Joe journeys to a research camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta to learn about ongoing conservation efforts. Along the way, ranger and guide Keitopetse Kagande talks about a 45-minute standoff with a lion, how climate change is impacting Botswana and what it’s like to grow up in one of the planet’s last wild places.
