You're listening to TED Talks Daily, where we bring you new ideas to spark your curiosity every day.

I'm your host, Elise Hu. Today, we're taking you on a journey through the vast and beautiful landscape of Kenya to ask the question,

what if the key to saving nature isn't about science or policy, but about love?

From the crater in Silali to the springs at Mzima, the cool blue waters of Lake Chala to the sandy

beaches of Robinson Island. I am in awe of what this country has to offer.

Multi-hyphenate artist El Sifan Njura has been traveling across his native country for years,

witnessing ecosystems vanish from indigenous forests to sacred lakes.

In his talk and performance, supported by guitarist Manasseh Shalom and singer Kendi Nkongue,

alongside livelihoods. Because for Elsafon, through love of the land, the people, and the world we leave behind,

even the most threatened landscapes can be reborn.

Here's my hand, take me now, don't resist, don't ask me how. For the last three and a half years, I have traveled more than I

have ever done in all my years. I have interacted with cultures, landscapes, and legends across the

land.

And I've been enriched by these vast experiences that I'm so fortunate to have,

so much so that some of my songs are starting to sound like travel journals.

His safari in Yama Penzi means this journey is of love.

From the crater in Silali to the springs at Mzima, the cool blue waters of Lake Chala to the sandy beaches of Robinson Island, the waterfalls at Ruskebe to the island of Sumba,
