Returning to normal still im also glad that im here that i reporters can finally travel and produce reports in their own countries heres a look at what youve lined up for this week there was a social entrepreneur in uganda whos using recycled plastic to make protective place still so how often do you find out about a new app is in form of a Water Treatment in germany i would go to botswana to learn how dogs are helping to ensure that you watch you just i kill. We starve in south africa here to lock down regulations have been eased in recent weeks but the facts are still noticeable. Being away and nature reserves and zoos are struggling financially the current about this crisis is severely impacted south africas largest bird reserve the world of birds normally it is filled with visitors but those days its empty apart from a few employees and the birds of course. Such of the morning in cape town with a country still under lockdown this is generally not a lot happening outside its a different. Life sanctuary because biggest backpack is home to 3000 ballots and. At this time of the day they only want to be feared. Its putting them in the food qichen john t. V. And his team are getting breakfast ready theyre in charge of the hungry primates. This is about id say roughly about 20. 00 or 300. 00 normally thirds as far our tradition of everything. We obviously always disinfect all of all the for years and so the cycle the. Preparing meals for hundreds of different species require a lot to walk and the vast range of food Fruits Veggies meat and grain. The monthly food bill adds up 2170000 grant they give a little over 8000 iras local companies provide their own half of that in sponsorship but that still leaves the park with a big bill to ford and at present they are not receiving any interest fees to cover the bill the park closes its nose at the end of march because of the coronavirus pandemic many to henry is really we are asking almost daily on on facebook and back a body for donations we are asking in the media for donations but the deference best time if that everybodys asking for donations and at the same time everybody is struggling for donations are coming in very slowly at the moment. Tinoco cut its feeding time priest is one of 15 stuff members currently on duty at the park employees 40 people from the nearby community but they dont only a Skeleton Crew has been present due to coronavirus regulations sunny ties of mosques and social distancing are all part of the routine uk. Its a different story amongst the screw monkeys and green ted limos. The only one to get the best bits. Well the animals are enjoying the food. And wreaked checks on the patients of the hospital the park also functions as a sanctuary for seek an injured wide life such as these poor little creature well the 1st one after birth that came in during lockdown because we still offer that service to the public. Whenever a little raid i doubt that came in during the week possibly about. 12 days although so far hes going to need some care from our for the next few weeks and then will join up with the other thing we really feel mentally. And recant his team hope that local tourists will be able to visit one of my own so that these colorful noisy sure can go on. Ok so now we have around 250500 kilometers northwest of san diego where thong young people have come up with an idea designed to motivate the public to dispose of garbage properly so it doesnt litter the street they added a cool slogan and the dunk your junk campaign was ready to go we find out how they are coming along in this weeks doing your bit. Many cities in west africa dont have enough public trash cans as a result litter often ends up on the streets. To encourage people to dispose of their rubbish properly for the camera from senegal invented a basketball game that makes throwing away litter a fun challenge in this team have designed a bin thats shaped like a basketball the neck is handmade by one of his friends each one both in like a fish in. The group in the bin are made by the local metal worker it takes around to fix the finish one basketball big 40 in the friends pay for everything themselves their pins are placed at public spaces so passers by have somewhere to dump their junk. They call their i. D. s. Which means i score. I. We once in the habit of putting rubbish in the bin here. So for a long time i ask myself how can we solve this. And what would it take to get people to have the reflex of using a trash can. Thats how i got the idea of making basketball pins. So far for basketball bins of him placed around the city of me i mean a 2 hour drive from seneca is capital. That you know plans. Im installing more bitter groups starting at schools. And how about you if youre 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. What a great idea i like to try and see whether i can score a point myself im always amazed by how much imagination young people here in africa show when it comes to dealing with trash problems recycling and reusing things saves cost and protect the environment and now during the quote about aspirin dairy it can even help save lives. Here in northern uganda i recycling company has a Group Operations is not making those fields that are needed in the hospitals all the plastic parts like the straps on the Plastic Waste which ringback often comes from the hospitals themselves. The old. Winnipeg ag works it do new hospital in northern uganda on awards not specifically for favored 19 patients nonetheless as a Frontline Health care worker shes upgraded her personal safety precautions. Its very is a full and very important in this chamber they cant get close to the shames during my 1st year i protect myself