Today's bonus episode is a real treat, because we're going on safari! Whether you've dreamt of spotting the Big Five - lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo - or exploring the more hidden gems of the wild, there's so much to uncover. And what better way to do it than with one of the world's top wildlife filmmakers, making his return to the podcast - it's Gordon Buchanan.A safari is more than just a holiday—it's a journey into nature, where you can see some of the planet's most awe-inspiring animals up close, in their natural habitats. When we think of safaris, some of the most iconic destinations immediately come to mind. There's Kenya's Maasai Mara, famous for its open savannahs and incredible amount of wildlife. It's in Kenya that you can witness one of nature's most jaw-dropping spectacles—the Great Migration, when every year typically between July and October, over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles make a perilous journey from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Mara in Kenya, searching for fresh grazing lands. It's the perfect time to witness dramatic river crossings and heart-stopping predator-prey interactions. In Tanzania, the Serengeti offers a similar view, with endless plains stretching to the horizon, while Botswana's Okavango Delta gives you a different kind of safari experience, with its winding waterways and lush landscapes where you can spot animals like hippos and crocodiles.But as Gordon and I discuss on the episode today, you don't need to go to Africa to enjoy an incredible safari. Sri Lanka's Yala National Park is a fantastic place to see leopards, elephants, and even sloth bears—Gordon has had some great encounters there. In India, you can track the majestic Bengal tiger through dense jungles, and in Madagascar, you'll find unique species like lemurs and chameleons. And don't forget other African countries like Namibia, Zambia, and even beyond to South America's Pantanal in Brazil, where jaguars are the stars of the show.The great thing about safaris is that they can be tailored to all kinds of budgets. In South Africa, for instance, Kruger National Park has everything from luxury lodges to more affordable self-drive options, where you can explore at your own pace. In Kenya, you can choose between high-end tented camps or simpler, yet comfortable lodges. So, whether you're after a five-star experience or a more back-to-nature adventure, there's something out there for everyone.Gordon's here to share his expert tips on where to go and what to see on safari, as well as some unforgettable moments from his travels. Plus, I'm really excited because he's also going to tell us all about his latest project, the fantastic BBC show Big Cats 24-7. Destination Recap:Serengeti Okavango Delta, Botswana Maun, BotswanaYala National Park, Sri Lanka Colombo, Sri Lanka Wild Coast Tented Lodge, Sri Lanka Ellesmere Island, Canadian Arctic Big Cats 24-7 is available to watch on BBC iPlayer now.With thanks to Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club for their support of today's episode.

