Award best film for
Water and Wetlands,
4.000€ |
The
Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and its
Mediterranean Wetlands Initiative sponsor this
Award to encourage excellence and talent in film
making addressing themes on water and in
particular on wetlands.
A Jury Panel composed of experts from the Ramsar
Convention Secretariat and MedWet, as well as
professionals from the cinema industry, bestow
the Award accompanied by a prize of €4.000
(four thousand euro) provided by the two
sponsors.
Established in 2004, the Ramsar / MedWet Award
was inaugurated in Ecocinema 2004, an
international environmental film Festival held
in Rhodes, Greece. The first recipient of the
Ramsar / MedWet Award ‘Aamakaar Turtle People’
by Surabhi Sharma, is the account of a community
striving to protect the nesting grounds of
turtles while sand-mining threatens to wash away
the coast on which their village stands.
The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, signed in the
city of Ramsar, Iran in 1971, provides the
framework for national action and international
cooperation for the conservation and wise use of
wetlands and their resources. The Mediterranean
Wetlands Initiative of the Ramsar Convention (MedWet)
is a long-term collaborative initiative for the
conservation of Mediterranean wetlands.
