United for Wildlife is a group that unites the efforts of the world’s leading wildlife charities in the fight against the illegal animal trade. The new decals were added to the planes in order to raise awareness of the illegal wildlife trade and express the need for action.
The first of two planes with the decals of endangered animals worked a route to London and the second flew to Mauritius in Africa. The decals cover almost 40 percent of the aircrafts, and the project took 28 people a total of 2.5 days—about 900 man hours—to apply the decals on just one plane.
