think a crease. it is true that they are lords of encouraging projects underway to help restore and also protect nature or be showing his some of them in the next half hour. i am sandra, twin over here in camp la gender. on here is a preview of what's in store. passenger boards in labels help residents circumvent traffic jams. pulpits in germany are transformed into natural or says and solar part is changing rule life in love with god. going to school every single morning is routine for many children, but for merkel and caesar, it is fundamental to the survival. they are all fund chimpanzees in guinea torching, and the destruction of habits have shrunk, she populations, now thousands have been orphaned. and some species or even facing extinction. the
2:32 pm
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 is 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 nearby barley cause a restaurant so that the main causes of chimpanzee extinction at the destruction of their habitat, due to human activities and poaching secrecy. broken people kill them with
2:33 pm
no regard for the law that protect sir solder spec. 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 stack with a breakfast of fruits and ginger tea to combat the cold. a routine health and 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
2:34 pm
the wild. la hoarded bramble w, the forest is important for the chimpanzees. we walk with them through the forest to little they can get used to it as it is, their habitat to brother. here they can find food and a place to sleep for her brutal mother. but for local and his faults to attend to the forest. they need large open spaces to hang out in yet human activities like agriculture and logging are destroying the national park, but also 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 i thought by educating the local community, you know, it because it's a community that's destroying the environment. so these people need to be educated and sensitized really, and i get it all fish all over it. that's very,
2:35 pm
very important for a project like this one, as it is important does approach a conspiracy in the center have launch different projects to raise environmental awareness within the communities. leaving in the puck among them is a weekly radio show. i mean, if informed listeners about the pac flora and fauna, it's natural resources and how to protect them, you know, do you need occasional program at primary school inside the park also teaches future generations about the importance of conservation and the threat chimpanzees faith. since it's taught in 2019 more than 700 students have taken part in this walk. so the point was the program around this program in schools to children wildly young. if you truly can grow up with the idea and also pass this information on to others
2:36 pm
to protect the environment, while i'm going on a 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 association, the center has created lasting employment opportunities and launched a plastic recycling project which supports more than 300 women. because on this level, we make so class and now we also recycle plastic bugs and turned them into laptops please, or little passes. we also saw shopping bugs for the women, so they don't buy plastic bug at the market anymore. i still practice or market. it's a win win solution. these projects provide locals with a steady income, raise environmental awareness, and ease the pressure on the ecosystem and could soon give mark or cesar and their
2:37 pm
fellow chiefs, enough place 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 matters has devastated landscapes all over the world in germany, a number of regions and having to cope with the gulping horse left by open peat lick night mines. now one for my industrial hub and nibbling over some hope that a transformation and restoration are indeed possible. the east german village of course, caution is puzzling with some of visitors. it's just 150 kilometers south of berlin and not far from the polish border. the bikes offered at a cat hoyle, cost rental are in high demand, with visitors came to explore the region. what is that side of the st. cedar is finally going for
2:38 pm
a spin. it's been idle. old i wikker started his business year 20 years ago. back then, no one believed that this region of lucio 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 mu landscape like this. the locals thought, echoed jolla was crazy. down the road to get fog was marsden sykes did lloyd you rouge are people kept asking, what do you do? shows people the whole. so the mood was different. back in the wall, i was still a lot of pits from the open charged minds, which i thought some ball. today locals are proud of what's happened here. as i'm showing the vast open pits are gradually being transformed into europe's largest lake landscape. once complete, the lu zation lake district will cover 350 square kilometers. it's helping now's,
2:39 pm
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 forma open cast. mine is slowly being flooded by groundwater. this is shown was designed was really, it's really something special. their guns. i mean my, how many people can show you a common lightly new landscape dogwood. so for example, if everything goes as planned, this will be finished by 2025 god willing to leave us. the show has been developed and stabilized over fall. there's still some work left to do over there and all that should take another year or 2 of the one in its prime, the coal industry and allows its employed 80000 people. but in the late 19 ninety's, the energy sector in germany was restructured. dozens of unprofitable mines were
2:40 pm
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 on them 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 are not too acidic for wildlife and full swim us. last year, more than 30000 tons were required to balance p h lentils. then there is maintenance and risk assessment work carried out by g. u. engineers like phillips auto, 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
2:41 pm
a cruise, lish, oscar new 3rd, which is huge, wave was triggered artificially. so that land areas could be moved in a very effective way. if there's a landslide happening underneath moving further and further back and it's these forces that create the sudden wave on his india at the bottom here, we see trees are knocked over like matched eggs. there are very powerful forces at work of ism goodbye to go curved on mirror 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 zoo. nami, like wave that drive us only just rescued in time. come and go to his work. we'll take generations. we still have to make 30000 acres of land safe as part of the basic reconstruction work. we need to develop certain technologies, like non invasive blast,
2:42 pm
induce 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 an industrial past that visitors want to learn about be it on this old convey a bridge now surrounded by parks, off renewable energies or on is 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 now's it's, are still having on the land in good the good norm zia, if i see it myself at the landscape was being destroyed thus i hope that someone
2:43 pm
will develop better storage capacities for renewables to increase their uses. was this over exploitation not the future than the martin? this between 40 and 45 percent of germany's energy comes from renewables. fossil fuels like brown coals, 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 useful other countries that still have that path ahead . well, very interesting. vacationing in a formal cold peaks. how cool is that? and if it helps the transition from the fossil fuels, then i'm all for it. i agree, sandra, 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
