Ep 52 _ Roland Norton, Makasa Safaris, Wildlife Conservator and Safari Operator

In this episode of the Shepherds of the Wild Podcast, Tom goes in-depth with Roland Norton of Makasa Safaris. As documented in Tom's film "Killing the Shepherd", over a decade ago, at the behest of the area's chieftainess, Roland and Makasa Safaris moved into the lower Luano Valley in Zambia to help restore wildlife numbers. After a decade spent fighting poaching, and engaged in community projects, the people of the lower Luano, and the wildlife are starting to rebound in a big way. But a few vital, endemic species have not returned. So the next step is Project Return of the Wild. Tom and Roland discuss the problems, the solutions, and the best way to get involved.
