Nature Matters! Contest extended to March 14, 2010
Mar 05, 2010
Environment Canada wants to know “Why is nature important to you?”. Tell them in a written essay or video, and if you're a Canadian citizen or permanent resident between the ages of 9-35, you could win one of six grand prizes.
The contest is in support of the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity and aims to help raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity.
You can get all the contest details here: English Français
If Woodland Caribou were eligible to enter, I would say that nature matters to me because it provides food, shelter, protection, and LIFE for not only my species, community, and family – but for all forms of life on this planet. Without it, there would be no living world be it natural, social, or economic.
If you’re eligible for the contest, I encourage you to enter it. If you’re not, leave a comment here about what nature means to you because I would love to hear it.
