says progresses in our hands and that means so is request. it's up to us. how significant of the beginning of the done and see the series of the great philosophers to our present and future. our series project in line to minutes, thoughts october 5th on d, w. the to hello and welcome to a new edition of equal offer go. i'm chris, a lens joining you from ogen state nigeria. today we'll be looking at everything from great god main ideas to critical issues like posted. but for us, let's say hello. so sandra alexandra hi, breeze greetings from uganda and nice to be with you again. olivia view is the hub
9:31 pm
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 e gemini, tennessee, the image area, and mtv right to you? good. well, here is a what we have for you today the people is building 2. let me go ahead into the sample space on west uganda sounding to nature, to making the construction industry more sustainable, the, securing a better future for us and she lives in getting it we can cope 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 the tide or wildlife
9:32 pm
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 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, you found it at academy that helps train ranges another 1st responders, wildlife crime scenes about the importance and intricacies of criminal forensics. we realized that a lot of the people that 1st came across these scenarios were not initially trained in handling a crime scene in particular was off crime scene. and this certain skills that are really valuable in forensics is one of those skills. so we felt there was
9:33 pm
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 and out of a legal activity. and if they have some of the 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 drum. a lion killed by community members and the rhino poach was horn students, a train and forensic techniques in order to preserve and collect vital evidence 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
9:34 pm
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 meant 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 african scrub land as fast as coveted perches were 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 a con through something like a footprint or a cell phone or a weapon or dna, even that is really popular in court. often it's ranges. if as discovery,
9:35 pm
animal that's been approached, they need to be trained, the initial response is there's risk of evidence being contaminated or destroyed by winful rain before the authorities going arrive on the scene. and that could make or break a cases 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 i, tessa, and to ask the ethic and consummate 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 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 life cases,
9:36 pm
ensuring that evidence can hold up in courses vital training which to to 1st responders and those. and did you understand the role of different, do you have an impact in fighting while of crime, in the sense that it will lend lead to credible evidence which the prosecution can use in proving the elements of the offense against the practice. poaching is a $1000000000.00 business in asia, one kilo of ryan on sales for tens of thousands of us dollars. the financial incentive is huge. the rhinos allison's rare reptiles and something and plans all pay the price will continue. massage. the loss of life has profound impacts on the environment. these large, mega format, like elephant, suppose they have a really important role to play in an ecosystem. as prompt, if is as large animals,
9:37 pm
they have an important role in shaping the environment 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 mean to unintentionally impacts full on full, increasing human wildlife concepts and having further impact something other hold tight feature and some ecosystem. last year, south africa last 448 minus approaching incident. but we also have a $130.00 wrist and a number of convictions, including one with a purchase with sentence, a 60 as in prison, as wildlife primes continue. training and dealing with them become increasingly important to ensure that a country is biodiversity is protect. it will be returning to the subjects of poaching a little later in the show. we've looked at how some of the trading victims of
9:38 pm
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 peoples. are we pulsing plastic to roll their own suits a fresh from the got into the see the screen it can be copied into that keeps you into bed and for land the young farmers of said kizzy 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, raised chickens, and farm little fish. no, they're collecting waste plastic bottles. but they used to build vertical gardens
9:39 pm
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 these come all we need. um, we have the tomatoes, the tv, you know, if you have a small environment to tool them, some of us have poor above ground. but to these have done help us in the way it takes us, but 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 unable to co 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 this in development and the mo, at the end of it, and have come of the solution through the projects the students are learning in of a to eco friendly and sustainable growing practices. how to be self sufficient and
9:40 pm
how to guarantee a healthy diet. and how about you? if you also doing your bit, tell us about 2 visits. all websites will send us a tweet. hash tags doing your best. we share your stories. this is now sweet continents unsuitable as 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 a secular model to old materials are reuse or repub posed. but how does that work? let us show you. these german buildings don't only look models,
9:41 pm
but they might also pay the way to a circular future. they're built according to the cradle to create a concept. the idea is to replace our cradle to grave economy, where we take, make and waste, with a circular one, where the products are designed in a way that it's materials can be reused over and over again. normal. so v 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 of the 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 for biological cycles, according to the concept to normal. so fi, glee funds, father michelle 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
9:42 pm
that meets the materials used to build the products, need to decompose. that's becoming nutrients for the soil. or dismantled to become what they called technical nutrients. and we used in other products. so we have an shows in here, right? you can see a lot of products that are already produced in a crate afraid 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 crate. not the best idea to do because it's quite difficult to disassembled the lab uses these carpets that are totally made of recycled fibers. not clued and you can bring it back to the company and they can just take a look and make it totally new carpet. all of us drove us of the refund argues that
9:43 pm
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 take from the end user and you don't need extra need 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 be had felt that v require new knowledge is to be 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,
9:44 pm
then the must have coverage 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 us projections, at this rate, we would be producing enough concrete to build the entire city of paris every week 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 practice is says more so is there a circular engineer focused on cradle degree?
