Africa her lousy banks and t. Presenting the program from johannesburg the reports on todays program will take us all over the african continent and a bit of europe to have a quick look at whats coming up. Well be looking at how. Youre about and proud investing in germany like job growth areas of nigeria and. It is. Nearly every day there is news about all the species going extinct directly or indirectly to Human Behavior but surely one of the coolest and a necessary to the cheese is the illegal wildlife trade of course reports takes us to cameroon so Conservation Education Center dedicated to helping vulnerable and endangered species. I knew on arrival takes in he surroundings of the Wildlife Center income in these african gray parrot was brought in by a local practice the sumptuary encourages newcomers a fast paced inquiry and. Then can give keys to text him to examine back to movements main of the pirates the sea conditions. The sights injured and their feelings clipped to prevent them from flying head veterinarian john and young explains how the bugs get here with. 2 sources. Sujoy i mean for authorities and a pleasant year or bible nation if you carry them on this you dont need to leave the animal to come on the revenue resources see your own donation were done by animals the vets we the patients and check their vitals. Damaging further polluted neighboring new ones to grow. At examinations and take meant the bugs are taken care of until very well enough to be released back into the wild. As many as 25. 00 pirates are brought to the Rehabilitation Center every month from all over come iran we are receive more than 5000. 00 pots without incident parts and with us is a huge number i read last on the way out so what im 5000 are released so many thousands thousands of them. The highly intelligent guards are very good at being impressions. But. For that reason theyre one of the most popular and then pets the wild over people will pay as much as several cows in europe for a single parent. So profitable but the ones common species are nearly disappeared is some african countries. Come room was once one of the wilds biggest exporters in 2016 the global trade in one african paros was officially banned but that hasnt deterred all purchases. So if something is not done about them then for 31 i have them because over the years they have been exploit that. Without. Without a sense of. How long on the exploitation or on by vera it will solve all wars a 1000000 barrels towards where will you leave the contrie. So theyre not a clue would be to live without them this trip they need to go on. A limb be a wet live center was established in 1993 by the cum iranian government and the pan religious foundation for the race q. And rehabilitation ovide life from bread to crime its the medical stuff he supported be countless volunteers from kameron under the water and. The constant influx of parents presents a whole challenges for the wildlifes into finding is needed for food in magazines and there is a shortage of spares african great pirates need a lot of exercise to keep their muscles toned in good natural habitant they can travel up to 10 kilometers a day. There are plans to build a large cage that will enable the pirates to practice flying before being released. Its a success when they pull one out of my back into the water. Remembering that many come and some. From. The. Some not got to be released some die but its time you were released just one on a more it is exciting that the sockless. One on the mind of forest one more on the mark and being and into conservation. Another animal at home or in much all of the african continent is the hippo you probably wont see your posts for sale of markets or kept as pets but theyre under pressure due to destruction of their habitat the situation in kenya is especially drastic now scientists that have found that the massive mammals may actually be crucial for the ecosystem. In a time 81500 kilos on average that he plays one of the most impressive mommas in africa but numbers of the creature have drastically declined in kenya according to our dr direct. In kenya what were seeing which is really devastating hippos is over grazing over the past just where the hippos need to go if you go to Nairobi National popular find all the area near the hippo pools areas are overgrazed its not by hippos its actually by livestock so what were seeing is the food for the hippos has been completely eliminated and hippos of dying of starvation peoples increasingly have to compete with livestock for food people started bringing their animals into protected areas because of the increase in door to periods Global Warming is also accelerating the destruction of their natural habitat. At night hippos graze on land but in the daytime they have to be in water theyre very sensitive to the sun and so when the lakes and rivers dry up theyve got nowhere to go when playing numbers of people could also be affecting the eco system of rivers and lakes in east africa researchers from the university of on to have been belgium on the rise to put down they found on the banks of matter if it contains a high level of silicone vitae nugent for diatoms are just present in water that produces oxygen and feeds many species no wonder becomes an imbalance between nitrogen phosphorus and silica. Other algae take over the competition between the diatoms on the other algae and then we lose the diatoms of the dominant species and then we lose also the function of these times i feel you need the system according to the scientists the people city contribution accounts for over 76 percent of the total silica transported along the maori of our city case vital to the regions aquatic a consistent this new chant is the lifeblood of east african lakes and rivers and one that is now lacking. And thats why we see