RACINE, Wisconsin, 16 de outubro de 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A SC Johnson anunciou hoje que os recursos arrecadados com seu desafio de compensação de hectare por hectare de 2017 serão empregados na maior iniciativa de recuperação de áreas degradadas na Amazônia brasileira. Por meio de uma parceria firmada com a Conservação Internacional (CI) no início deste ano, em apoio ao filme de realidade virtual Amazônia Adentro, a SC Johnson convocou o público a proteger 10.000 acres (mais de 4 mil hectares) da floresta amazônica com uma campanha de compensação de hectare por hectare.

"Com uma fábrica instalada em Manaus, no coração da floresta amazônica, levamos o problema do desmatamento como algo pessoal e temos o compromisso de ajudar a proteger esse recurso tão essencial para as próximas gerações", afirmou Kelly M. Semrau, Vice-presidente sênior de Assuntos Corporativos Globais, Comunicação e Sustentabilidade da SC Johnson. "Temos orgulho de direcionar os recursos obtidos com nossa campanha para ajudar a CI e seus parceiros a darem início a esse impressionante esforço de reflorestamento."

"Um novo capítulo está sendo escrito para a Amazônia brasileira. A Amazônia é nosso maior patrimônio e é vital para o bem-estar das pessoas, não apenas no Brasil, mas em todo o planeta. Proteger a Amazônia não é algo que devemos pensar para o futuro – precisamos fazê-lo agora" diz Rodrigo Medeiros, vice-presidente da CI-Brasil. "Temos um desafio, mas estamos trabalhando em parceria com a SC Johnson e outras organizações, conectando nossos diferentes objetivos para atingir a mesma meta: proteger a Amazônia."

A campanha angariou doações de todos os 50 estados dos EUA e de 31 países pelo site da Conservação Internacional. Os recursos arrecadados ajudarão a CI e seus parceiros a concretizarem a maior iniciativa de restauração florestal em florestas tropicais do mundo. Avaliado em milhões de dólares e com seis anos de duração, a iniciativa, que é o resultado de uma parceria entre a Conservação Internacional, o Ministério do Meio Ambiente, o Fundo Global do Meio Ambiente (GEF - Global Environment Facility), o Banco Mundial e o Rock in Rio, vai recuperar 73 milhões de árvores na região da Amazônia brasileira até 2023. A iniciativa também ajudará o Brasil a avançar em sua meta, firmada no Acordo de Paris, de restaurar 12 milhões de hectares até 2030. 

A SC Johnson, o desmatamento e o Brasil

A SC Johnson atua no Brasil há mais de 80 anos. Nesse período, a unidade de produção da empresa em Manaus atingiu status de zero resíduos para aterro, um protocolo estimado para manter quase 91 toneladas de resíduos fora dos aterros sanitários brasileiros anualmente. Na década de 1990, a SC Johnson contribuiu para a proteção de duas reservas no bioma da caatinga brasileira. Desde então, como parte do trabalho e das contribuições da empresa para a Conservação Internacional, mais de 40 mil hectares de terras foram conservados, a grande maioria na região da Amazônia.

A família Johnson tem também um antigo vínculo pessoal com o Brasil. Em 1935, H.F. Johnson, Jr., líder da terceira geração da empresa, comandou uma expedição na Amazônia em busca da palmeira de carnaúba, cuja cera era o principal ingrediente dos produtos da empresa na época. Em 1998, o líder da quarta geração, Sam Johnson, e seus filhos, inclusive Fisk Johnson, o líder da quinta geração, repetiram a histórica expedição realizada por H.F. Johnson, Jr.

Amazônia Adentro

Amazônia Adentro é um envolvente filme de realidade virtual que permite aos espectadores experimentar a maravilha da Amazônia pelo ponto de vista dos indígenas que habitam a região e são essenciais para a sua proteção. O filme, que já atingiu mais de 700 mil visualizações em todo o mundo, destaca as razões por que a humanidade precisa da Amazônia para sobreviver, desde o seu papel como a maior bacia hidrográfica do mundo até o fato de que suas árvores absorvem carbono e ajudam a regular o clima. O filme foi selecionado para ser exibido para plateias internacionais em eventos como: Festival Sundance de Cinema, South by Southwest, o GreenBiz e a Assembleia Geral da Tropical Forest Alliance no Brasil.

Vivencie a maravilha da Amazônia em realidade virtual e 360 graus online no site http://www.conservacao.org.br. E quem tiver equipamentos de realidade virtual pode apreciar a poderosa versão em realidade virtual pelo aplicativo JauntVR.
