Be like in the desert city. Urban centers created on a computer rows of uniform houses all erected in record time plan cities can be found around the world the modern prototype is brazils capital brasilia built on a towering plateau it was the late one nine hundred fifty s. Architectural megaproject. Sedona sent petersburg and manhattan all also conceived on a drawing board and now its egypts turn. Its fifty kilometers from cairos eastern edge through sandy deserts and blistering heat. On the horizon is the silhouette of a new mosque its egypts biggest with four massive minarets and a huge dome a gigantic building at the entrance to the new capital a city of soup. Privative. Apartment blocks for up to six Million People appear as if from nowhere investors sense big money. Mohamed comics and his companions want to invest a sizeable sum in the town houses villas and Office Buildings out on the desert sand. Not far away the new church the biggest in the middle east their tour of the new capital leaves them stunned. That. This is a really huge project. Its enormous very very big. Big smart clean and free of traffic jams the new capital is expected to cost forty billion euros. Going up at its heart the new parliament the president ial palace thirty six ministries and embassies the government is supposed to begin moving and next year. Its clear the project is bigger than we could have a measures there its hard to comprehend the dimensions of this place that. Its everything the old capital city is not home to nearly twenty million inhabitants cairo is bursting at the seams it has gigantic traffic jams small chaos and infrastructure there is crumbling not to mention the high unemployment millions of people without hope live in the grimy megacity. Party is one of them to live he collects plastic bottles at this garbage dump. The twenty eight year old firms about three year olds a day just barely enough to survive. The one of the summer and for the start of course this work isnt good for my health but who else is supposed to feed my family i have to do something. Karim lives in s. But. A slum in the middle of cairo. They call the quarter the peoples republic of china because its hopelessly overpopulated and dilapidated. Houses here are practically all in need of repair the sewage system doesnt work right and the air is polluted he pays twenty euros a month here for two rooms a kitchen and a bathroom it may be cheap but its also a very basic. Theres just enough money left over for a single warm meal a day. But not enough to educate his children and their future prospects look bleak. Theyre going to be going to climb you know i would be very nice if we could move away from here find a cleaner. Cleaner than here at least a job a school for the kids because theres nothing here. But what to do with the people in cairo slums. Another new settlement on the citys eastern outskirts is one of the governments answers to this burning issue in just eighteen months it sprung up from nothing. The buildings everywhere in the development have the same design and layout. There are apartments here for about ten thousand of the citys poorest families the housing blocks have names like jewel jasmine or paradise. And there are three Elementary Schools and two supermarkets but otherwise there are a few shops and few jobs. Mohamed asyut and his family moved here from central cairo in july his house was torn down to make way for a sleek new one. The government offered him a cheap apartment and asmara it now like most other people here he has a big mortgage to pay off over the next thirty years mohammad gave up his job as a cashier the trip to his Old Neighborhood takes an hour and a half. Now he just works occasionally here in asmara painting houses and we were in the center of town and now were in a suburb and it certainly makes a huge difference whether you live on the riverside or in the desert. The new apartment may be clean and modern but for mohammeds extended family its awfully small they werent allowed to bring their own furniture the new decor is more subdued. You dont have shot i used to sit with my friends in cafes around the corner and they dont have that here in a few people have to fend for themselves and if i want to watch a soccer game in a cafe i have to leave the district or. The new capital with all its prestigious mega projects may turn investors like Mohamed Camus fantastic returns but will it also benefit kairos poorest residents in the long term. I dont think that there are apartments for people on a limited budget here in the new capital. But we are helping these people by rebuilding their houses they dont like to move out of the neighborhoods where they live and grow up you. And see that with us in iraq. Mohamed would certainly rather have stayed in the inner city minor renovation work in his old home would have been enough for him but the government wants to tear it down and rebuild and many people will end up paying a price for it. And wide around a billion people donate their time to volunteer work. Like the red cross and greenpeace would be lost without it volunteers are also indispensable when it comes to rebuilding regions in the wake of natural disasters. A year ago Hurricane Maria devastated the small island of bimini county volunteers from around the world to helping heal the wounds. It said that if Christopher Columbus were to return to the caribbean the one island hed still recognize would be dominique. Its unspoiled landscape thanks to an environmentally friendly approach to tourism has given dominique of the name the nature island. A restful place them not for these women. Their day begins at five thirty in the morning. Yeah. Matty simmons a student from britain is spending have occasion with a group of international volunteers. Because honestly. Its often quite this is. A little over an hour later taylor from the us is considered the groups late riser. Should be aware that. This year the twenty volunteers are helping rebuild a Daycare Center and a Primary School destroyed by Hurricane Maria in