Entertaining show put together just for you starting with a report on housing kenya but thats all. Youll find out how Young Children generate electricity while playing. Check out on urban gardening project in berlin. And see what the government is doing to combat poultry. Is there anyone out there who has not wished they could turn their heads almost all busy the way around like the owls an interesting feature they have sadly in parts of the world out often fall prey to superstition in africa for instance their population has been falling for yes but thats changing now in kenya thanks to local conservationists for movie people are starting to wise up to the front but also serve a useful purpose. Owns a fascinating and secretive but in many parts of africa the are associated with bad luck and that all prosecuted as a result. Conservation is palm read these fighting to protect the bugs he has been monitoring a Small Company of miking those eagle olds in the killer region of Central Kenya is. Pretty dice and farming practices here do still threaten these birds of prey but the numbers are slowly beginning to grow. No idea i have a specific specific number of hours because i have about 16. And of 16 peers that are breeding b. S. The others are just losing sight losing listing. The fields of not being good jeanie and his family are very close to the colony. They also find reach pickings here paul marie the husband shredded local farmers that the birds serve their own interest because alls eat mice and rats the damage crops morry these efforts seem to be paying off. When you are young elders believe that even on craigs i battle something bad will happen but with time this has been disproved for me now when you come here and hear old crying i dont believe that it can cause there or something bad to get you more than cannot be this is an African World all the injured itself and are piling it is being lost but to hold here at rutgers let it be tension trust in the capital nairobi along with many other birds who have heard and like encounters. Basically our main aim with the trust is to rescue and rehabilitate birds of prey mainly but we also take in water birds and basically any small but also a game where the trust is to brace and get as many birds back to the wild where possible those birds that cannot be released for whatever reason basically end up as a surrogate Parent Partner or as an education but. This is no ordinary delivery the airports parcel has been flown in from canyons east cost and hour long plane ride away. Inside a lizard abuzz and with a neck injury. The body is given an injection to prevent infection. This wired 1st all has already been was told to good health along with some recovered patients its waiting to be released back into the wild this is a mixture of. White faces and african wood else so the reason there are so many is basically because a large part of the weather has not been so good for releasing we had a long spell of very very dry conditions which means theres actually nothing out there for these birds to eat releasing them is a pointless pointless exercise at this point. Theyre mocking the eagle all the difficulties porter against iraqi surroundings conservation is palmer really helps visitors identify them until them about the creatures lives 10 hes made it his mission to persuade people that the birds are far from a bad omen but rather a seen 1000. 00 and useful creatures that deserve to be protected. Now another example of having a little information. Knowledge if we want to maintain balance in our ecosystems 3 year average trend in many cities to put more nature back on life one way to do that is by creating one in germany for instance environmentally minded locals are growing vegetables flaws on earth on form a wish light we paid a visit to. Fresh peppermint. And edible flowers. To him a peach cathay specializes in vague include scenery and most of the ingredients come straight from the garden this is one of many urban gardening projects in germany growing food in the city has been a popular trend for some time in berlin for example its brought new life to several neighborhoods. This is a chance. I want to see empty areas put to good ecological use. We want to show people where their food actually comes from here and we also want to show them how this kind of gardening works. This kind of activity brings people together him and peters one of the most recent urban gardening project in berlin. Another project in a birla neighborhood the princess and garden dates back to 2009 back then hundreds of volunteers cleaned up of a concise and set up plan to create. Urban gardens i now find around the world the princess and garden features more than 500 right he said vegetables but theres more to it than just growing progeny used. To mention the city dwellers can try out new things here. Cities are so organized and disciplined that they ought to have open spaces where people can work on projects like this mentioned i think urban gardens have a real role to play open spaces shouldnt just be sawn off. As urban gardens should be part of every city and. The budgetary and dishes served in the cafe all feature locally sourced increasing. Now enjoying Time Outdoors is something everyone enjoys especially the children if only we could come up with a way to harvest all the energy to produce running around not always. Be great. While n. T. Is already being done in this week the doing a bit we see how a merry go round at a Village School and governor like the childrens faces both outside the building. Welcome highlighted zippos Village School in ghana. For the school kids in the Eastern Region its more than just fun. Playing on this merry go round generates electricity. As in many rural areas in ghana this village is not connected