Memorial to the Sixth Extinction

This international ideas competition challenges designers to envision a memorial to the Sixth Extinction—the ongoing global loss of biodiversity driven by human activity. Unlike traditional memorials that commemorate human achievement, this competition asks participants to create a place of reflection that acknowledges humanity's impact on the natural world and confronts the ecological consequences of habitat destruction and species extinction. Memorials may be proposed at any scale and in any location, encouraging creative interpretations that inspire environmental awareness, remembrance, and responsibility.
