Sanna's Garden: Animated Animals Teach Kids about Conservation

Create an entertaining, gentle and educational children's series using the medium of stop-frame puppet animation. The series will introduce children to a cast of animal characters indigenous to the Succulent Karoo, and will be focused around a garden they build to protect the endangered plants of the region. The aim is to change perceptions of the Karoo as a dry barren area often perceived as empty and of lesser worth. This project aims to prepare the pilot episode in a series that will be marketed to local broadcasters and distributed free of charge to schools.
