Weeks show we go to germany to meet a month whos hoping to turn the tight when it comes to plastic pollution in the way that he has some other topics will be looking out today. We look at why bring the ranging in such a dangerous profession. We also see how briefing that no wage and all relating promise 1st stop them from inc. And find out how blood waste is being put to use in much augusta. Being a ranger can be a dangerous job some 100. 00 wildlife guardians lose their lives each year in their line of duty many of them in east and Central Africa while accidents account for about 50 percent of those fatalities porches were responsible for the other we went to months and forced National Park here in uganda to meet julius or one now the warden in charge of Law Enforcement there he has been confronting these day in day out for more than 20 years. In the morning roll call julius one and tells his men that poachers have set traps during the night to capture animals. You have to move fast to save the animals lives after covering a few kilometers and puts with his men. Finds the wire. But as the rangers combed the area looking for more he receives an emergency call. But i got colleagues in another part of the park to rest someone suspected of having killed the buffalo. In his guts way. The rangers confiscate the meat of the animals here have protected status no hunting is allowed. That came from their communities of course. They came with. Spears spear disease. And in the process of cutting and cutting away the need for indias call for the incident and they moved in swiftly adventures from these specific i would say minor. They moved in swiftly and they managed to one of. Their race paras off. The storehouse poaching traps are piling up but the one that says that its an uphill battle the more the rangers find and dismantle the more im made by the poachers there are people who have dedicated their lives into manufacturing these some of this. Are made from. Their acceleration cables all motorbikes which are everywhere in the shops so a person will walk into the shops. As if hes going to buy spares for that model bike he does not on a motor bike and he asks for the acceleration of clutch cable which he can easily buy at the cheaper price and to turn it into a snare and bring it into the park some of the traps. So the harm that the. Many animals also be at the painful science this elephant almost lost a truck to the poachers. Of one of the says that such cases are common and that is why hes always on the lookout for threats every day through out the park. Out of there we know we have people we always want to force themselves into a protected area to try and get these resources and. Where they come to these resources and you do not have. Enough information enough intelligence about them then you are forced to move almost everywhere to try and get to know what is happening in part of the park so that you are sure that what you are managing is intact of oneness convinced the tourist poachers to create the illegal wildlife trade by offering them work. People like out that. Hes happy with this transition from poacher to gamekeeper of the load buffalo almost killed him on foot patrol. He knows exactly the movements of the poachers. Because when i was approaching nothing i could get even if i went back with a meat grinder you can use it for pussy and i think i. Might if you didnt dare not to study but to the time when i do now i will do what you do in there anybody school in money which im getting from from the parking. Does boss of one is the warden in charge of Law Enforcement in march a sinful National Park he says the anti pushing efforts already paid off and tourism is proving hes helped to arrest and prosecute over 700 poachers in the area julius obama has witnessed the population of elephants grow in the last 25 years from less than 400 of the animals to over 1600 today. Someone photograph a house mounted an inspiring campaign to fight plastic pollution around the world 322000000. 00 tonnes of plastic is produced each year and you can find plastic was literally anywhere much of it ends up in the rivers stefan which is trying to bring people together to change these and here is a quote he wrote this week that. Hes getting closer to his goals Stephanie Halasz has been paddling for 4 weeks now from the western german city of copelands on the rhine to the capital in the northeast of the country. On the greatest thing and this was a trip of 750 kilometers its just this month was to come up against your limits when you think youll never make it then you get a 2nd wind and then you do it because this is not my shaft. He started out doing the collecting on his own hed make an arrangement of the garbage from the rivers photograph it and put it on display its the photo designers way of making being invisible waste plain for all to see. On for 2 remarked i took a photograph that shows a kayaker from above public. This is the average amount of garbage from one kilometer of river and kilometer from in germany and not in asia and we have to work to reduce the odds are germany has a lot of kilometers of rivers drawn to reach the feet of whos going to meet us. In total around 7300 kilometers and staff and horses only travelled a fraction of them so far. Alongside exhibitions he also organizes regular cleanup events 7 cities are taking part in this one like oberhausen on a tributary of the rhine. You have to look closely i pull out pieces of plastic all over the place to look just like the stones my boats already full up. Hes joined by new volunteers at every new stretch of motherhood siding was here around 60 cleena opposite on the water and the riverbank. Because i think it makes total sense to not just collect waste from the rivers thought but also from the landscape around them. And i just. I think its important to realise that this is not just happening in the caribbean or wherever be aware that it starts here with us im saying this. After just 2 hours theyve gathered around 2000 liters of garbage. Stephanie halasz needs as many fellow campaigners as he