People Power with Francisca Rockey

<p style="text-align:center;">I may have said this before, but in recent years, I have learnt more about how people are a great part of nature & without the knowledge that some people have about the environments, sustainable use of natural resources & overall connection to the natural world, we really wouldn't stand a chance of saving this planet.</p> <p style="text-align:center;">On today's show I am joined by campaigner & geographer, Francisca Rockey to discuss the power of putting indigenous people at the heart of wildlife conservation. We discuss not only what the benefits are but what the impacts can be if this is not done. We also touch on what it takes getting city folk into nature & about #BlackGeographers, an organsiation that Francisca was part of setting up.</p> <p style="text-align:center;">If you'd like to keep up to date with Francisca, then you can do so by following her on social media <a href='https://twitter.com/franciscarockey?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor'>@FranciscaRockey</a> / <a href='https://www.instagram.com/franrockey/?hl=en'>@FranRockey</a></p> <p style="text-align:center;">To follow us on social media visit <a href='https://twitter.com/intothewildpod?lang=en'>@intothewildpod</a> for Twitter & <a href='https://www.instagram.com/intothewildpodcast/'>@intothewildpodcast</a> for Instagram.
