The African manatee is an elusive marine mammal inhabiting the Atlantic coastal waters of 21 African countries from Mauritania to Angola and whose population is unknown. Cameroon's foremost manatee expert, Dr Aristide Kamla, had never heard of what's considered the elephant's closest relative when he started university; he couldn't swim and he wanted to be a doctor. In this episode, Kate Humble and Edward Whitley hear from the Fulbright scholar about how local fishing communities became Aristide's teachers in how to find the mysterious species which is now his life's passion. And in a masterclass in how to restore harmony between people and wildlife, he persuaded them to become chief advocates for the manatee; from fighting invasive species with him on Lake Ossa to recording thousands of sightings of marine species on Siren, Aristide's citizen science app which is rapidly expanding across Africa.
