TITLE: "ENDANGERED"

"ENDANGERED" is a series of Wildlife Animal Portraits. In this series I tried to show my viewers the beauty, uniqueness and emotions of animals. Or it is a Lion image showing his great pride, or it is a concern of Mama Cheetah for the safety of her cub, or the very human expression of deep thoughts on Siamang's face, - they are now all endangered creatures! It deeply saddens me that the population of wildlife has significantly dropped in the last few decades, and close to 40% of all species heading toward distinction. With habitat loss, poaching, killing for a bone sale, diseases and a climate change, my intention is to raise awareness of immediate actions we have to take to love, save and preserve our precious wildlife.
Through this series I am trying to immerse my viewer in each portrait, allowing them to stand witness to a personal conversation about our vanishing wildlife, and inform others about the importance of coexisting and protecting our natural world for all of us and for our future generations, before it is too late.
