In episode 2 you will join Milagre on her incredible journey.  It was 1975, after Mozambique’s independence, when Milagre, like other youths known as the “Geração 8 de Março” were assigned to areas of work and training most needed for national reconstruction. Did she choose the forest, she still wonders, or did the forest choose her? She has dedicated her life to protect it, to protect the people living in it and the livelihoods they sustain from it. We follow her as she travels from the pristine Parque Nacional da Gorongosa, to New York, Uganda, Brazil, Cuba and back to Mozambique as the first national director of forestry and wildlife, eventually setting roots in Chimoio. There she founded Micaia securing the livelihoods of many and continuing her commitment to saving trees.
