Focus Years: 2009 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
This short documentary, produced by award-winning film-maker Michel O. Scott, follows “Rainforest Partnership†as they set up projects in South America to give indigenous communities economic alternatives to deforestation. It begins in Peru with the community of Chipaota, where Rainforest Partnership helped create a management plan to counter unsustainable harvesting practices that had resulted in the local disappearance of piassaba palm. The community is also producing brooms, a value-added product, from the fiber. This project allows the community to sustainably - both ecologically and economically - harvest this fiber while protecting their forest for the future. The documentary then makes its way to the indigenous Kichwa community of Sani Isla in northeastern Ecuador. Here, Rainforest Partnership works with women to create and market handicrafts using seeds and other forest products. This alternative income stream promotes the recovery of native species in the forest.
