@challengfuture tweeted about this article from Tree Hugger. This caught my attention since this is really a perfect way to exhibit the endagered animals in a new manner.
Sean Kenney, a renowned Lego artist, exhibited his works at the Philadelphia Zoo's Lego-made exhibit, called Creatures of Habitat: A Gazillion-Piece Animal Adventure. In this exhibit, Kenney created 34 animal-lego models for almost a year. He modeled the polar bears, endagered frogs, birds and even tamarins. And all the the lego scultptures were made up of 95,000 Lego pieces. Now that is really an impressive number. Just imagine how he put his efforts just to show the love of people in taking good care of our beloved endagered animals and to animals who are already in the midst of saying good bye to the world.
Kenney also said that he really wanted to do this because he wanted to explain the serious problems in ways that children can understand. Since the scultputres were made up of Legos, surely the attention of the children will be caught and therefore they will be aware that many animals are already experiencing great danger and so that, they can also do simple acts to save them or just even showing care to the animals around them.
This is indeed a brand new way to remind us that we need to take care of something so that the world will reamain beautiful.
"In addition to the Lego sculptures, each exhibit features a description of how the animals' habitat is under threat, and simple ways that everyone can help aid in its protection. Visitors are encouraged to recycle, avoid environmentally irresponsible products, and bicycle instead of drive when they can.

That's really cool! Nice find. I used to love lego when i was younger, I don't think I could afford that many lego blocks though, hehe.
