so if we don't protect bio diversity, we're putting our own livelihoods and lives at risk center reports that were indicated that. c 75 percent of all imaging infectious disease, as in humans, as though not dig in nature, though not dick, in the sense that they are closely connected or young with the health of the ecosystem. in 97 percent of the loss of biodiversity is caused by human beings, our actions and you've called it named in has not taught us a lesson because we're also species. if we are not car careful,

we will live all perished with the coffee. grandma says she's frustrated to see how ecosystems have been destroyed during years of an action and slow decision making. and we need to act now, not if he's tomorrow, the tipping points will live reached. we are in a late sightings now and to date it's really shocking to see how much via diversity can be lost in just a few decades even years. the forty's almost all of us play some putting that either directly or indirectly, whether we are aware of it or not. does right sondra in france for example. owens, come on, fish is disappear in due to human activities. now it's getting help from a local business. king to help preserve the regions fragile ecosystems ha.

now across france, it was a summer of unprecedented droughts, weeks with no rain. and in many places, massive forest fires. animals suffered to as streams and ponds dried up. that's having long term consequences for the countries waterways. in the jack's region, fishermen are concerned about the state of their local trout stocks. so they've launched a program to breed child insecure pools, where there's always enough fresh water and nets to protect the fish from predators . when the child reach a certain size, their transfer to streams that have enough water all year round,

the fish can follow their usual migration patterns and hopefully breed in the wild . ready to see if all the ideal conditions were fulfilled for the fish to reproduce naturally in the river. we'd be delighted, and we'd be the 1st to let nature have its way to fill in this year there releasing a ton of trout into the wild, but everyone here hopes that one day the breeding program will no longer be necessary. and how about you? if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your stories. all next, reports also comes from europe pastime gemini. but it also concerns the awning tended side effect of upsetting the balance of naturally occurring processes.

earth warms, which are found almost everywhere in the world, i integral to agriculture, and therefore essential to our survival. our school in berlin is making sure students understand the importance of these humboldt and often overlooked creature . a special lesson is getting underway at this fell in primary school. and it's one where spades come in handy. this class learning about an animal, most of us rarely see that which is critical for our survival. yeah. as a right rigley and slimy earthworms aren't the type of animals humans typically enjoy getting close to. but these children know it's worth taking a closer look to as that list is in has 1st i thought they're probably really boring and stupid. they're probably like a snail really slow, but now i find

a really cool mrs. awkward position as anxious counselors. i find them really funny because, for example, when they're on your hand, some move really quickly and others slowly and sure absolutely got earthworms are industrious, invertebrates they play a key role in many of the mostly unseen processes that go on in the ground beneath our feet. in places where there are native species like syrup, the vital for soil and plants. how much wednesday rate make her plants don't go back without them. birds wouldn't have anything to eat kind of football school. i'm not home class teacher paula. this has handed out your work sheets about the nutrients cycle. it explains our 2 arms eat up dead plants and animals and convert them into theses called casts, which are rich in the nutrients that plants need to thrive. glitter hopes her pupils will learn to appreciate the tiny creatures in suzanne, in my opinion,

they should understand the big picture that everything is interconnected. and if i behave well here and a mindful and respectful tool living beings implants, and of course, i also have a much better, more livable environment for this research facility near the german city of hallow find just a studying the damage done by modern day intensive farming practices over sprawling area. they're looking at houses. oil life says when land is managed in other ways, both in today's climate and the predicted, warmer world of the future. this crop land creates very unfair road conditions for because it's fertilized regularly, which is what i don't like that very delicate skin. and if the litigation last, the page value of the soil gets it gets more acidic and also it's, it's a monoculture, right? so that's just one type of plan that they eat. and yet it creates a very,

very static environment. ecologist, mary's intimate is taking a coil sample to check for life. the ongoing drought in the region has pushed down earth when numbers across all lunges types. by now we haven't found very many years, one very, very small one, not the phone for now. in recent years, the intensively farmed plots have been all but earth when free. that's a bad sign because that presence is widely seen as an indicator of soil fertility. and grassland plots like this pasture that's grazed twice a year by sheep, as well as organically farmed plots, earthworm numbers, a higher. so metals that and that, and taylor high diversity that have many different grasses, many different tabs, different legumes. back at the school garden, the children are putting into practice exactly that. looking after the soil means

looking after the earth worms and the rest of the soil organisms that turn seats into sustenance. almost everything can be recycled. when we put our minds to it, what create an incentive for getting everyone to participate is important. if we hope to see a real progress. well right, j nigeria, a program has been set up that encourages people to recycle in exchange for something that's often on affordable for many medical care at last, jerome woodall can share his concerns with the doctor for a long time. now he has been suffering from abdominal pain. now the long awaited consultation is finally happening. like many poor nigerians, he can't really afford to see a doctor. he's never had health insurance because it was too expensive for him. he then had of

