I want to be able to look back at my life and think I did something which actually changed the world and made a difference.
Imagine strapping a propeller to your back and soaring through the skies to follow the migration of swans. That's exactly what Sacha Dench, known as the 'Human Swan', did. In this episode of Force of Nature, host Clover Hogan sits down with Sacha, an award-winning conservationist, adventurer, and UN ambassador, to discuss her incredible journey from Arctic Russia to the UK. Sacha’s mission? To uncover why the bird population is dwindling and to inspire action through her daring adventure.
Sacha and Clover delve into the importance of overcoming fear and letting go of ego to achieve something greater than oneself. They share stories about finding unexpected allies and even how James Bond played a surprising role in Sacha's journey. With a propeller on her back and a piece of fabric to keep her airborne, Sacha’s migration with the swans covered 11 countries, providing her with a unique perspective on our planet, often referred to as the 'overview effect'.
The conversation also touches on why people often shut down when faced with global challenges and how inviting others to be 'one of the good guys' can foster positive change. Sacha's insights into the power of media when it chooses to be a force for good are both thought-provoking and inspiring.
If you’re curious about how one person’s bravery can shine a light on pressing environmental issues and want to hear tales of adventure that inspire action, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how Sacha Dench uses her wings, both literal and metaphorical, to make a difference in conservation.
