About species extinction reverse and biodiversity loss i am personal lives coming to you from lagos nigeria. Thank you crease and the recent no 2 ways about it this is indeed an extremely grave problem bartz heal and equal africa we also want to show you that theres some Great Projects under gives out there on how to stop the decline in species i am sunda to nogay here in Company Uganda and heres a quick loop some of the stories that will be looking not in todays special edition. We go to kenya well species of until now based on the brink of extinction bought a Breeding Program is trying to send them. A grass baits are a marine corps house box they have seen huge losses in recent decades german scientists in my time im not. And finally Invasive Species of animals and plants a causing couple in many parts of the one banks people in the museum of finding solutions. Every day we lose more species of plants and animals pollution forestation poultry and other human activities at the straw in our planets reach wire guy versity. Hes extension is jerry the hole in a sophisticated well says it. All in a while extreme weather thanks even tired yes think that including the coral reefs i feel for many fish big changes brought up all by humans at the driving. Range all 4 on 4 theyre not sure. Yet are all few facts and figures on these warring developments you know. The list of animals and plants that have become extinct is already desperately long and over 12 percent of remaining species are on the brink of extinction according to the intergovernmental science policy platform on biodiversity. Extinction means gone forever wildlife populations have collapsed by more than 2 thirds in less than half a century. Over that same period the human population has grown considerably. The global assessment report on biodiversity and ecosystems says pressure on the environment is growing and so on is global g. D. P. Consumers are buying more and industries consuming more Natural Resources especially in developing nations plus urban populations have more than doubled in the last 3 decades the loss of habitat is the greatest driver of species extinction particularly in rural areas slash and burn methods are used to clear land for agricultural and livestock farming the direct exploitation of Natural Resources such as deforestation and overfishing in the worlds oceans are the number 2 cause and the Climate Crisis is. Changing many ecosystems to such an extent that some species can no longer find food finally theres environmental pollution caused by industry traffic and by us individuals to Plastic Waste alone has increased 10 fold since 980 but some action is being taken a network of countermeasures is gradually developing more than 130 countries are part of the latest global efforts to protect biodiversity some countries are now building up databases with d. N. A. Samples of endangered animal and plant species. And to be jordan is asians like the United Nations in the world bank have pledged more than 200000000000. 00 in order to further environmental goes. Well we are off to kenya the sea wall of the rarest own solo in africa to go there critically and you are that already so late. To make things even want they are of the last. Season and ongoing. The kenyan government is a month and has now implemented a plan to simple species on. Animal keep us women more ruthie has come to check on his charges he looks up to mountain vogels of the mount kenya wildlife. He feeds them twice a day and makes sure the had of they arent enough is intact i like it i love the job and im proud you know having that. That was no more there but now its here so its made me do it with with me not with me a lot so i like walking here i love with. My aim is to have as many as i can. Here in captivity the animals dont have access to all the vegetation that would find in the wild thats why theyre deep in me traditional supplements known as been good for years these special pellets i reach in protein and fiber which boost the antelopes immune system. The airport seems to be paying more into the kenyan wildlife conservancy. The mountain. Nearly extinct in the wild in kenya and so are a few born and taken to the us was for breeding and in pools of and 4 we received. From different groups in the us and for those 18 we started the Breeding Program here on sunday and we have a total of 77. 00. Last youngest was born on the 7th of july and it is the 7 to 7 the bungalow. With the increase in numbers to conservancy plans to release 25 into the Mount Kenya Forest backing up or is sad but its ok if this has. 800. 00 acres for a protected century. This enclosed area at the 4th of mount kenya is not just a sanctuary for mountain bungalows knows a rare white zebras in the hads of buffalo also find protection here from porches and pretend we divide these bongos into different products because of the species that we have a moment. In the near future when we put them in the sanctuary this is problem would be so they dont completely so what you can see here is one of the breeding hunts. Its not just poaching the threatens the real antelopes they also have to contend with a variety of diseases and the loss of natural habitat. Every point and other animal keep looking forward to the coming weeks soon 5 new mountain bone will be born increasing the species chance of survival. But i know you see and waitlist is the most important and most. Inventory of plants animals and of fun by 30 and with extinction the International Union for conservation of nature hes responsible for maintaining the database it contains more than 100000 species in categories ranging from the least courson to the extant we said told to us conservation expands how badly africa is affected by the use of barris or species and how important the red mist is for the protection on the most and plants. By loss of. Life. Of diversity and when the species is lost its. That balance. I think its so important for us because normally. On. Almost. Species our food. Our environment and so on thats very important for human being to put it would have species is morally unacceptable