Community-based Biodiversity Conservation Films or CBCF, a Darwin Initiative project, is run in both Kenya and Tanzania, and helps local conservationists make and edit films with local communities by explaining the importance of biodiversity to their lives and livelihoods.
The University of Leicester, in the UK is working in partnership with Kenyan and Tanzanian wildlife groups including Nature Kenya (the main national biodiversity conservation NGO, the National Museums of Kenya, Tanzania National Resource Forum, and with regional partners. In Naivasha, Kenya, these include the Lake Naivasha Riparian Association, the Koibatek County Council, the Friends of Kinangop, and the African Conservation Centre.
Purpose
To make 300+ short (5-25 minute) films that link biodiversity conservation to sustainable livelihoods of local communities on issues which are also embedded in the national curricula, in digital laboratories in two pilot countries; to disseminate these films through a regional network of existing Education Centres in each country; to evaluate the effectiveness of these films at primary/secondary school, college/university & wider community and to share the best practices globally.
Goals
CBCF has seven main goals:
1. To train indigenous young conservationists in Kenya and Tanzania to make biodiversity conservation films,
2. To make these films in partnership with local communities about issues linked to their local livelihoods,
3. To achieve 15 Film Series (collections of about 10 short films on the same theme) on relevant topics by the End of Project,
4. To distribute these films among education organisations (NGO and government) within each country,
5. To evaluate the effectiveness of digital films as a means of education and capacity-building in schools and countries,
6. To establish digital laboratories for conservation film-making in each country and
7. To produce a Manual by the End of Project, so that the process can be repeated anywhere across the world.
History
CBCF started on October 2007 and was developed from an initiative of Richard Brock, producer of BBC TV’s “Life on Earth” and “The Living Planet”, and David Harper, ecologist and conservationist at the University of Leicester, who has conducted research in East Africa’s Rift Valley for 25 years, in partnership with conservation film-makers Ben Please (UK) and Erin Moore (USA), who had experience of conservation film-making in East Africa.
