In “Our common ancestors” I will invite experts to share their experiences in the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa. where they do work amongst the indigenous communities of the Bushmen, also called San people.
This podcast will give you a versatile view on the indigenous group and their environment. In season 1 we hear stories through the eyes of anthropologists, conservationists, experts and researchers.
In season 2 we talk to locals.
With this show I hope to create awareness about one of the most marginalised communities worldwide and why it is important to give voice to their stories.

Ben Begbie-Clench on indigenous land rights and illegal grazing, - fencing and - settlements.
Talking land issues of San groups (Ju|’hoan, Hai||om and Khwe) in Namibia and the effort of protecting the indigenous right over the San’s ancestral land, with the help of the NGO Legal Assistance Center. Flora talks to Ben, a consultant legal practitioner whose mission is to inform communities on their rights, marking areas and boundaries and helps the national land law to be implemented.
The San people have been chased off their ancestral land by white settlers and pastoralists since the last 400 years, resulting in today’s extremely restricted habitats, going from communal land, over national parks, to resettlement farms. Their land is still under a constant threat of illegal livestock grazing, illegal settlements and fencing