that its wrong what its not. Because you know that the extinction of species is an irreversible sentiment. Under species. In the domain of conservation but however. You know some more you consider some are more important some are like were in it all was a commission is a but even bots really because the bit in the process of the position of or the species but at the same time they produce different order of species. In my book the nando most important course of action of he she is the last. Minute because most of this is you who live on. For example when you do for us is. You tend to transform the primary for us in the forest in that is the birds that used to nest on top of very big trees no more reproduce and that then will reduce the population and finally lead to the loss of the species in order to hunt down lot of lands thats. The resource extension as well. I think its. 2 for decision making. Because you know its just an open source of information but why did lot of wall behind. Who are for this youre making. This youre making. A very. Why do you thank you to. Us you had at the start of the program its not just on the ones that are dying out in fact plant species even. But after the importance for ecosystems tends to be overlooked did you know for instance why sea grass is so vital to a seat and why we can preserve it here comes these weeks doing debate we have some. Theyre known as ocean rain forests large beds of sea grass provide a home and food for countless species they also produce oxygen and sequester Carbon Dioxide for a long time. But scientists are warning that sea grass is under threat Global Warming is causing massive algal blooms that cut off the necessary light for sea grass to grow and thats not the only problem. Important so much to get to see if using theres lots of sea grass in the tropics but its disappearing because dynamite is often used in fishing because trenches are being cut to pipelines that creates corridors through the beds in the sea cross cant repopulate those areas. Artificial sea grass could help provide a solution universities and industry have been working together for 2 years on the sea otter project. Just like its natural counterpart artificial sea grass would help dampen why even edgy and prevent seabed erosion providing the right conditions for natural sea grass to grow back. And a recent study highlights another desperately needed service that sea grass provides it appears to continuously filter plastic debris out of the ocean. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our web sites oh send us a tweet. Hash tag doing your best. We share your story. And staying in the what fishes and marine species are suffering from an increase in the sea of species that have no natural previous in the new environment when well see how to news events on trying to get once watch problem back under control. And we all seen the same sort of things happening in many other places sundra so when the weather or ships and planes can transport flora and fauna into eco systems where they dont belong awful think youre in a fight for survival between species the impact and the devastated. Fisherman outs before dawn kalyan their trade in the gulf of japanese. The bay on tunisias east coast is around 100 kilometers long in recent times the fishermen have had to stray even further from the coast to catch fish but youre about darkness and ive been a fisherman for 38 years and a lot has changed in that time of the call for 20 years ago we used to catch loads of prawns but in recent years there have been repeated events that have reduced our catch up on the latest problem was the blue crab they wiped out everything at the drop out of. The 1st blue crab so sports and here at the end of 2014 its a specie that was previously unknown in tunisia the numbers increased rapidly and within 8 months the crabs had become of you menace they would cut the fishing nets eat the fish and deval anything else they could find they became such a problem that the fisherman mix named them dyess after the notorious militant Group Islamic state the blue crab is native to the india Pacific Region they came here father red sea and the suez canal like most of the roughly 1000 nonnative species that have rich the mediterranean ats tunisias National Institutes of Marine Sciences and technology also ben abdallah and her team is studying the blue crabs. The scientists they can to learn more about this destructive species how fast do the crabs grow how quickly do they reproduce and how do they impact other species when they arrive in a new area to help answer these questions theyre analyzing the contents of the crab still marks. How common. Crab is an extremely verey she species. And even the crabs are basically insatiable their feed on all kinds of prairie. Prawns for example also eat several of padds like squid fish and they prey on the fish that live in the gulf of bessemer important for the fishing industry. But the blue crab could also pose a threat to another much larger marine animal the sea turtle the mediterranean is home to 3 species of turtle all of which are endangered they got her in the gulf of gabbers to feed and to spend the winter to the north koreas island is an important nesting ground for the log ahead turtle which lays its eggs at just a few sites on the island. Just a few kilometers away on the mainland hatem is currently being cared for the adult female is more than 30 years old she is mount norrish and has a large fishing hook inside her fate suffered by many sea turtles the scientists here say injuries from both propellers are also common they found these species of plastic in hattons feces the pollution of the seas is another huge threat so the turtles around 2 thirds of the animals examined here have plastic inside their bodies the scientists record and keep everything they find. If you must be in the sea turtles are very important for the marine ecosystem that go to maintain the balance in the food chain and more than loggerhead turtle for example its everything and it will eat crabs and mollusks fish jellyfish here but make sure