About the Grevy's Zebra
The Grévy’s zebra (Equus grevyi) is the most endangered of all zebra species, native to the semi-arid grasslands of northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia. Distinguished by its narrow black-and-white stripes, large ears, and white belly, it is the largest of the zebra species and adapted to survive in dry environments where water and vegetation are scarce. Historically, Grévy’s zebras ranged widely across the Horn of Africa, but their numbers have drastically declined due to human activities.
Today, only about 2,000 individuals remain in the wild, making the Grévy’s zebra critically endangered. Its population has been severely reduced by habitat loss, competition with livestock, poaching, and droughts that limit access to water and grazing areas. Conservation programs in Kenya and Ethiopia focus on community-based wildlife management, anti-poaching patrols, and habitat restoration to protect the remaining herds. While these efforts have slowed the decline, the species’ survival still depends on sustained conservation action and protection of its fragile ecosystem.
How to Help
Inspired by animals that Gillie and Marc met on their travels, we invite the public to discover and interact with these beautiful creatures up close and personal – this allows audiences to connect, take photographs and share their favourite species with friends and family.
With more exposure comes more awareness and builds on the love we already have for animals around the world. With love comes a greater sense of urgency to create a change and save all endangered animals.
The sculpture will be aligned with the hashtag #GillieandMarc and #LoveTheLast to raise unparalleled awareness about the sculpture’s cause across the globe.
