The screening was opened by WWF-Indonesia Director of Climate and Energy Program Fitrian Ardiansyah and a member of Board of WWF-Indonesia Executive Board Rizal Malik.

""I'm sure this film can be our inspiration....I'm concern about our ocean with its small islands. They are susceptible to climate change...After watching this, i expect we all can start to do something together, take part actively saving coral reef and protecting marine ecosystem, consume seafood wisely, and many more things to do,"" said Fitrian.

""Oceans 3D"" takes viewers on a voyage through, among others, Californian kelp forests, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and Roca Partida Island off the coast of Mexico, which is home to thousands of sharks.

Guided by a sea turtle, viewers will witness some of the most unforgettable scenes of life beneath the waves ever captured: the manta ray’s enchanting ballet, the noble procession of hammerhead sharks; the lionfish’s relentless hunt; dolphins playing algae-soccer; the astonishing beauty of the Spanish dancer sea slug and leafy sea dragon; and an exceptional encounter with the largest cetaceans on the planet.

Besides inspiring public to protect its fragile ecosystem and inhabitants through Ocean World 3D, WWF also showed documentation of Earth Hour 2009, the work of Ahmad Moentaba.

From facebook, there were 300,000 supporters declaring their commitment to switching their lights off. I expect next year, we will be able to reach 1 million supporters, 2 millions, or even 3 millions,"" Rizal Malik concluded his specch.
