Delving into the Challenges of and Opportunities for Our Planet and Its People
In Beneath the Baobab, award-winning wildlife filmmaker, Gordon Buchanan MBE leads engaging conversations on urgent issues facing communities and wildlife. From exploring community-led conservation in Season One to uncovering the complexities of human-wildlife conflict in Season Two, Gordon’s journey fosters understanding, compassion and connection.
Season Two
On our changing planet, our relationship with some wild species is complicated. With human population growth, habitat loss, climate change, even policy changes, people and wild animals are increasingly sharing space and resources, often resulting in devastating conflict. Ranging from simple fear, to destruction of crops, to loss of livestock, there's not just a threat to livelihoods, but there's a real threat to human lives. But beyond this strife, there are solutions. And there are stories of remarkable, profound connections with wildlife that transcends the conflict. Join us to meet the communities, the families, the people, at the very heart of the matter as we discuss the coexistence challenge.
Season One
In season one we learn about Community Based Natural Resources Management. We hear from Indigenous Peoples who are exercising their rights to do innovative work as custodians of resources for generations. We also find out how they’ve developed work schemes, governance and management systems that allow them to place a high value on wildlife and build the economic case for conservation. The future for wildlife and endangered species can be positive, if we are all prepared to listen. Join Gordon and his guests Beneath the Baobab for stories of hope as well as brilliant, radical and innovative ideas for solving the problems faced by humans and wildlife.
