Painting biodiversity

Three days ahead of the International Day of Biodiversity (22 May), the Greens/EFA organised a symbolic action in the European Parliament within the framework of their 2010 Biodiversity Campaign. Greens/EFA MEPs contributed to a collective painting representing biodiversity and made by local artists. 

A group of local artists made a huge painting representing biodiversity and Greens/EFA MEPs left messages for biodiversity on the painting.

This event aimed at raising awareness to the protection of biodiversity a few days ahead of the International Day of Biodiversity and a few months ahead of tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 10) to the UN Convention on Biodiversity to be held in Nagoya (Japan) in October 2010.

See below pictures of the action :
