A close up of my painting “Don’t Blink”. Cheetah’s are such amazing cats, I’ve been touched seeing the organizations like @ccfcheetah doing so much to help them! One of my goals in my art is to try and convey the beauty and importance of animals. This painting I tried to capture a midair moment when the cheetah is chasing down its prey. The pose is to suppose to be similar to some photos of a race horse in that moment when they take off. Please check out the full painting on my website imaginemyuniverse.com and follow me for more animal artwork! #ccfcheetah #cheetah #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #wildlifeartists #wildlifeartwork #artistsforconservation #cheetahs #pantheracats https://www.instagram.com/p/B4u8BxWllaI/?igshid=7f7kbbq41hpx
Conservation fund estimates that about 300 cubs are stolen from the region each year, with illegal pet markets in the Middle East the likely destination
If you are reading this, please take some time to think about the Cheetah’s situation. It’s my favorite species in the world, and God! It’s such an incredible creature. Many things deserves our attention and right now, I’m begging for you to spread the word:
In September, two cheetah smugglers were prosecuted in Somaliland – it was the first wildlife-related criminal conviction in the country.
“We estimate that the number of cubs poached from the Horn of Africa each year is around 300,” said Dr Marker.
“We need help to end this crisis before it is too late. At this rate, wild cheetahs will soon become extinct in these locations.”
Cheetahs are categorised as vulnerable under the International Union for Conservation of Nature – one step below “endangered”. Fewer than 7,000 are thought to exist in the wild.
If you are able to help, I beg you to do it! Even sharing information and raising awareness is already a little bit worth it. We can fight, we can win! We can be better!
