Episode notes

This week on The Conservation Conversation…

What happens when we become disconnected from the very nature we’re trying to protect?

As Africa faces a rapidly changing climate, biodiversity loss, pressure on land and water, and growing demands for conservation that works for both people and planet, research has never mattered more.

Tonight, as we count down to the 15th Oppenheimer Research Conference, we ask a bigger question:

Can we conserve what we no longer feel connected to?

Rumbi speaks to Duncan MacFadyen - Head Research and Conservation at Oppenheimer Generations- about people, nature, research, and the future of conservation.
