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 the weakest plenty more install besides that. And making clones out of fish things. And we also show you how design is so many. Ties into something musical. Every year so if africa sees a migration of was eastern coast and he was trying to know from ontic tika we think carves last year saw the biggest number of worlds 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 what is the 1st thing in south africa. Where the huge mamas migrate from and talked to the woman waters of the coast of mozambique to come. Very good after a few months to return some of the along the same route and researches have seen an encouraging rise in numbers. In the great conservation Success Story since the end of whaling alice and people stopped after them commercially in the late seventys around Southern Africa the population have been increasing revalue. Think 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 use a hydrophone an underwater microphone to record words sound which the team will analyze later the waters around cape town provide the do conditions to study the behavior of the way this. Lake. 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 we picking up a lot of juvenile whales this year 202900 hanging around the South African coast that are feeding right in shore in falls by a really interesting a current fast it gives us an opportunity to study the feeding behavior and the sounds and making wells communicate using operad 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 recorded come in in force by because of how different actually if you look at dolphin distribution because hamburg was only strongly associated with make these animals and around africa humpback whale mating happens at the tropical areas so rather equitorial which africa and of mozambique on the east coast around cape town animals should 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 to face a number of threats including being struck by ships and entanglement in 29 to several ways dont enforce day after becoming trapped in fishing gear images of them being towed. To show appeared in media or on the globe. In a very short amount of time there were a number of wells that were entangled in the false space area and this was exposed by ocean conservationist and very passionate ocean guys in the area and this caused a groundswell of public cry 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 truck. Further up the coast this right where the curve is enjoying some time with its mother to the delight of on lukas. About a 3 hard drive from kept town when watching the trucks about how from even tourist year. While tourism is is big all over the world but in south africa a critically important. Huge huge attraction for people with southern rodwell the amazing world to watch because they spend a lot of time on the Water Surface i often think its the best way to watch having been hunted to the brink of extinction this was 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. While amazing did you know that was. Our next piece is about fish to a new specifically this it might sounds like but it can actually be a useful resource a French Company makes a letter from fish and hes a big hes another installment for my series. Usually fish skins are a waste product so they cost next to nothing. Some companies in africa turning them into jackets shoes and hounds. A french tannery produces leather for luxury accessories like card holders and handbags. And all measures which used to transform fish skin into leather because today its a way studies thrown away by the Food Industry and the catering industry i wanted to question on the advantage of fish skin once its been discovered is that it has a unique texture and its one of the strongest the most durable leathers in the world and very supple. The tunnel really removes the remaining flesh and cleans the skins and rotating drum. Just soaking in 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. Skins 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 page. We share your story. Whether there was a blight on trucks mostly its going to be changed every now and then long before the rabbit starts to fall apart one becomes an update you should. Actually and its fini youre able to meal and youre right sandra thats why recycling tiles has Great Potential there are so many things that can be made from them big all small even for and 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. Is particularly interested in large truck tires. Lorry tires consist of rubber Natural Rubber and wire bio wire right 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. And. I do have. 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 of the funds it would. Pull in based design to catch a van or 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 widths because i need them for various products happy and full of and i tend to focus on what i call prized pieces which might be in past or patched up or have a manufacturers branding. I pick out the most interesting ones 1st was the past year. As well as expensive handbags and other one off creations catch a vendor 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. But the tie recycling company is no longer any sign of the original form. The shredded rubber is molded into everything from small mats to large sheets weighing 80 kilos. Compressed with a force of a 1000 tons so theyre pretty tough. We didnt have an over them with tanks which 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 in fells castle theyre 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. Our next report is about repurposing Something Else thats often found on garbage heap glass bottles yes indeed did you know that glass is one of the longest lasting mind made materials we have it seems a shame to see so much of it simply discard it but on the kenyan island of lamu at least some bottles found on the beach and are being put to good use lets go see. All the. Plastic different places in the uk. Its ocean clean up the here. In kenya the children might have made a game out of it but for omar ali this is more of a possible conservation mission. For family. 