september twenty seventh seen driven by warm ocean waters the Tropical Storm left devastation behind here. For domenico it seems a terrible irony that the island that has been so committed to sustainability was hit so hard by Climate Change. Reconstruction has been slow helping hands a needed but no fee in pay boosh volunteers and locals here all working eight hours a day six days a week building is coming along quickly. The start for work would start. Earlier. This year didnt really got going. On there was no help coming from the ranks along here really do we thank governor george. Doing work like this the prospective engineers pensioners and english teachers like taylor learn a lot about construction so member and things like. That he has but if you could show you know no minor injuries a par for the course mattie paid for her own plane ticket but other costs are covered. I have the option to right now my life you have to help the people say its a nice youll have to do tonight im spending my time the idea is when i go to school thats going to have a Lasting Impact on spillage. Honest injun lives next door unexpectedly shes become a cook for the hungry crew your boss puts out except thats what these. Allison learned how to cook from her own whos also helping out there doing their best for the group. A voluntary m. Is something that you choose the wheel that you have that it was common to help like on the way to already did not quite the way it feels as you know. The reins are starting and this years Hurricane Season is fast approaching sorrow warner is another volunteer. A psychologist from jamaica spending her three weeks of holiday treating people here for trauma she says they dont just need new roofs their psyches also need to heal. Your. Own you know. I was believe that we all see resources and i just feel like certain circumstances may force you to keep going even though you may feel devastated right after a hurricane after an earthquake allowing some spaces for that gives you. The women and girls start out shy and skeptical but slowly they start to open up and find room to express their feelings oh oh oh i know you. Are old i. Really. Do mean a few. Just a few metres away theres a five hundred year old tree that withstood the storm sara sees it as an allegory of strength the ability to reach down to your own roots but in fact it was. You it feels the need strong you know sees us charity but i feel like there is a reason that ive studied what i studied and its that i feel like theres something that i had to offer was it. Was the last hammer has driven in the last name. The construction site time to clean up for tomorrow another long but satisfying day of volunteer work on dominica draws to a close. I think thats something that of. Trying to. Find a job like this with you in spite of the. Negative effects that have inspired. A better world thats a dream shared by many in africa to share is where the main migrant sat of nigeria and west africa meet a gateway for many people hoping to start a new life in europe. And until recently migration provided illegal Business Opportunities for many in the asiana. Since the botched operation left bashir ahmad unable to walk properly hes been devoting most of his time to his Football Club the star agadez he used to earn his living by transporting hundreds of migrants across the desert he was one of the local bosses. But now people smuggling has been outlawed nowadays bush is interested in getting young men to join his Football Team. Able to deal. With. The rebels north through the desert are much too dangerous now. Try to persuade the boys to stay here maybe that will mean our team or get promoted to the first division. Currently the club is just about breaking even says bashir he pays their modest wages from his savings or on occasion from transfer revenue there are six migrants in bashir squad but despite his efforts not all planned to stay jeremy from nigeria has his heart set on europe he dreams of becoming a professional footballer in italy. Thousand and seven. So. When i when i finished when i got myself. In the past agadez would have been the ideal jumping off point for the trek across the desert the city was long a hub for migrants heading for europe migration was big business thousands here and their livelihoods from it bashir has also made his fair share but those days are over he says now unemployment is becoming a problem and he blames the European Union. Is responsible. Did pressure the government of nigeria to introduce an anti people smuggling law in twenty fifteen. Europe has to answer for all of the people who were abandoned or died in the desert. Since the law was passed the authorities have arrested dozens of drivers and impounded their vehicles basheer tells us many people smugglers now risk more dangerous routes to dodge the checkpoints he introduces us to someone whos still in business. And in the going and we no longer take the official roads. We have lots of other routes that avoid the patrols and the military on. The journey to the mediterranean coast is hellish enough as it is many fail to make it through the desert whether in the share in algeria or in libya there are abandoned abused kidnapped those who do survive often end up here in an immigrant Transit Center in and get a. Yes. When the young men spot the t. V. Cameras they flock around us wanting to show us videos of what theyve been through more just a little. Bit and they judge a. New. Jury and sent us back to new geragos when we were in the desert they robbed us of everything we had our money our cell phones even our water we had to walk for kilometers they treat us black people like animals. Political activist abraham Mansour Diallo is the head of radio so hard and i get tears as best he can he tries to document whats going on out in the desert and writes disturbing reports his information comes from staff in the field ibrahim also blames the e. U. And them in europe is funding this blatant disregard of human rights the murdering the rapes the slave trade as weve seen in libya and