Whaling stretches far back in human history, with evidence dating back to the Middle Ages, to Indigenous and cultural uses over the last several thousand years, to the emergence of a global commercial whaling industry over the last two centuries. Commercial whaling in American waters came to an end on Dec. 31, 1971, and the last whale to be taken for commercial harvest was a sperm whale taken near San Francisco Bay, in what is today Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary. Thanks to the Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, National Marine Sanctuaries Act, and other legislation, many of the waters that were once killing grounds for whales are now a haven for wildlife of all kinds.

It was so incredible to see so many green sea turtles laying on the beach or swimming in the ocean. The same day I took this we saw a Hawaiian monk seal on the beach and from shore saw spinner dolphins and whales (and of course lots of bird sightings). Hawaii was absolutely incredible for wildlife sightings. #gohawaii #endangeredspecies #findyourdistance (at Kailua-Kona, Hawaii)

The Last Animals is a story about an extraordinary group of people who go to incredible lengths to save the planet’s last animals. The documentary follows the conservationists, scientists and activists battling poachers and transnational trafficking syndicates to protect elephants and rhinos from extinction. From Africa’s frontlines to behind the scenes of Asian markets to the United States, the film takes an intense look at the global response to this slaughter and the desperate measures to genetically rescue the northern white rhinos who are on the edge of extinction.

Working at a place like @rsabg, I’m lucky enough to meet (and be a small part of preserving) endangered plants like Ornithostaphylos oppositifolia (Baja birdbrush). The Flora of North America has this to say about these stately native shrubs: “Ornithostaphylos oppositifolia is known in the United States from a single mesa and adjacent slopes in the Tijuana Hills just north of the international border with Mexico in San Diego County. Only 103 individuals have been located on the United States side of the border, and the species is listed as endangered under the California Endangered Species Act. The population has been declining due to habitat fragmentation by roads and trails and disturbance caused by illegal border crossings and Border Patrol activities, including ‘brush’ clearing. Recently, the extensive disturbance caused by the building of a double border fence has dramatically affected the population, and its long-term survival is uncertain.” Plants don’t recognize our borders, but our activities along them have a huge impact on plants and their habitat. O. oppositifolia were here long before we drew those lines across the land. Is keeping specific groups of people on specific sides of arbitrary boundaries worth the harm we do in the process?

Mexican wolf born at Wolf Haven is released with his pack in the northwest mountains of Mexico in December 2016.

#LoboWeek 2021 Did you know?
The Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) historic range was the Southwest part of the United States, mainly Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, and the high mountains of Sierra Madre Oriental, Sierra Madre Occidental and Central Valley in Mexico. They live in family groups (also known as packs) formed of an average of five individuals, and their habitat includes temperate wet forests, dry forests and desert-like areas. The Mexican wolf´s natural diet consists almost entirely of ungulates (mainly elk in the US and deer in Mexico)
El rango de distribución histórica del lobo mexicano (Canis lupus baileyi) cubría desde el suroeste de los Estados Unidos, principalmente Arizona, Nuevo México y Texas, hasta las altas montañas de la Sierra Madre Oriental, Sierra Madre Occidental y el valle central de México. Viven en grupos familiares (también conocidos como manadas) de cinco individuos en promedio, y su hábitat incluye bosques templados húmedos, bosques secos y áreas desérticas. La dieta natural del lobo mexicano consiste casi enteramente de ungulados (principalmente de wapiti en U.S.A. y venado en México)
Lobo week, Life in the wild: Habitat
Thousands of years of environmental pressures have made of the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) the most distinctive subspecies of the gray wolf. As the southernmost representative of the species, the Mexican wolf has historically inhabited the major mountain ranges from the U.S. Southwest to Central Mexico, which are covered with a great variety of vegetation types ranging from subalpine forests to semi-desert shrub and grasslands. In here, Mexican wolves find shelter, water, and prey, making the most of this diverse habitat that is their home.

It is Lobo week again (March 28 - April 3, 2021). The Mexican wolf was almost completely exterminated by the 1970s. A captive breeding program gave “el lobo” the chance to retake their natural place in their home and, in March of 1998, USFWS released 11 Mexican wolves in the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area within the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area in the U.S. Southwest.

I’ve prepared this artwork for international tiger day and if you’re following me on IG or twitter, you probably already saw it! Anyway tigers are my favourite big cats and, I think, favourite animal too.
Wild population of these majestic, endangered predators is now around 3900. In past years their population has growth in India, and now it is home for over 70% of global tiger population.
Three random facts just for fun:
-tigers are the largest of Pantherinae subfamily
-they pay a key role in the ecosystem, belonging to a group of “umbrella species”. It means that by protecting them, we indirectly protects the many other species and their natural habitats
-they use chuffing to communicate. Chuff is usually accompanied with the head bobbing movement and is a kind of “hello, I like you” sign (I love it)

As an artist I would like to raise awareness about the current and worsening climate crisis. So I am going to regularly post an animal, tree or environment I would like to see survive into the future but if we don’t change our ways will not make it for my child to enjoy in her adulthood. Today I choose Hedgehog as an animal I wish to see in ten years time bimbling through my garden eating snails and slugs. Hedgehog numbers having been falling drastically over the last few decades due to habitat loss and poisoning from pesticide products like slug pellets. Below are some of the things you can do to support Hegehogs in your garden if you are privileged enough to have an outside space.
Leave a hole at the base of your garden fence
Have water stations in your garden
leave wild spaces in your garden
Invest in a hedgehog house or create your own Hedgie hibernation space
leave out special hedgehog food
If you don’t have an outside space you can
Donate to a wildlife rescue organisation
Volunteer or donate blankets, food etc to your local rescue centre
Support your local wildlife trust
Just some things we can do so that we can all live in a thriving, diverse beautiful planet. Please don’t stop trying even if those with all the power and wealth won’t bother. #artistsforagreenfuture #hedgehogs #endangeredspecies #cop26 #art #nomeart

So I am going to regularly post an animal, tree or environment I would like to see survive into the future but if we don’t change our ways will not make it for my child to enjoy in her adulthood. I am starting with Nanuk who I would like to see still on this planet in ten years time. Let’s change now, there are so many things we can do.
Shop local
support local farmers with good eco practices
plant a tree
grow veg
support your local wildlife trust
