Description: Splendid use of colour supporting the forms and their value, creating a proposal loaded with meaning. The drawing shows an adequate and rational use of water in a spring environment. This connection is manifested through lush vegetation that benefits from bees collecting nectar from flowers to produce honey, also contributing to the preservation of human health and ecosystems.

Conservation of Biodiversity

Conservation of Biodiversity

Created by: Li Manming.. Huayuankou Primary School, Zhengzhou, China.

Description: In my painting, I draw plants and animals like birds, fish, mammals, etc. There are creatures in every corner of the world, no matter whether we can see them or not. They are living in the forest or in the sea, influencing and depending on each other. However, some creatures have become extinct, and we need to protect the homes of animals and plants together. One hand in the picture holds up a green mountain, which means the protection of nature requires effort from each of us. Protecting biodiversity is everyone's responsibility. Only in this way can man and nature live in harmony.
