This is a 10 min excerpt of the art films shown in the exhibition "Ashes and Snow" by the Canadian artist Gregory Colbert. His artwork which shows humans and wild animals in a very crazy intimate context, such as a kid on a sleeping elephant, is not just eye-candy. Gregory Colbert is on a mission:
He’s founding Animal Copyright and the Animal Copyright Foundation. The foundation will collect 1% of all media buys that use animals, and will distribute these funds to conservation projects around the world. “Corporate poachers” who don’t use Animal Copyright will be shamed by bloggers, the media and others if they don’t display an Animal Copyright symbol.
Interesting idea. This would get to the root of the problem, namely that the value of nature and wildlife is currently not integrated in our monetary system. And for those, who don't care about the environment in real life, maybe they DO care what they see on TV. Television without nature and animals might get boring after a while.

I don't know if we have discussed it before, but Jeff and I got to see Ashes and Snow in Santa Monica. We have the DVD if you ever want to see it. Absolutely beautiful! Hugs!
Stunning. I'd love to see it on a big screen.
