Community Conservation - Living in the Park



This video from award-winning Ootek Productions explores community conservation efforts in the rain forests of Belize, the hidden valleys of western Wisconsin and the crane marshes along the Russian/Chinese border. Experts from a variety of backgrounds discuss environmental policy, the ways in which human communities are embedded in a web of inter-connected natural communities and the importance of community-based conservation. Amid the fascinating wild areas of these three regions, beautiful footage of black howler monkeys, bald ealges, endangered wildflowers, cranes and crocodiles is punctuated by diverse music incorporating Irish, reggae, rock, folk and country influences.
