Current Projects

Editing the documentary "Blood of the Amazon". This film is a timely look into the oil industry and the effects it has on the most biodiverse area on Earth and the indigenous people who live there. For more information see http://www.bloodoftheamazon.com



UK Festivals

Nicola will spend the summer speaking at a number of festivals in England about her work in Ecuador and also how each of us can make a positive difference in the world.



Mycoremediation

4 years ago Nicola founded a project in Ecuador and brought together an amazing group of scientists to trial Mycoremediation. This is the use of fungus to break down pollutants, including hydrocarbons. This has huge potential in cleaning up the massive contamination left by the oil industry in the headwaters of the upper Amazon.

You can view her latest film on the subject  "Solution to the Pollution"  on line at http://blip.tv/file/2548737

We have been getting some great results but much more work is needed.

Articles have been written about the project all over the world including a CNN/TIME video report.
