A packed day with the Dodo Award press conference, experiencing wearing sarees, the Gender and Youth press conference and a lot of other things.
At 8:45 a.m. we join the CBD Alliance meeting. Then Svana gets dressed as a dodo again and I am helping her. All together wearing beaks we walk to the Hitex and spread the CDB Alliance newspaper ECO. In the lobby we get stopped by the police, which are asking for our permission. We don't have one, but for the CBD Secretariat it was okay. Some minutes later the police lets us go, but we are not allowed to hand out the ECO anymore.
At 10:00 a.m. our press conference starts. Canada and the UK are awarded for the Dodo. We as GYBN explain what the Dodo Award is in detail. The CBD Alliance brings the arguments, why those countries are nominated.
Meghan is taking the Dodo Award as a representative of Canada.
The secound Dodo Award goes to the UK.

As we walk back to the convention center, we get a lot of attention. Also Braulio Dias comes across our way and Melina asks him to take a picture with us.

The German youth delegation
As I want to bring back the saree I borrowed I meet a hugh fish.
Actually at 7:30 p.m. we want to meet the German delegation, but the meeting is suspended. So we directly go for dinner with Melina, Meghan, Maggy and Nymisha at the Paradise.

Afterwards I walk back to the hotel. And tomorrow the COP continues!
Thanks to everybody who gave me their pictures!
