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.
African Wild Dogs have disappeared from much of their former range. Their population is currently estimated at approximately 6,600 adults in 39 subpopulations, of which only 1,400 are mature individuals. Population size is continuing to decline as a result of ongoing habitat fragmentation, conflict with human activities, and infectious disease. Given uncertainty surrounding population estimates, and the species’ tendency to population fluctuations, the largest subpopulations might well number <250 mature individuals, thereby warranting listing as Endangered under criterion C2a(i).
