A lot in store for you on the program today heres a quick peek at whats coming up. How to charge your phone by riding a bike. Why recycle tires are good for more than just artistic creations. And why the disappearance of wild dogs in zimbabwe is a threat to the environment. We stopped the show in south sudan a country that banned the use of plastic bags following kenyas example the countrys government says the Plastic Bag Ban has already reduced pollution in the countrys capital city by up to 50 percent but there are still big challenges ahead many say more needs to be done and are continuing their campaign in the countries markets. Imposed a ban on the important use of plastic bags some time ago but there are still plenty around thats why jubas former deputy mayor. Talks to the people directly about the hum plastic bags cause while the number of bags used since the law was introduced this still allow cover when it is about the issue he says my dream is to have even a citizen in juba realise that. A cleaner environment has greater dividends for all of us and that we will have a cleaner job or. Reusable bags are intended to replace plastic ones but some of the market vendors here say that change is bad for business for the prize of one new usable bag they could purchase 20 single use bags for their time like a very were used when we used plastic bags we would give them to our customers for free. But now we charge them for the goods themselves and for the bags that they use to take the goods home. And that means everything is more expensive. But now some of your sort of fresh. And in fact many residents still use plastic bags something quite evident on the streets no fines have been handed out thats another reason that so many people have been searched and there are others i prefer using these black one because you saw my advantage to me to go faster can feel i have my items inside here and you can help. Prevent. Them from making what is inside work well as this one cannot prevent that so this one i can keep in my mind as you can see our morning i. Am a small sum of money so even if i walk by the wendys one remains. South sudan became independent in 2011 and became its capital city over recent years that have collation has increased steadily more and more people are moving to the apple center in search of work that has led to congestion and increased sanitation and ways to disposal problems managing the refuse generated by the capitals 400000 people is one of the Biggest Challenges the city faces plastic bags form a sizeable portion of that waste to move the bun forward once the environmental awareness raising phase is over bill thirtys will start imposing fines on those found with the beds when it is when it is prohibited it is prohibited and the next thing is 0 tolerance policy that we are going to do is that. We are going to make citizens who are carrying the plastic bag or small goods in a plastic bag responsible for that crime Juba City Council also wants to stop any plastic bags from being imported into the country but that will require the involvement of several administrative channels that i cry that this place should be clear that we must not litter once this behavior become part and parcel of the citizens of juba that they would be telling themselves littering is a crime that is when i would go home and. South sudan has been in the grip of a crippling civil war for over 5 years now but a peace treaty was signed several months ago raising hopes of an end to the conflict as a result people who fled cities like juba are now returning to what should be increasingly clean and green places comes to the countrys Plastic Bag Ban. Searching to germany now many people here ride a bike to work even in the winter but the murder from what is now so popular that some people even push pedals for fun you heard right not only on the street but also in the library and they have a nice side effects see for yourself in this weeks doing your bit for the environment.

