Jungle City

When walking through the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh in August, you would have come across something not readily seen in the east of Scotland.  There was a display of sculptures by Jungle-city.org who were highlighting the plight of Asia's wildlife as this quote from their website says:


'The event celebrates the magnificence of Asia’s endangered wildlife, generating mass awareness of their plight and making everyone smile at the same time. It sees a herd of life-sized Asian elephants lead a community of brightly painted orangutans, hornbills, tigers and crocodiles through the streets, parks and buildings of the world’s most iconic cities with the aim of raising £50m over the next ten years for their survival.'
Apparently these sculptures are available to buy if you want one for yourself.