Steve Backshall viaja a las Maldivas, una zona que enfrenta importantes desafíos debido al cambio climático. El calentamiento de los mares y la acidificación de los océanos han provocado el blanqueamiento de los corales a gran escala, destruyendo el ecosistema circundante. La biodiversidad de los arrecifes proporciona seguridad alimentaria, ingresos y otros beneficios a la población de las Maldivas, y Steve descubre que están trabajando duro para intentar detener la marea de destrucción. También bucea en los arrecifes para observar un grupo de mantarrayas, cuya presencia ofrece un claro indicio de la salud del arrecife. En Islandia, Chris Packham aprende más sobre los efectos del calentamiento global. Las temperaturas en el Ártico están aumentando a más del doble del promedio mundial anual. La nieve y el hielo se están derritiendo a un ritmo cada vez mayor, lo que contribuye al aumento del nivel del mar y es probable que provoque fenómenos de temperatura extrema más allá del Ártico. Como uno de los ocho Estados árticos, Islandia se está viendo dramáticamente afectada por el aumento de las temperaturas, y las vidas y los medios de subsistencia de muchos isleños se ven amenazados. Chris también descubre que el derretimiento del hielo marino está abriendo el Ártico a la navegación. Estos mares son el hogar de muchas especies de ballenas, por lo que Chris se une a un equipo de jóvenes científicos que monitorean el impacto del aumento del transporte comercial sobre las ballenas jorobadas. Al otro lado del mundo, Ella Al-Shamahi visita Camboya, en el sudeste asiático, una zona que experimenta un crecimiento económico creciente. Sin embargo, el crecimiento está ejerciendo una enorme presión sobre los recursos naturales, con ciudades en constante expansión y una sobreexplotación devastadora del mundo natural. El río Mekong es el alma de esta región, pero tramos enteros del mismo están bajo presión. Ella conoce a una comunidad de pescadores que vive en el lago Tonle Sap. El lago solía ofrecer ricas zonas de pesca para las comunidades locales, pero la construcción de muchas represas a lo largo del amplio Mekong ahora amenaza con destruir la biodiversidad de este lago que alguna vez fue abundante. Liz Bonnin viaja a California para conocer los incendios forestales cada vez más invasivos que acaparan los titulares. Los científicos pueden ver vínculos claros entre los incendios, el cambio climático, el aumento de las temperaturas y una prolongada temporada de sequía. Hay un elemento crucial que es clave para un futuro sostenible en California: la biodiversidad. La pérdida de especies clave y grandes carnívoros es una amenaza para los ecosistemas del estado, y conservacionistas y científicos se están movilizando para salvar la vida silvestre de los incendios forestales y tratar sus quemaduras. Liz también visita la costa del Pacífico de California, donde el calentamiento de los mares ha traído consigo un nuevo residente: los grandes tiburones blancos. Dado que cada tiburón consume hasta 18 kilos de presas a la vez, se está estudiando detenidamente el impacto que podrían tener en el ecosistema marino. Ade Adepitan viaja a Kenia para observar los efectos que el aumento de las temperaturas está teniendo en la tierra. Cientos de millones de africanos dependen de las lluvias para cultivar sus alimentos y criar ganado, y la capacidad de adaptación es baja. Ade también visita un proyecto en Kenia que está haciendo todo lo posible para salvaguardar el futuro de su criatura más carismática, el elefante africano. En Brasil, Gordon Buchanan descubre un proyecto pionero que intenta salvar a uno de los depredadores icónicos del Amazonas, el jaguar. Brasil es el país con mayor biodiversidad del mundo y, además de la selva amazónica, alberga uno de los humedales más importantes del mundo, el Pantanal. Esta zona alberga una gran cantidad de jaguares, pero en 2020, los incendios forestales destruyeron el 30 por ciento del Pantanal y mataron a unos 17 millones de animales. Más de una cuarta parte de los jaguares residentes se vieron afectados directamente por estos incendios, debido a la pérdida de hábitat, escasez de alimentos, lesiones y muerte.

In this final episode of the series, presenter Gordon Buchanan heads home to Scotland to see the work that the Beaver Trust is leading to “regenerate the beaver species to regenerate the landscape”.The Beaver Trust is a charity working to restore animals to habitats where they thrived in the past, building climate resilient landscapes across the UK and we speak to Elliot McCandless from the charity. We also chat to Tom, a fifth-generation farmer on the land but with a very different role to his predecessors.Our conversations take place, thousands of miles away from the baobab – but with similar ambitions, challenges and conflicts to navigate.We spoke to both Elliot and Tom alongside the mud banks of a beaver lake, home to the second family of beavers that were brought to Tom's land in February 2022. Translocation and reintroduction of the species in Scotland brings its own controversies with conservationists, farmers, government and local people holding different perspectives on the beaver population as we'll explore in this episode.Whilst this is the last episode of series 2, we will be publishing a special bonus edition of Beneath The Baobab in the coming weeks, bringing together all the key points and fascinating conversations from the last 9 programmes.So please follow, like or subscribe to make sure you don't miss it – and leave a written review if you've enjoyed the series; it'll help more people join us in our global conversation, beneath the baobab.Visit the website https://jammainternational.com to explore more international projects.The video of this episode can be seen here: https://youtu.be/5FOfzoGgy48https://beavertrust.orghttps://beavertrust.org/nature-boost-in-perthshire-as-second-group-of-beavers-moved-to-argaty/https://www.nature.scot Hosted on Acast.

In this second episode, we travel to Namibia and visit the #Gaingu conservancy to explore human wildlife conflict and effective coexistence and mitigation methods. The landscape around the conservancy is flat and arid, in the shadow of the Spitzkoppe mountain with the main wildlife resources being kudu, gemsbok, springbok and leopard. But these species can cause great problems and hardship for local people. In 2020, three herders from the conservancy were attacked by a leopard after attempting to protect one of their goats. The affected farmer received no help for this and although translocation was considered for the leopard and her cubs, nothing was implemented – and the animal continues to return periodically, injuring livestock. We spoke to the victims of the 2020 attack and heard about the challenges of moving livestock to ensure they are fed and watered, whilst protecting them from predators. In conversation with other members of the community, we heard their solutions and how animals can be an asset both financially and in terms of centuries-old coexistence. Neville Hendricks is the Conservancy Manager and in his conversation with Gordon Buchanan, explores the themes of trophy hunting, conservation, and how communities can make decisions for – and benefit from – the wildlife around them. We speak to those on both sides of the conservancy fence, beneath the baobab. Visit the website https://jammainternational.com to explore more international projects.

