69: Conservation in Africa and life in the bush, with Rosie Miles

🎧 ✨  Conservation in Africa! 🐘 🐆  In the first episode of 2022, Emma travels south (virtually) to find out what it's really like to live in the African bush and work as a conservationist protecting and restoring areas of land in protected national parks.   What does 'rewilding' look like in Malawi? What is the issue with colonialism in conservation? How does the conservation sector differ in the UK from Africa? Rosie Miles has spent the last 10 years as a bush guide and conservationist, specializing in tracking and monitoring predator populations. Plus, she's just published her first book 'Girl of the Wild'!   Pick up a copy of Girl of the Wild here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Girl-Wild-Misadventures-African-Bush/dp/B099BWT2KM/ref=asc_df_B099BWT2KM/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=534971392961&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3296283785065007070&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006476&hvtargid=pla-1432881554804&psc=1&th=1&psc=1   Follow Rosie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/safari_smiles/
