Hello,
Ecological Society is happy to announce its first documentary film production, *SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN KONKAN* .
The film is a part of the *PROJECT Coastal 2.0 study* conducted by Ecological Society recently to create a holistic and sustainable approach towards intertidal conservation. (Report available with Ecological Society office)
As part of the findings of the report, this film promotes responsible tourism in Konkan, a region whose ecological well-being was very close to the heart of late _Shri Prakash Gole, founder of Ecological Society_ .
Though the film talks about Konkan, the principles underlined can be applied by a tourist to any location they visit.
Please *WATCH, THINK* and let the thought *PERCOLATE* deep within before you rush to forward it to potential viewers.
We would also welcome honest comments and suggestions for picking up the next topic for a film under the banner of Ecological Society.
Happy viewing!!!
