Each passing year, large cities become more populated and polluted. This ongoing urban growth generates extreme pressure to expand into protected areas and lands, thereby reducing their territory.
This produces a serious reduction in environmental services generated by these green spaces such as lack of water, more air pollution, loss of wildlife, increased flooding, and many others.
Each year, more than 500 hectares of forest are lost due to forest fires, encroachment, change in use of land and illegal logging.
LOS LEONES NO SON COMO LOS PINTAN ® is an international design contest that rewards the graphic, artistic and creative talent of its participants.
The competition is open to students, graphic designers, publicists and anyone who is interested in graphic arts.
Every year, a social or environmental issue is selected as central theme for the contest, as a way of supporting organizations that focus on the selected issue.
