Field Chronicles: Abrolhos from Conservation International on Vimeo.
In Brazil, 1,000 kilometers north of Rio de Janeiro, is the most divese concentration of marine life in the South Atlantic. Here, people have lived in harmony with the sea for centuries. But as in so much of the world, the balance is under pressure: from oil exploration, dredging, industrial fishing ... Despite these powerful interests, a small team of Conservation International staff have not only helped protect this area, but extend its boundaries. This is the story of their success.
