The Giant Panda is an endangered species and highly threatened. According to the latest report (2007), China has 239 giant pandas in captivity (128 of them in Wolong and 67 in Chengdu), and another 27 pandas living outside the country. It also estimated that around 1,590 pandas are currently living in the wild. However, a 2006 study, via DNA analysis, estimated that there might be as many as 2,000 to 3,000 pandas in the wild. Though reports show that the numbers of wild pandas are on the rise, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) believes there is not enough certainty to remove pandas from the endangered animal list.

The Capercaillie, which belongs to the grouse family, became extinct in Scotland in the middle of the 18th century and was reintroduced in the middle of the 19th century. Unfortunately due mainly to hunting, their numbers have now dwindled to approximately 1000 which places them not only on the endangered list but in grave danger of extinction in the wild. The name Capercaillie is gaelic and translated means horse of the forest. / I suspect that this descriptive name was given to this bird because in the mating season, the male makes a clip clopping sound to attract the females (amongst other calls). / This one was very interested in my camera.

WILD & FREE / / Polar bear cubs and mum having a short break on an ice floe. The sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rate, which has a huge impact for the bears as this is their main hunting ground. More and more bears are being found to have drowned while trying to find the ice, even though they can swim up to sixty miles or so! / / I hope the ice does not completely vanish and that they always have somewhere to hut!

100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of this item, will be donated to Bush Heritage Australia Hibbertia menai. Photo taken in Maandowie Bush Reserve, Loftus, NSW, Australia In 2002/2003 this plant was discovered in Maandowie Bushland Reserve, Loftus, NSW, Australia during bush regeneration activities. Formal identification was not done due to the regeneration work load. In 2004 it was found growing in the Menai area, about 5 kilometers from Maandowie. It was sent for formal identification and was confirmed to be a hitherto unknown species of Hibbertia. There are about 60 known specimens growing in the Menai area and 90 in Maandowie. Due to its limited range and the small number of plants it has officially been classified as rare and endangered by the NSW government.

Oils on canvas (10×12 inches) (commissioned – sold) The Peregrine Falcon is often stated to be the fastest animal on the planet in its hunting dive, the stoop, which involves soaring to a great height and then diving steeply at speeds commonly said to be over 322 km/h (200 mph), and hitting one wing of its prey so as not to harm itself on impact. The Peregrine Falcon hunts at dawn and dusk, when prey are most active, but in cities also nocturnally, particularly during migration periods when hunting at night may become prevalent. It requires open space in order to hunt, and therefore often hunts over open water, marshes, valleys, fields and tundra. It searches for prey either from a high perch or from the air. Once prey is spotted, it begins its stoop, folding back the tail and wings, with feet tucked. The Peregrine Falcon became an endangered species because of the use of pesticides, especially DDT during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Pesticide biomagnification interfered with reproduction, thinning eggshells and reducing the number of eggs that survived to hatching. The organochlorine build-up in the falcon’s fat tissues would result in less calcium in the eggshells, leading to flimsier, more fragile eggs. In several parts of the world, such as the eastern USA and Belgium, this species became extinct as a result. Peregrine eggs and chicks are often targeted by black marketeers and unscrupulous egg collectors, so it is normal practice not to publicize unprotected nest locations. The Peregrine Falcon was used in falconry for more than 3,000 years, beginning with nomads in central Asia.] Due to its ability to dive at high speeds, it was highly sought-after and generally used by experienced falconers. Peregrine Falcons are also occasionally used to scare away birds at airports to reduce the risk of bird-plane strikes, improving air-traffic safety. / (wikipedia)

I decided to add some color to my drawings. I used four colors in this drawing – black charcoal, white charcoal, sepia Conte, and dark sepia Cretacolor on 24”x18” bristol vellum paper. When I decided to draw an orangutan, the director of RedApes.org contacted me about the drawing before I’d even begun, which gave me the idea for the drawing. “What the Future Holds” is symbolic of the plight of these most endangered of all the great apes. There are two species, the Sumatran (more endangered) and Bornean. This drawing represents the Bornean orangutan, whose hair is shorter and darker than its Sumatran relative. I will be donating a portion of my profits to orangutan conservation.

The Pika Project series is now winding down. Not only are the aspen starting to change colors, but the tundra at altitude is as well. Many of the tundra grasses and plants turn an intense shade of red as Fall starts in the high country. One of my goals from the Labor Day weekend was to get a pika image with her gathering food with some of the red Fall color.. I have another one that’s sufficiently different I want to post as well. Standard Pika Boilerplate / Unlike their alpine cousins, the marmots (who hibernate away the winter months), pikas are awake and active all winter long – and at their altitude in the alpine zone, winter can be a long time. To survive their winters, pikas have to gather food to have enough to eat. They start by running out into the talus field to gather mouthfuls of grass, plants, flowers, and thistles. They then pile all the plant matter into tiny little hay bales to dry in the sun. Once it’s dried, they carry the little hay bales into their burrows where they store it and use it for food, bedding, and insulation. If they don’t gather enough food, they don’t survive the winter. Despite weighing only about 6 ounces themselves, pikas must gather in excess of 50 pounds of plant matter for the coming winter. That’s a LOT of plant matter for a little critter to gather. In pika communities, it’s not uncommon for pikas to try to make off with a neighbors hay bale. When caught, this can lead to a noisy little dispute between the pikas. When they spot a predator or potential danger (or if you get too close to their little hay bales), they emit a surprisingly loud EEENK. They also keep themselves in harm’s way to alert their neighbors. It’s more common to hear pikas than see them. Pikas, and marmots to a lesser extent, are considered at risk species due to climate change and global warming. They live on what is essentially a cold island. They are unable to migrate to different locations, as doing so would require them to cross long stretches of excessively hot ground. Their only alternative is to climb higher and higher up the mountain, and there’s only so much mountain to climb. Most pikas spend their entire lives in a half-mile radius. It’s estimated that pikas cannot survive in temps higher than 75F for more than a few hours.
