SUMMARY:The Big Biodiversity Challenge 2024 (Western Cape)
DESCRIPTION:The Western Cape Environmental Education Friends (WCEEF)\, together with members CapeNature\, SANBI\, Nature Connect\, SANParks and the Two Oceans Aquarium\, is thrilled to announce a new competition for children in grades 6 – 9. \nThe competition calls on students to submit projects that offer solutions to any of the many threats facing biodiversity. These solutions can take the form of a scientific project\, creative arts project\, or social project.

Participants will have the chance to win exciting prizes. \nAll students in grade 6 – 9 are encouraged to participate\, and it is recommended that teachers motivate their students to enter this competition and become part of the movement to protect biodiversity.
