Endangered Species Print Project Demonstrates The Impact Of Numbers, Art & Charity

I often feel as though the number of worthwhile environmental causes floating around in today's world is bordering on stratospheric.

Which one...or two...or twenty...should we focus on and how do we get started?

Endangered animal populations tend to be an "easier" cause to get people to rally around since their images act like a built in logo...the minute we say "awwwwww, how cute!" we can't help but reach in our wallets.

The notion of resuscitating dwindling animal populations via corporate alliances has been done before, but artists Molly Schafer and Jenny Kendler are taking a decidedly different approach that is just as impactful...in fact, maybe even more so.

Their Endangered Species Print Project offers limited edition prints of critically endangered species -- designed by the artists themselves -- in whatever amount corresponds with the remaining animal or plant populations.

Whoa...that's a bummer. But it's also precisely the type of slap in the face that we kinda sorta need to get off of our derriers and do something about it.

For example, they're releasing just 37 prints of the Seychelles Sheath-Tailed Bat since there are just 37 believed to exist in the Seychelles Islands...and 140 prints of the Vancouver Island Marmot and 100 prints of the Panamanian Golden Frog.

The strategy they're employing is silent yet deadly because it really resonates within you.

Offering very detailed information on their site regarding multiple threatened species, their habitats, and distinguishing features, Schafer and Kendler concurrently educate while also injecting a little culture into willing buyer's lives.

They earmark half of the $50 purchase price of each artistic rendering toward your designated animal charity and retain a paltry $25 to cover their production costs.

Seems like a very fair disbursement of funds for a very worthy cause.
