Wild Coffee - Saving Southwest Ethiopia's Mountain Rainforest WCC-PFM Project

The film follows the fortunes of two people and their communities in southwest Ethiopia involved in the Wild Coffee Conservation by Participatory Forest Management Project. This seeks to protect the rainforest and its precious genetic resources from deforestation whilst making sure that local people can earn a living from some of the non-timber forest products such as coffee and honey to be found in the forest. From picking the wild coffee cherries to finally getting it to market for a record price, the film shows the challenges they face, the beauty of the forest and how participatory forest management works.
