In this third installment of the Green Ancestors Podcast series, Larry Kwirirayi explores the effect that colonisation had on soil and forest protection and how indigenous conservation was ignored.

On this second episode of the The Green Ancestors Series podcast, Larry Kwirirayi chats with Cultural practitioner, Writer, Storyteller, Poet and Critic Tinashe Muchuri on how religion and spirituality in pre-colonial Zimbabwe was used to engage in preservation of the environment.

What did our Zimbabwean ancestors have in place to tackle climate issues? What were the indigenous knowledge tactics such as language, taboo and storytelling were used for conservation? Dr Ignatius Mabasa is the first person to ever write and defend a thesis entirely in ChiShona. He chats to Larry Kwirirayi. The Green Ancestors Series is supported by African Crossroads.