1520 minutes we do. Every friday every friday together when they are you know money again were doing here. But it goes a long way you know i think. Most of. Them while they are on this. Like many african countries kenya is grappling with a got beach problem there are no public dustbins 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 plug 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 ocean is the 2nd most polluted in the world this affects both of them are a knife and the human food supply here in london amar decided to start doing his bit to protect the ocean. You want to be bored by the sea shore but one time to board. But when i came out of the boat. Bad bad bad. Everywhere and there was kings around you know and there was a lot of the one or doing anything else might be a good idea to victimise you. You know just. The area. Where you know. You started. But omar didnt just collect the boxes he used them to build and nicer school this is the school now or the board all i hear. About. The problem is when we get bit far out of the city we bring in 2 beloved there was nobody to pick them out but ease our conservative island and some locals were not happy when omar opened the school. No one has down this country. So the one they want to move is a move. Be the holes who would want all of our why we need everything but my thought of. The whiskey and the wine used to get in the book all of the community important. And weve time the locals accepted that this is when we are quite bottles really do the law 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 a b. Environment and the orders and students dont have to pay to attend on our school this means that support from volunteers has proved vital in keeping the school going. Im so thankful now that everybody be aware and calm and type to. People 2. I dont know our school these youngsters are learning high time lessons not only in the classroom but out in the open air whether the 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 the same in agreed on the stage of the village bright and shiny in the sun this is grandma grandpa 3 hours from lagos by car its isolated location is more of a factor for installing the solar panels than environmental reasons connecting the village to the National Call grace was not considered the best the efforts of many people here make a living with agriculture some of the growing milling operations like richard apparently she previously used a few car generator to run her grinding machine is now a call came from the same level. Yesterday i bought 500 now worth of pa credits now we can leave the lights on at this lights at home in palm of my 1000000 plus of course the situation was different when we used. All home down home and get. This skeptical 1st many here have since space to green energy. And the 500. 00 households now get their parts from the solar grid. That means since fewer c o 2 emissions according to the Nigerian Company really take so long some funding for the project came from a German Government agency the Renewable Energy business actually is something that is really 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 these locations the project is also still good german Company Based in frankfurt a crowd investing platform called better quest raised 220000 euros for the sale of many greats in nigeria. C. E. O. Marilyn tape says the company is paying customers who want to invest in construction ecologically projection 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 Rate there are very very high so they need cheaper money and they need especially any way of financing there is no solution there are no banks there are fine and those smaller projects only crowd funding platforms at the moment the solutions to that money can come to african small and Medium Sized Enterprises to prepare the tricity into that. But there is also a dark side to the solar energy being. Manufactured today only last 20 years and then they have to be disposed off and the lead acid batteries needed to store electricity trunk or serious short pollution. But for now the mini grid has improved the lives of many here boosting their businesses and improving their and they breed. From nigeria we have not so very remote region of tunisia a 2 and a half hour drive from the car told to miss anney is the job bell search and National Park about 100 years ago while gazelles used to live here but today theyve completely disappeared from the landscape now an initiative launched my spanish on to knees in 13th as we introduced one full of them got into the wode they hope the money was will reproduce in the another true hubba tent and improve the eco system the project wont just be good for nature it should also help to boost tourism. Season yet to see members of an endangered species that had all but disappeared into next year are now back to roam free again in their natural habitat. Around 30 outlets because elves are gradually being released in egypt belles says National Park the territory they inhabit covers approximately 20 square kilometers. Resettlement in the north are not lost mountains is a joint project between spanish scientists and the to news you know dorothys forehead researcher. A touching moment when we bring these animals here in 2017 they were much different now here and insects in such a way i feel the way 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 laying saying what i really so so excited my emotion is so big. The animals were brought over to the region from spain just a few years ago with the hope of been settling into the environment and producing offspring the projects 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. Check on the animals and the pens every morning ive been doing this kind of work for years now i know how to treat them i know these animals are very well and i even think about them on my days off and im not kidding and ive come to love these helpless because elves. The atlas because el is native to north africa but lon 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 when they want to 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 atlas 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 adventure 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 Pilot Research project to monitor the gazelles. The data we gather on the animals will allow us to track their movements and help us to locate them so. This type of gazelle tends to roam an inaccessible mountain terrain so the animals off it would transmit as the conservationists can then determine where they spend most of their time and above all how many of them survive.