can get because thats plenty of work to do. But hes happy to have come this much closer to his goal of clean water waste. Them while they were equal to the so much trosch amazing what people park on the cheap but now bucked. Offit weather the best of contemporary attempts to combine innovation and age old knowledge to construct buildings that remain cool even when the sun is beating down outside indeed sandra in san diego a group of young engineers and architects have joined forces inside of concretes they use soil to make compressed earth breakers its an economical and sustainable building method now lets have a look see how far their work has gone. In senegal the summers are swelteringly hot without air conditioning life can get unbearable especially if you live in a concrete building. Is a construction engineer he founded a company that produces bricks out of soil. The material makes it much easier to keep building schools. And i went to one of the benefits is that the thermal insulation stops cool air from escaping where a cement instantly lets heat in so you have to use air conditioning all the time you can switch it off because as soon as you do the walls absorb the heat and let it in. The red soil and senegal is perfect for making compressed earth blocks. After 21. 00 days left to dry in the sun there ready to be deployed. Building with soil is a traditional technique but over the years the method has been refined the mixture used here contains 10 percent cement making the bricks more stable and water resistant building using earth bricks is far better for the environment than using pure concrete. Production of the brick involves a far lower rate of c o 2 emissions plus residents have less need for air conditioning. 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. There are reports that africa is a common dumping ground for most of the global ways so what is being done in africa to change that our young nigerian if i you buy this site it he doesnt want any more and so he began to do something about it. Lagos nigeria has him to a number of illegal dump sites free weights for many local people the refuse is a vital source of income of the taking of poets t. V. s computers and other devices by hands they resell the components as rule materials its extremely hazardous work with and water and ground severely polluted by heavy metals and toxic chemicals some Electronic Devices come from developed countries in the form of the nations unfortunately only a fraction of food and functional the rest is affectively trash a company in lagos has come up with an alternative solution for handling the waste its called 8 era and was founded by defining a tunnel nigeria usually generates 1000000. 00 tons or tonic with talk less of what it allows importation into the countries the difference between our treatment and the informal harmless if 100. 00 dont have the knowledge they dont have the tools all the machinery to safely to cope and dismantle. The device. The terror collects discarded devices like laptops speakers and mobile phones which are then checked over of a companys Material Recovery for certainty those parts that can still be used i restored and mostly denatured as charity the rest is dismantle the terror has invested in the range of machinery it allows the workers to dismantle the waste in a way that is safe for the environment and for themselves and exhaust hood is used to contain the toxic feed. Youre not you can have so many cuts in the journey materials that are trapped there sucked out and trapped trapped inside its are diminishing pretty effectively detoxified while we dismantle all of the glass all of the. Plastic. After being dismantled the waste is separated and shredded. Theyre all material salvaged such as glass and i and other Companies Main source of income. Business has been doing well for the company so well that the c. E. O. Plans expand operations in the near future and hes happy that the items he recycles will not end up on the legal dump sites like this one. Now can you imagine growing anything on this kind of saw face like question on here or could you imagine growing vegetables in it please thats cold when they on top of months on end and the ground is as hard as a rock i guess what im talking about europes fallen off on the Smaller Group you know into an island of spitsbergen the extreme conditions that make you apologize for research as i venture is like Benjamin Britten his mission to boldly grow what no one has grown before lets go check it out. Finally a little light every day in winter the darkness here stretches on for months its minus 25. 00 degrees celsius and the ground is permafrost there are more polar bears than humans on spitsbergen. But one of those humans benjamin vid mark grose herbs in vegetables here a pioneering idea. This one i think looks good too and then this one tree. For the 4th one is on the 3 of us then maher and his employee hey good harvest the crops grown in the lab as he calls this room. It has an almost tropical climate in the midst of a frozen wilderness and hes planted cress bezel and other plants think if you see that weve got the human now off to remove the tower and. Yet because we lift it from 20 to 45 feet yeah definitely. Theyre learning to farm in these extremes by trial and error theres no experience to draw on then mark came up with the idea because he was desperate for Fresh Produce one day he even hopes to grow some tomatoes they would be the northernmost crop of them on earth. Its pitch black here by 3 in the afternoon benjamins used to that by now. Hes originally from florida but 10 years ago the ships cook washed up on the shores of the i see no reason i learned during the dark season but so how do we cope with the light season as thats the challenge but the dark season is very relaxed dont have to do too much but when the light comes. We get very busy and you have to run all of the time. Whether dark or light vid mars business is booming hes barely able to keep up with demand and capacities are limited spitzbergen is located nearly a 1000 kilometers north of the next populated settlement practically everything has to be flown in including produce this other stuff but thats expensive and bad for the environment or some greens for you. So big mar is trying to show that there are other options. In the photo shows who also have visited and this is probably good to. Live in to check it out. Its amazing to. This treasure trove was given back benjamin collects the leftover plant material for composting thank you ever since you take it you could just thank you. This isnt a u. F. O. Its the gardeners greenhouse in the darkness of the polar night its 20 below in here but when spring brings back the light itll turn lush and green we have some days you know over the midnight sun theres sun in theory 24 hours a day so it just moves around in the sky and it can get like 2530. 