Raising awareness about endangered animals by just handing out flyers and putting up exhibitions?

No Way!

The Singapore Wildlife Stampede is about taking the message literally out to the streets! Imagine being part of a contingent, dressed in a rhinoceros costume and riding on a giant float decorated to look like the African savanna. That’s what this wildlife parade is all about! Organised by Roots and Shoots, a programme of the Jane Goodall Institute, the Singapore Wildlife Stampede hopes to spread the word about the environment and our endangered animals amongst our youth and we want YOU to be part of it.
