Deep in Uganda's Mabamba Swamp lives the shoebill – a bird so prehistoric-looking it's often called a "living dinosaur." But who would dare steal such a magnificent creature right from its natural habitat?

Meet Hannington Kasasa, chairperson of the Mabamba Wetland Ecotourism Association, whose remarkable journey from curious 9-year-old boy to pioneering bird guide spans nearly four decades. Sitting beneath an acacia tree at the Mabamba landing site, surrounded by busy fishermen and the constant activity of weaver birds building nests, Kasasa shares his extraordinary story.
