the young people clearly have the solution, the future is 77 percent. every weekend on dw, the every bit of additional woman adds greater risk for africa was drought, more heat ways. and more potential krupp fee is. well, what can people do about it? well, take a look at this addition of eco africa. i'm crystal lambs coming to you from lagos, nigeria, and i own sandrica homes that we, nobody, all joining you from comp hello. here in uganda, not only is the planet heating up,
5:31 pm
wildlife machines are on the loss of extinction. so how can we help them make us come back, learn more about it, right? see it, coming up in today's feel. a how a wait, like sometimes 5 to how to ops kenya being sent from extinction. and help of boston library. it comes to them. these reducing clothing was tossed, we had to buy country y c. in uganda. imagine riding around on a wide motorcycle through the streets of a coffee to the east. no, it's a dream. we're seeing more and more of those emission free board aboard is causing
5:32 pm
to come the next few days as you'll see. so applicant countries can take a real step to it even more ability as much more joseph didn't get by the is the proud owner of a motorcycle, not just a motorcycle budget, quite electric one. she received a load from an electric motorcycle company a year ago looks like an offer. they give me i to know because i didn't put any down payment. it just gives me. but i verify everything that's about 32 years per month. joseph kemp, i bought these motorcycle taxi runs on solar powered factory. it's a real novelty in uganda. is the idea to sell e motorcycles on a pay as you go basis? came from the start of them both. it imports inexpensive electric motorcycles from
5:33 pm
china. the company charges the factories and it's workshop. if all of you guys does gasoline powered for the cyclic were replaced by electric one. it would save about $100000000.00 tons of c o 2 every year. but they are still around $600000.00 custody. i would motorcycles in the country, the startup symbol says, this can't be the future. and you've gotten the, we're importing the 1200s petro motorcycles every month to serve the market. and this should be electric, but to make it electric we have to invest only not only in purchasing the bikes, but also the battery and charging infrastructure. the transition would cost millions of heroes over several years. so far, the only government support for electric vehicles has beach suspend import duties on electric motorcycles. even so such electric motorcycles still costs about $1300.00 bureaus. not cheap to buy local standards, but they are already more than
5:34 pm
a 1000 of the motorcycles in the capital composite. so the demand of their writers liked the bikes. it saves the money, cost less than a fuel bike. the operate is we're just missing the money to invest and it's difficult to raise as a start up in a relatively new ms business and a new model. conventional financing for any start up is normally not an option. at least they have support from international companies and organizations, especially from europe and the united states. financing green initiatives like this is important, otherwise, poor countries in africa, in particular, would not be able to invest in electric vehicles and certainly not in renewables. this would also help them protect themselves from the effects of climate change. according to the african development bank, uganda would need more than 27000000000 heroes by 2013. but so far the country has received only 10 percent from the global north. www. and uganda also complaints over lack of funds. and this way about the trucks,
5:35 pm
additional investments in that for them by that's what governments, by all part of a 6, the companies in the global with because in screwed under different health. when this settings of claimants, they fix the middest best. when the truck, those kind of investment h, was only at the latest climate summit that the fund was set up to compensate those countries, particularly affected by climate change. money is now being paid in a so that regional banks in africa can also support companies like electric motorcycle startup assembled. you can see that these move funding that came through, especially for the african countries. no risk, no to bunk, has been accredited by that. been climate funds. so what we're definitely going to be doing lots more things. so we'll just you to the board and off and give us the target and see what you all have. maybe 30 percent of all of it to be
5:36 pm
green. joselyn came by is already driving green and does not regret her investment, even if it's still pods to find charging stations where she can exchange her empty back to you for full. the places you go to a new check on your location. the famous substitution may be your photo in the 10, somewhere general or this. but you cannot find this dition isn't. it will be attending, we got new, that'd be up to the village. the name of this, of the village, but so for this fissions, i noted to extended the, although this causes her to miss out on a few journeys, it's still worth it as it's cheaper for her to maintain the electric motor cycle. then a guess the lean powered one she expects to repay her load within a year and a half since she has no shortage of customers. most of my clients like it, this is the most of them don't like amazing is the thing is come on is so what? most simply no pressure, no vibrations,
5:37 pm
and it doesn't pollute the environment. drive isn't. passengers may not always be aware of it. but the electric motorcycles helping us good, but time was a great idea on this. you pulled 6 us to cambridge in the okay, web hosting solar panos on a 2 story building is causing heated debates. so that's right, sandra. there we have some the optimism about renewable energy on the one side with the other 3 shade on what could be bright prospect. uh it looks like restoration work, but what's really happening here is a fundamental innovation, a top old roles. the famous king's college chapel in cambridge is getting solar
5:38 pm
panels. the chapel is more than 500 years old. much of the structure is still original, but the lighting is electric, real tunnels, a largely ornamental the some of the panels will soon supply the necessary electricity for the chapel dean along the cheese solution. and when you begin to think about the young younger, younger people that picture you have to take the talking the cry process really seriously answer for me. you know, is it a wonderful opportunity to my, re these 2 things together? franco did okay. tradition or formality. and the future for human meetings, full 100 solar panels, facial them to these old reeves, it's perfectly angled to catch the sun's rays. but historians of skeptical, you know, here to cover the roots with, say the panels which are highly reflective, willing to do so. a very to score and tell them and, well they, they wouldn't be kind of visible and they will affect the way one appreciates the
