John Dyer is the artist in residence for the Eden Project and his ongoing relationship with the Eden team helps enormously in planning and realising projects such as ‘Last Chance to Paint’. In 2015/16 the Eden Project and John Dyer ran the hugely successful ‘Spirit of the Rainforest’ project at the Eden Project with Nixiwaka Yawanawá from the Amazon rainforest.

​

"The Eden Project, an educational charity, connects us with each other and the living world exploring how we can work towards a better future. Eden was built as a symbol of optimism showing what can be done when people work together and with nature and shares stories of hope to inspire people to get involved in tackling some of today’s environmental challenges."

Savage Interactive, the makers of the Procreate App, have kindly sponsored our ‘Spirit of the Rainforest’ chapter of ‘Last Chance to Paint’ and we are thrilled to be working with them.

John Dyer will be using Procreate whilst in the Amazon rainforest.

​

"Procreate was proud to sponsor Last Chance to Paint for Spirit of the Rainforest. Working with John was a delight and seeing the work created out of the amazon on Procreate and hearing the stories to go along with each piece was really special for us and compelling for our online community. We believe the work John is doing to raise awareness about our environment and the climate with the next generation through art is an engaging and thought-provoking way to learn about the issues we face. His passion for the project is clear and we’re excited to see where it leads in future iterations of Last Chance to Paint."

The Orangutan Foundation is kindly helping with our ‘Innova Art – Person of the Rainforest, Borneo’ chapter of ‘Last Chance to Paint’. Ashley Leiman, OBE, the director of the foundation is helping us to plan and be able to see orangutans at the Lamandau wildlife reserve.

​

"Orangutan Foundation is saving the critically endangered orangutan by protecting their tropical forest habitat, working with local communities and promoting research and education. Its approach goes beyond that of purely protecting orangutans. It recognizes that orangutans are essential to their habitat, which is unique in its rich biodiversity and is crucial for local communities, who are as dependent on the forest as the orangutans."

Rohan has very generously supported ‘Last Chance to Paint’ by equipping our team with a full set of their Anti-insect sun protective tropical clothing. The clothing incorporates a treatment which impairs the ability of insects including mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, fleas, chiggers and midges to land, and so reduces bites and will help to protect the health of the team.

​

"Rohan supported John on his original Amazon expedition in 1989 and he has been wearing our clothing ever since. In fact, Rohan has been with John all around the world including; Costa Rice, Peru, Australia, France, Philippines and of course, here at home in the UK.

So, it was a natural decision met with much enthusiasm and delight to support him once again on his upcoming Amazon expedition."
