What makes this film an important addition to the American Conservation Film Festival?
This film is about how we can use cutting edge tools to plan multi-use conservation areas. I think that’s important because we need to include people in conservation solutions, and make allowances for people to continue using an area rather than just setting it aside as untouchable.
