Legacy Makers delves into The Herds, a bold public art project bringing together puppetry and performance with the goal of climate action. Puppetry designer Siphokazi Mpofu shares her role in bringing this powerful vision to life. From April to August 2025, life-sized puppet animals are travelling over 20,000 kilometres, from the Congo Basin to the Arctic - symbolising wildlife fleeing climate catastrophe.

 The Herds journey to cities throughout Africa and Europe, making an urgent and powerful call for local action.

Hosts Giles and Sangeeta talk with Siphokazi about the emotional power of puppetry, her creative processes, and how this type of climate storytelling can spark change.

 As The Herds near the Arctic, not all the animals will make it, echoing the harsh truths of our warming world.

This episode of LegacyMakers is with the Sudanese climate activist Nisreen Elsaim, a fierce advocate for climate justice. Her work has earned her significant recognition. In 2020, she was selected to chair the United Nations Secretary-General's youth advisory board on climate change alongside six other young activists. She’s a member of the Marianne Initiative for Human Rights Defenders, an initiative launched by the French President, Emmanuel Macron; and a Fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy. Focusing on climate change, peace, and security, with a special emphasis on youth as pivotal players in climate adaptation, action, peacebuilding, and security.

Nisreen talks to hosts Giles Trendle and Sangeeta Waldron about the absence of voices from the Global South on the world stage, especially given the diversity of Africa and Asia. She underscores how the same faces dominate climate conversations, often sidelining the regions most affected by the crisis, and the role that celebrity status plays in this dynamic.

She opens up about the devastating impact of war and climate change on her home country of Sudan, describing how flooding has triggered a cholera outbreak. She also shares her latest mission to empower young people in conflict zones who are doubly impacted by the climate crisis.

This episode poses an urgent question: Can the world reach net zero or build a sustainable future while ‘mankind’ continues to wage war? With global conflict zones now covering an area twice the size of India since 2021, this conversation confronts the dangerous convergence of war, climate, and the freedom to tell the truth.

What unfolds is a raw and haunting conversation, a rare glimpse into life under siege. Shrouq reflects on the devastation of Gaza’s natural environment, the deep cultural connection Palestinians have with the land, especially with its trees, and most poignantly, the olive tree. She shares the daily struggle of surviving with her young daughter amid relentless bombardment, scarce resources, and overwhelming grief.

Shrouq’s words are both an elegy and a call to witness
