I am sandra to interview and with me as always is michael presented in nigeria. How are you, chris . Very well, thank you sandra preservation. Thats a good word to describe the focus of todays episode. It can be applied to both resources in our amazing animal kingdom. Lets start off with a brief look at whats coming up. Well hear about how ivory coast is turning organic waste into energy. Find out why Wildlife Conservation is about much more than just numbers. And see how a solar oven is protected trees in barocha. If you have a special 4 Legged Friend in your life, chances are pretty high. Its a dog. They are considered good companions on fiercely loyal to the owners. Thats why its so interesting that people tend to have the of pose, its impression of wild dogs, gene them as destructive an unpredictable but they to have something to contribute to the echo systems in which they leave. Thats why conservation is things in, by way of fighting hard to protect. One especially beautiful species found there. I mean, this pretty pop looks like a peaceful fellow, but these species Bad Reputation has letty. It been one of the most endangered in the world. Just 130 african painted dogs living the one in National Park in north west zimbabwe. Here most people only view the animals as a threat to their cattle and otherwise useless. A local n, julies working to change their perception jim up near atlanta would leave us in front of the c one. David Cooper Walker is a team. If you have to pay the docs in an ecosystem, it means that your pray base is good. If you have a good pri best, it also means you know, it means your, your, your, your, your, your, your produces, you know, your grass or trees and stuff. It means there is something that the prey can feed. So once you have printer docs in the system, it shows that theres enough space and theres enough, ah, wildlife in the spin assist him. The biggest threats to the wild dogs, a trap set my poachers to d. Cover walk as anti porch in unit is on one of its daily patrols around one good National Park to remove snares. 17 ranges from surrounding communities make up this teen. Though the major targets of this traps are small animals perceived for the amine painted dogs frequently get entangled in them over there known to cover great distances in the wild as the hunt. You might, the rangers work would be insufficient without the support of local residents. Once a month, Hoover Walker pays the visits to the my barley community where he meets with a village leader. They discussed their mutual efforts, knowing that collaboration is king to their success. 200. 00 members of the community have organized a voluntary service scheme. Now to protect the wild dogs. Its an undertaking for future generations. Anyone does Work Together in nuclear or live nails and we keep the dog safe. If we dont look after them, i take the wound, the kid no more. Our dog boy young that you do not know what a dog eat. In the past 2 decades, over 30000 snares have been relieved through such cooperation between painted dog, conservation, and communities. But to make an even greater difference, the factors that often push people into poaching in the 1st, please need to be addressed here at the eager yana otts on crowd center. Collected wires, snares find new life in the hands of over 30 artists who are employed to make different artifacts. Mainly for the european markets. A 3rd of the profits around 50000. 00 a year goes to the artisans. The rest supports of the conservation efforts for the painted dogs. We making any must true at so we can look up our parents who can look after our friends, who can look after our children. Saw that they go to school, they go to work and then they make it a living, they improve it. Livelihood is essential for conservation efforts. What so his education, pinta dog conservation is to the hosting a class from one of the 21 schools in wiley for a week on program called eager yana boucher. Its an opportunity for kids around the age of 11 to learn more about the printer, dogs, and the environment. And what i would do is legitimate, an opportunity that is otherwise limited as part of the camps activities. David cova walker is given the children a tour of the n jules rehabilitation center. Injured dogs are nursed back to health here and then released over 80, have already been rehabilitated and sent back into the wild. Jake ganganey ever. Yvonne by m, as i have learned that when painted dogs are in the wild, they mostly hunt down weaker or diseased animals. Do. Im not going on if they become extinct. So there will be a lot of spread of disease among animals, which will see them dying. Nazena says guys are all glass as the sci fi all the efforts going on here. I have in a meaningful impact, but there is still a need for longer term measures to prevent species like the african painter dog from dying out the zimbabwe park. Some Wildlife Authority has been collaborating with painted