I was in Mexico City and passed by these beautiful life-sized, sculptures of wildlife from all over the world. This is a part of an Animal Celebration initiative to raise awareness about the destruction of native habitat and the need for their protection.
Each exhibit has a sign next to it that reads - "Sálvame" (Save Me). Animal Celebration is a great idea and I hope other cities follow suit. The sculptures will be available for display until November and will be visible on the central Paseo de la Reforma. They will eventually be auctioned off with the proceeds going towards the Wildlife Fund.
