Our Wild World

Are conserving wildlife and protecting animals the same thing? My guest today, award winning environmental reporter, Glen Martin, guides us as this question applies to Africa's mega fauna. Conservation planning of large landscapes and species survival includes the cascades of biodiversity that depend upon them. Animal rights, animal activists, and animal welfare consider each individual life as critical, and that none should die because of us. Animal rights restrictions present a challenging paradox for making long-term species survival and large landscape conservation, workable. Glen, through one-on-one conversations with legendary figures throughout Africa’s game management history in wildlife rich range states from E Africa to S.West Africa, “Game Changer” vividly demonstrates how our wild world's last great populations of wildlife may well be hostages in the battle between those who love them, and those who would save them.