or conservation and local communities. It believes solutions do exist and is working to implement them the long term solution. In some cases we move animals with their more populated twitter or less populated dust dust. Thus one sure way of dealing with that problem. It also we have been working with other Government Departments to discourage settlements within the animal corridors expanding into protected areas, while more still needs to be done to protect the painted dog. Progress has been made here. Thanks to people coming together with an i to the future as much as the present white glove protection and preservation is a pretty complex subject. And it takes a lot of planning patience, an evil good fortune to keep things balanced. And there are a whole host of outside factors that come into play the economic interest of industry, local agriculture, and human safety, to name just a few. Were going to review some of the Success Stories and describe some of the problems facing certain species and conservationist. Hickles this place home, some of its residents, we already know, but many other plants and animals are yet to be discovered. Humans have only studied a small fraction of the estimated 8000000. 00 species that exist. 1000000. 00 of them are at risk of extinction. Are the main reasons are disappearing . Habitats pollution, poaching and Climate Change species a dying out at a rate and scale. Never seen before. Its dangerous for ecosystems and therefore for us humans too. But how successful are retents to stop this mass loss of life . Lets take a look at zeus some see themselves as conservationists. And many animals that live that are endangered species or no longer exist in the wild. A tool like push of our skis horses. They were bred in captivity and re introduced to their former home of mongolia. Todays wild population of a few 100 descends from just 12 animals. And yet genetically, they are surprisingly diverse, said as a good chance that this species will survive long time. But these Success Stories a few and far between animal conservationists estimate that only 20 species have been saved by zeus. Then there are rescue centers on sumatra in indonesia, there are an estimated 14000. 00 de rang at times left at the beginning of the last century. There were about 6 times as many of the great apes have disappeared along with rain forests which have been cleared for palm oil plantations. Many baby rang tangs have been captured and kept as pets in the Jungle School they learned to survive in what few protected rain forests there were left. So far, nearly 200 animals have been rescued and re introduced into the wild here species can also be protected through regulation. Fish numbers are decreasing in our oceans. Small boats operating along coastline ins report catching far, few fish, pollution and over fishing are the main reasons. Fishing quote is are an attempt to give endangered species time to reproduce. And sustainable methods such as nets with mash large enough to spare, small of fish are intended to protect stalks around 30 percent of edible fish species are over fish and 60 percent are on the brink. One of the biggest problems here is that conservation agreements are not adequately enforced and that leads us to the role of protected areas. To day, about 15 percent of the worlds land area is protected. This has, among other things, helped to save elephants that are hunted for ivory and whose populations have been decimated. Ranges here trying to protect them against poachers. Other animals are also safer from human intervention in these reserves. But in some reserves, elephants, for example, have reproduced so much that their numbers have actually become a problem. They require more food and space than there is and destroy trees, fields and even villages. All but movie, theres been been a good one possible solution is to increase the size of such reserves. And in general, to foster intact ecosystems in which nature regulates itself. Perhaps we humans need to learn to see nature not as something to be exploited, but as something that we are part of or well, something that will probably never regulate itself can now be found everywhere. On earth, plastic our plastics. Ive been a boom to manufacturing and production. Mother, believe weve passed the tipping point. Yes, crease. This situation is very serious, but people are trying to improve matters. We have seen how companies are turning single use items into longer lusting things like bricks. But businesses are also collecting, cleaning, and recycling other plastic items so that they can be met into the same type of products again. Oh, and its report comes from germany around the world. Mountains of rubbish piling up. Plastic waste is especially bad for the environment because it doesnt decompose. 1000000. 