Present 'Stories of change' and the voices of local and indigenous communities working to regenerate their ecosystems and to strengthen community cohesion through enhancing their traditional knowledge and practices.

The Sheka Forest Story - Wisdom from the Past, Resilience for the Future has been produced by ABN and Gaia's partner Melca Ethiopia. The film follows the story of the indigenous clans and local community working with the local government to protect and preserve their beautiful biodiverse Sheka Rainforest. The film shows the power of collaboration and reminds us that it takes everyone to protect a forest, but only a few to destroy it.

Reviving our Culture, Mapping our Future tells the story of a special gathering of indigenous leaders from Venda (South Africa), Altai (Russia) and the Colombian Amazon, and a training in eco-cultural mapping of Venda territory. You can view this film in Spanish, Portuguese and French, or watch a longer version of the mapping process by visiting our second vimeo channel vimeo.com/channels/abntranslations
