The Ancient Forests

From the creator

Clip of the winner of Special Jury Award in the International Forest Film Festival. Can you imagine what it would be like to have your home torn down around you and destroyed? It's a horrible thought, but that's exactly what is happening in forests around the world. With an area of forest the size of a football field being destroyed every two seconds, endangered species such as gorillas, orangutans and chimpanzees are at risk of extinction within our lifetimes. This Greenpeace film shows all too clearly what this means. With the voices of Sir David Attenborough and Ewan McGregor and actor Andy Serkis, it is a stark reminder of what we stand to lose if we aren't able to save our ancient forests. But, there is still time. United Nations Forum on Forests wbsite: http://www.un.org/esa/forests/
