We want to show you how an apple can help protect red species africa. We also show you why so much energy doesnt always have to be messy. And how amusing the group was formed in congo thanks to. South africas western cape is home to stunning plants some of them found nowhere else on earth however a recent report that the pull of this is experiencing the 2nd highest rate of plant extinction in the what do you love spot. And what the tentacles we met up with some resources to get the region more closely. To. This rubble and is part of the famed both biome naturally occurring community of flora and fauna in the region around cape town in south africa its home to almost 10000. 00 species of plants many of them endemic as part of the efforts to preserve this evening system volunteers come here regularly to photograph and document the plants they what field can i say action of rare and endangered wild flowers also known as crew. So the reason why we have this program is that its just the numbers of it and plants that we have its not enough for a group of scientists to go and monitor those species so in the country we have over 3000 could have been plants and so thats a massive undertaking. This species of erica is critically endangered that means its on the brink of extinction its found only in this immediate area measuring less than half a square kilometer. Today the crew volunteers a document in ref laura using a popular Citizen Science app called eye naturalist. The aim is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their Data Collection we can only do conservation intervention if we know that there is a problem but if nobody is monitoring what is happening to those populations then we wont know and those species might go extinct without us even knowing about the app allows volunteers to take a picture of a plant or an animal and log the time and exact location and upload the data to the eye naturalist platform then biologists and botanists can access the information and create detailed maps of those remaining habitats. The app also allows researchers like ebrahim to monitor the raspy shes more closely because they know where theyre located. As a botanist and as someone that works on plants we understand that all of plants of the ecosystem and plants form the basis of ecosystem and without the plugs the things that that sit on top of. The food chain above the plants where one exist we wont exist if it wasnt for plants and so i think to create an awareness about the importance of plants is really important for us. The western cape has already lost 40 species of plants since 1800 scientists estimate that many more are in danger. The principal reasons are growing up in isolation Infrastructure Development and the expansion of agriculture me around cape town many green spaces have already been lost an Organization CalledCommunity Tree is trying to restore at least some of the Natural Habitats and their biodiversity but what are you doing here id be busy planting the ground cabbage and the pioneers that help her pay the soil for them or think that of those are the risks that are no longer here. The thought of been polluted lost all of it period and microorganisms so we are bringing those back and making space. True brain both to come back. Another example this way sis in the cape flats area of the city used to be a rubbish dump over a 4 year period Kevin Cochrane and a group of Community Volunteers planted about 50000. 00 indigenous plants and more than 300. 00 trees on the site. Was about is given people and their relationship with all species is one and that ideology. When it comes to endangered species charismatic animals such as elephants rhinos and lions often succeed in capturing the publics attention but the endangered plants of the South African famed boast biome are no less important. Raising awareness to bring about change for the better can be huge so many lets go to rwanda where more than 80 percent of the rural population still live without electricity that means that in the evenings a lot of school i love in. Thats why its called Bombing Campaign give light a Foundation Hopes to support problems of students and teachers. The idea is to brighten their lives with light heres our doing your bit for this week. Even after dark the some lights the past for children and come on you district its all thanks to solar powered lamps. Like many parts of the region isnt on the National Power grid but now the children have light to do homework in the evening. As a result fewer students are dropping out of school for old crates of also improved in the past they only had kerosene lamps which are unhealthy and dangerous now little sun makes doing household chores safer too. It was all the brainchild of danish icelandic artist. He joined forces with a german startup to distribute the lamps that given out to African Students for free but sold elsewhere in the well to finance the project the Initiative Also house sponsors we aim to deliver these lambs for school kids we have to look at these lamps for refugees for example in settings of migration and forced migration we have to deliver our mobile phone chargers to Community Health workers and we aim to empower will enter printers and Small Businesses as much into their bring energy. The little sun project was 1st launched 7 years ago. Its now lighting up the lives of schoolchildren in 1st team african countries. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send his a tweet. Doing your bit. We share your story. And now off to the caucasus geographical region known as you asia i reports head its a joy to see me very softly residents of a small village that sought to using solar energy to heat water which has a knock on effect of protecting local forests georgia lost 1. 