Dubai: Four friendly wildlife protectors from different parts of the world are joining forces at The Green Planet Dubai this March 2023. 

On a mission to save the planet, the group of life-like animals including a playful polar bear named Theodore from the frozen Arctics, Muffin, a laid-back but strong panda from the tropical rainforests of Asia, Mojo, a gorilla from the African jungles, and Bob, an easy-going sloth from the South American Tropics, are becoming the tropical rainforest’s official mascots as they spread awareness of the importance of preserving the planet.

Sara Stevens, Head of Operations and Curator at The Green Planet, said “We are excited for our guests to meet the ‘Friends of The Green Planet’, the official ambassadors of the bio-dome. The addition of the mascots is in line with our mission to spread awareness and understanding of the importance of wildlife preservation and ecological sustainability in the region.”
