Elegance will meet environmental action at the Borneo Wildlife Preservation’s upcoming Save the Rainforest charity gala in May, an event that will unite changemakers, conservationists and high society in support of the world’s most threatened ecosystems.
As rainforests vanish before our eyes and countless endangered species teeter on the brink of extinction, the Save the Rainforest charity gala — organised by Borneo Wildlife Preservation and set to take place on 17th May at the Fairmont Monte Carlo — will serve as a call to action in the name of biodiversity conservation and enhanced protections for the “lungs of the world”.
“With this gala, we aim to raise awareness of the need to save our rainforests and their inhabitants worldwide,” say the event’s organisers. “Together, we can create lasting change and champion the fight for our planet’s future. Now is the time to take action and make a difference for generations to come.”
The evening will begin at 7pm in the Fairmont’s Salle d’Or Ballroom, where guests will be welcomed with a Premier Cru Champagne aperitif, followed by a gourmet three-course dinner paired with exquisite international wines.
The event’s true showstopper will be a sustainable fashion show hosted by Junk Kouture, a global youth movement redefining couture through eco-conscious creativity. At the Save the Rainforest gala, a group of teenage designers, aged 12 to 19, will dazzle guests with their boundary-pushing garments made entirely from recycled materials.
Adding to the excitement, guests will have the chance to participate in a charity auction and tombola, with all proceeds going towards global preservation efforts.
Appearances from leaders in wildlife advocacy, including representatives from the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation — which champions rhino conservation efforts in South Africa — and Chris DeRose, founder of Last Chance for Animals, who fights tirelessly for animal rights around the globe, are also expected.
Lending his voice to the evening will be Christian Moore, the president of the Monaco Ambassadors Club and the son of the iconic Sir Roger Moore, who will deliver the opening address. A longtime supporter of Borneo Wildlife Preservation, Moore will speak about the urgency of collective action in protecting our planet’s biodiversity, a cause aligned with Monaco’s long legacy of environmental stewardship.
From rainforest restoration in Malaysia to wildlife sanctuaries in South Africa and Congo, the proceeds from this one-of-a-kind gala will directly benefit conservation initiatives, including the Borneo Elephant Sanctuary, Virunga National Park and the Khusela Wildlife Sanctuary.
