I was knee-high to a grasshopper, walking along with one grandparent in each hand through Ciutadella Park towards Barcelona Zoo. I could spend hours watching the animals. Decades later I felt that same hypnotic attraction in Serengeti National Park, where hundreds of thousands of them live and pass through as they migrate. If I close my eyes I can see them against Tanzania's red horizon - one of the most amazing shows I've seen in my life.

Our handpainted animals are in honour and gratitude to every organisation in the world that fights day after day for their conservation.
