about the creator
High-school student Adam Dhalla created Motmot when he noticed the lack of information on the sustainability of businesses in the Vancouver area. He had been active in the environmental community locally for years before, taking photographs of wildlife and speaking about the importance of bird conservation.
With the help of Ocean Wise’s YouthToSea program and TakingItGlobal’s #RisingYouth grant, Adam created and designed the motmot.ca website, survey as well as the mascot.
What is a Motmot?
Motmots are family of bird that exist throughout central and south America. They made an impression on Adam on a photography trip in 2018 to Costa Rica – where he saw them on a sustainable coffee plantation, which what first sparked a connection between sustainability and business.
