YWP Podcast Season 5 Episode 1 - When the Wild Pushes Back: Returning to a Wounded Kruger

As a new season of the YWP Podcast begins, Gabby returns to the Kruger National Park under very different circumstances.Recent floods have left parts of Kruger damaged, roads washed away, and access limited and this is a powerful reminder that even places we see as timeless are shaped by nature’s force. In this opening episode, Gabby reflects on what it means to move through wild spaces on nature’s terms, drawing from a chaotic teenage camping trip to Pafuri and contrasting it with the reality of returning to a park in recovery.This episode explores resilience, uncertainty, and the uncomfortable questions around conservation, access, privilege, and patience. It asks what it really means to love a place when it is wounded and whether we, as visitors, are willing to slow down and listen.Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-storeIntro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialzaLinks from show:
