From United Press International:
DURBAN (ANP) - DURBAN, South Africa, Aug. 30 (UPI) — This year’s Roscar awards in South Africa for wildlife movies included a memorial award honoring filmmaker Rick Lomba, killed on location by a Bengal tiger.
Nicky Lomba, the filmmaker’s 18-year-old daughter, presented a statue of a hippo Wednesday to Evert van den Bos of Nature Conservation Films, based in Holland and Tanzania, for his movie about a woman who saved the street elephants in Thailand, the Durban Daily News reported Thursday. Van den Bos’ work also earned a rhino Roscar — the wildlife equivalent of an Oscar — for best environmental-conservation campaign film at the Durban Wild Talk Africa conference.
