Become a part of the Climb for Climate Action: Kilimanjaro documentary
Four leading conservationists, one mountain, and the only chance to save the glaciers through climate action!
- (1888PressRelease) June 09, 2015 - World renowned conservationists Dr. Andrew Steel, Dr. Ian Singleton, Ian Redmond OBE and Abbie Barnes joined to climb the Uhuru summit of Mount Kilimanjaro on the July 2014 to highlight the changes caused by the shifting temperatures.
Climb for Climate Action (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1172480522/climb-for-climate-action-kilimanjaro) follows their journey to the highest point in Africa, with just five years before the iconic glaciers have completely melted. They come into contact with the wildlife that relies on the current climate to survive, and meet the local people that depend upon the glacier-fed rivers to get through their day-to-day life. But all of their livelihoods are now threatened by the climate change. Across the seven day climb conservationists tackle altitude sickness, oxygen deprivation and a near six kilometer vertical ascent in order to send out just one message - climate action must take place now!
PATT already shot the documentary, but needs your help for post-production costs, for this reason they started the Kickstarter campaign. They aim to screen the documentary at the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP21 in Paris in December 2015, which aims to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, with the goal of keeping global warming below 2°C. So, the documentary will play a really crucial role in these negotiations. They also plan to submit the documentary to the film festival "Green Unplugged", and distribute it in USA.
In return for your support PATT prepared some unique rewards - from the goodies associated with apes and trees to the special sponsorship packages! Check them out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1172480522/climb-for-climate-action-kilimanjaro
