And with me as always, is michael presenter in nigeria. How are you, chris . Very well, thank you sandra preservation, thats a good word to describe the focus of todays episode. It can be applied to both resources and are amazing animal kingdom. Lets start off with a brief look at whats coming up. Well hear about how ivory coast is tony. Laconic waste into energy, to find out why Wildlife Conservation is about much more than just numbers and see how a solar oven is protected trees in morocco. If you have a special 4 Legged Friend in your life, chances are pretty high. Its a dog. Theyre considered good companions on fuel, the loyal to the onus. Thats why its so interesting that people tend to have the of pose, its impression of wild dogs. Gene them as destructive an unpredictable but they to have something to contribute to the echo systems in which they leave. Thats why conservationist in simple way of fighting hard to protect one especially beautiful species found there. Ah, this pretty pop looks like a peaceful fellow. But these species Bad Reputation has letty it been one of the most endangered in the world. Just 130 african painted dogs live in the hanging National Park in north west zimbabwe. Here most people only view the animals as a threats to the cattle and otherwise useless. A local and you is working to change that perception jam up near the landline would leave you listen for those to see about when he did. He, david cover. Walker is a team. If you have to pay the docks in an ecosystem, it means that your pray base is good. If you have a good pray base, it also means you know, it means your, your, your, your, your, your, your produces, you know, your grass or trees and stuff. It means that there is something that the prey can fiddle. So once you find the docs in the system, it shows that theres enough space and theres enough, ah, wildlife in the spin assist him. The biggest threats to the wild dogs are trump set my poachers to d. Cover walk as anti poaching unit is on one of its daily patrols around one good National Park to remove snares. 17 ranges from surrounding communities make up this t, though the major targets of these traps are small animals perceived for the amine painted dogs frequently get entangled in them over there known to cover great distances in the wild as the hunt you the rangers work would be insufficient without the support of local residents. Once a month cover walker pays the visits to the my Bali Community where he meets with a village leader. They discussed their mutual efforts, knowing that collaboration is king to their success. 200. 00 members of the community have organized a voluntary Service Scheme to protect the wild dogs. Its an undertaking for future generations senior does Work Together in the clear or live nails in re keep the dog safe. If we dont look after them, i t, the wound, the kid, no more, i go on boy young that you do not know what a dog eat. In the past 2 decades, over 30000 snares have been relieved through such cooperation between painted da, conservation, and community. But to make an even greater difference, the factors that often push people into poaching in the 1st reef need to be addressed. Here at the eager yona arts and crafts center, collected wire snares find new life in the hands of over 30 artists who are employed to make different artifacts. Mainly for the european markets, a 3rd of the profits around 50000. 00 a year goes to the artisans. The rest supports other conservation efforts for the painted dogs. We making any must true at so we can look up our parents who can look up our friends who can look after our children, saw that they go to school, they go to wiggs and then they make it a living. They improving livelihood is essential for conservation efforts. What so his education, pinta dog conservation is to the hosting a class from one of the 21 schools in hawaii for a week on program called eager yana boucher. Its an opportunity for kids around the age of 11 to learn more about the printer, dogs, and the environment. And what i would do is legitimate of an opportunity that is otherwise limited as part of the camps activities. David cova walker is given the children a tour of the n jules rehabilitation center. Injured dogs are nursed back to health here and then released over 80, have already been rehabilitated and sent back into the wild. Dead ganganey ever, yvonne by enamel. I have learned that when painted dogs are in the wild, they mostly hunt down weaker or diseased animals. Again, im not going on if they become extinct. So there will be a lot of spread of disease among animals, which will see them dying. Nazena says guys that old glass as the sci fi all the efforts going on here a has in a meaningful impact, but there is still a need for longer term measures to prevent species like the african painter dog from dying out. The zimbabwe parks and Wildlife Authority has been collaborating with painted or conservation and local communities. It believes solutions do exist and his work into implementing them the long term solution. In some cases we move animals where theyre more populated, to where theyre less populated. Thats thats, thats one sure way of dealing with that problem. And also we have been working with other Government Departments to discourage settlements within the animal corridors expanding into protected areas, while more still needs to be done to protect the painted dog. Progress has been made here, thanks to people coming together with an i to the future as much as the present. White glove protection and preservation is a pretty complex subject. And it takes a lot of planning patience, an evil good fortune to keep things balanced. And there are a whole host of outside factors that come into play the economic interest of industry, local agriculture, and human safety, to name just a few. Were going to review some of the Success Stories and describe some of the problems faced st certain species and conservationist hickles this place home, some of its residents, we already know, but many other plants and animals are yet to be discovered. Humans have only studied a small fraction of the estimated 8000000. 00 species that exist. 1000000. 