The Aral Sea story

I did this for a final project in my international relations class. I'm quite interested in Central Asia and the Aral Sea region, so I did this to teach people a little bit about what's happened there in the past 50 years. This story really shows how much of an impact humans can have on the environment in a very short time. It's an important story to tell, but I've found that few people really know what's going on. Imagine if what North America would be like if both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario disappeared. Well, that's the amount of water that the Aral Sea has lost. To learn more about the Aral Sea and current efforts to bring it back: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea http://visearth.ucsd.edu/VisE_Int/ara... http://earthshots.usgs.gov/Aral/Aral http://unimaps.com/aral-sea/index.html http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/2270... The music is: "The Iron Sea," by Keane (awesome band with beautiful music- go buy their stuff asap!) Sorry about the font, btw. It turned out really shitty when I converted the video. Someday I'll get better ar video making.
