Of the ideas and concepts people have come up with to help save the environment im really looking forward to the was in south africa a wonderful species that needs protecting but there it is plenty more in store besides that. And making clones out of fish things. And we also show you how design of germany transformed old comic ties into something new. Every year so if africa sees a migration of wells in eastern coast and he was trying to know from on to tika weve been cobbs last year so the largest number of words on record off the coast of cape town scientists call savation ists and tourists continue to learn more about these giant marine animals we went along to find out more. At certain times of the year special visitors can be supported in what is a 1st day in south africa. Where the huge mamas migrate from and talked to the woman waters off the coast of mozambique to come. Very good after a few months to return some of the long the same route and researches have seen an encouraging rise in numbers. In the great conservation Success Story since the end of whaling some people stopped catching them commercially in the late seventys around Southern Africa the population have been increasing rebounding. They can be and we think theyre getting up toward the carrying capacity of the ecosystem the population of the west and the east coast of africa have been increasing probably close to 10 percent yet the researches used a hydrophone an underwater microphone to record words sound which the team will analyze later the waters around cape town provided the conditions to study the behavior of the way. They. Had a lot of feeding off the west coast of south africa which quite unusual that al that you. Are feeding in the antarctic and with picking up a lot of juvenile whales this year 202019 hanging around the South African coast that are feeding right in show in falls by a really interesting occurrence fast it gives us an opportunity to study defeated behavior and the sounds and making wells communicate using opera to focalize actions from clicks to whistles and of course songs each is associated with a specific type of behavior. Comparing recorded here to that recorded in africa gives researches insights into which populations move through different areas so we were quite surprised when we 1st Record Company in in force by because of how different we actually bear to look at dolphin distribution because hamburg was only strongly associated with made these animals and around africa mating habits of tropical areas so rather equitorial with africa and of mozambique on the east coast around cape town and we shouldnt just be migrating past although we are aware of animals of summer months feeding as well. While commercial whaling was banned several decades ago the animals still face a number of threats including being struck by ships and entanglement in 29. 00 to several waves drowned in forcibly after becoming trapped in fishing gear images of them being towed to. Appeared in media around the globe. In a very short amount of time there were a number of wells that were entangled in the false bay area and this was exposed by a conservationist and very passionate ocean goes in the area and this caused a groundswell of public outcry they went all the way to the top of the governments hands and this caused the fishery to be shut out really quickly a temporary ban on octopus fishing was recently lifted but a number of sticks have to precautions went to do to prevent any further entanglement of what is in the traps. Further up the coast this right where curve is enjoying some time with its mother to the delight of lukas. Khans about 300 drive from kept town when watching the trucks about half a 1000000 tourists a year. Well tourism is is big all over the world but in south africa a critically important. Huge huge attraction for people with southern right world is an amazing world to watch because they spend a lot of time on the Water Service i often think its the best world to walk having been hunted to the brink of extinction this words have made an astounding recovery through the efforts of scientists and conservationists they can see more suffering through the waters around cape town and throughout the world. Why how amazing did you know that was actually no mom was and not our next piece is about fish and more specifically this it might sound like but it can actually be a useful resource a French Company letter from fish scheme and it is a big heres another installment from our series doing. Usually fish skins are a waste product so they cost next to nothing. Some companies in africa turning them into junket shoes and. French tannery producers lot of the luxury accessories like card holders and comebacks. Dont actually get used to transform fish skin into leather because today its the way studies thrown away by the Food Industry and the catering industry have altered the person on the advantage of fish skin once its been discovered is that it has a unique texture its one of the strongest the most durable letters in the world and very subtle and the tunnel really removes the remaining flesh and cleans the skins and a rotating drum. After soaking an eco friendly town instead of to dry. Then the skins a softened and died with various colors. And now the company is processing around 2000 skins per month. 2 scans that would otherwise just be useless waste. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it. Visit our website or send us a tweet. Hash tag doing your bit. We share your story. Whether there was a bite or trucks it mostly is going to be changed every now and then long before the rabbit starts to fall apart one becomes of it to you should you actually any thing you do a book might seem real and good youre right sandra and thats why recycling tiles has Great Potential they asked so many things that can be made from them big all small even for i need to see for yourself what a german designer has managed to create. Is this the end of the road for these tires that trade has worn down and theyre no longer safe for driving but what others throw away is a valuable commodity for one Company Based in eastern germany. Down the shell but is particularly interested in large truck tires take of it i have noticed larry tires consist of rubber Natural Rubber and wire. Here in the tread and along the rim and those are 2 components that can be separated easily. In the time manufacturing process heat is used to compress the rubber making the tires firm and heavy. So special machines a needed to shred them. They use as much energy annually as 1200 households. Danny felber gets the tires for nothing. But his recycling company near to speak o. Does have to pick them up from carriages entire dealers. And because the truck tires the so bulky only 100. 00 actually fit into a container. I would be able. To keep the driving in the transport costs down we try to source our tires locally but as we produce 20000 tons of rubber granular it from the truck tires alone we sometimes have to travel hundreds of kilometers to get enough autism defensively. But in base design a catch of an hour doesnt have quite as far to go she gets her old material for free from bicycle shops in her neighborhood. A lot of Hope Products are made from in achieves. As. Right i look for inner tubes with specific wits because i need them for various products off. Of and i tend to focus on what i call price pieces which might be impost or patched up or have a manufacturers branding yes i pick out the most interesting ones 1st ones the party. As well as expensive handbags and other one off creations catcher vanno also makes wallets and key fobs that sell a prices similar to those of commercial products. In comparison to other materials the designers says that rubber has many advantages. As a child i mean much one great thing about this material is the supply is endless theres more than you could ever need its also waterproof its durable its completely begun and for many its a Good Alternative to leather you know at the tire recycling company theres no longer any sign of the original form. The shredded rubber is molded into everything from small mats to large sheets weighing 80 kilos. Is emitted into the compressed with the force of a 1000 tons of theyre pretty tough as weve been driven over them with tanks weve developed a new process that allows us to use the maximum amount of recycled rubber some products integrate natural couch work or other substances. But we dont we only use old timers. Customers like the recycled rubber when used as flooring the sheets dont have to be glued down and they can stand up to the elements. That build and felt they are being used to protect the granite slabs in the courtyard. Once the restoration work is finished the mats can be cleaned and used elsewhere. This robust material last for years. On its report is about repurposing Something Else not often found in garbage heaps glass bottles yes indeed did you know that glass is one of the longest lasting manmade materials we have it seems a shame to see so much of it simply discard it but on the Canyon Island of lamu at least some bottles found on the beach im now being put to further good use thats cool steve. Oh. Plastic different place to do. Its ocean clean up the here. In kenya the children might have made a game out of it but for omar this is more of a possible conservation mission. For sammy would have. Plenty meaning we were claiming it would be pretty good every friday every friday its nice to get it when they are you know money spent again were doing here. But it goes a long way you know i think. Most of. His mentor teach and while they are. Like many african countries kenya is grappling with a gut beach problem there are no public dust bins for people to dump their trash and theres no garbage Collection Center with the trash piling up people have had to take matters into their own hands collection and recycling initiatives like omars help to plant pick up. He told us we can go to the beach to swim after collecting trash i connected. To. 80 years ago there extent of ocean pollution really hits home form our studies have shown that the indian ocean is the 2nd most polluted in the wild this affects both the marini life and the human food supply here in laos amar decided to start doing his bit to protect the ocean i was thinking i want to be bored by the sea shore but one time the boat 100 injured. But when i came out of the boat you will abide by. Lusty everywhere and there was peace blanket around you know and there was a lot of the one not doing anything also i thought maybe a good idea what ive written if you can come up and clean up i would be you know just doesnt want to be area to have kids playing there you know thats how it started. But omar deans just collect the boxes he used them to build an Awesome School this is the school now or the board will hear. Were going. About. The problem is when we get the trash out of the city we bring in 2 beloved there was nobody to pick them up but easier conservative island and some locals were not happy when omar opened the school. No one has found this country. So the one they want to move is a move. Be the holes who would be why we see everything but my thought about. The whiskey and the wine used to getting the book for the community important. And weve time the locals accepted that this is when we are quite bottles really do belong in schools. And strong woman you know my child is run and he joined the school in 2018 i feel good when i see kids having a chance to study and besides study and they also learn about the environment and the orders and students dont have to pay to attend omar school this means that support from volunteers has proved vital in keeping the school going. Im so thankful now that everybody will be aware and calm and type to. People. I dont mars square these youngsters are learning heightened lessons not only in the classroom but out in the open air whether