We will take you to mount kenya to find out about it in foods to protect the antelopes leaving there then to look in a fossil where women run a project through papas Plastic Waste they cleared from the streets. And we end up being. A famous American Company is helping to replant the forest. But forced to kenya to meet one of the rarest species of antelopes in africa the mountain bungle they are critically endangered with less than a 100 still living outside conserving says they are of the muscle porches predictors disease and hard bitten clothes the government is a long and has implemented a plan to save the species and also boast numbers out the food of mount kenya eco africa visit some committed corso vision its working hard to make that a reality. And it will keep us women more ruthie has come to check on his charges he looks up to mountain bongos of the mount Kenya Wildlife conservancy he feeds them twice a day and makes sure the head of there arent enough is intact. I love the job and im proud you know having that. No more but now its here so its makes me do it with with me not to read to me a lot so i like walking here i love it and my aim is to have as many as i can. Here in captivity the animals dont have access to all the vegetation that would find in the wild thats why theyre giving me traditional supplements known as being good for you these special pellets are reaching protein implied which boost the antelopes immune system. The air force seems to be paying more into the canyon wide lead conservancy. The mountain was nearly extinct in the wild in kenya and saw a few bones and taken to the us is a breeding im going to calls it and for we to see it in bunkers from different in the us and from those in a team we started the Breeding Program here on sun and currently we have a total of 77. 00. Last youngest was born on the 7th of july and it is that is in the sort of the bungle. With the increase in numbers to conservancy plans to release 25 into the Mount Kenya Forest where kenya for is so obvious ok if s. Has and located about 800 acres for protected century. This enclosed area at the for 12 months kenya is not just a sanctuary for mountain bungalows knows a rare white zebras and had buffalo also find protection here from porches and pretend we divide these bongos into a different part oaks because of the. Challenge that we have a moment. In the near future when we put them in the sanctuary this is problem would be so they dont completely so what you can see here is one of the breeding hunts the conservancy also offers to us to tourists and schoolchildren to get revenues and donations are the main sources of much needed funds for the schools and the decryption program is very important was number one because we are trying to create awareness to the future generation. Specious like the mom to. Grow up. Passing the information to the us their parents and their friends and the people to minimize the cases of watching. The habitat destruction of. One of the highlights for visitors is that i need more orphanage where i keep us looked after all fund and injured animals before returning them to the wild about 15000. 00 kenyan schoolchildren come to visit the conservancy every year others are excited to be here. I think theyll munchkin our love conservancy. For me to think of all this i was. Very interesting clue just. Plugs out of the long ago. Which has been endangered for moving the process. Its not just porch in the threatens their reaction to lobes they also have to contend with a variety of diseases and the loss of being natural habitat. Slim a little 3 everything going to an average animal keep looking forward to the coming weeks soon 5 new mountain bungled be born increasing the species chance of survival. With haunt a lot of interesting reports about people who practice recycling or up cycling from car to as funny to bugs made of drinking straws and women school party in a fossil came up with another idea you need to take a look at that yes indeed sandra they turn plastic bags into new products well meet with them now in a new episode in our series of doing your bit where we will showcase initiatives of individuals who are really doing something to help the environment. In the. Plastic waste clutters the environment and contaminates the soil. In plastic bags are the biggest problem in the gulf right now is the womans cooperative in the community faso and it supports both female empowerment and Environmental Protection for the evening the women here wash the plastic bags on disinfect them in the move to leave. The next step is to cut the bags into thin strips and roll them on to spend. Any. Thread is woven on into durable fabric. Which is used for making briefcases and other stylish bags. The item sell for between 20 and 50 euros. The woman in the cooperative 250 year as a week. Not allows them to support their families. Also doing something good for the environment. 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. Now for taxing the environment is one thing Economic Activity is another but they dont necessarily have to be in conflict with one another but in our next story we look at a phony situation in balad where conservationists are warning that the governments plans to turn the idyllic meandering river pripyat into a major commercial waterway also mean linking the baltic and the black sea would be an ecological disaster. This might look like a legendary kayaking excursion but for constantine chick karloff its a protest for the river felipe yet. This is the 3rd year that the chairman of the belorussian Environmental Organization bogner has organized tours like this one. He wants people to experience the unspoiled nature along the river and to demonstrate against an inland waterway which could be built here. At a company for us the purpose is like a european version of the amazon river. This place is unique because people can come here and see what rivers used to look like what nature in europe was like once. And if we can preserve these large areas of wild nature were also hoping to keep the ecological balance on the european continent by a long cycle you skew so much that if you are please come the proposed waterway would cut straight through 11 nature reserves and the activists say it could destroy a unique ecosystem the canal is supposed to connect to the baltic sea and the black sea its route to go through one of the last big wetland areas in europe with rare black older forests. 