Daniel Carter - Action Agent, DeforestAction

= About this video =

This is my video application to become a Project Leader in Project Borneo 3D, a feature documentary to be produced by award-winning Virgo Productions. Project Borneo 3D will be filmed on location in Sintang, Indonesia on the island of Borneo.

Borneo is legendary for its biodiversity, rich culture and massive jungles. What is not so well known, however, is the untold pace of development - so fast and so uncontrolled (much of it illegal) that Borneo's and thus the world's natural heritage is disappearing before our very eyes. Not only that, but the rights of indigenous people groups of both Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo are being trampled on in the process.

Human beings have created the problem, but there is hope, and it lies in the youth of the world today.

Together, we can make a difference. Also, It'd be nice if you could vote for me ;)

Are you a sceptic and think this is all too far-fetched? For some food for thought, watch "Green":