3 percent of its forest between 1992010 thats according to the f a o the aim of the initiative is to provide the people without fordable on Sustainable Energy systems and to reduce c o 2 emissions in the villages. Stage at 6 30 in the morning and i go to open it is already out of the house with a bucket of hot water fresh from the faucet. In the college other has to be cleaned before milking. A little later after serving the family breakfast she makes cheese it requires a lot of patience she can tell that shes ready when the consistency is just right. And everything here runs like clockwork with no time for breaks. Or a factor thats a housewife i have a lot of work to do i clean i make the food click cows and lots of other things i would have to think theres always something to do their office floor or. None are good. And it says 60 and was a nurse for 30 years she lives with her husband son daughter in law and grandchildren. Who i always need hot water im glad we have this system. They received a solar powered water heater from a local Energy Cooperative. That clothes really had it right you know my saved up a bit of money and sold a few things i know and i got it was my husband who really wanted this work never its quite expensive but it is manageable. Like. Lisa is also in charge of the house work on her home plus the farm and the grandchildren. She still heats water the traditional way on a wood burning stove in the living room she needs a lot of hot water and therefore a lot of wood coming from the floor we save money so we can afford the wood but sadly there are a lot of families who dont know how we doing better than some we can pay for firewood the poor families current. The men collect the wood from high up in the forests of the carcasses mountains. Theyre still allowed to fill trees here. Gogu to here lets say is 27 he comes here regularly. Go get the estimates that each and every house in his area consumes about 2. 00 to 3. 00 truckloads of wood every year. A little clue to say it in the. Ocean it will be able to cut down trees anywhere else we could cause rock slides. And that might endanger people in the village. The forest might seem lush but deforestation is rife across georgia the number of trees being cut has to be limited to ensure long term sustainability currently over 12 times that number is being felt. The work of 2 mechanics is helping to solve the problem theyre cutting solar panels. The machine dates back to world war 2 but it still works there part of the Energy Cooperative the systems they produce here should help to reduce wood burning and therefore Carbon Dioxide emissions. The cooperative as provided solar powered water heaters to more than 100 homes in the village. Back from the markets and the grandchildren are awake her son and daughter in law are at work so she has to look after the children no time for a break this is horrible im 60 years old and i think my life is almost over i do anything to give my children and grandchildren a Better Future i hope they have a better life. Hand hot water straight from the tap is a good place to start. Moving over to guyana to check in on a young entrepreneur who built how this cheaply and sustainably she uses mud and all the locally produced materials this idea is becoming more and more popular across west africa one major advantage even when its hot outside the temperature inside the houses stay constant no need for expensive air conditioning but thats all theyve got going for that lets go see this. Technique is called construction has been formed into a wall. This new house has been built close to gunness capital and using an old method come on in africa now its becoming popular in cities. Clomid a year and joy and a sin founded a company in 2016 they realized theres a demand for houses that are both affordable and eco friendly. In a country even a continent where a lot of things are very sustainable we thought of ways that we can renewable Natural Resources to build with most times and gone out they use you know some men and materials are imported so we just for lets look to see what we can actually get to build when. Its a mixture of sand gravel and clay its just a little bit of cement added the idea is very you know. Our grandparents our forefathers were already living in models before this came up even the china wall was built with god when you go to mali. The mali empire most of the buildings you see they are all build with. This is how the team builds a wall. They use different mud mixtures layered one over another that gives the house an interesting aesthetic theres a good exercise through you know. All the walls are really solid enough. Just like a 3rd dimension a rock we are mimicking the 3rd dimension rock but before we are thousands of years. Less piling on top of each other over thousands of years while we are fast and in the process so. When false i shine the word brain after some time is because its like a manmade storm. The company has built 4 houses so far it started out with a little prototype building experimenting with different materials and techniques including using bricks made of around. This cafeteria in north and gone i was more ambitious and skill. This residential project is the biggest so far materials are cheap its cost about 150000. 00 u. S. Dollars thats about one 3rd less than the price was invention building and there are more advantages you get very very good in indoor air quality. The walls are 10000000. 