The crescendo of rampant human activities has sent wildlife numbers plummeting downhill at a horrific pace. In the last decade, the rapidly dwindling tally of several species has reached a new low that was unseen in the entire span of the past century. Our thriving societies have thinned the animal colonies. Unless our evolved brains and able hands are put to wiser use, species hanging precariously at the edge of vulnerability and endangerment will soon have disappeared into the oblivion of extinction.





Playing a big role in conservation, Taronga Foundation is actively involved in research and wildlife preservation. To raise vital funds for endangered species, Taronga Dinner is organized annually by the Foundation. The 2016 Taronga Dinner will be held on 16th June at Sydney Town Hall . Hosted by the iconic television personality Rove McManus , this deluxe feast will include pre-dinner drinks, sensational dance and aerial performances.



Priced at $300 per individual, $3000 for a table of 10 and $6000 for a VIP table of 10, the grand dinner will definitely turn out to be a memorable event. And to add that special twist this year, marking the Taronga Centenary , the whole occasion is to be celebrated as an animal masquerade. The masks made by local artists and the students of Design Centre Enmore, Sydney TAFE are selling like hot cakes. You can buy yours here .





In 2014, the Dinner successfully raised a whooping $350,000 for conservation of Asian Elephants. Hopefully, it raises much more than that this year to meet the escalating concerns - species are disappearing faster than they are being discovered.





Though foundations, societies and groups have been trying to keep things in check and arouse awareness, the current situation demands efforts at the individual level. It is high time we start contemplating and retracing our paths. Else, the rate at which animals have been reaping the results of our actions, we will be left with the company of only creepy crawlies.
