So it is important to protect and protect

mangroves.!

• "The more we chase and beg them, the more they step all of us"

• "When you feel troubled, you're like an island. Yet the island is still fresh and beautiful and blossoming. Giving life to plants and flowers. It gives me a new perspective. My life is not so troubled, so difficult and challenging"

Also, in "Detroit Hives", my favorite sentence is:

• "I think it's definitely important for people who belong to their community to try to rebuild it"

Another thing giving back to people and community and understanding the science.

I think the perpetrators have government support hence threatening natives with jail

1. I could empathize with the narrator's frustration on being powerless in dealing with Cambodian's dire situations of land mining. It was well delivered through the sheer contrast between Cambodia's lost natural land and Singapore's artificially made botanic park, "Lost World," where the beautiful flowers blossom and the playful dinosaurs hang out. The narrator's genuine and hopeful voice to call for an action to make changes on the outrageous laws, which put the Cambodian people and its future in a bind, should be heard loud and clear to many more people around the world.

2. Why did Cambodian government not discard the law on land mining? What kinds of agreement have been made between Cambodian goverment and Singaporean government?

In as much as these is done to build our roads, rail and bridges, it's done in unsustainable manner. As citizens, we see the rot. Buy keep quiet because the powers-that-be are awfully ruthless.

Major projects are basically multi-national push and export oriented, of in-ward looking. Cambodians suffering from Singapore progress can best be fought by Singaporeans voicing their disapproval for such inhumane projects.

A case here, is the boycotting of Kenya-made products by the Occident when they learn that modern-day slavery and land alienation is suffered by the natives.

The irony of these Kenya's hunters and gatherers is the fear of being displacement in the much hyped Climate Change mitigation and carbon credit craze!

Ogiek honey is unique. It is traditionally produced in the Mau rain forest complex, a globally recognised key biodiversity area and largest remaining indigenous montane forest in East Africa, which is also considered one of the five water towers of Kenya.

I have these three questions which I feel is very important to have your answers please. My questions are as follows:

“The film highlights the profound connection between the indigenous communities and the natural environment they inhabit.”

 1. Can you share some specific examples from the film that demonstrate this deep-rooted relationship and how it is being threatened by external forces?

“One of the central themes in the documentary is the concept of 'the lost world,' referring to the gradual disappearance of ancient forests and the traditional way of life of the indigenous people.”

2. What are some of the key factors driving this loss and what can be done to preserve these vulnerable ecosystems and cultures?

“The film provides a powerful visual representation of the daily lives and struggles of the indigenous communities featured.”

3. Can you elaborate on the filmmaking techniques or creative approaches used to effectively convey the experiences and perspectives of these communities to the audience?

 “Detroit Hives” a film directed by Palmer Morse and Rachel Weinberg, tells the story of Timothy Paule and Nicole Lindsey, a couple who transform vacant lots in Detroit into urban bee farms, promoting urban renewal and environmental sustainability.

My Question is:

1. What inspired Timothy Paule and Nicole Lindsey to start Detroit Hives, and how has their initiative impacted the local community and environment in Detroit?
