Growing up, my sister and I had this tree over flowed with flowers and hummingbirds surrounding it. We would just stare at their beauty while they ate. I would be very upset to learn if they ever become extinct.

The Malayan Tiger population has had a recent large decrease. Some years ago, our Malayan Tiger population numbered 3,000 but today, thanks to poachers and their longing for tiger skins the population barely reaches 500.

Regal Plumage by Mia Gifford. All Rights Reserved.

This majestic creature is a large bird and males are well-known for their brightly colored feathers and plumage.

Although these birds have few natural predators, they are facing rapid deforestation in many areas of New Guinea.

This destruction of their habitat has sadly left many of these birds of paradise with no place to nest or live.

In addition, the birds were hunted by Europeans for many years after local peoples had told them that the birds were from the gods.

Almost all species of sea turtles are endangered. They are slaughtered for their eggs, meat, skin, and shells. They also die from all the trash in the ocean.

SUBMISSION: Extinct by Carol Hanna

Extinct by Carol Hanna. All Rights Reserved.

Usually, I do the paintings of the Songs of Birds, but when I saw the list of endangered birds, I could not help but somehow showing them in my artwork.  These are acrylic and ink on clayboard and the one is acrylic airbrushed onto canvas. Listed on "Endangered" are some of the names of endangered birds and the song displayed is the song of the Kirkland's Warbler, a beautiful bird found in Northern Michigan.  The extinct birds are no longer in existence and only photos or statues remain.

Turtles World by Laycie Thomas. All Rights Reserved.

Sea turtles are beautiful, complex creatures who are smart and swim through the water gracefully; however, the sea turtle is in danger. From accidentally swallowing plastic bags to get stuck in pop rings, these incredible animals are living in trash. They and the rest of our oceanic creatures need your help to survive and live healthful lives.
