Bangladesh Cyclone Appeal
The Disaster Emergency Committee’s 13 major aid agencies have launched an appeal to help millions of people left without food and shelter following the Bangladesh cyclone.
More than five million people have been affected. Families have been left without enough food, water, or shelter, while an estimated million homes have been destroyed or damaged and around a million acres of cropland devastated.

Spirit of the Wild takes you on an inspiring journey to the most wonderful places, and gives you a flavour of both animals and the terrain in which they live. At a time when so many animals are endangered and habitats are vanishing, the photographs in this exhibition serve to remind us of the beauty in the world, and our need to respect, protect and preserve it.
- An outdoor exhibition of 100 pictures.
- World facts and data that will astound and inform you.
- See a short documentary of Spirit of the Wild showing Steve Bloom at work at our exhibition shop and information centre.
- Exhibition merchandise available from our exhibition shop at St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, First Floor near Foodl
This exhibition has been possible with the collaboration of Jan Bridge of wecommunic8, WWF-UK and Steve and Kathy Bloom.

The climate is changing – so much so that the world is warming faster than at any time in the last 10,000 years. Globally, the 1990s were the warmest decade and 1998 the warmest year on record. The hottest day yet recorded in Britain was 10 August 2003, when temperatures reached 37°C.
In Spirit of the Wild, Steve Bloom has superbly captured much of the diversity and beauty of the world’s species. But climate change could not only put thousands of plants and animals at risk of extinction, but also bring water and
food shortages to millions of people around the world.
We are already seeing changes in our weather as floods, storms, droughts and heatwaves become more frequent and severe.
Urgent action is needed if we are to avert the threat climate change poses to species and habitats, and to people’s livelihoods.
Climate change is one of the most serious environmental challenges to face our planet. But many of the species featured in Spirit of the Wild also face the threat of illegal wildlife trade, habitat loss and our consumption of natural
resources. For example, the rhino is clearly under threat so long as its horn is used in traditional Asian medicine, and forests are threatened by our demand for wood and paper.
