Award-winning journalist Amayiko Martin and the story of Nkambwe Forest

About this Episode

Amayiko Martin's three part documentary aired on Radio Simba. It's called 'Sub-counties are in tears - assailants destroyed over 300 hectares of Nkambwe Forest.' He joins us on Climate Talk Uganda to talk about the story of the destruction and restoration of the forest, how communities reacted to his documentary, and how it feels to win such a high profile award for his work. It's a fascinating glimpse of the commitment it takes to report well on climate change and respect the communities you work with.
