In this 25-minute documentary from UNESCO and CI, viewers are introduced to five Latin American biosphere reserves: La Amistad Biosphere Reserve in Costa Rica, Maya Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala, Beni Biosphere Reserve in Bolivia, Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, and the new Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve in Brazil.

Through a creative blend of landscape photography, dramatic nature shots, and on-location interviews, these reserves are described by local people--farmers, biologists, teachers, park guards, community leaders, and others--whose personal stories demonstrate that, through a well-run biosphere reserve, human needs can indeed be reconciled with conservation in the tropics. The documentary is not another story of destruction but a testimony of success and hope.
