“I’m Jana Voscort, a Berlin based animal and portrait artist. I was born in Emsdetten, Germany in 1991 and grew up in a family of professional painters. Shaped by the creative environment, I focused on an artistic career very early. At the age of 12 I started with acrylic paint and developed my own colourful style over the years. Today I also work with oil colours and try to use many different mediums in my paintings.
With my art I want to capture unforgettable moments and the stories behind them. Whether sunrises, starry skies, immense nature, wild animals, or special people with whom you can just laugh and have endless conversations. It’s the little things that have the biggest impact.
And this is exactly why species conservation is so important to me. I would like to preserve the breathtaking beauty and diversity of nature and still enable our future generations to have magical encounters with wild animals.
I’m thankful to be part of this project and to help raising funds and spreading awareness of these topics.”
Listed as Least Concern the Serval is relatively abundant and widespread.Within the last few years there are many new records of Servals implying an expanding and recolonizing of some areas (Herman et al. 2008, Bout 2010, Thorn et al. 2011, Hickisch and Aebischer 2013, Mugerwa 2013). There is no data confirming the new findings to be an enlargement of the Serval’s distribution range or to be a shift of the range due to habitat loss and/or degradation, climate change or human impact, etc. However, habitat loss and degradation of wetlands is of concern, as is the level of skin trade in west Africa (Ray et al. 2005).
Servals are rare south of the Sahara in the Sahel region such as Senegal (Clement et al. 2007). A 2007 Mediterranean Mammal Assessment workshop classified Servals north of the Sahara as regionally Critically Endangered. The isolated population along the Mediterranean coast, where it is known to occur only in Morocco (Cuzin 2003), possibly in Algeria (K. de Smet pers. comm.), and has been reintroduced (from East African stock) in Tunisia (Hunter and Bowland 2013), is classified regionally as Critically Endangered under criterion C2a(i). There are fewer than 250 mature individuals; each subpopulation is smaller than 50 and completely isolated (from each other and from sub-Saharan African populations). The status of these populations has not been reassessed and since 2003 there are have been no new confirmed records.
