4Education films for Indonesia
- Being an Internationally recognized photographer
and cameraman doesn't make Alain Compost forget
about his commitment to help save the endangered
Indonesian wildlife. He has created an
educational film series called Alam
Indonesia di Ambang Kepunahan . The films are
aimed at creating awareness among the populations
living around the Hot spots of Indonesian
Biodiversity. Without the people understanding
and support, conservation efforts will fail so
these programs can facilitate the work of the
Government and the NGOs in the field. - The first episode Orangutan supported by
Paneco, is used as an awareness tool in Sumatra
and Borneo . - The second episode Babirusa supported by the
Singapore Zoo is being distributed to the
Babirusa eating communities in North Sulawesi
and has been broadcasted by local TV networks . - The third episode Elephant also supported by
Paneco is in post production and will be released
in July. - The plan is to continue the series to cover as
much as possible endangered Indonesian wildlife
species.
