2017 Theme and Message: Nature for All ~ Loving the Earth
Inspire Love of Nature by connecting with and sharing your love of nature.

Questions | Resources | Rules | Contact

This year our theme is co-created with #NatureForAll a project of IUCN. #NatureForAll is a global movement to inspire a new generation of thinkers and doers across all sectors of society to connect with nature and take action to support its conservation. At its core is a very simple idea: the more people experience, connect with, and share their love of nature, the more support there will be for its conservation. www.natureforall.global

We are joined by IUCN CEC, IUCN RESPECC, DiversEarth, Bella Gaia, The Fuji Declaration and Goi Peace Foundation in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Peace Pals International Art & Exhibition Awards.

The artwork should be drawn and painted to express your vision and dreams of loving the earth that celebrates and inspires Nature for All.

Questions to inspire your children
What do you do to make the earth more beautiful?
What is your favorite element in Nature?
How do you celebrate Earth Day?

If young people need help understanding more about the theme, “Nature for All ~ Loving the Earth” and what #NatureForAll represents, we invite the adult community members to visit the #NatureForAll website and learn about this very important global project. Adults are asked to explain in ways the young person will understand.
