Much of our life right now but we still need to care for the environment right sandra that is right near to a one welcome from me sandra to no video here in kampala uganda satellite data shows that doing the looked on the air quality has improved in many african cities but white life is still suffering animals especially have been the biggest losers in these crises pushing the increase in many of the wildlife resolves what talk about this should be and heres a quick look at some of the stories well be looking on today. We visit one where the government has introduced his lips just on to visit down to the bank notes. And we also see how a military training drones can actually promote conservation. And we meet at the deny an artist who is using you on whats typical for greater protection on a cvs. It is a well established fucked that rhino horn is essentially made up of the same substance as a human thing and will but it continues to sell for us to normal prices especially in asia where it is considered to have him in paulas south africa has a nearly 80 percent of the was why knows on husband todd but poaching with only about 20000 on was left in the wild the country has now resulted in drastic measures in order to preempt porches box started to be gone or their rhinos going to. Landsberg National Park in south africa. Iran has been supported but steadily help has come too late after ripping off its own coach has left it as prey for lions. Helicopter pilot and he could shake ups is out on patrol surveying the area hes a Founding Member of the anti Coaching Group a rhino 911 an organization that provides emergency Helicopter Rescue to rhinos injured all front mostly due to poaching but it also carries out preventive measures. In a last ditch attempt to save them rhino 911 has been assigned to help the horn rhinos in the province the animals are sedated before the patients horn is sold off. Beautiful home probably about. 500 kilograms. Tragic of many if you do that. But unfortunately the only option that we have. To climb to something are you know trying to trimming trees like these animals one of. The team needs to a quickly before the rhino wakes up again horny is a drastic procedure that removes about 90 percent of the horn that conservationists tell us that in some areas even de horn rhino is moderate to extract the remaining stumps reserves that combine the practice of horning with regular food petrol and extensive monitoring could have a chance of saving the large hobbyhorse it looks brutal but when carried out by professionals it is safe and pain free we make sure that we dont get into the growth. Part of the room where theres definitely feeding and we also wouldnt be good from an infection point of view in regard to the one so i think in this case i dont feel that theyre over stimulated this little vibration going to the body as a sort of food anesthetic you know its not a lot like being in a theater so that so they would respond to that but i dont think its part of the process takes about half an hour. The horn is labeled wait for a graph and will later be stored in a secret government vault far away from the park improved security measures and interventions such as de horning have helped south africa to cut the number of poached animals by half over the past 5 years. Rhino 911 works closely with the rhine orphanage in Nonprofit Center that cares for all fund and injured rhino carbs. Youre landing a fundie a mare and her colleague are preparing milk for 3 recent arrivals. Only barely escaped the same fate as their mothers who were butchered for their home on your land the hopes to release the rhino spec into the wild once they have matured but she is concerned about the rise in porch in as a result of the economic fallout caused by corporate 19 rhinos still being killed its a faster pace than they can reproduce. The suns cover tonight has got a picking up in south africa with definitely seeing an increase in costs arriving weve had for costs in 53 days so we definitely think that there is an effect you know there is the Tourism Industries are all closed its very quiet art and the reserves the antipoaching teams try their best to patrol and protect the reserves but we think that that quiet nature of the reserves definitely. Has an effect on the parchin back impedance but rhino 911 has spotted 2 animals on the move time to fix opinions on mixed some believe it makes male rhinos will never others say the horns and essential for survival and grow back within about 5 years these kinds of vision is see no alternative. While were losing animal that are mourning right losing i dont regret i know its for a year in south africa and that number is unacceptable so we need to try and do more we need to dry you know and save the species thats a real story animal. And we need to save them for generations to come that. They were going to wipe out. Most rhinos seem unperturbed when they wake up and simply resume grazing put 3 years rhino 911 has been working with authorities to dion rhinos in public parks and reserves the precise numbers of those de horned. Kept secret for their protection. It is sad about such drastic measures sometimes we need it to protect us now when it is often see that every need to be helps and thats certainly the case when it comes to the environment one young student in germany has formed a way of timing plastic into sustainable tiles and the best thing is the end product looks just like expensive marble take a look at this weeks doing a big. Tiles look like marble but theyre actually made of 100 percent plastic a new sakia of crates them from used packaging materials. The designer based in germany 1st cleans and swatch the waste. Shots and the plastic. Toxic fumes so a kid wears a mask for protection. And curses the match she merely what happens in nature we just consider it in the company i came up with the idea for the tiles because a lot of Plastic Waste ends up in the oceans mostly by rivers in china and africa its broken down into smaller and smaller pieces and it ends up on beaches and through pressure until it becomes part of the stone there and i study the conditions under which rock is formed how its structure is created and then i used a similar process with a Plastic Waste and. Believe mr take a waste and turn it into something useful thats also putin and durable. Acuteness no thinking about founding a social enterprise to produce her tiles on a larger scale. If she succeeds our mountain of Plastic Waste might get just a little bit smaller. