not only is the planet heating up, wildlife machines are on the loss of extinction. so how can we help them make us come back? learn more about it. why to coming up in today's show? how a way, like 5 to how to ops kenya being sent from extinction and help of boston library. it comes to them. these reducing clothing was lost a 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
2:32 pm
to come the next few days. as you'll see, chauffeur, applicant, countries can take a real step to it even more military and much more joselyn 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 to the idea to sell e motorcycles on a pay as you go basis came from the startup them boat. it imports inexpensive
2:33 pm
electric motorcycles from china. the company charges the factories in its workshop . if own of uganda is 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. our motorcycles get the country, the startup symbol, it 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 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 cheaper by local standards, but they are already more than
2:34 pm
a 1000 of the motorcycles in the capital composite. so the demand of their writers like the bikes, it saves the money cost less than a fuel bike to operate is we're just missing the money to invest, and it's difficult to raise as a start up in a relatively new is 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 know, the w, w, f and the uganda also complaints over the funds. on this way about the trucks,
2:35 pm
additional investments, enough for them buy it, that's what governments buy or part of the 6 the companies in the global with because then screwed under different health. when this settings of claimant's effects, in mid this past we did the truck, those kind of investment age 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 and 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. i know right now to bunk has been accredited by that's been clement funds. so what we're definitely going to be doing lots more things. so we'll just need to be bored enough and give ourselves a target and see what you all have. maybe 30 percent of all of it to be
2:36 pm
green. joselyn came by is already driving green and does not regret her investment . even if it's still hard to find charging stations where she can exchange her empty back to you for who of the place as you go to a new check on your location, cannot find this substitution may be a photo in newton somewhere, canada road. but you cannot find this, this shouldn't even be tim, and we've got new that'd be up to that we made this of the leverage. but so for this fissions i know to, it's 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 love within a year in a hawk since she has no shortage of customers. most of my clients like it because the most of them doing like amazing is the thing is come on is so what's most simply no pressure, no vibrations,
2:37 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 to. but once a great idea on this, you pulled 6 us to cambridge in the okay, well floating solar panos when i use storage 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 wick, but what's really happening here is a fundamental innovation, a top old roles. the famous king's college chapel in cambridge is getting soda
2:38 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 solar 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, the future, you have to take the car and the cry process really serious me answer for me. you know, is it a wonderful opportunity to my ravings change things together? ron hood, okay, tradition or formality and the future for human meetings, full 100 solar panels face onto these old roof. it's perfectly angled to catch the sun's rays, but historians, a 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 appreciate. so
2:39 pm
chapel that appear in views of the rates that appear induced the sky line but supports and say the benefits outweigh these, etc. it concerns us. the panels will base power at the chapel and cover 5 percent of the cottages, entire electricity requirements. the most common when the balance of power, senior, acetic pleasure, and sustainability. and doing what we can see not only for the past but creates and never will future. the is a livable to, to is just for the function library and i'm, the dad is trying to help create the question, but this is one of the bows. police have been to see in the well, the best next support takes us to find out just how the rods trades, 10 people,
2:40 pm
the co friendly test. this library, people borrow clothes. it's not crime novels. welcome to lane a hamster, dams, fashion library. it's got to answer to tech style waste and environmental pollution caused by the clothing industry of the homes. my background is in vintage. so i've always been involved in recycling clothes. they threw vented stores with air, but nowadays is a challenging to find something you want to use. and even when you do it 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
2:41 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, i 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, but at the end 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
2:42 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 trashes. 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 and 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 systems. we can continue to consume and produce and the
2:43 pm
same way. so because the resources are to cleanings valuable kids and we hope to inspire others and a content other closing brand where they don't actually this approach. adults i may call in and then fashion uses can not only look good, but feel good to knowing they're styled as 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 purchased adjustments because the crimes often have no witnesses. key evidence is frequently destroyed, unintentionally by 1st responders. i think the in south africa is maybe it's mission, to tend to tide on wildlife cry. this. this is an old to common site on
