What is THE HERDS?

THE HERDS is public art and climate action on an unprecedented scale – an ambitious coming together of culture and climate to inspire action and reignite our connection with the natural world. Read more.

Public art & climate action

We believe what is lacking in the current climate debate is not scientific understanding, it’s the sensory emotional experience that has the power to stimulate action. Beauty is the missing spark that leads us from curiosity to change.

Our partners

We are working with hundreds of world-leading artists, cultural institutions, environmental organisations and ambassadors stretching from the Congo Basin to the Arctic Circle. Meet our partners.

Education programme

Boxed Wilderness” is our one-of-a-kind digital educational resource designed to rekindle young students’ engagement with the natural world, empowering the next generation with the knowledge, skills and passion to protect our planet. Available worldwide from early 2025.