ocean needs their help. Now here in my country not everyone is connected to the electricity grid and that means people especially those in the rural areas are often forced to use other sources of power including vivo what is dirty are not sustainable but a crowd investing platform in europas looking to fine and Renewable Energy projects here. Its hard to miss to see them in agreed on the edge of the village bright and shiny in the sun this is coming from 3 hours from lagos by car its isolated location was more of a certain scale in the solar panels than environmental reasons connecting the village to the National Call grid was not considered worth the effort many people here make a living the agriculture some of the grain milling operations like richard apparently she previously used to feel fortunate rates to run for grinding machines now the parklands and the south. Well yesterday i bought 500 now one thing pa credits so now we can leave the lights own minds theres light at home in my 1000000 plus the situation was different when we. All home now by new home and good. 1st kept 1st many here have since switched to green energy. Over 500. 00 households now get their parts from the solar grid. That means suns fewer c o 2 emissions according to the Larger Company really takes so long some funding for the project came from a German Government agency. Attorneys and something that is really viable for nigeria to look into you know because. Like you know nigeria actually has about 55 percent of its population without access so and we know that its not Cost Effective to extend the grid to these areas so 1. 00 of the best with these by deploying many goods to these locations the project is also bolstered by a german Company Based in frankfurt. A crowd investing platform called better vest raised 220000 euros for the celebrity greats in nigeria. C. E. O. Marilyn hape says the company is paying customers who want to invest in construction ecologically projects in other parts of the world our future market is africa because this market is crawling so tremendously and the amount of people there that need it for city is the highest all over the world. So there is much money needed there isnt much potential and also as mentioned the Interest Rates there are very very high so they need to keep the money and they need especially any way of financing there is no solution there are no bangs there who are financed those smaller projects all the crowd funding platforms at the moment the solutions to that money can come to africa in small and Medium Sized Enterprises to prevent a tricity into that. But there is also a dark side to assume that energy be. Manufactured today only last 20 years and then they have to be disposed off and the lead acid batteries needed to store electricity can cause serious should. But for now the mini grid has improved the lives of many here boosting their businesses and improving the breed. For marjie we have not so very remote region of. Want to help our drive from the capital tunis i mean bell Certain National park about 100 years ago wow gazelles used to live here but today theyve completely disappeared from the landscape now an initiative launched my spanish on tunisian authorities as we introduced one full of them back into the world they hope the animals will reproduce in the another true hubby tent and improve the eco system the project wont just be good for nature it should also help to boost tourism. She said yes members of an endangered species that had all but disappeared in tunisia on now back to roam free again in their natural habitat. Around 30 outlets because those are gradually being released in egypt bell says National Park the territory they inhabit covers approximately 20 square kilometers of resettlement in the northern Atlas Mountains is a joint project between spanish scientists and the tunisian authorities for head research. A touching moment and when we bring these animals here in 2017 they were much different now here and in such in such a way i feel that they are they are not my babies but they are my pets you say and i know they will be very much happy in nature although i want to be able to take care of them so that is the main thing i really so so excited and my emotion is so big. The animals were brought over to the region from spain just a few years ago with the hope of then settling into the environment and producing offspring. The project stuff set up expensive enclosures in the future reserve where they would initially be protected and cared for. Their population has since doubled since local ranger i meant ben rumah. His 1st job of the day is to look in on the shy animals. Club him. Check on the animals in the pens every morning ive been doing this kind of work for years now i know how to treat them i know these animals very well and i even think about them on my days off and im not kidding and ive come to love these helpless because its. How do you think. The atlas because l. Is native to north africa but a lot of clearance poachers under changing ecosystem have put their survival in jeopardy Say International conservation groups. The tunisians want to see the gazelles inhabit the region once again on the chances of the Reintroduction Program succeeding are high says the director of the National Park. The animals feel at home in these High Altitude climbs. Weve also made efforts to raise awareness about the animals among people who live around the National Park. And now of course we hope that theyll be safe here and the 10 years from now there will be a big herd of these because elsie in this reserve. Is the population of the outlets because there has been growing so have visitor numbers to the nature reserve. Theres a lot of interest among tunisians in the story behind the reintroduction of venture. For them the animals are also a cultural icon of their region. Were going to protect them and do everything we can to ensure that they settle in successfully thats why we also set up a
