Fairchild Challenge/BGCI Global Competitionintro2011

Plant Champions

2012/2012's Global Competition was inspired by London 2012! Organised by BGCI and The Fairchild Challenge, the Fairchild Challenge/BGCI Global Competition aimed to link plants to the Olympic Games by:

• encouraging students to research their country’s plant biodiversity and represent it through the creation of an Olympic wreath
• showcasing plants from around the world at London 2012 and promoting a conservation message.

The challenge was offered in eight languages. Click on each language to find out more about the challenge:
