Produced by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and National Geographic. The film crew travels from the Andes to the Amazon to tell five stories that illustrate the need to protect the region’s natural resources. With striking images, the film shows why Latin America and the Caribbean are considered a biodiversity superpower. Six of the world’s 10 most biodiverse countries are in the region, which are home to 33 percent of the world’s mammals, 35 percent of reptiles, and half of tropical forests.<\/P> Following the screening, panelists will evaluate examples of sustainable biodiversity conservation in the areas of tourism development, agriculture, fisheries, job creation, and environmental protection.<\/P> The panel will also address how communities can work together to maintain a balance between economic, environmental, and social objectives, in turn preserving the environment and the region’s resources for future generations, while wisely utilizing resources as a source of economic development.<\/P> Collaborators<\/STRONG><\/P> The realization of DREFF 2012 has been made possible thanks to support and contributions from our collaborators:<\/P> Centro Cuesta Nacional (Arrecife), Banco de Reservas (Colibr\u00ed), Fundaci\u00f3n Vida Azul, Panorama Verde, Odebrecht, Uepa.com, Uepa Radio, PUNTACANA Resort & Club, el Proyecto Nautilius, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources of the Dominican Republic, Sue\u00f1os de Colores (Dreams in Color), la Revista Flow (Flow Magazine), el Centro Cultural Perell\u00f3 (Perell\u00f3 Cultural Center), the Embassy of Spain in the Dominican Republic, , Universidad Nacional Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a (UNPHU) (Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a National University), the Ministry of Culture of the Dominican Republic, Cl\u00faster Tur\u00edstico del Destino Puerto Plata (Tourism Cluster Destination Puerto Plata), la Universidad Cat\u00f3lica Nordestana de San Francisco de Macor\u00eds (Catholic University Nordestana de San Francisco de Macor\u00eds), el Centro Cultural Narciso Gonz\u00e1lez (Narciso Gonz\u00e1lez Cultural Center), Centro Le\u00f3n, CEDAF, Terra and RENAEPA, among others.<\/P> Related links:<\/STRONG> The Film Wild Wealth Will Conclude the Second Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival (DREFF)Santo Domingo, September 7, 2012 The Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival (DREFF) will come to a close on Sunday, September 9, with the screening of the film Wild Wealth, produced by the Inter-American Development Bank and National Geographic.
