Our sacred land

by Balungile from South Africa

Balungile gives a powerful message from the indigenous people of Mpondoland, South Africa.  The people are dependent on the land, particularly for their traditional medicine. The indigenous forests where these plants grow are now being threatened by climate change, pollution and invasive species.
