COMMUNITY CINEMA -
THE ISLAND PRESIDENT
Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed is confronting a problem greater than any
world leader has ever faced - the literal survival of his country and everyone
in it. His is the most low-lying country in the world, and a minor rise in sea
level would literally erase it from the map. Despite the modest size of his
country, Nasheed has become one of the leading international voices for urgent
action on climate change.

It’s a Party for the Planet!
Celebrate Earth Day, conservation and nature at the Phoenix Zoo.
Water – Use It Wisely (including Mesa conservation staff) will be joining in
on the fun once again with our fun-in-the-sun duck float trivia contest.
Children young and old can test their water know-how, then take home one of our
“oh-so-cute” ducks to float in the pool or bathtub to help remind them to use
water wisely every day of the year – not just on Earth Day. Visit us at the
Harmony Farm section of the Zoo. Don’t worry; we have a lot of cool stuff for
the “big” kids, too. See you there!
