Colleague from nigeria thank you sandra i am now tiger here in state to be precise great to have you with us again for happen are packed with ideas on how to protect the environment but also look at some great initiatives designed to make world only to a cleaner and more beautiful here some of them could turn so Climate Change an artist in tanzania employing his skills for the environment accompanying cameron taking of the challenge of recycling new waste safely and how sure up until its all about. Logical revolution. Will start today show in harare the capital of them bob way its true in many urban centers the population there is growing steadily from year to year and that means the need for housing is growing too but not all Construction Projects think about the damage to course to the environment we meet up with an organization that fights to protect vitally important ecosystems. Almost every day nature conservationists come to absolve the land surroundings in bibles capital since 2005 the local organisation has been wanting the language land area. Water reservoir the biodiversity consistence boast of 80 plants in the Great Variety of insect species its one of 7 whittling sites in zimbabwe that he could nest internationally. This area covers about 5 square kilometers but less than 10 percent have been preserved. Out of desperation and because they cant find affordable property in harare some people are building houses on these ecosystems we dont have these weapons we wont have the ground war to make those dreams runs throughout the yet which is what they do they know throughout the year because of these areas regulating the flow from under whelmed they not here to the sea. The wetlands also solve other natural Water Purification systems because they absolve pollutants to the roots and they also help to contain floods when there is success when for but thats not a likely problem here in zimbabwe Southern Africa has been experiencing a prolonged drought simply 18. Increased development is also causing the citys water sources to run dry finding clean water has become a daily struggle for many. Of our as it is always overcrowded when Philip Committee members in need of water and we have no choice but to help them if theres an outbreak of cholera we all be in danger because its exposed. I just. Trust has been set up that oversees various environmental organizations and activists to do that they are looking into ways of protecting and restoring the citys remaining wetlands with the help of local communities and donations but the biggest problem is Land Management say the activists or the countrys environmental law forbids the look made on with lance continue to offer land for sale. The legal aspect. Concerning wetlands is really very important and needs to be address very gently. At the moment we are working in an environment where. The legal aspects are not be known are not aligned his loopholes are currently being used. To develop. Through petitions and Court Challenges the trust has now meant to stop developments or not politically with lance within the Capital Cities limit. Since it is held up as an example of conservation and restore edition its important to record accurate data to work the and to publicize the fact that the system is functioning the way chewed again. Is instruments are called up his own meters theyre used to measure. Underground water is where is or to a new world it gives us the fluctuations that happens during the course of the differences and. Is well is our to monitor or that there is no much obstruction or fall within these wetlands. But challenges remain with plants are often used as dumping grounds because theyre open spaces. To the hollywood lights trust has joined forces with communities resistance and City Council Officials for a Cleanup Campaign also involved with some Invasive Species which block the flow of water in the wetlands streams. We have a lot of illegal activity have a moment. Like. Legal activity whilst protecting lawns. But it doesnt and here are the effects of the Climate Crisis continue to intensify including drought and what a shortage but most important thing is to protect order which runs around the city. So the organization is also working with the younger generations the participation is ideally needed if she wants to continue using the Water Reservoir for the growing city. Now many different ways to take a stand against Climate Change just think of activists. From sweden she has inspired young people around the world to go out and demonstrate for climate protection other people used to ask ills in other ways artist. In tanzania creates drawings and i mean clips to raise awareness about global warming. These star resoled. He stands atop a famous monument in tanzania largest city dar es salaam. And this isnt i remember. Hes an illustrator and animator. While passing the statue on one exceptionally warm day he had a sudden inspiration. Because it was so hard just him ok what would he do in this heat and i decided to do any nation and so the human started to build that conversation with my head like ok this is this is an environmental issue its getting really hot why is it getting hot and so i wanted to start off that conversation through the video. The response on social media was overwhelming. I even had people reaching out to me and say hey can i use this video for my presentation on Climate Change for school go ahead. And gary mandara and the starry soldier have now joined forces to raise awareness about other environmental issues. One recent video has them taking on plus. Sticks waste. And how about you. If youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. Time doing your bit. We share your story. I dont know how our viewers throughout africa feel but it seems to me that the more developed we become the more literally whisht piles up in our rubbish dumps thats not only ugly its harmful because a lot of it contains toxic substances into the environment it is true that broken mobile phones often tossed by the gold site but in some african context the recent huge market for recycling electronic waste for example the Environment Ministry of commerce wants to set up a recycling infrastructure in the countrys largest city to talk with the toxic junk all reported went to the capital one day. Garbage income irans capital your own day including discarded electrical appliances some of the parts can be sold like the metal from a refrigerator condenser but poisonous gases through this during dismantling thats bad for the environment and for Peoples Health the injury or slowly daddy to Technology Takes care of the proper disposal of this kind of west its coming rooms only Electronics Recycling facility devices such as old money to him had drives a picked up a collection point the recycler also collects all the devices they richly from companies for a small fee say visit m. P. O. The last of the services are paid for by the companies and its sustainable for the informal was 12. 