DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Globalisation cannot be interrupted by anyone and is renewing itself every day. For a developing nation like ours, this is necessary. But advancement and growth in the name of globalisation does rise a concern in our minds if this is harming mother nature and affecting our habitats? Development induced displacement has impacted many levels of community-based society like ours. The kittle and kin of displaced communities that once co-existed with nature for their livelihood are now faced with a big dilemma and left wandering like flocks of birds migrating for their survival and identities. The sight of this unstable livelihood is overwhelming and I, as a human, would wish that development of any kind would have the sensibility to protect the essence of communities like ours and coexist sustainably with natural habitats.
