Wild species hold the planet together. Now the threads are coming undone. The #ClimateCrisis is ripping ecosystems apart, sending wildlife and people spiralling. But the needle is in our hands. Are you ready to stitch the future back together? @the__Herds #WWFUntangled

Zine workshop WIP inspired by @The__Herds today @uclgrantmuseum.bsky.social… three animals to choose from: hedgehog, monitor lizard, but had to be the pangolin 💚 — will update again once the zine is finished… too many cool facts and ideas not to include!
Back @uclgrantmuseum.bsky.social for a zine workshop inspired by @The__Herds … more later, but spotted my articulated pangolin puppet has started to have some scales added and is looking awesome 😊 💚

As the #ClimateCrisis intensifies, its effects are becoming impossible to ignore. Led by a team of puppeteers, @The__Herds are journeying north to raise awareness of the climate emergency. Their path led them to Lagos, where they reached the iconic floating suburb of Makoko.