we need the e. U. Envoy to nisha and the capital niamey he rejects the accusations. With very European Union to avoid this people dying in victims of the traffic people smugglers have repeatedly been accused of brutality that she denies that was true in his case even if the work has provided him with a certain degree of prosperity a t. V. Now stands where migrants used to sleep but he says that he did everything by the book before the people smuggling law banned the activity. And. We registered with the authorities. We got official papers for the route or. We were even accompanied by soldiers as far as the libyan border. To boost the economy and i get. Uncreate alternative employment the e. U. Is now funding such things as Start Capital for new ventures launched by former people smugglers. Bashir has received some money to set up a small restaurant but many havent received any support yet. Says its too little and possibly too late but hes relying on the restaurant to be a success who knows whether his Football Team with ever turn a profit. And now its time for global ideas this week we had to mexico the country has been dogged by poor rainfall in recent years creating huge problems for local biodiversity reports alexa my advisor to the says maya tropical forests didnt collect money where scientists are working to get a handle on the effects of Climate Change and. Night fall and its the hour of the bat two million of them fly out of their caves at dusk hunting for food and water but thats becoming more difficult by the year the same is true for many of the other animals that inhabit the us including spider monkeys. The ten million had tropical rain forest stretches across three countries at least. At mexico the seven hundred twenty three thousand hectare Biosphere Reserve is part of it. And in the middle of the reserve is the mayan archaeological site of the same name one of the largest sites in mexico. But the rain forest is critically threatened. Weve had to cope with less and less rainfall for a while now. And that means theres too little water in the watering holes so the you know the malls have less to drink. The drought began back in twenty fifteen. Twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen were the driest years ever recorded and records go back fifty years maybe. This watering hole in the middle of the collage Biosphere Reserve still provides the vital resource. Researcher raphael rina has set up motion triggered cameras at ten sites like this. Well so that there is a hose into the camera. He wants to know exactly which animals whether bird species tap ears or jaguars come to drink and how often and how their numbers change from year to year. What can you do. If your. There are only four hundred fifty jaguars left here theyve been the species many endangered species depend on these watering holes which are impermanence and unpredictable. You know somebody thats human some years their fault and others they dry up and. Every time we investigate its clear how important they are for wild threatened animals because they believe the rainbow has the support of the g i c a German Development agency. G i c provides cross border financing of various hmong term studies and coordinates projects and guatemala belize and mexico but. Data has to be made more freely available including across borders and thats where we have a lot of potential to effect change with our project being. The goal providing cross border Biodiversity Conservation and the silva maya in mexico the g. I. C. Has equipped park rangers with Digital Smart technology the Software Works even in the most remote areas. Where like you. Today the rangers have discovered an area in the woods that has been burned illegally they can send pictures of it directly to a database. But i used to take a long time before we could pass on the information at the end of a five day patrol so now things are totally different we can record the information in two minutes at the location weve already examined which legal activities we found. At the well just be watchful and observing what happens in the forest thats something youngsters can do to in their free time and seventeen girls and boys from the village of monk are learning how to recognise and categorize birds. G. I. C. Supports the training of groups like this and supplies binoculars and field guides on days like these the group is out for several hours they have to be very patient its pretty rare to actually see the rain forests dazzling birds. And the. But sometimes they do get lucky and catch sight of a two cam or parrot. Apart from learning that the birds contribute to plant diversity and keep pests and the idea behind this project is that the children will later become ornithologists or biologists. And its important to protect the birds and the environment. Cloudy on lopez records which of the approximately three hundred fifty species of bird the schoolchildren have seen on their field trips in an International Database called the bird. The platform helps clarify where in the world which species exist and how often theyre spotted. And most importantly where they are under threat. For more than a moment. The. Researchers like rafael raina have grown increasingly worried that larger tracts in the Biosphere Reserve will soon be cleared for farming and theres always the looming threat of Climate Change still his work has already had an effect. And i would rather not i want it other than a fall because we keep talking about the watering holes and the animals the people are slowly growing more aware of the problems but i would have to ask themselves for example how they could more effectively use Water Resources and preserve them in the book or lapis i believe that we are helping change perceptions among locals researchers and decision makers. And their work has drawn attention the government now wants to set up a new protected area and efforts are underway to help animals get through the drought with additional watering holes the first steps towards retaining biodiversity and the silva maya.
