IFAW Photo Exhibit in China--Human Animal Bond

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I want to share with you a traveling photo exhibit IFAW is hosting in China,

titled Anthem of Life--- Human-Animal Bond After Wenchuan Earthquake. Using

pictures taken during the May earthquake and the subsequent rescue efforts, we

want to highlight the unbreakable bond between people and animals. The exhibit

was officially launched on September 25th at an art gallery in Beijing. The

below link is to an article in the China Daily on September 26th.

The exhibit has two sections, 1) collection of photos taken by photo journalists

during the earthquake 2) collection of photos demonstrating IFAW's emergency

rescue work. Through this photo exhibit, IFAW hopes to highlight compassion in

society and empathy towards other living beings. The earthquake may have broken

many things but it cannot break the bond between people and animals. In the past

month, three sets of 60 photos have been traveling around the city at shopping

centers, parks, university campuses and residential communities.
