Show notes

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Kaddu Sebunya, CEO of the African Wildlife Foundation, to explore Africa’s wildlife future and the uncomfortable questions surrounding conservation on our continent. We discuss Kaddu’s journey from Idi Amin’s Uganda to leading one of the world’s largest conservation organizations, the looming extinction crisis for Africa’s elephants, gorillas, and rhinos, the struggle for conservation funding in a world prioritizing war over nature, and whether modern conservation is just another form of neo-colonialism. We also unpack the tough trade-offs: Should precious land in places like Kinigi go to people or wildlife? And what will Kenya’s and Rwanda’s wildlife look like in 30 years if we don’t act now? Tune in for a deep, unflinching conversation about Africa, environment, justice, and the choices shaping our shared future.
