Climate-Noah's Ark Favorite 

On September 19,2015 in Paris, 140 animals sailed up the River Seine to bring awareness to climate change, ahead of the COP21 UN meeting in December. French artist Gad Weil created this pop art piece from fully recyclable acrylic sheets, and installed the animals on top of a barge in front of the Eiffel Tower.

The animals are part of an art project named " Noah's Ark for Climate" which is an exhibit intended to raise awareness on climate change. The animals are a visible reminder to attendees of the summit that many species are threatened by climate change, including our own. We are in the midst of the 6th great extinction, losing species at 1000 times the normal rate of extinction due to human destruction of natural habitat and loss of habitat due to climate change.

"The work of pop art is this, a sort of continuous game for children and families that give them the chance to take picture put them on social networks with the hashtag "adnclimat" and with their propositions on climate change. We will have for sure all sorts of proposition, some more interesting, some less interesting and all these proposition and pictures will be diffused during the Cop 21 at the heart of the "Bourget". We don't want the Bourget to be reserved just to authorities and to ong, we want people to have the chance to express themselves and the Noah's Ark climate project is the representative of people at the heart of the Cop 21," Wail said.
