and the destruction of habits have shrunk, she populations, now thousands have been orphaned, and some species are even facing extinction. the chimpanzee conservation center in guinea is trying to help mako and caesar are leading the way into the bush. they are often to be re chimps rescued from animal traffickers. now they leave at the chimpanzee conservation center is actually located in the national park of upper major in east central guinea. the country is home to more than 30000 wild western chimpanzees, the largest population in the region. however, the numbers of these great apes with whom we humans share more than 98 percent of our genetic blueprint have declined dramatically. in the last 20 years. they now

critically endangered new berkeley bol cause restaurant. so the main causes of chimpanzee extinction. at the destruction of their habitat, due to human activities and poaching, it was see broken, people kill them with no regard for the law that protects them or solder speak. dylan was in guinea. chimpanzees are often poached for their meat or sold as pets. chimps like marco hoping, seized by the authorities, are brought to the center this sanctuary, rehabilitated chimps, and then released them into the wild. around 60 great apes are currently living at the center, which is funded by international organizations and private donors. the teams day gets off to a swinging stacked with a breakfast of fruits and ginger tea to combat the cold. a routine health and
1:34 pm
psychological checkup pulls since they often arrived, suffering from health problems and trauma. then an excursion into the forest helps the young chimpanzees adapt to the wild. la horton graham warbler. the forest is important for the cheap ones. either we walk with them through the forest or to local, they can get used to eat before as it is their habitat to brother. here they can find food and a place to sleep or her brutal marcus, but for local and his faults, to return to the forest, they need large open spaces to hang out in. yet human activities like agriculture and logging are destroying the national park. the lawful sufficient healthy habitat mean just 20 chimps could be released since 2008 because it was on the chimpanzee conservation center contributes to species protection through rehabilitation and re introduction at rover. but also by educating the local community. feel
1:35 pm
it because it's the community that's destroying the environment. and so these people need to be educated and sensitized really, and i get on it don't face all over it. that's very, very important for a project like this one as represent puerto does approach a conspiracy. doesn't have launch different projects to raise environmental awareness within the communities, leaving in the park. among them is a weekly radio show. i mean, if informs listeners about the pac flora and fauna, it's natural resources and how to protect them. you're do need occasional program at primary schools inside the park also teaches future generations about the importance of conservation and the threat chimpanzees faith since it's taught in $21900.00. more than 700 students have taken part in this workshops.
1:36 pm
to the point was these the program around this program in schools to teach children wildly. if you truly can, grew up with the idea and also possible information on to others to protect the environment. no month to safe got the teams, habitat conservation, and education a crucial but saw is providing alternative sources of income that for more sustainable development. locally, along with the villages and to women's associations, the center has created lusting employment opportunities and launched a plastic recycling project which supports more than $300.00 women on travel it we make so class. and now we also recycle plastic bags and turned them into laptops. these are little passes. we also saw shopping bugs for the women, so they don't buy plastic bug at the markets anymore. the fact that crack or market it's a win win solution. these projects provide locals with a steady income,
1:37 pm
raise environmental awareness, and ease the pressure on the ecosystem. and could soon give me a call caesar and the fellow chiefs, enough face to go. ape in the wild. preserving habitats is one sink. but what teeth they have already been destroyed, we ask, can nature still be brought back? no, a hunger for materials has devastated landscapes all over the world in germany, a number of regions and having to cope with the gap and cause left by open pete lick night mines. no one for my industrial hub and nibbling over some hope that transformation and restoration are indeed possible. the east german village, of course, caution is puzzling with some of visitors. it's just 150 kilometer south of berlin and not far from the polish border. the bikes offered at a cat hoist rental are in high demand with visitors came to explore the region.
1:38 pm
what is that side of the st. cedar is finally going for a spin. it's been idle. old i wikker started his business here 20 years ago. back then. no one believed that this region off lucy, shya, or louse. it's as it's known and german could attract any tourists at all. the area was solely associated with a bronco industry. it was a moon landscape like this. the locals thought echoed jolla was crazy. down below your father was marsden sykes, did lloyd the router. people kept asking, what do you do showed people the whole so the mood was different. back then while i was still a lot of the pitts from the ivan charged mines, which typed on some ball. this one today locals are proud of what's happened here is i'm sure the vast open pits are gradually being transformed into europe's
1:39 pm
largest lake landscape. once complete, the lu zation lake district will cover 350 square kilometers. it's helping now's, it's transformed into a green holiday region with broad cycling lanes. hotels and landmarks like the rusty nails, which serves as a reminder of the regions industrial past. from the top of the tower visitors can observe another new lake in the making. the former open cast mine is slowly being flooded by ground. water is showing vast biz and was really, it's really something special. their guns. i mean my, how many people can show you how come and lightly new landscape hog? what of if everything goes as planned? this will be finished by 2025. god willingly thought the show has been developed and stabilized over thought. there's still some work left to do ivory and all that should take another year or 2 of the one in its prime,
1:40 pm
the coal industry and allows its employed 80000 people. but in the late 19 nineties, the energy sector in germany was restructured. dozens of unprofitable mines were closed. 90 percent of the work has lost their jobs. one in 5 people left the region . only full open cars mines remain active in laws. it's today, but that days unknown, but to germany has pledged to phase out coal completely by 2000 said he 8, transforming this mining landscape caused the german state upwards of 250000000 euros last year alone. between 199-220-1610 point 2000000000 euros was spent. lime needs to be added to the lakes to ensure they're not too acidic for wildlife and full swim us. last year, more than 30000 tons were required to balance p h levels. then there is maintenance and risk assessment work carried out by g. u. engineers like phillips.
