Giving Nature Time and Giving Communities Voice ft. Dr Clive Stockil

In this episode of Beneath the Baobab, Gordon meets pioneering Zimbabwean conservationist Dr Clive Stockil. Since childhood, Clive has been living with and serving the same community. It’s his life’s work to continue forging and building coexistence benefits through sustainable conservation projects. The 1990s saw him founding the Savé Valley Conservancy, one of the largest private game reserves in Africa. This comprises 750,000 acres of biodiversity in the Southeastern Iowveld of Zimbabwe. Clive talks with Gordon about his work with the Mahenye village community, formed from the community bordering Gonarezhou National Park, whose rights to resources were changed overnight by hunting laws and government conservation decisions. He explains how principles from the CAMPFIRE programme enabled the community to create sustainable tourism, earning an income to build local services and a school. Today they run the Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge , which allows tourists to celebrate the beauty of Gonarezhou National Park’s landscape in harmony with Shangaan culture.