no individual species can take over if things start to tip out of balance the sea turtle helps to get things back into equilibrium having illegal immigration. In the capital soonest we visit another laborde sri this one focuses on developing aquatic bio pro dots the research is here to study marine organisms to identify natural substances that could be used in cosmetics and other applications they found that the meat of the blue crab is rich in various proteins by turning the crab meats into a powder theyve developed a protein rich food supplements so now the blue crab has an appeal for the domestic markets to the blue crab allport destroy the livelihoods of many fishermen but now its become a source of income allowing the fishing industry to survive and by catching the news in the crabs this Invasive Species is being kept on the control of tunisias coasts. Sure. To come to them its. One giant problem and were nearly in on it to see a period. In 5 millimeters is a foolish outlook. How will Climate Change affect us and our children. And e. W. Dot com slash water. Anyone whos ever been to south africa will of the it is the thousands of kilometers a friend sent that cuts across the land usually decide to keep the lifestyle in place now faces also have the structure consequences for the local environments in addition to being what life youre also providing animals from roaming freely which leads to overgraze in land degradation and biodiversity loss now some herders know reversing the strain. And yes on the ecological revolution. When livestock want to do great plains of the card room in Central South Africa the under most arent allowed to link up 8. 2 percent of education from the reason they have to be kept on the move so they can only eat statics of the plants that ship it takes in the house yes experience and i seem hard landscape has changed since has been grazing is i mean most here. It is made it sound. Pitches and ask growth was not that much but now since we have got it and you see prices were hitting we claim that nor is it good now changing even or increasing favorite. Quote actually. The headers are part of the ship and in both biodiversity project it supports commissioned livestock keep in while boosting language to ration on this 24000 hectare from. The car or so once much green on home to millions of until up and buffalo loose in the top soil and yet drop ins at life. In a bid to recreate degrade migrations of the past the project employs to knead lives talk to people who smokes is a project beat out hes confident that harris kind of helped revive. This restaurant. Because we fundamentally believe that this method or farming give space for wildlife to coexist with production actually culture so thats really the simple vision is to find a make an ism by which we can. Foster biodiversity on production farms. The thousands of kilometers of fences needed for intensive livestock or culture one of the main reasons why wildlife disappeared francis prevent the animals from roaming free grazing land and water they often end up tangled in. You know how to study the effects of defenseless woman method and environment ecologist are monitoring the project over the past 2 years researchers. And a group of students have recorded the number of plants species in selected study sites. The group evaluates the earth for you to index the index is the term in by the amount of being seen on the ground by satellites and allows researchers to compare plant growth in different regions over time. And you can already start picking up changes in trains with the way the herd has been grazing especially over a longer recent period in parts of the farm and the green index shows up quite pronounced and we compared it to traditional farms where it isnt quite as pronounced and they seems to be quite a significant color its just looking at the pixels alone you know and taking the green out of pixelization but from that you can really start seeing a difference there are many positive signs areas that have been grazed by to have seen the car plant growth slowly wild animals are returning to the farm more than 500. 00 until counted and even a leopard was recently sighted. The british respond youve been promised however this yes london season turned out to be very successful. 800 sheep to the herd slowly but surely the project is 10 into a profitable venture. By destroying the plants and animals in i call systems where destroying the basis of foreign existence. Hopefully you found the special us insights well as i did time for me to say goodbye from bush garden in lagos im priscilla thanks for watching and ill see you next time. By case and all of you all of us remember to try and do a bit of conservation you might even want to join one of the many initiatives helping to god away environment do join us next on you can i am somebody to notice saying goodbye from company here in uganda. Oh. It was trying to get famous like a bunch of the cli because i wanted to be a gemini was the name the last few years have been quite a ride. With that and im wearing it on my home but when it comes to gemma because on of course i always look right in the eyes for a chance but perhaps the biggest on the new ill be a blood im going down the road id love to be in the news there are pros and there are calls but when you think the getting there realize it all just another way of never say how you ready to meet the demand and then find me right just do it. Where all. The good to go beyond technology is. Going to. Take on the world. Going to be all about the stories that matter to you. Reply. From me. We are yours actually on fire. Or go by you to seek for food. To prevent something. Draw and cook foods to avoid cross contamination. Cook thoroughly chill microorganisms. Keep food safe temperature cold to prevent bacterial growth. Use safe water and safe Raw Materials to avoid contract. Food producers are the ones primarily responsible for the safety of the food you buy but you can protect yourself and your family from seasonable by plying the 5 keys to sea for food use them you also have a role to play.
