Working On Environmental Conservation Projects Abroad updated [14:17]
Victoria Rouse from GreenFORCE speaking at Year Out Expo 2012. Victoria Rouse talks about Working On Environmental Conservation Projects Abroad. The principles of GreenFORCE came from the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The first global recognition of the urgent need to preserve the diversity of life on earth. 168 countries undertook to implement biodiversity surveys of their "at risk" regions. Section 3c states that "if the host country does not have the resource to undertake this work then an international aid organization would be invited in by the host country". GreenFORCE is one of those organisations. GreenFORCE are a member of the IUCN - World Conservation Union. An NGO in our host countries. Multiple award winner, both in country and internationally, GreenFORCE only works at the invitation of the host country, in partnership with the local people to create a sustainable and bio-diverse future. This presentation was filmed by 247 Media at Year Out Expo - the London Gap Year & Career Break Show on Saturday 14th January 2012.

Bitter, Bitter, Ayambi: a magical song against anger.mov [01:46]
Bitter Ayambi (recorded and translated from Kichwa by Tod Swanson) is a magical song meant to protect the singer from the anger of her relatives. The song works by linking the identity of the singer to that a large iguanaesque lizard called an ayambi. The ayambi works as a poignant image for an elderly lady because it has loose rolls of scaly skin that jiggle when it walks and it is almost always seen alone. Because of the magical song, when those who are angry see an ayambi their anger will be changed to compassion for the elderly singer.
