Boyd Varty: What I learned from Nelson Mandela

“In the cathedral of the wild, we get to see the best parts of ourselves reflected back to us.“ Boyd Varty, a wildlife activist, shares stories of animals, humans and their interrelatedness, or “ubuntu“ — defined as, “I am, because of you.“ And he dedicates the talk to South African leader Nelson Mandela, the human embodiment of that same great-hearted, generous spirit.
