Hotspots Soundtrack (2008)
Synopsis
This expeditionary feature film looks at numerous primates, avians, rodents, insects, reptiles, amphibians, unique plants, and human cultural artifacts, some never before filmed. While stylistically incorporating behind-the-scenes realities of conservation film making itself, the feature is driven by an analysis of representative key critical habitats throughout the world most in need of conservation efforts; of techniques that are working to save the most number of threatened, endangered and vulnerable species and genera; and the future outlooks for numerous regions across the planet where there is a good likelihood that well-tuned science, community conservation, government commitment, and informed philanthropic choices can make all the difference. Rare lemurs, plants, and chameleons in Madagascar; the last few endemic shrub and reptilian species on Easter Island (Chile); extraordinary primates and avifauna in Southeastern Peru; primates verging on extinction in three states of Brazil; some of the rarest and most unique birds, bats, and reptiles on earth across, New Zealand; and subtle as well as flagship species of birds and mammals in California, are all part of this two-hours feature film.
