Global Call for Logo Design! An Invitation from the International Mangrove Centre

TO: Designers, artists, and enthusiasts who care about mangroves

The International Mangrove Centre (IMC), an international organization dedicated to the protection, restoration, wise and sustainable use of mangroves around the world, cordially invites you to participate in the “Global Call for Logo Design for the International Mangrove Centre”. Through your creativity and design, we hope to find a logo that will fully express the vision and purpose of the IMC, inspire people around the world to pay attention to and care for mangroves, and protect our shared homeland together.

Mangroves are an ecosystem of global importance, which plays a critical role in maintaining eco-security and sustainability of coastal regions, and enhancing the capability to address climate change. On September 6th, 2023, the 62nd Standing Committee of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands endorsed the Ramsar Regional Initiative “on the establishment of an International Mangrove Centre in Shenzhen”. The IMC, with the vision to promote the protection, restoration, wise and sustainable use of mangroves worldwide, and the purpose to establish an open and inclusive international cooperation mechanism for mangroves and other adjacent coastal blue carbon ecosystems for mutual benefits and shared development, will facilitate international cooperation and joint actions for the protection, restoration, wise and sustainable use of mangroves, and strengthen the implementation of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and relevant multilateral environmental conventions, so as to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This is an opportunity for you to show your boundless love and brilliant talent. We look forward to working with you to let more people know the value and importance of mangroves with creativity and passion, inject more vitality into the protection, restoration and sustainable development of mangroves around the world, and jointly write the chapter of a bright future for the protection of our common home!
