African Wildlife Foundation is proud to bring you Season 2 of Africa Forward, a podcast hosted by Carol Pineau and produced by FP Studios. The second season explores green infrastructure, Africa’s tremendous biodiversity, and how African-led conservation may not only help save endangered species but also the planet. The show will also challenge the Western model of conservation. That system, which was started under colonialism, protected nature by walling it off from people. It made it so that Africans, who for millennia had co-existed – and protected nature – could no longer access their own traditional lands Get ready for a tour of the continent, seeing how African-led conservation is changing the way Africa sees its biodiversity, not just protecting it, but sustainably using it to create a biodiversity economy that can be a driver of social and economic development.
