Dhaka, Apr 19 – Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom has tied up with National Geographic Channel to work on global warming.
The Rosatom and National Geographic announced their new bonding at the Palace of Neptune at Madrid in Spain on Tuesday through the launch of a new documentary series, Wild Edens, filmed in the world’s most stunning untouched places and their inhabitants–wildlife and fauna alike, endangered by the effects of climate change, said a press release.
Wild Edens is a unique project initiated by Rosatom, a leading producer of safe and clean energy, and focused on climate change and the threat it poses to the global ecosystem.
Rosatom, which engaged in Bangladesh to build a 2,400 MW nuclear power plant at Rooppor, said the project on global warming includes filming and broadcasting by National Geographic Channel of a series of documentaries describing the unique ecosystems that may disappear due to global warming, if mankind fails to curtail its carbon footprint and use clean energy.
Climate change may lead to the total disappearance of a number of species, it said adding the first Wild Edens film will center on flora and fauna in the unique natural habitats of Russia.
The documentary was filmed in a number of rugged and remote locations, including the Altai Mountains, the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the Arctic.
Rosatom said the premiere of the first film will take place at the Jubilee X International Forum Atomexpo 2018, scheduled for May 14–16 at Sochi in Russia. The documentary will then be broadcast on the National Geographic channel.
