Our Wild World

Wildlife and the environment are the silent victims of any land in turmoil. With my guest Lisa Hywood, The Tikki Hywood Trust, we discuss the plight of the pangolin, and what Zimbabweans and the world, are doing about it. Over the past 15 years, little remains of Zimbabwe untouched by man. Socio–political upheaval, coupled with economic distress have contributed to the plunder and decimation of this natural heritage. Human need and greed has surpassed the capacity of the country to give, resulting in the suffering of both the environment and its inhabitants. As a nation, Zimbabweans need to react quickly and decisively to preserve what’s left. The Tikki Hywood Trust and stakeholders have joined forces to plan and implement solutions and protection of the environment and wildlife via strategic partnership with the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority.
