All the films were made possible with the close collaboration of the many non-governmental organisations (NGO) who are regularly involved on the ground with the communities affected by illegal logging and deforestation. If you want to find further information regarding the issues raised in these films please source the relevant information from the NGOs’ specific websites. A proportion of the funds raised in the production of this project have been donated to the community organisations featured in the five films.
