Description
They say laughter is the best medicine, and kookaburras have it in spades. Their laughing call is a lovely reminder to take a break, find the lighter side of life and not take things too seriously all the time. But kookaburras also demonstrate that we should work as hard as we play. Mating for life, these birds pair off and then share incubation duties of their eggs, and then share feeding and caring duties of their hatchlings. This equal partnership between all kookaburras in caring for future generations is something each of us can aspire to.

Description
Barsilinga's Story
Gunshots were heard during the evening of 13th April 2012 by the community of the Lpus-La-Mpasion area near Wamba in the Samburu tribal area of Northern Kenya. The next morning a severely wounded female Elephant, with a calf at foot, was spotted in the area. Bullet wounds in the chest area and front legs had rendered her barely able to even move, yet another victim of the ivory trade and a grizzly reminder of the suffering attached to each piece of ivory that is bought or sold. The mother's end was a painful one, full of suffering, and her calf would have been a victim too had he not been one of the lucky few rescued.

This is a sculpture that represents more than orphaned calves. This is a yearlong celebration of hope and strength for the generation who will grow up into the healthy and supported elephants of tomorrow thanks to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The future of their species in the wild relies on this young generation being strong. Strength we can all help to provide. Because by December next year, when this sculpture leaves London, they’ll have only 19 years left to defy the odds with another generation to follow. This is a sculpture for positive change. One we won’t let become a memorial.

Barsilinga is part of Gillie and Marc's exhibition - The Orphans. 

If you purchase him, 30% will go directly to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

Description
This rhino is on his way to the top! Things had hit rock bottom. His home was taken over by humans and he was constantly looking over his shoulder for fear a poacher could be hiding in the bushes, waiting to take his precious horn away. He decided enough was enough, he was no longer going to live in fear. With a little help from his friends, the rhino found a way out. Climbing high above the destruction below the rhino began his upward journey. From here it was up, up and away and he couldn’t wait to see what his new life had in store for him.

Description
Across different cultures, the pear represents fertility, wisdom, and health. The koala, the beautiful creature that won the hearts of the world during the 2019-20 Australian bushfires, is in need of this pear. Over 1000 koalas lost their lives and 80% of their habitat was destroyed in the fires, making their struggle against extinction tougher than ever. But now this koala has found the ancient power of the pear and will be able to move back into the world with added strength and virility, bringing hope and love for the entire species.

Description
Everyone loves to play Jenga, carefully removing the bricks, with butterflies in their stomachs, hoping they’ve balanced it right so the tower doesn’t come crashing down. Jenga is a Swahili word meaning ‘to build’. It’s important to build the tower with complete cohesion, each brick affecting the stability of the others. Inspired by the events of Covid-19, this sculpture looks at how we can use the lessons we have learned and apply them to create a better, kinder world. As we look to build up again, we must think of all the pieces, making sure they are all in harmony: people, business and nature. If we don’t balance all the pieces, the entire stack will fall. We must build a better world so all the animals of the world, like the rhino, can stand strong at the top of the tower.

Description
In order to fly, we often need someone on the ground who we know has our back. They’re there to encourage us to soar higher, to lift us up to gain new heights, or to catch us if we fall. These rhinos are doing just that. In a world where they are constantly hunted for their precious horns, worth their weight in gold on the black market, it is so important that there is someone on the ground to look out for them. For too long the rhino has been forced to fend for itself. But we can make a real difference, becoming the support they so desperately need and helping them to fly once more.

Koalas are marsupials, which mainly means their young are born before they are ready to live in the outside world. So when this koala joey was born, still an embryo, she would have instinctively headed for her mama’s pouch. There she would have stayed for six months, suckling constantly. When she was strong enough to survive outside the pouch and start eating eucalyptus leaves, she would have left her mama’s pouch and clambered onto her back, which is how we find this mother and daughter, making their way through their eucalyptus forest.

At the base of this totem sits a pear, a symbol for wisdom, fertility and health in cultures around the world. All three are necessary to save the world’s endangered population of African and Asian elephants. Wisdom, above all, is needed to bring about the end of poaching and habitat destruction that are at the root of the dwindling numbers of wild elephants. The alternative is that one day, our only opportunity to see elephants may be through the lens of a camera.

They’re fascinated by the fact that kangaroos can't hop backwards, a symbolic reminder that we should always be moving forward, looking for opportunities and getting excited about the future. This kangaroo family, including a little joey, represents a species that has been through so much - from habitat destruction to climate change. But yet they keep their eyes on the horizon, moving forward with courage.

Between habitat destruction and disturbance from humans, especially in the form of cars driving at high speeds, koalas have had an extremely hard time for years. Add to that the drought and bushfire season of 2019/2020, during which up to 10,000 koalas died, and the situation for these marsupials is now more urgent than ever. Thankfully, this little koala has found a respite. At the top of his ladder, where humans and fires can’t reach him, he closes his eyes and rests.

