Big Biodiversity Challenge 2026

The Western Cape Environmental Education Friends (WCEEF), together with members CapeNature, Western Cape Government, SANBI, Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), Nature Connect, SANParks, Working on Fire, the City of Cape Town and the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation, announces the return of its flagship biodiversity competition for learners in grades 6 – 9.

The competition invites learners to submit innovative action-based projects that address the diverse threats facing biodiversity by not only proposing solutions, but also trying, testing, or putting their ideas into practice. Entries may take the form of scientific investigations, creative arts pieces, or social initiatives. Participants are encouraged to develop practical, nature-based solutions that advance environmental protection while supporting human wellbeing, and to demonstrate how their ideas have been put into action, tested, or applied in response to a real biodiversity challenge.

The competition is open to all schools in the Western Cape, and entries may be submitted either individually or in groups. Participants will have the opportunity to win a range of exciting prizes.
