Protection of orchards in monasteries & Loal Community Participation in Agro -biodiversity Protection on Kurpie Plain?- films
Project aims in production of 2 films based on 3 projects implemented up to now by SIE:POL/02/08 "Local Community Participation in Agro-biodiversity Protection on Kurpie Plain", POL/03/22 "Biodiversity in farmer's gardens and POL/04/28 Biodiversity- Protection of orchads in monasteries.1st film will be descibing a complex interventions in Kurpie Plain, area of exetnsive, low-income,poor agriculture.GEF/SGP projets were bringing knowledge about genetic resources of animals and plants, rejected by industrial agriculture, but offering a chance for valuable local products based on pro-ecological farming, traditional knowledge. Projects were bringing old, forgotten values in traditional village behaviour (social links,self-help, self-organisations ideas and practices) enabling preservation of valuable cecosystems.
2nd film will be produced sepaartely because of specific character of places (monasteries) where tradition and history is coherently linked ; modern agricultural practices were brought to poland starting from XII century by monks of various clauses; GEF/SGP project is trying to document and preserve biodiversity of old orchads in monasteries.

Project Characteristics and Results
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
Interviews with Dr Elzbieta Martyniuk and Dr Wieslaw Podyma from the Ministry of agriculture and Rural Development, FAO experts and national coordinators for genetic resources of animals and plants in agriculture are bringing a wider perspective of GEF/SGP interventions in Kurpie Plain.
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
This area of extensive, por farming proved that conversion into ecological farming and special breeds and old vaieties of fruits can become a local product filling a certain niche on the market, can generate extra income and can bring back old social links of self-help, self-organisation, forgotten values in the past 50 years.Agro-biodiversity - unknown term 10-20 years ago -is emerging here and through positive examples - better understand and accepted.