a way that he could still get insurance without paying anything. thanks to a status called social care. i did not come with a cobalt budget and it's the old motor battery. and the plastic waste that i donated to them did today. and they gave me the form to come here and do the check up. and you can see they gave me the drugs union, so i am very happy for them. very happy social care has been around since the end of 2019. it was founded by non so upper room that he was troubled by the widespread plastic pollution in nigeria and was also looking for a way of giving people access to medical care. just 3 percent of nigerians have health insurance. so we did a how can we use one problem which is plastic the food environment to solve the problem, which is asked frontier. okay. that we could, this is okay. i see where formulas or pupils of another healthcare, whether they have cash on the door, half cash that when they come bring you recycling. the system is pretty

straightforward. people with no money, collect recyclable waste. 5 kilograms of plastic can anew health insurance for a month? one car battery, we'll get to a years cover. and what has gotten around about this kim, when they introduce the assess to me, i speaking trophy, alicia france. and i big in the hotel at banks in the back of our laundry streets, the meg district in i have on island road. and as they brought, i measured, i bid them also they dental hospital and we are thinking, my god about not being 2 bits of the collected worst is sold to recycling companies . that's how fossil care finances. the insurance company has around 7 and a half 1000 customers, but in the next 5 years, it's non so oper room wants to offer insurance to around a 100000000 people. half of the country's population. one thing we want to do is to

change public behavior under cyclic, as well as public behavior i'm viewed entrust on the shars burden. in any case, jerome goodwill is happy that he now has a health insurance examination revealed that he has gus treaties. now, he can even afford the medication. what a terrific program it can be said often enough without recycle or reuse in what we already have and learning how to use our limited resources more efficiently, will make our problems worse. so shall crease. just consider water which is essential or life, but of course africa the rains have become unpredictable. they may come as heavy dung paws to lead on not at all. up to 90 percent of households in southern london are affected by drought. pushing the government to take action. it's been

a long time since that is a white glove. commer had enough water. this community just over a 100 kilometers south of land, a capital kigali is desperate for rain. it's a major punishment for people he talks has enough what up for themselves and their lifestyle. and the precious little that's available is not clinical. yeah, marcia hunger term and it's difficult to find water in this area. dummy underneath this water from the marsh is like gold for my animals, even though it's too dirty and the other farmers take their animals 15 kilometers from here to draco ramos. when there has been had hit by climate change, while it would be did heavy rainfalls in some parts is causing it. ocean the south and east of the country are suffering from drought into galley, lays growing on sun about the situation. it effects of good shape towards that is that the prolonged drugs, broom, dro space or drives up the rivers dry up to where it is driven up to the springs

that were there. and that one comes to shoot children in an effort to provide clean drinking water during the frequent dry spells, the government has launch a comprehensive program to dig new boards the you and international find affordably . cultural development is boiling around a tin. mindy and you as dollars into the project, it's a huge undertaking. depending on whether you have mac lay bent, soil or rock, it can take a long time to heat brown water. so the engineers drill at is to well, every 100 meters to sound out conditions. a team of experts examines destroyed here in could gale in east and run that they need to decide and that out. blessed carbohol's, not everywhere has water available for a gun. if that's the point though, that double area is the lot right. now we are really, we are 150 meters there for the order. devote most of the

are ipad, another meter. georgie? not a little that your the budgets with this time the tim is lucky and fans groundwater local residence, no solid there. what is about what i will be over. once the ball is ready, it will sum up to 500 families and as sent them a lot of time. often we leave our houses at midnight to fetch water and walk for more than 2 hours to get there. so you can understand how precious water is to us. i'm happy we have water nearby. we'll be able to drink whenever we went and wash ourselves at stanford and back to the co, my south of the capitol tia and you will, is already in use solar panels, the power, the pump, a saving money and easing the bad in on the environment. when

a new ball is deb alicia dental received instructions on how to maintain it, as well as on 7 water groundwater results and not endless. render population is growing and the dry season are getting longer. more balls mean more grandpa will be used as some way shocker. explains, he heads up nearly formed a water 7 club in got coma. i'm a foot and we have we had, he had within his law, we just got to get a good idea. look, we have we have, we must protect this site. how's it going? as the firstly and every one is responsible for protecting it was crucial 1000. what would you know? we should protect it as i would protect our own eyes, really just secondly, but what we have to know how to use the water without wasting it is free and we should always use it efficiently to preserve what's left in the ground. it to ne, a fresh water is now available. what for the people and their livestock? in the past, many animals died because of drought or from drinking their polluted water in pools

and streams article. there's a remarkable change in the health of our animal unhappy, they can drink the water at any time, more holes, and they put on weight, which is really nice and having a lesson is the u. n. c is only 57 percent of one does around population has access to a want to supply that within 30 minutes of their home. a number of new bottles and now planned. but there will need to be a lot more if all residents and their lives looks at again, easy access to clean water. what's the situation like where you leave? are they effective recycling programs? is water been used efficiently? right. tell us about it. we'll look forward to receiving your comments. i'm chris l . m simon, off from ogen state nigeria. bye for now. please see you next week, and that goes for you of you as to in the meantime,
