Jaguar Parade is an open-air art exhibition of decorated jaguar statues. It is an art installation with a purpose: to raise funds and awareness about the urgent need to conserve jaguars and their habitats.
Dozens of jaguar statues will be placed in the New York City’s streets and parks, drawing the world’s attention to the importance of biodiversity conservation. By the end of the exhibition period, the statues are auctioned and 100% of net proceeds will be donated to jaguar conservation efforts.
