Featuring Ms. Green Choi, the painting ecologist and the representative of MEET GREEN, the video introduces how art and illustration can be an effective tool for communication, education, participation, and awareness, also known as CEPA.
Ms. Green Choi is a bird and nature lover, she brings illustration, bird research and ecological education together to introduce birds and nature to people in a friendly way. In the video, she introduces the Songdo tidal flat and Black-faced Spoonbill to elementary students from Songdo through her illustration. Through the class, Ms. Green Choi explained how the Songdo tidal flat has been internationally recognized as an important breeding site and what it means to have Black-faced Spoonbills visiting the region. Then the class was followed by the discussion on the characterization process.
MEET GREEN, the Center for Bird Watching Culture and Contents production, is working on the 522 Project. The 522 Project introduces each species of birds visiting RO Korea as a character.