00 of them are at risk of extinction. Are the main reasons are disappearing, habitats pollution. Patching and Climate Change species are dying out at a rate and scale never seen before. Its dangerous for ecosystems and therefore for us humans too. But how successful are retents to stop this mass loss of life . Lets take a look at zeus some see themselves as conservationists, and many animals that live that are endangered species or no longer exist in the wild a tool like push of our skis horses. They were bred in captivity and re introduced to their former home of mongolia. Todays wild population of a few 100 descends from just 12 animals. And yet genetically, they are surprisingly diverse, said as a good chance that this species will survive long time. But these Success Stories a few and far between animal conservationists estimate the only 20 species have been saved by zeus. Sh. Then. Thereon rescue centers on sumatra. In indonesia, there are an estimated 14000. 00 durango times left at the beginning of the last century, there were about 6 times. As many of the great apes have disappeared along with rain forests which have been cleared for palm oil plantations. Many baby rang tangs have been captured and kept as pets in the Jungle School they learned to survive in what few protected rain forests there were left. So far, nearly 200. 00 animals have been rescued and re introduced into the wild hare species can also be protected through regulation. Fish numbers are decreasing in our oceans. Small boats operating along coastlines report catching fall, few fish, pollution and over fishing of the main reasons. Fishing quote is, are an attempt to give endangered species time to reproduce. And sustainable methods such as nets with mesh large enough to spare, smaller fish are intended to protect stalks around 30 percent of vegetable fish. Species are over fished and 60 percent are on the brink. One of the biggest problems here is that conservation agreements are not adequately enforced, and that leads us to the role of protected areas. Todays about 15 percent of the worlds land area is protected. This has, among other things, helped to save elephants that are hunted for ivory and whose populations have been decimated. Ranges here trying to protect them against poachers. Other animals are also safer from human intervention in these reserves. But in some reserves, elephants, for example, have reproduced so much that their numbers have actually become a problem. They require more food and space than there is and destroy trees, fields, and even villages. But mover, theres been been a good one. Possible solution is to increase the size of such reserves and in general, to foster intact ecosystems in which nature regulates itself. Perhaps we humans need to learn to see nature not as something to be exploited, but as something that we are part of. Well, something that will probably never regulate itself can now be found everywhere on earth plastic our plastics. Ive been a boom to manufacturing and production manner. Believe weve passed the tipping point. Yes, crease. This situation is very serious, but people are trying to improve matters. We have seen how companies are turning single use items into longer lusting things like bricks. But businesses are also collecting, cleaning, and recycling other plastic items so that they can be met into the same type of products again, on its report comes from germany, around the world, mountains of rubbish, a piling up. Plastic waste is especially bad for the environment because it doesnt decompose. 1000000. 00 plastic bottles are sold around the world every single minute to produce just one of those bottles. It takes a quarter of a liter of mineral oil, but theres one type of plastic thats cleaner and green up once used. P e t baffles can be crushed and processed into granules, which can then be almost a 100 percent recycled to manufacture new bottles. But how does it work . A recycling company in germany, 400 bales of bottles are delivered here every day. One, bail weighs about 250 kilos and consists of approximately 10000 bottles. It might look like waste, but these bales have their price dies. We whom im hoping this is valuable raw material. So we have to pay for the bail. She decide because they cost roughly 300. 00 to 500. 00 euros per ton. Well put on the 1st step is to release the bottles from the bundle and separate them on a conveyor belts. All of this waste is p e t polyethylene, to rest the late for an obvious reason. As endorse loves, if i have been germany, the consumer pays a deposit when they buy bottles, 0. 12 for a single used bottle of the said. Then if they return the bottle, they get the deposit back all soon by positive you got so here in germany with our deposit and return system has clearly defined standards law because the quality reversed vending machines can be found. In most supermarkets, you insert your bottle and get a 25 cent voucher in return. Germans are reputed to be world champions in recycling, 97 percent of bottles and now recycled here. Other countries dont have anything like the same number of reversed vending machines. So the recycling rate is far lower. The bottles assorted not only by color but also by material. The system recognizes any material that isnt p t for example, labels and garbage bags. In the next step, the bottles a shredded and washed at a temperature of 80 degrees celsius. Then the fragments is stripped of any remaining residue, leaving pure p e t fragments known as p e t flakes. This machine has to scan vast quantities of bottle fragments. A laser scans the pallets a 1000000 times per 2nd, identifying parts that still need to be separated. This is where the machine was developed. Machine manufacture route one is then saw in south germany. The prototype was designed by stephanie cliques, father a physicist with its own calm. The flakes are in this section, the flakes are sent down the channels of and at this level they reach the laser. Eva. The laser focuses on the flake of the flank, absorbs the energy, and then re releases it in the form of rays which re enter the machine and are analyzed by a spectrometer oscar vegetable. The company has already sold over a 100 of these sorting machines, and sales are likely to jump the e. U wants to increase the share of recycled p t in plastic products. Not just in bottles, but products such as yoga pops to your Country Armed mercy. Indeed, all im for title the you as aiming for a recycling quota of 25 percent by 2025. Ive been solomons white house in prizes from cars. He puts and, and theyre aiming for 30 percent by 2030. Its was on the was also 5000. 