fish dying sometimes you hear in the lake and i wash all of fish floating to the surface because they die theres not enough oxygen and this is why because the replaces the diet which actually are a very important part of that he can system so this is a really interesting study that has uncovered a mystery that i think everybody knew hippos are important they didnt know this particular really interesting story behind why he pulls us including raising awareness about the key role he plays play is vital to their survival researchers say without the creatures the system will be thrown out of balance with dire consequences for people and the environment. Now heres a riddle for you what do hippo poop and mobile phones have in common anyone out there know well they both contain silicon. Youre right that sounds like a fun fact thats worth sharing with our friends and colleagues mobile phones busy actually can save a lot of different metals and minerals and many of them can be recycled but as is often the case with high tech inventions plenty of apart end up in the way stop in this weeks doing your bit we see how an artist is giving life to anyway. Its not easy to make a splash in the art saying but it does it he kofi has done it his works are unique and arresting. And they give new purpose to discarded cellphones was he saying integrate old phones into my work to give them a 2nd life and to draw attention to the fact that our lives are so intertwined with technology or so digitalized that allows us to be connected but we should also consider the Environmental Impact. Manu gets old phones from several sources what he cant use he passes on to recyclers after breaking them up he glues pieces on to canvases like mosaic tiles. In 2 years manu has used parts from around 24000 phones his works have made him a prominent contemporary an artist. Hes even had exhibitions in belgium and france are with a political message which is that products dont disappear when were done using them in fact most will outlive us all. And how about you. If you are 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. It is serve our progress comes across Manufacturing Processes simply produce a lot of waste and one major source of this waste is fabric dyes the textile industry works with toxic compounds most of them are made from Petro Chemicals now start up in france and environmentally friendly alternative using bacteria to generate. In shades ranging from burgundy to blue. You this may look like modern art but its virtually a natural process at work believe it or not these blue color trails are made by bacteria. That you know weve known for decades that microorganisms can produce pigments what were doing today is expanding their production to an industrial scale that would have you to replacing the production of patrol chemical dyes worldwide and on its own. 70 blatche and beyond. Say theyre the 1st to study this extraordinary natural process theyre the founders of the french start up based in toulouse they see these microorganisms this Great Alliance that could be used to color all our clothes without any chemicals for years they worked to identify the microorganisms best able to produce color in 2015 they finally developed a low carbon method to obtain pigment for dying textiles its a method thats been used for centuries in the Food Industry you know we allow these microorganisms to ferment to bit mike fermenting beer. But instead of consuming sugar to make alcohol the microorganisms are consuming sugar to make dyes also in his you can because of that. It takes a week and warm temperatures for the blue pigment to appear the substance is then tried to obtain a biodegradable powder. Power suitable for dyeing different types of fabric and depending on the formulas we apply we can produce colors ranging from burgundy to light blue do all of. This biotechnology could change the face of the fashion industry. The textile industry is one of the most polluting sectors in the world. It uses a huge amount of chemicals to make diamonds. But also 100 kilos of petroleum are needed to make one kilos so in our everyday clothes theres a kilo of petroleum just for the dyes. Or dismissal of it if we take just one piece of clothing like a t. Shirt or a pair of trousers for instance 10 to 40 percent of its Environmental Impact is due to the diet soda. Thats purely we are effectively going back to the story of to lose because they were creating dies out of plants until the 19th century then petrochemicals arrived now we want to develop again a production made out of renewable materials just about all the material went over. So follow the startup has produced several kilos of dye powder with the help of the bacteria but they will need to improve the process if thats to compete with petro chemical dice to its use costs theyre planning to use i could cultural waste as a substitute for sugar. But its easy when its a big advantage is that we can take all of the leftovers like stangs leaves or other parts of the crop and used them as a source of carbon so we can kill 2 birds with one stone. But. 5202170 plash and his team expect to be producing several tons of dye powder a year we might then be able to find clothes died without pigment but they would need more time more money and more Production Capacity to become a serious alternative to the Petro Chemicals industry. Here in my home country nigeria a portion of the population is not connected to the electricity grid that means people especially those in the remote rural areas are forced to use fossil fuels for their part and that is not Sustainable Well guess what thats likely to change a crowd investing platform in Europe Germany is looking to finance Renewable Energy projects here. Its hard to miss the solar mini greed on the edge of the village bright and shiny in the sun this is. 3 hours from lagos by car its isolated location was more of a factor when scaling the solar panels and environmental reasons connecting the village to the National Call grid was not considered worth the effort so many people here make a living with agriculture some including millie alterations like richard the bearing the sheep previously used to feel fortunate rates to run for grinding machine is now a part comes in the same level. I bought 500 now worth of pocket now we can leave the lights own minds theres light at home and palm of my 1000000. Was different when we use not all home. Phone and get. This skeptical the 1st many here have since switched to green energy. And the 500. 