In episode 155 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Gordon Buchanan. Gordon Buchanan is a Scottish wildlife photographer and filmmaker who has made documentaries for over 20 years. Gordon has made a number of wonderful, intense and thrilling films including: ‘Big Cat Diary', ‘Lost Land of the Volcano', ‘The Bear Family & Me', ‘The Polar Bear Family & Me', ‘Lost Land of The Tiger', ‘Lost Land of The Jaguar', ‘Leopard in the City' and ‘Tribes, Predators and Me'. In this episode we discuss how Gordon broke into the world of wildlife filmmaking, the life-threatening moments he has experienced whilst filming and the mental health impact of being away from his family for periods of time whilst filming. For Gordon's mental health, 10 years ago he had an epiphany about his mental health and realised he had a lot of mental health challenges as a child that he never identified or was aware of. In that year, he was approaching burnout but didn't recognise it before it arrived and it brought about a full-blown period of depression and what he describes as a ‘breakdown of sorts'. When Gordon has gone through these periods, he has used medication to help him get better before coming off of them and he has been on and off medication throughout the last 10 years. We finish by talking about Covid-19 and the reset that gave him for his mental health and his life, how he's achieved a greater level of self-awareness and reconciling people's assumptions about him.

Gordon Buchanan meets two of the pioneers of CBNRM or Community based Natural Resources Management in this episode of Beneath the Baobab.Dr Brian Child and Dr Shylock Muyengwa have teamed up from their homes on other sides of the world for years, conducting fieldwork and research with communities to help develop increasingly sophisticated models and practises for wildlife conservation with people at their heart.Brian's childhood in Zimbabwe inspired a career defending the rights and wellbeing of rural people and today he is Associate Professor at the University of Florida.Shylock has an enormous breadth of experience across Zimbabwe's agriculture, food, security and livelihoods sector. He's Managing Director at the Center for Impact Evaluation and Research Design as well as CBNRM Manager for Resource Africa Southern Africa.Their work together on community governance in reinstating rights through participatory democracies continues to provide new insights for the future of conservation in communities living together with wildlife. They explain how the pioneering CAMPFIRE programme worked to devolve rights for the use, management, disposal of and benefit from wildlife resources and how learnings have been built upon to build modern-day CBNRM. They also discuss the legacy of colonial land practises and laws in contemporary conservation and share ideas for overcoming this.Brian and Shylock discuss the social and practical aspects of this approach but also share details of the governance dashboard they developed with villagers to help them create participatory democracies for decision-making.Visit the website https://jammainternational.com to explore more international projects.https://c4ierd.orghttps://resourceafrica.nethttps://twitter.com/africa_resource Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