9:45 pm
the 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 the 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 welted joints would allow the structure to be dismantled, making it easier to reuse the materials. it's all about designing smarter. while these individual solutions are amazingly easy to implement, unfortunately, they alone will not be enough to make the construction sector. environmentally
9:46 pm
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 and cycles. just like nature does. it's something people love to talk about. complaint about or be happy about the weather . now a project in kenya is linking the weather full cost with environmental protection. 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 older tools at their disposal. these volunteers are working to care what they can from
9:47 pm
this rubbish clogged the stream if what the current flow through here floods can quickly end date this spot to get better uh can yes, 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 to migrate and that we should be red. they were not sure if it will actually rain, but we must be ready and inform our neighbors to take appropriate measures. we want children not to play near rivers. when 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've also raised our belongings up off the floor in our homes. you a wiki teen winter. rachel rings full of the consequences in cuba or it can be devastating of the slumber lies near the gong hills. on the west of the outskirts
9:48 pm
of nairobi, there's no sewage system here, and the 200000 residents can swiftly come on the 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 by 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 transfer to inform was 16 minutes. most of them will being cut it that way. most then nice due to this much and even the expertise the where the service now sends the alerts via text message as well as emailed to ensure they also reach 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
9:49 pm
nice. so far, 24 community leaders and keep barry i have received training. they are all part of the group, a cold weather, tiny village where the since james creek, i completed the training. he's organized street gulley cleanups with the residents in his neighborhood. all of it on a voluntary basis. after getting the messages from the can images, because department, we translated to a simple message that people can use and you understand we read through this or what's up. and after we send, it usually has it has a device. so the advisees use the one which people use in terms of extreme, extremely low. so flat dis, or james karika was given an award for his commitment. further boosting the projects growing visibility. as financial support increases,
9:50 pm
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. but for marco and caesar, it's fundamental to the survival. they are often cheapens ease in getting poaching and the destruction of habits 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 fund baby champs rescued from annual traffic cuz now they leave at the chimpanzee conservation center. essentially located in the national back of up a major in is central guinea. so the country is home to more than $30000.00 wild west and chimpanzees, the largest population in the region. however,
9:51 pm
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 activity, and pushing st. lucie brooklyn people cuban with no, we've got for the lower dutch protect, the site is pick 10 and one in gimme coupons. these are often pushed for them meet or sold as pets. chips like michael hoping, seized by the employees, are brought to the center this century rehabilitate streams and then releases them into the wild. around 60 great apes, a country leaving at the center which is funded by international organizations and private donors.
9:52 pm
c the to the gets off to a swinging, stepped with a break close to fruits and ginger tea to combat to the cold, routine health and psychological checkup portals since they often arrive suffering from health problems and for months. then onyx cushion into the forest helps the young 2 companies adapt to do was afford it to them, for example, that the forest is important for the coupon season. we work with them through the foreigner to them so they can get used to date. obviously as a cheese they have been tied to, but i told you they can find food in a place or something. okay, through the mines this, but for merkel and his pulse to return to the forest, they need lodge open spaces to hang out in yet human activities like agriculture and logging, destroying the national park, but also sufficient, healthy, happy to mean just trying to change could be released since 2008 slit solve the
9:53 pm
cost of us on the team. pansy conservation center contributes to species protection through rehabilitation and re introduction. i thought of it, but also by educating the local communities, seal it because it gets the community that's destroying the environment and okay, 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 set the example on, does that project come st. lucie, manage the center have launch defense project to waste environmental awareness within the communities, leaving in the park. among them is a weekly radio show, isn't full seriousness about the pox flora and phone up. it's natural resources and how to protect them. you're do you need additional program a to primary school inside the park also teaches future generations about the importance of conservation. and that's where it's to funds these fees,
9:54 pm
since it's taught in 2019 more than $700.00 students have taken part in this workshops to the point for the program that we're on these programs and 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, but so is providing a tentative, sole source 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 a plastic recycling project which supports more than $300.00 women to you guys on this level. it would make so connection. and now we also recycle plastic bugs and turned them into laptops, fees,
9:55 pm
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 there, such as black marquee. it's a win win solution. these projects provide locals with a steady income. these environmental awareness and ease the pressure on the echo system. and could someone give michael caesar and defend the teams in the face to go 8 in the while? i hope they have a great life out in the wild for us. it's time to say goodbye 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, don't forget to send us your thoughts or comments on those social media platforms. i do remember to, to the next week, for another episode of equal africa. i am sandra 3, nobody signing up from complex here and you get
