Several local and international corporations, following their lead, pledged $50,000 each for the documentary series under a program called Giving Nature a Voice<\/em> that is administered by the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Journalism in Nairobi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The films have influenced local and national policies in Africa said Michael Meyer, founding dean of the school, who spoke about the program along with Firoz Rasul, the university\u2019s president and filmmaker Andrew Tkach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s simply an honour for us to be able to empower Africans to protect Africa through these films and partnership with the Aga Khan University, said Carolynn Beaty, Director of Granting of the Sitka Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe teams are not only creating award-winning films that are chronicling beautiful, tragic and hopeful environmental stories, but they are also trying to influence policy makers and leaders who can create long term change,\u201d said Beaty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
