In 1970, rich and biologically diverse forests blanketed 90 percent of the Guatemala's Petén region. Now, half of the Petén's forests have fallen prey to the devastation of unmitigated development. At this rapid rate of destruction, short-term prospects for the Petén reveal little more than scant and degraded forests. Is this the future of the Petén? Are there other paths to follow? Filmed in the heart of the Maya Biosphere Reserve, "Between Two Futures" explains the challenges to protecting natural resources in the Petén and outlines current conservation initiatives. Featuring exquisite images of the Maya forest and moving interviews with the people of the Petén, this documentary presents economically feasible and ecologically sound development options for the future of the Petén.
