1600 Pandas World Tour

Taiwan

 

An innovative art exhibition that brings out the issue of endangered species in Taiwan through pandas

 

The large-scale collaborative public art project between the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Paulo Grangeon was introduced. With city marketing and wildlife conservation combined, the exhibition toured the landmarks and 40 elementary schools in rural areas around Taiwan with the papier mâché of 1600 pandas and 10 local endangered species. Drawing 3.5 million visitors, it even made it on Time Magazine. Through corporate and public sponsorship, all the proceeds from the sales of exhibits were donated to NGOs in support of the local conservation efforts in Taiwan.
