Episode 13: Tourism and Conservation in the Luangwa Valley with John Coppinger.

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

vendredi 29 janvier 2021 • Durée 19:09

It has been a long time since getting a podcast out there, but here is the first for 2021! This episode is a continuation from the Walk Luangwa 2020 expedition where a small group of us walked 350km through the Luangwa Valley in aid of community and conservation organisations in the Luangwa that had previously relied on tourism bed-levies to be able to continue their operations. During the 17 days it took us we had numerous guests join us for portions of the expedition; from beneficiaries from these organisations, to custodians of the Valley.

John Coppinger is one of those custodians of the Valley whose career spans close on 40 years in tourism in the Luangwa. During our short conversation he gives us a bit of a glimpse into what the Valley once was, and how he sees tourism as having its role in conservation efforts. Previously a commercial pilot before starting guiding in the Luangwa, together with his wife Carol, they created Remote Africa Safaris in the mid-90's.

A few days earlier we had been walking along the Mwaleshi River where Nick Ridden (Remote Africa Safaris Operations Manager) pointed out the bones of the structures that would have been their Mwaleshi Camp. This was the first time in 30 years since being established that their camp was not opening due to the pandemic's impact on tourism.

Episode 12: Inclusive Conservation Solutions with Thandiwe Mweetwa.

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

lundi 30 novembre 2020 • Durée 34:56

“We live in a very dynamic world. We can't be doing the same things we have done for years in the name of staying true to the mission. You know, you move and adapt and change as things present themselves.” Thandiwe Mweetwa, Project Manager, Zambian Carnivore Programme.

It has been a long time, but the podcast is finally back and there are a lot of conversations to share from the last 5 months of remote travel through Zambia. Thank you for your constant support, especially to our Patreon supporters who make this podcast possible.

This week’s conversation is with Thandiwe Mweeta. Thandiwe joined us on the Walk Luangwa expedition on day 12 on behalf of the Zambian Carnivore Programme which was one of the direct beneficiaries for the proceeds that are being raised from the walk.

"Thandiwe is the Project Manager for the Luangwa work and also manages the organisation’s Conservation Education Program. She grew up in Mfuwe and was a former conservation club member. She joined ZCP as an intern in 2009. Thandiwe holds a Master’s degree from the University of Arizona and her thesis focused on lion demographic response to conservation policies in the Luangwa Valley. As a supporter of community-based conservation, Thandiwe is dedicated to exploring effective ways of integrating local communities in wildlife conservation and increasing the representation of women in the field. Her future research interests include human-carnivore interaction in a changing landscape. In 2016, Thandiwe was named a National Geographic Emerging Explorer for her efforts to protect lions in Zambia." (https://bit.ly/3qbrRyw)

Episode 3: COVID-19 & Conservation with Reilly Travers | Imire: Rhino & Wildlife Conservation, Zimbabwe.

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

vendredi 8 mai 2020 • Durée 24:03

"This is our opportunity, as human-beings, to make a difference." - Reilly Travers, Conservancy Manager.

A sector of conservation that is often overlooked is voluntourism- essentially a blend of volunteering and tourism. The value behind voluntourism is to contribute in a selfless and meaningful way, and to give back to the project and the people of the destination that tourists are visiting. Imire has been running a volunteer programme for 14 years, and in that time the operation of the conservancy and its conservation efforts have become dependent on the contribution of resources from international volunteers.

With the impact of COVID-19 on international travel restrictions, the effects are being hard-felt at a project level at Imire as project funding and human resources becomes less.

In this conversation I chat with Reilly Travers who is the Conservancy Manager for Imire: Rhino & Wildlife Conservation who shares some of the effects that the loss in volunteer revenue has caused for their conservation efforts, and what he believes is the future of responsible travel.

Episode 2: COVID-19 & Conservation with Nikita Iyengar | Conservation Lower Zambezi, Zambia.

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

vendredi 1 mai 2020 • Durée 22:53

"The Lower Zambezi community is a very low income community...they are not going to be able to sustain their livelihoods anymore, and so we fear that this is going to lead to a rise in poaching." - Nikita Iyengar, General Manager.

One of the most publicised topics that has been centred around COVID-19 is the effect it has had on the tourism industry. With travel international travel restrictions firmly in place through most countries, the tourism sector is facing a major setback.

Without the tourism most lodges and camps have had to either delay their opening dates, or face not open at all. But what does this mean for organisations that rely on the contributions from international tourism to continue their conservation efforts?

