For Immediate Release
Paradise Earth Team Visits Belize and Panama and Offers Free Video and Photos Online
The team behind the Paradise Earth rainforest habitat project in the greater Phoenix area recently traveled to Belize and Panama on an information-gathering mission. The results, including photo slideshows and video, are being offered for free to the public online at www.ParadiseEarth.com.
Phoenix, Arizona – April 8, 2008 – David Calvin’s Paradise Earth team recently traveled to Belize and Panama to gather information for the three-phase Paradise Earth project: the website (www.ParadiseEarth.com), the 165,000 square foot rainforest habitat and educational center being built in Arizona, and the Paradise Earth TV series. In line with the Paradise Earth mission of both conservation and education, the team has published video footage and photo slideshows of their travels on the website, freely available to the public.
“Educating the public about the world’s rainforests is really the first step to encouraging conservation,” says Char Mandarich of the Paradise Earth Media Team and the Mandarich Media Group. “We had the opportunity to document species that most people won’t ever see for themselves. The team wants to share these images with the public to help raise awareness as well as to simply share some of the Earth’s most beautiful creatures.”
Rainforests are disappearing across the globe, despite the growing popularity of living “greener” lives. The Paradise Earth team is making this photo and video collection available to educate the public about what they’re actually losing. Available resources from the recent trips to Panama and Belize include photo slideshows of the butterflies of Panama and the Kuna Indians of the San Blas Islands, and a video diary filmed daily by Calvin in Panama.
While in Panama, Calvin visited with Bill Laurance of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Laurance participated in a video interview, which is also now available on the Paradise Earth website.
The site is also currently featuring “The Story of the Rainforest,” a collection of articles about how rainforests work, the biological richness and diversity of rainforests, and more from pre-eminent rainforest expert Thomas Lovejoy.
The team’s website videographer, former NFL player Tony Mandarich, will offer site visitors a rare glimpse at a species of bird very rarely seen – the Cock of the Rock. The video will soon be added to the Paradise Earth website.
The Paradise Earth team includes:
David Calvin – Founder and TV show co-host
Craig Allison – TV show co-host
Glenda Skalitzky-Zaborski – TV show producer, Goodwitch Productions
Char and Tony Mandarich – Paradise Earth Media Team, Mandarich Media Group
Jason Shane – Bird expert
