KOATI is the story of three unlikely heroes: Nachi, a free-spirited coati—a racoon-like mammal found in Central and South America; Xochi, a fearless monarch butterfly; and Pako, an energetic glass frog who embark on an exciting adventure to prevent the wicked coral snake Zaina from destroying their home, Xo.
WWF teamed up with KOATI’s producers as the film’s conservation partner, to integrate environmental messages into the film, and to create educational materials featured on the KOATI website, designed to raise awareness about the relevance of nature, and how human and planetary health are interconnected.
KOATI brings to light one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, Latin America, in a crucial moment, when more than ever we need to encourage the world to safeguard our beautiful planet and the people and animals that live on it.
WWF conservation efforts in Latin America are focused on protecting emblematic and endangered species and their habitats such as the ones featured in the film. In Mexico, WWF works with local communities, scientists, and authorities monitoring monarch butterfly populations, tracking the health of the forest where they winter, supporting productive activities such as reforestation, creating pollinator gardens, and forest management practices in the areas where millions of butterflies congregate each year to spend the winter.
In the US, WWF works with leading food companies to help rebuild natural habitats along the monarch migratory flyway, not only for monarch butterflies but other pollinators.
