Get creative and join in: Chumbe Island Coral Park’s Zanzibar art competition
featuring coral diversity in Zanzibar!
Chumbe Island Coral Park is an internationally acclaimed conservation area, hosting a fully protected coral reef sanctuary and forest reserve. As a not-for-profit enterprise, the revenue generated by eco-tourism on the island funds all conservation management and supports Chumbe’s extensive environmental education programmes with local schools and communities in Zanzibar. Operational for more than 20 years, Chumbe is the world’s first financially self-sustaining marine protected area.
Chumbe Island is organizing this competition as part of a wider community engagement initiative
to highlight endangered marine animals relevant for Zanzibar.
Competition theme: Corals
Corals are alive and very fragile animals which are related to jellyfish and anemones. They are naturally colorful because of tiny plants (algae), which live inside of the coral and provide them with food. A coral colony is made up of hundreds or thousands tiny polyps that can build large coral reefs which are home to many fish and other marine creatures. Unfortunately, corals are being threatened by human activities and climate change, that’s why many are listed endangered on the IUCN Red List.
