Plenty to talk about when it comes to the Environmental Issues today we are a few reports that we hope will cheer you up a little. In Lagos Nigeria. Looking in uganda right now high near to simulate picture here for example ever since the government imposed on lockdown equally felt the impact with no tourists coming through the research insufficient Funds Available to buy food and a medication to cut off all the animals while about so much more is being affected by culvert 19 but we are glad that you could join us on this new episode of africa i am sandra 3 nobody here in kampala uganda and heres what is coming up shortly. We know how the core number one recipe because humans but what about other primates we visit on chimps sanctuary in uganda to find out in kenya well hear about a project that a lot is not close to and im leaving brazing butterflies and in ghana well meet a group of young activists read a mission saving the a forest. Lets start always shall write to in uganda also be only too aware that the covert 1000. 00 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 a 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 in each kid. Before boarding the boats of the shows of the mainland just sheryl crow and those careful to disinfect the skin and clothing for recalled overseas the well being of chimps in uganda is known by land in lake victoria. Nuland that is a constant of the destruction that. The colorful bit about them. And also very vulnerable. Viruses of all in the past. They Chimpanzee Trust provides a safe haven for 50 chimpanzees in the 95 acre island. Most of them of victims of illegal wildlife 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 it just off the top going from the farm up to the truck drove up to the market. Also then pull our supply out so by the time we thought it good we dont know who was under the thumb where its come from full well very careful about its all the food we get we disinfected. Just meats that humans share and then to us into their d. N. A. And. So not surprisingly enough so susceptible to many of the same diseases. And while the as it being the case of corbin maintain reported among the chimpanzees so far youre sure you do on the victory merry team at taking no chances on adept at this is a decision president wanted to give us. Given that this excuse and that another care. Then they might have his team found if they spend a bit of a notice that is an abnormal industry and then they are able to put cool at that and theyre here for many as 2 wars to well come to visit and even spend the night and the number i learned. That arsehole changed because of the recent. These theres a cowardly bod from the island to be tough for the animals by the loss of income is obviously 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 are looking to condo for a solution despite their fiction and dedication to the primates who knows it will be difficult for the caregivers to steal and if you get maids they shouldnt goes bankrupt so this a lot cause for high level of polygamy and under the education so we are not filming they cant divide you know gonda in africa people or that eclipse or this kind of war so i will put is there as for the titans is the point that in the time i made that announcement that had been done i loved the been counseling the stuff on the one of them which im sure that they could pad for an inevitable but i dont know the walking 20 days such as. The clinton days the out of the away from father did. Chimpanzees i can see that endangered the chimpanzee just said for to help save the species from extinction i like to be funded by donations from around the wilds that is supplemented by income generated by 2 ice visits but now that the island has been shut down due to the pandemic he says theyre not sure how much longer it will be able to continue the a one to. 10 times for the chimpanzee victoria the repercussions of the corbett and 1000. 00 crimes are being felt everywhere. Capito on. My desk. With professor christopher garden. Thats right sondra and this professor is an environmental scientist with an area of expertise in Environmental Health with a whopping 1000. 00 pandemic on everybodys mind and that was also the focus of the eye discussion in particular. On the environment in both the short term and the long term. As the traffic is reduced and through production has been decreased they missions that were normally ok watch much we retreat use but this is true for the short term the fact is that when Industries Come back on line the likelihood is that theyre going to speed up production to make up for that got. To close its going to be a gap in the production of such as which they have to catch up. Many of. The cheaper forms of. The most polluting. And you find out as to destry use a starbucks up to get going because truck. So there you do you use those cheaper associates of. Energy as much as possible to at least break even. We encroach on forests on farms she serves encroaching into wetlands and so forth and all of this brings us into close contact with wild animals. And now the transmission of these. Geneticists 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 mock and to suspect you know back about. It just as we have. These are not exist moving from animal to mom go south disease like them all from month to animal. You need a zoologist to know without animal girl because 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. 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 do just indigenous knowledge knowledge that is we are losing day by day which is not documented we have to use that knowledge combined with the morton approach. There are 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. Hopefully the people in charge here in africa will also take appropriate action from ghana we now have to egypt on this weeks doing your bit with a couple of guys who have found a way to recycle a valuable material by turning them into something you could call monumental they call it.
