The challenge

New mayors' inboxes were overflowing, making it hard to get them to register sites for the IUCN Green List.

The idea

Town halls received faxed posters drawn entirely in characters, which print clearly on fax machines and use little ink. A QR code on each fax led officials to a page to start registering local forests, lakes, rivers and coasts.
