The Playas - Reflections of Life on the Plains
In an effort to raise awareness and conservation of these vital wetlands, the Playa Lakes Joint Venture produced the film, The Playas - Reflections of Life on the Plains, in 2006 which is now available on DVD or VHS. The 30-minute film illustrates the values of playas to wildlife, water and people, threats to the wetlands and how people are working to conserve them. The film features sweeping aerial footage of playas captured by hot air balloon and interviews with playa experts, biologists, landowners and community leaders throughout the six-state playa lakes region. The film is available for purchase for $5.95 to cover shipping and handling.
The film is also viewable online via YouTube.
