Making Ends Meet
World Service Radio Series
Natural
Resources Institute - Monica Janowski

This
4-part series of 15-minute programme, made as a collaboration
between the BBC and the
Natural Resources Institute
with funding from DFID
and the BBC, looks at how communities in remote places make
a living and how their lives and livelihoods are connected
to those of people in the rest of the world. It draws on projects
researching livelihoods in these communities.
The communities featured are: a Lipoveni community in
the Danube Delta in Romania, a Lobi community adjacent to
the new Wechiau hippo sanctuary in NW Ghana, a community living
in the mountains in Armenia and a community of Buddhist nuns
in Burma.
For audio archives, photographs and further

Further information: |
Making
Ends Meet was made in 2002 and was first broadcast in August 2002
on the World Learning strand of the BBC World Service.
Linked
to the series, the Natural Resources
Institute collaborated with z360 to make draft 'virtual visits'
of the communities featured, intended for use in educational contexts.
The draft visits can be viewed at http://www.z360.com/mem.
They
consist of sequences of 360 degree panoramas with text, maps, graphics
and audio embedded in them, which a visitor can explore in order
to find out about the lives of the people in the communities concerned.
These are at an experimental stage of development and we would be
very happy to receive comments on them. Email
