Africa Alive Corridors (AAC) offers a different, more inclusive and dynamic approach to understanding Africa and its place in the world. Each corridor is embedded within the geo-biological and cultural heritage of a specific region, over various time windows ranging from the early Earth to present-day, and each focuses on a unique chapter of the evolution of the African continent and species, including us, as Homo sapiens. The main goal is to learn more about both science and cultural stories and develop their narratives in order to understand a new politics. At the same time, sustainable management of that heritage enables reaching out and growing Earth Stewardship Science. Its devotees have investigate selected ‘corridors’ by exploring a wide range of research themes, all supported by outstanding data, from planetary science through art, climatology, ecology and agriculture, to social science. This way of thinking about ways of organizing life—and outreach—is ongoing but to succeed will requires the support and collaboration of more people to develop the links between society, knowledge, and nature.
