this program is a special edition featuring insects and the crucial role they play in an environment on ecosystems but he has a quick look at that and some of today's other topics. but the mix of biggest national park is a treasure trove for insect research as we find out why that believe. it will be talking to some of just sunday cassim nairobi to hear about the common state insect world in africa we'll also be talking about poor way a young french woman has come up with a simple solution we'll talk with the problem of. insects they are everywhere they are an outstanding nine hundred thousand different kinds of living insects known to scientists that accounts of about eighty percent of the world's species and new ones are being discovered every day that discover those discoveries thang. as to the dedication of the searchers like the team by. some big . national park. just no praying is too small here in the garden gosa national park in mozambique recut a gutierrez out hunting. but he's not looking for lions or elephants he's looking to bag insects. with this. thought this insect belongs to the beetle family. the ground beetle family. if you touch it it's a cretin as cynical liquid although. ricardo works with entomologist. in the wilson biodiversity laboratory. one objective of this research facility is to document the diversity of its insects find riccardo some insects yes. some of them have done some beautiful some of them have been growing ghosts or international scientists work with locals to find out about mozambique's rich biological heritage and ricardo has called thousands of insects for the park's team of experts to identify. spot and promote usually some light markings on the legs just like. the database contains information on all the animals and plants found in the park and that includes insect they play a key role in the future. this is with scientific research and morning. after nightfall is when insects come into their own feet. he has set up a light trap based on the principle that moonlight influences insect behavior. the leaving the artificial light is the moon the insects begin to spiral so that they remain parallel to the light source. it is insects who actually run the world are they are some of the most important elements of almost any ecosystem almost any restaurant ecosystem are they provide and number of services. this without which we would be able to function so things like pollination you know all the smarts without down all the trees and plants without a round this would be able to produce fruit. to people who live near the national park benefit from the protected area in a number of ways. locals used to live mainly from poaching now they have regular jobs. the research is all working tirelessly. with the help of nets they also want to find out more about the feeding patterns of bats . yes they make most progress at night. an expert on bats is using an instrument to identify sounds that human ears can't normally hear. this is. that there was a warning call. the recordings are highly informative this is the perfect place to study this because we have a high diversity of that species diversity of insect species and we're surrounded by areas that suffer from malaria and also where crops so it's an ideal place to study the interaction between bats and insect species that plague humans. it's believed that scientists are only aware of the about ten percent of existing insect species in coming years who researches the garden grocer park will likely discover thousands. thanks in part to a cutter and his net. now we'll be hearing more about the role in play in africa and how they are beneficial to human nature as a whole dr sunday cassy is an entomologist and pest management specialist at the international center of insect physiology ecology he has done a lot of fascinating research into bio repellent bugs as a reliable food source and how insects excellent by indicators of climate change is what africa caught up with in nairobi. one of the critics wrote. about it be five percent of. it various kinds of. missions. so very very important. for instance the economy of the mission in six zero unbolt. could be as high as five hundred billion dollars. by this. this is. also far from. what we do exploit these diseases. and music. to reline. what we have been doing over b.s. is the past commercialized various products in the business of this understanding we able to isolate or carry out bio prospective exploration to find dead insects or isolate these pathogens all these bacteria fungus from the insects culture. and mass produce it and once we have beyond that we transferred his knowledge to the private sector that provide proof bruised by a pesticide as on tiny to do use of synthetic that is harmful to the environment. the utilization of insect for food and feed has really taken africa by storm because initially the knowledge was little known but. we went into these programs and began to let people know all of the value of insect terms of consumption and for food we discovered that there are over five hundred different kinds of incidents that are eating across africa so we began to walk with the police to make us to ensure that stand that's. an asterisk speak now have the first stand for freedom and for food in kenya and in uganda so we need to see more of these across africa and big kenya an example has opened the door for several african countries to begin to embrace the need to have and that story short that these products are available all across the place. change is so important for insects because it affects the development that affects the reproduction and it affects the survival as the temperature warms they develop quicker. and when they develop there's a tendency when their minds very quick are not the crop at an early stage when you don't