Join host Kim Langbecker in a discussion with world-renowned Kenyan paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey. Learn about the formation of his visionary new project and Terra Conservation Initiative partner, Ngaren: The Museum of Humankind. Dr. Leakey feels that the story of human evolution has to be told in an integral way, in which humans are not superior to, working against, or threatened by nature, but are part of it. Ngaren’s goal is to utilize innovative design and technologies to bring our collective history to the world from the heart of where our story began, the Rift Valley in Kenya.

As the son of the famous paleoanthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey, Leakey has made numerous discoveries in the field of human evolution and published extensively on his work. He heads Kenya’s Turkana Basin Institute, where students and experts come together to do fieldwork, study fossils and explore and exchange knowledge. And he was director of the National Museum of Kenya in Nairobi and made a name for himself as a powerful fighter against wildlife crime in his role as director of all wildlife parks in Kenya.
