French sculptor Paulo Grangeon used an unlikely medium to bring attention to the reality of animal endangerment across the world. For his traveling exhibit, “Pandas on Tour,” he created 1,600 paper-mâché bears meant to represent the actual number of pandas left on the planet (recent estimates actually place the number slightly below that, at 1,596). Launched in 2008 in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund, Grangeon’s project has traveled to landmarks in more than 20 countries, including the Eiffel Tower. I think this project is very bold and sends the point across to the viewer immediately.
