Series of short comedy sketches

l’Homme Rouge et l’Homme Vert


Series of 3 short comedy sketch videos

L’Homme Rouge et l’Homme vert is the fruit of a collaboration between Sancta and Hommes et Terre – a multinational agency that performs large-scale ecosystem regeneration in the Sahel. The restoration approach of Hommes et Terre is based on a tight collaboration with local communities. They believe that only local communities have the power to truly restore their ecosystems, as they are the ones that live in them. To motivate the local communities they work with to commit to their restored lands and the protection of their growing forests, we made short comical films about l’Homme Rouge (the Red Man) – who does everything wrong – and l’Homme Vert (the Green Man) – who shows how everything should be done. 

Each video is about a different topic, such as grazing or logging and mowing. L’Homme Vert is adored by the entire village, while everyone mocks l’Homme Rouge. People like these examples and aspire to be like l’Homme Vert. These comical sketch videos are therefore an effective approach to motivate people to take care of the forests in the right way.