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or said just a tweet. Hash tag doing your best so. We share your story. They look great and be impressed were going to stick with the crew yet to be protecting the environment but change continents and come straight back it up because this time to west africa on specifically to get my own capital accra thats right sondra with their creation. Our great influence they have the parts of surprise and fascinates us and also to make us think could we not yako is a good man painter whose works draw our attention to destruction of our oceans it graphic up even the verses to find out. In his to do you. Doubt about 2 things he laughs deeply fish on the ocean he sneaked maine with furry. Mr fish much officer quick he picks the Sea Creatures struggle with pollutants dumped into the ocean now cool had no specific theme when he 1st started painting by 20 years ago but having grown up in a Fishing Community his consent for my real life drew with Environmental Issues becoming more and more pressing ive been painting from that perspective of a shut eye and seeing some plane for some years back and now still end up seeing the pollution as predebate it is going to affect the world and even kind of fishes we have in the oceans so few years to come if we are able to do about do anything about getting this which is not in. The paintings illustrates the puti of the contrasting it with the damage done by human activity. While this is a joke that now lives of he hopes it can also save the greater purpose of helping preserve the illusion for future generations. If we leave this time to see the dinosaurs and the have died and gone. It is in our power in our hands to make sure that the sharks and wills still remain in the ocean. Visits the beach in his Community Everybody beacon up waste washed ashore. We recycle these we spy tims by using them for his spin teams telling the real stories of how polluted to see ease but who has a wish to to wendy live and the decision to live on day and fight for it to be kept clean if i have the privilege. To see the life and out of believing one of the beautiful bit of the whole of my life. The importance of preserving to the ocean. At wake is a constant reminder of times. We had to send ago announce amid some more individuals dedicated to helping the planet this time on shore then zio the day works in the service of the capture of the cow planting trees wherever they can these include 1st and foremost mowing the trees as well as force and socalled from buoyant trees there involve the residents in the project thats important because its only when people realize the benefit of trees that they will protect and take care of their. All oh. Planting trees is now a days samas favorite activity. She and a group of volunteers want to make this sandy parking lot on the outskirts of the car more has special. Im planting a salmon and. Its a shame tree that can grow up to 20. A large square full of shady trees a place to hold celebrations and festivals somewhere to meet the neighbors thats the vision of a local angio has managed to win over the local residents. Living on. The most important people need greenery and as i see it those who respect the environment respect themselves. So we must do what we can to combat desertification by planting trees all over the city. But its not enough to just plunge trees you need to nurture them as well day after day. Its imperative to involve the local population thats what guarantees the survival of the trees and. The n. G. O. S actually took its name from a tree in a bed a is the word former in the wall of language its a versatile tree its leaves and fruit can be eaten or used for medicinal purposes. Scientists have proven that trees bring rain by contributing to the transpiration they trigger precipitation in the clouds more trees mean more rain and the more we cut down the less rain there is one that they say deserts advance but they dont its humans that make it possible things must change we must plan. Big cities are growing as a breath taking speed in senegal. In the past 60 years the country has lost around half of its forests to urbanization. Tens of thousands of hectares of woodland continue to be destroyed every year. Yet in fact this one that theres a lot of pressure on the centers. Population is rising theres more construction and fewer green spaces and trees were neglecting nature and thats why desertification is growing worse in our country. As a result sure sure nature and more irregular wet seasons in the past the rain began in june and lasted 3 months now and things have changed. Everyone knows the trees are useful but we dont give ourselves the means to plant them as a result with operation 1000000 trees and what were doing in the neighborhood were introducing people to the importance of trees the importance of greenery in one day these trees will provide much needed shade offering city dwellers rest bite from the burning sun having planted 750000 trees last year nobody is aiming for a 1000000 in 2020. Nature is reclaiming some areas in our cities i mean also making a comeback in another environment where you absolutely wouldnt expect it to military training grow these lot seclude it is yes i use to practice military maneuvers and i slowed im going to aids in germany for instance many wheres the sea have fallen right huge on Army Training grounds birds wild caught wolves all sorts of plants and insects more or less left to their own devices inside most German MilitaryTraining Areas are part of a European Network dedicated to preserving biodiversity. Constant tank movements and artillery exercises make Nature Conservation at this Army Training ground a complicated affair before the ecologist start work the search Party Patrols the area to make sure there are no nasty explosive surprises lurking in the grass theyre always accompanied by munitions expert from the German Military or. They found a missile