5:39 pm
chapel that appear in views of the reseller parent is the sky line. but supports and say the benefits outweigh these a septic concerns, us. the panels will buy power at the chapel and cover 5 percent of the cottages, entire electricity requirements. the moment is common when the balance of power, senior, acetic pleasure on sustainability and doing what we can see not only for the past but creates and never will future. the a livable suit uh, is just for the fashion library and i'm just the dad is trying to help create the flushing business as well. the both police have been to see in the well, the best like support takes us to find out just how the rod street can people,
5:40 pm
eco friendly catch this library, people borrow clothes. it's not crime novels. welcome to lane a hamster, dams, fashion library. it's that got to answer to tech style waste and environmental pollution caused by the clothing industry of the homes. and my background isn't vintage. so i've always been involved in recycling clothes. they through vintage stores with air, but nowadays is a challenging to find something you want to use. and even when you do that often ends up is just another 2nd hand item in your closet tonight. that's a shame and that's where the idea originated play. to share clothing with each other and what's basically a march chaired wardrobe size make hundreds of dresses, pants and shirts are sorted according to label or style. the cost of borrowing them varies from $0.25 to several euro is per day. pieces can be purchase to
5:41 pm
once borrowed items have been returned there, washed before being returned to the racks. just like with a regular library, users need to register 1st. the fashion library now boasts around 6000 members. it's just super simple and very flexible and nice to pick out something new without having to buy it straight off. sometimes you want to wear something extravagant and like the brake pink laser, hey, just try it out and it's in canada, you might not. we're at often just for special occasionally. it's fun so we show yeah through. it's just really nice that yes, i think there should be more places like this that a i think so much clothing is bought and not worn, stating. so that's a great way to wear new clothes without harming the planet to she has acre in this age of fast fashion, the un says the average person by 60 percent more items of clothing than they did 15 years ago. that keeps them for just half as long every seconds the
5:42 pm
equivalent of a truck load of clothing is burned or done in landfills around the glow. many discarded textiles wind up in african countries where they land straight on the trash. or they're sold as secondhand clothes, overwhelming local markets. the fashion industry has a huge environmental impact. gets responsible for around a quarter of water pollution worldwide. back in amsterdam, the fashion library now has its own online shop, as well as collection and drop off points in other dodge cities. a clo feel or by strongly believe this is the future. and then it has to be because we need to transition to other system days. and when the,
5:43 pm
when we can continue to consume and produce and the same way. so because the resources are to cleanings valuable kids and we hope to inspire others in a contact other closing brand where they don't actually, this approach can do adults, i'm the cone and then fashion uses can not only look good, but feel good to knowing they're styled the sustainable, the coming back to africa. a big problem that affects many countries. he is poaching. the huge illegal and dangerous trade in wide animals is typically very difficult to bring poachers to justin's because they are crimes often have no witnesses. key evidence is frequently destroyed, unintentionally by 1st responders. i think the insults off or guys, maybe it's mission, to tend to tide on wildlife cry. a. this is an old to common sites on
5:44 pm
south africa's reserves. a rhino kills by poachers is contacts and to find the object that killed him. so from the 1st clue to help catch the cold prints about this, what requires the loss of know how an ex but so in short supply. greg simpson is taking on the pouches, butchering wildlife. ha, since most of these crimes and never prosecuted. simpson founded an academy that helps train ranges and other 1st responders to 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 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 is in
5:45 pm
another illegal 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 wild life forensic academy simulates different wildlife crime scenes based on real world examples, including a smidge you're off, a killed lion. and a really know poached for his own. students are trained in forensic techniques in order to preserve and collect vital evidence which can be used by the all sorties to move forward with court 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 them into then. and so when they go back into the real world
5:46 pm
and much better attacking while that's one major challenge when it comes to wild life crimes is that they generally a cut in remote places. making them difficult to prove south africa's of aust scrubs and offers covered to teachers who ambush that prey. issue with wildlife. com is often the onto the 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 positing, court ranges are often the ones who 1st discovered the congresses of paged animals . that initial response is critical to reduce the risk of evidence being contaminated or destroyed by window rain before the os ortiz can arrive on the
5:47 pm
scene. those details can make or break a cases chances in coats. and i think it should be 4 hands on the ground. feel changes as well. um, because they often the ones who do come across the scenes before we do see i do think of something valuable for oranges um i, tessa, and to as to the attic and consummate as well. in addition to collecting proof, students at the academy also take part in mock trials where they have to defend the evidence they've collected. the participants in this simulated court proceeding include former prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officials. collecting evidence is only the 1st step and a long legal process. in real world cases, ensuring what they've got that can hold up in court is 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