to the National Power grid without electricity the children can do their homework at night. Inside the merry go round generators and magnets produce electricity. The unit is connected by a cable to a battery in the School Building the plant was donated by the u. S. Funded n. G. O. S and power playgrounds it didnt take much time to install. The best. He needs 120 minutes to fully charge alarms and which provides about 40 hours of light alarms are then taken home by the students to study in the evening. I was able to study at home only when my parents didnt use the light for their needs. Sit. Now i can study together with other pupils whenever i want. To gather 55 kids have been installed in mali. And how about you. If you are 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 so. Lets move further south to go bomb now the country is home to africas largest forest elephant population yet between 242014 the number of the climbed by a shocking 80 percent elephants in the border region still remain under threat but go bonn is getting the problem under control in more central areas and drop a National Park for example the Wildlife Management has been able to stamp out poaching watch how being locals protect the fields and villages its meant. For and his Anti Poaching Team this is the easy part of the job not far from their station in low pay National Park theyre gathering data on flora and fauna. The family of elephants passed through here they ate here. Ok and then they moved here and left their traces for. The team normally spends up to 14 days in the National Park to collect data and keep an eye out for poachers thanks to the rangers the nature reserve has experienced no major Wildlife Crime in the last 2 years but they say poachers are still active in the National Parks close to the border with the republic of congo most of the poachers are on the lookout for elephants. And if i travel to my coke or with a Public Prosecutor and a poacher threatened us with a gun at this moment he took out the cartridge to show he wasnt bluffing he put it back in i wasnt armed but he was scared of me because i was in my uniform for him to open so he moved backwards saying stop or ill shoot at the time as we still have to move towards him he stepped back and tripped it was so i just stepped aside in case his gun went off by mistake. Let me see because. With a mixture of dense forest and grassland slope is one of 13 National Parks established in cabo in 2002 its a you know asco World Heritage site and home to elephants panthers gorillas buffalo and over 400 bird species these days the elephants pose more of a problem than the poachers do. An important part of the work of the park manager and his team is communicating with the residents of the villages on the edges of the National Park. Well that. Initially there were lots of elephants in the northern zone. But then they started encroaching on built up areas ready. We realized that the elephants were more or less fleeing the interior of the forest because of growing pressure from poachers from the south and southwest so well see just. Shows when dung constantly gets calls about elephants entering the villages for the Park Management dealing with the concerns of the local people is a major priority the elephants destroyed their fields and plantations the basis of their livelihoods. Thanks to fences that the park officials have set up around the villages the elephants are slowly retreating back into the forest. In 3 of the villages electric fences protect the plantations. These fences are inspected on a regular basis and the locals say theyre feeling much safer again. Is that with us weve been going hungry for 2 years people were losing weight there wasnt enough to eat but this year we have enough again we have vegetables weve been able to harvest what we planted to get. The cooperation between the Park Management and local residents is proving successful for the way in dong the fences in these communities have also come as a relief. He felt it was costing a lot of money it takes 46 people to chase away 3 elephants and elephants not a dog its not a sheep that you can push away with elephants you have to be very strict teaching and vigilant visuals the balancing act between protecting the park and helping local sustain their livelihoods calls for careful planning. And he even grew up here like many of the rangers hes confident that humans and wildlife can coexist peacefully. So we do this so that our children can see what we are seeing today today we only read about dinosaurs and books. And then we can just drive animals to extinction kill them without a 2nd thought that would be a big problem. Tomorrow well be back at work in low pay National Park and the rangers and villagers will continue to maintain the fences that can help to ensure their future. According to the World Health Organization around 7000000. 00 people die every year from the effects of pollution and as is too often the case its the poorest who suffer the most they often have no alternative but to burn coal in order to heat and cook some of the worst levels on the planet have been measured here in south africa some 90 percent of the countrys energy comes from coal fired power stations and many of the plants are located in the province there the prospect of clean out more Sustainable Energy generation seems a long way off. This is no place for children to be quiet but musser khan is home to many families its a community located in south africas northeast in the province of mccomb along which is rich in coal reserves the coal fired power station is right next door its a missions pollute the groundwater and they are here. For quite a peeved my daughter here is no longer alive left me a granddaughter. Shes always coughing shes been in hospital