Some of the ideas and concepts people have come up with to help save the environment im really looking forward to the was in south africa a wonderful species that needs protecting but the weakest link to install besides that. And making clones are to fish things. And we also show you how design the thing so many transformed. Into something musical. Every so if africa sees a migration of was eastern coast and he was trying to know from ontic tika we think carves last year saw the largest number of worlds on record off the coast of cape town scientists call savation ists and tourists continue to learn more about these giant marine animals we went along to find out more. At certain times of the year special visitors can be supported in what is the 1st thing in south africa. Where the huge mamas migrate from and talked to the woman off the coast of mozambique to come and theyre young. Very good after a few months to return some of the long the same route and researches have seen an encouraging rise in numbers. Of the great conservation Success Stories since the end of whaling allison people stop catching and commercially in the late seventys around Southern Africa the population have been increasing rebounding. They can be and we think theyre getting up toward the carrying capacity of the ecosystem the population of the west and the east coast of africa have been increasing probably close to 10 percent yet the researches use a hydrophone an underwater microphone to record words sound which the team will analyze later the waters around cape town provided these conditions to study the behavior of the way this. Lake. Had a lot of. Off the west coast of south africa which quite unusual that ill let you get out that was a feeling in the antarctic and we picking up a lot of juvenile whales this year 2029000 hanging around the South African coast that are feeding right in shore in falls by which are really interesting a current fast it gives us an opportunity to study the feeding behavior and the sounds theyre making whereas communicate using operand to focus actions from clicks to whistles and of course each is associated with a specific type of behavior. Comparing recorded here recorded in africa gives researches insights into which populations move through different areas so we were quite surprised when we 1st Record Company in in force by because of how different it actually if you look at dolphin distribution because hamburg was only strongly associated with making behavior in these animals and around africa making happens a tropical areas so rather equitorial which africa and of mozambique on the east coast around cape town animals should just be migrating past although we are aware of animals of summer months feeling as well. While commercial whaling was banned several decades ago the animals to face a number of threats including being struck by ships and entanglement in 29. 00 to several ways drowned in forcibly after becoming trapped in fishing gear images of them being towed to. Appeared in media around the globe. In a very short amount of time there were a number of wells that were entangled in the false space area and this was exposed by ocean conservationist and very passionate ocean guys in the area and this caused a groundswell of public cry they went all the way to the top of the governments hands and this caused the fishery to be shut out really quickly a temporary ban on octopus fishing was recently lifted but a number of sticks have to precautions went to do to prevent any further entanglement was in the truck. Further up the coast this right where curve is enjoying some time with its mother to the delight of lukas. And. About 300. 00 drive from kept town when watching the trucks about how for me than 200 year. While tourism is big all over the world but in south africa a critically important. Huge huge attraction for people with southern right whales is an amazing world to watch because they spend a lot of time on the Water Surface i often think its the best way to watch having been hunted to the brink of extinction this was have made an astounding recovery through the efforts of scientists and conservationists they can see most suffering through the waters around cape town and throughout the world. While amazing did you know that was. Our next piece is about fish to a new specifically this it might sound like but it can actually be useful resource a French Company letter from fish and it is a big hes another installment from a series. Usually fish skins are a waste product so they cost next to nothing. Some companies in africa turning them into jackets shoes and homs. A french town to reproduce this letter for luxury accessories like card holders and handbags. And all measures which used to transform fish skin into leather because today its a way studies thrown away by the Food Industry and the catering industry i wanted to question on the advantage of fish skin once its been discovered is that it has a unique texture on it which one of the strongest the most durable leathers in the world and very supple. The tunnel really removes the remaining flash and cleans the skins and a rotating drum. Just psyching an eco friendly town instead of to dry. That most skins of softened and died with various colors. And now the company is processing around 2000 skins per month. 2 skins that would otherwise just be useless waste. 