for all. A lot of what he does is administer medicine mostly via drip she often has to throw away more than 20 empty drip befalls in a single shift disposing of all. Plastic is burdensome for the hospital but not for peter or cuoco and his team. We normally crowd twice in the month and whenever we come to pick their waste we take about 10 socks 10 plus sucks but we use in our processes a quick oh is a community and environmental activist and his Business Partner page balcombe is an engineer from the us together they founded tech attack a Plastics Recycling Company Based in gulu they had just started producing pavers and tiles out of plastic trash when uganda went into lockdown because of the cave in 1000 pandemic instead of shattering their company they switched to producing essential protective gear for medical personnel fighting the pandemic. Especially heard about the need for official tell all of the hospitals here in uganda dont have protective face shield for the doctors and so were like oh those are made from far from plastics and thats what talk a talk of plastics does maybe we can do something to help Tucker Tucker employs 14 young people to handle the production 1st they start by cutting the number plastic material off the bottles then they wash them and leave them to dry in the sun. Then they shred the plastic the full melting and molding it into frames after attaching the screen and the headbands the fake shields are ready to be used. These they can be reused they can be disinfected in use again by the doctors in the medical stuff but if for some reason they get broken or like even the scrap that we have from production we can take it back to our shredder and we shot it burn it back to small pieces and. Make new face shields new products from it again the face shields cost around 2 year olds 50 each cuoco and balcombe say the company has so far sold about a 1000 of them and for each one sold they didnt need one to a hospital in the region. In gulu plastic litter can often be found in the streets. Tucker tucker is now working with major sources of such trash like markets and restaurants to get rid of it. So weve established a couple of mini collection points in different parts of and initially what used to happen is that the plastics would be making about other categories of voiced and dumped at their land site so when we made this being made from our plastic bottles it makes before realize that were just been specifically for plastics and crime and punishment like the plastics in the bin. But theyre recycling facility cuoco and balcombe attending to future challenges they want to share their designs technology with other recycling operations that too Plastic Waste could be turned into reusable products that would create jobs and protect the environment and could even help save lives. Whats a good example of how little it takes to make a big difference sometimes it is harder in germany a company is researching how to pillory why does he want to more efficiently and the best qualities the hydrogen created as a byproduct can be used to fuel cars something credible but its actually one of those they are still in the test phase. The big cities generate a lot of waste water. Here in berlin much of it gets processed at this see which Treatment Plant. It deals with the effluent of more than a 1000000 people a quarter of the citys population. The water passes through a series of filter beds. Within a day 98 percent of the impurities are removed. Nature deals with the other 2 percent after the water is fed back into the outside world. With popular therefore we are least the treated waste water we are a lot of oxygen to make sure theres enough in our lakes and rivers for the fish and other life forms. As you can see it creates foam but only briefly its entirely biological and it soon disappears over there is gone already. The process of purifying waste water is complex. Samples are taken to various stages in the process for analysis in the plants lab. The water is brown because it contains lots of microorganisms more than 200 species that are added on purpose so they can do their job eat up dirt in the water. When they finish their work whats left over is sewage sludge. Its then fed into bio gas digesters. The gas thats produced their powers turbines to generate electricity to run the Treatment Plant. Whats then left over is process water which is still pretty dirty it can contain compounds that produce ammonia which is toxic to fish so this process water has to be purified some more. We use a biological process to clean out water we deploy specialist microorganisms different from the ones used in the 1st stage of the process. This 2nd treatment step is complex and expensive. Thats where yens hunger comes in. His company is developing techniques to improve the Water Purification process and make it cheaper. He uses samples from the Treatment Plant for experiments in his lab. For him wastewater is a resource a raw material and he hopes to make money with it one day. The violet light shows the purifying process is underway. It involves some pretty advanced a plasma physics. Has come on the force if you can think of plasma small both of lightning which carry a strong electric charge that can split molecules in the water and thereby purify the water. To use. The hydrogen produced can be used as a source of energy. It can be mixed with bio gas to create a fuel suitable to power a vehicle. This Company Already runs on it the companys Test Facility can currently purify 200 liters of waste water a day the facility itself is powered in an environmentally friendly manner with wind and solar energy. The next step for graph force is to build a larger Test Facility