How to Save the Earth: Taking the Waters

"How to Save the Earth" is a series of six television programmes that go beyond the usual 'doom and gloom' about the state of the Earth today. By concentrating on the life and work of twelve 'green warriors', each programme demonstrates that answers exist to the problems we now face.

Description

The world's great rivers and wetland systems are coming under remorseless pressure - from farmers, industrialists and population growth. Pollution and water shortages increase in severity year by year, but existing protection measures (national and international) remain inadequate. Klara Benkoviesova is a volunteer organiser for Eurochain, a network set up in 1990 to protest against the construction of the giant Gabeikovo Dam in Czechoslovakia. Hammadi Baraket is Chief Conservation Officer for the Ichkeul National Park - Tunisia, and one of the world's most important wetlands.