00 households now get their power from the solar grid. That means france fewer c o 2 emissions according to Nigerian Company rejects. Some funding for the project came from a German Government agency the Renewable Energy business actually is 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 this by deploying in the with these locations. The project is also a German Company based in frankfurt. A crowd investing platform called better quest raised 220000 euros for the celebrity greats in nigeria. And c. E. O. Marilyn tape says the company is paying customers who want to invest in construction ecologically one church in other parts of the world. So. 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 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 all the crap from the platforms at the moment the solutions to that money can come to africa small and Medium Sized Enterprises to create a tricity into villages. 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 can cause serious pollution but for now the mini grid has improved the lives of many here boosting their businesses and improving the brain. Education is a basic human right yet millions of children and young people still have no access to it last year starving 264000000 Children Worldwide where unable to attend school yes and talking and around half of those kids live in Subsaharan Africa for instance a farm is often cant afford to send the children to school all the kids themselves have to work doing regular classroom hours luckily some now have the opportunity to attend night school. When he whistles the hurt follows. Every day germany takes these counties many kilometers through the highlands of le soto looking for grass and water. Hell soon be 14 and has worked as a herd for more than half of his life. Every day im out here crazing the animals where you will go on it you have to make sure they get enough to eat i like their work its also the only way to survive here. The cows to money tends to belong to a farming family in simone kong a small town in central a soldier in exchange for his labor he gets a roof over his head and he gets to keep a calendar the end of the year. The young teenager doesnt have time for school his parents have died so germany has to fend for himself. This is my 1st job. But its the 1st time ive been treated well. The last farm i worked for for example just didnt pay me. Im graver things are going better here. In lesotho one in 3 boys of school age works full time as a livestock herder often miles away from their family and without any hope of going to School Full Time most of the boys are illiterate and will likely remain so for the rest of their lives. You your smile your row is familiar with the situation you have to leave school after 2nd grade money so you could look after his mother and 2 sisters. He says thats common in lesotho but it wasnt the life he had hoped for. He wasnt maintaining. But because of the this is. 2 and living on the big plane i was supposed to but although it wasnt nice because even though. Were reading us. The dogs they didnt even feed us theyd leave does like this leaves. Us quickly learned that not having an education can make it difficult to fight for your rights. Over the years he paid for both his sisters and their childrens schooling with the money he earned as a shepherd. He also managed to put aside a tiny bit of his pay until he could complete his own education now every evening he shares his knowledge with the young herders in simone kong. When they finished tending to the animals for the day they come to us the Shepherd School germany is also here. They study reading writing and arithmetic. Beauteous teachers on a voluntary basis he believes that a basic education can change the young herders lives. If. They have been to bed. And they didnt even know where they. Now i do claim by almost 30 years that here but then youve got another subject is Health Including aids prevention its an important issue in the sotto which is the 2nd highest rate of hiv infections worldwide. Under warm meal or sometimes provided when there have been enough donations for many its the only proper meal of the day. Socialising essential to the time spent here. Wake you have to care for their animals then you were born here. With other people but you already have been here is a separate school where the learn how to spell ace is where they live how to speak with others is where they live in if need be. To learn everything the hurdles come from far and wide. Germany walks 10 kilometers every evening to get here. When i can read well write well i want to teach to. I want to pass on what i can. But germany still has a long way to go the next morning he returns to his solitary work in the hills like so many other livestock herders here in the soto. Weve come to the end of our show for today thanks for watching i hope you tune in next time my name is the congo and i wish you all the best from Johannesburg South africa and im mel trying with signing off from the big garden in Lagos Nigeria until next week in the meantime dont forget to check out our social media platforms and i think a website by by.
