The Uk's first rainforest conservation event
About the Event
Hosted by Jungle Lifeline CIC, Louie Voice for the Wild is the UK’s first immersive rainforest conservation event — a family-led celebration of wildlife, sustainability, and positive change.
Set within the beautiful natural surroundings of Umberslade Adventure in the West Midlands, this one-of-a-kind event invites families to step into a living rainforest world, discover ethical brands, enjoy creative workshops, and be inspired by Louie the Orangutan — the world’s first fully flanged animatronic orangutan ambassador
Our Mission
This isn’t just an event — it’s a movement.
Louie Voice for the Wild brings together families, schools, and eco-focused organisations to raise awareness of endangered rainforests, ethical palm oil, and sustainable living.
In partnership with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the event will highlight how small choices — like supporting certified sustainable palm oil — can have a big impact on orangutans and rainforests across the world.
What to Expect
Visitors will enjoy a full day of family-friendly activities that educate, inspire, and entertain:
-
Ethical Invertebrate Encounters – Meet incredible mini-beasts and discover their vital role in the rainforest.
-
Sustainable Palm Oil Discovery Zone – Learn how RSPO certification protects wildlife and forests.
-
Eco-Market Stalls – Explore sustainable brands, local artisans, and ethical businesses.
-
Rainforest Crafts & Workshops – Hands-on fun for children and families.
-
“Rhythm of the Rainforest” African Drum Workshop – Feel the heartbeat of the wild in this lively, interactive experience celebrating global rainforest culture.
At the heart of it all, Louie the Orangutan will take centre stage — sharing stories, sparking smiles, and reminding us all to be a voice for the wild.
The Conservation Tour
Beyond this flagship event, the journey continues through the Look, It’s Louie: The Conservation Tour — a mobile pop-up conservation experience travelling to schools, markets, and festivals nationwide.
The tour allows communities across the UK to meet Louie, learn about rainforest protection, and take part in interactive displays that connect education, conservation, and family fun.
