Intro
<p>Have you noticed that podcasts that relate the stories of amazing achievements are almost always about men? The Wild Basil podcasts are helping to fill this chasm by bringing to you the stories of extraordinary women who have been hidden from history. Listen carefully and you will hear how they have struggled against colonial rule and apartheid in Southern Africa. Listen and you will marvel at how they have overcome many obstacles and transformed the landscape of conservation and biodiversity in their countries. The Wild Basil podcasts begin in the 1970s with Mozambique’s struggle for independence against Portuguese colonialism and takes us to the pristine region of Niassa that borders on Tanzania and Malawi, and then further south into the Chimanimani national park on the border with Zimbabwe. From there we travel with our heroes into Zimbabwe, Namibia, Angola, Botswana, South Africa and end our journey back in Niassa. Here we learn how in the last 15 years, the devastation of widespread illegal poaching has been undermining the development of the park and how this was stopped. You will also discover how amazingly teddy bears and laughter might have made more inroads than many other community-based interventions on cohabitation. </p>

Anabela, the wild dancer
<p>In episode 1, we hear AnaBela’s spirited story of how, as a teenager, she abandoned her ballet lessons and secondary schooling to join Mozambique's liberation struggle which led to independence in 1975. After completing her master’s degree in economics 25 years later, she accepted the challenge of becoming the first manager of the recently created Niassa reserve - a territory the size of the Netherlands. She had basically no staff and an impossible budget. By the time she left ten years later, she had cultivated a public/private partnership which ensured an operational budget. Her staff had grown to 100. She had placed Niassa firmly on the map of conservation.</p>

Milagre, the voice of the forest
<p>In episode 2 you will join Milagre on her incredible journey. It was 1975, after Mozambique’s independence, when Milagre, like other youths known as the “Geração 8 de Março” were assigned to areas of work and training most needed for national reconstruction. Did she choose the forest, she still wonders, or did the forest choose her? She has dedicated her life to protect it, to protect the people living in it and the livelihoods they sustain from it. We follow her as she travels from the pristine Parque Nacional da Gorongosa, to New York, Uganda, Brazil, Cuba and back to Mozambique as the first national director of forestry and wildlife, eventually setting roots in Chimoio. There she founded Micaia securing the livelihoods of many and continuing her commitment to saving trees. </p>
