That was no more there but now its here so its makes me do it with me not to read to me a lot so i like walking here i love with and 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 given a Nutritional Supplements known as going to cubes these special pellets i reach in protein implied by which boost the antelopes immune system. The air force seems to be paying more into the kenyan wildlife conservancy. The mountain was nearly extinct in the wilds in kenya and saw a few bones and taken to the us is breeding and in pools up in 4 we received.

This enclosed area at the fort of mount kenya is not just a sanctuary for mountain bungalows knows the rare white zebras and had buffalo also plan protection here from porches and pretend we divide this 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 the conservancy also offers to us to tourists and schoolchildren to get revenues and donations are the main sources of much needed funds in the schools on the Discussion Program is very important was number one because we are trying to create awareness to the future generation about species like the mom to.

Everything going to an advantage more people looking forward to the coming weeks soon 5 new mountain bone will be born increasing the species chance of survival. Were part of a lot of interesting reports about people who practice recycling or up cycling from car to as funny to bugs made of drinking straws and women school or party in a fossil came up with a novel idea you need to take a look at that yes indeed sandra they turn plastic bags into new products will meet with them now in a new episode in our series of doing your bit where we will showcase initiatives of individuals who are really doing something to help the environment.

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. Now for taxing the environment is one thing Economic Activity is another but they dont necessarily have to be in conflict with one another but you know next look at a phony situation in balad where conservationists are warning that the governments plans to turn the idyllic meandering river pripyat into a major commercial waterway ultimately linking the baltic the black sea would be an ecological disaster. This might look like a legendary kayaking excursion but for constantine chick karloff its a protest for the river. This is the 3rd year that the chairman of the bell russian Environmental Organization bogner has organized tours like this one. He wants people to experience the unspoiled nature along the river and to demonstrate against an inland waterway which could be built here. Then asked the company for as the purpose it is like a european version of the amazon river. This place is unique because people can come here and see what rivers used to look like what nature in europe was like once. In africa preserve these large areas of wild nature were also hoping to keep the ecological balance on the european continent by a long cycle you skew. The proposed waterway would cut straight through 11 nature reserves and the activists say it could destroy a unique ecosystem the canal is supposed to connect to the baltic sea and the black sea its roots go through one of the last big wetland areas in europe with rare black older forests. 90 percent of the birds in belarus live here including endangered species some animals nest directly on the untouched banks. This is tall covers 35 kilometers along many narrow wild sections of the river which would have to be dug out to allow commercial traffic. When the group stops for a break they talk to local thats about the plan waterway. Often people in the villages only have limited sources of information because we can be one of those sources for them so that they dont only get information from state media but also hear a different opinion. And we are neutral to be sure that a war because and then they can decide for themselves what they want the rivers infrastructure to develop or do they want to protect the environment around them and keep it healthy of their own car with us they are. Day 2 of the kayaking Campaign Many here are participating for the 1st time during breakfast constantine chalak of shares his concerns about the water way he believes that ballarat should be investing in eco tourism on the river please yet rather than in cargo transport. Dont use a moment on some people dont think about leaving these spots untouched simply leaving them to nature itself. To just sit down peacefully just like this and simply watch to hear the birds singing or watch things slowly changing. The thought of them by your. The activist warns that the construction of the canal could destroy the wetlands here the river bed would have to be deepened to allow big ships to pass thats why constantine chalak of is doing what he can to prevent the prepared from becoming another example of an ambitious economic project with catastrophic consequences for the Natural World as they knew it would be here. I think. There are those who often wonder if school really teaches you what you need to know for the future well there is an in the mantra school not too far from here on the ask it of lagos where the children certainly learned some important lessons about Renewable Energy about Sustainable Living on the earth they do indeed for one thing they think fast on the advantages of solar power because the school generates its own but thats not all and well show you why. We want to hear the sound of what these kids have lots of ideas about what can be done to combat Climate Change burn fuel for still feels ride a bicycle use solar power discussions of this nature are giving high priority at this school who want our children to be problem solvers we want them to be people able to look at the environmentalists do things where you know we School Principal because he is leading by example she runs the abbotts heart school the private elementary institution not far from lagos the principal has had solar panels installed on the roof of the building. Firm was such that we have 3 already out. There. Each of them retired what i felt by right. The. Client abusing. An artery the iffy the best the condition the lights in. The barn without in order classroom. But getting to this point wasnt. A sizable investment required but the school was only able to get a bank loan so part of that money. To absolute make it up with our own custom now finance fees and the school finances so. We have issued the challenge of financing and we also have the challenge of getting. Mom power you know trained to manage our own will understand the setting up of the projects the automation parts of the project and then the main demands also. The students of land that everyone can do thier parts to ease the burden on the environment. Instead of going in for some foods you can use in your book and sources. Like sun up our city are funny when an edgy and i jus march tried our best to save the planet like the car took some things without using the plaid sister called my friend he said she only retards for only 2 days the rest of the disuse will upon those hours all humans should try to do on days where there is little direct sun the abbotts heart school is dependent on reserve solar energy stored in batteries it then has to limit the use of electricity they will turn down the air conditioning all turn of some of the lights but by generating its own clean energy the school is saving money and producing electricity without producing harmful c o 2 emissions we are way behind in my jerry are in. Bringing up creative and innovative ideas of protecting our environment from protecting the future of the nation one of the greatest lessons we have to teach our children in this day and age is