Maxi, the mother of conservancies

Episode 4 will take you to Namibia, when it was called South West Africa and was still under apartheid rule. Here you will meet Maxi who was raised in poverty and suffered the impact of apartheid as a child and teenager. You will follow her story as she travels and studies outside of Namibia after independence in 1990 and realizes for the first time that Blacks could run a government! Inspired by her experiences she went on to create the communal conservancies program in Namibia. These conservancies are now a global model for the successful management of cohabitation between people and wildlife.
