Show Notes

As the Biodiversity Project Manager of the Princess Vlei Forum, Denisha Anand is passionate about working to rehabilitate and conserve Princess Vlei, a wetland in the Cape Flats. This wetland is a vital part of the community, not just for the fundamental role it plays in the hydrological system, but due to the important spiritual and cultural heritage it holds. Denisha shares stories of an ancient Khoi princess, myth and lore associated with the vlei, and how a community fought to protect it from development.