even expect them to and we're seeing this happen in the order aspect changes in distribution because temperatures warming there is the tendency for to begin to move. from to warm area. so it changes in distribution of patterns. happens climate science has all kinds of impact on insects and really good indicators from one christmas. to pollinating fruits and flowers and vegetables insects give us many of the things we would probably not want to do with honey bees so these are just a few examples as i have all the gardener's love ladybugs because they devour a fed's. cats and his staff breed the colorful beetles and send their eggs to mainly private customers his company has been in the business for over twenty years . not all their beneficial bugs are suitable for use outdoors. if you capture grown lady bugs and want to use them somewhere there's always the possibility that they will fly away so if you deploy ladybugs then only in enclosed spaces. minute predatory mites on the other hand tend to stay put here they've made themselves comfortably at home on some bean plants the staff then harvest them along with the leaves they're attached to the predatory mites have already decimated an entire colony of spider mites here and bred prolifically in the process just a few leaves are enough to provide a customer with more than a thousand of the useful predators. became natural pest control works particularly well if you use beneficial insects at the first signs of infestation you have to look at it mathematically if you have one hundred million pests you need a hundred thousand beneficial insects to fight them that's an enormous number if you only have a thousand pests you only need twenty beneficial insects so you have to identify the infestation at an early stage and deploy beneficial insects straight away it's the tiny pedrosa toyed wasp and foremost is also bred by cats biotech here on these tobacco plants it's helping to tackle a species commonly known as greenhouse whitefly a big threat to commercial crops worldwide the little black insects have specialized in white flies next door where they had a plentiful supply the wasps have multiplied they lay eggs and the living larva of greenhouse whitefly which eventually kills them. business is booming the company sends insects to fight plant pests to customers across europe transport has to be speedy since both insects and their eggs can perish along the way. katz has also visited greenhouses in ethiopia where plant breeders work with beneficial bugs but he says in conventional outdoor farming in africa it's not really advisable. to home in opar name in europe we have the advantage of having cold winters in this period the past population is refused to zero but in tropical or subtropical regions that's obviously not the case the past populations there persist throughout the year it's very difficult to work with beneficial insects when pest infestation levels are high five and in my opinion that can only work in isolated cases and war i ninety five killing so preferably in controlled environments like greenhouses because beneficial insects have their limits the company also works together with the chemicals industry katz's preparing predatory my dogs for a manufacturer of conventional pesticides the industry is working to develop substances that won't kill the little helpers peter katz says that without artificial pesticides food security isn't achievable instead he wants to see chemical agents that have a lower impact on predators they can kill pasts like these green lace wing larvae which hoover up a feds in a big way they're a real boon for any garden and gun as low income as the sun isn't situation it's pretty. shocking it's five percent of gun and access to adequate toilet facilities that means they often have to relieve themselves in. public places and that is having a negative consequence both on the health of the population and. one company called wash kings is offering a solution eco friendly bio digester toilets yes they did check this out. after a week of work the bio digester is ready. around a hundred of these eco friendly toilets have a rather than build in and around the crowd. there invent a deal don't supervise in the construction of the toilets for a community compound of across. isn't that the base of the digest. and they will come and fix their videos might say yes. on that basis on the toilet needs little water that's important so much as water is scarce on down and on and this is how the guy that i just to work to send us your hunch. and with what i know you wash your hands we will go inside. the toilets require little more than healthy little flushing water. liquids and solids a separate edge and then design is added to the solid waste to help it degrades more quickly deal don't i would have studied conversation and resource management he made it his goal to provide widespread access to clean toilets access to tell it was for me a challenge i sometimes got to go to the beach play list please yourself to a lot of risk the risk of somebody may be what you know what i'm watching. you and also being also beaten by snakes where us over eighty percent of the canadians have access to clean water fewer than twenty percent have access to clean toilets and that's according to the world health organization generally you have to pay to use public toilets and they're frequently not very hygenic often trucks dump the waste collected into the sea bosun another health risk they'll tennessee for most canadians deaf occasion in the open also hardly in the tracts of option to buy that just was mainly invented for low income households the toilets are not cheap they range in cost from around four hundred to nine hundred us dollars michael of law and his fellow residents were able to finance it if you're going to come out