And secondly Frank Matose, co-director of the Environmental Humanities South Centre at the University of Cape Town.This event is part of our engagement with the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, taking place for the whole of 2026.LinksRangeland Myths (REPAiR Project series)International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists This is a public episode.
