Our Impact

Creating Change Through Science, Storytelling and Education

At Rescue The Planet, we believe that lasting conservation begins with understanding.

Every expedition we undertake, every documentary we produce and every educational program we develop is designed with one purpose: inspiring people to protect the natural world.

For more than a decade, we have worked alongside scientists, educators, communities, governments and conservation organizations to transform environmental challenges into stories that educate, inspire and create measurable action.

The impact we measure goes beyond numbers. It is reflected in the people we reach, the partnerships we build and the future generations we help inspire.

Education

Turning Stories Into Learning

For us, education does not end when the credits roll.

We believe that documentaries should become educational tools capable of inspiring lasting environmental action.

Through school screenings, workshops and the Rescue Rangers movement, Rescue The Planet has reached more than 75,000 students , helping young people better understand the environmental challenges facing our planet and empowering them to become part of the solution.

Building Educational Resources That Last

To maximize the educational impact of Plasticósfera, Rescue The Planet developed a complete series of teaching resources that transform the documentary into a classroom learning experience.

These include:

  • Curriculum-aligned teacher guides.
  • Classroom activities.
  • Student worksheets.
  • Discussion guides.
  • Environmental action exercises.

The downloadable materials were developed specifically to align with the official educational standards of both Guatemala and Honduras, making it easier for teachers to integrate environmental education into their regular curriculum.

Rather than creating a documentary alone, we created an educational ecosystem that continues inspiring students long after every screening.

Science That Inspires Action

Every story we tell begins with evidence.

Our expeditions work alongside researchers and conservation organizations to better understand environmental challenges and communicate them to broader audiences.

Our scientific work includes:

  • Ocean expeditions studying microplastic pollution.
  • The scientific expedition behind Plasticósfera.

Science allows us to understand the problem.

Storytelling helps society care about it.

Recognition That Expands Our Impact

Recognition has never been our goal.

But when our work is recognized internationally, the stories we tell reach more people, inspire more action and help bring greater attention to the environmental challenges our planet faces.

Our documentaries and educational initiatives have been honored by leading organizations and international festivals that celebrate excellence in conservation, storytelling and environmental education.

Plasticsphere

Our first feature documentary has received multiple awards and official selections at international film festivals, recognizing its powerful combination of science and storytelling to raise awareness about plastic pollution.

Beyond the screen, Plasticsphere became the foundation of an educational program that has reached more than 75,000 students through curriculum-aligned teaching resources developed for Guatemala and Honduras.

World Summit Awards (WSA)

Rescue The Planet received the World Summit Awards, one of the world's leading recognitions for digital innovation with social impact, honoring our educational and storytelling approach to environmental conservation.

The award recognizes how science, media and education can work together to inspire meaningful action for our planet.

Mayan Forest in Check

Our newest feature documentary, Mayan Forest in Check, was recently nominated for the prestigious Wildscreen Panda Awards, widely regarded as one of the world's highest honors in natural history and wildlife filmmaking.

The Panda Awards bring together many of the world's finest wildlife productions, including documentaries from organizations such as National Geographic and BBC. This nomination places Mayan Forest in Check among an exceptional group of international conservation films and reinforces our commitment to using cinematic storytelling to protect one of the planet's most important tropical forests.

LOOKING AHEAD

The Greatest Impact Is Still Ahead
