Next hour i am fond of you know here in kampala uganda heres what is coming up shortly. We will show you how an app can help protect breast species africa. We also show you why so much doesnt always have to be. And how amusing the group was formed in portugal thanks to. South africas western cape is home to stunning plants some of them found nowhere else on earth however a recent report saw the pool this is experiencing the 2nd highest rate of plant extinction in the what do you love spot. On the tentacles we met up with some resources to investigate the region more closely. With. This rubble and is part of the fame both biome a naturally occurring community of flora and fauna in the region around cape town in south africa its home to almost 10000. 00 species of plant many of them endemic as part of the efforts to preserve this unique ecosystem volunteers come here regularly to photograph and document the plans they work field and i say sion of rare and endangered wild flowers also known as crew. So the reason why we have this program is that its just the numbers of 3 compliance that we have its not enough for a group of scientists to go and monitor those species so in the country we have over 3. And could it implant and so thats a massive undertaking. This species of erica is critically endangered that means its on the brink of extinction its found only in this immediate area measuring less than half a square kilometer. Today the crew volunteers a document in ref laura using a popular Citizen Science app called eye naturalist. The aim is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their Data Collection we can only do conservation intervention if we know that there is a problem but if nobody is monitoring what is happening to those populations then we wont know and those species might go extinct without us even knowing about the app allows volunteers to take a picture of a plant or an animal and log the time and exact location and upload the data to the eye naturalist platform then biologists and botanist can access the information and create detailed maps of those remaining habitats. The app also allows researchers like ebrahim to monitor the raspy shes more closely because they know where theyre located as a botanist and as someone that works on plants we understand that all of plants in the ecosystem and plants form that basis of ecosystem and without the plants the things that that sit on top of. The food chain above the plants there when exist we wont exist if it wasnt for plants and so i think to create an awareness about the importance of plants is really important for us. The western cape has already lost 40 species of plants since 1900 scientists estimate that many more are in danger. The principal reasons are growing up in isolation Infrastructure Development and the expansion of agriculture me around cape town many green spaces have already been lost an Organization CalledCommunity Tree is trying to restore at least some of the Natural Habitats and their biodiversity. But what were doing here as we build the planting the ground cabbage and the pioneers that help prepare the soil for the more things that have been. Erikas in recent years that are no longer here. The thought of been polluted lost all of it period and microorganisms so we are bringing those back and making space. Through brain both to come back. In another example this way sis in the cape flats area of the city used to be a rubbish dump over a 4 year period Kevin Cochrane and a group of Community Volunteers planted about 50000. 00 indigenous plants and more than 300. 00 trees on the site. Was about as good in people and their relationship with all species as one and that ideology. When it comes to endangered species charismatic animals such as elephants rhinos and lions often succeed in capturing the publics attention but the endangered plants of the South African famed boast bio are no less important. Raising awareness to bring about change for the better can be a huge summit lets go to rwanda where more than 80 percent of the rural population still live without electricity that means that in the evenings a lot of school i love in. Thats right but its across from income brain give Light Foundation hopes to support problems of students and teachers. The idea is to brighten their lives with light heres our doing your bit for this week. Even after dark the sunlights the past for children and come on you district its all thanks to solar powered lumps. Like many parts of rwanda the region isnt on the National Power grid but now the children have learnt to do homework in the evening. As a result fewer students are dropping out of school for old grade civil so improved in the past they only have kerosene lamps which are unhealthy and dangerous now little sun makes doing household chores safer to. It was all the brainchild of danish icelandic artist all of them he joined forces with a german startup to distribute the lamps thank you for now to African Students for free but sold elsewhere in the world to finance the project the Initiative Also house sponsors we aim to deliver these lands for school kids we have to look at these labs for refugees for example in settings of migration and forced migration we have to deliver our mobile phone chargers to Community Health workers and we aim to empower will enter printers and Small Businesses as much into the ring energy. The little sun project was 1st launched 7 years ago. Its now lighting up the lives of schoolchildren in 15 african countries. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send his a tweet. Doing your bit. We share your story. And now off to the caucasus geographical region known as you asia i reports head its a joy to see me the resourceful residents of a small village that sought to using solar energy to heat water which has a knock on effect of protecting local forests georgia lost 1. 