Planet Partners
Selvavision partners with non-profit organizations dedicated to habitat restoration around the world through monetary, volunteer and in-kind donations. Here are some of the organizations we support.
- Restore the Earth Foundation (habitat restoration along the Mississippi alluvial plain)
- GreenBelt Movement (founded by Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, tree-planting in Kenya)
- Kaminando Habitat Connectivity Initiative (protecting biodiversity in Panama)
- Friends of the Urban Forest (local tree planting in San Francisco)
Carbon Offsets
Because we sometimes must fly to a destination to attend a film festival or work with a client, and often need to haul equipment in a motorized vehicle, Selvavision offsets carbon by purchasing carbon offsets that directly mitigate carbon emissions in California through Terrapass. We also plant seagrass through Seagrass Grow! (a project of The Ocean Foundation), and we plant trees through One Tree Planted.
