Recognising a lack of disability-inclusive conservation materials, Wenny collaborated with six neurodiverse artists at Indonesia’s Art Therapy Centre Widyatama to create an inclusive, multi-sensory children’s book showcasing endangered species of Southeast Asia.

Farid, Iwan, Zidni, Satria, Daffa and Putu, who each received a portion of the grant, working on designs for the final copy of 'A-Z Endangered Animals of Southeast Asia'.

At the 2025 Symposium of Art, Design, and Literacy for Inclusive Education in Indonesia, Wenny, Zidni, Dafa, and Putu presented a poster on their PARDICOLOR-funded project, sharing their perspectives on saving animals through illustration with the audience.

The multi-sensory children’s book blends visual storytelling and accessibility tools to engage low-vision and autistic children, while fostering environmental stewardship and social inclusion.

At Art Therapy Center Widyatama’s Annual Graduation Exhibition, graduating artists, Satria and Farid, proudly presented their co-created, multi-sensory children’s book ‘A-Z of Endangered Species of Southeast Asia’ to the examiners - both received A grades!
