OTROS DOCUMENTOS RELEVANTES

Plantation Trees and Water Use
This documentary is a GeaSphere / EcoDoc Africa collaboration. Plantations use significant amounts of water and South Africa is an arid country. In this documentary Arthur Chapman from One World Sustainable Investments (previously CSIR) takes us on a tour and shares with us the background of seventy years of hydrological research in the Jonkershoek Valley and how the paired catchment experiments work, and how much water trees really use. The intention of the documentary is educational, and to be used as a platform for further discussions.

  • "Pulping the future" - Solo disponibles en inglés
    Monoculture timber plantations have taking over the escarpment regions in South Africa, where grasslands are rapidly disappearing. Produced by Philip Owen from Geasphere and filmed by Deidre May, various environmental activists contest the timber plantation model due to the adverse impacts on the water supply, biodiversity of plant and animal life and livelihoods of rural people. Alternative land use models are also discussed.
