#26 Dr. Mordecai Ogada (Part 2)
On this episode of “Death in The Garden,” we share our second interview with Dr. Mordecai Ogada which we obtained during the Our Land, Our Nature Congress in Marseille, France. we go deep into speculating about the more nefarious side of the global climate change narrative, including the obsession with the fertility of African women, the prospect of protected areas being refuges for elites, the establishment of decentralized colonies headed by colonizing NGOs, and conservation being a smoke screen for extraction and industry.
#20 Dr. Mordecai Ogada
This week, we talk to Dr. Mordecai Ogada, carnivore ecologist and co-author of The Big Conservation Lie. We dive into the intersections between conservation and food systems, the racist assumptions underpinning conservation in Africa, the Disney-fied myths that perpetuate problems in Western perception of Africa and its wildlife, the fallacy of tourism and capitalism being necessary to protect wildlife, the removal of the sacred during Christian colonization, how conservation today reinforces the institutions of colonialism, and how the language of crisis maintains these dubious institutions.