3 percent of its forest between 1992010 thats according to the f a o the aim of the initiative is to provide the people with affordable and Sustainable Energy systems and to reduce c o 2 emissions in the villages. Stage at 6 30 in the morning and i go to open it is already out of the house with a bucket of hot water fresh from the faucet. Which the cows utter has to be cleaned before milking. A little later after serving the family breakfast she makes cheese it requires a lot of patience she can tell that shes ready when the consistency is just right but everything here runs like clockwork with no time for breaks. Well respected as a housewife i have a lot of work to do i clean make the food clear cows and lots of other things that would be a perfect theres always something to do their office floor or. None are good and its a 60 and was a nurse for 30 years she lives with her husband son daughter in law and grandchildren. That i always need hot water im glad we have this system. They received a solar powered water heater from a local Energy Cooperative. That comodo its really had a few i dont mind saying there could be said money and sold a few things but given that only it was my husband who really wanted this level its quite expensive but it is manageable. Like you dont like. Lisa is also in charge of the house work on her home plus the farm and the grandchildren. She still heats water the traditional way on a wood burning stove in the living room she needs a lot of hot water and therefore a lot of wood that would come forward we save money so we can afford the wood but sadly there are a lot of families who dont know how we doing better than some we can pay for firewood the poor families current. The men collect the wood from high up in the forests of the carcasses mountains. Theyre still allowed to fill trees here. Gogu to here is 27 he comes here regularly. Go to estimates that each and every house in his area consumes about 2. 00 to 3. 00 truckloads of wood every year people who want to sit in the. Ocean little would say if we cut down trees anywhere else we could cause rock slides. And that might endanger people in the village. The forest might seem lush but deforestation is rife across georgia the number of trees being cut has to be limited to ensure long term sustainability currently over 12 times that number is being felt. The work of those 2 mechanics is helping to solve the problem theyre cutting solar panels. The machine dates back to world war 2 but it still works there part of the Energy Cooperative the systems they produce here should help to reduce wood burning and therefore Carbon Dioxide emissions. The cooperative as provided solar powered water heaters to more than 100 homes in the village. None are good about it says back from the markets and the grandchildren are awake her son and daughter in law are at work so she has to look after the children no time for a break because its horrible slow like im 60 years old and i think my life is almost over i do anything to get my children and grandchildren a Better Future i hope they have a better life. And hot water straight from the tap is a good place to start. Moving over to guyana to check in on the young entrepreneur who builds how this cheaply and sustainably she uses in mud and all the locally produced materials this idea is becoming more and more popular across west africa one major advantage even when its hot outside but temperature inside the houses stay constant no need for expensive and conditioning but thats all theyve got going for that lets go see this. Technique called rammed earth construction has been formed into a wall. This new house has been built close to gunness capital and using an old method common in africa now its becoming popular in cities. Clomid a year and joy and founded a company in 2016 they realize theres a demand for houses that are both affordable and eco friendly. In a country well even a continent where a lot of things are various a fan of all we for overlooking of ways that we can renewable Natural Resources to build with and most homes in gone are the easy way of cement and materials are important so we just for lets look to see what we can actually get to build when. Its a mixture of sand gravel and clay its just a little bit of cement added the idea is there you know. Our grandparents our forefathers were already living in models before this came up even the china wall was built with god when you go to mali. The mali empire most of the buildings you see there are all gold with. Holes this is how the team builds a wall. They use different mud mixtures layered one over another that gives the house an interesting aesthetic result good exercise through you know. All the walls really solid enough. Just like a sedimentary rock we are mimicking the 3rd dimension rock by default over thousands of years of piling on top of each other over thousands of years while we are forced into process so. When for sunshine the weather and after some time is big its like a manmade storm. The company has built for housing so far it started out with a little prototype building experimenting with different materials and techniques including using bricks made of around. This cafeteria in north and dan i was more ambitious and scale. This residential project is the biggest so far materials are cheap its cost about 150000. 00 u. S. Dollars thats about one 3rd less than the price was invention new building and then more advantages you get very very good in indoor air quality. The walls are 10000000. 