About THE HERDS

THE HERDS is a new project from The Walk Productions, creators of The Extraordinary Journeys of Little Amal. It is a groundbreaking public art and climate initiative designed to inspire action and renew our bond with the natural world. From April to August 2025, life-size puppet animals will sweep through city centres on a 20,000km journey from the Congo Basin to the Arctic Circle, fleeing climate disaster.
