Art jam with the awesome painters in kk.. Vanishing.. Humanity’s greed and hunger for development has led us to sacrifice our precious forests. Our ecosystems have been ruined. Extinction for many species is a concern as more and more animals are losing their homes.
We are only artists. We know we cannot change much in the grand scheme of things. But we do what we can - make art. We want to spread awareness through art - about the beautiful and endangered animals of Sabah.
On the mural, you will notice that all the animals are running away from an evil businessman at the red end of the wall towards the unharmed green forest on the left. I gathered talented Sabahan artists to work with me on this masterpiece with a powerful message. - kenji chai

We are pleased to share that 13 giraffe have been successfully introduced to Majete Wildlife Reserve in Malawi for the first time! These giraffe travelled 2,500 km by truck, over three days, from South Africa to Malawi. They were monitored throughout their historic journey to ensure the safety of all of the animals, and were fully assessed before being released into Majete - where we are happy to share they are all doing very well . This translocation couldn’t have come at a better time, as just last Wednesday, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species announced the worrying news that several giraffe subspecies are now Critically Endangered. But these giraffe have found a safe haven in Majete. These 13 giraffe follow a host of other animals who were reintroduced to Majete over the years - a total of 2,900 animals from 14 species including elephants, rhinos, lions and buffalo. Today, these wildlife populations are thriving and have grown to more than 12,000 animals who currently living within the reserve – with not one rhino or elephant having been lost to poaching since their introductions in 2003 and 2006. The restoration of Majete would not have been possible without the support of the local communities. And now, they have an opportunity to come and see giraffe for the very first time, living safely in the park that they themselves have helped to protect. This translocation effort was undertaken in partnership with Giraffe Conservation Foundation and the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, with additional support provided by the Sundaram Family.

Majete’s restoration was made possible with the critical support from partners including The Wyss Foundation, WWF-Belgium and the People's Postcode Lottery, with additional support for the translocation provided by Illovo Sugar and Nkhanga Essential Support Services, Mozambique’s Administracao Nacional de Areas de Conservacao (ANAC) and Markus Jebsen.

Malaysia is blessed with one of the most amazing ecosystems in the world. I grew up learning about so many animals. To me one of the cutest is still the — ELEPHANT 🐘💕 Do you still remember what was your favorite animal growing up? Many of them are getting endangered now, and their numbers are decreasing. 😞 Let’s do our part and pledge not to cause further harm to our precious wildlife that we grew up learning about. 🤝 I pledge to support the conservation of our endangered animals by reducing wastage and creating a smaller carbon footprint. Everyone please visit @maxis website to check it out, as they will be donating RM1 for every pledge that the public makes.
