African Plant Hunter
If you've ever wondered about the marula oil hype, why baobab is the "Tree of Life", or what the best natural remedy for skin cancer is, you've come to the right place. My name is Gus, the African Plant Hunter, and it's my mission to share the secrets of Africa's trees an plants with the rest of the world. I was born in a little mission hospital in Kenya. As an 18 year old (back in '85 - you do the math!), I drove a beaten up old Land Rover from London, across the Sahara, through the Congo rainforest, to the East African coast. After that, I was lucky enough to study anthropology at Cambridge University and social ecology at Yale, and that set me off on a career working with African plants. As for this channel, I started it as a way of sharing my love for Africa and its biodiversity. In my travels, I get to learn and see many amazing things, and it seems wrong to keep it all to myself! So, if you're intrigued by some of Africa's planty secrets, hop on the bus. It'll be a wild ride!
