Herd of animal puppets treks from Africa to Europe in climate action

A wildebeest, a gorilla and a giraffe were among the life-size puppets to begin a 20,000-kilometre (12,400-mile) trek across the globe Wednesday from the DR Congo capital, to raise awareness about migration due to climate change. "Some animals will die on the way," due to high humidity for instance, "just like in real life", Mpofu said.
