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 over 80 entries from 29 countries, it was a tough decision for the 10 expert judges and the public, but the results are in … and we are excited to announce the winners of the Think Forests Video Award!
WINNER: OUR LAND
Our Land is a simple, beautiful film about the myriad ways nature supports humanity – from agricultural products to religion and spirituality. As the video explains, “Sometimes we forget to love her back. But we still have a chance.”
