The New Giraffe Interactive Sculpture
The New Giraffe Interactive Sculpture

Dear Supporters,

We are delighted to share that the initial planning phase of this project has now been completed, and we have officially entered the detailed planning stage for the interior exhibit area.

At the same time, we are finalizing the last elements of the exterior works. Following the successful planting of the Red Forest, as reported previously, we are now in the final stage of constructing the memorial wall near the entrance to the Noah’s Ark structure.

We are also pleased to announce the installation of a new interactive giraffe sculpture. This engaging feature allows visitors to move the giraffes using specially designed levers, offering a fun and family-friendly experience. Viewed from below, the long necks and heads of the giraffes appear to peek playfully out of the ark’s windows—adding a whimsical touch to the site.

Thank you for your continued support of this project. We look forward to keeping you updated on further milestones in the near future.

Construction has begun!
