Ecosystems restoration in benefit of the Andean Bear

Beautiful Positive Impacts

Green Initiative’s partnership with Chaska Entertainment revolutionizes the production and distribution of the animated film “Milagros, una osa extraordinária” by Restoring Ecosystems, setting new climate standards in the industry.

Our collaboration with Chaska Entertainment ensures that every aspect of the film’s creation follows sustainable practices and eco-friendly principles. From pre-production to post-production, we prioritize reducing carbon emissions, minimizing waste, and conserving resources.

By integrating environmentally conscious strategies into the filmmaking process, we aim to inspire and educate audiences about the importance of preserving our planet. Through “Milagros, una osa extraordinária,” we bring together the magic of storytelling with a powerful message of environmental stewardship.

Join us in this groundbreaking partnership as we strive to make a positive impact on both the entertainment industry and the planet. Together, we can create a brighter, greener future for generations to come.

This film is a magnificent endeavor geared to touch the hearts and minds of youth and adults. It presents the wonders of the natural world and calls for human responsibility to protect and restore ecosystems worldwide.

The film production and its distribution process will pass through Green Initiative´s Climate Positive certification cycle. A new standard for family entertainment and environmental education, recognized by the United Nations Decade Ecosystems Restoration Program and by the United Nations Climate Change Organization.

Led by Chaska Entertainment, the international distribution of “Milagros, a unique bear”  provides all partners engaged in this venture, with a unique opportunity to set an environmentally responsible benchmark for family entertainment.

The Positive impacts of the
Milagros project
to the region

Science-Based Ecosystem Restoration by planting 100,000 trees using a wide diversity of plants to safeguard the habitats of endangered wildlife species listed in the IUCN Red List by 2030, among timber species, fruit trees and palm trees, with the means of developing sustainable activities of economic value, recovery of biodiversity and reduction of deforestation, as well as contributing to carbon capture, reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, reducing the erosion of soils, and generating environmental services for the benefit of the local population.

Work with local communities to raise awareness of conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, the installation of communal nurseries.

Reforest and enrich the forest to protect the habitat of threatened wildlife species included in the IUCN list of threatened species of wildlife, such as mammals, birds, reptiles and likewise. These reforested areas act as fauna corridors to recover fragmented habitats for wild animals, and maintain, in this way, the genetic exchange.

Provide seasonal employment to local inhabitants. Each tree will be planted either by the owner of the land to be reclaimed or by a local inhabitant of the community. Giving them incentives and training and making them feel part of the solution will ensure that they protect trees in the future for the good of the planet and their own livelihoods.

Impact Monitoring

Our responsibility is to have the plants in good condition and ensure that the results are verifiable by the sponsor. In this sense, we present the coordinates of the reforested space with a map of its location.

Once the plantation is finished, we proceed to control the state of the plants and maintain them. The plants are irrigated continuously with a pump to extract water from the river and use backpacks to irrigate the plantation. Transparency and consistency: Report pages will be available to access your updated reports.

Climate Benefits
and Carbon Capture

With each group of 1,000 trees planted in a period of 15 years in the Buffer Zone of the Tambopata National Reserve will be able to capture 3,332.27 tonnes of CO² with a margin of error of ±10%.
