use it sustainably power level. firstly, every one is responsible for protecting, as was jeff. secondly, but what we have to know how to use the water without wasting it. eco africa next on d w. ah, oh, what people have to say matters to us. mm. that's why we listen to their stories reporter every weekend on d w. ah yeah, would we be without bio diversity? probably extinct without bio diversity,

the entire support system for all living things would completely collapse. that's why we must do all we can to protect hits. welcome to echo africa. i'd crease 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 sunday twin of you, and here is what else we have coming up. home. plastic trash is helping people get healthcare in nigeria. how hungry our forms are ensuring kelsey and how of what a management program is stuck in the effects of drugs in london. we start the shore writer in uganda, which is home to an abundance of wide life, from convenience and advances 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 these for her and her 2 more rangers working for the going to what life authority. this is a real moment of relax issue. they frequently put their lives on the line in order to protect the countries wide life. margaret cassandra is at the vanguard of the fight against butchers in uganda. national parks had you're busy, highly dangerous one. sometimes we are confronted with people who are equally armed like us, like the porch us. we have, i'm a porchie. sometimes people come in and to,

to get to the and was that they once. 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 buck 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 thing involved in the french or facing, including wildlife, trafficking, poaching, illegal entry into the park, and others the ranges of to keep pressure and poachers. by maintaining and much

rose across the national parks. you're going to 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 censure. uganda is the proud home of the only wilds. so them white trainers in the country. the $33.00 animals, i get it by range. as i round 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, a detection mechanism. our discussions units has acquired equipment to detect. we left cram 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 increase the penalties for poaching or treading protected animals. this particular law has given us breathing space, 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 until just recently an ivory trigger was given a life sentence. for me, that is, if he gave me because all of us as a chain contributed to that we have a court which was designated to handle wildlife related cases that have had

a big achievement for me previously will use it to grapple competing with other cases in court, other very important cases of mud freezes on whatever you can imagine at reason case, competing with the wildlife case, which will be given proto, to be had. my great customer sees that she and her colleagues from the wildlife authority, i know, been leasing 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, i've seen the 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 trainer. so no sir, reappearing where it belongs. but kinda wired from one strong woman to the next from margaret, because somebody elizabeth marine was born in from vanya. she's 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 done. we thought recently, ah, made it in the what is that own? in the sense that c, d is the foundation of life, is foundation because our life is dependent on biodiversity. when the bend on my divest there for the food we eat there, why don't we drink their sequestration of cub on? 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 events is reached unprecedented level in the history of humankind. 75 percent of the land globally is degraded. 66 percent of their marine environment is degraded. 8 to 5 percent of white lands be granted or disappeared. 50 percent of glories 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 in 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 a 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. under reports, indicated that 75 percent of all imaging infectious disease as in humans, as though not dig in nature 0. now dig in their sense that they are closely connected or linked with the health of the ecosystem. 97 percent of the loss of biodiversity is caused by human beings. our actions, if you've covered, 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 their pocket. 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 have reached we are in the late. so it is now in today. 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 reach and fishermen are concerned about the state of their local trout stocks. so they've launched a program to breed trout insecure pools where there's always enough fresh water and nets to protect the fish from predators. when the child reach a certain size,

they're transferred to streams that have enough water all year round. the fish can follow their usual migration patterns and hopefully breed in the wild. she, 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. they are 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. past eg, doing your bit we share your stories. all next reports also comes from europe pastime gemini. but it's 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 social 2 are so bible. a 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 bell 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. actually written as a right rigley and slimy earthworms aren't the type of animals humans typically enjoy getting close to that 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 that really, oh, this is our quick as ition as anxious counselors. i find them really funny because, for example, when they were on your hand, some move really quickly and others slowly and 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 did they when they re tele, may car plants don't go long without them birds wouldn't have anything to eat kind of football school. i'm not home class teacher paula. this has handed out work sheets about the nutrients cycle. it explains howard worms eat up dead plants and animals and convert them into theses called casts, which are rich in the nutrients that plants need to thrive. chrissa hopes her pupils will learn to appreciate the tiny creatures and i design improve them. in my

opinion, they should understand the big picture that everything is interconnected. and if i behave well here and mindful and respectful to living beings implants, and of course i also have a much better, more livable environment in this research facility near the german city of how to find just the studying, the damage done by modern day intensive farming practices over sprawling area they're looking at how social 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 work conditions for them 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 plans 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 as well numbers across all lungess types. i now we haven't found very many years, one very, very small one that we found 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 in 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 so 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? it's important if we hope to see a real progress. well, righty a 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 cobo but it, it's the old motor battery and the plastic waste that i donated to them today. and they gave me the form to come here and do the checkup and you can see they gave me the drugs union so i am very happy for them. so so care has been around since the end of 2019. it was founded by non so upper room, mitchell. he was troubled by the white spread 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 how can we use one problem which is plastic the food environment to solve the problem which is asked frontier, okay. then we could, this is okay. i say we're formulas of pupils of another healthcare. when we have

cash on the door, half cash, that when they come bring it recycling. the system is pretty straightforward. people with no money, collect recyclable waste. file kilograms of plastic cont, 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 thinking trophy, love it. that is our friends. and i big and the hotel at banks in the back of our laundry streets, the meg district in i have one island new school broke. and as they brought, i measured, i bid them also they dental hospital and we are thinking, my god about lobbying towards bits of the collected west 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 essentially all 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 here. talks has enough water for themselves and their lifestyle. and a precious little that's available is not clean. yeah, marcia hung up to him or not. 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 repeated heavy rainfalls in some parts is causing it. ocean the south and east of the country are suffering from drought, empty gallop lays growing on sun. i bard, the situation. the defects of gravity toward that is that the prolonged draughts

barone, dro space, or drives up the rivers dry up to where it is driven up to the springs that were there. and in that one comes she charles, 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 as to well, every 100 meters to sound out conditions. a team of experts examines destroying here income gail in east and one that they need to decide and that out. bless. carbohol's. not everywhere has water available for reagan adaptable area right now. we are really,

we are 150 because there are the order. deborah, most of the president are. if other other meetings, georgie, not to do that little that your the budgets with this time the team is lucky and fines groundwater local residence, no solid there wide, 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. i thank god i meant to call 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 doug, it is the dental received instructions on how to maintain it, as well as on 7 water groundwater results and not unless render population is growing and the address is on 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 nga coma. i'm a firm believer we had he hm. if in law we just got to get a little idea of how much liquid have we have, we must protect this site house here. we'll go and get that firstly and every one is responsible for protecting it was crucial funds. 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 on the ground 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 and huffy, they can drink the water at any time, more holes, and they put on weight, which is really nice and having a wilson is the you and sees 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 boards and now planned. but there will need to be a lot more if all residents and their lives looked 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 look forward to receiving your comments. i'm chris alam simon, off from oregon state nigeria. bye for now. please see you next week and that

goes for you of us 2. in the meantime, don't forget to chicken with us on all our social media platforms. it's been nice to have you with us today. i am sandra reno video saying good bye from counselor here in uganda, scenic street. oh, a, a . with
