SAVE TIBET!   With  a Panda  Bear!
 
From our Museum,  to “Emmen goes Eco” upcoming  Festival!*
The Giant Panda is so endangered that the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) chose to use a picture of the animal as its logo. Although the Panda’s historical habitat, range falls mostly in Tibet, the Chinese government calls the Giant Panda one of China’s national treasures, and has used the Panda as the focus of several of its major publicity campaigns. Tashi Norbu is creating another outdoor sculpture.  This will be a Giant Panda Bear, made out of plastic waste to bring awareness about Tibet’s  environment and global ecology too!
 
Attention recyclers: We collect plastic for an art project!
During the next Emmen goes Eco in April 2020, Tibetan artist Tashi Norbu will be creating a panda bear of 2.5 meters high from plastic waste thus drawing attention to the global plastic waste problem.
