A little. In Lagos Nigeria. Things looking in uganda right now high near to it is a similar picture here for example ever since the government imposed dont equally fold the impact with no tourists coming through the research insufficient Funds Available to buy food and a medication to cater for the young the most well thats so much more is being affected by call that one team but we are glad that you could join us on these new episode of africa i am saundra to nobody here in kampala uganda and heres what is coming up shortly. We know how the corner by reza because humans but what about other primates we visit on chimps sanctuary here in uganda to find out in kenya well hear about a project of it along as you look close to and im leaving grazing butterflies and in ghana well meet a group of young activists with a mission saving the a forest. Lets talk always shall write in uganda also we are only too aware that the covert 1000 pandemic causes spread like wildfire all across the globe ont he tells afflicted nearly every aspect of our lives so wouldnt it stand to reason that this aggressive virus also poses a greater risk to our closest causing the chimpanzees conservationists think it does and that is why one chimp sumptuary is taking every precaution possible to protect the endangered eps. Before boarding the boats of the shows of the mainland just barracuda is careful to disinfect the skin and clothing for overseas the well being of chimps in uganda is known by many nick victoria. Even though that is a constant for this just a little bit with. The colorful bit about them. And theyre also very 4 letter word for. Us is of only the parts. They Chimpanzee Trust provides a safe haven for 50 chimpanzees in the 95 acre island. Most to blame of victims of illegal white knife trade and human wide life conflicts these days because of called good 90 this stuff here in highlight food from the mainland is even more strictly controlled than usual. For example it is up it is by the time we just thought it of going from the farm to the truck drove up to the market. Also into our supply so by the time we thought it good we dont know who was under the dome where has come from so we are very careful about it all the food we get we disinfected. Genetic studies system its not humans share name to us into their d. N. A. And. So not surprisingly the of so susceptible to many of the same diseases. And while the as it been a case of cold man team reported among the chimpanzees so far just short of a to remarry team at taking no chances on it it did this is a distant past i wanted to because if i was. Given that this excuse and that and other care. Then they might have his team sunday if they spend if they got a notice that was an hour of the number in this change and then they are able to put cooler that in the area for many as 2 hours to well come to visit and even spend the night and the number i learned. That also changed because of the recent one day me because theres a cowardly bod from the island to be tough for the animals but the loss of income is i begin may get to the impact on the trusts conservation efforts the income we were running from tourism was going a long way in feeding the chickens and also taking care of the stuff and paying them and now were not able to do that so on were already topping into our resolves and were worried of course a little bit confound that about how long we can keep this going or how long this crisis is going to go for us as resources dwindle they team are looking to condo for a solution despite their fiction and dedication to the primates who knows it will be difficult but they cant give us to steal and if you guys they shouldnt goes bankrupt so this was cause for high level of the little man and the education so we are not filming mickey i give a grand out for africa people hold that eclipse or this kind of war so our presence. Is important and that they might make that announcement that happened on the island been counseling that stuff on the one of them which im sure that they could pad for an inevitable but i dont know that walking in today such as. The clinton days the ill be away for a minute. Chimpanzees i can see that endangered the Chimpanzee Trusts effort to help save the species from extinction i like to be funded by donations from around the wilds that is something you mentored by income generated by 2 ice visits but now that the island has been shut down due to the pandemic he ses theyre not sure how much longer they will be able to continue the a one to. 10 times for the chimp positrons term leg victoria the repercussions of the call that in 1000 crime are being felt everywhere in the gun noncapital. Met with professor christopher garden. Thats right sondra and this professor is an environmental scientist with an area of expertise in Environmental Health with a whopping 1000. 00 pandemic on everybodys mind and that was also the focus of the eye discussion in particular. On the environment in both the shot and the long. As the traffic is reduced and could get through production has been decreased they missions that would normally ok well too much we retreat use but this is true for the short term the fact is that when Industries Come back online the likelihood is that theyre going to speed up production to make up for that got. To close its going to be a cap and production of such items which they have to catch up or. Many of. The cheaper forms of. The most polluting. And you find that as to destry use a starbucks up to get can be cashed. So there you do you use those cheap or a socialist all through. Energy as much as possible to at least break even. We encroach on forests on farms she serves encroaching into wetlands and so forth and all of this brings us into closer contact with wild animals and now the transmission of these. Zoonosis these pathogens viruses and so forth from a mills like bats to humans is going to be more probable. I think to have a long. Engagement. We need to have other people involved we need environmental scientists we need zoologists because you know that. Current thinking is that the disease spread from a wild animal to money and to suspect him back about. But just as we have. These or not exist moving from animal to mind go south disease that can move from man to animal. You need a zoologist to know where without animal girl goes then thats a potential spread of infection dynamos unfortunately they dont carry mobile phones so they cannot be traced that way you need to do the actual study and. We need to prepare because there will be another that just corner types iris well theres 3 years time or 5 years time or 10 years theyll be another one we need to know more about environments what is happening around us we need to understand the implications of Climate Change and how that influences all these other factors so we do the right thing right from the beginning. Theres a lot of knowledge with our. Traditional. Custodians of knowledge i do you just cant you just knowledge knowledge stops is we are losing day by day which is not documented we have to use that knowledge combined with the morton approach. There are many ways that we can do this but we need to start thinking positive and planning for the future because if we are always in that reactive mode. This crisis. Hopefully the people in charge here in africa will also take appropriate action from ghana we now head to egypt on this weeks doing your bit with a couple of guys who have found a way to recycle a valuable material by turning them into something you could call monumental.