1:41 pm
so a towel is this job to ensure that then no land slides. after decades of digging the soil as more loose and can be moved more easily by groundwater if it rises quickly on a cruise, lish, oscar luther, which is huge wave was triggered artificially. so that land areas could be moved in a very effective ways in there's a landslide happening underneath moving further and further back. and it's these forces that create the sudden wave on his in at the bottom here we see trees are knocked over like matched egg. there are very powerful forces at work of ism goodbye to good customer officials only one to these kind of land slides to happen in control circumstances in 2010 this area. so a natural landslide, which is why entries now unauthorized back then several trucks were drowned in the zone, ami like wave that drive us only just rescued in time. come and go. no, this work will take generations. we still have to make 30000 hackers of land safe
1:42 pm
as part of the basic reconstruction work, we need to develop certain technologies, like non invasive blast induced compaction to strengthen the soil. the transformation from what the landscape once was to what it is now is radical, and there's no blueprint on how to do this work. another vision that has come true is the transformation of louse. it's into a tourist destination. that combines green space is felicia. and in industrial past that visitors wanted to learn about b, it on this old convey a bridge now surrounded by parks of renewable energies or honest guided to a with people who are born here. like a cat hika. he observed the rise and fall of the brown coal industry for himself, and he's still shocked by the devastating impact that the last few mines left and
1:43 pm
now's it's, are still having on the land. in gordon, the good norm zia, if i, if myself, the landscape was being destroyed. thus i hope that someone will develop better storage capacities for renewables to increase their use as well. was this not over exploitation, not in the future than mcmakin. this between 40 and 45 percent of germany's energy comes from renewables. fossil fuels like brown coal, still play an important role, but the country is now paving the way for life after the cold. gemini has created a blueprint that could be of use for other countries that still have that path ahead. well, very interesting. vacationing in a former coal peaks. how cool is that? and if it helps the transition from the fossil fuels, then i'm all for it. i agree, sandra,
1:44 pm
and moving away from falsely feel doesn't just protect the environment. in some cases, it also saves money, especially when it comes to indoor heating in europe during the winter months. just a few 100 kilometers from geminus border in poland. an old ro house was converted with astonishing results. ah, good one prefab apartment block among many in poland stands out. but other procedures we have car stop here and the people take photos of it is pretty unusual. it was up to them about it. i'd also recommend trying this to everybody. i know the movie to buildings. residents are quite relaxed about the coming winter a little before, but i enjoy looking at the generator. it makes electricity and money up of that up
1:45 pm
of finance with shit. no is a small town in southern missouri, a. it has one attraction. a 19 seventies prefab at number 12 stone scare street. the balcony sporting solar panels were added on in september. head of the residence association. stickney of krakowski makes his routine rounds. hello, good afternoon. nobody said nobody. hello, hello. i just wanted to see if for installation is working properly, but was proven. everything's all right on my end, no scratches it was built in correctly. but right now i'm cold. lauderdale, up of all right, let me go back inside. the facade may be an acquired taste, but in the end, that secondary the former call seller, has been converted into an office for the 2 visionaries. as the residents called building managers, hope the idea for the innovative energy system came from
1:46 pm
a simple lack of cash for any of their progress. it was a tragedy hit the exotic the power company put us under financial pressure. believe me, i did asked him to let his pay installments or, you know, they just laughed at me. sh. no one will. you don't have any money. send you much of that. give me the impetus, go up in the me to blame you, brother. in spirit, outside of that was back in 2014. soon a thermal heat pump was installed in the cellar and a solar power system on the roof, all financed by loans from the void ship, and contributions from the residence. they succeeded in saving around 80 percent of the energy cost. they used the money, they saved the pay off the loans and even finance new projects, such as the balconies now the heat, the water, the residents of number 12 sloan scott street, are as good as immune to rising energy prices. well, everyone else is turning the heat down. they're staying toasty warm,
1:47 pm
whereas love ya did recently, i was talking to my neighbor. she asked me, well, have you received the increases or well, i also have one increases. well, the utilities increases. i stuck? no, we haven't been getting those for quite some time now. up with the directive. stanny suave a, keeps her home and a comfortable 22 degrees celsius. but she could keep it warmer. leo's, my son tells me oh it's always nice and warm. seeing even in summer as the days turned a little cooler now and then you can just send the heat on. i've already suggested that we trade places, and i think he'd actually do it. big me evan as deputy, may be so involved because they live here in the building and what started out as a financial motivation has since taken on aspects of climate and environmental consciousness. their building save nearly 70 tons of c o 2 more than their
1:48 pm