at the Water Treatment plant itself. Many people think High Tech Solutions are the answer to protect the environment but traditional ways of life and the knowledge of all digits people can also help preserve the endangered hobbit and the most forest in kenya is home to the people who live from and with the forest together with the organic and enjoy all developed using the forest sustainably for example by sitting up and easily accessible beehives. This is dangerous work the people of the mao forest keep their beehives high up in the trees but the modest amount of honey these hunter gatherers harvest isnt enough anymore here in western kenya forests are being felled to make way for corn and because some other fields. Have been forced to cut it out subsystem from the. Thing to keep cool probably is going currently. Like other kenyans because of the circumstances that. Surround us more and more of them our forest is being lost and the losing their land while the whole Community Leaders have decided to breed seedlings so they can be forest theyre growing mainly native trees the preferred species of wild bees. The old yet have also started using modern beehives on the ground. In there you know we find approximately. Even when the drive to kill us. Where when harvest once the new beehives are easier to access 12 groups of beekeepers have joined together to form a collective honey is a lucrative business. We dont have. Because we have so ministers. Today the reddish black honey is sold out but theres still some be bread left pollen mixed with nectar the beekeepers will also be able to sell this. People have started learning that these. 2 are you know that meek were not trying to improve even because even the tool of talking about does not satisfy the demand which is upcoming our we have got other communities not just this still have the traditional behaves. In the long term its in their interest. Only by preventing further deforestation well the old yanks and their traditions be able to survive. Well we wonder how can we reconcile the interests of nature and the environment with economy it is or is a balancing act what the people in kenya are trying to do with beekeeping is also being tried by another initiative in botswana were built can you tell us more about that in malta blindly sondra a local dog breeds are raised on trains to accompany their herds of cows and goats are shepherd dog the dog to the predator of the way but not only that by making sure that he won them all get killed they killed the farmer happy and happy bombers are much less likely to hunt down and kill predators of like then being judge ito. Families in western botswana have to be vigilant summer in the grass a cheetah might be lurking every year if obamas like Jeffrey Moyer lives around 2 percent of their livestock to have a chance. To feel small when it is the figure is even higher as they often cant afford security fencing. Around fiftys and. Of course the kid out on the pier in the long term if you wanted to but if you did the dealer but it can kill serving it when one does kill. To protect their livestock many goats head issues oh poison predators. But now some of them have started keeping dogs with their heads to keep the big cats away. The families keep the local mixed breed dog which is well suited to the harsh environment. The idea was born at Cheetah Conservation botswana an Environmental Organization based on a nearby farm doctor in a county modise it takes care of the puppies and raises them to become part of the herd them staying with them day and night to protect them against threats. 66 the dog saw for. We turn to. Please more dogs and trying to help or foremost. And in the hands on the other hand to do more she tours in which 1. 3 or 4 trained dogs protect the flock they presence and barking alone is often enough to keep predators that day and they should haves like this are part of an larger strategy to keep livestock from being harmed by wild animals. The Wildlife Organization also conducts research. Michelle crow is the coordinator. She uses camera traps to learn more about cheetahs and develop solutions for human wildlife conflict. The greatest numbers of cheetos can be found in southern parts of africa they are skilled predators that can reach speeds of 100 Kilometers Per Hour making them the fastest land animals but these days the natural range is severely reduced the destruction of the habitat targeted killings by farmers and the hunt for their fur has brought them to the brink of extinction. Predators such as tita their form the top of the ecosystem make it natural prey of control and prey of course also taking on the control as well as corner for us that specifically kids have it also high enough for example that also generally has a Bad Reputation among farmers a very important day clean up park and in this way also clean out diseases in the landscape. Since the program was launched in 2015 many farmers have stopped killing cheetahs for different moyo the program has been a success. Thanks to his dogs he hasnt lost a single goat in the last 5 years i appreciate why theyre in the. Cutting so i will be some people. Luke you. Said what we are if it were a dog to model. Both of us. Many species in africa still survive and coexist in non protected wildlife areas ensuring humans and animals can live side by side remains a challenge thanks to conservation efforts scientists estimate that today they are some 7000 cheetahs living in the wild and some of them their lives to the dogs that watch over the flux in the kalahari. Of. Beautiful animals a teacher of other fosters land animals on the planet and can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers but.
