We visit one where the government has introduced the steps just on this in going to the bank notes. We also see how a military training drones can actually promote conservation. And we need to the deny an artist who is using you on one has to pull for greater protection policies. It is a well established fucked that rhino horn is essentially made up of the same substance as a human fingernail but it continues to sell for us to normal prices especially in east asia where it is considered to have him in paulas south africa hawza nearly 80 percent of the was whining and husband todd reporting with only about 20000. 00 on was left in the wild the country has now resulted in drastic measures in order to preempt porches bucks have started to be gone or they are rhinos going to.

In a last ditch attempt to save them rhino 911 has been assigned to help dear horn rhinos in the province the animals acid dated before the precious horn is sold off. Beautiful home probably about. 500 kilograms. Tragic that many of you do this but unfortunately the only option that we have. Been trying to do something about. Trying to trying to solve these animals. The team needs to up quickly before the rhino wakes up again horny is a drastic procedure that removes about 90 percent of the hand that conservationists tell us that in some areas even d. Horn rhino is. 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 poppy force it looks brutal but when carried out by professionals it is safe and pain free we make sure that we dont cut into the growth. Part of the whole where its definitely feeding and we also wouldnt be good from an infection point of view and rigo the bone so i think in this case i dont feel that theyre over stimulated theres a lot of vibration going for the body this is not a fool anesthetic you know its not a lot like being in a theater so that so they would respond to it but i dont think its been.

Well were losing animal the morning rightly using i dont have dry nose 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 its a real story animal. And we need to save them for generations to come that. They were going to wake up. Most rhinos seem unperturbed when they wake up and simply resume grazing with 3 years rhino 911 has been working with authorities to dion rhinos in public parks and reserves the precise numbers of those deep. Kept secret for their protection. It is sad about such drastic measures sometimes we need it to protect us now when it is often say that every lead to beat helps and thats certainly the case when it comes to the environment one young student in germany has formed a way of tommy Plastic Waste into sustainable tiles and the best thing is the end product looks just like expensive marble take a look at this weeks doing your big. Tiles look like marble but theyre actually made of 100 percent plastic. Creates them from the materials. The designer based in germany 1st greens and shorts the waste. In an oven shot from the. Plastic. Toxic fumes so acutely wears a mask for protection as she needs and precious the match she merely what happens in nature. And 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 and here it becomes part of the stand 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. Of the fat. Blameless to take waste and turn it into something useful thats also beautiful and durable. Akira theres 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. That does a tweet. Hash tag doing your bit so. We share your story you. Really look great and be impressed were going to stick with the Creative Team and 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 artist come out with influence they have the parts suppliers and fascinates us and also to make us think could be in our yard. Painter whose works draw our attention destruction of our oceans coffee cup pay them a visit to find out. In his to do you. Doubt about 2 things he laughs deeply fish on the ocean his nickname with furry. Mr fish much of his wick he picks the Sea Creatures struggle with pollutants dumped into the ocean nalco had no specific thing when he 1st started painting by 20 years ago but having grown up in a Fishing Community his consent for marine life drew with Environmental Issues becoming more and more pressing ive been painting from the best bits of the shut eye and seen some great for some years back and now still end up seeing the pollution aspect of it 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 a bot do anything about it in this way ending up in. The bin thousands illustrates the puti of the scene contrasting it with the damage done by human activity. This is a joke that now lives of he hopes it can also save the greater purpose of helping preserve the ocean for future generations. If we leave this time to see the dinosaurs and all the animals that 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. Who visits the beach in his Community Every day beacon at least washed ashore. He recycles these whisp writings by using them for his spin teams telling the real stories of how polluted to see these but who has a wish to go to wendy live under the sea to live with one thing and fight for it to be kept clean and for have the privilege to be in day to day life and outdoor believe in a run of the beautiful bit of the whole of my life. The importance of preserving to seem. That way is a constant reminder of that. We had to send a go announcement some more individuals dedicated to helping the planet this time on shore then zio the day works in the service of the cops planting trees wherever they can these include 1st and foremost mowing the trees as well as. Socalled boy entries there involve the residents in the projects thats important because its only when people realize the benefit of trees that they will protect and take care of their. Fellow. Planting trees is now a days santa is favorite activity. She and a group of volunteers want to make this sandy parking lot on my i think hurts of the car more has special. Im planting a salmon and. Its a shame tree that can grow up to 20 metres high. 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 n. G. O. S 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 or. The n. T. O. Actually took its name from a tree in a bed a is the word for murdering guy 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 a 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 all plant. Big cities are growing as a graph taking speed in senegal. In the past 60 years the country has lost around hof of its forests to urbanization. Tens of thousands of hectares of woodland continue to be destroyed every year. Yet in fact to some of them 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. The 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 trains 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 that military training grow these large secluded a. B. S. I use proxies military maneuvers and its lower than we made in germany for instance many whereas this year following refuge on Army Training grounds birds wild caught wolves all sorts of plants and insects more or less left to their own devices in fact most German MilitaryTraining Areas are part of a European Network dedicated to preserving biodiversity. Constant 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 once. 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 have find small munitions and dont forget weve been using this troop Training Area for 80 years so you find all sorts of stuff here. Just 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 arab 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 the 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 letson it was one of the 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. Of. Destruction by tanks and artillery creates new ecological niches says army ecologist wilfried korten pons foreman tank trails and bomb craters where frogs and newts can spawn. This is not static Environmental Protection habitats are constantly changing but theyre also valuable areas not in regular use by the military where nature can evolve organically. 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 one thing she really useful is that they get into all the corners under the bushes into parts of the woods we cant reach as a machine cant do that the sheep saw prince grazing on droppings at the turn to the state that nature needs who has pulled. The sheep of spent numerous summers in the military zone and are well used to it says shepherd col hines kinkel. In the review any generally whenever theyre shooting even heavy fire youd be amazed how fast they adapt if they do get frightened they huddle together as one crew member. 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 in bomb order to spike 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 its really so where humans are responsible for the environmental destruction on deforestation that are happening to drive Climate Change and you know africa way especially hard hit by the consequences of that is right near to let us look one of these small Central African country has lost nearly 20 percent forest cover in just the last 10 years but the country is working hard to clean up its act with recycling initiatives and a ban on plastics now they get a Payment Systems could provide another helping hot if you want to take a motorbike taxi in wandas capital for example you cant pay with banknotes anymore and thats just the start wonder hopes entrancing me to phase out the 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 ystem has been in place since may 28000 motorcycle taxi drivers have signed up the Technology Behind it was developed by a real one company. They are registering names on our platform and all saw they are opening a bank account so were working with. A local bank so that they can be open a bank account at the same time and registering their name on our platform. After signing up the drivers get a smart phone 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. 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. The 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 made of paper are worth so one of the benefit to be. The worst. Thing that they always do also has. An impact on the. Second is. Who would know how best. Since the pandemic newspapers have been pushed to go digital only at 1st publisher Jeanette Omar Ashour who saw a decline in sales but now she sees the impact of going digital. You no longer see this paper bags in somewhere in there and so i think this. That is all for them if the you didnt want to say goodbye to the print media there was another thing stray kirsch so we need to operate to get to the digital. 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 coach is on and also keep our eyes open and let you know how it goes but no with going to the end for today and im excited that you could join us thank you all for watching i am sunda to nobody here in kampala the capito or uganda thank you sandra its 5 for me its really Lagos Nigeria we will be back next week with noise firing stories on our weve got make up on it a better place to live in spite of the brain damage see you next time and do stay healthy.