2:44 pm
south africa's reserves. a rhino kills by poachers is called tape and to find the object that killed him. so from the 1st clue to help catch the culprit about this, what requires the loss of know how and 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 found it an economy 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. 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
2:45 pm
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. this facility, the wildlife 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 a vital evidence which can be used by the authorities 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 that meant to learn. and so when they go back into the real
2:46 pm
world and much better at texting while that's one major challenge when it comes to wild life crimes, is it they generally a cut in remote places, making them difficult to prove south africa's of aust scrubs and offers covered to poachers who ambush that prey, issue with water that com is often they aren't 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 kind 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 discussed with 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 also
2:47 pm
ortiz can arrive on the scene. those details camico break are cases chances and codes. so i think it should be for 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 ask the the ask and con smith 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 did you understand the role will definitely have
2:48 pm
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 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 funds 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, if is 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
2:49 pm
and consummation of whole landscapes or in addition, it's kind of also need to uninstall the impacts full on full, increasing human was conflicts and having for the impact something other hold tight food chain, some eco system in 2022 south africa last 448 rhino to poaching. but they will also over a 100 and so to your rest of the number of convictions, including one that resulted in the poachers being sentenced to 60 years in prison as wild life crimes continue. training in dealing with them will become increasingly important to ensure that the countries bio diversity is protected. they are the words toilets, the land toiling 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 coats,
2:50 pm
the end. the main reasons for pushing things. now, some people believe is a feeling cause of the old guns. let's take a look of a consolidate. see if, can you ladies 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 boise levels, unlike the rainbow, attend section of the drops conservation area into a 9. and so in 2021, the rico wildlife conservancy managed to relocate 7 stranded animals. all of them endangered rules. child's drops, distinguishable by the white low legs. it was over a decade ago that the conservancy in the local community 1st joined forces to create a century for giraffes. but a few years ago managed to read the spaces. it became clear that those stranded on
2:51 pm
the nearly imaged island was suffering badly. dialing this the look of telling us number one uh, the draft hit the content on the top. the by the 5th. second, there was a list for range that there was uh, a truck lights on liquids triangle, the young ones. and also the critical day. so comparing the island and the mainland, we saw that uh, the telling is i'm more united on lending mainland roads towards drugs. so mainly found in savannah's like here in the the ringo region in kenya 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,
2:52 pm
the integrated animals are watched over by ranges and members of the tweak of a lindsey or to rock god initiative robots. but to you is one of them having grown up here, he knows a lot about the giraffes. i kinda know we did it out from baltimore when we were children. and i knew what we have been told that the roads challenger read, originated from the ringo, and i from the funding and was called the ringo duran is i'm going to have uh oh, 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 matters most to him is that the animals can strive and reproduce . the monitoring team regularly checks the numbers and checks out for injuries. at the moment, they are 14 rough childs drove off in the route kind of area. the initiative, not any benefits the giraffes, but also the people who live here. the old thomas and the poor coat. these pistol
2:53 pm
communities have a long history of conflict of animals and grazing them. been know a piece around the vehicle, have you at a to know until when the 2 held us from the to community set down the see the we need to do a way life consultancy. we need to re introduce adults to get off. so it must be known as a bilingual draft, as a symbol of unity in the stuff. now we're going to be sure so that it's going to bring the 2 communities together. but to do this, they needed both land and to rough, which had disappeared from the rainbow. each community contributed land and the conservancy brought in h. wolf childs drops from another nature was us. or meanwhile, community members are also benefiting. so to 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
2:54 pm
a respect for the animals not the telling the giraffes are good because they helped me generate revenue from tourism. but we did the best of funding and they also fertilize the soil at the window in the welcome john. the project is supported by international in g o's and is now well accepted by both communities to, to go to the we can now talk about how to protect the animal and the thought. so yeah, i mean how we can develop guidelines to protect them. but in the past year, i think, 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 you've got to know that we have really benefited since bringing these animals here. the drugs have settled in well, at the sanctuary. the numbers have nearly doubled in the past decade from 8 to 14
2:55 pm
