Our Voice 8: Baobabs, Zimbabwe, and the Front Lines

from The Origins Foundation Podcast · host The Origins Foundation

Willy Pabst is an outspoken German who fell under Africa's spell as a young man and decided he needed to make it a part of him. Over the intervening years, he found a property called Sango in the Save Valley in Zimbabwe.  He eventually purchased the property, which has formed one of the most important, iconic examples of hunter-led conservation in the world. Willy joins the Our Voice series to discuss what we do in this era where we actually have TOO MANY elephants and too little habitat. Willie discusses his view from the front lines of that debate - and gives us his unvarnished opinion.
