from great god main ideas to critical issues like posted. but 1st, let's see. hello, sandra. alexandra hi, breeze greetings from uganda and nice to be with you again. olivia view is the hub doing us today. i am sunday between nobody of best in you've done this coffee to come put up. well, environmental show is brought to you by dw, in germany, tennessee, the image area, and mtv right to. and you, good. well, here is a what we have for you today. the people's building during the gardens to sample space and west in uganda. so wanting to nature, to making the construction industry more sustainable on securing a better future for us and she lives in guinea. we can go with a big problem that affects many countries in africa. poaching the huge

illegal and then just strength in wildlife fonts is typically very difficult to reinforces to just it's now a sense that in south africa has met the it's nation to tones to light on wildlife crime by fighting fortune with forensic science. it's an old to come inside in south africa is reserves. ryan of killed by perches open to find the object it killed him. it's often the 1st clue to catching the cooper. but it requires a lot of new house, an expert, then short supply. reg simpson is taking on the boat is butchering wildlife here since most of these crimes and never persecuted the founder, that academy that helps train ranges another 1st responders, wildlife crime scenes about the importance and, and trick is ease of criminal forensics. we realized that
9:33 pm
a lot of the people that 1st came across these scenarios were not initially trained in handling a crime scene in particular wildlife crime scene. and this certain skills that are really valuable in forensics is one of those skills. so we felt there was a great need and that training ranges and people that are 1st responders or even professionals that come across to nora's way when an animal is punched or is in another illegal activity. and if they have some of forensic skills, then it means that them, that, that investigation is more likely to end up in a prosecution at court. at this facility, the academy assimilated several different wildlife crime scenarios based on real world examples, including a snare drums, a lion killed by community members, and the rhino poach was horn students, a trained and forensic techniques in order to preserve and collect vital evidence
9:34 pm
which can be used by authorities to move forward with legal cases in this environment, we can expose them to all these different scenarios so they can learn how to preserve and collect the forensic traces and document them correctly. so the lights are down the line, they end up with a successful prosecution in court. and that's what we've tried to create in this academy multiple scenarios, really drum and what that mean to learn. and so when they go back into the real world and much better at texting while that's one of the main challenges when it comes to wad live crimes, is that the generally occurred remote places. so of retros, cropland as fast as offers, coveted purchase will ambush their prey. the issue is while that comes from the on to any witnesses, there's no one else around uh maybe someone had a gunshot, but that's, that's what do you have. but if you actually can link someone to
9:35 pm
a con through something like a footprint or a cell phone to a weapon or dna, even that is really popular in court. often it's ranges as discovery, animal that's been approached. they need to be trained them. the initial response is there's risk of evidence being contaminated or destroyed by winful rain before the authorities can arrive on the scene. and that could make or break a case is challenges in court. i think it should be full hands on the ground. feel changes as well. um, because they often the ones who do come across the scenes before we do the i do think of something valuable for oranges to attend and to ask the applicant and submit as well. in addition to collecting evidence, students of the academy also take part in mock trials, whether you have to defend the evidence they've collected. the participants and
9:36 pm
disseminated quotes proceeding include former prosecutors, judges, or law enforcement officials. collecting evidence is the only 1st step and a long legal process. in real world cases, ensuring that evidence can hold up in courses vital training which to, to 1st responders and those and to, to understand the role. it will definitely have an impact in fighting while of crime, in the sense that it will lead to credible evidence which the prosecution can use in proving the elements of the offense against the practice. as pitching is a $1000000000.00 business in asia, one kilo ryan on sales for tens of thousands of us dollars. the financial incentive is huge, rhinos elephant reptiles and sunk in plants all pay the price will continue massage . the loss of life has profound impacts on the environment. these large
9:37 pm
megaphone at like 11, suppose they have a really important role to play in an ecosystem. as prompt, if is as large animals, they have an important role in shaping the environments and the habitats around them. they have a role in the disposal, nutrients, likely, and by removing these animals. and it's can lead to by diversity loss and changes and transformations of whole landscapes. in addition, it's kind of also leads to unintended impacts. full, full, increasing human wildlife conflicts and having for the impact something other hold tight feature in some ecosystem. last year, south africa, last 448 minus approaching incident bond. we also have a $130.00 wrist. and a number of convictions including one with a purchase was sent into 60 as in prison as wildlife primes continue. training and
9:38 pm
dealing with them become increasingly important to ensure that the countries biodiversity is protect. it will be returning to the subject of poaching a little later in the show. we've looked at how some of the trading victims of being rehabilitated. so do stay tuned for that. now it's time for a visit to a school right here in uganda with some innovative people's. are we focusing plastic to roll their own i shouldn't be getting there to see the screen item, the coverage you're going to that keeps you into bed and for all of the young farmers of said key to high school are successful the produce from their school farm is used to feed their entire student population. the students at the school on the outskirts of compiler, already grilled vegetables such as cabbages,
9:39 pm
