A little and in Lagos Nigeria. Things looking in uganda right now high near to simulate picture here for example ever since the government imposed on lockdown equally felt the impact with no tourists coming through the research insufficient Funds Available to buy food and a medication to cater for the young he was without so much noise being affected by cold with 19 but we are glad that you could join us on this new episode of africa i am sondra to nobody here in kampala uganda and heres what is coming up shortly. We know how the core numberous of things humans but what about other primates we visit on chimps sanctuary here in uganda to find out in kenya well hear about a project a bit and i was not closed and im leaving grazing butterflies and in ghana well meet a group of young activists read a mission saving the a forest. Lets talk always show right in uganda we are only too aware that the cold did in 1000 pandemic causes spread like wildfire all across the globe ont he tells affected nearly every aspect of our lives so wouldnt it stand to reason that this aggressive virus also poses a greater risk to our closest causing the chimpanzees conservationists think it does and that is why one chimp sumptuary is taking every precaution possible to protect the endangered eps. Before boarding the boats of the shows of the mainland just eric linda is careful to disinfect the skin and clothing for overseas the well being of chimps in uganda is known by now and in lake victoria. It will and that is a constant for the history celebrity. With colorful bit about. Crime is that apes. And also very 4 letter word for. Viruses of all in the past. The Chimpanzee Trust provides a safe haven for 50 chimpanzees in the 95 acre island. Most to blame of victims of illegal wildlife trade and human wide life conflicts these days because of covert 90 day stuff here in highlight food from the mainland is even more strictly controlled the news you. For example does up with you by the time it just off the top going from the farm to the truck driver to the market will also then pull our supply off so by that i mean that the good thing we dont know whats underneath them was has come from full well very careful about its all the food we get we disinfected. Genetics type the system its that chimps and humans share name to us into their d. N. A. And. So not surprisingly the of so susceptible to many of the same diseases. And while the as it being the case of corbin maine teen reported among the chimpanzees so far just short of a coon to on the victory merry team at taking no chances on it it did this is a distant past i wanted to because if i was. Given to this excuse and that another care. Then they might have his chance and if they see anything that they notice that was in a number in this chain then they would report that and theyre here for many as 2 hours to well come to visit and even spend a night and the number i learned. That also changed because of the recent when they make these theres a cowardly bod from the island to be tough for the animals but the loss of income is obviously a negative impact on the trusts conservation efforts the income we what i knew from tourism was going a long way in feeding the chickens and also taking care of the stuff and paying them and now were not able to do that so long we are already topping into our resolves and were worried of course a little bit confront that about how long we can keep this going or how long this crisis is going to go for us as resources dwindle they team are looking to go for a solution despite their fiction and dedication to the primates knows it would be difficult but they cant give us to steal and if you guys they shouldnt goes bankrupt so this one cause for high level of commitment and indications so we are not thrilled when they can give us ground up for africa people who are that it can lead to this kind of war so our presence as for the titans is important from the time i made that announcement that theyre shutting down i loved robin counseling the stuff on the one of them but youre sure that they could pad for an inevitable but dont because now theyre walking 20 days such as. For 20 days out of the away for 5 years. Chimpanzees i can see that endangered the Chimpanzee Trusts effort to help save the species from extinction i like to be funded by donations from around the wilds that is supplemented by income generated by 2 ice visits but now that the island has been shut down due to the pandemic whew. Theyre not sure how much longer it will be able to continue doing a one to. 10 times for the positive or negative toria the repercussions of the corporate and i think crime being felt everywhere. Capito. More Death Threats with professor christopher god. Thats right sandra and this professor is an environmental scientist with an area of expertise in Environmental Health with a whopping 1000. 00 pandemic on everybodys mind and that was also the focus of the eye discussion in particular. On the environment in both the short term on the long term. As the traffic is reduced and could get through production has been decreased they missions that will be ok will automatically we reduce but this is true for the short term the fact is that when Industries Come back on line the likelihood is that theyre going to speed up production to make up for that got. To go so its going to be a gap in the production of such actions which they have to catch up there are. Many of the cheaper forms of. The most polluting. And you find that as to destry use a struct back up to get can be cashed. So they need to use those cheaper associates of. Energy as much as possible to at least break even. We encroach on forests on farms she serves encroaching into wetlands and so forth and all of this brings us into close contact with wild animals you know the transmission of these. Zoonosis these pathogens viruses and so forth from a most like bats to humans is going to be more probable. I think to have. Engagement. We need to have other people involved we need environmental scientists we need zoologists because you know got that current thinking is that the disease spread from a wild animal to mock and to suspect him back about. But just as we have. These or not exist moving from animal to mind goes south disease that can move from man to animal. You need a zoologist to know where would that animal girl goes then thats a potential spread of infection dynamos unfortunately they dont carry mobile phones so they cannot be traced that way you need to do the actual study and. We need to prepare because there will be another just corner type virus whether its 3 s. Time or 5 years time or 10 years theyll be another one we need to know more about environments what is happening around us we need to understand the implications of Climate Change and how that influences all these other factors so wed do the right thing right from the beginning. Theres a lot of knowledge with our. Traditional. Custodians of knowledge i did just going to turn this knowledge knowledge stops is we are losing day by day which is not documented we have to use that knowledge combined with the morton approach. There are many ways that we can do this but we need to start thinking positive planning for the future because if we are always in that reactive mode. This crisis. Hopefully the people in charge here in africa will also take appropriate action from ghana we now head to egypt on this weeks doing your bit with a couple of guys who have found a way to recycle a valuable material by turning them into something you could call monumental. A majestic figure that stands 6 meters tall. Its a statue of the the engineer gyptian goddess of protection and katz. This rendition is unique its made from 3000 pieces of scrap metal. It took. A month to welcome together through derangement gyptian its believed the feeling definity protected the home from the evil spirits and disease. The contemporary sculptor admires his ancestors connection to nature. I like that they were respectful of animals and the world around them i specifically chose a material that is environmentally friendly and long lasting which was their specialty raising to have.

These women are feeding caterpillars leaves from the forest soon they will end to the people stage the Kenya Wildlife service ensures the butterflies are raised sustainably only 74 species have been approved for farming and some may only be reared at certain times of the year. We go into the forest in groups to collect the butterflies. And when we return home each of us really is pupae on their own.

Just that. Music is one of the ways to get the message across but why the group also does Community Outreach to inform people about the consequences of cutting down trees the effects are clearly visible in this region nearly all rivers have dried up but the only ones to run in is a dire river. Its a lifeline for more than 20 communities farther down the stream but many fail to take into consideration.
