Animal of the Month: Pandas
We're going for more well-known animals this month to encourage participation. This month we want to see work of both Giant Pandas and Red Pandas, both of which are endangered species.
Both species are greatly threatened due deforestation and poaching, and their low birth rates make breeding more difficult.
"The giant panda is among the world's most adored and protected rare animals" (wikipedia.org) - so let's see what wonderful artwork you can create! If you mention in the artist's comments that they are endangered then we can make more people aware of the threats to these enchanting mammals.
How can you help them?
You can adopt Giant or Red Pandas from various charity organisations, such as the WWF; where the money you pay will go towards conservation projects. This could include breeding programmes, stopping poaching, and creating habitats/growing bamboo. PaintTheSkyYellow shares some information and sites where you can donate on her environmental blog: katyasarria.wordpress.com/2010…Where can I submit my deviations?
We have created a new folder specifically for this monthly event. Submit any works you create here: endangered-animals.deviantart.…Inspirational Feature
