There is a dearth of audiovisual education and awareness material on the environment in general and on the nesting leatherback turtle in particulart in Trinidad and Tobago. The project addressed the acquisition and distribution of 200 video cassettes of a 45 minute documentary entitled 'An ancient species - a struggle for survival', produced by a local media company, to schools, Government agencies, NGOs/CBOs and other stakeholders. The documentary includes a segment on UNDP SHD and GEF Small Grants Programme.

Copies of the documentary were presented to representatives of schools, CBOs, NGOs and Government agencies by the UNDP Resident Representative at a UNDP function on June 2 in commemoration of World Environment Day 1998.
