Team Forest

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Team Forest is a campaign harnessing football’s unique ability to unite people across the world – rallying everyone to show their support for the world’s forests.

The campaign film features professional footballers and stunt performers running, leaping and soaring through the forest floor, up tree trunks and across the canopy to illustrate how protecting the forest is a game we all need to play together.

Shared Homeground

So much environmental communication is built around loss and urgency. While those realities are important, Team Forest takes a different approach. By celebrating the beauty, power and wonder of forests through the universal language of football, the campaign invites people to feel connected to what they're protecting.

The Campaign

As part of this campaign, Studio Birthplace created a platform to visualise collective action. Team Forest brings together people from around the world in support of forests, ecosystems and wildlife, turning individual commitment into a visible global movement. Every new supporter adds to that collective effort.

WWF Landing Page

"It’s rare to get the opportunity to combine the world’s biggest sport with our biggest love, nature. Football has the unique ability to unite people across borders, cultures, and generations through joy and passion. With this campaign, we wanted to channel that spirit to the forests we all depend on, bringing people together through positivity and collective action to stand with nature."
