New Season! After 4 years it is time for a new season and for the first episode we travel to South Africa! I engaged in a profound conversation with Duncan MacFadyen, Head of Research and Conservation at Oppenheimer Generations. Duncan shares his inspiring journey from growing up in South Africa's conservation areas to leading transformative sustainability initiatives across Africa. Discover groundbreaking projects like Malawi’s innovative approach to sustainable fishing, the empowerment of young African scientists through the Jennifer Ward Oppenheimer Research Grant, and pioneering conservation approaches blending wildlife management with community benefit. This episode explores the intersection of science, community engagement, and sustainable economic opportunities, shedding light on how conservation in Africa can coexist harmoniously with development.
