Education films for Indonesia

• Being an Internationally recognized photographer
  and cameraman doesn't make Alain Compost forget
  about his commitment to help save the endangered
  Indonesian wildlife. He has created an
  educational film series called Alam
  Indonesia di Ambang Kepunahan . The films are
  aimed at creating awareness among the populations
  living around the Hot spots of Indonesian
  Biodiversity. Without the people understanding
  and support, conservation efforts will fail so
  these programs can facilitate the work of the
  Government and the NGOs in the field.
• The first episode Orangutan supported by
  Paneco, is used as an awareness tool in Sumatra
  and Borneo .
• The second episode Babirusa supported by the
  Singapore Zoo is being distributed to the
  Babirusa eating communities in North Sulawesi
  and has been broadcasted by local TV networks .
• The third episode Elephant also supported by
  Paneco is in post production and will be released
  in July.
• The plan is to continue the series to cover as
  much as possible endangered Indonesian wildlife
  species.
