The Asia-Pacific Broadcasting
Union (ABU) Voyage to the Future 2007 project will film a TV program
about schoolchildren, aged 12 to 16, going on a ten-day expedition to
study Mongolian grasslands.
The project aims to create
awareness of the earth's natural resources, filming the current state
of the environment for future generations. Students taking part are
from Japan, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Qatar, Thailand, Mongolia, Korea
and Malaysia.
The expedition will visit the
areas of Yunsch, the Khustai National Park and Duganakhad, where participants
will get to study the Mongolian steppes, the day-to-day lives of Mongolian
nomadic people, the wildlife and the restoration process of the deteriorating
grasslands.
Co-organized by MNB-Mongolia,
the expedition will be filmed in HDTV and made available to television
stations from participating countries for a nominal fee. These include
NHK-Japan, CCTV-China, VTV-Vietnam, Aljazeera-Qatar, NBT-Thailand, MNB,
EBS-Korea, TVB-Hong Kong and RTM-Malaysia.
"We hope the young participants
will bring back with them a continuing curiosity from this experience
about conservation issues in view of the fact that preservation of our
natural environment is as crucial as ever," said Tatsuya Nakamura,
Director of the ABU Program Department.