00 action we have placed a 40 square feet large container. As in different neighborhood to collect the west say someone in charge at this site is to receive all the west and make a preselection walk. Up urkel him in a court of a nonissue. The initiated process is about 2 tons of you with a month including lots of computers sometimes more than 100. 00 Component Parts are collected during disassembly metal is reusable and some of the electronic parts. All together about 24 people walk at the center a guest in kenya has been here for 2 years. Its a unique shipping ship they do it every day answered entrepreneurs i really enjoy working at this far less because this is a recycling industry where we work to fight against pollution and to protect the environment so im proud to be part of this water on the log on a modern. Cities across all of the different components are sorted and kept separately computer Circuit Boards with the Electronic Assembly contain metals life. Which are sold to melting shops. And lead to kibbles can be reused immediately and the materials are more problematic. Because i want to plaster we have certain types of plastics that come in different forms we have some better trees that cannot be dealt with locally but we have started negotiating a deal with foreign partners in order to export these materials overseas for a 2nd just people. Here i had read his being checked and it still functions around 20 percent of the devices can be repaired and resold thats great for the environment and for the company. And the benefit is that this technology then becomes available to people who normally would not be able to afford it. Producer is one of our objectives is to promote their distribution of modern technology that is to give people who cannot buy a new device the opportunity to get a cheaper 2nd one from us. So if you manage to repair this telephone we can sell it to for half the price than it would normally do from want to circle of christian a format you west gets a new life thats good for everyone and reduces the garbage pile up in the city but there is still not to do they need is hoping for even more Government Support to be able to go big scale and help manage the top syquest income iran. Staying with the subject of waste it is no secret that large quantities of clothing and up in lawn fields shoes dont really fit any better but one john one startup has come up with an innovative plan to tackle the problem snake a rescue it meant old worn out shoes turning them into trendy fresh looking for it not only costs dont know what used it also means you never have to throw away any of your favorite trainers. Sneakers convenience comfortable and fashionable. Really like the pressure of writing her house along the back of every year theres a new air max or whatever it is and people have to have them. That quick on the market make you quick on your feet but theyre also quick to wear out and its not read that they cost between 1. 20 euros every year europeans throw away an estimated 1200000 tons of shoes. Thats all the more shocking given the fact that pretty easy to repair something haagen much all too well but his mission is about more than saving sneakers from a premature to minds. We want to show people a way of having more respect for things that have been made for them by other individuals whether sneakers or whatever so that they appreciate other peoples work. And shoemaker by trade in 28000 launched sneaker rescue customers send in their worn out Running Shoes and get them back in near mint condition the Service Costs just under 40 euros and is now used by almost 200. 50 customers per month. Gets precious little support from the manufacturer is original spec parts a few and far between this is another issue difficult to find the big corporations would rather their shoes are not repaired of course and keep parts under lock and key so this is all our own initiative and we want to make our own of solars which are in any case far cooler than the originals still in our industry. Most choose on the Global Markets and made in china and india in 2017 production in those 2 countries total 16000000000. 00 pence but its often the environment that pays the ultimate price thanks to factories producing rivers with excess died that can contain costs in a general kevin metals. And recluse used. Sneak has come with a long list of troublesome chemicals formaldehyde from the soles can cause cancer and flooring compounds that make the shoes waterproof and not biodegradable. Bentons man what based ngo and khosa helping to improve Environmental Standards and working conditions in the shoemaking industry he says its difficult convincing manufacturers to make the switch to sustainable production. Sneakers leather shoes and other products in the fashion segment with the price does not necessarily reflect Sustainability Standards and whether the company protect the environment or the people making the product we want to see them taking on more responsibility to ensure that sustainability is something they consider in their calculations and not just for their p. R. Front. Meanwhile hes confident that his sneaker rescue mission will grow from 250. 