This program examines environmental threats to the Sundarbans and studies ways in which its human residents are learning to live with the tigers and even protect their habitats. The video also explains the functioning of this ecosystem-the largest of its kind in the world-and how a tiger conservation project, eco-tourism, and government initiates are aiding in its preservation.","stream","[]","[]","['Bengal tiger', 'Conservation of natural resources']","['Educational films']","https://cdnsecakmi.kaltura.com/p/1067292/sp/106729200/thumbnail/entry_id/0_oieyp8es/version/100001/width/320","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=https://fod.infobase.com/PortalPlaylists.aspx?wID=102638&xtid=48261"

We know how vital a natural resource they are and how important they are for the quality of air we breathe; so, obviously, nobody in this age of awareness should want to see the forests disappear; however, that is not always the case. People everywhere don't want to give up paper or the thousands of other products made from trees; the world is dependent on forest products, not to mention the jobs that are created from providing these modern-day necessities; thus we have a serious issue we have to face. The good news is forests are a renewable resource; they don't have to needlessly disappear; there is something each and every one of us can do. This important documentary vividly illustrates the problems we face as we try to reconcile our dependence on forest products and the jobs they create with our concern for natural resources. Here we are introduced to two groups with common sense approaches to improving the environment, Project Learning Tree and Wildlife Action. Overall, we discover the challenge is to make decisions in our daily lives that ensure our forests remain a renewable natural resource and a place of beauty for all to enjoy.","stream","[]","[]","['Forest management', 'Forests and forestry']","['Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1005274xxx/1005274126/1005274126-disc001-file001-frame00920-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?ENVV;2127116"

Solar wind and water could power the planet by the year 2050 according to experts in the film substantially reducing carbon emissions. What's needed is the social and political willpower to make the change on a large scale. Two model towns are highlighted for their exemplary steps towards clean energy: Greensburg, Kansas and Lancaster, California. After a devastating tornado in 2007, the town of Greensburg decided to rebuild and 'go green' with 100% renewables harnessing the very energy that destroyed them by building wind turbines. A local politician admits that many residents were skeptical at first, but soon realized ""It's common sense."" The city of Lancaster set a goal to become the nation's first 'net zero' community, and now runs on solar power with panels installed on practically every rooftop available and even new structures. The mayor notes the economics of renewables are a ""no-brainer"" as they've offset many energy costs.The film also highlights the broader citizen movements for clean energy, showcasing especially how the youth of today are helping to lead the change. The Future of Energy illustrates that renewable power on a large scale is not just a dream, but rather a viable option already being implemented by many communities, cities and businesses. The examples and solutions highlighted are designed to inspire others to consider adopting clean, renewable power as a smart choice with substantial economic, public health and environmental benefits.

In the economically depressed, largely African-American 'West End' of Chester, Pennsylvania, Zulene Mayfield lives next door to the fourth-largest trash-to-steam incinerator in the nation and a few doors away from a large processing facility for infectious and hazardous medical waste. The county's sewage treatment plant sits adjacent to her neighbors' homes a block away, and additional waste-processing facilities have been proposed for the community.Daily, trucks from Pennsylvania, Delaware, and as far away as Virginia roll past homes on Chester's Second Street, delivering thousands of tons of waste. Residents believe that their lives are being disrupted, their health threatened, their community destroyed, and the very air they breathe dangerously polluted. A grassroots organization called Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living (CRCQL) has taken an active role in opposing the facilities and in publicizing the plants' impact on their community. Representatives of the waste-processing companies argue that their facilities are safe and that they bring much-needed jobs to Chester.""Laid to Waste"" documents a community's attempt to deal with the complex issues of environmental injustice. The story unfolds dramatically as the residents seek to discover and confront the forces that have chosen their community for such facilities. Though CRCQL receives threats and its office is vandalized, the group continues to protest and to challenge the waste industry. Ultimately, a controversy surrounding an obscure legal maneuver used by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court draws statewide attention to the situation, and brings the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee to Chester's West End to investigate allegations of corruption and collusion at the highest levels of government and the waste industry.

This program's clear explanations, illustrated by live-action shots and diagrams where necessary, allow even the novice to grasp the elements of the process of wetland creation; it is certainly suitable for anyone interested in preserving and developing the wetlands in their jurisdiction.' -VRG Review  This timely program introduces viewers to a wetlands area and underscores the importance of wetlands to our communities, as well as the imminent danger of disappearing altogether if controls in development are not in place. Here we see that wetlands are areas where water covers the soil, or where water is present either at or near the surface of the soil either all year long or during various times of the year. It is the quantity of water and the timing of the water's presence, which in part determine the functions of a wetlands as well as its role in the environment. Wetlands we see often provide critical habitat for wildlife, especially for breeding purposes.","stream","[]","[]","['Wetlands conservation', 'Wetlands']","['Documentary films']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1005274xxx/1005274102/1005274102-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?ENVV;2126316"
"asp3227729-marc","","Cashing in on culture. Indigenous communities and tourism","","29 minutes","[]","Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world, and one of the most important forms of contemporary contact between different cultures. Eco-tourism and ""ethnic"" tourism, designed specifically to bring affluent and adventurous tourists into remote indigenous communities, are among the fastest-growing types of tourism worldwide.This insightful documentary, filmed in the small tropical forest community of Capirona, in Ecuador, serves as an incisive case study of the many issues and potential problems surrounding eco- and ethnic tourism. Those issues are shown to be simultaneously cultural, economic, and environmental, and are complexly intertwined for both indigenous communities and tourists.The film interweaves illuminating sequences featuring the Quechua-speaking Capirona Indians, Ecuadorian tour operators, anthropologists and other academics, and college-age American tourists to examine the benefits and negative costs of such tourism to everyone involved. The film focuses in particular on how tourism has changed the lives of members of the indigenous community, which took eight years to decide to admit tourists into their villages.The cash flow from tourism that is managed directly by the Indians bypasses the fees normally exacted by travel agencies and tour operators and may be able to sustain the community if revenues are distributed equitably. But how do indigenous communities, in the context of global tourism and business interests, set up and run successful tourist operations without compromising their own cultural traditions and despoiling their environment?""Cashing in on Culture"" explores some of the most perplexing issues facing indigenous communities and raises a multitude of thorny questions. The film will generate discussion in a variety of courses in cultural anthropology, development and Third-World issues, and Latin American studies.