of the auxiliary heat up to fifty of us or to yourself to get out there and take the meat. which is just to be sure again. just to argue see what i'm doing which is going to use your powers and there are more benefits local people working here and a steady income as well as learning transferable skills. more than twenty people have already been trained now i have been working which was helping me alone look up to my wife my children and i'll be able to pay my total school fees pay my bills pay everything about the house be able to do everything i do don't set up his company two years ago last year against a price won an award for integrating social and environmental benefits into its business model. now let's talk about food safety. so day many processed foods come with a sell by date and you open the lot for big supermarkets to be pulled out all the perishables the food comes still becomes even without any of its restaurants have a similar problem what to do with leftovers that are still good enough so when it's time to close the kitchen for the day a young woman named fonts is doing something about it she's doing hybrids it's a concert act that's threw away a culture and it is a concept that's cutting off. solidarity for a chance. to. eighty eight million tonnes of food and wasted in europe every year. that amounts to one hundred seventy three kilos a person. who made a truly amazing restaurant in paris. she wanted an alternative to turning unsold food away. in jeans when she seventeen she set up a solidarity for inch in front of her restaurant. inspired by a concept from berlin the idea is simple anyone can take food from the fridge or add to it. through some vegetables and cold kinds of produce oh well. the fridge is a financed with the help of crowdfunding campaigns. they can be set up in just five minutes. now the fridge is a spreading across from. the message to the studios have the money. to be more aware of the impact of the consumption. like that. if you're also doing your bit tell us about. it. visit our website or send us a tweet. to doing your bit. more stories. for centuries lots of people in africa lived on the plants and animals found in the forest. what they needed. to present day many of those same areas are now national parks established primarily to protect the animals especially when they did ones that are within them from falling great supporters because national park. is a good example ranges up national park in southwestern committal practically around the clock it's their job to protect the surviving animals from poachers people who have been living in this area for centuries hunting for food has a long tradition here. it would be very very happy and we don't have anything that be happy. about. it. but not many animals in coming out of thirty and with extinction rain just and conservationists use kind of the traps to record the bungling populations in corrupt national park. in particular primates. and little monkeys are endangered they're hunted for food or so don't illegally. this is often the only chance that people living in and around the national park have to. but in the village of character things are different the head of the national park has come to visit his give it a ceremonial welcome people here used to be involved in the illegal bush meat trade but now the villagers cooperate with the park rangers the inhabitants benefit from sticking to conservation groups solar power for instance was introduced to the village in return. they couldn't look at people because the center or or the resort affords so for the first time we were consulted at every stage and. became convinced of the fact that we could have differing with any in living inside the national park like former hunter john a for for example hunting had become increasingly strenuous for the fifty nine year old. nowadays he cultivates bananas cocoa beans and mangoes the conservationists would like to persuade more hunters to follow his example. his family today enjoys a higher standard of living than they did in the past. more than a hundred thousand francs i think i could plant even more land because it's very easy money they have a sting is very easy just to break the cocoa beans lead them out to dry in the sun and sell them it's not as hard as hunting i used to have a lot of problems with that. in the community a hole in the head of the village announces a ban on hunting all family heads have agreed to the missions and the sanctions are touched. ten men are handing over their guns to the conservationists the villagers getting ten motorcycles in exchange. the first men are already receiving driving lessons what they used to be hunters. now they'll be able to under school goes or taxi drivers. this truck through the rain forest is quite a meal. under construction tool on foot it takes us to reach the next village. and sometimes when that revitalizes it's impossible. bit axes will enable people to sell their groups at the market but john is hoping the route through the forest with him in just a dock truck he feels that a proper road could attract illegal locus very good a forest is a friend of mine. if this forest disappears i might even die myself i also can subpoena. the conservation program has shown inhabitants that environmental protection can help them triumph tool well of come to the end of this edition of it we hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you so we come your way again same time next week for

