The Big Conservation Lie: How “Green” Capitalism Exploits Africa | Mordecai Ogada

In this episode, I’m joined by Kenyan ecologist and author Dr. Mordecai Ogada, co-author of The Big Conservation Lie and author of Green and Evil. We talk about conservation as an industry, carbon offsets as financial tools, and how land, labour, and power are quietly extracted from local communities in the name of ''saving nature''.
