Plenty to talk about when it comes to the Environmental Issues today we are a few reports that we hope will cheer you up a little and in Lagos Nigeria. Things looking in uganda right now high near to simulate picture here for example ever since the government imposed on lockdown equally felt the impact with no tourists coming through the reason sufficient Funds Available to buy food and a medication to cater for the animals were that until much more is being affected by covert 19 but we are glad that you could join us on these new episode of the africa i am sandra tree nobody here in kampala uganda and heres what is coming up shortly. We know how the core numberous of because humans but what about other primates we visit on chimps sanctuary here in uganda to find out in kenya would hear about a project that i was looking on and im leaving grazing butterflies and in ghana well meet a group of young activists read a mission saving the a forest. Lets start always shall write in uganda else we are only too aware that the covert 1000. 00 pandemic causes spread like wildfire all across the globe ont he tells affected nearly every aspect of our lives so wouldnt it stand to reason that this aggressive virus also poses a greater risk to our closer to causing the chimpanzees conservationists think it does and that is why one chimp sumptuary is taking every precaution possible to protect the endangered eps in its path. Before boarding the boats in the shows of the mainland just cheryl cwindows careful to disinfect the skin and clothing for recalled overseas the well being of chimps in uganda is known by now and in nick victoria. That is a constant for the situation that led to the colorful bit about them. And also very 4 letter word for. Viruses of all in the past. The Chimpanzee Trust provides a safe haven for 50 chimpanzees of the 95. Most to blame of victims of illegal wildlife trade and human wide life conflicts these days because of covert 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 it gets off the top going from the farm up to the truck drove up to the market. Also into our supply so by the time we thought it gets we dont know who was under a bit of what has come from so were very careful about its all the food we get we disinfected. Genetic studies estimates that chimps and humans share name to us into their d. N. A. And. So not surprisingly he have some susceptible to many of the same diseases. And while the as it being a case of cold maine teen reported among the chimpanzees so far just short of a coon to underbid to remarry team at taking no chances on it it did this is a distant past i want to tell because if i was. Given this excuse and that another care. Then they might have his team found if they spend it they get a notice that theres enough of the number in this chain and then they are able to put cooler than the area for many as 2 hours to well come to visit and even spend the night and the number i learned. That i sold changed because of the recent one to me because theres a cowardly bite from the island be tough for the animals by the loss of income is obviously a negative impact on the trusts conservation efforts that 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 we are already topping into our results 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 as resources dwindle they team are looking to go for a solution despite their fiction and dedication to the primates knows it will be difficult for the caregivers to steal and if you get maids they shouldnt goes bankrupt so this one calls for a high level of commitment and that the kitchen still we are not filming they cant divide you know ground up for africa people or that eclipse or this kind of war so our presence. Is there on time from the time i made that announcement that happened on the island been counseling that stuff on the one of them i think that they could pad for an inevitable it will shut down because now theyre walking into this i said and for 20 days out of the away from under it. Chimpanzees i can see that endangered the Chimpanzee Trusts to help save the species from extinction i like to be funded by donations from around the. Supplemented by income generated by 2 ice visits. To the island has been shut down due to the pandemic whew. Theyre not sure how much longer they will be able to continue doing i want to thank you. 10 times. Victoria the repercussions of the corbett 1000 crime being felt everywhere in the capital. With professor. Thats right sondra and this professor is an environmental scientist with an area of expertise in Environmental Health with a hope in 1000 pandemic on everybodys mind and that was also the focus of that discussion in particular the end of the virus on the environment in both the short term and the long term. As the traffic is reduced and good gets through production has been decreased they missions that will be ok will automatically reach 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 the gap to close is going to be a gap in the production of such items which they have to catch up. Many of the cheaper forms of. Are the most polluting. And you find that as to destry use a starbucks ought to get going because truck so that you do you use those cheaper sources of. Energy as much as possible to at least break even. We alll forests on 1st yourselves encroaching into wetlands and so forth and all of this brings us into close contact with wild animals. 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. Longer term engagement. We need to have other people involved we need environmental scientists we need zoologists because you know that the current thinking is that the disease spread from a wild animal to mom and to suspecting him back about. It just as we have. These are not to get zs its moving from animal to mind go south disease that can move from month to animal. You need a zoologist to know where would that 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. We need to prepare because there will be another its corner type cyrus whether it is 3 years time or 5 years time or 10 years theyll be another one we need to know more about environments and 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. Traditional. Custodians of knowledge i did just indigenous knowledge knowledge that is 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 were not here to egypt on this weeks doing your bit a couple of guys who have found a way to recycle a valuable material by turning them into something you could call monumental they call it.
