Steve Collins-Executive Director, African Safari Foundation and environmental activist

Steve Collins is an old friend of mine. We met at the University of Natal in Durban back in the mid-1980's. Steve was a student activist and member of the End Conscription Campaign. He went on to work for IDASA (Institute for Democratic Alternatives in South Africa) and then was a mediator for the IEC (Electoral Commission of South Africa)  for the 1994 elections.

We discussed his path into the environmental space and chatted about some of the projects he has been involved in across the region that allowed us to discuss the Food Energy Water Nexus among other things. We got a sense of the fragile nature of our environment and the efforts required to ensure our survival.