how to make them permanently better and safer place the example set by the school is teaching the students the importance of protecting the environment in very practical ways the home is that they will now share their new insights with us. Yes indeed in our sense that European Union faced out and can descend light bulbs amaj a consumption for lighting has dropped 30 percent african countries could do that too what do you think sandra i think that would be a great idea to the Technology Comes from the global north but there are many other ways rich countries can support the global south undoing embarrassment to damage income. So many of the trees have been cut. For the future now i. Plant thousands of new ones. Is the most important material when it comes to making guitars. With its density durable ity and dark color is particularly suitable for bridges and taylor guitars a leading manufacturer of acoustic guitars gets most of its raw material from cameroon one of the worlds biggest suppliers of ebony recently the u. S. Based company committed itself to raising and replanting ebony trees in the congo basin forest of southeastern camera so far its grown 5000 saplings its target is 20000 trees within the coming years Matthew Little of the project manager is responsible for the nursery. Collection of seeds. The germination of the seeds care of the plants and. Cameroon is facing a rapid increase in deforestation the country is set to lose an area of forest around twice the size of gambia by 2035 according to the center for International Forestry research ebony trees which take hundreds of years to mature are disappearing fast cameroons forests are cleared for palm oil cocoa plantations the cameroon based Congo Basin Institute carries out research on ebony and other tree species in the region. The sound of blue leads the ebony project fieldwork hes very aware of the threats that ebony trees face. So. Probably the biggest threat to the survival of ebony is the destruction of forests because ebony is that dense forest trees that thrives in the undergrowth they cant grow in a plantation once the forest is removed the essence is lost it cant regenerate itself in Agricultural Land you go girls. In 2011 taylor guitars became the cohen of this evony saw mill in yellow one day camerons capital. The wood comes directly from the forest to the sawmill where the company processes it to make different parts of guitars and other musical instruments. Only the best wood is used to make the instruments this means that many trees have to be felled and milled to ensure the company gets the quality it once. The firm insists its not interested in green washing trying to buy an environmentally friendly image i think is a wonderful opportunity for us to. Not just use the word that people like to have on their guitars and violins but also a great opportunity to be able to replace that that would replace those trees make. A really responsible exploitation of of ebony the benefits not just the people who buy the guitars or the company that produces them but also the local communities that depend on these forests for their livelihoods. The evony project has teamed up with a cameroon government local villagers and the Congo Basin Institute to ensure a Sustainable Production circle. But there are also plenty of people who criticize the companys initiative. According to val sound of blue there are viable alternatives to the precious black hardwood. This is obviously this is not necessarily the only wood that can be used and other wards are also popular but i think theres actually a very strong aspect of tradition in the end we use ebony to make the guitar because its what the customer wants. With these young ebony trees the Company Wants to insure its own future of course but it also hopes to give at least Something Back to the forest after all thats been taken from that. Getting around and make us fit if theres also another one here is that one can take me literally hour there is the one in tanzania has been growing pot calling all white and if not wont want to fly with me and people just because of the nightmare that if you read what the help of the was bank misspeaking youve been the problem by developing a lot of it one bit but it was operating on a little. There was a time when it could take up to 2 hours for a to get from his home to work in the morning although he lives within the city limits so. He was dependent on the. Mini buses that are the most common means of transport here. Theres a lot of pickpocketing on the many buses because so many people are parked in together they usually fold before you even get on. The other problem is that there are so many traffic jams. So you spend a lot of time just sitting and waiting to move its also exhausting. Heavy traffic on a typical morning here with more than 5000000 inhabitants die the salon is the biggest city in tanzania and its growing rapidly in the next decade the population is expected to belong to 10000000 that poses a huge challenge for transport authorities run of luck atari heads one of the agencies tasked with adapting and improving infrastructure. People were experiencing a look on just. Their infrastructure was also some of it was not very good so many hours were lost. Being on the roads were going to work in the mornings and in the evenings when people would be back for. One solution a bus based Rapid Transit system with a network of dedicated bus lanes that bypass much of the traffic across the city the system so far a stretch is around 21 kilometers and has already cut travel time for some residents in half the 1st phase of the 6 phase project was finished and 2015 when we considered all the options the bus systems appear to be easier we can maintain in our city because all he said nor course was cool train system and we also looked up inclusive it was when you. Bring in a bus system most of the people what wiki that i got out of school be absorbed. Into then you system this system benefits the environment and it was supported by the institute for transportation and Development Policy the Global Organization that advocates Sustainable Transportation before the b r t came into doris long Public Transport Services for vida by heavily polluting mini buses and the b r t was able to replace 3000 vehicles with 140 high capacity buses that all meet a much better emissions standard and it was also able to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions that contribute to the global credit crisis and the new bus system has been a blessing for salim and hes just one of thousands of passengers who have cut up to 50 hours a month from their commute. I used to feel bad because i was getting home so late my kids were p. S. By the time i got home i want to jump on but its so much better now you know i get to spend time with my kids and look over the homework im playing with them a little so its not the market because the rapid bus gets me home so much faster than when. There are still 5 phases to go until the project is complete the network will then cover around 130 kilometers until then some indeed and the other residents. Will have to rely on dollar dollars for at least some of their journeys. What a great project the rocky transit buses will then be kept in late in the cold but 100 in peoples lives in any case and the one thats open today if papa thank you for joining us i do hope you have to go climb those i did i am some good to know you are finding open confinement in uganda and farewell for me to know its a way and not just of the Mission Foundation talk you can stay in touch by visiting our website and on our social media platforms to see them on your screen on to our next show as well by.
