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

“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.
