One night we went down into the valleys and it felt like we were in a scary part of a Harry Potter movie - there were bats flying around and owls calling! ‘Then suddenly, we heard.a whistling sound, We thought it might have been a ghost, but once we gathered the courage to track itdown, we realised it was the supposedly extinct'whistling frog; the Togo slippery frog. It was avery special moment. ‘Wow! And now you've dedicated your life to saving them! ‘Yes! wanted to do conservation work with amphibians, because they're among the world’s most threatened species - and yet nobody in Ghana was researching frogs, so we knew nothing about them! As the only local person on the team, itbecame my responsibilty to ensure they survived, ‘Why was this species introuble? Local people considered the Togo slippery frog as food. ItSbeena part of their diet for 5,000 years, Historically its part of the reason why people settled in the area — it was an easy food source. And the frog lived on land that wasn't protected. How did you combat these problems? I had to find out why people were eating a critically endangered frog, today. Was it possible that they didn’t know it was critically endangered? Did they realise they were destroying the forests and streams that the frogs live in? Once we identified that the issue could be a lack ‘of knowledge and information, we started creating awareness in local ‘communities and got them involved, How do you encourage local people to ‘care about these frogs? InGhana, many people are very rei and they trust information that comes from religious centres. So we go to the Islamic mosques and the Chi churches and we try to int conservation into their religious beliefs, ItS been very successful We did a survey and found that 70% of the people we contacted have now heard of this frog, and 86.5% of them said they won't eat the frog again. “Great news!

He would carry me around the reserve on his back, or we would go ‘ut in his old jeep to watch buffalos and duikers [a type of antelopel. What amazing experiences!

But | realised over time that was impossible, Pi Crcoeees ‘and understood that was also what happens when a creature goes extinct. ‘The species has potential benefits (just like my father had big plans for wildlife conservation) - but none of that can happen when they'e gone. So losing him inspired you? Itelated his death to species extinction, yes. And when I tealised the rate of ‘extinction in some species, Ifelt | was ina race against time. Have you discovered any other frogs? Yes! 've done lots of surveys and found a couple of new species.In fact I discovered ‘one this year that I named after my mother! Haha, brilliant!

What's your hope for the future? My dream s to recreate a world where people are living successfully with wildlife, ike when Ilived in the national parkas child, The local communities inGhana still have some forest left but i's nota perfect situation. Most of the habitat is gone, but fortunately we do still have some large mammals hiding in the valleys. We still have some frogs and. butterflies and a few monkeys, though sadly most have been hunted. My hope is, toprotect and restore that habitat - to ‘create a world where people can walk the tails and hear animal calls, ora monkey might drop something on your head! ‘We hope so, too thanks Caleb!Na AVAXHOME?Se Pe Crue! le ee Re ee er Cea tee ea as Unlimited satisfaction one low price Cheap constant access to piping hot media Protect your downloadings from Big brother Safer, than torrent-trackers 18 years of seamless operation and our users' satisfaction ONT tery 4-3 Brand new content One site CNC Dea elit Mean ol La tte CL} We have everything for all of your needs.

Soot there was a different way to do ti Bey When we want the latest phone or computer, we tend tobin the old one, When our dishwasher breaks, we buy brand-new one, oP) Butthis wasteful approach, known as the linear economy isn't working! We're running out of resources to make new things with, and we're producing too much toxicwaste. In the natural world, there isn’t any rubbish or landfill. Energy is provided by the Sun, one species’ waste is ‘another's food and when things die, their nutrients return to the soil ina cirele of life. Unfortunately, humans do things in a more linear way (see below).

Dr. Persefoni Hilken tells us about Covestro's new environmentally- friendly plastic materi HiPersefonit You're a scientist ata company called Covestro. First up, can you explain to our readers what your job involves? HING KIDS, | workas part of a team that's looking for new ways todevelop environmentally- friendly plastic materials. Ourmain ideais to use carbon dioxide (CO.) in our production processes. This was ‘our dream for many years and it’s finally became realty! Why is using COz such a good thing? Well, to produce plastic materials you normally need erude oll, which isa natural resource. But with our new technology we use COs instead - which is normally considered a waste product. ‘This reduces the amount of crude oll used in the production by up to 20%, Sowe preserve natural resources and tum something that was considered as waste into something useful. Great news! So what do you make fromit? ‘The new material that we've invented is called cardyon’ One of the ‘many things itis sed —_- for flexible foams, which ge are used in mattresses tan also be used to make an adhesive ‘which sin elastic sports floors. ‘ve there other things it may be used forin the future?

Cardyon® contributes tothe circular ‘economy by taking what would have been an industrial waste gas, and turning iinto a new and useful faw material By doing this, we are cycling, reusing and remanufacturing foreduce input and waste! Cool! Waste plastic is stilla big ‘environmental problem. How can we change that in the future? | The fist thing we need tod isto. avoid throwing plastic away - thats the worst thing for a circular ‘economy. Next we need to find ways to make plastic products thatlast longer and we can use ‘many times ~ike LED lightbulbs for ‘example. They last up to 50 times Tonger than conventional bulbs But we need to be able to recycleit too, right?! Yes thats one of the keys tothe circular economy!