00 salinity of the red blade to Room Temperature termites cannot eat it up is proof due to the monolithic structure of the wall hasnt got any matar joints in them so when theres an egg recall that the ground shakes you dont get them collapsing and the fact that they can stand up better to earthquakes isnt the only plus these buildings help save electricity the Building Full school you dont even see us even if you did you know those rules of the i mean its but thats going to be Minimal Health to. Sustain them by a moment you know reduce our carbon prints. The companys business is booming. But a sin and have Business Partner given back to society is well ok 2 think you are good to go we actually train the local people how to have construction so when they also have a skill that they can use a bit at the end and also. If we need to get some more workers in last minute then we can always call people from the villages to come and help us of construction work. With Construction Cost in 30 percent less than conventional Building Techniques and creating a host of new jobs to high surf is helping to lay the foundations for a brighter future. Saving energy would round earth construction is one way of fighting Climate Change but even though an age of buildings need paul carman here is a great war material for producing Renewable Energy in the form. And just. Can make it feasible what you think it certainly sounds interesting and in our next report will find out how it works farmers in kenya on having bio justice installed we think hell over john the organization is not that complicated and super funny for entering the bank. It takes a week to build the unit but soon it will be ready for the 1st load of cum done 2 weeks after that these daily farmers will have their own supply of buy again. Re whatever the buyer digest was a major investment for the phone. I wanted because we would have would have caused. It to cool and how could you afford. To cause trouble here. And i managed to get that money. Went to germany n. G. O. S fair and its local partner Sustainable Energy strategies helped set up these buy a gas unit and 800 others across Campbell County near the kenyan capital nairobi. But if youve got an american with a bio gas unit allow us to use col dong to generate clean and buy a gas tank and nothing is granted so no smoke astrology used which means no c o 2 emissions so each by a gas plant means photons less c o 2 each year. The biggest problem for people here is finding the money to pay for one of the smallest model costs 300 year ago it is for everybody the market is huge in this county but the problem really is i dont people are not going to court. Through. The door now the money to finance it. Even though we get a subsidy from. Campbell county is home to hundreds of small hold farms they grow mains and vegetables and produce cattle sheet. The yield is a familiar just enough to feed the families farming the land so adding a buy a gas unit is a big deal. Fairly soon one was able to of food mark she saved some of the money she makes with her 600 egg laying hens and her cows and money to secure a microlight. The bio digester is fed with manure mixed with water and on the ground pipe takes the gas produced to her kitchen. Area. I wanted the plants after i had seen one at my neighbors who wanted to get cooking is so easy now i used to have got if i wouldnt go buy charcoal and it was very expensive. Now going any now i have no problems i come home late and can have subsequently in 10 minutes. That they knew i could be. A byproduct of the buy gas unit is a nutritious farming thing agent that can be used as organic fertilizer but this year the rainy season is very late many wells have dried up and farmers here are worried their crops will grow. Buying water is their only solution. It live in a mechanical apparatus of already gone and we are suffering because of the drought we have to buy water and it is very expensive its hard for us we need water vegetables and our own animals with the money she saves using bio gas phyllis can afford that and in a years time the loan for her plant will be paid. She doesnt regrets the investment in slightest the biogas system has transformed her life for the better. For helping we hope to prove the capital of the democratic republic of congo where we meet a bond that not only a previous has called it but also some very overworked and instruments full of music equal heroes all the way down. To. Unique costumes and an original sound the band full of music playing and the concerts a jazz festival dizzier. The name says it all full music means music from garbage in the local lingo to language. Everything about this group is impressive especially the fact that they play instruments made from west everyones dancing it was amazing the. Things. Everything made out of west the idea came from good phoned up disco cream he finds his inspiration at dumping sites. Yes. This bottle produces a nice sound. Me far so lucky no. This will make a good instrument for our music. A lack of proper Waste Management and recycling facilities has caused kinshasa to be littered with discarded plastic and other waste commit a music you know i came here to look for things that i can use to make Musical Instruments but i also want to draw attention to their problem of west management in kinshasa the city is really dirty. Recycle things is interesting turning a waste into instruments or using it to create costumes some people just throw stuff away but i look for ways to reuse trash because were still not good for our well being with a look at handing it out. So wrong. Them buying instruments band members create their own from discarded objects. Using scrap metal plastic bottles to install water pipes to make their instruments the group has gained a following who love their signature rhythms and if forced promotes recycling in a city that produces as much as 9000 tons of waste every day 3. It is my wish to see this music. All over the wild and also to raise awareness about the importance of Waste Management especially in africa is. Full of music is what i would like to find a good representative who can help us spread this message through our music and. Most recent like i see people forming and on the same time we also want to teach young people to practice recycling in this room. He may not have the solution to the democratic republic of congos vast garbage problems but the hypnotic music and upbeat songs are helping them to get their message across to an ever growing fund this. Very cool indeed especially because its all done using recycled west not serious i hope will we hear more from the fans in the theater and i hope you enjoyed this with still now its time for me to say goodbye from uganda stephan protect the environment and.
