5:30 am
in 45 minutes on d, w as he's got any issues or thoughts say what? the to hello and welcome to a new edition of equal offer go. i'm chris adams, joining you from august 8th 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,
5:31 am
breeze greetings from uganda and nice to be with you again. olivia view is the hub, 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 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
5:32 am
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 option just kills 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, he founded that academy that helps train ranges another 1st responders, wildlife crime scenes about the importance and intricacies of criminal forensics. and 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
5:33 am
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 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 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 leaving cases in this environment, we can expose them to all these different scenarios so they can learn how to
5:34 am
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 texting while that's one of the main challenges when it comes to wide life crimes, is that the generally a kind remote places so of retros cropland as fast as offers coveted perches what? 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 a con through something like a footprint or a cell phone to
5:35 am
a weapon or dna, even that is really popular in court also, and 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. so 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 and
5:36 am
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 will definitely have a 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, elephants, 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 elephant, suppose they have a really important role to play in an ecosystem. as prompt spaces,
5:37 am
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 need to unintended impacts. full on full, increasing human wildlife concepts, and having further 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
5:38 am
returning to the subjects of poaching a later, 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 grow their own? a fresh from the got into the see the screen and the coverage into that keeps you into bed. and for lance, 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,
5:39 am
they're collecting waste plastic bottles. but they used to build vertical gardens at 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 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 have can 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
5:40 am
a bit 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 stories. this is no sweet coincidence until cabal is a problem. both of 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?
5:41 am
let us show you. these german buildings don't only look models, 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. with the products of designs in a way that it's materials can be reused over and over again. no, most of the 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, around god and his colleague william mcdonough created everything we built must go
5:42 am
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 a 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 clued, and you can bring it back to the average company and they can just take
5:43 am
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, but you cannot just take from the end user and you don't need action 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 can do is an award winning architect,
5:44 am
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 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,
5:45 am
bad practices says more so also a circular engineer focused on cradle degree to applications in the construction sector. if you will use it, just some tests are all concrete on coffee. well it's why it's good. so april 5th. suppose i use the quantity of the call by not able to use it later. so chip, some plaster mix, 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 voltage 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,
5:46 am
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 creative 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 build and cycles. just like nature does. it's something and people love to talk about the complaint about or be happy about the weather. know a project and 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 it. i mean, prove life and the neighborhoods of the using all the
5:47 am
tools at their disposal. these volunteers are working to care what they can from this rubbish clogged. the stream if, what's the current flow through here, floods can quickly, in and day this part of the better can yes, because slum. whenever this rain approaching, i know 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've also raised our belongings up off the floor in our homes. you, a wiki teen wintering shall rings full of the consequences and keep bare it can be devastating of the slumber lies near the gong hills. on the west of the outskirts
5:48 am
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 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 the 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
5:49 am
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, where though, since james karika 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 them, it does require 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 he's the one which people use in terms of extremely, extremely low. so flat james k rico was given an award for his commitment.
5:50 am
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. go into 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 habits have shrunk champ, populations 1000, something opens, and some species or even facing extinction. but champions the conservation st. mtv . 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 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
5:51 am
and chimpanzees, the largest population in the region. however, 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 that 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 picked in and in gimme gene palm fees 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
5:52 am
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 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 not for the for example, that the forest is important for the coupon season. we work with them to the far to them so they can get used to be so as a cheese they have been tied to, but i thought, yeah, they can find food in a place or something. okay. through the mines is such the local indies paused to return 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,
5:53 am
happy to mean just trying to change could be released since 2008. they saw the cost of us 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 and okay, 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 i set the example on, does that project come 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
5:54 am
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 to the point for the program that we're around 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 to along with the villages and to women's associations. 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 makes so connections. and now we also recycled plastic bugs and turned them
5:55 am
into laptops, sees or liquid pauses. 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 a cheap enough place 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 fellow 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 up
