Our impact

The world is facing urgent, interconnected crises: climate breakdown, inequality, loss of biodiversity, and disconnection from one another. We believe culture has a vital role to play in changing the course we’re on. But change won’t come from fear or guilt alone - it needs equity, hope, community, and inspiration.That’s why we built Wake The Tiger.

Drawing on decades of experience in business and creative industries, we set out to create a new kind of attraction, one that confronts the biggest challenges of our time through imagination, discovery, and purposeful action.

Our Amazement Parks® are more than just immersive experiences. They’re a call to action wrapped in wonder: designed to shift perspectives, spark curiosity, and make complex issues accessible. We’re here to disrupt the norm, challenge the status quo, and prove that a different kind of future is possible and worth building together.

The Climate Crisis: No Place Called ‘Away’

We are in the midst of a global climate crisis. Rising temperatures, biodiversity loss, and extreme weather events are accelerating at an alarming rate. In 2024, global temperatures exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time, marking a dangerous milestone. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) confirmed that 2024 was the warmest year on record, with temperatures reaching approximately 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels (WMO, 2024). Scientists have long warned that surpassing this threshold risks triggering irreversible climate tipping points, including ice sheet collapse, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather patterns.

This crisis is not just about the environment, it’s about people, social justice, and the very systems that sustain our lives.

The Intersection of Climate, War, and Inequality

The way we produce, consume, and discard has profound consequences. Food insecurity is rising, fueled by climate change, conflicts, and a deeply unequal global economy. According to the World Food Programme (WFP), almost 282 million people face acute food insecurity across 59 countries, an increase driven by climate shocks and geopolitical instability (WFP, 2023). Wars, often linked to resource scarcity, exacerbate displacement, with millions forced to migrate due to droughts, floods, and land degradation.

Colonialism’s legacy persists in environmental injustice, with nations that contributed the least to carbon emissions suffering the most. While all people have inherent human rights to live and thrive, the lack of resources to limit and adjust to the impacts of climate change is pushing a decent life and even survival beyond reach for many. That’s a stark injustice, compounded by the fact that countries and communities with the most limited means are mostly those who have contributed little to causing climate change. (UN Climate Action). As activist Vanessa Nakate states, "the climate crisis is not about pledges, statistics, reports or activists. It’s about human suffering and ruined lives. It’s about death." (Guardian Dec 2023).

Plastic, fossil fuels, and the illusion of 'away'

Consumer culture, driven by fossil fuels and single-use plastics, has created a waste crisis. As the Netflix documentary Buy Now highlights, “there is no place called away.” Everything we discard - plastic packaging, fast fashion, e-waste - ends up in the oceans, air, or soil. A report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns that by 2050, plastic in the ocean could outweigh fish (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2016). Meanwhile, fossil fuels remain the dominant energy source, despite renewables now being the cheapest form of power generation in many regions (IEA, 2023).

Even in the face of clear and present danger, industries and governments continue to invest in oil and gas expansion. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), while momentum for energy transitions is growing, the world is still a long way from a trajectory aligned with its climate goals. Decisions by governments, investors and consumers too often entrench the flaws in today’s energy system, rather than pushing it towards a cleaner and safer path. (IEA, 2024).

What Can We Do?

While governments and corporations must take responsibility, individuals and businesses can contribute to change. Whether it’s reducing waste, supporting ethical brands, or advocating for systemic change, we all have a role to play.

  • Support Reforestation & Ecosystem Projects: Donate to or volunteer with groups like Avon Needs Trees, Eden Reforestation Projects, or Rainforest Trust.
  • Reduce Waste & Embrace Circular Living: Switch to refillable products, secondhand shopping, and composting.
  • Choose Sustainable Food Options: Try regenerative agriculture-sourced foods, plant-based meals, or local farmers’ markets.
  • Demand Systemic Change: Contact your representatives, sign petitions, and support climate policy.
  • Divest from Fossil Fuels: Move your savings to ethical banks and green investments
  • Spread Awareness: Have conversations, share knowledge, and inspire others to take action.

The climate crisis is an urgent & shared challenge, but the solutions are real, growing, and within reach. There is no "away" - only the world we choose to build.