00 since 2019. Weve been seeing a growing demand for recycling machinery in off harder not my daughters justinas. The p e t. Recycler uses High Pressure to melt down the pre sorted flakes at a temperature of 280 degrees celsius. The process results in these granules. They can then be sold and used to make new bottles, which in turn can be recycled. A number of times, ford could the same process be used to recycle other products we could use of the are the main thing is to have reversed vending machines, which allow us to extract here, plastics. So yes, this process could be used to recycle other types of packaging. Diego bottle recycling is a well functioning system. But if we want to reduce more of the worlds waste mountains, a lot more p e t packaging will have to be recycled. If it is a bit crazy, on the one hand, we have been buried in the mountains of wisdom that we dont even know what to do eve and on the other, we are destroying in tucked equals his scenes that actually contribute to the health of our planet. But on these weeks dont get beat. Well see how a moral can inventor has come up with a way for households to save both time and energy. And it doesnt home the environment, blah. Every year africa loses around 4000000. 00 hectares of forest land. As trees are cut down, chopped up and turned into charcoal, and its an extremely high demand with many people on the continent still kicking over open fires. A practice thats unhealthy, bad for the environment and fuels desertification, muhammad, are half a morocco has come up with a solution, a cooker that does without gas or electricity. His priority was to ensure a simple and lightweight construction and low production costs, making it widely affordable. The os will are cooker Harnesses Energy from the sun. A lens in the cover consolidates the suns rays using them to heat the small cooking area below to 200. 00 degrees celsius and higher. Meanwhile, the pots lid has a special black coating that also stores the solar energy evinced by the person to take a dish with vegetable than me not serving 3 or 4 people in can e, a in the winter, or falls when the sun isnt that high in the sky hold on for if we need 3 or 4 hours until its cooked up though, but of style up, if that time is hammed in the summer. And theres even especially developed apps that works out how long youll need, depending on the recipe. Muhammad, our house cooker has already won him a high profile environmental innovation award. Its currently still only a prototype, but its set to go into production soon, enabling more people to serve up Climate Friendly treats and tell about you. If you are also doing your bit, tell us about it. This is how websites both send us the tweets hash tag doing your best. We shall use stories by now most of us know that a fossil fuels are running low, but did you ever stop to think about what they actually made of put very simply, fossil fuels, basically consist of prehistoric plant matter that has been buried in the us for millions of years. These days we generate so much plant matter or biomass on a daily basis. It makes sense to find ways to convert it into clean Energy Without the weight or loss report, texas to ivory coast, to look at development in the sector there. It looks like plaster, but in fact, this is the residue of the cassava plant. Its fed with enzymes to produce liquid sugar. Once it is fermented, its distilled in this machine, which takes 6 days. The result is bio ethanol for i b, valera, its the fuel of the future yet by our fossil fuels dont offer enough stability. A jewel under marilyn at the price of petrol and diesel goes up and down from 1. 00 day to the next bill. So we dont have any control over the cost of fossil fuels if was in a lower as with organic farming. We can not only measure our product, but what we can also plan for the future that theyre, theyre poorer, muscle. First test drives have already been done. Now hes just waiting for the permit to produce the bio ethanol. Its a known fact that vegetable scraps have lots of potential. They can be turned into fertilizer as well as fuel. Since last year, michelle ari, gaba has been using his own fertilizer, made from organic waste from his village, none debo. It consists a vegetable scraps, animal, dung, and moss. The nutrients benefit his palm oil plantations. Michelle, gaba is happy about the higher yields i liked. I will have 4 and a half tons per hector, up at 4 and a half to 5 tons. Electra but these days with what were doing and with what we see coming, were going to double or even triple the production will be what were going to go beyond 10 tons, let them do this. Here to a device helps a container called a cubicle inside the villagers. Organic waste decomposes for a monro about a 150. 00 kilos of solid fertilizer can be produced from 500. 00 kilos of waste. That saves hundreds of euros a year spent on artificial fertilizer. No more than the inventor of the cubicle box has developed models for liquid and solid fertilizer, as well as one for bio gas for cooking. They can cost between 450. 90 euros for their exam. Do we need Success Stories so that those who are interested but who may have doubts poker level or find me investment a bit costly songs . That will be motivated to take the plunge from sheila buttons. But millions of tons of Raw Materials still go to waste every year. Its a niche market and felix are no actually believes there are still hurdles to overcome if walker to marcy a corner acre, once the market is known and the demand is real and visible, or when people manage to disrupt the market. Okay. Thats when production will begin. Properly, saucers may cut off all fed on blah, ali or booth. But when you know that you have to go and present products to conquer market chair
