This weekend, the world is coming together at the UN Sustainable Development Summit to adopt the new Sustainable Development Goals. Forests contribute to almost all SDGs, which is why we asked you to make a video showing why forests are vital to a sustainable future.
With a wave of submissions from 29 countries, it was a tough decision for the judges and the public, but the results are in … and we are excited to announce the winners!
The Share Your Vision award is a prize for the filmmaker whose message most effectively engaged global audiences – selected in light of the more than 5000 comments across all entries.
WINNER: #FEELFORESTS
