Turning problems into solutions for culture and agriculture, with Anthony James

This week, Anthony James, host of The RegenNarration Podcast, joins Mongabay's podcast to share stories of community resilience and land regeneration in the Americas and Australia. James explains how donkeys (seen as invasive pests) are now being managed to benefit the land in Kachana Station in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

In this episode, James emphasizes the importance of harnessing what's in front of us, rather than fighting it. Across the many interviews he's conducted, it's become clear that this concept is something Aboriginal Traditional Owners are keenly aware of.

"If you're there, you're kin. There's no sense of 'being greater than," James says.
