Less than a year ago Unesco published a short animated film Learning to protect biodiversity on popular video sharing website. As the name indicates the video theme is biodiversity; what is buiodiversity, why is it important and what is the role of education in the process of biodiversity conservation. Because we found the video to be an interesting mwthod of raising awareness, we decided to prepare Slovenian subtitles and we share it with wider public. Unesco accepted our suggestion and MTV Slovenija offered help with distribution. From today on video is on MTV TV programme three times a day. Scheduled is for 11.55 am, 2.50 pm and 6.50 pm.
