If you just see a documentary that shows beautiful, untouched forests, animals living wild, untouched lives, you tend to think, “Well, everything is okay.” But everything is not okay.
Dr Jane Goodall, conservationist

At 80, Dr Goodall still works every day raising awareness about conservation. Since the 1960s, when she started working with chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, she’s witnessed their numbers decline.Dr Goodall believes it is imperative for documentaries to reflect the idea that nature is not pristine, but is in peril.‘If you just see a documentary that shows beautiful, untouched forests, animals living wild, untouched lives, you tend to think, “well, everything is okay.” But everything is not okay. Documentaries teach you to love, but then they need to give you a little wake-up call as to what you can do to make what you love continue.’Dr Morgan Richards is a researcher who has analysed the message of wildlife documentaries. Her book Wild Visions: The BBC and the Rise of Wildlife Documentary is soon to be published.‘Historically, wildlife documentaries have not been very good at representing environmental issues and, particularly, controversial issues,’ she says. ‘Things like climate change have really stayed out of the picture.’Read more: According to Dr Richards, there are a number of reasons wildlife documentaries avoid environmental issues. To start with, there’s a strong audience expectation for wildlife documentaries to show increasingly intimate and detailed shots of wild animals.‘They want to see herds of migrating wildebeests shot from helicopters in high definition. We want to peer into termite mounds and see inside the dens of polar bears. So there is this ‘spectacularisation’ of wildlife footage that limits the extent to which environmental politics have been able to be explored in the wildlife genre.’There’s more at play than simply audience expectations, though. The dynamics of the documentary market have a strong influence over the style of the genre, which has developed a format known as the ‘blue chip format’.‘It’s named for its ability to sell well in international television markets,’ says Dr Richards. ‘The key feature of the blue chip format is that it frames animals in a pristine wilderness. They carefully exclude things like people, nearby villages, any aspects of human culture and habitation, urban environments.’‘The point here is that if there are no telegraph poles or houses or people in the background then you can more easily cut footage together and ensure that you’ve got these great fantastic shots of animal behaviour.’Dr Richards says television networks worry that audiences will switch off if the format veers off this path, and uses David Attenborough’s films as an example.Attenborough is one of the greats of the genre and has committed his life to education and conservation. However, he hasn’t always included environmental messages in his documentaries. Often, the message is left to the very end of a series, as was the case in his stunning 2002 series The Life of the Mammals.At the end of the final episode, Attenborough turns to the camera and speaks about the need to control the human population in order to conserve the environment.Though he didn't dwell on the message, it was still controversial. The documentary was co-financed by Discovery Channel, which wanted a different version of the ending which didn’t imply the need for contraception to curb population growth. Discovery also requested changes to Attenborough’s 2011 Frozen Planet. The network initially rejected the final episode, in which Attenborough warned of the dangers of climate change. However, the story was leaked to the press and the network was pressured to broadcast the original episode in the US.‘Broadcasters are very attuned to environmental politics,’ says Dr Richards.Watch: Often wildlife documentary filmmakers, the people behind the cameras, are passionate about conservation. Steven Mills has made many documentaries, including the award-winning 1994 film Tiger Crisis. 'The loss of wilderness is a truth so sad, so overwhelming, that to reflect reality it would need to be the subject of every wildlife film,’ he writes. ‘But of course, this would be neither entertaining nor ultimately, dramatic. So it seems that as film-makers we are doomed either to fail our audience, or to fail our cause.’Dr Richards says wildlife documentary filmmakers are aware of the politics of the conservation message in their films but also the challenge of making entertaining films with a message while avoiding over-saturation of the market.‘You can’t just tack environmental politics onto films. I think the real challenge is to explore it in an interesting way and to really get at the politics of an issue.’One of Dr Richards’ favourite examples of a wildlife documentary that is both entertaining and informative goes back to 1987: the highly successful Australian production Cane Toads, directed by Mark Lewis.‘He looked at the complexities of the issue, and in doing that, what he showed us is that environmental politics is the stuff of culture.’‘I think if you can make an environmental wildlife film that’s watchable, that’s half the challenge.’

Vi måste vara beredda på decennier av politisk turbulens i regionen,parajumpers jacka dam, och vi måste vara redo att under decennier ge stöd till det långsiktiga arbetet att bygga demokrati.

commodities has fallen by its most since late April. I don't know any facts that have not been disclosed to the market. Painted walls are a more practical choice over wallpaper,pjs, given the use of the room,parajumpers coats, and choosing a waterproof finish will make it easier to wipe down the walls,[url=http://www.xn--stsjllandsharmonikaorkester-zlc13c.dk/venner/venners.asp?id=parajumpers-sweater-sverige-leather-for-cheap-lady-toronto-brown-2]parajumpers sale[/url], should any wet coats leave muddy residues.

Physical shops do not have such a good market for this type of service,parajumpers coats, as consumers go by sight to a large degree when physically shopping.
