The World Wildlife Fund’s French section inaugurated the
exhibition in a joint project with Grangeon in July 2008 at Paris City Hall
|
For the recent Taiwan exhibition, the artist specially
created another 200 Formosan black bears in order to support wildlife
protection acts for local animals. Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌),
mayor of Taipei City, said after the birth of the Taipei Zoo's giant panda cub
there are more people aware of the need to protect endangered species. Through
the exhibition, Hau hopes that people can not only learn more about this issue,
but he hopes they will also care more about local wild animals.
The pandas surround a paper rhacophorus arvalis (carmland green tree frog) of Taiwan. |
An audience of 'pandas' has appeared in a Taiwan theatre to
highlight the plight of the endangered animals.

I was there in Taipei, it's really lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea ! Love it !!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute !!!!
ReplyDeleteWish they bring the exhibition here, it'll be great !!!
ReplyDeleteSame thoughts :))
DeleteDelightful indeed !!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative way to bring attention to endangered species. Wish I could have seen it. It looks so wonderful even in pix, can imagine if one will to witness the exhibition "live". Any idea where will this go next? Or this is the end?
ReplyDeleteNo idea where it'll go next, but definitely hope it will not end, it's really good! And it'll be great for any city to house this exhibition.
DeleteIf they bring this exhibition here, they should put it at Botanic Gardens:)
ReplyDeleteIt'll be great !
I want it to be at Orchard !!!!
DeleteI'll really welcome tis exhibition here, it'll be so beautiful !
DeleteJust wondering did any of these cute pandas went missing during the whole exhibition???? I'm sure some "fans" might be tempted to 'smuggle" one home.....lol.....
ReplyDeleteWow... I'm sure someone will be tempted- they are really cute. But what do you do with them at home? Also they are kinda big, how you smuggle them home?
DeleteBy the way , I hope no one did that ...lol....
Seriously I cant imagine this happening. Carrying a huge panda away???? Hope none disappear though ....lol....
DeleteBy the way, great exhibition, wish it comes here :))
They're made of some kind of paper or cardboard right? Looks light can just carry away....lol...
DeletePretend to be some staff, but getting into a car will be tough. You need a van. Then when you get it home, it occupies precious space & start gaining dust. After a week, you'll regret it totally & wish you haven't commit this crime....lol....
Wonder what they do with all the pandas when the show wraps up. Maybe they do give them to the staff???
DeleteDon't think they'll give them to staff, maybe burn them up. Those poor pandas :((
DeleteWhat a waste to burn them up???? they are so cute!
DeleteProbably the materials used could be recycled, especially if it's card board :)
DeleteWouldn't mind having one at home ...lol... so cute! I saw the exhibition when I was on vacation with my family in Taiwan. So lucky, right? took like thousands of pictures haha.... Ya, it'll be great if they bring the pandas here!
ReplyDeleteEnvy much, wish I was there. I went Taipei so often but never bump into such nice things :((
DeleteSeriously they should bring it here !
DeleteThought so too, it'll be so good for tourism & fun for us, especially the kids- I can just imagine my nieces going nuts ...lol...
DeleteWhat an interesting exhibition- thks for posting, never knew or saw anything like this ! Awesome !
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for visiting my blog :)
DeleteOur Tourism board should bring this exhibition here :) That's a great way to generate more interest !
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more:))
