Forest for Our Future

Greater Mekong Subregion

Documentary film, 26 minutes



The forests of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) nurture a remarkable biodiversity and provide resources vital to human welfare and the region's economic prosperity. But these same forests are fragmenting and disappearing under pressure from rapid economic development, land conversion, and overuse. The decline of the forests and biodiversity has prompted a regional response. In 2006, Mekong countries launched the Biodiversity Conservation Corridors Initiative. This compelling documentary tells the story of local communities, NGOs, and government agencies who are working together in five Mekong countries to save the forest for our future.
