Help! Wildlife trafficking is an unfortunate event that has become a serious threat to our environment leading to extinction of a lot of species. This campaign compares journey of these animals to that of in-flight economy class passengers to sensitize everyone about the pain and discomfort they go through. Since, most animals are trafficked via airway these ads were put up at most airports.

Sometimes the best way to engage communities in conservation action is through a technology that has existed for thousands of years: art. Conservation doesn’t always have to be flashy to successfully engage the community. Sometimes the tried and true— paintbrushes, pencils,paper or canvas—are the best way to reach out. With a little out of the box thinking, everyone can walk away having learned something important about preserving the environment they share. #artforconservation #artists #wildlifeconservationsociety #wildlifeconservationist (at Nairobi, Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYv27OOqxUT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Male Barasingha got protective of his mate the moment we arrived. I wonder what he was thinking. The male can be easily be identified with 12 antlers. December 2018.

The Arignar Anna Zoological Park, famously called as the Vandalur Zoo located in Chennai is the largest zoological park in India. A must visit place in Chennai which could be a wonderful treat to spend some valuable time with kids and family!

Shutting down global online illegal wildlife trade requires an integrated, international solution. WWF, TRAFFIC and IFAW are collaborating with companies across continents to unite the industry and maximize impact for reducing wildlife trafficking online.

La Paciencia Valley and the Sanchez River (from east to west - the Cordon Montanoso Valdivieso mountains in the background) in the Karukinka Natural Park - 2,720 Sq Km private reserve owned and managed by the WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society). It’s located in southern Chilean Tierra del Fuego. The 2nd photo shows some of the impact the introduced Canadian Beavers has on the river systems in Tierra del Fuego - the pale/white patches are dead trees in areas presently/previously occupied by the beavers...not unlike a bombed site. . . . #karukinkapark #parquenaturalkarukinka #conservation #wcs #wildlifeconservationsociety #tierradelfuego #patagoniachile #expeditionplanning #remotetrekking #explorepatagonia #visitchile (at Karukinka - Wildlife Conservation Society) https://www.instagram.com/p/B682WotgrsN/?igshid=g4dtbm4gg3gy

Went to my future sister in laws Bachelorette over the weekend and got to see her favorite animal the sloth! It was so much fun to sketch at the zoo again! My favorites were the Capybara, Tamandua, and two toed Sloth “Sylvia!”(p.s. did you know sloths have crazy sharp teeth??? Also their fur is actually really soft 🤗) . . . #zoo #zooart #zoosketch #wildlifeconservationsociety #art #sketch #sloth #slothart #twotoedsloth #tamandua #capybara #gulfshores #orangebeachalabama #animalart #sketch #dailysketch #instaart #illustration #atlantaartist #emergingartist #process #artist (at Orange Beach, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsTn23lFda/?igshid=1s79ollk48vb3

This week, Vince a White Rhino IN a zoo was poached, and his horn saw off with a chainsaw. Satao ll one of the few surviving "big tuskers" (wild) was also taken. Im heartbroken. How could you? How could we?! We have science and medicine... I just don't understand. Watching the anti-poaching units passion and precision instills hope, but they can only be so many places at a time. ------------------------------------------ I know everyone is exhausted & doing their best to pitch in for the things you care about and affect you. Do you know when you donate to #WorldWildlifeFund or #WildlifeConservationSociety you are helping fund anti-poaching as well? To those who do what they can: Thank you. . . . . #savethemall #wwf #wcs #unicorns #rhinos #elephants #lionstigersandbears #antipoaching #ivory #notviagra #pachyderms #yesimcrying