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 part. We share your story. In many places in africa apes all threatens thats because theres large scale deforestation in many countries but also due to the spread of farming the animals have found one of the largest sanctuaries in uganda why is that n. T. Well thats because there is an expression of high density of primates and killed by the National Park 13 different species so now the park has become one of the countrys most important toys to attractions we joined a tall and has this. You have to head deep into the forest here if you want to catch a glimpse of key bally National Parks famous inhabitants such as the red color boss monkey no where would you find a higher density of primates then here in western uganda it boasts 13 species in all not including humans. But where are the chimpanzees chimp trackin is one of the parks most popular attractions up rio we have a cure for this but nest the chimpanzees build each night is the 1st sign of their presence so far and making mistakes is really a very point done on differing prices because this is one way of avoiding the enemies. Or predators and also continuous for human beings what role can we continue getting bird feeds on our beds overnight but you keep changing this after more than an hour of tracking the group discovers the chimpanzees or rather the chimps discover them. And they call out to notify the others. Thank god. Thank you. For this group of having to eat animals its not deferred contact with tourists they are still they could be dangerous so visitors have to follow the rules like maintaining a distance of at least 8 meters. Of. Chimpanzees eat on sand termites but also fruits and even meat. Yes. They are very safe in kigali because the local people benefit from their being protected. 20 percent of the pack entry and other fees goes to the local community. And residents get controlled access to the forest. Grasses. Provoke come forth from the course specific to treat species right through their management. And the group given and given protection theyre going to for this. Once. This is end the leader of the chimpanzee troop. Your mother when you were young and was in both the. First in the film and the higher ranking and they speak in depth and then it comes as a surprise to many to men that chimpanzees hunt and eat all the primates. Hes one of them would be contact when he comes through the chimps hunting their markets would find it very good to go bust monkey. Knock on the way total bust. They hunted bubble and or their big. Big target 2 stories to grab the babies being of each. With a 150 dollar trekking feet tourist an important source of income for the National Pack and when after their toll they understand the trait in species better the are more likely to take a stand for their protection. It was a better experience this goes back to the look at us they relax in their trees like we do at the beaches at home they help forward their living from it is it was a great experience to know i didnt know that and the other thing is i liked how they put in it they kept making funny noises to communicate to themselves. He values 1450 chimpanzees are ugandas not useful feel ation of this endangered species the closest living relative of humankind. So we go from the beautiful forest in uganda to recycling business in germany where the cars bikes or tractors most stars have to be changed regularly long before the rubber starts to crumble and becomes news and to the owner but rubble is actually an extremely long lasting material and thats why recycling to us has Great Potential all the things that can be made from then you can see in our next photo. Is this the end of the road for these tires that trade has worn down and then no longer safe for driving but what others throw away is a valuable commodity for one Company Based in eastern germany danny shell but is particularly interested in large truck tires take of it i have larry tires consist of rubber Natural Rubber and wire and my own wire is here in the tread and along the rim and those are 2 components that can be separated easily when you remove the wire with a magnet leaving the rubber. In the time manufacturing process heat is used to compress the rubber making the tires firm and heavy. So special machines a need to shred them. They use as much energy annually as 1200 households. Danny gets the tires for nothing. But his recycling company near to speak o. Does have to pick them up from carriages and tie dealers. And because the truck tires the so bulky only 100. 00 actually fit into a container. I really 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 orders of defensively. But in base design a catch you have an owner doesnt have quite as far to go she gets her old material for free from bicycle shops in her neighborhood. A lot of her products are made from in achieves. As. Right i look for inner tubes with specific wits because i need them for various products happy and full of and i tend to focus on what i call price pieces which might be impostor 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 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 you know its 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 vegan 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. Compressed with the force of a 1000 tons theyre pretty tough. We didnt german 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 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. The idea behind honey i sing the energy in the song to homes is gaining ground in africa and indeed in nigeria but when it is now being used how do we maintain this resources how do we manage the homes that are part by solar and all of that well 2nd nigerian decided he wanted to do something about it so he said what he calls a Solar Academy is teaching young people how to manage solar plates so i installations and all of that is also taking young men and women off the streets by this lets go to this academy. How to properly install repair and maintain solar panels thats part of the basic curriculum at the a stephen Renewable Energy academy 40 kilometers north of lagos the Educational Institute opened in october 27th and so far around 145 students have received