This short documentary tells the story of the Amani Butterfly Project in the Eastern Usambara Mountains of Tanzania. The forests there are world famous among ecologists for their high biodiversity, but they are threatened by human impacts. Local residents have begun farming butterflies as a way to provide much needed income while also providing an incentive for maintaining the high biodiversity of the forest.