00 plastic bottles sold around the world every single minute to produce just one of those bottles. It takes a quarter of a liter of mineral oil, but theres one type of plastic thats cleaner and green up once used. P e t bottles can be crushed and processed into granules, which can then be almost a 100 percent recycle to manufacture new bottles. But how does it work . A recycling company in germany, 400 bales of bottles are delivered here every day. One, bail weighs about 250 kilos and consists of approximately 10000 bottles. It might look like waste, but these bales have their price dies. Mm. Hm, im hoping this is valuable. Raw material. So we have to pay for the bail seo design because they cost roughly 300. 00 to 500. 00 euros per ton. Well put on the 1st step is to release the bottles from the bundle and separate them on a conveyor belts. All of this waste is p e t polyethylene, to rest the late for an obvious reason. As endorse lunch, or if i have been germany, the consumer pays a deposit when they buy bottles. 0. 25 for a single used bottle at the said. Then if they return the bottle, they get the deposit back a little. Well soon as i forget, got so here in germany with our deposit and return system has clearly defined standards law because the quality reversed vending machines can be found. In most supermarkets, you insert your bottle and get a 25 cent voucher in return. Germans are reputed to be world champions in recycling, 97 percent of bottles and now recycled here. Other countries dont have anything like the same number of reversed vending machines. So the recycling rate is far lower. The bottles assorted not only by color but also by material. The system recognizes any material that isnt p t for example, labels and garbage bags. In the next step, the bottles a shredded and washed at a temperature of 80 degrees celsius. Then the fragments is stripped of any remaining residue, leaving pure p e t fragments known as p e t flakes. This machine has to scan vast quantities of bottle fragments. A laser scans the pallets a 1000000 times per 2nd, identifying parts that still need to be separated. This is where the machine was developed. Machine manufacturer own is then saw in south germany. The prototype was designed by stephanie cliques, father, a physicist. That is of its own. Com. The flakes are in this section. The flakes are sent down the channels, and at this level, they reach the laser. Eva, the laser focuses on the flake of the flank, absorbs the energy, and then re releases it in the form of res, which re enter them sheen and are analyzed by a spectrometer oscar thats good. The company has already sold over a 100 of these sorting machines and sales a likely to jump the e you wants to increase the share of recycled p t in plastic products. Not just in bottles, but products such as yoga pops to your good job and mercy and indeed all im fits right on. The e. U is aiming for a recycling quota of 25 percent by 2025 guns orland. Why 1000 dies from cars . He puts and, and theyre aiming for 30 percent by 2030. Its was on the was also 5000. 00 since 2019. Weve been seeing a growing demand for recycling machinery off fargo. Not my daughters. Christina. The p e t. Recycler uses High Pressure to melt down the pre sorted flakes at a temperature of 280 degrees celsius. The process results in these granules. They can then be sold and used to make new bottles, which in turn can be recycled. A number of times fire could the same process be used to recycle other products . Because of the are the main thing is to have reverse vending machines which allow us to extract here, plastics. So yes, this process could be used to recycle other types of packaging. Diego bottle recycling is a well functioning system, but if we want to reduce more of the worlds waste mountains, a lot more p e t packaging will have to be recycled. If it is a bit crazy, on the one hand, we have been buried in the mountains of west that we dont even know what to do eve and on the other, we are destroying interact equals his scenes that afternoon, contribute to the health of our planet. But all these weeks dont get beat. Well see how a moral can inventor has come up with a way for households to save both time and energy. And it does it hum the environment, blah. Every year africa loses around 4000000. 00 hectares of forest land. As trees are cut down, chopped up and turned into charcoal. And its an extremely high demand with many people on the continent still kicking over open fires. A practice thats unhealthy, bad for the environment and fuels. Desertification, mohammad are half a morocco has come up with a solution, a cooker that does without gas or electricity. His priority was to ensure a simple and lightweight construction and low production costs, making it widely affordable. The os will are cooker Harnesses Energy from the sun. A lens in the cover consolidates the suns rays using them to heat the small cooking area below to 200. 