You are invited to attend: ENGANGERED 13 a curated mural project to raise awareness of endangered species (Sunday 10th April 2016, Acroyd Drive, London).

Produced by artist Louis Masai and Human Nature, the environmental art platform, 13 artists will take on a 120 metre stretch of railway arches in Tower Hamlets, London; painting 12 murals and creating a miniature sculpture trail.


“With ENDANGERED 13 we’re uniting many creative minds, building a community around an ever increasing global concern: the environment. Each artist will bring their own approach but we are united in calling for change. We want to see these species rise in number and their natural habitats saved within the next ten years. It’s one of the most critical issues for our generation.”

According to the International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) there are currently 23,250 species listed as threatened (critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable). Adding extinct and extinct in the wild species the figure is 24,153. It’s widely predicted that as many as two-thirds of all species could be near extinction by the end of this century. But, some are now rising in population due to increasing concern about the extinction crisis. Co-ordinated conservation efforts include the protection of natural habitats and prevention of destructive practices such as illegal hunting.

The project is being made possible with the support of The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park and Montana Cans. ENDANGERED 13 will be completed on Sunday 10th April (midday-7pm) and available to view ongoing.
