Impossible Journeys, Polynesian Navigation and BRT Wildlife Sanctuary

Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria

The island of Satwal in the Pacific Ocean is incredibly small - Just 1 square kilometre and supports a population of 500. And yet, it is home to Mau Piailug, a man who holds the secrets of the some of the most long distance travellers of the world. Travellers who for thousands of years, have traversed vast oceans without any navigational aids. But what does it have to do with the BRT Wildlife Sanctury in Karnataka, India, which is about 7800 kms away from Satwal. This week, we travel from the islands of French Polynesia to the BRT Wildlife Sanctuary and discover the secrets of some of the world's greatest long-distance travellers, which include not just humans, but another species on our planet. Tune in, and discover the life lessons they hold for us.
