Al Ain Zoo
Conservation Festival 2024

Al Ain, UAE 2024 Guinness World Record Mosaic Live

Conservation Made Personal.

Al Ain Zoo needed a conservation festival that told real stories within a modest budget. The goal was not spectacle. It was connection. Visitors needed to feel the weight of conservation, not just read about it.

The direction was immersive. Wildlife-inspired zones, culturally rooted programming, and installations that made sustainability accessible. The result: a Guinness World Record for the Largest Palm Leaf Sentence, and a festival that proved creative vision outperforms budget.

The Brief

Create a conservation festival delivering meaningful storytelling within a modest budget. The event needed to balance education, entertainment, and community engagement across a large outdoor footprint.

The Direction

Immersive zones, wildlife-inspired installations, and culturally rooted programming. Every element tied to a conservation message. Sustainability made accessible, not academic.

The Outcome

A Guinness World Record for the Largest Palm Leaf Sentence. A festival that turned conservation into something personal, not passive. Proof that vision outperforms budget.

From Sketch to Stand.

The exhibition stand was designed to bring wildlife into the visitor's space. Floor plans mapped out zones for waiting, reception, immersive LED experiences, AR interaction, and a photobooth backdrop. The renders explored large-scale wildlife imagery with modern exhibition architecture.
