Ep 21: Grant Fowlds - Project Rhino, Saving the Last Rhinos, and Rewilding Africa.

Описание: In this episode, I'm talking with Grant Fowlds (@grant.fowlds). Grant is a conservationist, consultant, educator and author of two books. He grew up in the Eastern Cape of South Africa where his family and neighbors came together to form the now famous Amakhala Game Reserve (@amakhala_game_reserve). He's the Director of the (KZN) Project Rhino Alliance NPC (@projectrhinokzn) and the Ambassador & Manager for Rhino Art. He splits his time between range expansion projects, marketing, fundraising, youth education, and speaking about the work being done in the field. His two books, Saving the Last Rhinos and Rewildling Africa can be found on Amazon.

In this conversation, we talk about Grant's early days of growing up on the family farm, his entrepreneurial beginnings in goat farming, and the development of the Amakhala Game Reserve. We talk about his involvement in Rhino Art with adventurer Kingsley Holgate (@kingsleyholgatefoundation), the work at Project Rhino and their efforts in range expansion, ranger support, youth education, and building a conservation economy. We go into the many stories related in his books, and dive into some of his rewilding projects with a focus on the development of the Loziba Wildlife Reserve. Grant's books and life story is a masterclass in conservation. This episode is full of stories of passionate people coming together to make a difference.
