Film on Gobuk village conservation efforts shortlisted for tve GSFA

Itanagar, Nov 1 (UNI) A film on the conservation efforts of Gobuk village in Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Siang district has been shortlisted for the Television for the Environment (tve) Global Sustainability Films Awards, 2024, informed sources said on Friday.
The film titled ‘Gobuk - Harmony in the Highlands’, produced by Tezpur-based Green Hub fellows Stanzin Tandup and Pauzatuala Suante, with support from ‘Epum Sirum’ and ‘Titli Trust’, is one of four global films to be shortlisted in the ‘Young Filmmaker Short Film Award’ category.
The film documents the efforts of Gobuk village in the Upper Siang district to initiate steps to conserve their biodiversity and incentivize conservation through nature linked livelihoods. Gobuk recently conducted the 1st Siang Biodiversity Meet in May 2024.
Through its efforts to promote community conservation, and link it to nature-linked livelihoods through responsible tourism, Gobuk hopes to show the way for other tribes in Arunachal Pradesh, to sustainably balance nature conservation and livelihoods.
The film follows various conservation initiatives, including the work of Epum Sirum Welfare Society which works with locals to reduce pressures on forests from hunting. Titli Trust collaborates with local youth to map the area’s biodiversity and promote nature-linked tourism. It also highlights Green Hub and Royal Enfield’s joint venture, Green School, which engages local children in nature education through activities like birdwatching, storytelling, and nature trails.
The film captures the locals’ evolving relationship with nature, and the gradual shift toward conservation, responsible tourism and wildlife protection, sources said.
The tve Global Sustainability Films Awards (GSFA) recognises outstanding films from the business, non-profit, media and creative sectors that inspire audiences with real-world solutions for a more sustainable future. Now in its 13th year, the Awards promote powerful, effective storytelling that helps contribute to the building of a more just and sustainable future.