UgandaTennesseeUnited-statesCanadaFranceBerlinGermanyLagosNigeriaMozambiqueTurkeyEthiopia thanks and hello to all you have us. on today's program we've got a wonderful report for right here and south africa about the important role livestock herds can play in maintaining biodiversity but there's more of course. we had to be easier to see what's being done to protect the bar so that. we learn how an army of insects can provide excellent pest control. and that lives are unique and still the prince all self legs. if you head out into the open country here in south africa you can't help but notice the thousands of kilometers of fencing that cuts across the land intended to contain herds senses actually have a devastating effect on the environment not only are they a deadly trap for wildlife the also prevents livestock from roaming freely which leads to all the grazing and men's degradation summer it is and now reversing this trend spading an ecological revolution. lead their lives took on to the great plains in central south africa aren't allowed to lead or to protect the grazing they have to be kept on the shore but they can only eat the plants. has years of experience and have seen how the landscape has changed since he's been grazing animals. and has made it. their pitches and. ask growth was not that much but now things we have that it is a process are heading. in that nor is it now changing even on crazing that is more quote actually to. be had as a part of the shift back biodiversity project it supports commercial lifestyle keeping weight lifting land restoring these 2400 hectare farm. the kind who was once much greener and home to millions of antelope and buffalo the hooves loosened the topsoil and the droppings. in a big drug related to the great migrations of the past the predicted employees to lead lives took over the plains. the bush much the political leader is confident that had that's going to help revive the whole region through the year to this referendum. as we fundamentally believe that this method of farming give space for wildlife to co-exist with production agriculture so that's really the simple vision is to find a mechanism by which we can. foster biodiversity on production farms the thousands of kilometers of fences needed for the intensive livestock agriculture out of one of the main reasons why wildlife has disappeared fences prevent the animals from running free such for grazing land in water the often end up tangled in the barbed wire bush much wants to remove or fences on the farm since he started the put it 5 years ago hundreds of kilometers of fence line have already been dismantled and stored in the sheds like this one but it will be at least another 3 years before the families fenceless. in order to study the effects of the fenceless farming methods on the environment ecologists are monitoring the put it over the past 2 years headley such a janine mcmanus and a group. students have recorded the number of plant species selected study sites. in europe. in addition the group evaluates the athlete you decision index the index is the timing by the amount of protein seen on the ground by satellites and allows you such as to compare plant growth in different regions over time. and you can already start picking up changes in trains within way the herd has been grazing especially over a longer racing period in parts of the farm and the green index shows up quite pronounced and we compared it to traditional farms where it isn't quite as pronounced and they seem to be quite a significant color it's just looking at the pixels alone you know taking the green out of pixelization but from that alone you can really start seeing a difference. there are many positive signs in areas that have been grazed by the hundreds of plant growth slow leak world and most are returning to the farm more than $500.00 antelope have been counted and even a loop that was recently cited. i'm a successful. especially since south africa is still recovering from one of the wost droughts in recorded history and. this process continues for the rest of the life of the so that is there any damage to the land and so that even the neighbors in iraq and can be more inspired about what it is seeing in history. we try to take i didn't think about now is showing some signs of healthiness. minnow them so the land of the great and most of their livestock due to severe drought for the ship but this is just something susan turned out to be very successful adding another $100.00 sheep. slowly but surely the product is turning into a profitable venture. it's not just animals that can devastate forests or farmlands fires and heat can dry out the ground so severely that entire sections of forest may die out in the last few years 2000 acts as a forest have been destroyed by fires in northwestern tunisia alone we need wooded areas they prevent so you ocean to provide shade and storm oyster hussam home to you started an initiative called the solly and green and uses social media to call on his fellow tunisians to regrind devastated stretches all the land find out more in our during a bit series. forest fires have become a big problem in tunisia 2 years ago wildfires ravaged the country's northwest destroying 2000 hectares of forest. the result was widespread soil erosion and desert if occasion environmentalist who somehow mobilized people via social media to plant new trees to combat these are facts each see. link may be just a drop in the ocean but as the activist says drops to accumulate he and hundreds of volunteers managed to plant some $20000.00 trees in just one month. we did receive support from the forestry authorities. but the tree planting action is a public initiative anyone can take part of it's the newly planted trees will also benefit local people economically pine nuts are used to produce popular baked goods the initiative soli and green is planning to promote similar tree planting schemes in other parts of the country. