The Mangrove Action Project (MAP) hosted its 23rd annual international art contest to develop children’s understanding when thinking about the environment around them, particularly about the importance of Mangrove and Coastal Ecosystems. Seth Pillay, a Grade 5 Crawford International La Lucia Preparatory learner, submitted artwork that was selected among 13 winners to be published in the Children’s International Mangrove Art Calendar 2025 (with him being the only South African winner), and he has been selected as a Future Global Ambassador for the Mangroves! He will be appearing in a promotional video as MAP try to reach as many people as possible from around the globe. Well done Seth we are so proud of you! His contribution will surely inspire others to understand the significance of Mangroves and Coastal Ecosystems. What a wonderful way to celebrate his creativity and commitment to the environment.