raised chickens, and farm. the fish know they're collecting waste plastic bottles that they used to build vertical gardens in various farms. and to make the most, the remaining growing space use it helps us in the way that we plant a lot of different plants in need. we have this come all we to need. um, we have the tomatoes, the tv, you know, if you have a small environment the to them, some of us have poor above ground. but to these it can help us in the way. it takes a little space. one, both to building as a result garden with mushroom cultures and waste caught in husks for soil inside the harvested mushrooms are sliced and dried for storage. this is cynthia, i'm going to go way of using our spacing to invite them into web by we're trying to avoid all the different for us. got down let you finish cheese. they were doing
9:40 pm
this in development and the malware tied of it and have come of the solution through the projects the students are learning innovative, eco friendly and sustainable. growing practices, how to be self sufficient, and how to guarantee a healthy diet. and tell about you. if you also doing your bit, tell us about 2 visits. all websites will send us a tweaks hash tags doing your best. we share your story. this is now sweets, confidence on, took about a problem that affects us in africa to west in germany. the construction industry is responsible for around 50 percent of all west produced. few buildings are constructive, sustainable. so looking at how to change is that the idea is to establish
9:41 pm
a secular model. 2 o materials are reused or reposed. but how does that work? let us show you. these german buildings don't only look models, but they might also pay the wage was circular future. they are built according to the cradle to create a concept. the idea is to replace our cradle to grave economy, where we take making waste, with a circular one, where the products are designed in a way that its materials can be reused over and over again. normal, so fee grief on is the founder of the cradle to create a lab. it's an n g o dedicated to spreading circular, we generally give design thinking across industries. politicians and designers. welcome to the crate us a cradle app. you can come in here. we start here, if you see like from the labs that you can see, it's from a mushroom materials totally from biological cycles,
9:42 pm
according to the concept to note what so fee. gree funds, father michel brown got and his colleague william mcdonough created everything we build must go to either what they call the biological cycle or the technical cycle . that means the materials used to build the products need to decompose. that's becoming nutrients for the soil or dismantled to become what they call technical nutrients. and we used and other products. so we have an shows in here, right? you can see a lot of products that are already produced in a crate crate of manner. the flooring you can see if i move, i can actually take it with me. a prep pool that you don't need to do this. it is made out from miss packing materials. moving as an crated crane. not the best idea to do because it's quite difficult to disassembled the lab uses these carpets that
9:43 pm
are totally made of recycled fibers. not clued, and you can bring it back to the average company and they can just take a look and make it totally new carpet. all of us drove us of the refund argues that there are a lot of natural alternatives to most of our commonly used toxic products. this material it's quite interesting because it's like a mid to or is that you cannot just pay from the fee and to use it and you don't need extra to change it a lot. so called them to vowels are basically dead sea grass that could be collected on shores and used as a high quality installation material. all these examples seem perfect and relatively easy to implement. but we need to change the way we have built our homes and products for the past decades. 50 years ago, we knew that that negative environmental consequences if we have certain building habits. so in the beginning they had felt that v require new knowledge is to be
9:44 pm
able to build appropriately. but right now we have a different problem. professor arnold palmer condo is an award winning architect, mostly known for her sustainable projects, like these ones. when standardization is being imposed, then the must have the courage to question the limits of standardization. and the construction sector is especially standardized and rigorously conservative. some practices haven't changed in centrally is to concrete. for example, it's the 2nd most used material in the world, only after water. if it wasn't country, it would have been the world's 3rd largest carbon polluter after china and the u. s . last year we produced 4400000000 metric tons of concrete. according to the u. n's projections at this rate, we would be producing enough concrete to build the entire city of paris every week
9:45 pm
for the next 40 years. that is a lot of concrete. and for several reasons, this material is not widely recycled. a big one is standardized, bad practices says more so also a circular engineer focused on cradle to cradle applications in the construction sector. if you will, use adjectives, tests are all concrete to call people as wife sold april 5th. suppose i use the quantity of the call by not able to use it later. so chip, some plaster makes the concrete and recyclable. but a similar looking silicon base plaster doesn't affect every usability of the concrete or let's look at the steel a universally used material in construction that could have an infinite live cycle . just the simple decision to use bolted connections rather than welded joints would allow the structure to be dismantled, making it easier to we use the materials. it's all about designing smarter. while
9:46 pm
these individual solutions are amazingly easy to implement, unfortunately, they alone will not be enough to make the construction sector. environmentally friendly says no over so, fee can be fun. so we need the market, we need the politicians, and we need the society to go for these ideas. and i think we are already in a stage where our society sees that we need to do something different. so created to create a can show the solution. that's how this is actually possible. cradled cradle is not a miraculous idea. it's just a guide for us to think and builds inside goes just like nature does. it's something people love to talk about the complaint about or be happy about the weather. now a project in kenya is linking the weather full cost with environmental protection.
