the the to hello and welcome to a new edition of equal offer go. i'm chris, a lens joining you from august 8th nigeria. today, we'll be looking at everything from great god mean 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, joined us today. i am sandra to be nobody of best in you've done this coffee to come put up. well, environmental show is brought to you by dw, in germany centers tv in the area and mtv right to any good. well here is a once we have for you today the people's building during the gardens to sample space on the west in uganda. so wanting to nature, to making the construction industry more sustainable on securing a better future for open shields in gauging, 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

bring pushes to just it's now a sense that in south africa has met. this is nation to tones the tide or 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 and ex, but 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 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 and particularly

a wildlife crime scene. and this certain skills that are really valuable in forensics is one of those skills. so we felt that was a great need and that training ranges and people that are 1st responders or even professionals that come across and are as way when an animal is punched in and out of a legal 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 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 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 tech in while that's one of the main challenges when it comes to wild life crimes is that they generally can remote places. so effect as crop land as fast as offers, coveted purchase will ambush their prey. the issue as well. that com is of, 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 climb 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 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 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 where they have to defend the evidence. they've collected. the participants and disseminated quotes proceeding include formal prosecutors, judges, or law enforcement officials. collecting evidence is the only 1st step in the 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 then lead to credible evidence which the prosecution can use in proving the elements of the offense against the pope. 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 sunk in plants all pay the price book into massage. the loss of life has profound impacts on the environment. these large, mega format, like elephants and suppose they haven't really important role to play in an

ecosystem. as prompt, if is as large animals, 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 need to unintended impacts. full on full, increasing human wildlife conflicts and having for the impact something other hold tight food chain, some eco system. last year, south africa last 448 minus approaching incident. but we also have a 130 wrist and a number of convictions, including one where the purchase was sent into 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 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 a fresh from the got into the see the screen it kind of coverage into that keeps you into bed and for all of 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 in various farms. and to make the most of 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 always 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 have done help us in the way it takes us. but one bottle building has a rooftop 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 think we'll have 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 that you've been 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 a,

the, to eco friendly and sustainable growing practices. how to be self sufficient, and 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 tweaks. hash tags doing your best. we share your story. this is no sweets, coincidence, unsuitable is 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, but they might also pave the way to a 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, with the products of designs in a way that it's materials can be reused over and over again. normal, so p 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. as a cradle app. you can come in here. we start here you, you'll see like from the labs that you can see. it's from a mushroom materials totally for biological cycles, according to the concepts and what was so fee, grief 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 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 of to create a 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 fluid. and you can bring it back to the average company and they can just take a look and make

a 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 $200.00, but you cannot just pay from the fee and use it and you don't need extra to change it. a lot so called deb tune volumes 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 as a goal, renew the 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 can do is an award winning architect,

mostly known for her sustainable projects like these ones. when standardization is being imposed, 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 is concrete. for example. it's the 2nd most used material in the world, only after water. if it was a 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 wouldn't 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 practices says more so also a circular engineer focused on cradle degree to applications in the construction sector. if you will, use adjectives, tests are all concrete on coffee will ex wife sold april 5th. suppose i used 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 steel, a universally used material in construction that could have an infinite live cycle . just a simple decision to use bolted connections rather than welded 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 friendly says no over. so fee could 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 control of 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 and 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. 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 this rubbish. clumped the stream. if what the current flow through here, floods can quickly end date this part of the better of 10 years. because slum whenever there is rain approaching and a low to send out from a, with a full cost app. what, what mean we have a little tiny has sent us a message wanting us to my dream 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 one 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've also raised our belongings up off the floor in our homes. you, a wiki teen wintering shall rings full of the consequences into bear. it can be devastating. the slum 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 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 with flash floods from going river because any gigs here between seen going 80. then most of the what does the drive through then going to be what that trash 3 they informed was 16 minutes. most of them were being cut it though we lost the nice due to this much and even their properties. the weather service now sends 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, but we're able to train them on how to interpret. we reason i've 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 bare i have received training, they are all part of the group, a cold weather, tiny village where though since james creek, i completed the training, he's organized st. gully cleanups with the residents in his neighborhood. all of it on a voluntary basis. after getting the messages from their condemnatory department, we translated to a simple message that people can use and get enough time to do it as a mess or what's up after we send it usually has it has a device. so the advice, these is the one which people use in terms of extremely, extremely low. so flat james k rico 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 habitats have shrunk champ, populations, 1000, something opens, and some species or even facing extinction. but champions the conservation st. mtv . this trying to help mako and caesar a leading the way to the bush federal funds, baby teams rescued from annual traffic cuz now they leave at the chimpanzee conservation center. essentially located in the motional bulk 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 probably cause it aspect, so there's a main causes of chimpanzee extinction at the destruction of the habitat, due to human activities, and pushing st. lucie brooklyn people cuban with no, we've got for the lower that to protect the site or speak to illinois in guinea coupons. these are often pushed for them meet or sold as pets. seems 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. c the to the gets off to a swinging step with the breakfast of fruits and ginger tea to combat to the cold routine health and psychological checkup polos 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 not for the 3. and for example, the forest is important for the coupons. here we work with them through the foreigner to them so they can get used to as a cheese. they have been tied to, but i thought, yeah, they can find food and a place to supplement. okay. through the mines is such the local indies falls to attend to the forest. they need large open spaces to hang out in yet human activities like a guitar to and logging destroying the national park, but also sufficient, healthy,

happy to mean just trying to change could be released since 2008. they saw the cost of us on the coupon. the conservation center contributes to species protection through rehabilitation and re introduction of it, but also by educating the local communities. feel it because it's a 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 set the example on the project. come st lucie minutes, you need this into have launch defense project to waste environmental awareness within the communities, leaving in the park. among them is a weekly radio show. it's informed seriousness about the prox flora and phone up it's natural resources and how to protect them. you're doing, 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 onto others to protect the environment. well, we've got the teams, habitat conservation, and education a crucial, but so is providing a tentative 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 because of the trouble and we mix. so collections and now we also recycled plastic bugs and turned

them into laptops, sees 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 in the past with less market 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 the fellow teams enough space to go 8 in the while? i hope they have a good life out in the wild for us, 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 cell from 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 off again. i am sandra 3. nobody is signing up from comp hello here and
