Ep021: Tracking leopards for the president w/ Renias & Alex (The Tracker Academy)
The art of tracking an animal has been called one of the earliest forms of science. The first deductive thinking of our distant ancestors, in search of food.
Together Alex van den Heever and Renias Mhlongo are helping to ensure these ancient techniques survive. Their books about tracking and their very own Tracker Academy continue to enhance tourism and conservation in South Africa — where they both live. While also educating a wider audience about the importance of diversity, the power of relationships in the workplace and how thinking like a tracker is essential for modern businesses all over the world.
Not only are they some of the most skilled trackers in the world, but they also happen to be fantastic story tellers too. Once again a big thank you to Renias and Alex for sharing their time and expertise!