00 solidity of the regulator Room Temperature termites cannot get it out its proof due to the monolithic structure of the wall it hasnt got any water joints in them so when theres an egg recall that the ground shakes you dont get them collapsing and the fact that they can stand up better to earthquakes isnt the only plus these buildings help save electricity the building fuel school you dont need to be seen even if you did you know this ruins of the i mean its just going to be Minimal Health to. Sustain them by a moment to. Reduce our carbon prints. The companys business is booming. But a sin and have Business Partner given back to society is well ok 2 thank you are good to go we actually train the local people how to do construction so they also have a skill that they can use a bit at the end and also. If we need to get some more workers in last minute then we can always call people from the villages to come and help us of construction work. With Construction Cost in 30 percent less than conventional Building Techniques and creating a host of new jobs to high surf is helping to lay the foundations for a brighter future. Saving energy would round earth construction is one way of fighting Climate Change but even though an edge of buildings need paul carman here is a great war material for producing Renewable Energy in the form of. Just 10 cows can make it feasible what you think it certainly sounds interesting in our next report will find out how it works promising king on having bio justice installed will be helpful for john an organization its not that complicated and super funny for entering the bank. It takes a week to build the unit but soon it will be ready for the 1st load of cum done 2 weeks after that these Dairy Farmers will have their own supply of buy again. Reward everything on the bio digester was a major investment for the phone. I wanted because we would have caused. It to go. And you know how could you afford. To cause problems here. And i wanted to get that money. German n. G. O. S fair and its local partner Sustainable Energy strategies helped set up these buy gas unit and 800 others across Campbell County near the kenyan capital nairobi. But if youve got an armored convoy the banner gas units allow us to use cow dung to generate clean by a gas country nothing is granted so no smoke astrology used which means no c o 2 emissions so each by a gas plant means photons less c o 2 each year. The biggest problem for people here is finding the money to pay for one of the smallest model costs 300 year records for every day the market is huge in this county but the problem is i dont people are not typically afford through. The door now the money. Who for 900. Even though we get a subsidy from. Campbell county is home to hundreds of small hold farms they grow maize and vegetables and produce cattle feed. The yield is a familiar just enough to feed the families farming the land so adding a bio gas unit is a big deal. Feeling someone who was able to of food work she saved some of the money she makes will has 600 egg laying hens and her cows and money to secure a microlight. The bio digester is fed with manure mixed with water and underground pipe takes the gas produced to her kitchen. I wanted the plant after i had seen one as my neighbor was the community took it we get it cooking is so easy now i used to have that kind of if i wouldnt go buy charcoal and it was very expensive gotta. Go now going any now i have no problems i come home late and can have subsequently in 10 minutes. That they knew i could be gone like a byproduct of the by a gas unit is a nutritious from entering agent that can be used as organic fertilizer but this year the rainy season is very late many wells have dried up and farmers here are worried that crops will grow. Buying water is their only solution. Live in a monotone whole apparatus of already we are suffering because of the drought we have to buy water and it is very expensive its hard for us we need water vegetables and our own animals with the money she saves using bio gas phyllis can afford that and in a years time the loan for her plant will be paid off she doesnt regret the investments and slightest the biogas system has transformed her life for the better. From kenya we have to prove the capital of the democratic republic of congo where we made a bond that not only put this is moving but also some very old rooted in spelling full of music in our it could hear us all the way that. Paris unique costumes and an original sound the band full music playing and the concerts a jazz festival dizzier the name says it all full music means music from garbage in the local lingo among which. Everything about this group is impressive especially the fact that they play instruments made from west everyones dancing it was amazing the. Things. Everything made out of west the idea came from good phoned up disco crane he finds his inspiration at dumping sites. Yes yes. This bottle produces a nice sound and me far so lucky no. This will make a good instrument for our music. A lack of proper Waste Management and recycling facilities has caused kinshasa to be littered with discarded plastic and other waste commit a music i came here to look for things that i can use to make Musical Instruments but i also want to draw attention to their problem of west management in kinshasa the city is really dirty. Recycle things is interesting turning a waste into instruments or using it to create costumes some people just throw stuff away but i look for ways to reuse trash because were still not good for our well being with the ability to get on the good of. So rather than buying instruments band members create their own from these kind of objects. Using. Scrap metal plastic bottles to install water pipes to make their instruments the group has gained a following of their signature rhythms and inforced promotes recycling in a city that produces as much as 9000 tons of waste every day. 3 it is my wish to see this music dont radical all over the wild and also to raise awareness about the importance of west management especially in africa is that. The music is what we would like to find a good representative who can help us spread this message through our music and. Most recently the people form and on the same time also want to teach young people to practice recycling and this one. May not have the solution to the democratic republic of congos vast garbage problems but the hypnotic music and upbeat songs are helping them to get their message across to an ever growing fundies. And. Very cool indeed as personal because its all done using recycled western materials i hope you will hear more from the bonds in the future and i hope you enjoyed these with still now its time for me to say goodbye from uganda still sustainable protected environment and.
