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.

In Mongolia, the Kazakhi name for Snow Leopard is "Elvis." These elusive animals have come under increasing pressure in recent years as their territory shrinks and human populations increase. Mongolian nomads hunt them for their hides (which can be worth thousands of dollars on the black market) and will often kill leopards in order to keep them away from their livestock. Many films have been made about the plight of the snow leopard but this is no ordinary animal behavior flick! Meet Charles and his wife Ann who journeyed to Mongolia along with their one-year old son seeking the snow leopard on the adventure of a lifetime . . . and in the process, discovered so much more.