00 degrees celsius and higher. Meanwhile, the pots lid has a special black coating that also stores the solar energy of its by the fuzzy to take a dish with vegetable than me not serving 3 or 4 people in can in the winter or fall. When the sun isnt that high in the sky, well see if we need 3 or 4 hours until its cooked up. But if style, if not, if that time is hammed in the summer. And theres even especially developed at that works out how long youll need, depending on the recipe. Muhammad, our house cooker has already won him a high profile environmental innovation award. Its currently still only a prototype, but its set to go into production soon, enabling more people to serve up Climate Friendly treats and tell about you. If you are also doing your bit, tell us about it. This is how websites both send us the tweets hash tag, doing your best we shall, youll still res. Why now . Most of us know that a fossil fuel is running low, but did you ever stop to think about what theyre actually made of . Put very simply for seal fuels, basically consist of prehistoric, plants matter that has been buried in the for millions of years. These days we generate so much plant matter or biomass on a daily basis. It makes sense to find ways to convert it into clean Energy Without the weight or loss report takes us to ivory coast. Look at the developments in the sector there. It looks like plaster, but in fact, this is the residue of the cassava plant. Its fed with enzymes to produce liquid sugar. Once it is fermented, its distilled in this machine, which takes 6 days. The result is bio ethanol level for i b, valera, its the fuel of the future yet by our fossil fuels dont offer enough stability. A jewel under marilyn and the price of petrol and diesel goes up and down from one day to the next. So we dont have any control over the cost of fossil fuels. If was in a lower as with organic farming. We can not only measure our product but more. We can also plan for the future better there. The portal muscle. First test drives have already been done. Now hes just waiting for the permit to produce the bio ethanol. Its a known fact that vegetable scraps have lots of potential. They can be turned into fertilizer as well as fuel. Since last year, michelle ari, gaba has been using his own fertilizer made from organic waste from his village. None debo. It consists of vegetable scraps, animal, dung, and moss. The nutrients benefit his palm oil plantations. Michelle, gaba is happy about the higher yields. I liked, i will have 4 and a half tons per hector got 34. 00 and a half to 5 tons. Electra but these days with what were doing and with what we see coming, were going to double or even triple the production will be what were going to go beyond 10 tons, let them do this. Here to a device helps a container called a cubicle inside the villagers. Organic waste decomposes for a monro about a 150. 00 kilos of solid fertilizer can be produced from 500. 00 kilos of waste. That saves hun of years a year spent on artificial fertilizer. Every once in the inventor of the cubic po, box has developed models for liquid and solid fertilizer, as well as one for bio gas for cooking. They can cost between 450. 90 euros for their exam. Do we need Success Stories so that those who are interested but who may have doubts . Corollary or find me investment a bit costly . Sol . Sounds like will be motivated to take the plunge from sheila, but millions of tons of Raw Materials still go to waste every year. Its a niche market and felix or no r g believes there are still hurdles to overcome. If walker to marcy a corner acre, once the market is known and the demand is real visible, or when people manage to disrupt the market, thats when production will begin. Properly, saucers may cut off a golf, read on blah, a li deborah with. But when you know that you have to go and present products to conquer market chairs are in segments that are already held by the oil industry. On the i did any bar, then this re a billiard ball was good. I think that is still the achilles heel built upon. Didnt go and point out until under should but that doesnt discourage the team from lanelle. They hold regular training workshops mainly for young entrepreneurs and Co Operatives only dont like this machine that makes the fertilizer is not cheap at around 990 euros, but it is efficient ya. Until now, the participants only knew traditional composting of except for myself. So with this training, we realized that it could create great value, and that we could produce mushrooms or other products on an industrial scale machine. And just this results in an entire value chain from the women who handle the cassava residue to the farmers and entrepreneurs. And last but not least, its good for the environment. Turned in waste into energy that seems like a very says the will use of readily available resources. Thats all weve got time for to day. Thanks. We joining us and do come back again next week until then. I am crystal, im signing off from logan states, nigeria. So long crease. See you next time and all of you of dealers.