5:48 pm
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 practice. poaching is a $1000000000.00 business in asia, one key low of ryan and holding cells for tens of thousands of us dollars. the financial incentive is huge. rhinos elephants, ret tiles, and secular pumps will pay the price for consumer trends. 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 spaces 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, cycling, and by removing these animals. and it's can lead to buy diversity loss and changes
5:49 pm
and consummation of whole landscapes or in addition, it's kind of also need to uninstall the impacts full on full, increasing human while that's conflicts and having for the impact on other whole it's high food chain, some ecosystem in 2022 south africa last 448 rhino to poaching. but they will also over a 100 and so to you. arrests and the number of convictions including one that resulted in the poachers being sentenced to 60 years in prison. as wild life crimes continue training and dealing with them will become increasingly important to ensure that the countries bio diversity is protected. they are the words toilets. the long dwelling stretches, and i think they also look rather lovely to ross. sadly, there are fewer and fewer of them because it went to rob sabine, post india drew's for the meats full for the codes. and
5:50 pm
the reasons for pushing things. now some people believe is a feeling cause of the old guns. let's take a look at a consulting, see if kenya, that is especially dedicated to the protection of xerox. from the outside. this looks like a brucell catcher. but these game keep is one to transport. this drew off to safe a ground on the mainland rising bullshit levels. unlike the rainbow, attend a section of the draft conservation area into a 9. and so in 2021, the router wildlife conservancy managed to relocate 7 stranded animals, all of them endangered rules, child's drugs distinguishable by the wide low legs. it was over a decade ago that the conservancy and the local community 1st joined forces to create a century for giraffes. but a few years ago, money to read the spaces, it became clear that those stranded on the nearly imaged island was suffering badly
5:51 pm
. at the island this there was a lot of telling us number one uh, the general feedback on the top the by the 5th. second, there was a list footage that there was uh, a talk by phone that could strangle the young ones and also the crocodile. so comparing the island on the mainland, we saw that the the telling is i'm more united on lending mainland roads towards drops. i mainly found in savannah's like here in the ringo eaten antonia and neighboring uganda. only about 1400 can still be found today. the numbers have been greatly reduced, mainly due to poaching, but with the involvement of the community, the situation is improving helped by a 17 square columbus, a drop century established within the root co conservancy. of the,
5:52 pm
the and an animals watched over by ranges and members of the tweak of a lindsey or 2 rough god, initiative robots, buddy, you is one of them having grown up here. he knows a lot about the giraffes. i kinda know we would do that from the when we were children. and i knew what we were told that the roads college or red originated from the ringo and i from the funding and was called the ringo duran. it's not, it's me. it was said to be very sweet, young black and that's good. and i'm and the bone y'all can be a very special type of fat that people used for medicinal purposes. one of the come on now. today what matches most to him is that the animals can strive and reproduce . the monitoring team regularly checks a numbers and checks out for injuries. at the moment, there are 14 rough childs drove off in the recovery area. the initiative, not any benefits the giraffes, but also the people who live here. the old thomas,
5:53 pm
i'm the po coat, these pistol communities have a long history of conflict of animals and grazing them. be know a piece around the vehicle heading right now. i'm seeing when the 2 held us from the 2 communities up down the see the we need to do a way life consultancy. we need to mean to reduce adults to get off. so it must be known as a bilingual draft, as a symbol of unity in the stuff network, once a visual so that it can bring the 2 communities together. but to do this, they needed both land and 2 rocks which had disappeared from the ring. each community contributed land and the conservancy brought in h wolf child's drops from another nature was of or meanwhile, community members are also beneficial, especially if people have found jobs as ranges older off guards like rutledge putting the communities also receive a portion of the conservancy is income, which they mainly use to pay children in school fees. the kids have also developed
5:54 pm
a respect for the animals. not the telling the giraffes are good because they helping generate revenue from tour is the best of funding. and they also fertilize the soil at the window in the welcome john. the project is supported by international n g o's and is now well accepted by both communities to fuel gas lives. and we can now talk about how to protect the animal the thought. so yeah, i mean how we can develop guidelines to protect them, but in the past you is what that box is. and what we can do is create new employment opportunities and what new things we can introduce so that we can continue to grow. and we've got another we have really benefited since bringing these animals here. the drugs have settled in well, at the century. the numbers have nearly doubled in the past decade from 8 to 14.
5:55 pm
and they were a little babies on the way to the females of pregnant. oh, that's a good news and we've thought we need to leave it today. thank you for watching. we host, please edition of africa. give you some fresh new ideas. i n son drug owns actually known do as by, from chrome pull up right here in you've done this as by son dress. so you again, next time add to all of us. do you have any thoughts or ideas on how to create a better future? right? to share them with us, we always love hearing from you until then. please follow also about social media accounts. i have chris 11 said so long from lagos, nigeria, the