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 page. We share your story. Whether there was a bite or trucks mostly help to be changed every now and then long before the rabbit starts to fall apart one becomes an issue but he actually and its seen me your book might seem real and did you write sandra and thats why recycling tiles has Great Potential there are so many things that can be made from them big all small even for and see for yourself what a german designer has managed to create. Is this the end of the road for these tires that trade has worn down and theyre no longer safe for driving but what others throw away is a valuable commodity for one Company Based in eastern germany. Is particularly interested in large truck tires take of it i havent missed larry tires consist of rubber Natural Rubber and wire bio wire right here in the tread and along the rim and those are 2 components that can be separated easily. In the time manufacturing process heat is used to compress the rubber making the tires firm and heavy. So special machines a needed to shred them. They use as much energy annually as 1200 households. Danny felber gets the tires for nothing. But his recycling company near to speak o. Does have to pick them up from carriages entire dealers. And because the truck tires the so bulky only 100. 00 actually fit into a container. And. I do 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 of 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. And i tend to focus on what i call prized pieces which might be in past or 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 at prices similar to those of commercial products. In comparison to other materials the designer 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 terrible its completely vegan and for many its a Good Alternative to leather you know but the thai 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. Is emitted into the compressed with the force of a 1000 tons so theyre pretty tough. We didnt driven 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 restoration work is finished the mats can be cleaned and used elsewhere. This robust material last for years. Our next report is about repurposing Something Else thats often found on garbage heap glass bottles yes indeed did you know that glass is one of the longest lasting manmade materials we have it seems a shame to see so much of it simply discard it but on the Canyon Island of lamu at least some bottles found on the beach and now being put to good use lets go see it. Oh. The fabulous plastic. Its ocean clean up the here. In kenya the children might have made a game out of it but for omar ali this is more of a possible conservation mission. For 3 men with. 1520 minutes. Every friday every friday to get it when they are you know again were doing here. But it goes a long way you know i think. Most of. Them while they are. Like many african countries kenya is grappling with a gut beach problem there are no public dustbins for people to dump their trash and theres no garbage collection center. With the trash piling up people have had to take matters into their own hands collection and recycling initiatives like omars help to plug up. He told us how we can go to the beach to free him after collecting trash i connected. To. 80 years ago there extent of ocean pollution really hit home form our studies have shown that the ocean is the 2nd most polluted in the world this affects both of them are in life and the human food supply here in laos amar decided to start doing his bit to protect the ocean. You want to be bored by the sea shore but one time the boat injured you know but when i came out of the boat you will abide by by the last lusty everywhere and there was peace around you know and there was a lot of there was no doing anything also i thought maybe a good idea what ive written if you can come up and clean up by the baby you know just doesnt want to be area to have kids playing there you know thats how it started. But omar deans just collect the boxes he used them to build and Nursery School this is the school now or the board will hear. About. The problem is when we get out of the city we bring in 2 beloved there was nobody to pick them up but ease a conservative island and some locals were not happy when omar opened the school no one has down this coming year. So the one they want to move is a move. Be the holes who would pull of why we skin everything but my thought of. The whiskey and the wine used to get in the book all the community important. And weve time the locals accepted that this is when we are confronted what is really do belong in schools. And strong woman you know my child is running. He joined the school in 2018 i feel good when i see kids having a chance to study and besides studying they also learn about a b. Environment and the awards and students dont have to pay to attend omars school this means that support from volunteers has proved vital in keeping the school going. So painful now that everybody be aware and calm and type to. People 2. I dont know our school with these youngsters and learning high time lessons not only in the classroom but out in the open air where the ocean needs their help. Now here in my country not everyone is connected to the electricity grid and that means people especially those in the rural areas are often forced to use other sources of power are including vivo what is dirty are not sustainable but a crowd investing platform in europe is looking to find and Renewable Energy projects here. Its hard to miss the salem in agreed on the edge of the village bright and shiny in the sun this is coming down to 3 hours from lagos by car its isolated location was more of a factor for installing the solar panels than environmental reasons connecting the village to the National Call grace was not considered worth the effort many people here make a living with agriculture some of the grain milling operations like richard apparently she previously used a few car generator to run her grinding machines now the call comes and the sun. Yesterday i bought 500 now was in pocket and now we can leave the lights go not mind theres light at home in the palm of my 1000000 plus the situation was different when we used. All home down new home and you know. This skeptical the 1st many here have since traced to green energy. Over 500. 