Sea turtles are some of the most magnificent creatures in the animal kingdom. With lifespans averaging over 50 years, these incredible animals face numerous threats, including poaching and plastic pollution.
June 16th is a significant date for sea turtle conservation. On this day, individuals, conservationists, and organizations come together to highlight the importance of protecting sea turtles. On June 16th, 2024, the Java Foundation sponsored an art competition during the Diani Sea Turtle Festival. This festival, organized by the Conservation Education Society (CES), aims to raise awareness about sea turtle conservation.
The art competition showcased the impressive artistic skills of primary school children from various schools in Kwale County. The competition featured a diverse array of artwork, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other creative pieces. Java Foundation was thrilled to support this aspect of the Diani Sea Turtle Festival, culminating in the awarding of the top three art pieces.
Java Foundation is dedicated to nurturing and promoting both visual and non-visual artists. Our goal is to foster the growth of artistic skills for the benefit of the artists and the communities around them.
