#NatureForAll 30x30 Art Contest

We invite students from around the world to imagine how the Earth will look like if 30% of land and water is protected by 2030. Using these art sheets, draw your vision of a better, greener or bluer, place, and help promote the 30×30 goals as adopted under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Then, upload your art on to this padlet (see image for instructions) and share your vision with the world.

A selection of submissions will be showcased at an exhibit at the IUCN World Conservation Congress, from October 9-15 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Beatriz Padilla

“I am an activist painter, a wilderness ambassador, an artist irretrievably in love with Earth’s flora, fauna, substrates and cycles. Out in the wild, quiet and fairly still, creatively immersed in nature for hefty continuums of time, my communion with the multiple dimensions of each habitat gains in depth as I endeavor to render homage to its millenary evolution and present-day significance, portraying its particular expression, its unique character, its sounds.” – Beatriz Padilla
