Watch for Impact: Stories that Regenerate
5 Episodes
We’re continuing the momentum with a new chapter of Watch for Impact that highlights the Indigenous communities who played a central role at COP30 and serve as frontline guardians of biodiversity. This series features new films alongside platform favorites that celebrate their wisdom and knowledge — and once again, every minute watched will plant and protect more trees in the Southern Amazon.
During COP30, WaterBear partnered with explorer and storyteller Levison Wood and the NGO Re:Wild to launch the first Watch for Impact campaign, where every minute watched planted and protected one tree in the Southern Amazon. With exclusive daily interviews and real-time impact features, our community powered the planting and protection of 5,000 trees.
This is storytelling that doesn’t just inspire — it regenerates.
