Plenty to talk about when it comes to the Environmental Issues today we have a few reports that we hope will cheer you up a little. Bit in Lagos Nigeria. Looking in uganda right now high near to eightys a similar picture here for example ever since the government imposed on dont equally felt the impact we know tourists coming through the research insufficient Funds Available to buy food and a medication to cater for the animals well thats on to so much more is being affected by cold with one team but we are glad that you could join us on these new episode of africa i am stronger to nobody here in kampala uganda and heres what is coming up shortly. We know how the corner virus a vacancy humans but what about other primates we visit on chimps sanctuary in uganda to find out in kenya well hear about a bridge exhibit i was not close to on and im leaving grazing butterflies and in ghana well meet a group of young activists read a mission saving the a forest. Lets talk always shall write to in uganda only too aware but the covert 1000 pandemic causes spread like wildfire all across the globe ont he tells affected nearly every aspect of our lives so wouldnt it stand to reason that this aggressive virus also poses a greater risk to our closer to causing the chimpanzees conservationists think it does and that is why one chimp sumptuary is taking every precaution possible to protect the endangered eps. Before boarding the boats in the shows of the mainland just erik windows careful to disinfect the skin and clothing for record overseas the well being of chimps in uganda is known by many nick victoria. That is a constant for this situation that. Were going to forget about them. And also very 4 letter word for. Us is overwhelming that. They Chimpanzee Trust provides a safe haven for 50 chimpanzees of the 95 acre island. Most to blame of victims of illegal white neck trade and human wildlife conflicts. These days because of called good 90 this stuff here in highlight food from the mainland is even more strictly controlled than usual. For example it is up it is by the time we just off it of going from the farmer to the truck driver to the market pool also. So by that i mean that it gets we dont know 100 it on where has come from so well very careful about its all the food we get we disinfected. Genetics type the system its not to send humans to us into their d. N. A. And. So not surprisingly he have so susceptible to many of the same diseases. And while the as it been a case of cold maine teen reported among the chimpanzees so far just short of a coon to underbid to remarry team at taking no chances on the depth of this is a distant past i wanted to because if i was. Given to this excuse in there that another care. Then they might have his chance and if they see anything that they notice that isnt a number in this change then they are able to put cooler that the navy and for many as 2 wars to well come to visit and even spend the night and the number i learned. That also changed because of the recent one day me because theres a cowardly bite from the island very tough for the animals but the loss of income is not being a negative impact on the trusts conservation efforts the income we what i knew from tourism was going a long way in feeding the chickens and also taking care of the stuff and paying them and now were not able to do that so along with already topping into our resolves and were worried of course a little bit can find that about how long we can keep this going or how long this crisis is going to go for as resources dwindle they team up looking to go for a solution despite their picture and dedication to the primates recalled knows it to be difficult but it can give us to steal and if you guys they shouldnt goes bankrupt so this cause for high level of commitment and of education so we are not filming they cant give our gun doubtful in africa people hold that it can lead to this kind of war so our presence. Is important from the time i made that announcement that this happened on the island been counseling the stuff on the one sticking to them which im sure that they could pad for an inevitable but i dont know that walking 20 days such as. The clinton days the out of the away from fund it. Chimpanzees i can see that endangered the Chimpanzee Trusts to help save the species from extinction funded by donations from. Supplemented by income generated by 2 ice visits. The island has been shut down due to the pandemic he plays im not sure how much longer it will be able to continue. 10 times for the chimp. Victoria the repercussions of the corbett 1000 crime felt everywhere in the capital. With professor. Thats right sondra and this is an environmental scientist with an area of expertise in Environmental Health with a hope in 1000 pandemic on everybodys mind and that was also the focus of the eye discussion in particular. Of the virus on the environment in both the shot and the long term. As the traffic is reduced and could get through production has been decreased they missions that would normally 0. Will automatically reach retreat use but this is true for the short term the fact is that when Industries Come back online the likelihood is that theyre going to speed up production to make up for that got. Too close is going to be a gap and production of such items which they have to catch up. Many of the cheaper forms of and the cheap are the most polluting. And you find that as to destry use a starbucks ought to get going because truck so then you do you use those cheaper associates all through your energy as much as possible to at least break you can. We how could she own forests on farms she sends encroaching into wetlands and so forth and all of this brings us into closer contact with wild animals. Now. The transmission of these. Zoonosis these pathogens viruses and so forth from a mills like bats to humans is going to be more probable. I think to have a longer. Engagement. We need to have other people involved we need environmental scientists we need zoologists because you know that the current thinking is that the disease spread from a wild animal to money and to suspect him back about. It just as we have. These are not exist moving from animal to mind go south disease like them all from mon to animal. You need a zoologist to know without animal ghoul cause then thats a potential spread of infection dynamos unfortunately they dont carry mobile phones so they cannot be traced that way you need to do the actual study and. We need to prepare because there will be another just type virus whether it is 3 years time or 5 years time or 10 years theyll be another one we need to know more about environments what is happening around us we need to understand the implications of Climate Change and how that influences all these other factors so we do the right thing right from the beginning. Theres a lot of knowledge with our. Traditional. Custodians of knowledge i did just to test knowledge knowledge steps is we are losing day by day which is not documented we have to use that knowledge combined with the morton approach. To many ways that we can do this but we need to start thinking positive and planning for the future because if we are always in that reactive mode. This crisis.
