Documentary
"Forest Partners" is one of the films which will be shown during the Science Film Festival.
The documentary highlights an often unseen side of forests – the economic ecosystems thriving between public and private organisations and local communities. The film demonstrates solutions that combine technology and traditional knowledge to protect tropical forests, with shared benefits. Forest Partners showcases successful innovations in sustainable production systems worldwide, proving it is possible to obtain social, environmental, and economic benefits by preserving or restoring forest landscapes. The initiatives documented by the film are set in South America, Africa, and Asia, in regions where there are still preserved forest landscapes, but where the impacts of deforestation and forest degradation are already widely felt.
The film will be shown at the Goethe Institut on the 1st of November at 6pm. Experts in conservation and ecosystem will be on the panel to discuss the topics of the film and to answer all the questions of the audience.
