A Man in the Forest

A forest ranger named Chen Yimao has lived in the Hainan Province Rainforest in China since 2005. He works to monitor and protect the Hainan Black-Crested Gibbon. The Hainan Black-Crested Gibbon is one of the world's most endangered primates and is the least studied of the gibbon species. There are only 22 Hainan Black-Crested Gibbon remaining and all live in Bawangling National Nature Reserve of Changjiang County.

Jury comments:
"From China, this work signifies the more global development of this form of storytelling. The story itself utilizes the universal elements; a strong central character whose story is told in an intimate and sympathetic way, an environmental issue highlighted through that character' s concerns, a nice use of video and photography to create a solid visual narrative, excellent graphics and a certain sense of humor in parts."

Location

Hainan Province Rainforest, China
