Culture, conservation and the destinies of two men who created a movement, which is transforming landscapes, bringing together old enemies and restore nature. Peter Martell in the book describes his almost 2 years of work in Northern Kenya, with the Northern Rangeland Trust a “Grassroots conservation aimed at enhancing people’s lives, building peace and conserving the natural environment”. In the book, he describes the work to rescue the last rhinos in the ‘80s, the first conservancy and the strong peacebuilding efforts. The stories of Josephine, Ian, Kinyanjui and many more are examples of the work and commitment. In the interview, we discuss the critics of the movement and the response to their concerns. And you will discover the meaning of the title! Happy listening! The Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) is a membership organisation owned and led by the 43 community conservancies it serves in northern and coastal Kenya. NRT was established as a shared resource to help build and develop community conservancies, which are best positioned to enhance people’s lives, build peace and conserve the natural environment.