repeatedly but she just isnt Getting Better we dont know whats causing it. And im in the c. N. N. Her family were forced to leave their homes and relocate 20 years ago to make way for a coal mine they were never compensated they cant get work at the power station and dont even have electricity despite all the pylons in the area. Electricity is a big question you know thats what you also want to know why are they not providing them with electricity because at the end of the day the pollution off is affecting them also the Mining Companies that are right next door are also affecting them but there is nothing that this comes is getting. The coal fired power station and that sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide while the mines right next door produce toxic effluent and dust greenpeace says the province has the highest levels of nitrogen oxide pollution in the world the power station also uses huge amounts of water in a country where water is in short supply. At the university of johannesburg victor monica has spent years studying the human cost of the environmental pollution from respiratory illnesses and skin rashes to london seas and cancer the annual death toll is shockingly high. Rate calculated to be somewhere in the region of 2200. 00 tribute to all deaths that people who died prematurely that wouldnt have died if they were not. Exposed to call this pollution in the entire province as a patchwork of power stations with 12 huge coal fired facilities south africa still gets 90 percent of its electricity from coal but many big corporations are now selling off their minds to smaller firms as coles reputation continues to worsen. But south africa is continuing to build new coal fired power stations like the massive concealer plant 19 german firms are helping with the construction while the german bank is involved in the financing the facility belongs to the state Power Company nascar we wanted to ask about Environmental Standards filter systems and how much water it will use but eskom declined to speak to us. South africas Environment Ministry is looking to phase out called long term in favor of renewables in the meantime the Ministry Wants german firms and banks to participate not only in building power plants but also in reducing the pollution those plants cause. I think theres to be an improvement if youre going to be investing doing in this is this all on the quid in this could be looking at mitigation of the problems associated with that they have to say. Here at this disused mine local residents bench for leftover coal. Bunky much angle and her daughters only live right. By the t n d b colliery the mine has been officially closed for decades but is still polluting the ground water its a dangerous area parts of the mine are burning underground as a result of spontaneous combustion. Forsman is a Small Community not far from the mine. Residents here suffer from the pollution and also from the uncontrolled explosions inside the mine. Much younger whose daughter was injured in an explosion 3 years ago since then she suffered from epilepsy last year much on who herself was injured in an explosion. In his place like all it was on june 5th i was making lunch for the children at around 130 then i suddenly had this huge explosion. And i hit the ground was not 100 someone jacked me outside then half the house collapsed and a friend took me to the hospital in a local band that will probably not easy since then bunky much angle hasnt been able to move her arm properly but shes received no compensation. Even though they themselves are dependent on coal to cook and heat their homes and winter people in communities like foresman or masa khan will continue to suffer from the impact of the coal industry. While the situation doesnt die at the moment the government is taking steps to produce more and more electricity with Renewable Energy sources the plan is to reduce the amount of Energy Produced by coal to just 20 percent by 2050 from south africa when our heads uganda to visit the concourse slum in the countrys capital kampala despite the poor infrastructure Living Conditions there are improving day by day yesterday on our 1st stop. Which is really is really i mean what a rolling out process they are the idea of constructing a portable building with the help of used wofford bottles this 1st project probably glossaries that is just the beginning. Oh. How many plastic bags does it take to stuff a plastic bottle. Candy has never really counted but its probably between 250 and 300 there are plenty of them strewn about herring camp a slum in camp paula. I use this and. It gets had lots of cars if i get a softball top youve got to make a brick through the plastic bricks these women are making will be used in the construction of a new Office Building for a local initiative called the Ghetto Research lab. The organization was founded by patrick me jussi the train teacher whos lived here for over 10 years part of the idea behind the get a reception lab is to give young people an opportunity to work and participate in local projects and at the same time clean up their environment. The buildings made with the bottle bricks of proving to be quite gyroball. With us it was. Also not developed cracks in the affected. You know. Its not the groups 1st building project here in kemah last year the young people built Public Toilets which he used by hundreds of people every day. Water is available here even for showering which is an improvement over the previous toilets. The construction project had the support of Community Leader herman katz on goalie. He even offered a piece of his own land to build on for free. We are proud of our toilets its one of a kind. Its become an attraction to many people come here to take pictures. So far the initiati
