Uganda we meet some courageous animal lovers who are helping to save the rhino. Rhinos one of the worlds most endangered species in africa only Zimbabwe Kenya and namibia and south africa have reasonably sized populations of them the reason is poachers who it came to profit from their valuable homes they fetch a fortune on the global Black Market Traders get around Sixty Thousand u. S. Dollars per kilo. In uganda their numbers have slowly been increasing in recent years reports how you paid a visit to a privately run sanctuary and met with some committed conservationists. Vests a few. It covers seventy square kilometers and to sponsored by the rhino fund. That is what who is who. Is. So and i think. That. Three rhinos cross our path the drivers getting a little nervous. Which is just. The safest move when you see a rhino is to freeze that it understands you dont represent a threat. Going to them but when its due and. We can continue. About Ninety Rangers work here and you jeanette is in charge shes been running the rhino fund since Two Thousand And Eight but has brought a lot of new staff on board. And the number of animals in the sanctuary has almost doubled under her direction while the situation on the run is a unique guy if for a long time there was a short period maybe men Nine Hundred Seventy nine hundred eighty three rhinos who
are pretty secure and then the poaching spot the problem is it doesnt just spike in one country its parks all over poachers have been killed any animals in the sanctuary the rhino fund has been breeding them have eighteen years now the first was brought in from kenya others from various issues. When out in the bush among the rhinos its important to remain quiet Walkie Talkies can make the rhinos restless the ranges observe the animals behavior during the day and at night documenting where they graze sleep and wonder. The data shared with researchers and zoos all over the world. Martin look hero is more involved with the rhinos than he is with his own family and he sees them twice a year. My second home race there while being my school here is that i want to
and when my family is. Kicking them so im pretty. The rhino fund is financed largely by tourists who come here from around the Globe The Sanctuary is one of the few places they have a chance to see rhinos in a natural habitat. Weve been all over africa Western Africa and Southern Africa and the rhino is the one thing that weve not seen so anyway i would have been looking for the big five we seen the rhino had just defeated us so this looked like the one opportunity to be able to see them. The rhinos the only safe in the sanctuary because so many rangers work at ramit o. P. O. Explains that strategy. I think these we have bred a success were up to date because of the when you get around because we walk hand in hand with the Community Around and for this kind of project to stand fast people
why theyre so important. And you all of you know what is the right of. What writers have on their head. How when to hold. Writers use their home to protect themselves how do they they fight using their home if the enemy comes as their whole and fight do you know that when we started here. People within this area they were like its fine to kill an animal to kill a wild animal it is fine to do anything to their wild cutting trees it was fine for them and when we came to be here it was a big tug of war to get the Grass Root Class and to understand why was she to. Spend a lot of time out on patrol he hopes that one day rhinos will again be able to live free without need of protection it will happen that the writers will go back into
wild in uganda but do we need. Their draft law for that. So we need people very much committed in conservation my dream is to see the rhine is being put back into the National Park and multiplying in numbers in the National Park of uganda. But that will take at least twenty to thirty more years only then will the organization have bred so many southern white rhinos that some can be released from the sanctuary to roam free in ugandas National Parks. According to an International Survey of eye doctors in thirty years half the worlds population will be short sighted that means everything past a certain distance will be out of focus for four point Seven Billion people researches sadly predict that
a billion of them will be almost Blind Shortsightedness can be hereditary but that cant possibly account for the dramatic increase in numbers the condition begins in childhood while the eyes are still developing if you dont practice looking into the distance you can end up short sighted in many countries children spend too little time out of doors and too many hours staring at phones or tablets starting at her very early age this development is particularly acute in countries like singapore south korea china and taiwan. A Dragon Boat Race in taipei an exciting event especially if you can tell whos out in front yet many here can see about this much practically nothing. Some eighty percent of taiwanese children like pinky are severely short sighted by the time they leave school peggys mother only realized this when peggy was twelve years old
she was constantly falling behind in class i think. One day she came home and couldnt read anymore the doctor told me that peggy would need an operation if i didnt do something about it straightaway now i thought. That. Peggy was about to go blind then tragically her father died and her mother couldnt afford Laser Eye Surgery for her daughter and so from their small flat to peggys mother began selling Insurance Policies should then so until the early hours of the Morning Scraping together enough money for a treatment thats become very popular in east asia night lenses. The extra six Contact Lenses reshape the patients cornea while they sleep but theyre only effective if worn every night and peggys mother has to keep buying new ones. In a n. G. s of a its expensive but the eyes are the windows to the soul and if she didnt see
anything the world would be a very dark place and thoughts too i wanted to have light thoughts. You know those are like dancing well i was so scared of going blind. So i know my mother had already prepared me for a donation she got me this high payoff and told me how to wash and folk myself for the tome see when everything eventually went dark a lot of that. Peggy was naki yet cases of sudden blindness as a result of short sightedness becoming ever more common in taiwan then mainly due to the immense pressure of succeeding at school in university and the continued use of old chinese characters is also problematic they take a long time to learn because that complicated and difficult to decipher. Cross collin was a successful i. T. Manager and to just developed
a new Software Program when he woke up one morning looked at his cell phone and couldnt see anything he had a detached retina hit ignored his Short Sightedness For Too Long Con underwent twelve operations without success as she tried to do to the n. F. L. A couple of hours thats when you apply its difficult to do anything serious suicide so often those ironic but then it was to the point that my family made me realize no matter what happened to me but why i came here i can move theyre always going to be there for me thats the love and because of the family bond things that made me realize that perhaps if im settled out here myself that i can tell something that i can still do something for myself and others. Since then hes been charring taiwan schools as a living mourning to others this principal invited him personally she wants to move away from conventional teaching that classes which can be bad for the eyes and
