To have you with us again for happen are packed with ideas on how to protect the environment but also look at some great initiatives designed to make our world a little cleaner and more beautiful here some of them could turn so Climate Change and on just in tanzania employing skilfully environment accompanying cameron taking of the challenge of recycling new waste safely and how sure printings all of our. Logical revolution. Will start today show in harare the capital of zimbabwe i think is true in many urban centers the population there is growing steadily from year to year and that means the need for housing is growing too but not all Construction Projects think about the damage to course to the environment we meet up with an organization that fights to protect vitally important ecosystems. Almost every day major conservationists come to absolve the land surroundings in bubbas capital. Since 2005 the local organisation has been wintering the lag with land area. Water reservoir the biodiversity consistence boasts over 80 plants and the Great Variety of insect species its one of 7 whittling sites in zimbabwe that it could nest internationally this area covers about 5 square kilometers but list than 10 percent have been perceived. Out of desperation and because they cant find affordable property in harare some people are building houses on these ecosystems. We dont have these weapons we wont have the ground war to make those dreams run throughout the yet which is what they do know throughout the year because of these areas regulating the flow from under whelmed they not here to the sea. Grass the wetlands also solve other natural Water Purification systems because they have observed pollutants to be our roots and they also help to contain floods when there is existing for. But thats not a likely problem here in zimbabwe Southern Africa has been experiencing a prolonged drought seems pretty telling. Increased development is also causing the citys water sources to run dry finding clean water has become a daily struggle for many. Of our these overcrowded would fill a Committee Members in need of water and we have no choice but to help them if theres an outbreak of cholera we all be in danger because its exposed. Just cause and trust has been set up that oversees various environmental organizations and activists to do that they are looking into ways of protecting and restoring the citys remaining wetlands with the help of local communities and donations but the biggest problem is Land Management say the activists of the countrys environmental law forbids the look made on with lance continue to offer land for sale. The legal aspect. Concerning wetlands is really very important and needs to be addressed very urgently. At the moment we are working in an environment where. The legal aspects are not being known are not aligned his loopholes are currently being used. To develop. Through petitions and Court Challenges the trust has now meant to stop developments were not politically what lance would in the Capital Cities limit. Since it is held up as an example of conservation and restore ition its important record accurate data to work. And to publicize the fact that the ecosystem is functioning the way chewed again. Is instruments are called up his own meters theyre used to measure. Underground water is where is or tell me wells it gives us the fluctuations that happens during the course of the differences and. This well is to monitor that there is no much obstruction or fall within these wetlands. But challenges remain with plants are often used as dumping grounds because theyre open spaces. To the behind the Woodlands Trust has joined forces with Community Resistance and City Council Officials for a Cleanup Campaign also involved with some Invasive Species which block the flow of water in the wetlands streams. You have a lot of illegal activity happening almost. Like. All illegal activity whilst protecting. The environment but it doesnt and here are the effects of the Climate Crisis continue to intensify including drought and water shortage the most important thing is to protect order which runs around the city. So the organization is also working with the younger generations the participation is ideally needed if he wants to continue using the water is of well for the growing city. Now there are many different ways to take a stand against Climate Change just think of activists. From sweden she has inspired young people around the world to go out and demonstrate for climate protection other people used to ask ills in other ways artist. In tanzania creates drawings and i mean clips to raise awareness about global warming. Being a star resolder he stands atop a famous monument in tanzania largest city. And this isnt garamond. Hes an illustrator and animator. While passing the statue on one exceptionally warm day he had a sudden inspiration. Because it was so hard just him ok what would he do in this heat and i decided to do any nation and so the scary moment started to build that conversation within my head like ok this is this is an environmental issue its getting really hot why is it getting hot and so i wanted to start off that conversation through the video. And the response from social media was overwhelming. I even had people reaching out to me and say hey can i use this video for my presentation on Climate Change for school go ahead. And gary mandara and the story soldiers have now joined forces to raise awareness about other environmental issues. One recent video has them taking. On plastic waste. