goals and how these police can be changed. the start filming us. plea for new perspectives. starts october, terms with us on the w, the, 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 1st, let's see. hello, sandra. alexandra hi, breeze greetings from uganda and nice to be with you again. olivia view is the hub,
10:31 am
joined 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 any good. well, here is a once we have for you today the people's building during the gardens to sample space and west in uganda, sounding 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 bring pushes to chopsticks. now, a center in south africa has met. this is nation to tones the tide or wildlife
10:32 am
crime by fighting fortune with forensic science. it's an old to come inside in south africa is reserves. ryan of chilled 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 as butchering wildlife here. since most of these crimes and never persecuted, he founded a 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
10:33 am
a great need and that training ranges and people that are 1st responders, or even professionals, that come across to nora is way when an animal is poached or isn't and 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 drums, a lion killed by community members, and the right approach was horn. students are trained in 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
10:34 am
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 them into then. and so when they go back into the real world and much better attacking while that's one of the main challenges when it comes to wide 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 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,
10:35 am
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 going arrive on the scene. and that could make or break a cases challenges in court. so i think it should be pull 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 and a long legal process. in real world cases,
10:36 am
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 public practice as pitching is a $1000000000.00 business in asia, one kilo ryan on sales with 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, mega format, like elephants and suppose they have a really important role to play in an ecosystem. as prompt spaces as large animals,
10:37 am
they have an important role in shaping the environments and the habitats around them. they have a role in the disposal, nutrient cycling, and by removing these animals. and it's kind of need to buy diversity loss and changes and consummation as of whole landscapes. in addition, it's kind of also need to uninstall that impacts full on full. increasing human was conflicts and having further impact something other hold tight feature and some ecosystem. last year, so then for the last $448.00 minus approaching incident. but 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 dealing with them become increasingly important to ensure that the countries biodiversity is protect. it will be returning to the subjects of poaching a little later in the show. we look at how some of the trading victims of being
10:38 am
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 and the 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 kampala already grow vegetables such as cabbages, raised chickens, and farm little fish. no, they're collecting waste plastic bottles. but they used to build vertical gardens
10:39 am
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 to can 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 and development and the mo, at the end of it, and have come of the solution through the projects. the students are learning in a bit to eco friendly and sustainable. growing practices to be self sufficient,
10:40 am
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 stories a. this is now sweet continents, until cabal 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 constructed, 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,
10:41 am
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 making waste, with a circular one, with a products of designs in a way that it's materials can be reused over and over again. normal. so v grief on is the founder of the creator 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 create this incredible 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 note what so fee, gree 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
10:42 am
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 and other products. and so we have an shows in here, right? you can see a lot of products that are already produced in a crate is create a manner the flooring. and 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 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
10:43 am
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 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 use 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 can do is an award winning architect, mostly known for her sustainable projects. like these ones,
10:44 am
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 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 mar, so is there
10:45 am
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 it for just the purpose. i use the quality of the call by not being 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 we use the materials. it's all about designing smarter. while these individuals 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, grief on. so we need the market,
10:46 am
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 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,
10:47 am
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 and then data this bought to get better, can use because slum whenever this 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 ready. we're 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. we look out for 40 underground electrical wires and truck water drains so that if the rain comes, we will not be caught off guard a. we also raise our belongings up off the floor in our homes. you a wiki teen winter rancho rings full of the consequences and compare it can be devastating. the slum lies near the gong hills. on the west of the outskirts of
10:48 am
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 to say to me is most of them will being cut it that way. at least the nice due to this much and even their properties, the weather 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. and 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
10:49 am
day to be nights 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 creek, i 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 them, it was because department, we translated to a simple message that people can use and you understand we read through this 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 a james kareka was given an award for his commitment. further boosting the projects growing visibility. as financial support increases,
10:50 am
the team can upgrade their range of tools. the weather, 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 all fun temperance ease in getting poaching and the destruction of habitats have shrunk champ, populations, 1000 something opens, and some species are even facing extinction. but champions the conservation st. uh in did this trying to help mako and caesar are leading the way to the bush federal funds baby champs rescued from annual traffic cuz now they leave at the chimpanzee conservation center. essentially located in the motional back of upland nyja and is central gimme. so the country is home to more than $30000.00 wild west and chimpanzees, the largest population in the region. however,
10:51 am
the numbers of basically to 8 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 this is the 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 load that's protect sonnus picked in and in gimme gene policies 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.
10:52 am
c the to day 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 trauma. then onyx cushion into the forest helps the young 2 companies adapt to do was not for the import sample of the forest is important for the coupon season. we work with them to the far as our to them so they can get used to be so as a cheese they have been tied to that. i thought, yeah, they can find food in a place or something. 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 agriculture and logging, destroying the national park, but also sufficient, healthy, happy to mean just trying to change could be released since 2008. the some of the
10:53 am
costs are based on the chimpanzee conservation center, contribute to species protection through rehabilitation and re introduction. i thought of it, but also like indicating the local community, seal it, because it said community that's destroying the environment. so these people need to be educated and sensitized really, and i get on more adult fish all about provided that's very, very important for a project like this wednesday. so that's what the example of don't does that project? i'm st lucie minutes. you need the center have launch defense project to raise 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 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,
10:54 am
since it's taught in 2019 more than $700.00 students have taken part in this workshops. a special who the point 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, but 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 a plastic recycling project which supports more than $300.00 women because on this level it we make so connections and now we also recycled plastic bugs and turned them into laptops, sees or liquid pauses. we also saw shopping box for the women,
10:55 am
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 law coal cesar and defend a cheap enough space to go into 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 us social media platforms. i do remember to to the next week for another episode of equal i am thunder 3. nobody signing off from complex here and you get the,
