Description

This week I talk to Dimitri Syrris, founder of Baotree. Baotree is a ground breaking digital initiative that strives to ensure co-existence between humans and wildlife across Africa. Dimitri explains how Baotree aims to provide the local communities with the opportunity to earn goods or services (e.g predator proof fencing) by engaging with conservation activities such as reporting a lion sighting or removing alien plant species. Tune in to hear about Dimitri's journey, how Baotree operates and his thoughts on the future of conservation in Africa. Dimitri’s passion to preserve our ecosystems, while enabling people to improve their lives is truly inspirational.
