To mark Conservation Week we present a special screening of writer-director Dr Michael Tobias’ documentary film, Hotspots, revealing how ingenious conservation efforts are succeeding throughout the world.
“Hotspots” refer to those areas which are populated by the largest number of unique plant, animal and insect species at risk of going extinct and what it takes - in the trenches- to negotiate a sustainable future for life on Earth.
Shot in multiple locations throughout New Zealand, United States, Peru, Brazil, Madagascar and Chile’s Easter Island, this epic conveys good reasons to be hopeful, while reminding us of the precious array of life on Earth, the very creation at stake in this generation.
Dr. Russell A. Mittermeier hosts this documentary, taking viewers on a journey into the remarkably intimate realm of conservation biology – a conservation effort working on the frontier of new technologies restoring the vitality of species and rescuing habitat from oblivion.
Meet Writer/Director Michael Tobias and Producer Jane Gray Morrison at a cocktail reception after the screening.
