New documentary focuses on Maltese biodiversity

Waves of Life is the name of a new one-hour-long documentary on Malta's natural heritage. The Biological Conservation Research Foundation (BICREF) produced the documentary with the help of a grant from the Vodafone Malta Foundation.

It features over 150 local species, from minute sea horses to majestic whales, and goes through the issues of what biodiversity is, the increasing importance of the study and protection of species, and the importance, both locally and abroad, of survival while developing a diversity of natural resources to sustain us.

Waves of Life is a tribute to the 2010 Target to Halt Biodiversity Loss, the Accobams' partners' efforts to promote cetacean conservation in the Mediterranean, and to the International Year Dedicated to Dolphins 2008 by UNEP.
