The Call of The Wild

The world is changing and there isn't enough time. The effects of human encroachment into wildlife reserves and state parks including illegal ivory trade as well as poaching is threatening the very existence of what little wildlife we have have left. In three years alone, ivory-seeking poachers have killed 100,000 African elephants, according to a new study that provides the first reliable continent-wide estimates of illegal kills (visit http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/08/140818-elephants-africa-poaching-cites-census/). The remaining wildlife are now calling to us

it is time we act. While the governments and various companies are doing everything they can to stop the senseless yet brutal end of such unique creatures, they can't do it alone. We are appealing now to the art community, it is us who draw inspiration from these amazing creatures, therefore it is us who need to be on the forefront armed with brushes and canvases. Art has a voice, one that everyone can hear, understand and respond to.
