In conversation with Dr George Schaller On Tuesday 12 October there was a buzz at Wildscreen Festival HQ as delegates gathered for the session 'In conversation with Dr George Schaller'. Celebrated as one of the greatest conservationists and naturalists of all time, George Schaller provided a fascinating insight into his remarkable life and career. George captivated delegates with inspiring stories of his ground-breaking work and adventures over five decades, studying some of the world's most charismatic animals. George stressed how vital it is to work with local communities to gain support for the conservation of endangered species, particularly in developing countries where people may not be aware of the huge importance of the rich diversity of wildlife on their doorstep. "I found the Wildscreen Festival highly illuminating and I gained great insight from films and film producers about the making of documentaries. The public discussions raised important conservation issues and the responsibilities of the nature film industry. Above all, it was for me an enjoyable and stimulating experience of making new contacts, meeting old friends, and viewing fine films." Dr George Schaller      Play all 5 videos Play all(5)
The Sir Peter Scott Debate The Sir Peter Scott Debate is the Wildscreen Festival's prestigious keynote event, held in honour of Wildscreens co-founder. The 2008 motion was People must be kept away from endangered animals. The speakers looked at the complex issues surrounding the twin objectives of protecting both human and biological diversity. It considered the importance of finding ways of establishing partnerships between conservationists and local people, the problems that arise when such partnerships fail, and asked whether or not there are inherent conflicts of interest between the goals of biodiversity and cultural diversity. Valmik Thapar (India), outspoken tiger conservationist and Will Travers (UK), CEO of the Born Free Foundation, argued for the animals; Professor Bill Adams (UK), Cambridge University, and Mary Mavanza (Tanzania) of the Jane Goodall Institute argued for the people. The debate was chaired by Dr Cristián Samper, Director of the Smithsonians National Museum of Natural History.      Play all 5 videos Play all(5)