These wobbly wombats may look slow and ambling, but you may be surprised to know that, if threatened, they can run at speeds of up to 40km (25 miles) per hour! But it’s our guess that wombats like it better this way, meandering through the world, on land and in water, foraging for roots, grass and bark to nibble on. Here in this garden, surrounded by greenery and without a predator in sight, they’ve got everything they need and can relax.

Description
Koalas are seemingly solitary -  they leave their mothers once they’re old enough, live one to a tree, and only get together with other koalas during mating season. But underneath all that, koalas love to live close to one another, and form a complex network through which they can contact any family member at any time. So while koalas don’t form families in the same way we might, they rely heavily on their relatives to support and help them. Through it all, they stick together.

It should go without saying that Gillie and Marc have wild imaginations, and part of that involves imagining a future where all of us are happy and safe. This pair of koalas live in such a world. They have a wealth of eucalyptus forest to roam to pick their perfect trees. There are no highways running through their living rooms, and the danger of a high-speed car is a distant memory. Bushfire season runs like clockwork and they are prepared and away from the flames when it hits. Gillie and Marc believe this world isn’t a fantasy, but one we can all work towards for koalas and all animals.

The gorilla is a majestic animal and, as it shares 98% of our DNA, is one of our closest relatives. But our cousins are in trouble. There may only be 1000 mountain gorillas left in the wild and fewer than 3800 eastern lowland gorillas. And humans are the reason why. Illegal poaching, war and deforestation are making it harder and harder for this beautiful animal to survive. It’s up to us to save them.

Gillie and Marc have created this monumental sculpture entitled King Nyani. Nyani is ‘gorilla’ translated in Swahili. While traveling in Uganda, Africa, they became entranced by a silverback. The kindness, compassion and empathy he showed for his family made Gillie and Marc want to share the gentle side of this special creature with the world – a side that is often overlooked. Inspired by the iconic story of King Kong, the artists decided to give New York a different slant on the story. Now New York can fall in love rather than cower in fear as they see his true nature, while becoming the new champions for gorillas and their conservation.

This installation is the largest bronze gorilla sculpture on the planet and gives an interactive experience unlike any other. With his hand large enough to hold one or two people, the public can get up close and personal with this gentle giant where they will undoubtedly fall in love with him. In the movie, Kong picks up Ann in his hand to protect her. Now all of New York is invited to sit in his hand where it’s our turn to protect him.

King Nyani is the artists’ interpretation of this magnificent animal, and is intended to represent all gorillas, including mountain and lowland gorillas. He is part of the broader ‘Love The Last’ project – a social movement driven by public art to raise awareness, funds and support for endangered animals across the world, and to encourage people to take action before we lose these animals forever.

Help share King Nyani’s story through the hashtag #LoveTheLast

About WWF
For close to 60 years, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has been working to protect both people and the natural world, aiming to protect the delicate balance in which our entire planet hangs. As the world’s leading organization for conservation, WWF works all around the world, collaborating with people from all walks of life to develop and deliver innovative solutions that protect all living things – people, animals and the environment.

WWF has been working successfully on many different strategies to protect gorillas. They have established a monitoring system for the illegal trade of gorillas while advocating for nations to enforce wildlife laws more effectively and educating communities on the dangers of eating bushmeat. They have also trained and provided equipment to local authorities to help combat poaching, conducted research to monitor populations, established protected areas to preserve gorilla habitats and established and promoted ecotourism, an initiative that positively benefits both gorillas and local people. As a result of WWF’s work, mountain gorilla numbers have increased by 17% in the Virunga Mountains, bringing a species back from the brink of extinction and making it the only wild ape in the world with an increasing population. Their integrated approach to conservation has proven to be effective.

By supporting WWF you are ensuring that these beautiful creatures remain on the planet and that their habitat, which as the world’s second-largest remaining rainforest plays a critical role in mitigating climate change, survives for generations to come. You are also helping to improve the lives of local community members and ensure they are part of developing long-term, sustainable conservation solutions for gorillas.

Description
It’s hard to believe, but almost 100 African elephants are killed by poachers every day. Their ivory tusks make them a target, even with a ban on international ivory trade firmly in place. This little elephant, however, has found an escape. Here at the top of his ladder, he can keep an eye out for approaching danger and is out of the poachers’ reach. He’s patiently waiting for the day when poaching is a thing of the past, so he can come back down to live in safety and security.

Description
Hippos face danger everywhere they turn. Besides being hunted by their natural predators, they’re poached for their meat, fat and teeth, and they’re losing their habitat due to deforestation and human development. That might explain why this hippo has climbed to the top of a conveniently-placed ladder, stretching up to the sky and keeping her out of harm’s way. From these heights, however, she can also see the danger hippos and other animals are in. As she reaches a tentative foot out to his friends, she hopes for a day when all animals are safe.
