“Fate of Our Earth” documentary series is a collaboration between The Wadi Environmental Science Centre and Prince Alwaleed American Studies Centre – AUC, to raise awareness about BIG global issues that affect us, to start analyzing and discussing ways by which we can understand and maybe solve these issues.

The documentary Series is a lead up to the World Environment Day 2010 Celebration in Egypt that will take place on the 5th June 2010 at Al Azhar Park.