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. cash time doing your bit. we share your story. keeping our planet green has become a serious concern around the globe the forests of rwanda are in danger to a small country with over 12000000 people right there is one of the most densely populated countries and africa and many trees they are cut down for cook fires yes that's true z. and that's why a non-governmental organization is aiming to protect the forest buying carding as many households as possible to use energy efficient stoves what as you will see benefit the lives of more than just the people let's go see this. they can only be found in the mountains and even here only in a few forests golden monkeys. golden monkeys are endangered their habitat is shrinking rapidly so conservationists are especially keen to preserve this forest. clo de niro gets off to an early start on her to where she collects wood by the time she gets home she'll be tired and her back take. she can no longer carry so much wood now that she's had a baby so instead claudine frequently it. cooking on a traditional 3 stone fireplace wastes a lot of wood it takes hours for the mother of 4 to prepare a meal as most of the heat disappears into the room and the acrid smoke pollutes the air. about 18 months ago her neighbor. got a new stove she only had to pay part of the cost but even that is an affordable for most people here. with the new stove cooking takes only half as long and there is less smoke pollution. but when. my health is improved my eyes don't water any more when i cook. my cough is gone and i no longer get dizzy. dean got her new stove from an austrian firm called lee connell. soon the company wants to equip even more communities around the national park with these cookers. the plan is to supply $50000.00 households all together. and distribute. a contributing to delay doctrine of carbon so we have those credits. again buying this dough from defunct. this is coffee husk residue which can be purchased cheaply from local farmers coffee is a key export product in rwanda the husks are mixed with locally sourced clay to form an insulating material. that is then used to create clay cylinders like these which are placed inside the stove an element like this can withstand heat of 1300 degrees celcius from its walkies to insulate. to the flow and then create jimminy effect which is needed for efficient running of the few or so in the 2 where it is going to reduce on the smoke on the other products or combustion ones which are not healthy to the user. and to the environment. company developed the design together with the women who use the cookers. scientists from neighboring yogananda have tested how much would they can save with it out surely we meant the money to fund a workshop we are finding that it goes on. 60 thing compared to the previous. consumption. protein used to spend 7 euro zone week on firewood now she only spends a 3rd of that. she has already bought 5 sheep with the money she saved they provide the family with wool and meat. the reduction in wood consumption is also relieving the pressure on the remaining primeval forest an important step in preserving the habitat of the endangered golden monkey. forest are not just home to a larger on and many tiny ones as well insects pollinate fruit trees flaws and vegetables and they're also they also produce many useful tasty items like honey bees walks or so others helps a break down waste and plant otherwise accumulates in the environment and same insects even play an important role in pest control by facing on bugs that prey on useful plants let's see the story on the on the use of insects gardeners love lady bugs because they devour aphids. cats and his staff breed the colorful beetles and send their eggs to mainly private customers his company has been in the business for over 20 years not all their beneficial bugs are suitable for use outdoors though. of ochsner if you capture grown lady bugs and want to use them somewhere there's always the possibility that they will fly away so if you deploy ladybugs then only in enclosed spaces. minute predatory mites on the other hand tend to stay put here they've made themselves comfortably at home on some bean plants the staff then harvest them along with the leaves they're attached to the predatory mites have already decimated an entire colony of spider mites here and bred prolifically in the process just a few leaves are enough to provide a customer with more than a 1000 of the useful predators. became natural pest control works particularly well if you use beneficial insects at the 1st signs of infestation you have to look at it mathematically if you have 100000000 pests you need 800000 beneficial insects to fight them that's an enormous number if you only have a 1000 pests you only need 20 beneficial insects so you have to identify the infestation at an early stage and deploy beneficial insects straight away. business is booming the company sends insects to fight plant pests to customers across europe transport has to be speedy since both insects and their eggs can perish along the way katz has also visited greenhouses in ethiopia where plant breeders work with beneficial bugs but he says in conventional farming in africa it's not really advisable. to home in or in europe we have the advantage of having cold winters in this period the past