neighbors. so go to corporate frasier. if we did this to other apartment blocks under our $25000.00 and all of poland, couple more than imagine how much we would save this. but you chevy, defensive of some of 40000 people, die every year from the smog. i'd still be alive, isabella smoke, libby stickney of krakowski is hoping his fellow towns people will wake up and feel the heat. he's even thinking about running for mayor and the next elections converting, rethinking brick in old habits. these things are also happening here in nigeria, driving a call or taking a bus to work doesn't make sense in lagos, the city is struggling with traffic jams, which pollutes the air and try residents, patience. but it doesn't have to be that way. check out this week's doing your bits. ah,
1:49 pm
nobody here is going anywhere fast. it's rush hour in lagos. nigeria is largest city. these vehicles are clocking just 17 kilometers an hour on average. oh, the wallet, bon timmy? true. used to be a fisher, but in 1982 he became a boat builder. he makes both cargo and passenger vessels. businesses steady and demand is growing with. 2 the reason why so many people are buying boats these days, so is that water transport as faster than road transport? all because i mean by his biggest boats can hold up to 40 passengers a trip that takes 3 hours in bumper to bumper traffic. takes just one on the water . so can i think everything was going to be or i'll welcome buck also. so i will demonstrate and if more of the 5000000 car owners in lagos,
1:50 pm
switch from road to boat travel, it would benefit the environment. ah, at the moment, we are trying to reduce our insurance, which is coming well for worker's leticia. if we're really makes use of what that transportation is going to reduce our mission, going by boat costs a bit more than covering the same stretch by bus. but time is money, congestion in the goes is so bad. traveling over water can save you 30 hours a week. 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 shall, you'll still res. our next report is also about
1:51 pm
reducing emissions. when anti villages are not yet connected to the par, great residents often have to rely on diesel generators and toxic kerosene lamps. and that is very right, crease around 45 percent of the rural areas in ghana and not connected to the national park leads. the residents in the north of the country have come up with their own environmentally friendly solution. reading and learning at night is finally possible in the village of delingo and the upper west region of ghana. the light from the solar lamp extends to dana to the evening for these boys. people here say so the lamps are the way of the future. until now, so regina honey lucy at to rely on garrison or hyphen or lamps, the light of which is decidedly weaker and old style lamps. of other disadvantages to the kerosene lamp produces smell like not to cause it in using the smoke
1:52 pm
mix us. i sola lumps are better. so i got those ma'am stuffer. the man who supplies a solar lamps will be found at the end. geo. socialize world wants to replace fossil fuel lamp in the villages, with solar ones. it's all financed by donations from students from new york, develop the technology and lucifer. and as for campaigners and gonna supply the housing, he assembled most of the lamps himself using simple means a discarded cream, jaw, or handle may from bicycle, spoke about for wasting, completely changed. and it gives light about 200 r weiss. if it is light, lew, and gives 40 hours, if it is on the high it has to be repulsive. it's been used in a countryside. the lamps, a bill to be maintenance free, have a long life. the people in the community, this light and a unit,
1:53 pm
sometimes more than a week before the go to judge by we normally insist that this luncheon is charge wise route so that the battery life will be maintained. the energy for the villages, lamb cars from this roof, a solar panel feeds the 12 sullen mat volunteer to one rock comfort, has been trained to run the system. 12 lamps can be recharged simultaneously, but enough electricity left to charge a fuel cell phones. i t killed the solar system and the luncheons in this community. when someone wants to recharge, they bring it to to do it. when i would, i'm ready to. it goes villages around half a dollar a month to johnston, so lamps and cell phones as them tears in marvin lamps. even those were short of
1:54 pm
money benefit from the news technology drove. it also helps to protect the environment and we take any pru just like me. so yeah, being a gum. i even charcoal because not everyone in the village has ready cash from whatever renewable energy from the sun, wind, and geothermal energy make up just one percent of gone as electricity. but the west african country wants to achieve 10 percent fossil free energy production by 2030. according to use a barrick, one of gunners, lead in experts on renewable energy is going to require a major effort, especially in rural areas. he advocates focusing on simple solutions. most of the intervals finance and why sophisticated like both in the areas. so we did 12 or system or 2024 with them. can music music like lighting in for entertainment,
1:55 pm
and then for just the quality of service in washington. it's the same to me. in europe, when the batteries are especially well charged, electricity is useful. simple pleasures. once in a film and absolute highlights with our system that also charged in concert cinema, we have a project that we add to the system, but depend on the community request we added and we can show him within the night. we can use the facility to so in the, tim themselves of the solar lamps are most important moment fancy villages have been equipped to own solar systems, which now supply a total of 2000 households. a shining example in more ways than one. and then breaks our show to a close. i hope you enjoyed it and, but we'll see you again next week till then take care. i am chris alone from oregon
1:56 pm
