London artist Louis Masai has been painting huge murals of orangutans in major cities around the UK.

Part of the "Protect Pongo" campaign, the murals aim to increase public awareness of the plight of the orangutan.

Companies farming palm oil, a key ingredient in many commercially produced foods, are clearing forests in Borneo which are home to these rare apes.

This is threatening the creatures' survival.

Masai hopes his murals will spark conversations on species in decline.

Masai's orangutans resemble stuffed toys knitted together from patterned squares.

His work catches the eye thanks to this vivid patchwork style.

Masai's colourful skills have also been used to publicise the plight of London's eel population.

Once plentiful in the city's waterways, eels are now endangered due to high levels of water pollution.
