UAE Biodiversity Diversity Stories
Dunes of Diversity
A Tapestry of UAE Life
My Zalu has been privileged to partner with Al Mawakeb Schools to empower students with biodiversity knowledge and creative expression through research, hands-on activities, and story creation. With the help and support of the school, their teachers, and fellow learners, students crafted 16 short stories on different elements of biodiversity, such as the Arabian leopard, and the mangrove tree. The book is scheduled to be published and distributed in early December 2023.
The students’ book is currently being edited and prepared for publication. The students’ stories will be translated and distributed to foster a “by young people for young people” ethos and ensure the widespread dissemination of environmental messages across schools, regions, and countries, facilitating cross-cultural knowledge exchange and promoting biodiversity awareness across different landscapes.
Overall, the partnership between My Zalu and Al Mawakeb Schools is a remarkable example of how education and collaboration can inspire and empower young people to become champions of the environment.
