Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 The Burning Season Tonight on BBC4 Television at 10 pm Every year, there is a burning season in Indonesia. While Indonesian palm oil farmer Achmadi confronts the impact of his burning practices on climate change, Danish-born Lone Droscher-Nielsen rescues and cares for orangutans devastated by the fires. As the crisis escalates, a young environmental entrepreneur, Dorjee Sun pursues a solution. His plan involves selling the carbon credits represented by large forest areas to big polluters in the West. At the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali, Dorjee relentlessly pursues his deal. Is he a pioneer or a profiteer? Does his concept offer new hope to the remaining forests of the world and the world’s climate?  “Every year, there is one outstanding documentary that you cannot miss...that people will talk about because of its significance to the planet's future...This coming year, ‘The Burning Season’ is that documentary.†Hugh Jackman  http://www.theburningseasonmovie.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycy0gEh97PE Michelle Desilets, Director Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation UK www.savetheorangutan.org.uk " Primates Helping Primates " NEW EMAIL ADDRESS: michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