00 households now get their power from the solar grid. That means since fewer c o 2 emissions according to the Margarine Company rebate check so 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 these by deploying i mean that with these locations. The project is also both a good german Company Based in frankfurt. A crowd investing platform called better vest raised 220000 euros for the sale of many greeks in nigeria and c. E. O. Maryland hape says the company is paying customers who want to invest in Construction Projects in other parts of the world our future market is africa because this market is crawling so tremendously and the amount of people there that need a tricity is the highest all over the world. So there is much money needed there is a 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 finance those smaller projects all the crowd funding platforms at the moment the solutions to that money can come to african small and Medium Sized Enterprises to create a tricity into villages. But there is also a dark side to the solar energy being. Used benefaction 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 short pollution. But for now the mini grid has improved the lives of many here boosting their businesses and improving the brain. From nigeria we have north to a very remote region of tunisia a 2 and a half hour drive from the couple tunis i mean is the job el serge National Park about 100 years ago wow gazelles used to live here but today theyve completely disappeared from the landscape now an initiative launched my spanish on to knees in all 3 teams as we introduced one full of them into the wild they hope the irony was we will produce in the another true hub a tent and improve the eco system the project wont just be good for nature it should also help to boost tourism. She said yes to see members of an endangered species that had all but disappeared in tunisia are now back to roam free again in their natural habitat. Around 30 outlets because elves are gradually being released in egypt bell says National Park the territory they inhabit covers approximately 20 square kilometers. Resettlement in the north of the not less mountains is a joint project between spanish scientists and the to news you know dorothys forehead researcher i know a touching moment when we bring these animals here in 2017 they were much different now here and insects in such a way i feel the way they are not my babies but they are my pets you say and i know they will be very much happy in nature although i want to be able to take care of them so that is the length is. Really so so excited and my emotion is so big. The animals were brought over to the region from spain just a few years ago with the hope of them settling into the environment and producing offspring. The projects staff set up expansive enclosures in the future reserve where they would initially be protected and cared for their population has since doubled since local ranger i meant ben rumah. His 1st job of the day is to look in on the shy animals. Check on the animals in the pens every morning ive been doing this kind of work for years now i know how to treat them i know these animals very well and i even think about them on my days off and im not kidding and ive come to love these helpless because. How do you think. The outlook is native to north africa. Clearance poachers under changing the ecosystem have put their survival in jeopardy Say International conservation groups. The tunisians want to see the gazelles inhabit the region once again and the chances of the Reintroduction Program succeeding are high says the director of the National Park. The animals feel at home in these High Altitude climbs. This man out of downtown weve also made efforts to raise awareness about the animals among people who live around the National Park. And now of course we hope that theyll be safe here and the 10 years from now there will be a big herd of these because elsewhere in this reserve. Is the population of the atlas because there has been growing so have visitor numbers to the nature is a. Theres a lot of interest among tunisians in the story behind the reintroduction adventure. For them the animals are also a cultural icon of their region. Such that were going to protect them and do everything we can to ensure that they settle in successfully thats why we also set up a Pilot Research project to monitor the gazelles shish the data we gather on the animals will allow us to track their movements and help us to locate them so. This type of gazelle tends to roam an inaccessible mountain terrain so the animals off it would transmit is the conservationists can then determine where they spend most of their time and above all how many of them survive. If all goes well there are another 50 gazelles in the enclosure waiting to be reintroduced into the wild.
