Destination: Zimbabwe
Expedition: Gugulethu Tarakini is a researcher who has never backed down from a challenge. Global agriculture hangs in the balance of the conservation status of bees, and she has been on the front lines of fighting the massive die-offs of these fragile pollinators. Evading elephants and poisonous snakes, Gugulethu fearlessly captures bees leading her team. Even with the political turmoil of Zimbabwe in the past few years, disruptions from COVID, border insurgents, Gugulethu will not let anything get in the way of her mission.
