where their property overlooks the water is a wealth of opportunities and possibilities, but there is with a bit of imagination to say, i want to try something different. and this was the outlet. we would just want it to like, creative it to you and imagination. go into and what is just bashing fails into something full of life. what concerns lives from what nature provides their property is completely off the grid. instead of a washing machine, they have a makeshift hand power device, a small windmill and solar panels provide electricity. but when it's still or cloudy, power can be in short supply, everything is improvised and everything gets recently cold, even old cars. so this one we, we plant all seeds and we start all seeds going in there. and then this one with we've got a spare bedroom and so that so friends or family visits. so we started with

a host already. that was seemed to be the quickest way to create a habitable space. we needed a bit more space, so we decided we'll get some old agricultural trailers and slot them in behind. lincoln altogether somehow cover it and would, i'm, this is the result. is it, can i complete a hodgepodge of things that we could find that the time vegetables are grown and old truck tires it's winter, but rhubarb is sprouting from the soil. they grow fruits and vegetables without a pesticides and take care to increase file diversity on their property. they want, sorry. the wells government supports sustainable projects like this one under program called one planet and development. in return to what concerns must demonstrate, they provide at least 65 percent of their food and energy themselves to earn money

. they give courses for people who want to live a low impact lifestyle. they'd hope to raise honey bees, but that turned out to be more difficult than they thought. the things were a big part of what we were doing up here. we're just not getting as much money as we sold. whether that is to do with climate change, what winters that really seem to be getting more often a per a bond for bees. i don't know, but we just copy of their live and very happy now that we got them by the kitchen window of every year. the all sorties check to make sure that the family is as self sufficient as the rules require. they are building permits and the national park depends on it. to show what your ecological footprint is you, you have to literally record of 1st thing. you've spent money on all the food, any station or a 2nd time, close new clothes, shoes like it interest. absolutely. everything,

the watkins since we're allowed to build on the coast and the national park. they received the permit because they met strict environmental criteria. busy the wrong the mountain known as kind of mainly among the locals. it said to be a magical place and some object to the watkinson sleeping there. when the application was made for the one kind of development, it wasn't to move to issue because connie agrees held in high regard and revere locally. and many people thought this was inappropriate to have any form of development on the slopes. accordingly, the watkins since have been living here for 6 years, but now their neighbors are trying to block the properties, access lane, a move, they didn't expect. the hottest part by far. yeah, that's dealing with the resistance to what you believe. and i believe in for making this punch of land more habitable for people for wild life life

and their converted trailers is rustic especially on damp winter evenings. but they love it here and want to be an example for their children. the scope of somebody having much less of an impact on the environment, doing this and it kind of shows them how they might be able to do that in the future as well. and, and that we can do this without getting rid of all electricity and television and internet, you know, we've still got to all of that. but we can do this even if some of their neighbors haven't been won over the what concerns hope that they're inspiring as many people as possible to live in harmony with nature. another area, well let's choose the nature of changing is bush meat hunting. wild animals for food is a traditional practice across africa. bought the bush, me, shred, house, come on display in recent years. one reason is the wise in disease

a transmission between animals and fix human lot. the old, a very serious concerns about endangered species does right sandra and several countries have no band hunting, selling a consumption of bush mates is good for the animals. but now as affected those whose livelihood was depended on the bush. me to train this young dwarf crocodile had a lucky escape. it was rescued. a 3 and a half months of gold. no, be on board board is we're using it to bucket into the wild ease the conservation money to collect various foss general widely century. before he started this job, he tooled, i've seen crocodiles as a source of food. now he's returned hundreds of finding most of the natural habitats when i was gray of i had no more view of all abuse. ah, well, if the wish me is like of course them,

or do i do soon? what grew up and going to school lane? yeah, because the vision in getting that if you working with wildlife, have changed everything. my car instead is what did people or to bring about change the communities in to school and in the villages where most of these animals come from the forest among routes and reverse a flight barrier or a global biodiversity hotspot with hundreds of different species of pods. momos reptiles implants a few years ago and they buried a post to low binding the cell on consumption of bush meet the amys to police of biodiversity and prevent the spread of disease.

and we might keep more the bus. so white legs century, outside the copy, told them from the deal was founded in 2017, the stuff via care for a huge variety of wildlife. most of the animals work on face dictated by forest to developmental authority from people involved in the now illegal bush meets the trade st. twos, absolutely, imperative to library and the ones lies. little came and got changed in 2016, and the, the, the, when the lawyers and force they have to have somewhere to bring these animals are willing, with most of the animals here actually opens. and this little bush block is a prime example, came in at 350 grams, which is the weight that it would be while it was when it was born. so that is a 99 percent chance it's month. phase mother had actually been

killed and from bush mate, and the last one was left with nearly 70 percent of the various population living in a close proximity to the countries dense forests. bush meat was incredibly popular . the most common 90, most targeted were tumbling along with several species of monkeys comfort. debbie sold bush meeting and drove us markets for over 20 years. but today she has become a national advocate for the countries wide life and biodiversity. now we've spoken with a roommate and we've spoken with other people to stop trading that we should meet because that would be fine for we've a lot be read. if we want to know to try and push me our far, i would be empty. they will not be good for us. according to the worldwide fund for nature liberians use to get more than 75 percent of the protein from bush meet. much

a v to us sold at the local markets. we have most people. he gets their food. at numa well so sold bush meat for many years, but i've to walk in with comfort. she switched to selling fish, which benefits her and her family for was sending the person with the supervisor assistance but not as says i'm fairly new especially. so i'm sending faxes in process for example, finally, if i don't want to go by, i can show much of it. i'm gonna just the conflict deputies advocacy looks to be paying off. a study was conducted on the people is a push me to being traded at the markets across the country. it found that, you know, single, the, there was a 50 percent reduction in bush meat. but despite these positive results, the us to challenges this, mike is no longer southern with me while we have so many miles. yes, we do have bosses or might have thousands of miles. yes. and i do. and then the lab

us as sort of a voice me, so it's 650 change takes time. but awareness is off. the bottle on any reduction could give critical, intended, on the most like these white valid, treat, tumbling and complex other species of fighting tons the progress maybe maybe it shows the f. what is, what's wise to ensure the long term survival of many, they fuss and beautiful species. but it is always worthwhile that brings us to the very end of the special bind. they've lost the addition. every speech accounts, we hope you found it is fine too. it is a good buy from complex. i mean, sandra holmes, that we know view us. and for me, chris, our lives in lake goes. if you enjoyed the show, please make sure you take all the online environment content online. good by. the
