Biodiversity

Current trends in fossil-fuel use and inefficient land use will lead to large global environmental problems with respect to climate change and biodiversity loss. Technical and economically feasible options are available to meet the challenge to avoid these problems. The main issue is that of creating institutional and policy conditions for a more sustainable economy.

This booklet is for biodiversity campaigners, policy makers and media who are open to radically changing our biodiversity message, in order to radically increase action.

Films included in this compilation are "Mekong: Watch That River!" (2009); "Small Islands, Big Impact" (2009); "South Asia: Crowded Land, Drying Rivers" (2009); and "Yellow River Blues" (2009). Additional information and synopses of the individual films is available from the TVEAP website (www.tveap.org).
