Countdown to Copenhagen

In December 2009, leaders from across the world will meet in Copenhagen to establish a new climate protocol to succeed the famous Kyoto protocol (which the U.S. never signed). The outcome of this meeting will likely define the international stance on climate change and global warming for the coming decades. Not to get ahead of ourselves this year . . . but we at TERRA think this is the most important approaching environmental milestone of 2009 and the foundation for earnest change is already beginning. So, with this global spirit in mind, let's kick off the new year with some great environmental films and a newly-announced collaboration with the United Nations to continue bringing you fresh content from around the world. Don't change that dial! We've got an amazing slate of films for you in 2009 . . . a year that will be remembered for new beginnings based on sustainable values.

Where do we fit in the world? Are we part of nature or separate? If we are not part of nature, how do we explain the connection we feel with animals? If we are part of nature, why do we sometimes bring discord? At the Beartooth Nature Center in Red Lodge, Montana, the impact of humans is abundant. The main characters consist of wild, and not so wild animals, and Don, the Animal Care Manager who has adopted the animals into his family. Most of the animals are at the center due to human influence and none can ever be returned to the wild. However, it is the influence of another human, Don, who brings comfort and love into their lives.