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send his a tweet. Try doing your bit. We share your story. I dont know how our viewers throughout africa feel but it seems to me that the more developed we become the more in the tronic waste piles up in our rubbish dumps thats not only ugly its harmful because a lot of it contains toxic substances that seep into the environment it is true that broccoli. Often tossed by the gold site but in some african context the recent huge market for recycling electronic waste for example the Environment Ministry of commerce wants to set up a recycling infrastructure in the countrys largest city to talk with the toxic junk all reported went to the capital one day. Garbage income irans capital young day including discarded electrical appliances. Some of the pads can be sold like the metal from a refrigerator condensate but poisonous gases schools escape during dismantling thats bad for them vironment and for Peoples Health the injury or solidarity to Technology Takes care of the proper disposal of this kind of west its come in ruins only Electronics Recycling facility devices such as all the more knitters im had drives are picked up at a collection point the recycler also collects all the devices directly from companies for a small fee for service a tampa law service and the services are paid for by the companies and its sustainable for the informal was 12. 00 action we have placed the 40 square feet large containers in different neighborhoods to collect west say someone in charge at this size to receive all the west and make a preselection walk as far as a park of them enough a quarter of an audition. They initiated process is about 2 tons of waste a month including lots of computers sometimes more than 100. 00 Component Parts are collected during disassembly metal is reusable and some of the electronic parts. All together about 24 people walk at the center a guest in kenya has been here for 2 years. Community initiative initiated it every day answered entrepreneurs i really enjoy working as is far less because this is a recycling industry where we work to fight against pollution and to protect the environment so im proud to be part of this water and operators on the log on a modern. Part of our cities that are stronger the different components are sorted and kept separately computer Circuit Boards with their Electronic Assembly containing metals life and which are sold to melting shops. And let rick cables can be reused immediately as the materials are more problematic. Because i want to plaster we have certain types of plastics that come in different forms we have some better trees that cannot be dealt with locally we have started negotiating a deal with foreign partners in order to support these materials overseas for sacking people. Here ahead rev is being checked and it still functions around 20 percent of the devices can be repaired and resold thats great for the environment and for the company. And the other benefit is that this technology then becomes available to people who normally would not be able to afford it. To produce as one of our objectives is to promote their distribution of modern technology that is to give people who cannot buy a new device the opportunity to get a cheaper 2nd one from us. So if you manage to repair this telephone we can sell it to for half the price than it would normally go for you from one circle of christian a former west gets a new life thats good for everyone and reduces the garbage pile up in the city but there is still not still do they need is hoping for even more Government Support to be able to go big scale and help manage the toxic west incoming roun. Staying with the subject of waste it is no secret that large quantities of clothing and up in long fields shoes dont really fit any better but one john once thought up has come up with an innovative plan to tackle the problem snake a rescue it meant old worn out shoes turning them into trendy fresh looking for it not only cuts down the whist it also means you never have to throw away any of your favorite trainers. Sneakers convenient comfortable and fashionable. Really like to buy from a friend of a house and although im not talking every year theres a new air max or whatever and people have to have them. That quick on the market make you quick on your feet but theyre also quick to wear out and its not read that they cost between 1. 20 euros every year europeans throw away an estimated 1200000 tons of shoes. Thats all the more shocking given the fact that pretty easy to repair something hard and. All too well but his mission is about more than saving sneakers from a premature to minds. We want to show people a way of having more respect for things that have been made for them by other individuals whether sneakers or whatever so that they appreciate other peoples work. And shoemaker by trade in 28000 hog and. Sneak a rescue customers send in their worn out Running Shoes and get them back in near mint condition the service cost just under 40 euros and is now used by almost 200. 50 customers per month. Gets precious little support from the manufacture of original spare parts a few and far between this is another issue difficult to find the big corporations would rather their shoes are not repaired of course and keep parts under lock and key so this is all our own initiative and we want to make our own souls which are in any case far cooler than the originals as your email industry. Most choose on the Global Markets are made in china and india in 2017 production in those 2 countries totaled 16000000000. 00 peds but its often the environment that pays the ultimate price thanks to factories policing rivers with excess died that can contain costs in a general heavy metals. And glues used. Sneak has come with a long list of troublesome chemicals formaldehyde from the soles can cause cancer and flooring compounds that make the shoes waterproof and not biodegradable. Bentons man works for berlin based ngo in cosa helping to improve Environmental Standards and working conditions in the shoemaking industry he says its difficult convincing manufacturers to make the switch to sustainable production. On other products in the fashion segment the price does not necessarily reflect Sustainability Standards of the company protect the environment or the people making the product we want to see them taking on more responsibility to ensure that sustainability is something they consider. Not just for their front. Hes confident that his sneaker rescue mission will grow from 250. 