In 2019 I Dedicated Each Day To Drawing Endangered Animals, And Here Are 25 Of My Best Ones
I've dedicated 2019 to a cause that is very close to my heart and that is biodiversity conservation. The challenge was to draw an endangered animal each day for the whole year, raising awareness and using my art as a means of giving a voice to animals that WE have pushed toward extinction. For more on this challenge see here.
Nature boundlessly inspires us all, but the truth is that it's disappearing at a rate faster than ever before. We are the first generation that has a clear picture of the value of nature and the enormous impact we have on it, and we may be the last that can act to reverse this trend.

Vultures are really important to ecosystems and some species are endangered because of poisoning. I don't know about this species in particular, but losing vultures can really have a negative affect on an ecosystem, of which we are a part. Here is an article, though again, I don't know about this particular species of vulture: "Loss of vultures damaging for humans, ecosystem: study" (https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/energy-and-environment/Loss-of-vultures-damaging-for-humans-ecosystem-study/article14304522.ece)
Beluga
Critically endangered.
Now with this creature you have to bs careful and put its full name and put beluga sturgeon because if you just put beluga people often think of the beluga whale, even though their both protected species
Desperate Leaf Chameleon
Critically endangered.
Hi Diane. The scientific name is also similar (Brookesia Desperata) due to the species being on the brink of extinction even at the time of discovery. This species, along with others found on the island of Madagascar exhibit a phenomenon called Island Dwarfism which makes them extremely tiny.

Thankyou Daria. The way youve explained it really is how the thought process of mine was while I was making these.

Hi Devin, thankyou so much. You can always follow me on my social media platforms or support by grabbing something off my store.

Yes, the colors are meant to show that their beauty can still be saved and preserved, if we act fast enough.

These animals are so close to being gone from our world. Anybody know of someway I can help? I really want to save all of these cuties (especially the otters)
You can always look up conservation organizations that do proper conservation. These organizations help repopulate wild numbers