My guest this week is Nikita Iyengar who is the General Manager of Conservation Lower Zambezi in Zambia. She will be talking about the work that they are doing in the Lower Zambezi region, but also what the closure of the camps and lodges means for community members who have become reliant on employment as a primary livelihood income, and how their operations have been restricted without tourism contributions from the operators in the region.

Episode 1: COVID-19 & Conservation with Ed Sayer and Claire Lewis | North Luangwa, Zambia.

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

jeudi 23 avril 2020 • Durée 33:10

Welcome to Conservation Storytelling, with me, Matthew Blair. In the face of COVID-19 the paradigm of conservation is changing. The world has changed. As funding is redirected, and tourism inflow is reduced, the priorities on the ground at a project level remain the same- to protect and conserve our wildlife and our wild places. The size of the task has just gotten bigger. Through this series I aim to increase awareness on issues such as COVID-19 and the impact it has on the conservation world. Whether it be through tourism-led conservation efforts, or volunteer funded conservation. This weeks guests are Ed Sayer and Claire Lewis from the Frankfurt Zoological Society. Ed is the country director and project leader Zambia and the North Luangwa Conservation Programme, and Claire is the Technical Advisor to the North Luangwa Conservation Programme. In this episode, both Ed and Claire share the impact that COVID-19 is already having on donor support, at a project level and where they foresee the real issues coming in the near future. Please consider supporting these conversations to raise awareness of the effects that COVID-19 is having on conservation in Africa. °°This podcast is completely self-funded.

Episode 11: Holistic Management with Allan Savory.

Épisode 11

jeudi 16 juillet 2020 • Durée 47:58

This week’s conversation is with Allan Savory. Allan is a Zimbabwean ecologist, livestock farmer, and president and co-founder of the Savory Institute. He originated holistic management, a systems approach to managing resources. Our discussion takes us through the topics of reductionist management, where is the resolve for climate change going to come from, to the importance of organisations and how they behave. The conversation was recorded over a poor network as I was talking to Allan from his home in Victoria Falls which is quite remote.

Episode 10: The Conservation Games with Luke and Robin Brown

Épisode 10

vendredi 3 juillet 2020 • Durée 37:08

This week my conversation explores new initiatives that surround the conservation sector in Africa. The complexities behind conservation are often misunderstood or completely ignored. How do we encourage an audience that otherwise would not have an interest in some of the issues facing conservation in Africa to start paying attention? By using “sport for conservation” the idea was born to integrate conservation messaging through an online trivia game where famous sports-people from Southern Africa would compete against each other, providing entertainment and important messaging.

Episode 9: "The Achilles Heel of Conservation" in Africa with Merlyn Nomusa Nkomo.

Épisode 9

samedi 27 juin 2020 • Durée 49:26

“The biggest problems about conservation right now is it is not nearly inclusive enough of local people. The same problems existed in Asia, and in India, where the local people feel alienated and excluded. From national parks, from problems that are supposedly needing solutions, they don't, they don't feel the ownership of it...conservation needs to accept that Africa is a landscape and the people of Africa are a part of the landscape. Africa has the most diverse assemblages off of herbivores and carnivores of all continents. And that's for a reason because the people that are living with that wildlife are conservationists.” - Merlyn Nomusa Nkomo, Ornithologist.

Episode 8: Tourism and Conservation with Beks Ndlovu and Katja Quasdorf

Épisode 8

vendredi 12 juin 2020 • Durée 31:06

“...at the end of the day, we all really have a common cause, which is to save the wilderness landscape and alleviate poverty on the outskirts of these wilderness areas...and we're all very passionate people about the wildlife and our communities. We're passionate about tourism.” - Beks Ndlovu, CEO African Bush Camps.

How do tourism operators contribute to conservation efforts? My conversation with Beks Ndlovu of African Bush Camps and Katja Quasdorf of Hideaways explores how tourism funds support conservation initiatives, and assist in the continuation of conservation implementing partners like the Conservation and Wildlife Fund (CWF) in the Hwange region.

African Bush Camps was founded by professional guide Beks Ndlovu, and Katja Quasdorf is one of the founders of Hideaways.

Episode 7: Walking 160km across the Kafue National Park in Zambia with Phil Jeffery.

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

samedi 6 juin 2020 • Durée 34:40

The history of the Kafre National Park in Zambia goes back as far as the 1920’s, long before it was formally declared a National Park. To raise awareness for the park, Phil and his friend Jeff decided to walk 100 miles to commemorate 100 years of the declared park’s existence.

Camping with simple bedrolls in the open and carrying all their supplies for the trek, Phil takes us through some of the experiences of the walk including climbing Kafue’s highest mountain, a hippo crashing through the camp, and the layout and beauty of the Kafue National Park.
