Manage episode 514434561 series 3383229
Chaz Powell is an explorer, expedition leader, bushcraft instructor, and ranger. He undertakes remote expeditions on foot along Africa's wildest rivers to raise funds and awareness for wildlife conservation and anti-poaching. In this episode, he tells me about traveling over 2,000 miles solo on foot along the Zambezi River from the river source to the Indian Ocean, avoiding land mines and lions, while also surviving extreme heat and dehydration. He also tells me about journeying across Madagascar while following the Mangoky River, where he met many amazing people and encountered one very dangerous group of bandits. We also discuss what might be some future solutions to the global crisis regarding wildlife habitats and illegal poaching.