00 pairs a month to a 1000 for him. Just about the financial dividend. Objective is to grow to the point where we can complete the circle so eventually we can give a part of our profits to the people elsewhere in the world to make the shoes at low cost given an option. That he believes will become reality and then not too distant future in around 5 years time. Point is the random rain forest has been the site for the wild longest one. There conservationists gather data on the primates behavior and also walk alongside the. Doctors we went out into the field with a team of the teri meri and to learn more about these. Right just volatile every single gorilla it will cradles National Park in rwanda. As the gorilla truckers. Out of business for you doing. Imitates the gorillas make to offer assurance the mail by because. I want. The rain just keep a detailed for a court of what the awards get up to. That we feed it every day we. If we could it would activity. Report. If an. Eel the park calls the gorilla doctors the virgin mary team is dedicated to save in the mountains and the lowland gorillas he sees. We all want to go out in the forest we dont take on more the outside of. The International Union for conservation of nature has changed the status of mountain gorillas from a critically endangered to simply endangered the total population splits between 2 regions has risen from 680 a decade ago to over a 1000. Tourism has become a significant source of revenue to finance conservation work and support local communities each per bit costs a 1500 dollars last year the park took in 19000000. 00. 10 percent of the parks revenue goes towards Infrastructure Projects in their box villages including clinics and schools children here. Of caring for the forest and thats what life. We dont want to protect the park with the guns we want to protect in this park with people who understand and. Take that responsibility as well and the that is. Really do. British model Naomi Campbell was a bunch of the cast at this years naming ceremony for baby gorillas and events designs to draw attention to rwandas conservation efforts. And the name will be. The birth every baby gorilla is cause for celebration for its own sake and for the people here. To gorilla tourism. Wow what an incredible job theyre doing now from the mountains to the plains of south africa anyone whos been there we have noticed the thousands of kilometers of facing that cut across the lawn intended to continue. This is actually have a devastating effect on the environment whats happening. Well frank says are not only a deadly trap for the wildlife also there to prevent livestock from roaming freely which leads to overgrazing and asian some birds are now reversing this trend however and they are spearheading an ecological revolution. When herders lead their livestock on to the great plains of the in Central South Africa the animals on allowed to linger. To protect the vegetation from overgrazing they have to be kept on. The move as a result they can only eat the tips of the plants. Head chef the dixon cooper has years of experience and have seen how the landscape has changed since hes been grazing his animals here it has. Its. Pitches in the grass growth was not that much but now since we have put it its the process. We find that nor is it people now changing even on crazing paper that is more quote that. The herders are part of the shepherding but biodiversity project it supports commercial livestock keeping while boosting lung restoration on this 24000. 00 hectare farm. The karoo was once much greener and home to millions of antelope and buffalo their hooves loose in the topsoil while the droppings fertilized it. In a bid to recreate the Great Migrations of the past the project employs shepherds to lead livestock over the plains. The project leader hes confident that herders can help revive the whole region. As we fundamentally believe that this method of farming give space for wildlife to coexist with production i could call tree so thats really simple vision is to find a mechanism by which we can. Foster biodiversity on production farms. The thousands of kilometers of fences needed for intensive livestock a culture one of the main reasons why wildlife has disappeared. Fences prevent the animals from roaming free as they search for grazing land and water. They often end up tangled in barbed wire. In order to study the effects of the fenceless farming method on the environment ecologist so monitoring the project. Over the past 2 years head researcher Janine Mcmanus and a group of students have recorded the number of plant species in selected study sites. In addition the group evaluates the earth budgetary index the index is determined by the amount of green seen on the ground by satellites and allows researchers to compare growth in different regions over time. And you can already start picking up changes in trains with the way the hood has been grazing especially over a longer recent period in parts of the farm and the green index shows that quite pronounced and we competed to traditional farms where it isnt quite as pronounced and they seem to be quite a significant color its just looking at the pixels alone you know taking the green out of pixelization but from that you can really start seeing a difference. There are many positive signs. Areas that have been grazed by the heads are now seeing thicker plant growth. Slowly while the animals are returning to the fall more than 500. 00 antelope have been counted and even a leopard was recently started. A major success for. Specially since south africa is still recovering from one of the worst droughts in recorded history. As wishing the sea process continues for the rest of us so that is there any damage to be named and to so that even the neighbors in. The mornings back about what it is seeing in this. Project could inspire neighboring foulness many of them saw their london grade and lost livestock due to the severe drought for the shepherds however this years lambing season turned out to be very successful adding another 800. 00 sheep to the herd slowly but surely the project is turning profitable.
