As we begin to write this chapter, it is only a few hours since the news broke about the passing of Nelson Mandela, the founding president of a democratic South Africa. As we describe our work in supporting intergenerational learning and the development of transformational leadership, it seems appropriate to make this reference as a tribute to him. This work would not have been possible without the contribution of Mandela and all who fought for justice and an egalitarian society in South Africa. We are able to write about the so-called ‘born frees’ because of Mandela’s role in dismantling apartheid, a system that sought to condemn black people to perpetual servitude, ignorance and poverty. Indeed, our efforts in building skills for biodiversity, under the auspices of GreenMatter, are inspired by his courageous leadership, his selflessness, commitment to education and love of people, knowledge and nature. While philosophies, contexts and methods will vary, the quest of all intergenerational learning is to build a bridge that enables young people to learn from the experiences and wisdom of previous generations. Mandela (1994, p. 25-26) was aware of this, as reflected in this statement:

A leader… is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.
