Action Project wants you to join us as we celebrate our upcoming 22nd Anniversary
of MAP’s ongoing efforts to conserve and restore the world’s mangrove forest
wetlands.
Again, this year we commemorate those efforts via our inspiring
children’s art in MAP’s 14th annual Children’s Mangrove Art Contest for the
2015 Calendar year. Let us all use this next calendar competition as an
inspiration for both students and teachers to “set the date” to conserve and
restore our planet’s mangroves, and thus combat declining wild fisheries,
coastal erosion and climate change. Mangroves are one of our planet’s best
defenses against global warming and rising sea levels!

Annually, MAP invites
teachers and their students from around the globe to participate in an
international art contest. They learn through their participation about the incredible
beauty and biodiversity of the mangroves and the students’ attempts to depict
through their art what they have experienced on field trips to mangroves and in
classroom studies.

Children from 13 nations entered our contest last year by
answering a simple, but intriguing question: “What do the mangroves mean to my
community and myself?” As usual, it was difficult to choose from among the
beautifully crafted works of children’s art. Around 2500 children participated
from a multitude of schools located in 13 mangrove nations.

Through the
publication and distribution of these beautiful calendars, MAP recognizes the
great accomplishments of these young artists. We wish to thank each child,
their teachers and the associate non-governmental organizations that
participated and promoted the project in schools during 2014. Their good work
and dedicated efforts have helped produce yet another attractive calendar for
yet another Mangrove Year!
