For the record - April 13, 2011

“Survivor”: In the March 22 Calendar, an article about the environmental practices of “survivor”-style television programs in foreign countries did not make clear the distinction between shows that are licensed by Castaway Television Productions Ltd. and authorized to use its “Survivor” name and format, and other reality programs that employ a similar program structure involving physical challenges on remote islands with ceremonial tribunals that are not associated with the British-based company.

In particular, the article referred to a Colombian production, which was criticized for filming on turtle nesting grounds in Bocas del Toro in Panama in 2010. That program was produced by a different company with no relationship to Castaway or its licensees. The article also referred to complaints from locals in Panama about a mess left behind on the Pearl Islands by a Turkish reality television producer; Castaway has pointed out that the Panamanian environmental agency, ANAM, certified that the filming areas had been cleaned up to its satisfaction. According to Castaway, there have been 180 productions of “Survivor” worldwide, including 18 in the Pearl Islands, and no complaints have been registered against Castaway or its licensed production companies for environmental neglect or insensitivity.