9:47 pm
that sounds simple and it is because when people can expect to rain, they can also prepare for rich. i mean, prove life and the neighborhoods using all the tools that their disposal, these volunteers are working to care what they can from this rubbish clogged the stream. if what the current flow through here, floods can quickly inundate this part of the bedrock can use. biggest slum whenever there is rain approaching and a low to send out from a, with a full cost app. what i mean, we have a little tiny has sent us a message wanting us that it might rain and that we should be red. they were not sure if it will actually rain, but we must be ready any phone on a bus to take appropriate measures. we want children not to play near rivers. we look out for 40 underground electrical wires and unplug the water drains so that if the rain comes, we will not be caught off guard. we also raised our belongings up off the floor in
9:48 pm
our homes. you are wicked teen wintering shall rings full of the consequences and keep bare it can be devastating. the slumber lies near the gong hills. on the west of the outskirts of nairobi, there's no sewage system here, and the 200000 residents can swiftly come on to threat. so 5 years ago, the kenyan weather service and several international organizations launched a project to improve flood protection missions. most of them are being affected with flash floods from going river because any gets hit anything going area. then most of the what does the drive through then going to be what that trans, pretty big informed was 15 minutes. most of them will be cut it that way, at least then nice due to the flats and even their properties. the weather service now sends the alerts via text message as well as emailed to ensure they also reach
9:49 pm
people who don't have a smartphone. and they also help people to understand the news. we're able to train them on how to interpret. we've recently seen that this information is very key to them because they need the for the day to day activities. planning of the day to be nice. so far, 24 community leaders and keep barret have received training. they are all part of the group, a cold weather, tiny village weather. since james karika completed the training, he's organized st. cleanups with the residents in his neighborhood. all of it on a voluntary basis. after getting the messages from their condemn address because department, we translated to a simple message that people can use. and again, that stands with 33 s m s, or what's up after we send it usually has it has a device. so the advice these is, is the one which people use in terms of extremely, extremely low. so flat d,
9:50 pm
james karika was given an award for his commitment. further boosting the projects growing visibility. as financial support increases, the team can upgrade their range of tools, the where the tiny founders hope the initiative will be adopted over q barrow. going to school every morning is a routine for many children. bought for marco and caesar, it's fundamental to the survival. they are often cheapens ease in getting poaching and the destruction of hobbits have shrunk champ, populations, 1000, something opens, and some species or even facing extinction. but champions the conservation st. uh in did this trying to help muckle and caesar leading the way to the bush federal funds, baby teams rescued from annual traffic cuz now they leave at the chimpanzee
9:51 pm
conservation center. essentially located in the motion on the back of upland nyja and is central guinea. so the country is home to more than $30000.00 wild west and chimpanzees, the largest population in the region. however, the numbers of basically shapes with whole we humans here more than 98 percent for genetic blueprint have declined dramatically in the last 20 years. then now critically endangered, the presley finally cause it aspect, so there's a main causes of chimpanzee extinction at the destruction of the habitats, due to human activities, and pushing st. lucie brooklyn people cuban with no, we've got for the lower dutch protect sonnus pick 10 and one in gimme gene palm fees are often pushed for them meet or sold as pets. sheets like michael hoping, seized by the employees, are brought to the center this century rehabilitate streams and then releases them

out in yet human activities like a guitar to and logging destroying the national park, but also sufficient healthy, happy, tough means just trying to change could be released since 2008. the, some of the costs are based on the chief funds. the conservation center contributes to species protection through rehabilitation and re introductions of it, but also by educating the local communities, seal it because it's the community that's destroying the environment. ok, so these people need to be educated and sensitized really and i get on a more adult fish all out of provider. that's very, very important for a project like this wednesday. so i'll set the example on the project. come st lucie minutes, you need this into have launched different projects. 2 ways, environmental awareness within the community is leaving in the park. among them is a weekly radio show. it's informed seriousness about the prox flora and phone up.
9:54 pm
it's natural resources and how to protect them, you know, do you need additional program a to primary school inside the park also teaches future generations about the importance of conservation and the threats to funds. these fees, since it's taught in 2019 more than $700.00 students have taken part in this workshops. a special who the one for the program that we're on these programs in schools to teach children while they are young. so they can grow up with the idea and also pass this information on to others to protect the environment. well, we've got the teams, habitat conservation, and education a crucial. what so is providing alternative sources of income that for most sustainable development locally along with the villages and to women's association, the center that has created lasting employment opportunities and launched
9:55 pm
a plastic recycling project which supports more than 300 women because of the trouble mix. so collections and now we also recycled plastic bugs and turned them into laptops, fees, or liquid passes. we also saw shopping box for the women, so they don't buy plastic bugs at the markets anymore. i've seen it, they, especially if left the market. it's a win win solution. these projects provide locals with this type of income, these environmental awareness, and ease the pressure on the echo system. and could soon give la cole caesar and defend a cheap enough place to go into while i hope they have a great life out in the wild burrows. it's time to say good bye. and i wish you all the best. thanks for being with us. the game i'm chris 11 and a sale. 1 for me here in uganda,
