Holograms of endangered animals installed at Twycross zoo

Available for over a year

Holograms of critically endangered Javan rhinos and endangered African elephants have been installed in an exhibition at Leicestershire's Twycross zoo. The project is the first of its kind in a UK zoo and hopes to inspire and educate the public about the threats they face and how we can help. Javan rhinos are listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), with only 76 remaining in the entire world, all in Ujong Kulon National Park on the island of Java, Indonesia. Dr Richard Sands, conservation education manager at Twycross Zoo explains to Aminata Kamara that for most people, seeing the hologram is the only way they will ever see this incredibly rare species.
