Rota documentary to be aired on Channel 2

Posted on Jan 19 2012

By Press Release

A new documentary on Rota’s Talakhaya Revegetation Project will be featured on Jan. 25, 2012, on Channel 2 at 6:30pm and 8:30pm.

The Talakhaya Revegetation Project was implemented in 2006, where community planting efforts were greatly increased to reduce impacts of decades of deforestation by illegal burning.

The 14-minute locally shot and produced documentary highlights the challenges they face with burning and soil erosion, revegetation efforts of the community, and the project successes throughout the years to help reduce sediment from running off of the land and polluting adjacent coral reef ecosystems. The short film will air immediately following Channel 2’s evening news programs.

Funding to produce the film and run the Rota DLNR headed revegetation program came from the U.S. Coral Reef Initiative.