2:44 pm
a few 100 kilometers from gem, his border in poland. an old ro house was converted with astonishing results. ah, good one prefab apartment block among many in poland stands out for surgery, car stop here and the people take photos. it is pretty unusual. it was awful to them about it. i'd also recommend trying this to everybody. i know in the movies to buildings, residents are quite relaxed about the coming winter a little bit for books. i enjoy looking at the generator. it makes electricity and money up from the beginning of the hands of, of shit. know is a small town in southern missouri, a it has one attraction,
2:45 pm
a 19 seventies prefab at number 12 stone scares street. the balconies sporting solar panels were added on in september. head of the residence association. stickney of krakowski makes his routine rounds. hello, good afternoon. nobody's here, nobody. hello, hello. i just wanted to see if for installation is working properly. that was proven. everything's all right on my end, no scratches it was built in correctly. but right now i'm cold, not velasco, all right, dylan. 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 our building managers. the idea for the innovative energy system came from a simple lack of cash. for the upper growth, it was a tragedy hit the exile, the power company put us under financial pressure. believe me,
2:46 pm
i did asked him to let his pay installments version of it. 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. so 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 residents. 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. while everyone else is turning the heat down, they're staying toasty warm, whereas love ya did recently, i was talking to my neighbor. she asked me, well, have you received the increases or them i also have one increases as well. the
2:47 pm
utilities increases. i stuck? no, we haven't been getting those for quite some time now. up with the detective. stanny suave, a. keeps her home and a comfortable 22 degrees celsius. but she could keep it warmer, too. oh, my son tells me, oh, it's always nice and warm feeling. even in summer, if 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 saves nearly 70 tons of c o 2 more than their neighbors. so go to corporate phases of if we did this to other apartment blocks, and there are $25000.00 in all of poland, couple more than imagine how much we would save for the shipping. from some,
2:48 pm
a 40000 people die every year from the smog. i'd still be alive as a liberal of smoke. libby stickney of krakowski is hoping as 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 though, 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 tropic jams, which pollutes the air and try residents, patience. but it doesn't have to be that way. check how this weeks doing your bits. ah, 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,
2:49 pm
the wallet bone to me to roof 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. rather, the rug would be 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 everybody was going to walk away from him buck also. so i'm look at mystery and if more of the 5000000 car owners and legos switch from road to boat travel, it would benefit the environment. ah,
2:50 pm
at the moment we are trying to reduce our insurance, which is coming well for work trust issue. 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 lagos is so bad, traveling over water, can save you 30 hours a week. and tell about you. if you are also doing your bit, tell us about it. this is hell websites both send us the tweets hash tag doing your best we shall, you'll still res. on next report is also about reducing emissions. when anti villages are not yet connected to the pod grade, residents often have to rely on diesel generators and toxic kerosene lamps.
2:51 pm
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 gonna the light from the solar lamp extends to dana. good evening for these boys. people here say so the lamps on the way of the future until now. so regina honey, lucy, i to rely on kerosene or hyphen oil lamps, the light of which is decidedly weaker and old style lamps of other disadvantages to the kerosene lamp produces, smell, are not too hot in using the smoke mixers or solar lamps are better drying up now, those ma'am stuffer, the man who supplies a solar lamps,
2:52 pm
he found the angio social lines wants to replace fossil fuel lamps in the villages with solar once it's all financed by donations from students from new york develop the technology and lucifer and his fellow campaigners. im 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 use 40 hours. if it is on the high. ready it has to be revamped, if it's being used in a countryside, the lamps are built to be maintenance free. have a long life. the people in the community, this light in the unit, sometimes more than a week before the go to judge why we normally insist that this linton is charge
2:53 pm
wise route so that the battery life will be maintained. the energy for the villages land cars from this roof. a solar panel feeds the 12, so the net volunteer. so one rug comfort has been trained to run the system. 12 lamps can be recharged simultaneously, but enough electricity left a charge of fuel cell phones. i t killed the soonest system and the luncheons in this community, when someone wants to recharge, they bring it to to do a lot of it goes villages around half a dollar a month to johnston, so lamps and cell phones as them tears in lamps. even those were short of money benefit from the news technology drove. it also helps to protect the environment and we take any pru just like me. so yeah,
2:54 pm
being so gum or even charcoal, because not everyone in the village has ready cash for 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 so hard to him about it. one of gunner's 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 innocent finance and why sophisticated like both areas. so we did 12 or system or 2024 with them. can me see just like lighting in 2018 and and then for just the quality of service in washington, and it's just, it was in europe when the battery,
2:55 pm
the especially when charged electricity is useful. simple pleasures watching the film, naps, and highlights with our system that also charged the console cinema. we have a project that we add to the system, but depending on the communities request, we, i did and we can show it moving the night we got into the can use the facility to so instead, tim themselves of the solar lamps and 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 briefly 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 morgan state signing off time for me to say good bye as well, but be sure to check us out on, on social media platform. so we can stay in touch,
2:57 pm
2:58 pm
some young children walk in mind jobs instead of going to class. others can attend classes only after they finish working with millions of children, all over the world can't go to school. we ask why? because education makes the world more just make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, some people don't care about me because they don't see my beauty. some people don't care about me because they think i have nothing to give. but 2000000000 people due to then i am everything
2:59 pm
3:00 pm
ah ah ah, this is d, w is life from ban china planning a no fly zone north of taiwan. this follows recent to military drills and the region will bring the latest from our correspondent in taipei, also on the program. u. s. president. jo, by these kind of breaks 25 years of peace in northern ireland and it is all parties to remember past sacrifices as they are aim to preserve future peace german government.
