Filming of documentary was like making feature film for him. It was always gripping plot in each of his product, a complicated environmental science explained in a simple, straight but stunning manner. And like a film from Hollywood or Bollywood, the titles of his films were equally inviting. One of the better-known and gifted environmental film producers is no more. Robert Lamb breathed his last on 12th February in UK after a battle with cancer that he fought bravely.
Five Unique Aspects of TERRE
Technology cooperation and transfer including the best practices and processes would be the key to appropriate transformation to the sustainable life style. Energy efficiency improvement, energy from wastes, renewable energy, crop protection, land and water restoration, safe disposal of wastes and community empowerment are the eight important strands of activity. TERRE links with national, regional and global resources, institutions and experts to assess needs and deliver specific support with the aim of supporting remediation and restoration objectives though appropriate technologies and policies. - Education is a means to capacity building to induce appropriate actions. Knowledge and Information on preventive and remedial measures are the tools for the civil society to take action in a timely manner. As information is fundamental to action, TERRE enablesuse of information through knowledge management.
- Research in governance and policies is TERRE’s primary activity based on the good practices followed for centuries by some communities and governments. TERRE engages the experts around the world to cull out the traditional as well as cutting edge thoughts and actions that promote development without degrading the environment.
- Rehabilitation would be the need of the time as 60% of the world’s natural resources are already degraded and many have reached points of no return. Such situation would need careful rehabilitations and solutions to adapt to the changed world. TERRE provides value added information and technical support to existing initiatives without duplicating others effort. Efforts are made in leveraging the technology for remediation and restoration purposes.
- Environment of our only home – Earth –is at the core of TERRE’s unique efforts. The most important strength of TERRE is its work based on reality checks and pragmatic approaches proven through piloting and demonstrations. The concept that environmental protection and development are on the same side of the game is TERRE’s founding principle.
