Majka Burhardt joins us this week on the Lookfar Podcast: Voices from the Wild. As a professional climber, conservation entrepreneur, author, mother of twins, and filmmaker, Majka has spent over two decades leading multi-stage international ventures focused on current issues of cultural and environmental significance spanning Africa, Europe, South and North America.
Majka talks with Lookfar CEO Scott Stone and guest host Barbara Merz of Pathfinder International about how she came to found Legado, an international organization working with local and indigenous communities in the world's “last mile” places to prioritize what their community and environment need to thrive together now and into the future – an ultimate goal called Thriving Futures. Majka also talks about her many creative and climbing endeavors, including writing Coffee Story: Ethiopia, and Vertical Ethiopia: Climbing Toward Possibility in the Horn of Africa, and serving as the executive producer of the films Waypoint Namibia and Namuli.