substances that won't kill the little helpers peter katz says that without artificial pesticides food security isn't achievable instead he wants to see chemical agents that have a lower impact on predators that can kill pasts. like these green lace wing larvae which hoover up in a big way they're a real boon for any garden now gardens are an essential part of an ambitious project aimed at stopping the certification here in opic every year the sorrow claims about 17 kilometers of. on the green green wall wants to put an end to the growing about it 1000 kilometer long belt of trees and plants that will run through countries like senegal ethiopia nigeria. fossil mali as well and we will see that in our next report the gambia where one young man is doing what he can to help the projects at sea. kamal fatty is passionate about the environment he's the founder of green up gambia a young activist once about sustainable farming at an early age from his father and now he's eager to pass on his knowledge to the next generation. today kamal was visiting his former school to plant a tree with the students green club. you produce for the new government i wonder if the idea was not just right we learned that plants are very important it was a way that makes the dream to fly down people who seem to cut down trees without replacing them so that's what's good brings up is all about it once a stop for a season and preserve them better to. me today they're planting and i'm brenda tree but one day provide shade. me. green clubs plant vegetable gardens on school grounds students are responsible for their upkeep. so far the country has 4 schools with fully functioning green clubs but kamal fatty hopes that many more will be set up in the future to help make the gambia green again. whether this question basically about africa in the global set up and well agricultural activities and climate global warming was just a passing idea and i was like you know you could try that you know go into the garden. and gaze in activities or. counter some of the house that we're going through right now and they were they were they were all in for it. came a funny is on the way to caravan in the north bank region of the gambia practically all the land here has been cleared for agriculture kamal's father has been a farmer here for years if. this is full of trees what well you know what you can see. we use it as fences reuse it. you know people are growing this kind of. naturally now it is becoming bare but there was a pick. is a problem. to minimise the impact people try to green up their region for example with community run gardens. around the whole garden the farm us plant economically viable trees like cashews or mangoes to effectively create a fence protecting their vegetables from animals. these planting techniques are directly linked to the africa union led great green wall. the idea is to plant trees from east to west africa to prevent desert if occasion to adapt to climate change and to improve food security. you know and we know that most of the children here don't have access to. you know. not eating healthily. so this green wall initiative will help to revive communities and give them the power and strength to be able to help themselves 20 countries are taking part in the great green project with the ultimate goal of restoring 100000000 hectares of degraded land by 2030. let's cross the continent now and head to kenya where we do a little bit of detective work are you ready for that i sure am n.t. when i look out for an endangered her before that once roamed the savannah and bushland all over east africa now conservationists are trying to gather as much precise information about gravy zebras as possible in an effort to find out exactly how many are left the black to get some assistance from what's a cold a citizen scientists. at the crack of dawn a group of schoolchildren and like epia in northern kenya had out on a very special school trip. that part of a big project involving many teams across the region adults children and scientists drive as far as they come to find and photograph as many read the separatists as they can. the 1st sighting separates yes but with normal thick stripes so the journey continues. and then they appear gravity separates with a distinctive stripes the teams get to work always photographing the animals right side. the photos the latest saved and analyzed using software was artificial intelligence. that compared with separate is already in the database also taken from the right each separate has a patent as unique as a fingerprint the photos from this large scale search operation and up with this mom daniel rubenstein is a wall of just from princeton university he's helped by tanya bag of both a computer scientist who's responsible for the image analysis they can clearly identify which i'm normal has been and when. they're on the market i have them both beautiful and form groups and. what the research is really want to know is how many gravity separates the left. the most recent estimate was 2350 it's an important piece of information for the kenyan government if they really believe that the 2350 is the real number then they may invest and change policy protections they may engage the people and invest in them to change their behavior in a way that's profitable to them and profitable to the species but it all starts with accurate data. the search takes place say for 2 consecutive days which means the analysis tools can give them a very accurate estimate. daniel rubenstein one piece of the puzzle together from tens of thousands of photos. up on to the transition soil or sometimes up there by having so many people engaged it's not dependent on my ability to find the animals collectively will find a large number we're never going to find them all but that's the beauty of doing a census as opposed to work. it's kenyan safari with a difference a project about nature that relies on big data and artificial intelligence. will come to the end of this week's africa featuring an inspiring mix of small initiatives big project and dedicated people thanks for joining us on the phone so long from here in johannesburg and see you next time see all the best on a good bye also for me i hope you'll tune in again next week for another edition of the show in the meantime please visit us on our web pages and media handles. signing off from the fossil park in lagos nigeria. it's going to. be. much. more. climate change. the state ability.
