Blood Origins Episode 549 - Mike Labuschagne || A Human Rights Travesty, Part 1
There is big news coming out of the Zambian - Malawi Border this past week. A relocation of 263 elephants into Kasungu National Park has led to a human rights travesty. This travesty has now been picked up by a law firm in the United Kingdom that is about to file a class action lawsuit against IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) - arguably one of, if not the, largest NGO in the world. In this longer-than-normal episode, Robbie kicks off our series on Kasungu in Zambia with someone who has been on the ground in the area for 20+ years. Mike Labuschagne has been working in the Kasungu area for two decades, and at one point was even employed by IFAW. He is the force behind exposing the human rights travesty, and has an important story to tell on human wildlife conflict, investment, and sets the stage for one of the most important, if underreported, wildlife conflicts in the world right now.
