Two big events took place in Germany in May, 2010: the Take a Walk for the Wild events in in Leipzig on May 7th and in Dresden on May 10th. Our movie shows the great commitment of the students, their teachers and of 10 representatives of the Cowichan First Nation from the rainforests of the Canadian West Coast who came to Germany for the runs. The runs were dedicated to preserve the Ancient Rain Forests in Western Canada. More informations can be found here. A large number of images can be found here and here.
Our movie of the Wilderness run 2009 in Dresden shows the great commitment of students from Dresden (Germany). They made an important contribution to preserve the west Canadian tempered rain forests. The most part of the proceeds go directly to the Conservation Project West Canada. Many thanks to the students and the sponsors for their commitment!
Robert Morgenstern and Wilderness International have created this trailer for use by CPAWS Yukon (Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society). It shows the beauty of the Peel River Watershed and the need to preserve it. This unique wilderness the size of Ireland is directly jeopardized by mining concessions. The footage of the trailer was created during the Student Conservation Expedition in the West Arctic.
Student Conservation Expedition in the West Arctic
Language: English | Duration: 00:11:22 Resolution: 640x480 Author: Karl Schiebe Camera: Robert Morgenstern, Karl Schiebe
In July 2008 students from the Gwich'in community of Fort McPherson and students from Saxony (Germany) went on a joint Conservation Expedition to the Snake River in Canada. Karl Schiebe - one of the students from Saxony - has created this documentary about the expedition.
In summer 2007 nine students from the Gwich'in in northern Canada visited Germany. The visit was the first part of the Student Conservation Expedition to the West Arctic in 2008. The Gwich'in presented their cause for conservation of their traditional lands to the German public and to schools. They learned also about the history of German industrialization and nature conservation and got a deep insight into a country that has hardly any wilderness left. The Gwich'in were accompanied by a team of filmers from the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network. The film has been repeatedly broadcasted nationwide on Canadian TV.
