Episode 49
Growing up, Sylvia spent a lot of time on the family farm just outside Nairobi, Kenya. Where she remembers a wide open landscape, there are now blocks of flats and a hospital. Reliable rains have been replaced by four seasons of drought and the land can no longer support the herds of livestock it once did. We talk to her about the role of media in addressing the catastrophic loss of biodiversity and climate change in Kenya and how her generation are rising to the challenges of their uncertain future.
Having begun her career as a multi-media journalist for The Nation Media Group, Sylvia is now a valuable member of A Rocha International's Communications team.
