Live from the Kafue River in Zambia with Joe Cutler

Description

Live from the Kafue River in Zambia with Joe Cutler

Joe is a very familiar face here at Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants! He has joined us from various river expedition and tide pooling adventures from California to Gabon to Mongolia. He is currently working with the Wild Bird Foundation of America on the Wilderness Project to survey the great rivers in Africa, including the Zambezi, Congo and Nile, plus their major tributaries.

Join in live from the field as he explores the Kafue River in Zambia, this is one of the first Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants flagged expeditions!

Joe is an ichthyologist, freshwater ecologist, and an African river explorer. As a National Geographic explorer he studied volcanic crater lakes in Cameroon and Gabon’s Ogooue River. Now he is exploring the Kafue River in Zambia! The Kafue is the longest river entirely within Zambia and flows for over 1,600 km. Joe and his team are paddling the entirety of the Kafue to study biodiversity, water quality and conservation of the system. Joe will be joining us from the banks of the river in Kafue National Park to share some updates from the field.