its location is marked down and laser bomb disposal experts will pick it up. You have to search carefully as we use everything from small 20 millimeter ammunition to large ordinance and explosives of course its much easier to find bombs that define small munitions and dont forget weve been using this troop Training Area for 80 years so you find all sorts of stuff here for. Those 80 years of Army Maneuvers have helped create a very landscape in bomb holder or grasslands with wild herbs as well as woodlands and brush all ideal for biodiversity. Grasslands are so valuable because theyre hard to find anywhere else theres no arable land so no pesticides no nutrients no fertilizers this is only for military maneuvers. The army has all the heavy equipment it needs to preserve the Natural Environment this Armored Vehicle is used to take care of open spaces to make sure they dont get overgrown it tears up shrubs and flattened small trees. Germany has 1400 square kilometers of land for military drills the Environmental Group nabu commission to study and found something astonishing although there are pollutants like heavy metals and kerosene residue the sites are ecologically important. Didnt let someone else was another situation in these areas is unique the exercises create a patchwork environment there are temporary changes what we ecologists call disturbances in areas where soil is removed there are pioneer sites where rare plants can grow as well as animal species you cant find in the regular landscape. Destruction by tanks and artillery creates new ecological niches says army ecologist wilfried korten pons foreman tank trails and bomb craters where frogs and youths can spawn. This is not static environmental protection. So constantly changing theyre also valuable areas not in regular use by the military where nature can evolve organically not to live. In the air is used less often they deploy sheep several 1000 sheep graze all summer long in the military Training Ground so thats thats what makes sheep really useful is that they get into all the corners under the bushes into parts of the woods we cant reach the machine cant do that the prince grazing and drop in at the turf into the state that nature needs all. The sheep of spent numerous summers in the military zone and are well used to it says shepherd col hines kinkel. In there you can really generally whenever theyre shooting even heavy fire youd be amazed how fast they adapt if they do get frightened they huddle together. In germany large swathes of the Natural Environment to been wiped out chiefly through intensive farming the untamed land in Army Training areas is highly valuable in ecological terms embalm order to spite the bombs and grenades this unique environment get special protection. The power of nature is amazing but we shouldnt rely too much on nature as i believe so we humans are responsible for the environmental destruction and deforestation thats happening to drive Climate Change and you know africa specially hard hit by the consequences. That is right near to let us look a rhonda this small Central African country has lost nearly 20 percent of its forest cover in just the last thing is but the country is working hard to clean up its act with recycling initiatives and a ban on plastics now begins a Payment Systems could provide another helping hut if you want to take a motorbike taxi in londons capital kigali for example you cant pay with bank notes anymore and thats just the start rhonda hopes entrancing with to phase out paper money. Back on the road after 2 months of coronavirus induced absence motorcycle taxi drivers in the rwandan capital kigali are back to work but one thing is not as it used to be mobile payments are now mandatory cash is a thing of the past as well as that being more hygenic drivers are experiencing other benefits to. The device means i no longer have to bargain with the client about the cost of the trip. Now its the meter that determines the fare. Its also eliminated cash transactions whenever i transport a passenger they pay electronically. This is tim has been in place since may 28000 motorcycle taxi drivers have signed up their Technology Behind it was developed by a real one and company. Just during memes or not platform and all saw they are opening a Bank Accounts or working with. Local bank so that they can be open a bank account at the same time and reduce studying their name and. After signing up the drivers get a smartphone which they pay off at a later date the devices are for processing payments and for personal use Cashless Payments are already in use on buses in rwanda passengers use socalled smart cards but not everyone likes them. You know i dont trust electronic transactions when i go to the bank i withdraw paper money and there was a record of that on paper. But this new system is not entirely safe. It was better before. Other skeptics include market vendors who continue to work with cash but they might be fighting a losing battle because the government is. Aiming to reduce the use of paper in general and that includes banknotes. The composition of always. 6 to 8 percent is a made of paper our boys saw one of the benefit to be a cartoon their worst. Thing that they always do or saw its. An impact on a film sick and is. Using wood to harvest. Since the pandemic newspapers have been pushed to go digital only at 1st publisher jeanette omeara shovel saw a decline in sales but now she sees the impact of going digital. You no longer see this paper bags can go somewhere in rwanda so i think that is what that is awful down of the vigilante in saying goodbye to the plates of media. As other things stray kirsch saw when theyre too oct to get it theyre just. A system. These days traditional paper newspapers have been relegated to libraries readers now need to go online the coming months will show just how much of a difference the going paper free measures are making in rwanda. Mobile money is nothing new to africa let us see how fast the idea kutch is on and of course well keep our eyes open and let you know how it goes but know whats going to be end for today and im excited that you could join us thank you all for watching i am sundered to nobody here in kampala the capital of uganda.
