…but there are some elephants involved. For several years I’ve worked with a very cool non-profit in Kenya called Amara Conservation. Originally founded by Lori Bergemann of Ann Arbor, MI, Amara focuses on encouraging sustainable wildlife conservation in Kenya, mainly by using a mobile film unit to show educational films produced by the African Environmental Film Foundation to the rural people of Kenya. Amara supports a lot of other projects in Kenya, including lion translocation, various activities of the Kenya Wildlife Service, and is currently working on some other interesting projects, including a mobile radio station in conjunction with UK-based Radioactive. The clip here is an early promotional video from 2001. We’re currently planning a May/June fundraiser in Michigan; if you’re interested in helping out somehow (volunteering, networking, fund raising), contact me or contact Amara via their web site. The clip here was written & produced Chris Cook, edited by Matt Zacharias, with music by yours truly, Ian Gray.