For too long a crucial voice has been missing from the international conversation around how to face the biodiversity crisis: the communities and indigenous peoples who live together with wildlife are central to the approaches and success of conservation going forwards.This time Gordon Buchanan's talking with Lesle Jansen to discuss how resource rights are also human rights.Lesle's background working with prison inmates in South Africa post-apartheid sparked a career in international law and her continued work to defend the rights of indigenous communities to use and exploit their own resources.She shares her personal story and fascinating insights into why she believes conservation needs to shift from being militaristic in practise to becoming people-centred and rights-based. Today Lesle is CEO at the Southern Africa office of Resource Africa, a structured consortium of leaders that supports rural African communities in securing their rights and being heard in international debates that materially affect their lives. She also serves on the African Commission's Work Group and has 15 years experience in environmental and social justice, with a special focus on traditional knowledge, local communities and resource rights.Hunting can be a controversial topic. We also hear testimonials gathered by Safari Club International Foundation on the uses of proceeds from a community-managed scheme in Botswana.Visit the website https://jammainternational.com to explore more international projects. https://resourceafrica.nethttps://twitter.com/africa_resource Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Right now, up to 1 eighth of the world's species are at risk of extinction and its down to us to act now or lose them forever.In Beneath the Baobab from Jamma International, wildlife filmmaker Gordon Buchanan hosts cutting-edge conversations about conservation work led by communities around the world.Gordon hears from people living and working alongside wildlife; from elephants to lions, rhinos, wild dogs and endangered plants. [KM1] In each episode Gordon will hear from a unique project that's seen marginalised community voices brought to the forefront of conservation, with inspiring and empowering stories to tell.The global conservation movement has never been more urgent in the face of the climate and biodiversity crises. But there is still much to be learned, and finally the voices, insights and experiences of indigenous peoples and local communities are being heard on the international stage.The places where the natural and human worlds collide are not idealistic, harmonious locations, but often have raw edges, blurred boundaries and are fraught with conflict and competition. Furthermore, the external pressures imposed to protect wildlife don't always support the people whose shoulders this change rests upon.[KM2] That's why we're looking at examples and hearing from people working and living directly with and within those communities. In this series, learn about Community Based Natural Resource Management, hear from the unsung heroes of conservation - indigenous peoples and local communities who are exercising their rights as landscape stewards and custodians of natural resources, protecting and increasing wildlife populations, as they have done for generations. Find out how they've developed work schemes, built governance and management systems that allow them to place a high value on wildlife, and created vibrant wildlife economies that deliver good outcomes for both people and planet. [KM3] The future for wildlife and endangered species can be positive, if we are all prepared to listen.

One of the world's most prominent wildlife filmmakers and presenters, Gordon Buchanan has been filming wild and wonderful creatures in remote areas of the planet for over 30 years, capturing film across every continent apart from Antarctica. His numerous captivating and award-winning wildlife documentaries, from The Cheetah Family and Me and Snow cats and me, to Animals with Cameras and Into the Wild, are ubiquitous on our TV screens, here in the UK. I spoke to Gordon last week, the sound is a little bit echoey - we joked he could say he was talking to us from a cave somewhere in the wilderness but he was actually in his home in Glasgow!And this episode is one of my very favourites - I'm often asked who is the nicest person I've interviewed for the podcast and to be honest all my guests have been truly lovely but Gordon is just so delightful, I'm his new biggest fan. His travel diaries take us from his childhood, growing up on the remote Scottish island of Mull, to his first job in Sierra Leone; close encounters with wolves in the arctic and discovering a new species of giant rat in Papua New Guinea. That and so much more, coming up.Destination Recap:Isle of Mull, ScotlandIsle of Lunga, Treshnish Isles, Scotland Ellesmere Ireland, Canadian Arctic Sierra LeoneSanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai, IndiaGreat Bear Rainforest, BC, CanadaRiver Kelvin, Glasgow, ScotlandLoch Lomond, Scotland Mt Bosavi, Papua New GuineaRussiaYala National Park, Sri LankaAntarcticaGordon will be on tour in January and February 2022.

This week Libby Purves is joined by Gordon Buchanan, Les Persaud, Reece Shearsmith and Vicki Amedume. Gordon has worked as a wildlife cameraman for nearly twenty years, specialising in filming dangerous predators, including tigers and leopards in Bhutan, jaguars in the Amazon, and lions in Africa. In 'The Bear Family and Me' on BBC Two, Gordon spends a year with a family of wild Black Bears in the forests of Minnesota. Les Persaud's sixteen year old son Stefan was killed in South London after a minor row between him and another teenager. Out of this tragic event, he came up with the idea of mentoring children caught up in gang culture, got his son's friends together and set up 'The Options Project', which goes into primary schools to help children understand the consequences of knives and knife crime. Reece Shearsmith is the actor and writer who first came to prominence as the co-writer and one of the stars of the cult BBC comedy series 'The League of Gentlemen'. He is also co-writer and star of the BBC's 'Psychoville'. He has appeared as 'Leo Bloom' in 'The Producers' and 'Art' in the West End and can currently be seen in 'Ghost Stories' at the Duke of York's Theatre, London. Vicki Amedume is a contemporary circus performer and aerialist who founded 'Upswing' circus in 2004. Upswing will be performing their latest work, 'Fallen' as part of the London International Mime Festival (LIMF). It is a powerful story of what it means to be a woman and mother, alone in a foreign land, weaving dance, aerial and circus with African spirituality, and is based on Vicki's own mother's story of coming to the UK from Ghana. 'Fallen' is at South Bank Centre's Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.