instead of going in and play for less than an. Example i can first describe what its like to wake up and not be able to see. Then he tells the students how best to help a blind person so thats a lesson thats become a fixed part of the timetable. The principal wants to attack the problem head on today two professors are visiting she shows him her students high marks. The professors the hair on behalf of government analyzing study methods a high ranking official sits in the background the passing of one that when you treat your shortsightedness is now a National Security problem for taiwan were struggling to find engineers and soldiers human and if our students cant see then in the end they cant learn anything it could be about that you tube or the study is unequivocal whats needed are fewer teacher led lessons more breaks and more natural light. As all of this is
that you enjoy this you know you think of how and. All recent experiments with chickens and monkeys have clearly shown that regular daylight can reduce myopia in children by thirty percent a year and this is. Something that he said to everyone agrees in the start from two its parents that are the principals biggest problem socially bad they keep telling me that there are no grades for being able to see well its exams they care about they say its more important for their children to do well and those that this is for them to be able to see. Can meanwhile is breaking more to do so by suggesting that children learn less. Every half hour we give our eyes a break for how long. Ten minutes. And how long you have to play outside each day at the very least two hours. Is something that many of our parents would rather not
admit that mr khan is these childrens Ideal Teacher a real person talking from his own experience instead of delivering a conventional lesson that you will be able. Hes a very special person. Here in taiwan we say he fell from the clouds into a deep valley and talked to stars all over again the children understand us and i admire him for his courage in sharing his story with us. What will one pair of. Cans recommendations are immediately put into practice its time to get out of the classroom from now all Afternoon Classes will be held outside. The people here are now learning that the health of their eyes is more important than intense study and good grades. And that this sort of learning can be really fun. For most of those here in any case. The fact is we human beings sit around too much according to a study by the World Health Organization forty two percent of people in germany a couch potatos thats more than the global average in two ways it may apply to as many as sixty seven percent of the population and thats bad for our health too too little exercise can give rise to diabetes heart and circulation disorders and weight problems two point three Million People were overweight in Two Thousand And Sixteen in the small town of iran in northwest spain people are actively tackling the issue. Hard as it may be they set off at seven in the morning. And come last pinero knows only too well just how hard it can be. Thats why the general practitioner or the company says patients on their daily walk twenty to
forty people take part depending on the weather some are overweight others have Heart Problems or diabetes but after three quarters of an hour they all feel great. When my friends are all round like barrels drink too much beer and then its cough and here we come carlos our doctor says move around dont eat so much dont take so many pills thats healthier and im trying to do that. Im a bit of a. It appears you dont want to end up like your friends no i still have some fight me. You need to be pretty optimistic to believe that our cops wait thousands of people to change their lives at first people used to say carlos is crazy but the physicians got neuron moving in this small town in calista in the far northwest corner of spain almost Four Thousand people taking part in this collective exercise young and old healthy and sick and theyve discovered
a new sense of community along the way. As sowing beans is pretty tough work but this group of preschoolers doesnt seem to mind now its time to add a kernel of maize to each bin. And of course everyone knows what maize can also therefore i think raise into popcorn. Worth it well not exactly but thats where lorenzo has in he explains maize cops come first and they grow on planet earth that are about this Big One The Sun and he can show the kids the apples where apple juice comes from. And the children not even allowed to collect the eggs laid by lorenzos chickens the eight year old is one of the many volunteers who have embraced the Health Project he believes children should learn where food comes from. I show them that salad and cabbages are healthy and
completely normal food how can they know if they like something or not if theyve never seen it. Alice some draw has lost nine kilos because shes a veteran of carlos pena as project. Me gal a relative newbie is also here for a weigh in. If you keep up your Twelve Thousand steps every morning then youre on the right path. So everyone who signed up to the project thinks that the most important thing about it is that theyre not alone. And that have they said theres an advantage to doing things together you dont want to look stupid in front of the others so on some days when you really dont feel like getting out of bed you do it anyway what. Ever seen it and if your neighbor takes part two you get this lets do it feeling. One in two adults in spain are overweight and obesity rates have doubled in the last twenty years in
a relatively poor region the development is particularly visible unemployment here is high many people dont get enough Exercise Obesity is frequently linked to poverty. In the response of course everyone is responsible for their own health but it would be a mistake to blame individuals for this disease the problem is more common in particular social backgrounds. Seafood and fish used to be a staple part of the Diet Hearing Alysia today many of these products are fairly expensive meat bread or eggs often end up in people shopping carts instead. Restauranteur diego platter says that doesnt need to be the case that hes making sardines today. Theyre currently in season and he says theyre full of healthy fats and very affordable. Ten restaurants in iran including diegos are
participating in the Health Project. Their mission is to return to atlantic cuisine with simple to prepare food that people can also cook for themselves. And the chefs are happy to tell customers how. This is not sorcery prepares good quality products well and enjoy them whether it takes three minutes or an hour but people dont take the time to cook these days but there must be a lot of you know. At medical and Public Health conferences delegates are being informed about this Health Project that draws on the expertise of chefs retirees and patients researches say whats happening in iran is trailblazing. Their initiative really attempts to engage the whole community youre talking about interacting with almost every Single Member of the city and that really doesnt happen anywhere else. And if you want to work it must be fun to up the line local
schools are taking Sports Teachers say kids should be motivated and not preach to children and getting a chance to try out games and pastimes that their grandparents used to enjoy. Everyone had forgotten about the old games now were playing them again. But if i forget a rule i just asked my grandparents to remind me that the Bad Boys And Girls always play football separately so we can play the old games together and that. Over the next two years the aim is to get up to Twelve Thousand people moving on the project leaders are convinced sell achieve this goal thanks to new ideas and the revival of past traditions together they have taken a big step forwards.
