Now released: PBS TV ‘Wild Hope” documentary about EcoMinga and Ecuador’s constitutional “Rights of Nature”

Last year biologist Sean Carroll’s television production company, Tangled Bank, began filming a series of TV documentaries focusing on positive nature conservation news.The producers chose us as the subject of their first program. The film crew were great professionals and we really enjoyed working with them. The program is now being shown on PBS, the US public broadcasting network, and is freely available on the PBS YouTube channel, linked above. It first talks about Ecuador’s unique constitution that explicitly recognizes the rights of nature. Then it focuses on our recent work in northwestern Ecuador, where we have conflicts with mining companies. Hope you enjoy it!
