Gillie and Marc are committed to raising awareness for endangered species and getting people to experience these creatures up-close and begin to care about them through art and their platform Love the Last.
In order for Love the Last to be a successful social movement people need to be empowered to action positive change in order to improve the future of the world’s endangered animals. For there to be more of these amazing animals, we need there to be more brilliant humans who will spread the message far and wide and do all they can to ensure their survival.

We Are One
Gillie and Marc’s passion for wildlife and conservation lead them to immediately accept their invitation to paint one of 45 public sculptures as part of Taronga Zoo’s Wild Rhino exhibition that ran from February to April in 2013. The exhibition introduced 45 Rhino sculptures to the streets of Sydney, each of them adorned with an artistic flair from a local artist. All profits from the auctioned sculptures went to Taronga Zoo’s Rhino breeding and conservation programs. Their contribution focuses on the nature between humans and animals; as zygotes in the womb all animals (including humans) look the same. Gillie and Marc also wanted to draw attention to the estimated figures that annual Rhino death rates will soon overtake their birth rates.