90 percent of the birds in ballarat live here including endangered species some animals nest directly on the untouched banks. This is tall covers 35 kilometers along many narrow wild sections of the river which would have to be dug out to allow commercial traffic. When the group stops for a break they talk to local thats about the pan of water way. Often people in the villages only have limited sources of information and we can be one of those sources for them so that they dont only get information from state media but also hear a different opinion. Should be sure the war because then they can decide for themselves what they want the rivers infrastructure to develop what they want to protect the environment around them and keep it healthy. With us they are. Dating the kayaking Campaign Many here are participating for the 1st time during breakfast constantine chalak of shares his concerns about the water way he believes that balance should be investing in eco tourism on the river people at rather than in cargo transport. So unusual moment on some people dont think about leaving these spots untouched simply leaving them to nature itself. Someone. To just sit down peacefully just like this and simply watch to hear the birds singing or watch things slowly changing the thought of them by your so its in your own. The activist warns that the construction of the can now could destroy the wetlands here the river bed would have to be deepened to allow big ships to pass thats why constantine chalak of his doing what he can to prevent the prepared from becoming another example of an ambitious economic project with catastrophic consequences for the Natural World nothing new. Here. There are those who often wonder if school really teaches you what you need to know for the future well there is an in the mantra school not too far from here on the ask it of lagos where the children certainly learned some important lessons about Renewable Energy about Sustainable Living on the earth they do indeed for one thing they see fast hunt the advantages of solar power because the school generates its own but thats not all and well show you why. It was and what these kids have lots of ideas about what can be done to combat Climate Change burn fuel for still feels ride a bicycle use solar power discussions of this nature are giving high priority at this school who want our children to problem solve most want them to be people able to look at the environment and not do things the usual way. School principal because a lot is leading by example she runs the adverse heart school the private elementary institution not far from lagos the principal has had solar panels installed on the roof of the building. Firm well such that we have. No doubt that theyll. Each of them retired what i thought by right. The client reviewed in. An archery the 50 the best the conditioning the lights in. The barn without in order classroom. But getting to this point wasnt. A sizable investment required but the school was only able to get a bank loan so part of that money. So make it up with our own personnel fiancees and those school finances so. We have no issue the challenge of financing and we also have a challenge of getting. Mom power you know trained to manpower only understand the setting up of the projects the automation parts of the project and then the maintenance also. The students of land that everyone can do their parts to ease the burden on the environment. Instead of going in for so far as you can use in your book and sources. Like so not go see a funny wind energy and i jus imagine tried our best to save the planet like the card tricks from danes without using the plan since theyre called my friend he says he only uses jerry chiles for only 2 days the rest of the day susu up on those hours on few months to try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abbotts hard school is dependent on reserve solar energy stored in batteries it then has to limit the use of electricity turn down the air conditioning or ton of some of the lights but by generating its own clean energy the school is saving money and producing electricity without producing harmful c o 2 emissions we are way behind in nigeria in. Bringing up creative and innovative ideas so protecting our environment and protecting the future of the nation one of the greatest lessons we have to teach our children in this day and age is how to make them their mentors better and safer place the example set by the school is teaching the students the importance of protecting the environment in very practical ways the home is that they will now share their new insights with us. Yes indeed in our sense that European Union faced out and can descend light bulbs Energy Conservation for lighting has dropped 30 percent african countries could do that too what do you think sandra i think that would be a great idea that Technology Comes from the global north but there are many other ways rich countries can support the global south undoing environmental damage income. So many of the trees have been cut down. For the future now i. Plant thousands of new ones. Is the most important material when it comes to making guitars. With its density durable a t and dark color is particularly suitable for bridges and taylor guitars a leading manufacturer of acoustic guitars gets most of its raw material from cameroon one of the worlds biggest suppliers of ebony recently the u. S. Based company committed itself to raising and replanting ebony trees in the congo basin forest of southeastern camera so far its grown 5000. 00 saplings its target is 20000. 