We are excited to announce that we will be carrying out another photo contest on our app Mapting from 12-22 of May to celebrate International Day for Biological Diversity. The theme chosen this year to celebate our biological diversity is the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development.
Our photo contest will allow winners to win one of three Solar Lamp Kits from LEDsafari! Simply download Mapting, take pictures of actions contributing to SDG 14 & 15, and share them on Mapting using #BiodiversityDay and a short description of your picture!
Mapting is an app we have created with Soka Gakkai International where people can share pictures or videos to show concrete and everyday actions they take part in to help achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. People can connect with others around the world and share positive stories happening in their part of the world.
