Gaël Vande Weghe: The Hidden Decline of Rwanda’s Wildlife
Description
Rwanda is often celebrated as a conservation success story, known for its national parks, gorillas, and protected ecosystems. But how much of the country’s natural world has already disappeared?
In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, scientist, photographer, and conservationist Gaël Vande Weghe discusses his research on Rwanda’s biodiversity, including a comprehensive study documenting 229 mammal species.
This conversation examines wildlife conservation, biodiversity loss, African environmental policy, and the future of nature in Rwanda and East Africa, asking whether conservation is preserving ecosystems — or simply protecting the last fragments of them.
