spend some time with animals they might never be able to witness in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the last 50 years, wildlife populations have plummeted by 69% globally. We are now facing the world\u2019s sixth mass extinction,\u201d Gillie said in a statement. \u201cThis crisis is beyond description, yet we remain hopeful and committed to witnessing change within our lifetimes. We trust that our art and the stories we tell can inspire people to engage in vital conversations and take meaningful action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wildlife Wonders includes two more massive sculptures: \u201cThe Wild Table of Love\u201d and \u201cThe Hippo Was Hungry To Try New Things With Rabbitwoman.\u201d The former one consists of a bronze table featuring animals and the duo\u2019s famous characters, Rabbitwoman and Dogman, with seats left empty for humans. The latter one captures a conversation between a hippo and a Rabbitwoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wildlife Wonders exhibition will remain on display in front of World Trade Center Oculus until July 31st, 2025, so make sure to check it out if you have a chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gillie and Marc, the renowned international art duo, recently staged an exhibition in front of the World Trade Center Oculus in New York City, New York, which aims to raise awareness about endangered wildlife.
