Dr. Munamato Chemhuru is Associate Professor in Philosophy at Great Zimbabwe University in Masvingo, Zimbabwe, and a Senior Research Associate in Philosophy at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Johannesburg in South Africa.He has been working on a project entitled Conceptualising Environmental Justice through Epistemic Justice in Africa, collaborating with former podcast guest Jamie Dow.Munamato's research highlights the way Africans have been subjected to epistemic injustice in the debate around environmental ethics and the distribution of environmental benefits and burdens. That's to say, African voices are often ignored, misinterpreted or not taken seriously. This injustice extends to the theoretical frameworks which are used to conceptualise environmental ethics, and towards the end of the interview, Munamato introduces unhu/ubuntu as an alternative ethical framework which promises to enrich our understanding of the ethical terrain in which environmental responsibilities are grounded.Ethics Untangled is produced by the IDEA Ethics Centre at the University of Leeds.Twitter: @EthicsUntangledFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ideacetlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/idea-ethics-centre/

WWF and UNESCO initiative, in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, to promote ethno botany and the increasing involvement of local communities in conservation and sustainable use of plant resources. Since 1992, People and Plants has mounted integrated programmes of individual and group training, production of information and guidance materials and institution-building in selected countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the South Pacific. Field activities have focused on places and themes of prime conservation importance. This video illustrates methods used to assess the history and the impact of the carved wood trade and why there is a need for responsible sourcing of woodcarvings. It illustrates the history of the Kenyan woodcarving industry from two perspectives. On one hand, the Kenyan woodcarving industry as an incredible rural development success, on the other, as a major ecological problem. The video illustrates methods used in a series of research projects funded by the People and Plants Initiative, supporting researchers at the National Museums of Kenya (NMK), East African Wildlife Society (EAWLS) and Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI). It ends by introducing the concept of certification and the common interest carvers should have in a sustainable future of carved wood use - for no wood means no work. This video has been very versatile in its use, having been seen for example by woodcarvers at Wamunyu (Kenya), 200 woodcarvers in the Masvingo area, Zimbabwe and 200 woodcarving retailers at Nanyuki (Kenya). It has also been shown twice on Kenyan national television (to several million people) as well as being used by at least five African universities.
