Where farming land meets ancient migration routes
In short: As human populations expand across Africa, local communities face a dangerous daily confrontation with wildlife. This documentary explores the innovative, high-stakes methods people use to protect their livelihoods while ensuring the survival of endangered species.
The film follows Ben Fogle through Uganda and Namibia to document the practical front lines of conservation. It highlights how rural villages navigate the tension between expanding agriculture and traditional wildlife corridors.
Viewers see specific local adaptations, such as the production of chili and garlic repellents in Kampala markets to deter elephants, and the use of 'lion lights' to safeguard livestock from nocturnal predators. The narrative focuses on the resilience of communities seeking compromise over conflict.