00 trees within the coming years matthew the project manager is responsible for the nursery. Collection of seeds. The germination of the seeds care of the plants and. Cameroon is facing a rapid increase in deforestation the country is set to lose an area of forest around twice the size of gambia by 2035 according to the center for International Forestry research ebony trees which take hundreds of years to mature are disappearing fast cameroons forests are cleared for palm oil and cocoa plantations the cameroon based Congo Basin Institute carries out research on ebony and other tree species in the region. Then sound the blue leads the ebony project fieldwork hes very aware of the threats that ebony trees face. Probably the biggest threat to the survival of ebony is the destruction of forests because ebony is that dense forest trees that thrives in the undergrowth and they cant grow in a plantation in the forest is removed the essence is lost they cant regenerate itself in Agricultural Land you go girls. In 2011 taylor guitars became the koala of this 70 sawmill and yellin day camerons capital. The wood comes directly from the forest to the sawmill where the company processes it to make different parts of guitars and other musical instruments. Only the best wood is used to make the instruments this means that many trees have to be felled and milled to ensure the company gets the quality it wants. The firm insists its not interested in green washing trying to buy an environmentally friendly image i think is a wonderful opportunity for us to. Not just use the word. People like to have on their guitars and violins but also a great opportunity to be able to replace that that would replace those trees make. A really responsible exploitation of of ebony the benefits not just the people who buy the guitars or the company that produces them but also the local communities that depend on these forests for their livelihoods. The evony project has teamed up with a cameroon government local villagers and the Congo Basin Institute to ensure a Sustainable Production circle. But there are also plenty of people who criticize the companies initiative. According to val sound of blue there are viable alternatives to the precious black hardwood. This is obviously this is not necessarily the only wood that can be used and other wards are also popular but i think theres actually a very strong aspect of tradition in the end we use that money to make the guitar because its what the customer wants. With these young ebony trees the Company Wants to insure its own future of course but it also hopes to give at least Something Back to the forest after all thats been taken from that. Getting around and make a speech of this all to no one even if you can take me literally always there is the one in tanzania has been growing but crawling out like and if not wont want to fly me and people because of the nightmare that it very well with the help of the wild bank misfit you mean the from by developing i was one of the 5 it was operating on a little. There was a time when it could take up to 2 hours for e. G. To get from his home to work in the morning although he lives within the city limits so. He was dependent on the dollars mini buses that are the most common means of transport here. Theres a lot of pickpocketing on the many buses because so many people are packed in together theyre usually full before you even get on. The other problem is that there are so many traffic jobs. You spend a lot of time just sitting and waiting to move its also exhausting. Heavy traffic on a typical morning here with more than 5000000 inhabitants die in a salon is the biggest city in tanzania and its growing rapidly in the next decade the population is expected to balloon to 10000000 and that poses a huge challenge for transport authorities run of luck atari heads one of the agencies tasked with adapting and improving infrastructure. People were experiencing a look just. Their infrastructure was also some of it was not very good so many hours were lost. Being on the roads were going to work in the mornings and in the evenings when people would be back home. One solution a bus based Rapid Transit system with a network of dedicated bus lanes that bypass much of the traffic across the city the system so far stretches around 21 kilometers and has already cut travel time for some residents and half the 1st phase of the 6 phase project was finished and 2015 when we considered all the options the bus systems could be easier we imagine we are simply because oki said your course was cool train system and we also looked up to see beat because when you. Bring in a bus system most of the people who are working got out of school be absorbed. Into a new system the system benefits the environment and it was supported by the institute for transportation and Development Policy a Global Organization that advocates Sustainable Transportation before the b r t came into doris long Public Transport Services provided by heavily polluting mini buses and the b r t was able to replace 3000 vehicles with 140 high capacity buses that all meet a much better emissions standard and it was also able to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions that contribute to the global credit crisis the new bus system has been a blessing for salim and hes just one of thousands of passengers who have cut up to 50 hours a month from their commute. The money right there i used to feel bad because i was getting home so late my kids were p. S. By the time i got home i want to talk about it so much better now you know i get to spend time with my kids and look over the homework im playing with them a little so its not the market because the rapid bus gets me home so much faster when. There are still 5 phases to go until the project is complete the network will then cover around 130 kilometers until then sometimes it even and the other residents. Will have to rely on Dollar Dollar as for at least some of their journeys. What a great project the rocky transit buses will then be kept in late in the cold but one e. P. In peoples lives and maybe if it isnt the one thats open today if papa thank you for joining us i do hope you other book on both i did i am fun to know you are finding open confinement here in uganda and farewell for me to know its a way and not just of the Mission Foundation talk you can stay in touch by visiting our website and on our social media platforms to see them on your screen on to our next show as well by.
