In semi-arid Africa it is conservation that can actually create sustainable development. Water and soil conservation provides farmers with the environment to create livelihoods by creating oases in semi-arid lands that can support water and food security. Arguably, the communities we are working with are doing far more to reverse the impacts of climate change than any of us in the West. They deserve our support, not just because they struggle to sustain their lives, but as global citizens concerned with the future of our planet."</p> <p>To see more, please go to <a href="http://tv.oneworld.net">tv.oneworld.net</a> </p> <p>These films were produced by Globell Media -- www.globellmedia.com </p> <p>A DVD of these films, along with the full length feature documentary is available from</p> <p>http://www.excellentdevelopment.com</p> </div> <a href="/blog/4966-walking-on-water-an-excellent-development-film">Watch the video</a>
