Nigeria thank you sandra im now tiger here in our state to be precise great 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 are some of them could turn so Climate Change an artist in tanzania employing skilfully environment accompanying cameron taking on the challenge of recycling the waste safely and how sure but things all about. A logical revolution. Will start today show in harare the capital of them bob way its 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 need up with an organization that fights to protect vitally important ecosystems. Almost every day he makes a conservationist come to absolve the land surroundings in bibles capital. Since 2005 the local organisation has been wintering the language lent area. Water reservoir the biodiversity ecosystems boast over 80 plants and the Great Variety of insect species its one of 7 whittling sites in zimbabwe that he could nest internationally. This area covers about 5 square kilometers but less 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 if we dont have these weapons we wont have 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 if theyre not here to the sea grass the wetlands also solve other natural Water Purification systems because they absolve pollutants to the 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 simply. 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 only overcrowded when fellow Community 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 north. 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 although the countrys environmental law forbids the look made on woodlands continue to offer land for sale. The legal aspect. Concerning redlands 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 be known are not aligned these loopholes are currently being used. To develop wetlands through petitions and challenges the trust has now managed to stop developments going at least 3 with less within the Capital Cities limit since it is held up as an example of conservation and restore edition its important record accurate data to work. And to publicize the fact that the system is functioning the way chewed again. Is instruments are called up his own meters theyre used to measure. And the ground order is where is ordaining world it gives us the fluctuations that happens during the course of the differences and. Is well is. 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. Today we had only Wetlands Trust has joined forces with Community Response and City Council Officials for a Cleanup Campaign also involved with some Invasive Species which block the flow of water in the wetlands streams we have a lot of illegal activity almost. Like. Legal activity whilst protecting lawns. But it doesnt end here the effects of the Climate Crisis continue to intensify including drought and water shortage the most important thing is to protect all the which runs around the city. So the organisation 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 use their skills in other ways artist. In tanzania creates drawings and i mean clips to raise awareness about global warming. The askari soldier he stands atop a famous monument in tanzania largest city dar es salaam. And this is an 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 they just hit ok what would he do in this heat and i decided to do any nation and so the Us Government 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. 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 garry mandara and the alstare soldier 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 us a tweet. Time doing your bit. We share your stories. 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 seep into the environment it is true that broken well 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 capitol one day. Garbage incoming rounds capitol young day including discarded electrical appliances. Some of the parts can be solved like the metal from a refrigerator condenser but poisonous gases schools escape during dismantling thats bad for the environment and for Peoples Health their energy or solidarity to Technology Takes care of the proper disposal of this kind of west its 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 to service a tampa young Blood 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 list say someone in charge at this site is to receive all the worst and make a preselection law was brought up by a court of an audition. That initiated processes about 2 tons of the 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 canada has been here for 12 years. Its a unique shipping ship they did it i read answered entrepreneurs i really enjoy working of this far thats because this is a recycling industry where we want to fight against pollution and to protect the environment so im proud to be part of this water logged on a modern. Part of our series of. The different components are sorted and kept separately computer Circuit Boards with the Electronic Assembly containing metals life. Which are sold to melting shops. And lead to cables can be reused immediately as a materials are more problematic. Theres a lot of plastic we have certain types of plastics that come in different forms we have some better ease that cannot be dealt with locally but we have started negotiating a deal with foreign partners in order to export these materials overseas. Because. Here i had 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. Produces is 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 or security so if you manage to repair this telephone we can sell it to for half the price than it would normally do from want to circle of christian a former you west gets a new life thats good for everyone and reduces the garbage pile up in the city but there is still lots to 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 end up in lawn feels shoes dont really fit any better but one someone start 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 food with it not only costs down a waste it also means you will never have to throw away any of your favorite trainers. Sneakers convenient comfortable and fashionable. Devices right in her house alone or on the clock and you go see every year theres a new air max or whatever and people have to have them so 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. 00 tons of shoes. Thats all the more shocking given the fact theyre pretty easy to repair something hard and. All too well but his mission is about more than saving sneakers from a premature demise. 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 that shoemaker by trade in 28. Launched sneaker rescue customers send in their worn out Running Shoes and get them back in near mint condition the Service Costs just under 14 euros and is now used by almost 200. 50 customers per month. Gets precious little support from the manufacturers original spec parts a few and far between this is the official 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 it were enormously. Most shoes on the Global Markets are made in china and india in 2017 production in those 2 countries total 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 can. 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 ballon based ngo and khosa 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. Well. Sneakers leather shoes and other products in a fashion segment with 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 in their calculations and not just for the p. R. Front. Meanwhile haagen is confident that his sneaker rescue mission will grow from 250. 00 pounds a month to a 1000 for him its not 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 profit to the people elsewhere in the world to make the shoes at low cost. 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 was longest one. There conservationists.

Take that responsibility does when andy that his. Lady do. British model Naomi Campbell was a bounce a guest at this years naming ceremony for baby gorillas and events designed to draw attention to rwandas conservation efforts. And in the name will be. The birth of 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 that thousands of kilometers of facing that cut across the lot 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 car route 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 or dixon in cuba has years of experience and of seeing how the landscape has changed since hes been grazing his animals here it has made it sound more pitches in the grass growth was not that much but now since we have put it and you see prices were heading. In that nor is it people now changing even on crazing paper the fact is more quote that. The herders are part of the shepherding but biodiversity project it supports commercial livestock keeping while boosting Land Restoration on this 24000. 00 hectare farm. The room was once much greener and home to millions of antelope and buffalo their hooves loosen 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 to. 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 are the 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 index is determined by the amount of green seen on the ground by satellites and allows researchers to compare plant 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 up quite pronounced and we compared it 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 alone 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 farm more than 500 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. Wishing the sea process continues for the rest of us so that if there were any time they could be named and so that even the neighbors in. The more inspired about what it is seeing in this type of the 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. And thats all from us this week we hope you enjoyed our reports on environmental topics from africa and europe jennas next time one of the nation from now its bye bye from your dumb last 8 not its nigeria and goodbye from mean kampala uganda do visit us on all social media platforms or even drop us a line if youd like to share with us your thoughts coming we hope to see you again very soon good bye.