00 pounds a month to a 1000 for him its not just about the financial dividend. Objective is to grow to the point where we can complete the circle so eventually we can give a part of our profit to the people elsewhere in the world to make the shoes at low cost. He believes will become reality and then not too distant future in around 5 years time. Point is the randon rain forest has been the site for the wall longest one. There conservationists gather data on the primates behavior and also walk alongside the. Doctors we went out into the field with a team of the to remarry and to learn more about these great apes. Right just volatile every single gorilla it will cradles national mall. As the gorilla truckers. Out of business. Imitates the gorillas make sure its the bill by because. I want. The rain just keep detailed for a court of whats the awards get up to. That we feed it we are. If we quit every activity where every day. They report. If an animal is injured or hell the park because the gorilla doctors the virgin mary team is dedicated to save in the mountains and is a low level gorillas in season. We all want to go out in this forest we dont take on more outside of. The International Union for conservation of nature has changed the status of mountain gorillas from a critically endangered to simply endangered the total population splits between 2 regions has risen from 680 a decade ago to over a 1000. Churches and has become a significant source of revenue to finance conservation work and support local communities each per bit cost a 1500 dollars last year the park took in 19000000. 00. 10 percent of the parks revenue goes towards the for structure projects in their villages including clinics and schools children here. Of caring for the forest and its what life. We dont want to protect the park with the guns we want to protect in this park with people who understand and. Take that responsibility as wet and that is. Really do. British model Naomi Campbell was a bounce against at this years naming ceremony for baby gorillas an event designed to draw attention to rwandas conservation efforts. And the name will be. The birth every baby gorilla is cause for celebration for its own sake and for the people here. To gorilla tourism. Wow what an incredible job theyre doing now from the mountains of rhonda to the plains of south africa anyone whos been bet we have noticed the thousands of kilometers of facing that cut across the lot intended to continue. This is actually have a devastating effect on the environment whats happening. Well frank says are not only a deadly trap for the wildlife also there to prevent livestock from roaming freely which leads to overgrazing and asian some herders are now reversing this trend however and there spearheading i make a logical revolution. When herders lead their livestock onto the great plains of the in Central South Africa the animals on allowed to linger. To protect the vegetation from overgrazing they have to be kept on. The move as a result they can only eat the tips of the plants. Head chef the dixons in cuba has years of experience and seen how the landscape has changed since hes been grazing his animals here it has made its. Pitches in the past growth was not that much but now since we have had it and you see prices were heading. In that nor is it people now changing even or increasing paper the price is more quote actually. The herders are part of the shepherding biodiversity project it supports commercial livestock keeping while boosting Land Restoration on this 24000 hectare farm. Was once much greener and home to millions of until open buffalo. Whos loosened the topsoil while the droppings fertilized it. In a bid to recreate the Great Migrations of the past the project employs shepherds to lead livestock over the plains to. The project leader hes confident that herders can help revive the whole region. As we fundamentally believe that this method of farming give space for wildlife to coexist with production i recall too so thats really simple vision is to find a mechanism by which we can. Foster bio diversity on production farms. The thousands of kilometers of fences needed for intensive livestock are the culture one of the main reasons why wildlife has disappeared. Fences prevent the animals from roaming free as they search for grazing land and water. They often end up tangled in barbed wire. In order to study the effects of the fenceless farming method on the environment ecologist so monitoring the project. Over the past 2 years ahead researcher Janine Mcmanus and a group of students have recorded the number of plant species in selected study sites. In addition the group evaluates the earth budgetary index the index is determined by the amount of green seen on the ground by satellites and allows researchers to compare growth in different regions over time. You can already start picking up changes in trains with the way the hood has been grazing especially over a longer wasting period in parts of the farm and the green index shows that quite pronounced and we compared it to traditional farms where it isnt quite as pronounced and they seems to be quite a significant color its 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. Areas that have been grazed by the herds are now seeing thicker plant growth. Slowly while the animals are returning to the farm more than 500 antelope have been counted and even the leopard was recently started. A major success for dixon in cuba specially since south africa is still recovering from one of the worst droughts in recorded history. Wishing to see process continues for the rest of us so that there are any time they could be named and to so that even the neighbors can be more inspired about what it is seeing in this take on the project could inspire neighboring fondness many of them saw their london grade and lost livestock due to the severe drought for the shepherds however this years lambing season turned out to be very successful adding another 800. 00 sheep to the herd slowly but surely the project is turning profitable. And thats all from us this week we hope you enjoyed our reports on environmental topics from africa and europe jennas next time one of the addition for now its by by phone youll are you know done last 8 not its nigeria and goodbye from mean kampala uganda do visit us on all social media platforms or even drop us a line if youd like to share with us your thoughts coming we hope to see you again very soon good bye.
