Hope in a Changing Climate

In his award-winning documentary, John D Liu depicts the restoration of China’s Loess Plateau through a programme of erosion control, demonstrating the rehabilitation of a large-scale damaged ecosystem. Local people are involved in bringing the barren area back into sustainable agricultural production, lifting themselves out of poverty and reducing the effects of climate change.

The film portrays functional and dysfunctional ecosystems around the world using broadcast video from Kenya, Ecuador, Bolivia, Borneo, Guyana, Europe and the USA.  John presents a way forward for humanity and the planet that aligns human enterprise with ecological principles and suggests that there is a way to address such issues as biodiversity loss, desertification, human-induced climate change, poverty, disparity, war and migration.
