This morning, members of TckTckTck and CAN joined 2000 Durban students in creating the world’s largest human lion on the beach. Their goal? Urge leaders at COP 17 to have the courage to create a breakthrough agreement that will ensure a safe future for young Africans and people all over the world.

The clear stars of the event were the more than 2000 students from Durban schools (Addington Primary, Hartley Primary, Wembley Primary, Vumukhule Primary, Embonini Primary, Tholisu Primary, Sawela Primary). TckTckTck Board Chairman and Greenpeace chief Kumi Naidoo attended and made a short speech, while international aerial artist John Quigley photographed the lion from a helicopter above Addington Beach.