instruction songwriters from the south so most residents are nothing you get to be prepared for the sun like tonight well i dont hear enough of connect thats all. Positive i make it through the training is broken down into units it begins with a classroom session where the students are taught the basic principles and applications of solar energy that is followed by hands on experience outside the classroom where the students learn more about the competence of the Solar Energy SystemBattery Charge controller and solar converter and most importantly how to successfully markets to solar power kit you have been able to understand and know how to talk to clients and how to. Properly. Feed. Because sometimes. The capacity of the system for the plank coyote identical is a recent graduate of the Renewable Energy academy he recently installed a Solar Energy System for the shop now more and more people are turning to solar palm. I thought i moved. It was during that training and now go to know that a lot of things that we have been doing wont be for boats now ill never go back on. A steven academy only sonny a portable and his team for the summer training free of charge but the company also sells pay and she go packages to people in the rural areas it is a win win situation. For all to be able to create more jobs for africans where we. Saw on many of these students graduate house to be taught how do i do designs of a solar system how do i install it and how do i maintain for soft inability a stephen Renewable Energy academy wants to expand its Educational Program the team is planning to build another academy in the niger and capital abuja. Did you know about african wild dogs extremely successful hunters they are kill rate but chase is about 80 percent and thats far more than loans and thats just one example the pack animals are key to calling heavy of all populations once healthy to keep the ecosystem balanced but there is a problem for the. Land and sea theyre under threat believe it or not wild dogs used to be a common sight on africas savannahs in the mid 20th century they were around hoff a 1000000 of them but their range has grown more and more limited and their numbers have been decimated and this weeks show we had to southeastern zimbabwe to visit conservationists working to give these unique animals a future. As the day cools down life in the bush in southeast zimbabwe begins to reawaken. Meet with the african wild dogs spend the hottest part of the day sleeping in the shade. Now in the Late Afternoon the pack comes together ready to go out hunting. Its the perfect time for jessica water maya to check up on them she heads a conservation project for wild dogs in the Survey Valley conservancy. Its a protected area covering 3000 square kilometers. But they are incredibly social pack animals so just the way that they interact with each other the way they take care of each other where they take care of the puppies or pack members pull together to look after each other and very different from other social convoys for example line when wild dogs either kill the adults or let the pepe see 1st they will look after the injured they will take me back to the injured while dogs are among the most endangered carnivores in africa with population numbers of around 7000. 00 at most the souther valley conservancy provides a large area for them to roam freely which is exactly what they need to survive. They prey on gamers such as in parlors. The Survey Valley conservancy was originally formed from an amalgamation of large private ranches that finances itself through tourism and controlled sustainable hunting. Outside the conservancy little of the original bush remains the local population has grown on more and more land has gone over to farming leading to increased contact between wildlife and humans. Victor cha bio of the African WildlifeConservation Fund is responsible for the School Based Education program. Whatever to was by a teaches the children about the food chain and explains what happens when one species dies out the idea is to help the children learn the importance of conservation was no photos example i think its great to learn about protecting the animals no were not going to go no no i know that if poachers come i need to report it to the police or my teachers know when you are going to do you really see that even if you see snake if this is a they will tell you that. Doesnt lead us to kill these things they see ready music leave this think its good to leave because its only easy if you can put it for it was. This school we have never it kid you are is that for pussy thanks but african wild dogs are still exposed to danger even inside the park as we discovered the next day 2 dogs got caught in a snatch trap jessica water my is at the scene when the ranger arrives. So we rest just soon as possible within 20 minutes of the report but im 40. The dogs had already strangled themselves and suffocated. Its a senseless killing the dogs want even the poachers target. The traps were set to catch antelopes. The dogs had tried to free themselves by biting through the wire but the copper was too tough still its the alpha male thats been killed along with another adult dog the best hunters of the pack. Why a snare traps are almost invisible in the dense bush and the area is vast but the rangers have still managed to find or around 50 of them. As conservationist working in africa we have a duty to to protect them to make sure they stay for future generations and they are completely genetically distinct species and once theyve gone theyve got the rest of the pack will stick together until the juveniles are fully grown fortunately the alpha female wasnt lost otherwise the pack would have broken up but with her make now gone hopes of gaining a new litter of puppies this year look slim. And thats how we come to the end of this weeks edition of eco africa thank you so much for being a part of the show and to and show you join us again same time next week no its a way from going to fasi park in Lagos Nigeria so you same time next week and its also time for me its a farewell from job in south africa but remember you can always check in with us on our social media platforms or our eco africa website so long for now bye bye.
