Giant Puppet Animals Complete 20,000km Climate Journey to Arctic Circle | Africanews Aug 8, 2025

A remarkable climate change awareness journey has come to an end as The Herds — a group of life-sized puppet animals — reached the Arctic Circle this week, marking the end of a 20,000-kilometre trek from Kinshasa in the Congo rainforest.

Organized by The Walk, the team behind the renowned Little Amal project, The Herds used art to spotlight the urgency of climate action, uniting communities across Africa and Europe in a creative call for environmental justice.