00 degrees in here i really like to do some root vegetables carrots potatoes would be nice if the greenhouse and its builders have achieved a certain notoriety hello my name is Benjamin Vidmar and doing this tour with you today we nearly every day he has a lot of curious visitors. I didnt started to save the world i didnt start it i just said you know i want to have the freshest food possible. German student helps out with planting in the garden shes a little more critical of the settlement in the far north. Its been present in mining disputes back kind of person only i dont see spitzbergen as a place where people should be living. Because its gone to such an extreme climate and its so unsustainable to live here but there will never come a time when people dont live here so i think its a very good idea to try growing your own plants here. But harbaugh says its about more than just having fresh vegetables on spitsbergen. This techniques that we develop here can be used to grow food in this inner city it can be used to grow food on different islands so it has many. Applications to other places as well so if we can do it here it can be done anywhere this is the most challenging place to do it. Benjamin did not believe that his ideas can take root in spitsbergen. They could grow practically anywhere. From i see no way so africa so much the gas got to be precise where the forward station as a quasi impact previously 90 percent of the island was covered with forests now only a 10th of that remains according to environmental experts trees are mostly being cut down to create farmland or. But now someone has come up with an alternative fuel source tell us more sandra village does a longing a new process in which they can tell on plant waste on dry grass into fuel pellets it is so much better than cutting down the mall why do it with trees. Fear done and is a small town in the highlands of madagascar it never had its own school until a Nonprofit Organization called zahara made it possible for the residents to build one. Founder of the hanna has come to visit. Talk to a hunter running on tania revoke wants to increase environmental awareness and make sure that its established in the school curriculum. The team is prepared a series of workshops. And the rommels on runs a course on bio char a charcoal produced from plant matter the residents collect dry grass and leaves press them into predict holes in the ground and carefully light them. They then quickly seal the hole to cut off the air supply so the biomass can slowly char. Rice house can also be used they need to charm this pit for 12 hours where the restricted air supply says it looks good but the waste from the rice harvest has charred nicely we can empty out the contents now to process it. They want to make pellets and briquettes from the coldest they are diluted clay to the biomass to glue it together so they can then need it into bio char. Its a far better fuel source than would be burns for 10 times longer and using bio char also has another advantage. To make charcoal i usually use. You know. The small talk one from this time last year we spoke to cut to tease dont have to go far away. The residents used to spend hours gathering firewood for cooking. People here it rice several times a day. Dr plains now cover the land where forests used to grow everything has been cut down. There are only trees in the town now which the organizations are hannah replanted. The best way to burn bio char is in special clay ovens protected from the wind. And the runnels on teaches the residents how to make them. The women are already using the ovens to cook at school. But the zohan a team wants to convince everyone that a stove like this needs just a 5th of the fuel and by using bio char instead of would the embers last even longer the old habits die hard though Winning People over takes patience despite the many advantages what do you all know musea saves a lot of fuel. Stays inside. And its much faster to cook. Is testing out a new machine that could help them produce by a char. It was highly praised by technicians from the provincial capital. The machine is supposed to press and compact the biomass in the cylinders more effectively than can be done by hand but it didnt work as hoped im still needs to be optimized. In full of it you have to clean it out every time you use it its always blocked up. I think that its fair to make. Sure every fun you can have. Out. Of to do you charge for. The school is also teaching the children a few i dont know now about gardening or the plants and trees here were planted by pupils on the School Garden or. The child plants 5 trees a year and then a ways of greenery and spring up in the middle of the drawing grasslands. Then you see it go you dont like it. We can look ma in the field from the celebs cherry i forget though we cant have people that do not just in mangoes because we know that may was growing even in the dry. Land and strictly shes improved so just the people didnt do it but she to. Design a team wants to plant 15000. 00 new trees a year together with the people of donna. So thats it for this week half an hour packed with lots of environmental news and the years best global practices my name is now tied with opiate enjoy the show thanks and by by family.
