Endangered Species Print Project



I recently heard about a unique and compelling way that two artists came up with to raise funds for organizations helping endangered species. It's called The Endangered Species Print Project , and it offers limited-edition art prints of critically endangered species with 100% of the proceeds donated to help threatened animals. From their website:

The number of prints available corresponds with the remaining animal or plant populations. For example, only 45 Amur Leopards remain in the wild, so for this edition, only 45 prints will ever be made. A different organization, whose mission is to the ensure the survival of the species depicted, is chosen for each print. 100% of the sales of ESPP prints are donated to these conservation organizations.

Several artists have contributed original artwork to the effort. Definitely worth checking out.
