Creating art is how I express my love and admiration of the natural world. I have been painting and drawing ever since I was little always inspired by wildlife and nature. Even today I am still inspired by wildlife everyday. I have a particular preference for soft pastels and watercolour to create an air of realism but also freedom and movement. Depicting beauty and natural behaviours. I have a particular fondness for African painted dogs I love everything about them from their beautiful iconic coat patterns and those huge ears, their vocalisations to their intriguing behaviours. To me conservation is incredibly important and by doing just a small part to help conservation efforts I know it will make a huge difference to wildlife.
Temminck’s Pangolin is listed as Vulnerable under criteria A4cd because there is an inferred past/ongoing and future population reduction of 30–40% over a 45 year period (15 years past, 30 years future; generation length estimated at 15 years) based primarily on ongoing exploitation for traditional medicine and bushmeat throughout the species’ range and evidence of increased intercontinental trade to Asia. True rates of decline are imperfectly known but are unlikely to exceed 50%. The assessors have chosen to take a precautionary approach in listing the species as Vulnerable, especially considering the burgeoning demand for pangolins in the Asian markets, the resultant severe declines in some Asian pangolin populations and more recently plausible declines in at least two African pangolin species and the unquantified levels of both local and international trade (although both are known to be increasing). The growing human population is also increasingly restricting this species to protected areas through a combination of direct persecution and habitat transformation, with a simultaneous decrease in the Area of Occupancy. Further research into the levels of trade and status of this species is urgently required.
